REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT The PRESIDENT, The White House. Sm: I have the honor to submit herewith an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the Cotton Textile Industry. The which is was by Code Authority. Notice of opportunity to file ob]ectwns to this amendment was given and no objections were received. The amendment provides that that portion of Section 2, relative to employees in the Industry who are partially incapacitated by reason of age and who shall receive not l ess than a stipulated amount of the n1inimum wage jn the Code, and further that such number of employees shall not exceed a stipulated percentage of the total of the number of employees in the plant, shall be stricken out, and that the Executive Order of FebTuary 17, 1934 be inserted. 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 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 of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act including the Temova l of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount theTeof, and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose of cooperative action among trade gToups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restriction of production (ex cep t as may be te1nporarily 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 otherwise rehabilitating industry. (b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of Said Act, including without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. (c) The Code Authority is empowered to present the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the Industry as a whole.
