REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White H oiose. 

Sm: This is a report on the amendment of the Code of Fair Competition for the Household Ice Refrigerator Industry as approved 

by me on December 30, 1933. Application was made under date of 

July 25, 1934, by the Code Authoritl for the Household Ice Refrigerator Industry, for amendment o the provi ions of Article VI, 

Section 2, of the Code. Although fair notice of opportunity to be 

heard on this proposed amendment was given to all interested 

parties, no objections have been filed. 

This amendment was drawn up and proposed in accordance with 

Executive Order No. 6678, dated April 14, 1934, and with the latest 

suggested wording for such amendments drafted by the Legal Division. It is intended to govern the collection of assessments for 

code administration by the Household Ice Refrigerator Code 

Authority. 

This amendment does not in any way affect the labor provisions of 

the Code or anything other than assessment for expenses of code 

administration. 

The Assistant Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on 

said amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth, and 

on the basi of all the proceedings in this matter : 

I find that: 

(a) The am ndment to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of ob tructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign comm rce which nd 

to dimini h the amount thereof, and will provide for the g n ral w 1-

fare by promoting the organization of indu try for the purp e of 

cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining 

united action of labor and manacrem nt und rad qua go rnm ntal 

san tion and upervision, by eliminating unfair comp ti fr racti , by promoting the fulle t po ible utilization of th pr nt 

produ tive apacity of indu trie , by av idino- undu re ri i n of 

production (ex ept as may be t mp raril r quired) b in r a inO' 

the consumr tion of indu trial and ao-ri ultural pr u t thr u h 

incr a ing pur ha in p wer by r du ing and r lie in · unempl -

ment by improvin<Y andard of labor and by oth rwi r habilitatino- indu try. 

(b) Th~. od

nt th af re-

( d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed to 

and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed to 

and will not eliminate o::: oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them; 

(f) Those engaged in other steps of the conomic process have not 

been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendment. 

I believe the amendment to be fair to labor, to the consumer and 

to the industry, and for these reasons, therefore, I approve this 

amendment. 

Respectfully, 

AUGUST 31, 1934. 

HUGH s. JOHNSON, 

Administrator.
