.âThe National Industrial Recovery Act was intended, among other things, to “provide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose of cooperative action among trade groups” and to “induce and maintain united action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanctions and supervision.”
Statutes of the United States,
vol. 48, p. 195. Frederick H. Wood, counsel to the defendant in the Schechter case, called the act a “bold and unparalleled piece of legislation of the most sweeping and drastic character,” which, if upheld, would mean that “dictatorship is surely here.” See
A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. et al. v. United States,
295 U.S. 495, 501 (1935). Title I of the Act, as applied in the
Schechter
case, was held by the Supreme Court to be an unconstitutional delegation of power to the President and to exceed “the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce.”
Schechter Poultry,
490 U.S. at 529

and 542
