REPORT TO Tl-IE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: Under the Code of Fair Competition for the Lumber and 

Timber Products Industries, as approved by you on August 19, 1933, 

the Lumber Code Authority has submitted Amendments Nos. 10 (2) 

and 22, which are included and attached. 

This is a report on the hearing on the foregoing Amendments, 

conducted in '\Vashington on January 22 and 23, 1934, in accordance 

with the p-i·ovisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

These Amendments establish an administrative subdivision for 

Interc.oastal Distributors under the West Coast Logging and Lumber 

Division. Since the completion of the Panama Canal, the Atlantic 

Seaboard has become one of the larger markets for lumber manufactured on the '\Vest Coast. In developing this channel of distribution, manufacturers and wholesalers have become inter-related competitively to an exceptional degree. Therefore, it is intended that 

this Subdivision shall include within its jurisdiction every distributor engaged in the function of selling vVest Coast lumber on the 

Atlantic Coast. EYidence and information developed at the Hearing indicat~ that this proposal is in the interest of stabilizing the 

market for this particular lumber. All parties, whether manufacturers or wholesalers, involved are a.greed that this effort to secure 

stabilization through cooperation is most desirable. 

The Deputy Administrator in hjs final report to me on said 

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

the basis of all the proceedings 111 this matter; 

I find that: 

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

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title 1 of the 

National Indu.strial Recovery Act including the removal of obstructions to the free flow 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 o.f 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 industries, by avoiding undue restrictions of production ( except as may be temporarily required), 

by increa,sing 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 limita-

(2) 
3 

tion Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

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

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

to and will not permit 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,scriminate 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. 

(g) The Amendments are regulatory of the operations of only a 

portion of the vVholesale Lumber Distributors, and the administration of the Code for the distributors subject to the jurisdiction of 

these amendments i.s under the supervision of a manufacturers 

division. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved these Amendments 

to the Code but have qualified my approval with the condition that 

if and when Amendments to the Lumber and Timber Products Code 

regulating the operations of all wholesale lumber distributors are 

presented, or if a proposed Code of Fair Competition for VVholesale Lumber Distributors i,s submitted to the Administration, consideration will be given to the revision of these Amendments so as 

to transfer the supervisory powers of the West Coast Logging and 

Lumber Division to the agency established for the administration 

of a Code for all whole,sale lumber distributors. 

Respectfully, 

MAY 3, 1934. 

HUGH s. JoH.r-SON, 

Administrator.
