REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White H O'Use. 

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

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

the Lumber Code Authority has submitted Amendments Nos. 10 (3) 

and 27, which are included and attached. 

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

conducted in Washington on January 22 and 23, 1934, in accordance ·with the provi ions of the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

These Amendments establish an administrative division for manufacturers of Specialty Wood Flooring. The products of this Divi- ~-; ion are produced invariably for specific installation , which practice 

presents unique problem · in Code administration. This group representing a sub::.tantial majority of the Industry is well equipped to 

handle these problems. No protests to this proposal were filed at the 

hearing or since and the request for administrative authority on the 

part of this group is justified by the information and evidence which 

has been submitted. The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

Amendments to said Code having found as h rein set forth and on 

the basis of all the proceedings in this matter; 

I find that: 

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

well designed to promote the policies and purpo e · of Title I of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of ob tructions 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 of labor and management under adequate governmental 

sanction and supervi ion, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue re trictions 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 otherwi e rehabilitating 

industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all re pects with the pertinent provi ions 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 Code empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid Amendments on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

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

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(2) 
3 

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

to and will not eliminate or oppre s mall enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate again t them. 

( f) Tho e engaged in othe.r steps of the economic process have not 

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

Amendment. 

For these rea ons therefore, I have approved these amendments to 

the Code.
