After such approval and in accordance with the provisions of my further Executive order, dated July 15, 1933, hearings have been granted by the Administrator to the above-named applicants, allegedly directly affected by said code, who have claimed that applications thereof have been unjust to them and have applied for an exemption therefrom with reference to the limitations of the use of productive machinery. It appearing to me on the basis of the showing made at the hearings granted the applicants above mentioned as set forth in the report thereon dated July 15 and August 4, 1933, rendered to me by the Administrator, which is hereby adopted and approved, that no case of injustice and extreme hardship requiring special treatment has been made out by the above-named applicants; Now, therefore, I, Franklin D.
