Lombard
LUMBER CODE IS
CALLED WORKABLE
BY COL GREELEY
SEATTLE. Wash. VP) Character
ized by Colonel W. B. Greeley as a
"good and workable code," th na
tional recovery program bearing the
imprint of the lumber code authority,
has been sent to members of the in
dustry by tho West Coast Lumber
men's association,
Its most Important provisions, In
the view of the W. C. L. A., were
those governing hours of labor and
minimum wages.
With certain exemptions, It forbad:
employes working for two or more em
ployers "for a longer period in any
week than specified herein for a!
single employer" and set the maxl-
mum hours of employment at 40'
hours per week.
Tho wage provisions set forth that
minimum contpensatlon for workors
employed on piece work or a con
tract basis shall not be less than the
minimum wage regularly sot for the
numrjer or hours employed; the ex
lsting amounts by which minimum
wages in the higher paid classes, ujfl
to workers receiving 30 per week
exceed minimum wages in the low
est paid c lasses shall be maintained ;
charges to employes for rent, board
and medical attention shall bo "fair."
The minimum wage stated in the
general provisions is not less than
40 cent an hour, unless in any Bub
division of tho iumber Industry and
the prevailing hourly rate for the
same class of workers in 1929 wan
less than 40 cents an hour, "in which
case the rato shall not be lees than
said prevailing hourly rate, plus 15
per cent and said hour rate was less
than 30 cents per hour."
An exception to this was tha lor
wages between 20 and 29 cents
stated in the general provisions Is
on the 1929 basis, with wages J
than 20 cents being counted as 20
cents. "The percentage of Increase
shall diminish one and ono half per
cent for each cent that wages par
hour exceeded 20 cents."
For example, if the wage on July
15, 1929, was 20 cents, the Increase
under the new schedule would be 15
per cent, making the new wage 23
cents. If It was 21 cents, the In
crease would be 13 & per cent, making
it 24 cents, and graduated according
ly. The cod continues that no mini
mum rate of wages for ay subdi
vision of tho lumber industry shall
be -less than that proposed by the
"applicant industries" In tho code as
filed July 10, 1933.
Minimum wage rates for the west
coast under the foregoing provision
is as follows:
Logging, 42.5 cents an hour; lumber
manufacture 42.5; factories, 40; fir
door, 40; fir plywood, 40. The rates
for tho western pine sub-division ore
virtually similar. In tho wooden
package division of the Industry, the
rate for the Pacific veneer container
sub-division Is 40 cents an hour. -
