Demand Makers Seek NRA Action on Lumber Code Wages
Furniture manufacturers petition for immediate NRA steps to apply furniture code wages to lumber companies. They claim unassembled furniture is produced in woodworking and finishing departments and sold to assembling houses and dealers, undercutting finished product prices. The lumber code sets 23 cents per hour versus 30 cents in furniture, enabling cheaper inroads into the industry. Concerns grow as patterns are cut and wages may be forced down or plants closed without adjustment. Complaints date back over a year with alleged code inquiries halted by lumber code authority.
