EXTENSION OF (Continued Prom Page One) tlve procedures and a clarification of the entire problem prior to the enactment of Mich permanent legis lation as may then seem desirable. “3. The flexible machinery of code formulation and administration should be preserved with the use of such Instrumentalities of self discipline as code authorities per mitted. but with express restric tions upon the exercise of any pub lic authority by any private body. “4. Provision should be made for the voluntary submission of codes But codification should be limited to wiose trades and industries ac tually engaged In interstate com merce. or affecting It so substantial ly that the establishment and en forcement of standards of fair com petition therein are necessary for the protection of Interstate com merce. , “5. In the approval of codes of fair competition the president should oe required to make findings that the standards laid down by the congress had been met. These stand ards should include clear and prac tical definitions and prohibitions of monopolies and monopolistic prac tices. "6. The president s power to im pose conditions upon his approval ol a code, or to require amendments or modifications thereof, should be ■'xplldty given But the proponents ol voluntary codes should have the nght to withdraw their consent from codes so modified as to be unacceptable to them. "7. There shorld be a clear grant of power to the president to impose a limited code whenever there is no code in effect, which limited codes should contain onlv certain require ments. such as minimum wages maximum hour.*, the prohibition of notoriously uni air business practices, provisions to prevent the waste of natural resources and to require that information be furnished which is necessary to the public interest “8 The congress should itsell set the standards of minimum wages and maximum hours for adminis trative application in limited codes Some flexibility in these standards is absolutely necessary, but the area of executive discretion should be rather narrowly defined. “9. Provision should be made for financing cede administration so far as possible by the trade or industry concerned, subjecting the collection and administration of such funds to the general approval of the NBA, ro as to protect individual and min ority interest*, as well as the public interest lo. The provisions in the pretent law for voluntary agreement* to im prove industrial or labor conditions should be, preserved. **11—In order to sustain the effec tiveness of codes and agreements, the use of insignia and labels should be authorized, whereby consumers may assist in supporting the stand ards of fair competition. *12. The present exemption from the previsions of the anti-trust laws should be restricted and defined so as to provide that cooperative activi ties. legalized by oode provisions, shall be lawful only when the codes themselves hive been written in compliance with the anti-monopoly requirements of the act. “13. The rights of employes should be defined, as at present. In section 7 ia>. which contains a statement of principles which are gaining in aeneral understanding and accep tance and which have already re ceived the interpretation and sanc tion of the supreme court. “14. Various terms in the act should be clanifed by definition. , “15. The general provisions of Sec tion 8. 9 and 10 should be continued with some desirable Improvements in language. (These sections deal with the president's authority to place some codes under the AAA. his oil control authority and his powers to prescribe regulations) “18. The machinery for the enforcement of codes should be strengthened by providing for: (a) preventing violations by eoulty pro cedure: <b> miking violations of codes of rules punishable only by a fine: (c) providing for the compro mise of liabilities incurred; fd) au thorizing findings of fact on em* nlovee complaints as the basis for expeditious Judicial proceedings: (e> maklrj remedies under the Federal Trade commission act available for the enforcement of codes, agree ments or rules. “17.
