INDUSTRIAL CODE
FIRST IN CANADA EXPORTS OF SHINGLES OTTAWA, Ist November. Canada has invoked its. first compulsory business code as a direct result of the “new deal”'policy in the United States. The code relates to the marketing of lumber shingles for roofing. This natural product of Canada, especially of British Columbia, finds its greatest market in the United States. Previously, United States manufacturers had reduced their own output to 25 per cent, of capacity and requested Canadian manufacturers to do likewise. ,
The Canadian Shingle Association found a voluntary code ineffective. , It was' broken so often that the United 'States authorities threatened Entirely to prohibit Imports from Canada. The Canadian Government, accordingly, established the code, and no railway or steamship can transport shingles without a Government licence within the bounds of the code.
