REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full 

compliance with the provisions o:f the National Industrial Recovery 

Act, :for an Amendment to the Code o:f Fair Competition :for the 

Gas Cock Industry, submitted by the Code Authority :for the said 

Industry. 

The existing provision o:f Article XVIII, Section 1 o:f the Code 

:for said Industry, is entirely inadequate in view o:f Executive Order 

6678 and Administrative Order X-36, and it is therefore evident 

that the proposed amendment to Article XVIII o:f said Code, the 

provisions o:f which :follow closely the text o:f the above mentioned 

Orders, will overcome the existing inadequate provisions. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

amendment to said Code having :found as herein set :forth and on 

the basis of all the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

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

well designed to promote the policies and purposes o:f Title I o:f the 

National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstructions to the :free flow o:f interstate and foreign commerce which tend 

to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide :for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of industry :for the purpose 

o:f cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action o:f labor and managem.ent under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by elin1inating unfair competitive 

practices, by promoting the :fullest possible utilization o:f the present 

productive capacity of the industries, by avoiding undue restrictions 

of production ( except as may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through 

increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by othen ise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amend l compli s in all re pects with the pertinent provi ion of said Title of aid Act, including without limitation 

Subsection (a) o:f Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and Subsection (b) o:f Section 10 thereof. 

( c) The amendment and the Code as amended are not d sign d 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practic s. 

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

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(2) 
3 

( e) Tho e engaged in other teps of the economic proce s have 

not been deprived of the rio·ht to be heard prior to approval of 

said amendment. For th e rea ons therefore I have appro ed this amendment, 

such approval and uch amendment to t ake effect jn ten (10) days, 

unless good cau e to the contrary i hown to me before that time 

and I i ue a sub equent order to that effect. 

Respectfully, 

JULY 12, 1934.
