Biography (note)
  • The National Industrial Recovery Act (1933) provided for the formulation of "codes of fair competition" which regulated labor practices, production standards, pricing, and other aspects of industry. Code authorities, made up of representatives of each industry, formulated the codes and were charged with the task of enforcement. The purpose of the code system was to provide a mechanism with which the federal government could regulate and standardize industrial practices as part of its effort to promote economic recovery during the Depression. The Supreme Court invalidated the code system in 1935.
