Srn: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full 

compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery

Retail Lumber, Lumber Products, Building Materials and Building 

Specialties Trade, submitted by the Code Authority of the Code of

which funds shall be contributed by members of the Trade. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth and on 

the basis of all the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstructions to the free fl.ow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend 

to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization 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 utilization of the present 

productive capacity of the industries, by avoiding undue restrictions 

of production ( except as may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through 

increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended 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. 

( c) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(2)

( e) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not 

been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

Amendment. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this Amendment. 

Respectfully, 

• JULY 18, 1934.
