REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White H ouae, 

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

compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act, for a modification of the Code of Fair Competition 'for the 

Trailer :Manufacturing Industry. 

The existing provis10n of Article VI, Section 6 of the Code for 

the said Industry, is entirely inadequate in view of Executive Order 

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

that the proposed modification of Article VI of said Code, the provisions of which follow closely the text of the above mentioned 

Orders, will overcome the existing inadequate provisions. 

FINDINGS 

The Defuty Administrator in his final report to me on said modification 9 said Code having found as herein set forth and on the 

basis of all the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

(a) The modification of said Code and the Code as modified are 

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

National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstructions to the free flow of 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 

of C"Operative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competi-

~ive practices by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the 

present productive capacity of the industries, by avoiding undue 

restrictions of production ( except as may be temporarily require l), 

by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by r educing and relieving 

unemployment by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as modified complie in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of aid Act, including wi hout limitation Sub 0 ction (a) of Section 3 ub ec ion (a) of Section 7 and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10, thereof. 

( c) The Trailer Manufacturer ' A ·iation w.a and i a trade 

a ocia tion truly r epresentative of the afore aid In lu try, and that 

said a · ociati n impo eel and impo es no inequitable restrictions on 

admi sion to memb r hip therein and has applied for this modification. 

(cl) The modification and the Code as modified are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(2) 
., 

u 

( e) The modification and the Code as moclifie :l are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppre.:is mall enterpri es an l will not 

operate to discriminate again t them. 

(f) Those engaged in other step of the ec nomic proce s have not 

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

modification. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this modification. 

Respectfully, 

JULY 31, 1934. 

HuGH S. Jon~soN, 

Administrator.
