Woodwork to Stay Under DOUGLAS FIR

Lumber Code CEDAR SPRUCE

Washington, D. C., April l8.-Definitely rejecting the plea of a number of woodworking concerns located in metropolitan areas, the National Recovery Administration, in its administrative order number 9-10A, has denied the petition of the Cabinet, Mill and Architectural Woodwork Institute, under which name the petition was filed.

"This action," declared M. W. Stark, executive officer of the National Woodwork Association, "by avoiding the imposition of high metropolitan wage scales upon plants located in remote sections, will enable thousands of small factories to remain in business and continue to provide employment for vast numbers of workers. It will prevent the imposition of high prices upon the home builder, especially the small-home builder. It u'ill conserve present markets by continuing the competitive equality betrveen wood products and substitutes. Through better utilization of forest products it rvill aid the efforts of the government and the lumber industry torvard conservation of forest resources, in which the President has shown so much interest."

Some of the reasons behind the NRA decision are indicated in a letter addressed by General Johnson to Congressman Sam B. Hill of Washington. "The present and rvell established method of refinement of timber products is one of the most important features of conservation," declared General Johnson's letter, "and to take this process out of the Lumber and Timber Products Code would greatly increase the cost of ordinary building woodwork construction, particularly for small homes and small buildings. It rvould destroy employment, especially in remote localities where there are now no alternative sources of industrial employment.

"Woodworking plants in conjunction with the sawmills scattered through rural communities exert a great stabilizing influence for community welfare. They use timber from the farm woodlands as well as from the commercial forests.

"Decentralization of industry by encouraging fabrication at or near the source of raw materials is one of the means fostered by the Administration to spread employment over wider areas and into more cong'enial surroundings. To remove rvoodwork from the l-umber and Timber Products Code rvould tend to retard this effort."
