THE CALIFORf,.IIA LUMBERMERCFTANT

JackDionne,pttrlislw

How Lrumber l-rooks

Portland, January 21-Oregon and Washington's Douglas fir industry broke peace-time lumber production records for eighteen years in 1947 with a cut from 1775 sawmills of 7.694 bill\on board feet, according to Harris E. Smith, secretary of the West Coast Lumllermen's Association.

"This increased lumber production, highest since 1929. has resulted rn the greatest home-building year since 1925," Mr. Smith reported. "There were 830,00O homes started in 1947, and that means framing lttmber was on the ground {or every one of these nerv homes."

Forecasting even larger production in 1948, if suffrcient railroad cars are available ftir lurnber shippers, Mr. Smith said that increased lumber output is the best answer trr inflationary trends. "Lumber has done its part to bolster the nation's economy," he said.

Productior.r in 1947 exceeded 1946 cut by 388 milliorr feet, and was 1.489 billion feet over cttt in 1945, last year of war-time controls, Sr-nith pointed out.

The weekly average of West Coast I-umber l'rodttction in December (5 rveeks) lr,as 132,389,000 boarcl feet, or 89.1 per cent of the 1942-1947 average. Orders averagecl 132,883,000 b.f ; Shipments 144,564,000 b.f. \\reekly average for November were: I'roduction 150,@0,000; (101.0/r, of the L942-47 average) Orders 154,324,000. Shipments 1(r9,667,000 b.f.

ilIore Than The fiolden Bule

Bv Jack Dionne

There is a firm oi printers in the east who have .been in business for more than two generations, and who have during that entire time used as their business and advertising slogan, this very delightful phrase:

"More Than the Golden Rule'"

Isn't that keen ?

There is so much talk nowadays about "The Golden Rule in business," that it is refreshing to find a man who has been ofiering MORE than that Tor a long, long time'

In the first place we are impressed with the thought that he must have kept his promise, or he wouldn't have lived and prospered so long a time.

Proving that "It CAN be done."

Then comes the natural thought: What does it mean to give "More than the Golden Rule?"

That Godly principle is to do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

MORE than that means that you are willing to do for others MORE than you expect them to do for you. And THAT is a truly regenerating spirit.

It is what Wanamaker had in mind when he adopted his slogan: "The customer is always right." He KNEW

Employer-Employee Dirurer Held At Long Beach

Wood ProCucts Institute, whose membership consists of sash and door, cabinet, and fixture manufacturers in Long Beach and the surrounding area, held a very enjoyable employer-employee banquet and entertainment at the Masonic Temple, Long Beach, on Wesdnesday, January 14. A total of 151 employees attended.

The Institute was formed for the purpose of negotiating labor contracts and bringing about better employeremployee relations.

W. A. MacArthur, MacArthur Planing Mill, Long Beach, is secretary. manager; Jay Burgin, Burgin Planing Mill, Long Beach, is president, and Clifford E. Wavell, Wavell Showcase & Fixture Co', Long Beach, is vice president'

that there were many, many people who would take advantage of that business principle, and IMPOSE upon him. They DID. Thousands of them. But he stuck to his rule just the same.

It is the same thought that the old French storekeeper in Southern Louisiana uses when he gives the housewife thirteen for a dozen, and calls it-"Lagniappe." For Lagniappe simply means moie than you agree to furnish, and therefore "More than the Golden Rule."

The Man of Galilee had the same thought in mind when He said to the Jew who had been made to carry the burden of the Roman soldier a mile, as prescribed by law: "When he makes you carry it ONE mile, carry it TWO."

And I like this thought best of all. We are inclined to refer to the Golden Rule as a Christian theory-and it IS of course-but Christianity should be really rrMore than the Golden Rule." For the great Pagan philosophers from Confucius right down through Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle to Marcus Aurelius, ALL preached the gospel of the square deal, which is the Golden Rule.

But the Gospel of the Second Mile is a greater one. It means "More than the Golden Rule."

One More Christmas Story

The Passing Show column of the Long Beach PressTelegram recently published an interesting item. Erik Flamer, Lon.q Beach wholesale lumber dealer told tlie columnist that in place of the box of Oregon apples that he usually received each Christmas season from Herbert A. Templeton Lumber Co., Portland, he received a card with the following message: "We are going to say Merry Christmas in a dift'erent way this year. Our remembrance to you is the life of a little child in Germany. This child would almost certainly starve to death before next summer except for the additional food he will receive in your name through the American Friehds Service Committee, with rvhom we have made suitable arrangements."

Price Cuts In Douglas Fir Will Close Spending Curbs, Less Government Buying Small Mills, Lower Production, tVill Ease Lumber Pr'tces, Weyerha€user

Oregon Operator Testifies Spokesman Says

Washington, D. C., January 12, 1948.-"It is the history of the lumber industry that it produces itself out of a market, that it continues to increase production until prices break and marginal mills close," testified Douglas fir spokesman Judd Greenman, president, Oregon American Lumber Corp., Veronia, Oregon, before members of the Congressional Joint Committee Investigating Housing today.

Taking sharp issue with the attention focused on lumber industry pr<.rfits at various regional hearings of the Committee, Mr. Greenman flatly stated that fir lumber prices are not too high nor are "profits in the lumber industry as a whole today greater than are needed if this industry is to replenish its timber and amortize its plants at current costs and values."

Mr. Greenman pointed to the vast difference in economic position between the high-cost and low-cost producer within his region as evidenced by the great spread in selling price for a given item during a given month.

The entrance of the high cost producer into the field under the siimulus of a favorable market is responsible for the tremendous increase in production in this region since the end of OPA, he asserted. Production will continue to rise "so long as prices are on a profitable level," he predicted.

In defense of his opening statement that prices and profits are not too high in view of replacement costs, Mr. Greenman introduced evidence showing the sharp increase in operating costs and labor since 1939. In addition, the industry's raw material-standing timber-was shown to have increased 328 per cent over six years ago.

The committee, he advised, rvhose purpose it is to expand and cheapen available housing, "will be well advised if it lets Douglas fir lumber prices alone, either by direct or indirect action. After more than forty years of experience with them, I am thoroughly confident they will, as they always have in the past, provide a stimulus for constantly increased production rvhile demand remains high and such production is vital," he concluded.

Washington, D. C., January 12,Ig4&.-Laird Bell, chairman of the Board of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, told members of the Congressional Joint Committee Investigating Housing today that despite its genuine concern rvith the high cost of lumber, there is very little that Weyerhaeuser or any individual manufacturer can do to exercise corrective influence.

"To attack price alone is simply trying to cure a symptom rather than the disease. The disease is the excess number of dollars that want to buy the limited supply of material," Mr. Bell told the Committee. He suggested that only by increasing supply or decreasing demand could the disease be cured.

Production is already at capacity, he pointed out, and the government itself, through deferring its own building programs which are less urgent than house building and exercising its authority to limit unhealthy, over-expanded buying power can do most to stabilize prices by easing the demand for lumber, he recommended.

Turning to his own company, Mr. Bell stated that Weyerhaeuser Sales Company marketed 3.4 per cent of the total lumber sold in the United States in 1946. and marketed it at prices "well under the going market" for identical species. This did not influence the general price level in any way, Mr. Bell said. "Gray markets" would be the only result of voluntary allocation agreements as suggested by the Anti-Inflation Act, he continued, because lumber manufacturers do not control their o'ivn outlets and therefore have no control over the price to the consumer.

Anti-trust legislation precludes any collective action by manufacturers, Mr. Bell added.

Reiterating his concern over prices and their ellect on housing, Mr. Bell indicated to the Committee that his company would give further'consideration to any possible action which might benefit the situation.

Joe Weston, field service director, Douglas Fir Plyrvood Association, Tacoma, was in San Francisco on Association business around the first of the year. He was on his rvay to Tacoma from Chicago.

A reminder to President Truman and his forty billion dollar peace-time budget: "Willful waste and woeful want, go hand in hand."

* * *

* * {<

poor otd Henry Wallace ! Day and night his doleful jeremiads rise heavenward. Henry wants to save the country from ruin and despair, he says. IIe's in favor of "peace and prosperity."

Reminds me of . lotoJ "l*J nr., of a generation ago. They find a man dying in the desert. One of the ladies in the cast offers the su,fferer aid. "What's the trouble with him?" asks Jolson. "He's dying for a drink," said the lady. Said Jolson-('Oh, Lady, who ain't?"

That's the way i, t, ;; lvdl"".'" platform. who ain't in favor of peace andr prosperity? If all those who ARE should vote for Henry, he'd be elected by acclamation'

Some of Wallace's apologists say, "Ilenry is sincere." Naw. Henry isn't sincere. Henry's "sore." Reminds me of a guy na:ned Lucifer who was hurled headlong from heaven. Henry was hurled headlong from the cabinet. Both Henry and Lucifer have been "sore" ever since, and trying to get even. That's all.

I often wonder if the ;Jt": of pigs that Henry destroyed just to raise the price of pork, instead of feeding them to hungry millions all over the world, come to visit the little man from Ioway sometimes in his dreams. Maybe he wants to save the world to atone for that little pig deal'

Same time he plowed under the pigs he likewise plowed under cotton, and sugar, and other valuable commodities. The world was both hungry and naked when Henry plowed under all that food and clothing. There has never been the least doubt in my mind but that Henry's total ability

was measured and demonstrated in that awful and unbelievable New Deal plowing under of the necessities of life. That seems to be the*way he thinks in all matters. So he wants to be President and save the world FOR the pinks and the fellow-travelers and FROM those who add two and two and get four, and who still believe it a sin to destroy those gifts of God that men need in the form of food and clothing, etc., and; who believe in a strictly Democratic form of government, without any Communistic tint-the color that Henry seems to like so well.

Henry is just one of ;""" ";"tge little men who surrounded President Roosevelt during the early days of the New Deal, none of whom possessed unusual ability, few of whom possessed any fitness for the jobs they rattled around in, and most of whom fell heir through contagion to the same Messianic complex that was so completely prevalent in our government in those days. Only Henry is some sort of mystic in religion, they say, and he got a bigger and deeper infection of the virus than most of the others. With no sign of the stamp "Success" on anything he has ever done, he still insists on being a great leader and a world savior. Heaven keep this laughter from my liPs!

And Mr. Truman, who not long ago advocated higher wages without higher prices, now advocates the highest budget in history, with an accompanying cutting down of prices, profits, etc. He should remember the words of the famous "Two Black Crows" of years back. One of thern said: "The doctor told me to eat plenty of chicken, and stay in the house nights, and you know you can't do both." Looks like the President enjoys advocating fundamentals that refuse to coordinate. t(t<*

The forty billions of dollars that budget calls for must come from the pockets of every American. Remember during the war when they jumped the cost of Government continually and rapidly to meet the emergency costs of war? Remember how each of us automatically assumed that when the war ended the costs and the burdens and the taxes would race downward, and give us relief? Remember? What suckers!* * *

And now we realize that these costs and these burdens and these taxes are NEVER going to be deliberately lowered by those in power. This year the budget breaks all records-even those of war-and next year it will be progressively higher. Only one of two things will put an end to it; either a complete change in governmental think-

(Continued on Page 10)

(Continued from Page B) ing and planning, or a hell of a financial flip-flop. Let us pray for the first. * * *

Of course, in Presidential election years we must always expect a deluge of intellectual dishwater served with champagne labels; and this year promi.ses to be one of the worst on account of tense conditions. In the things that will be printed and spoken, it is going to be mighty difficult to separate the political from the actual. It looks like the kind of year the late Senator Joe Bailey rneant when he said: "It's going to take all the he-men and the shewomen to beat the she-men and the he-women this year."

***

The other day representatives of the lumber industry gathered in Washington at the insistent call of a Congres.sional Committee investigating the housing situation. The avowed purpose of the Comnirittee as stated by its spokesmen, was to bring about a reduction in the price of lumber. The mill men who were invited answered the call. and the representation was a stout one. Before the hearing started the attorneys representing the lumbermen told them that they could not take any concerted action with regard to lumber prices because in doing so they would come under the heavy hand of the anti-trust laws. They were told that they could not legally discuss lumber prices, even with the Congressional Committee. They were told that the Committee had no authority of any sort to grant them immunity against the anti-trust laws. Most of those present are still operating their businesses under a consent decree of the federal courts, handed the.m when they were convicted years back of doing things which various departments of the federal government had told them they must do oR

While this hearing was going on in Washington, news came that in the State of Arkansas the government had just made a sale of Pine timber from a national forest for the highest price ever paid in all history for stumpage; $57.87 per thousand feet. Yes, those are the figures-

FIFTY.SEVEN DOLLARS AND EIGHTY-SEVEN CENTS A THOUSAND FOR YELLOW PINE

TREES. These facts were related to the Committee by the lumbermen as an example of how lumber prices get high. ***

Honest, Mister, did you ever expect to live to see the

day when Yellow Pine stumpage would bring such a price as that? Why, I can remember seeing the finest stand of Long Leaf Pine timber in the south sold for about 25 cents a thousand.

Of course the price of lumber is too high, just as is the price of everything else. Present prices were arrived at largely by the auction system. The willingness of the trade itself to bid for scarce lumber lifted the price to its present high level. It is asking too much of human nature to expect a man to sell a car of lumber for a certain price, when buyers are thrusting more money in his face and daring him to take it. That's how lumber got up. It would be better for all concerned if a consistent leveling off could be arrived at. But how that is going to be done, is a puzzler, until the old law of supply and demand takes a hand. So far, Mr. Demand has been consistently stronger than Mr. Supply, and remains so today.

Abraham Lincoln was born in February. The late William Allen White, "The Sage of Emporia," said that it was a good thing Lincoln lived when he did; that the times in which we now live could never produce a Lincoln. If a man were born today with Lincolnesque possibilities, he would be softened, side-tracked, pampered, and diverted in so many difrerent directions that he probably would lose all the elements of greatness. He might end up running a soft drink stand. * *

Have you heard about the dumb guy who heard some' one say that the Russians have refused the good ofFces of the United Nations, and said: "'Where the hell are they? f want to rent them."

T, M. Cobb Co. Expcrnds Ios Angeles Plcnt

Expansion of the Los Angeles plant of T. M. Cobb Co. by the addition of a new building 40 by 8O feet was recently announced. This was made necessary by the steadily increasing sales of R.O.W. Windows, which are made and assembled in the plant.

The R.O.W. unit is being well received by builders, according to a statement by Earl Galbraith, sales manager, who stresses the fact that all sales of this window unit are handled through lumber and sash and door dealers.

Major W. Overbeck is plant superintendent.

"Isn't that mighty high for a parrot?" asked the shopper.

"But this is a very special bird," said the storekeeper. "He speaks six languages."

"To hell with that," said the shopper. "All I want to know is-is he tender?"

Government Timber Sales Bring Record Prices For Fir and Yellow Pine

Within the last sixty days sales of Government timber from National forests have brought prices never before reached or even thought of.

About nine million feet of timber was sold by the Forest Service'from the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas during December and January that brought an average of $5L a thousand feet. Of this total, one block of 2,400,W0 feet sold for $57.87 per thousand. This block was advertised for sale at an estimated value of $25.50 per thousand. This was the highest price ever paid for Yellow Pine timber in history.

Sin,ce the first of January the Forest Service sold Fir timber in Oregon for the highest price ever paid for that

species. The sale consisted of about 7,000,000 feet of Douglas Fir from the Willamette National Forest, for which they got $25.05 per thousand. The second high bid was just five cents a thousand less,showing the keen competition that existed. The Previous high price of Fir timber was established several months back in Portland, when the Forest Service sold some Clackamas County timber for $24.s2.

Proof that these prices were created by the competition of the bidders is established by the fact that the timber that brought $25.05 was appraised by the Government at $10.70 per thousand, and that which sold for $24.52 rvas appraised at $7.85.

First Cooperative Forest In Second Growth Douglcrs Fir Estcblished

frrzaa?ndaa

r "Just what all does Bruce make?" Here's the answer to that often-asked question. All these products are either made of wood or, as in the case of Bruce Floor Finishes and Terminix, developed for the maintenance and preservation of wood. They are right at the top in their fields and backed by 35 years of Bruce experience and research in flooring and wood products.

The first cooperative forest in second growth Douglas fir has been established by agreement between the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co. and the Pacific Northwest forest and range experiment station. The tract is 20 miles southeast of Tacoma on land long since logged by the company. Second growth is now large enough to thin commercially. The agreement provides that the forest service will lay out plans for cuttings and analyze results.

"We want to work out the best methods to get maximum growth and value on a permanent basis," said Norman G. Jacobson, chief forester for the company.

The lease agreement anticipates a fuyear program of forest management research in growing methods, wood utilization, and costs and returns.

Discusses Plywood Situation

Lawrencs Ottinger, president of the United States plywood Corporation, states:

"Demand for plywood continues to exceed supply and the gray market still persists. Additional plants are being built, some of which lvill come into production early in 1948 and Some not until the end of the year. The total new produ,ction is not likely to expand present facilities by more than approximately l0/o.

"Basic prices at the mills have advanced considerably during the year due in part to higher prices for timber and labor.

"The extremely high prices demanded by distributors, Iegitimate and illegitimate, have had their efiect upon mill prices since rrianufacturers seem less inclined to hold their prices down if in so doing they are not benefiting the ultimate consumer.

"ff the anti-inflation bill recently signed by the president, r,vill permit the manulacturers as a group to limit resale markups, a sharp reduction in the price of lumber and plywood to the consumer is likelv to result.,,

\(/estern. Pine Production Breaks Record High Production Follows High Prices, ln 1947; Small Mills Responsible Hardwood Lumberman Testifies

Washington, D. C., !an' 12, 1948.-"Housing publicity has greatly exaggerated the efiect of present lumber prices upon housing costs," lumber manufacturer A. J. Glassow, Bend, Oregon, told members of the Joint Committee on Housing at an open hearing this morning. Mr. Glassow is vice president and general manager of the Bend division of Brooks-Scanlon, Incorporated.

Speaking for the 'Western Pine industry, Mr. Glassow pointed out that, despite all contrary publi'city, the average home requires less than 10 thousand board feet of lumber. "Any change in the cost of lumber would account for only a very small part of the difierence between present and prewar housing costs," he said.

Pointing to the all-time high in production established by the Western Pine region in 1947 as visual evidence that the industry is making every effort to supply the nation with the lumber it needs, Mr. Glassow presented statistics to illustrate the direct relationship between this high production and present high prices of lumber.

"substantial increases in lumber production are accomplished only when the number of productive units is increased. Such increase in productive units, and hence output is dependent upon rising prices," he asserted.

The statistical data contrasted the low production, low prices, and small number of mills in operations during the "thirties" with the 2400 mills which turned out six and three quarter billion board feet of western pine in 1947.

Mr. Glassow stated that artificial depression of prices under OPA stifled production once the win-the-war motive was gone, and created scarcities and a scramble for available supply

"The general level of housing costs cannot be expected to decline in any amount so long as this country's present wage levels are maintained, current labor efficiency continues and the government fiscal, export and home loan policies are unchanged," Mr. Glassow concluded.

Carl Bahr, manager of The Pacific Lumber Company's 'Chicago office, arrived in San Francisco January 15 to spend several weeks at the company's San Francisco office, and their plant at Scotia, Calif.

Washington, D.C., Jan. 12, L948 The Congressional Joint Committee on Housing heard testimony today on conditions in the hardwood lumber industry by lumber manufacturer John B. Veach, Washington, D.C., president of the Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers Association. Representing the small mills which account for the bulk of total production of hardwoods, Mr. Veach told the Committee that the number of these mills in operation has increased from 14,000 in 1938 to 45,000 in 1947. Production of hardwoods in 1947 broke all records since before World War I, he stated.

"It is historical in the lumber industry that a substantial increase in the price of lumber has always been followed by a startling increase in production," Mr. Veach stated. adding that whenever this production resulted in oversupply prices automatically dropped.

Terming present demands "inordinate," the sjokesman told the Committee that the industry has gone "all out and has spared no effort to meet the unanticipated situation." "Government control cannot increase the quantity of available lumber, either present or future. The history of such control demonstrates that it has the reverse effect of retarding and reducing production," he emphasized.

Mr. Veach called attention to the industry's long range program to provide adequate lumber at reasonable cost through improvements in plant and equipment, discovering neans of obtaining greater utilization of the log, and growing its own trees for tomorrow's use.

"It must be remembered that only through profits can American industry modernize and expand its plant structure. There is no other source for this vast sum except the industry's profit margin. The buying polver of the corporate dollar, or the small mill man's dollar shrunk in exactly the same proportion as the laborer's dollar and the farmer's dollar." he reminded the Committee.

Kenneth O'Rourke, Houston Sash & Door Co., Houston, Texas, and his wife, have returned from a vacation trip to Southern Califronia. While in Los Angeles Mr. O'Rourke paid a visit to the West Coast Screen Co., for which his firm is a Texas sales representative.

The Villqge Preccher

(From Goldsmith's "Deserted Village.")

At church, with meek and una,ffected grace, His looks adorned the venerable place; Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway, And fools, who came to scoff, remained to pray. The service past, around the pious man, With ready zeal each honest rustic ran; E'en children followed with endearing wile, And plucked his gown, to share the good man's smile. His ready smile a parent's joy expressed, Their welfare pleased him, and their cares distressed; To the,m his heart, his love, his griefs were given, But all his serious thought had rest in Heaven. As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale and midway leaves the storm, Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread' Eternal sunshine settles on its head.

GettingAnd Keeping In Tune

We may be poverty poor, or rich in this wodd's goods.

We may walk on crutches, or run in the glory of perfect health.

We may live in the flower garden of beautiful dreams, or in the thicket of stern reality.

We may have the daily companionship of the most beautiful rose in the Garden of Love, or tread the by-ways of life, alone.

We may ride the softened cushions of a Rolls-Royce, or travel the dusty roads on foot.

But it makes little difrerence if we KEEP OUR HEARTS IN TUNE WITH THE. INFINITE PLAN.

Plan for good, face today's problems with courage, and meet our fellowmen with the smile of happiness.

Yes, it takes backbone to do it, and sometimes the smile must work its way out through the tears.

But that's Service, and you know, "'Ife profits most who serves best."

The Only Wcy Out

A negro with a damaged head came into the doctor's office.

"Hello, Sam. Get cut up again?" ttYassuh."

"Why don't you stay out of bad company and then you won't get hurt so often?"

"Ah'd lak to," said Sam, "but Ah caint git nuff money togetheh to buy me a deevoce."

The Truly Poor Mqn

A man is poor when he gets out of tune with his environments, when his friends have lost confidence in him, when he has but dark pictures on the walls of his inner life, when his character is diseased and dishonest tricks of evasion dominate his heart and soul' He is indeed poor when he puts something over his friends at the expense of his character, when the Golden Rule ceases to direct his thoughts and his everyday actions. When a man's character is spotted by dirty tricks of his own conceiving, he is facing the most abject poverty. A man is not necessarily poor because he has little of this world's possessions. If he maintains his integrity, keeps his character unblemished and square to the world, he is not poor, even though hunger is staring him in the face and he has no place to lay his head.

C.E. lrving Elected President Of Lumberm€nrs Service Bureau

The first annual meeting of The Lumbermen's Service Bureau, since its reorganization last April, was held at The San Diego Club in San Diego on January 13.

Harry C. McGahe)', president, presided over the session which was attended by thirty-seven owners and managers representing the building material industry in San Diego County.

Mr. McGahey, M. M. Gartner, vice president, and C. E. Roberts, treasurer, presented their annual reports to the membership, as did the chairmen of the various coinmittees. In addition, Syd Smith, Mearl L. Baker and Ed R. Tweed were elected to the board of directors to replace retiring George V. Johnson, M. M. Gartner, and Rex Hall.

On January 20, the directors met and the following officers were elected for the 1948 term: C. E. Irving, president, Glen M. Miner, vice president, and Mearl L. Baker, treasurer,

At that time President Irving outlined a program of public relations and public education to better acquaint San Diegans with the building supply situation. The membership approved this program, and Glen M. Miner was appointed to serve ds chairman of the Public Relations Committee. Other committeemen appointed were Wm. S. Cowling, F. F. Evenson, Robert M. Griffin and Robert W. Reid.

In pointing out the need for an aggressive public relations program, President frving said, .,fn the past few years numerous conflicting reports and bits of misinforma_ tion have been received by the general public regarding the building supply situation in San Diego. The assump-tion is that housing problems of the nation as a whole ap- ply to San Diego. This is a mistake. Housing conditions and practices which exist elsewhere do not necessarilv prevail here in San Diego."

Weyerhaeuser Sales Co. Reducer Prices On House-Building ltems

St. Paul, Minn., January 15-The following announcement was made today by F. K. Weyerhaeuser, president, Weyerhaeuser Sales Company:

"We wish to do our part in reducing the cost of building and in checking the inflationary trends now threatening our national welfare.

"Due to the great demand for lumber arising from the wartime depletion of stocks and the postwar boom in home construction, lumber prices have risen sharply, but in about the same proportion as the prices of farm products.

"While the cost of lumber used in the average small house totals only about 20/o of. the cost of all materials and labor used, nevertheless the price of lumber affects total building costs.

"Since OPA controls were removed we have followed a very conservative policy in the pricing of our products right down to the present moment.

"In spite of our present price position we have determined to make price reductions on house-building items of Douglas fir, western hemlock, and coast red cedar lumber shipped from onr affiliated sawmills and going to the retail lumber trade. We will maintain these prices on such shipments for the next sixty days and longer if we believe conditions warrant.

"These reductions will average l0/o of the f.o.b. mill value. They will appear in our price quotations to retail customers and will also apply to orders now on file for these customers and shipped after this date."

Who's \(/asting What Waste?

By Robert E. Mahoffay, Public Relations West Coast Lumbermen's Association

The bloodthirsty fairy tales assembled by the Brothers Grimm probably have scared the daylights out of more people than have reports of lumbeiing "waste," but the margin is slim.

The "wastel' topic is coming up fast. It's a subject that professional deplorers beat like a drum. The lumber industry, according to the wails and lamentations of its critics,'"wastes" more of the tree than it converts into commercial products.

Whether these reports are true-or whether they should be lumped with the blood-curdling fantasies which made the Grimms famous-is a matter of prime importance to every man, woman and child in the Pacific Northwest. If the region's major natural resource is being tossed blithely into the garbage can, something should be done about it.

Perhapsjust perhapsthere is more mischief than merit in this talk about "waste".

To begin with, trees are a crop, like corn or potatoes or wheat. The chief difference ib ttrat a forest, given half a chance, will seed itself again after contributing the harvest, while the others will not.

In the case of these edible crops it is familiar practice to use only that part of the growth which can be profitably

disposed of. No one is upset when corn stalks are permitted to rot in the fields after yielding their food. No one goes about screaming "Waste !" at the top of his lungs because the vines of potatoes cannot be sold at a profit, and consequently are not harvested. Mountains of wheat straw are burned every year, with a notable absence of public indignation.

In this respect trees are in no wise different. No economic use has been found for the limbs, so they are left in the woods. Likewise the tops. Douglas fir needles exist in abundance, but their harvest would be as financially foolish as the collecting of empty pea pods from housewives' kitchens.

Only a few months ago vast quantities of potatoes were destroyed in Idaho and elsewhere because they could not be profitably marketed. Just recently an Oregon grange leader pointed out that Oregon peach growers mav find it economically unfgasible even to harvest their immediate crop. It would appear that no one has yet devised a means of eliminating such instances of waste without at the same time knocking our economic system out of kilter.

Sawmills are popular targets for those with an eye for

Who's \(/asting What \(/aste?

(Continued f.rom Page 24) "u.aste." Swivel chair experts will go after a sarvmill at the drop of a hat. They do it with the offhandedness of a small boy dragging a stick along a picket fence. If r,ve can get through the smoke, let's find out horv much fire there is behind this abuse.

The only recent comprehensive study of the situation was compiled by Sinclair A. Wilson, prominent Pacific Northwest forest economist. Wilson's report covers Oregon and Washington for the year 1944. Basic points of the report are applicable today.

Wilson's study provided estimates of the volumes of solid wood by-products, commonly called "waste", developed in the manufacture of lumber at primary sawmilling operations in Oregon and Washington.

Wilson classified types of by-produ'cts in the principal forms in which they are used and sold by the sarvmills. These are sarvdust, shavings, hogged wood, slabwood, edgings and shortwood. Sawdust and shavings are described as fine materials, and the other types as coarse materials.

Wilson discovered that an estimated 679,744,300 cubic feet of solid wood by-products, called "waste", rvere developed in the manufacture of about 10,570,000,000 board feet of lumber in primary sawmilling operations in the two states during 1944. The volume of sawdust and shavings (fine materials) was 360,207,600 cubic feet. The volums of all other by-products (coarse materials) rvas 319,536,700 cubic feet.

This is the material spoken of so glibly as "waste". It's the material left over after the lumber, for which the tree has been harvested, has been manufactured. Let's see what happens to it.

Of the solid wood by-products-the "waste"-developed in Oregon and Washington in 1944, 537,093,900 cubic feet or 79 per cent were used or sold by the sawmills for fuel. 16,683,000 cubic feet or 2.5 per cent were sold for pulp or other uses. Only 125,966,800 cubic feet or 18.5 per cent could not be used at all and had to be destroyed.

Sawmill critics, grasping at stralvs, find cause for complaint in the employment of these by-products as fuel. They describe it as inefficient and wasteful. The critics' contribution, however, is limited to throwing up their hands in horror. They offer no suggestion as to how this fuel wood is to be replaced, or by what, or into what other

markets the by-products can be profitably diverted.

Wilson. found that the great majority of mills develop their own power from sau'mill "waste". An estimated 276,500,200 cubi,c feet or 40.7 per cent of the total by-products developed were used as fuel by the sau'mills for the production of steam and electric power.

The mills used 236,917,900 cubic feet or 34.9 per cent of total by-products for developing their own power, and 39,582,300 cubic feet or 5.8 per cent of total by-products for developing power for others-power sold directly to consumers or to public utilities.

A further breakdown of this sale-of-por,ver item demonstates clearly the economic factor involved. Western Washington mills, for example, used 10.3 per cent of their by-products for this purpose, whereas Western Oregon mills u'ere able to use only 2.8 per cent.

(Continued ftom Page 26)

"The location of large sawmills near large power-consurning industries and centers in Western Washington," explained Wilson, "accounts for the relatively large proportion of power developed there for others."

About 2@,593,700 cubic feet or 38.3 per cent of their total by-products were sold by sawmills of the two states for domestic and industrial fuel purposes. Thousands of householders who have chosen to heat their homes with sarvdust burners are puzzled at the intimation that by so doing they have become forest devastators.

Sales for pulp amounted to 12,930,000 cubic feet or 1.9 per cent of total by-products developed. Principal deterrents to larger sales, according to Wilson, were distance from sawmill to pulpmill, costs of removing bark, and present limitations on economical conversion of Douglas fir and pines to pulp.

Sales for lath and other uses including pickets, handles and stock for furniture and toys amounted to about 3,753,60O cubic feet or 0.6 per cent of the total by-products developed.

Remaining was the volume of by-products for which no use at all could be found-125,966,800 cubic feet or 18.5 per cent of the by-products. Of this, a little more than one-fourth was sawdust, one-fifth was shavings, and one-half coarse materials.

Of this residue in the trvo states, Western Oregon sawmills accounted for 69 per cent, Western Washington mills i6 per cent, Eastern Oregon mills 12 per cent and Eastern \\/ashington mills 3 per cent.

"The most important factor affecting volume destroyed," Wilson reported, "was and is distance from source to market-the costs of getting sawdust, shavings and coarse materials away from the mill to the point of consumption. Volume destroyed increases with distance."

Wilson suggested that opportunities for decreasing the volume destroyed exist in the produ,ction of alcohol, fodder veast, charcoal, pulp, plastics, insulating board and interior-finish board.

Further light on this phase of the question is shed by H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

"No industry is more keenly interested in achieving full utilization of its raw material," Simpson said. "But it must be remembered that disposition of what is actually waste-a surprisingly small amount-is dependent upon economic factors.

"It is quite true that this waste residue contains elements of value. So do potato peelings and very low-grade ores rvhich at present are discarded. The trouble is that no one has found a way to turn these things into useful commodities without prohibitive expense.

"Insofar as forest waste is concerned, the United States Forest Service has been working steadily for many years to reduce it. Yet with all its manpower, experience and research facilities, the Forest Service has been able to provide no practicable solution.

"Progress, however, is being made. Witness the development of hydraulic log barking which saves up to 20 per cent of the pulp log, thereby increasing the productive

Redwood Operators Committee Reports On Strike

January 14, 1948 marks the second anniversary of the strike of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union against eight of the leading redwood companies of California. It is believed that this constitutes a record for the duration of a labor dispute for any major industry in the country. Reviewing the events oI the strike and its present status on the date of the second anniversary, the Redwood Operators Committee, representing the eight struck redwood manufacturing companies, has issued the follorving statement:

"Not all of the struck companies had contracts rvith the Union when the strike following the breakdown of preliminary negoiiations was called on January 14, 1946, but picket lines were thrown around the mills and woods of all eight members.

"Other smailer operations, engaged in manufacturing redwood lumber, were also struck at the same time. Some of these subsequently made terms with the Union and others are gtill operating non-union shops.

"Negotiations were continued after the calling of the strike, and all major issues were settled except the granting of the union shop. That is the only issue remaining unsettled.

"The strike has been accompanied by mass picketing, the stopping of rail trains engaged in interstate commerce, and considerable violence, particularly against some of the smaller companies. The mass picketing of trains was stopped by injunctions, and the arrest and conviction of a group of strike pickets in the superior 'court of Mendocino County, ended the violence.

"The last meeting between representatives of the struck companies and the Union took place in Mar,ch 1947. At that time the companies again refused to grant the demand of the Union for a union shop and there has been no resumption of negotiations since.

"The woods and mills of the struck companies remained closed for the frrst six months after the declaration of the strike. The companies continued negotiations, with practically every issue settled except the granting of the union shop. They then determined to resume operations.

"Many of the strikers had gone to work for other operators, both union and non-union, wl-rile still others had

found jobs in other lumber sections, both of this and other states. Horvever, a sufficient number of trained employees rvere available and returned to work. These were augmented by other workers new to the lumber industry, many of them recently returned veterans.

"Within a year all of the companies won their way back to normal operations, and today they are employing more rnen, operating more head rigs, and producing more lumber than they did before the strike was declared.

"As the personnel of the companies has increased, that of the picket lines both in the woods and at the mills has decreased. It is estimated that as of today there are betrveen fifty and seventy-five pickets available for the thin lines they still maintain. At some mills, frequently there are only trvo pickets on duty, .lvhile any one of the struck companies has only one in front of its mill. No one pays any attention to these picket lines, in many instances not even their fellow unionists.

"Since the passage of the Taft-Hartley Act neither the companies nor the striking union have any authority to negotiate a union shop. We know of no good reason why the token picket lines should be maintained and the union l.ras not disclosed any.

"In the meantime, we are operating under conditions indicating the utmost good relations between management and men in our woods and mills. This is a condition we intend to maintain.

"In recapitulation, the second anniversarv of the strike finds picket lines about our operations, if you look closely. But these picket lines do not interfere with our employment of more men with a greater output than before the strike was called, and finally, in an attempt to support a lost strike, a secondary boycott in violation of the TaftHartley Act still exists."

Terrible Twenty GolI Tourncment

The Terrible Twenty golf tournament \\.as held at San Gabriel Country Club, San Gabriel, Thursday afternoon, January 15, and was sponsored by George Gartz and Doug Douglas. Bob Osgood won the first lorv net prize, a sterling silver cocktail cup. Jim Goodhew and Doug Douglas were tied for the second lorv net prize, a sterling silver ash tray, and will play off the tie at the next tournament.

The next tournament rvill be held at the Lakeside Country Club, Hollywood, February 19. Sterling Stofle will be host.

capacity of our pulp forest by the same percentage. Witness the practical advancement in the manufacture of alcol,ol from wood waste. Witness the research, and very costly private research it was, which resulted in the developmnet of commercial bark produ,cts. These are only a few lines along which the prohlem is being attacked.

"The point is that there is no easy answer. There is no one 'new' outlet which can begin to absorb the byproducts of the industry. It is estimated, for example, that theh total wood by-products developed in Oregon and Washington in 1944 are the equivalent of 579,180,000 gallons of alcohol. This is vastly more industrial alcohol than is now consumed in the entire United States, and the estimate does not take into consideration the wood byproducts available in other lumber-producing areas of the country.

"These same by-products, it is estimated, would produce 2,413,250 tons of fodder yeast, plus an equal tonnage of lignin. This is a lot more fodder yeast and lignin than anyone knows what to do with."

Simpson went on to point out that more is involved than the mere discovery of new wood uses.

"Any inje,ction of wood as a raw material into new markets must be achieved on a competitive basis," he said. "Present manufacturers of products with which it will be forced to compete are by no means eager to assist in the reduction of wood waste by going out of business.

"It is physically possible, of course, to put every ounce and'scrape of wood 'waste' to some use. We could turn out enough axe handles so that droves of second generation W.P.A. workers would be kept busy breaking them. With a sufficient number of plants operating, we could wreck the alcohol market in a month or two. We could swamp the,country with fertilizer or fodded yeast or toys.

"Trouble is, who would pay for the privilege of doing any one of these things ? The value of the product would not be sufficient to return the cost of labor and equipment.

"Still, every efiort is being made to use wood by-products in the manufacture of established products as well as new products. While these can be counted on to contribute to fuller wood use, it is probable that any substantial improvement must come from a change in attitude toward lumber itself.

"After all, lumber is the primary product of the forests. Because of the volume involved, anything which reduces the loss or waste of lumber is of tremendous importance.

"There can be no denying that there is today waste in the use of lumber. In a great many cases we are using better lumber than the job requires.

' "This means waste in two ways. Full value is not received from the wood thus used. In the second place, many low and medium grade logs must be left in the woods because the consumer has not been made aware of the qualities of the lumber they will produce.

"Sooner or later we are going to realize the wisdom of proper lumber us€we are going to use lumber that is plenty good for the job, but not too good. When we do, waste will be substantially redgced in every phase of woods and mill operation."

Weyerhaeuser Sells Three Plywood Mills To Georgia Hardwood Lumber Co.

Tacoma, Wash., Jan. l7-Weyerhaeuser Timber Company sold its interest in the Washington Veneer Co. to the Georgia Haldwood Lumber Co., according to announcement made today by J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., president of Wayerhaeuser Timber Co. The transfer of stock affects two operating plants at Olympia, Wash., and one plant, an operating subsidiary of the Washington Veneer Co., known as the Springfield Plyrvood Corp., at Springfield, Oregon.

"In carrying out the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's whole crop utilization and integrated plant processing plans at our several branch operations, we have recently added modern plywood manufacturing facilities at Longview, Wash. Officers of the company felt that future embarrassments might arise through ensuing competition. They, therefore, recommended the sale of our interest in Washington Veneer Co. to a strong', ably managed competitor in whose control it appeared that the company could continue to prosper," stated J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., in his announcement.

Controlling interest in Washington Veneer Co. was acquired by Weyerhaeuser in 1940. During the intervening seven-year period, manufacturing facilities at Olympia were thoroughly re-arranged and modernized and the subsidiary plant at Springfield, Oregon was constructed and put into operation. This transformation has established Washington Veneer Co. as one of the leading manufacturers in the plywood field.

Georgia Hardwood Lumber Co., with home offices in Augusta, Ga., operates nine plants throughout the South and on the \\rest Coast. In May 1947, tbe company purchased the controlling interest in Bellingham Plywood Corporation of Bellingham, Wash., producers of Douglas Fir plyr,vood. The company's products consist of Southern and Appalachian hardwood lumber, Southern pine, treatecl lumber, poles, piling, veneers, hardwood plyu'ood and Douglas fir plyrvood. Owen R. Cheatham, president, made no immediate anr\ouncement of the operating plans fo: the newly acquired interests.
