Washington, D. C., Oct. 7.-President Roosevelt today approved two amendments to the lumber code, thereby bringing the many concerns engaged in the manufacture, importation and distribution of plywood and commercial veneers under the provisions of the code.

Wages and hours are the same as for the face veneer manufacturers, already under code jurisdiction. Employees are limited to a maximum of forty hours per week, and wage scales run from a minimum of 23 cents per hour in the South to 4212 cents per hour in northern congested areas.

A nelv division, called the "Veneer and Plywood Division," is created under the Lumber Code Authority, taking the place of the present veneer division, which becomes the Face Veneer Subdivision of the new group, and which will continue under the administration of The Veneer Association, 616 South Michigan Ave., Chicago. The Plywood and Veneer Association, 176 West Adams St., Chicago, has been named to administer the code for the plywood subdivision, while the administrative agency for the Commercial veneer subdivision will be appointed by a committee to be named later. The three subdivisions are to name a co-ordinating committee, which will be designated as the administrative agency of the Lumber Code Authority for the entire division.
