REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 
 
 The President, 
 
 The White House. 
 Sir : This is a report of the Hearing on the Supplemental Code of 
 Fair Competition of the Athletic Goods Distributing Trade, con- 
 ducted in Room 2062, Department of Commerce Building on May 
 28, 1934. The Supplemental Code, which is attached, was presented 
 by duly qualified and authorized representatives of the Trade, com- 
 plying with the. statutory requirements. 
 
 THE TRADE 
 
 According to the census of Wholesale Distribution for the year 
 1929, there were 283 establishments engaged in the distribution of 
 sporting goods with annual net sales of $71,216,889, and employing 
 4,031 persons. However, this figure covers all lines of sporting goods 
 and no further breakdown is available which covers only the dis- 
 tribution of Athletic Goods, as defined in this Supplemental Code. 
 
 OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE CODE 
 
 The provisions containing supplemental definitions are considered 
 inclusive and accurate. 
 
 The Administrative provisions supplementing the General Code 
 establish a Divisional Code Authority which is fairly and adequately 
 representative of all the different elements in the Trade. 
 
 The Trade Practice supplemental provisions are designed to cure 
 innumerable evils existing in the Trade today, and are not considered 
 in any way objectionable. 
 
 FINDINGS 
 
 The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said Sup- 
 plemental Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis of 
 all the proceedings in this matter : 
 
 I find that 
 
 (a) Said Supplemental Code is well designed to promote the 
 policies and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery 
 Act, including 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 organiza- 
 tion of industry for the purpose of cooperative action among trade 
 groups, 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 use of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoid- 
 ing undue restriction of production (except as may bs temporarily 
 
 (2) 
 
required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricul- 
 tural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing 
 and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and 
 by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 
 
 (b) Said Trade normally employs not more than 50,000 employees 
 and it is not classified by me as a major industry. 
 
 (c) The Supplemental Code as approved 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; and that the 
 applicant association is a trade association truly representative of 
 the aforesaid Trade ; and that said association imposes no inequitable 
 restrictions on admission to membership therein. 
 
 (d) The Supplemental Code is not designed to and will not permit 
 monopolies or monopolistic practices. 
 
 (e) The Supplemental Code is not designed to and will not 
 eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not operate to dis- 
 criminate against them. 
 
 (f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not 
 been deprived of the right to be heard prior to the approval of this 
 Supplemental Code. 
 
 For these reasons, the Supplemental Code has been approved. 
 Respectfully, 
 
 Hugh S. Johnson, 
 
 A dminis trator.

 Authority.

 various lines of sport to induce such athletic organizations, leagues,

 persons to use, recommend or adopt as " official " the athletic goods 
 or equipment of such members of the Trade and then advertise that 
 such athletic organization, leagues, association, athletes, winners,

 thereof shall not use or deal in the athletic goods or equipment of a

 discrimination in price between purchasers of the same class on 
 account of differences in the grade, quality, or quantity of the com-

 the said athlete or person, and with his approval, the exclusive right 
 and good-will in and to said name, nickname, or initials for the use 
 on the same line of goods, and where the effect of the use by the said 
 member of the Trade of the said name, nickname, or initials is to 
 deceive or tend to deceive the purchasing public as to the source or 
 make of the said line of goods, and where the tendency is to in- 
 juriously affect the business of the competitor; provided, that noth- 
 ing contained herein shall be construed to deprive any person of any 
 right which may be enjoyed under any existing law. 
 
 Section 5. No member of the Trade shall maliciously and/or 
 knowingly induce or attempt to induce the breach of existing con- 
 tracts between competitors and any athlete or person prominent in

 quanthVy, grade, or construction thereof, or replace for any other 
 cause, any such product which has been used.
