welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose 

of cooperative action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by pr01noting the fullest po ·sible utilization of the 

pre ·ent productive capacity of the industries, by avoiding undue 

r e.st1·iction of proclu tion (except as may be temporarily requir-ed),

Amend Article VII by adding a new section as follows: 

10. The Code Authority and any division or subdivision agencies 

of the Code Authority may, upon submission to and approval by 

the Administrator of its proposed Articles or Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, incorporate under the Laws of any State 

or Territory of the United States or of the District of Columbia, 

such corporation to be known, in the case of the Code Authority, 

a " Retail Lumber and Building l\1aterial Code Authority, Incorporated ". The powers, duties, objects and purposes of said corporation shall be limited in all respects to the powers, duties, objects and 

purposes of the Code Authority ns provided in this Code, and the 

existence of the corporation shall be during the term of this Code. 

No amendment of either the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation 

or By-Laws of such corporation shall be made without the prior 

approval of the Administrator. If, at any tin1-e, the Administrator 

shall determine that the corporate status assumed by the Code Authority or any division or subdivi ion agency is interfering with the 

proper exercise of its powers and duties under this Code or is not 

effectuating the policies or purposes of the Act, he may, aft~"r such 

notice and hearing as he may deem necessary, require appropriate 

modifications of the structure of the corporatiOn (if consistent with 

the law of the state of incorporation), the substitution of a corporation created under the laws of another state in the same manner as 

the existing Code Authority, the substitution of a non-corporate 

Code Authority truly representative of the Trade or such other 

actions as he may deem expedient.
