REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

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

This is a report on a Public Hearing on Amendment No. 31 to that 

Code conducted in Washington, D. C. beginning on January 22, 1934, 

in accordance with the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

The Amendment contemplates a reduction in the minimum wago 

rate in the \V ooden Package Division in the state of Colorado north 

of 38° north latitude to thirty cents per hour. 

It is believed that such a reduction will more equitably effectuate 

the purposes and policies of the Act and the National Recovery 

Administration by equalizing the wage burden and thereby bring 

about" fair competition". 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

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

the basis of all the proceedings in this matter; 

I find that: 

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

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

the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of 

obstructions to the free flow of interstate and for,eign 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 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 increasing 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 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 Amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

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

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

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

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

operate to discriminate against them. 

(2) 
3 

(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 

Amendment. 

For these reasons) therefore, I have approved this Amendment 

to the Code. 

Respectfully, 

HUGH s. JOHNSON.
