REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The TVkite House. 

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

This is a report on the Public Hearing on Amendment No. '32 to 

that Code conducted in Washington beginning January 22, 1934. 

The amendment establishes a lower hourly minimum wage for female 

labor employed by manufacturers ubject to the jurisdiction of the 

Pacific Veneer Sub-Division of the Code. The evidence submitted 

to 1ne at the Public Hearing establishes the necessity for this reduction in order to insure that the employers affected will be able to 

compete with manufacturers of fibre containers. The minimum wage 

prescribed by the amendment represents a substantial ·increase in the 

rates that formerly prevailed in the industry and exceeds the statutory minimum. for the State of California, which is one of the states 

subject to the application of thP amendment. 

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 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 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 Su bs?ction (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. 

(cl) The amendment and the Code a amended are not designed 

t.o and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(2) 
3 

( 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. 

(f) Those engaged in other steps of the econorn.ic process have not 

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

amendment. 

For these reason , therefore, I have approved this amendment to 

the Code. 

Respectfully, 

APRIL 6, 1934.

Adm,inistrator for I ndustrial R ecovery.
