Thi m ndment hange the wao-e rate in th Black Hill Fore t 

r egion of South Dakota and Wyoming to equalize the wa o-e in thi 

region with the wage rate which prevail in the t erritory from which 

the employees are drawn. The present Code wage rate for this 

region i the same as in the den e fir forest of Oregon and Washington, while the timber operations are similar to tho e in orthern 

~Iinnesota and Wisconsin and the laborers are drawn from the latter 

two States. 

Unless the wage rates in these two territories are equalized it will 

be impos ible for the operators in the Black Hills Forest region to 

continue to give sati factory employment to labor becau e of the 

exce ive co t of the lumber operation.

welfare by promoting the organization of indu try for th purpo,se of 

cooperative action of labor and management under a. lequate governm'ental sanction and supervi ion, by eliminatino- unfair competiti-ve practice by promoting the .fullest po ible utilization of the 

pre ent pro lu ti-ve capacit of indu ries, by avoiding undue retriction of production ( except a may be temporarily required), by 

increasino- the con umption of industrial and aQTicultural products 

through increa ing purcha ing power, by reducino- and relievinounemployment by improving tandards of labor, and by otherwi e 

r ehabilitatino- indu tr . (b) The Code a amended complie in all re pect with the pertinent provi ion of said Title o.f said ct, including without limitation ub ection (a) of ction 3, ub ection (a) of Section 7 and 

Sub ection (b) of Section 10 thereof.

( c) The Code empower the Code Authority to pre,sent the aforesaid Amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

( d) The mendment and the ode as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolie or monopolistic practices. 

( ) The mendment and the Code as amended are not .de igned to 

and will not eliminate or oppre n1all enterpri es and will not 

operate t di criminate again t them. 

(f) Tho e engage l in other steps of the economic pr0cess have 

not b en d prived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

mendm nt. 

For the e rea on , therefore, I have approved this Amendment to 

the Code. '
