REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White H ou.se. 

Sm: On Augu t 19, 1933, you approved a Code of Fair Competition for the Lumber and Timber Products Industries. 

Thi is a r port on a Hearing on Amendments Nos. 34 and 37 to 

that Code con lucted in vV ashington, D.C. beginnino- on January 22, 

J 934 in accordance with the National Ind u trial Recovery Act. 

The Amendments contemplate the establi hment of a ,v ooden Pail 

and Tub Subdivision to the Wooden Package Division of the Lumber 

and Timber Products Code and were pre ented by representatives 

of the industry over which the contemplated Subdivision will have 

jurisdiction, said to represent 94.3 per cent of the value of such prod11cts manufactured and distributed in the United States and representino· with approval 93 per cent of the invested capital. 

In 1928 approximately one thou and and even hundred (1 700) 

employees were engaged in the Wooden Pail and Tub Indu try and 

the sales for that year are estimated at $3,427,720.00. The e +imated 

demand for 1934 for the products of the industry is below the ales 

for 1933 which were estimated at $1,634,926.01. 

The Deputy .Administrator in his final repoTt to n1e on aid 

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

the basis of all the p .rnceedings in this matter; 

I find that: 

(a) The Amendments to said Code and the Code a amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purpo es of Title I of the 

ational Industrial RecoYery Act includino· the remoYal of ob truction to the free flow of inter tate and foreign commerce "hich tend 

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

welfare by promoting the organization of indu try for the purpose 

of cooperatiYe action among trade group , by inducing ancl 1naintaining united action of labor and management under adequate 

governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practice , by promoting the full t po , ible utilization of the 

pre ent productiYe apacity of indu trie , by aYoiding undue restrjction of production ( except a 1nay be temporarily required), 

by increa ing the consumption of indu trial and agricultural product · through increasing purchasing power, by retlucino- and relie, inounemployment, by improving standard of lab-or, and by otherwive 

rehabilitating industry. (b) The Code us amended complie · in all r pects with the pertinent provision of aid Title of . ail Act including without limitation Sub ection (a) f Section 3 ub ection (a) of Section 7 and 

Sub ection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( c) The Cod empower the Code i..uthority to pre ent the aforesaid Amendment on betalf of the indu try a a whole. 

(2)

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

to and will not p ermit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The Amendments and the Code as amended are not designed 

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

operate to di criminate against them. 

(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

.Amendments. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved these Amendments 

to the Code. 

Respectfully,
