The price increase does not extend to all sales which may be made under L-DO but only to these two classes of sales: to the United States government and its agencies, contractors and sub*contractors, or to manufacturers of Western Wooden Agricultural Containers. It is also limited to the states, named above, which were in the area covered by the wage award in the "Big Pine" cases.

On sales of. L-N lumber to box manufacturers, the box makers will be permitted to pass on the increased lumber costs to box buyers. However, OPA pointed out that a corollary amendrment of maximum price regulation No. 186 (Western Wooden Agricultural Containers), will require that buyers of box shook and boxes must certify that the increased cost will not be passed on to the consumer of the agricultural commodity packed and shipped in the boxes.

The increases authorized. lor items covered by L-n0 are to remain in effect only as long as Order L-DO remains in force.
