Sierra Mill & Lumber Co, Opens New Office Building

The Sierra Mill & Lumber Company of Sacramento recently opened their fine new office building at the northwest corner of Third and V Streets. Covering approximately 4500 square feet it is so designed that every department can function at maximum efficiency.

The old office was located in one corner of the mill buildir-rg, space rvhich is now being used in the mill operations, rvith nTar-ry nerv modern r,voodr'vorking machines being installed.

The company lvas started as the Sacramento Cabinet in 1913 at 12th and North B Streets by Fred Gustafson, Stanley Moore and Henry Watson. Some time later Mr. Gustafson pnrchased the interests of Moore and Watson and in 1923 took in W. Henry Gilbert and Elliott McSwain ancl changed the name to Sierra Mill & Lumber Company.

It was in 1928 that'the firm moved to its present site r.vhich covers lf square blocks all under one roof. Mr. N[cSrvain sold his interests in 1929 to Mr. Gustafson and in 1939 Gustafson solcl a third interest to his son Stanley, rvho today manages the business. Mr. Gilbert and the senior Gustafsorl are in semi-retirement.

The Sierra Mill & Lumber Company today rates as one of the outstanding plants of its kind in Northern .California, 'ivith seventy employees on its payroll. They supply lumber yards in Northern California with all kinds of mill rvork, doors, window sash, etc. While particular emphasis is placed on the manufacturing end of the business, this firm also carries a complete stock of all kinds of lumber, and the new office is an indication of this firm's steady grorvth and its insistence on high quality workmanship.

SOUND I SIDE GOOD I SIDE SOTID I SIDE souND 2 STDES soUD 2 STDES

So wrote John Trumbull, an American lawyer and poet, over a hundred years ago. It was sound philosophy then. It remains the same today, and ever shall. I got thinking about that quotation as I read about some of the legal matters vital to business and industry that are before Congress today. Nothing in the world is of more vital interest to businessmen. What matters it what happens in Europe, if we lose out here at home?

The first thing that .""ir*lu ; -" was the truth of the Biblical saying that a lot depends on "whose ox is gored." It's really a laugh. All last year President Truman spent much time denouncing the Republican controlled 80th Congress as "the worst Congress in history." "Let's look at the record," as Al Smith, that distinguished American of a generation back used to t?. *

When that 80th Congress convened in January last year, Mr. Truman handed it 29 measures that he called "essential," and publicly declared that they could all be passed IN FIFTEEN DAYS. And when Congress failed to do so he blasted it, and kept on blasting it as "do-nothings."

This year he has a Democratic Congress eager to do his bidding. So, let us see what THIS Congress did in the way of legislation during the first fifteen days of the session. Here is the record. Only four bills came before Congress in those first fifteen days. One was a law increasing the salary and expense account of the President. Another was a bill giving Federal employes a four-day inaugural vacation covering the period of the Presidential inauguration. A third was a change in the Flouse rules that made the Speaker of the House practically a' dictator over legislation in the lower body of Congress. And fourth and last, they argued and killed a bill that would have exempted from the luxury tax the $20 tickets to the Inaugural Ball. That's all this Democratic Congress did in the first fifteen days. And nobody has cussed them for inertia. What a difierence it makes whether it is the Republican or the Democratic ox that is being gored !

There were those tr ;";.* who refused to let this strange change of sentiment pass unnoticed. Many amusing comments were made on the matters at hand. For instance Senator Kem, a mild, quiet, and well-liked member of the upper house, rose to call attention to rvhat had been done this first fifteen days of Congress, and what President

Truman had demanded be done during the first fifteen days last year. He did not argue. He merely pointed to the record. * >:. *

And when they argued the proposal to exempt from the luxury tax the twenty dollar a head tickets to attend the banquet and ball of the inauguration, there was very interesting discussion. Among the most pertinent remarks on this subject were those of Senator McCarthy, of Wisconsin. According to the Congressional Record, he said: "I am sure the mother who is obliged to stay at home applying oil to her baby's bottom does not feel that it is any luxury, and would never be able to understand why twenty dollar tickets to a dance could be considered in the category of a hecessitjr." Because, you recall, our Government collects a luxury tax on baby powders and oils.

And remember, during it"". lrst fifteen days the Congress was not offered a single one of tt.e 29 measures that the 80th Congress had been condemned for not passing in fifteen days. Seems they must have lost a lot of their importance since last January. Of course, some of them wer'e offered a bit later in the session, and are now being worked on and over. Of prime importance is the administration's suggested replacement of the Taft-Hartley Law, which Mr. Truman had denounced all over the land before elec' tion day last fall. As this is written it is far too early to predict what will befall this new proposed labor law. It was not explained to Congress until the last day of JanUafy. * {3 *

To start with, there are some interesting facts regarding the attitude of union labor toward this bill. Supposedly a "slavi labor law," and bitterly condemned on all occasions by the high union leadership, here is an interesting fact, as published in the press: When William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor, sent a questionnaire to all the rank and file of his affiliated unions asking for their moral support in attempting to kill the Taft-Hartley Law, he received replies from only one-third of one per cent of the membership. Seems like a lack of interest in the matter, worth mulling ot"..

The Administration legislation of the Taft-Hartley Law was written by the Labor Department and the White House labor experts in collaboration. The proposed law would do away with the Taft-Hartley Act, and substitute the old Wagner Act, with some modifications. All political authorities in Washington agree that the bill, as introduced, will have tough sledding. It is expected that there will be enough conservative Southern Democrats to assist the Re-

"No man e'er felt the halter dtaw, With good opinion of the law."

publibans in keeping some of the radicalism out of it. **

fndeed, many respected commentators in Washington are of the opinion that Mr. Truman would like to see a bill passed far less radical than the bill norv before the Congress. While he lambasted the Taft-Hartley Act all over the land before election, and was in duty bound to propose legislation in line with his expressed opinions, there is room for belief that he doesn't actually want the employer class kicked around and deprived of the rights given them in the Taft-Hartley Act. And it seems very doubtful that the new Congress, obedient though it seems to the Presidential wishes, ri'ill pass the law as it started out. The Wagner Act practically wiped out all the rights of employers before the law. Mr; Roosevelt knew that there are many times as nrrany employes as there are employers, so' in his drive for votes and poreer, he stomped on the employer throughout his administration; thus keeping the depression alive until the war came along to erase it.

Does Mr. Truman, ,hi,.l y:",;ursue that same philosophical road? There is much reason to doubt it. In the first place, he is no longer chasing votes. He is sitting in the driver's seat for four more years, and could well afford to at least give the employer some sort of fair deal. With the dual job on hand of fighting infation yet dodging possible deflation, he need not be a Solomon to understand that the men who meet the payrolls, and make the investments, and put and keep men at work, are very important people in this nation. If the new labor legislation were passed as handed to Congress, enployers would instantly become relatively unimportant folks in this land, with little incentive to "do unto others."

I believe that is why many intelligent commentators iay that Mr. Truman does not want the Taft-Hartley law repealed and thi old Wagner Act brought to life entirely. That certainly would be my opinion. We need business; and industry, and payrolls as we never needed them before, to furnish the enormous Governmental budget and supply the new taxes that are demanded. Can anyone be so shortsighted as not to understand that assaults upon business will do our economy great harm? I, personally, have not the slightest doubt, that restoration of the old Wagner Act would put thousands, yes, tens of thousands of business units on the sidelines "for the duration." Indeed, it would be difficult to understand the mentality of a business man who would deliberately enter business and risk his capital under such conditions.

I think Mr. Truman must understand this. He iaw what happened to the stock market the day after election, and the conditions that still prevail in investments. Our economy today, showing a general slackening in every direction, is in no position to undertake such hazards as would come from deliberately depressing the business elements of the nation. Can you doubt that?

The proposed labor law now before Congress would do away with the present ban against the closed shop, under

which workers must join a union to get a job; it would do away with the requirement that before a union shop can be agreed to, rtrorkers must vote for it in a legal election; would do away with the requirement for labor union leaders to take an oath they are not Communists; would do away with the present laws against mass picketing, refusal to bargain, featherbedding, and excessive union fees; would do avray with the Governmerit's right to prevent strikes by court injunction; would eliminate the right of employers to use free speech with their employes; would remove the right of employers to sue unions for damages; would ban the right of employes to ask for an election to do away with existing bargaining agents, would no longer require unions to file financial statements; it would continue to be unfair for' employers to agree to bargaln *ith a union; it would continue unfair for employers to fire emplcryes for union activities. ***

The new law would continue in force a few modified curbs on unions. Jurisdictional strikes would be banned, but the Government could file a court suit to stop a jurisdictional strike only after an arbitration board had found the union guilty. Two types of secondary boycotts would be eliminated under the nevr law. With regard to a national emergency, if the President finds that such an emergency exists he can issue a proclamation to that effect and call on the parties hot to stop work. Then a fact-finding board has thirty days to recommend a settlement; but after they have done so the settlement would not be binding' Liitle protection for the public is found in this provision. ***

Besides the above stated changes, the new law would forbid the passage of state laws banning closed shops. fnnumerable amendments to the proposed new labor law have already been filed. A battle grim and great is lining up. The fate of all business, all industry, and of private enterprise for the next four years is undoubtedly hanging in the balan'ce. Tom Paine's remark that "these are times that try men's souls" could well be repeated now. For who would care to make an investment or meet a payroll if the present proposed law should be passed?

The other day I heard " rJut" broadcast report that the black people of a West African village had become Christians, organized a church, and taken up a collection for missionary work after the manner of Christian churches; and, after much deliberation they decided to open their missionary branch IN CHICAGO, as being more in need of civilizing influences than any place they could think of' Maybe they had something there ! Looks like this whole country is badty in need of more enlightened thinking !

Newport, Oregon, Now One of Major Pacific Coast Ports

Newport, Oregon, is now one of the major Pacific Coast ports after recent ,completion of extensive dredging and channel clearance operations by the Corps of Army Engineers. Already this Yaquina Bay harbor is becoming impGrtant to the movement of Pacific Northwest lumber in inter-coastal, trans-Pacific ar-rd coastlvise trade.

Late last month (Jan. 25) the army transport Pontus H. lloss took on a lumber consignment for Korea, the first ship ever to call at Newport for a direct off-shore cargo. Earlier in January the Elmer A. Sperry of the Quaker Line loacled at Yaquina Bay for Atlantic Coast ports.

Both ships lifted lumber from the C. D. Tohnson Lum-

ber Corp. mill at Toledo, adjoining Yaquina Bay, one of the largest mills in the Northwest, according to lumber firm's Portland of,fice in the American Bank building.

In February the Calmar Line's freighter Portmar is scheduled to load 3,000,000 board feet of lumber for Atlantic Coast ports, according to E,rnest E. Johnson, vice presiclent in cl'rarge of company sales. Johnson said a ship r,r'ill call irr N{arch to lift lumber for Australia, two ships for the Atlantic Coast and one {or Korea.

"Opening of the Nervport harbbr to large ships gives Oregon one more port from which to ship its famous lumber direct to r.vorld ports," Johr-rson said. "Our firm is prepared to make full use of the improved facilities."

The Johnson firm's extensive timber holdings, principally old grorvth Douglas fir, are centered in Lincoln cottnty on the Oregon coast.

Wood Trusses Establish Record

7600 board feet of stress-grade sturdy Douglas fir, harvested on the St. Helens Tree Farm in eastern Cowlitz County and milled at Longview. Lumber rvas cut to pattern at the Longview plant from templates "lofted" by Hugh Wentworth, under the direction of foreman Nick Davis.

Packaged assemblies, consisting of pre-cut structural wood members, steel plates and hardware, were shipped to Tacoma for assembly on the construction site. Assembly required about one day for each of the trusses, rvhich are the biggest of .their kind ever to be raised in one complete unit.

Contractor Roy T. Earley regards this "first" itt conStruction accomplishments as a tribute to the precise workmanship that went into the prefabrication job. This careful work eliminated reboring of holes and on-site reacljustments in assemblies.

Tacoma, Wash., Jan. l5-Contractors, engineers and some architects said it was impossible. A roof truss 168 feet long couldn't be raised in one complete unit.

This "impossible" feat recently became a recorded accomplishment in Tacoma because architects Mock and Morrison had faith in versatile wood. Nine huge wood trusses, each 168 feet long and 23 feet high, were lifted bodily 60 feet from the ground and anchored as roof supports on a new building.

The new structure is the splendid memorial field house at Tacoma's College of Puget Sound, where athletic events can be viewed by 6500 spectators without the obstruction of a single vertical support. The trussed roof section of this reinforced concrete building, which is 168 feet wide and 200 feet long, carries 90,000 board feet of roof decking.

Designated as a Monocord truss and prefabricated by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company at its Longview, Washington branch operation, each truss contains about

A traveling crane with a 7\-foot boom required about 3O minutes to raise each truss from the ground, "walk" the total t3l ton deadlift assembly 200 feet into the inside of the building, and spot the truss accurately in place on bolts positioned in the two 60-foot high wall sections. It took cat-sure movement by the skilled crane operator to rvalk his poised load into proper position, but the entire operation was "so simple there u'as nothing to it," according to contractor Earley.

Earley's iesourceful crew worked out a special technique ' for hoisting the super-sized trusses. A temporary cable was tied securely along the curved upper portion of the truss and anchored in place at each end of the truss base. Rigging fastened to tl,e hook was arranged to distribute the load evenly over the entire truss through this cable 'system. An 80' telephone pole lashed to framing members at the crown of the truss served as a stiffener lvhen the dead weight of the truss ends was suspended from the crane hook.

The new field house, expected to be ready for use in February, will be a valuable asset in staging special athletic events under the protection of a single roof, rain or shine.

Outlines Plans for Economy Housing Program Raught Retires As Manager

Every possible facitity wilt be available in the Los Angeles office of the Federal Housing Administration to carry out the "Economy Housing Program" announced in Washington by Raymond M. Foley, Housing and Home Finance Administrator, and Franklin D. Richards, Commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration, District Director John E. McGovern announced..

"The first step in the program," Mr. McGovern said, "wil[ be the organization of an advisory committee in each of the key cities where meetings are to be held. Composition of these advisory committees in every case and particularly in Los Angeles will be as representative as possible of all groups having a direct interest in the production of housing. These groups will include city officials, members of local Chambers of Commerce, builders, materials suppliers, realtors, architects, financing institutions, labor representatives, and local representatives oI federal governmental agencies."

"The first of such meetings will be held February 15 in Los Angeles and'followup meetings will be held in other cities as soon as possible aTter the key meeting has been concluded.

"Each industry meeting will have the fullest possible direct participation of representatives of local industry, Government, labor, and finance," Mr. McGovern said. "For exarnple, local home builders, realtors, and materials suppliers will be requested to discuss at the meeting, their olvn plans for producing good housing in the lower price

Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 6-Retirement of A. L. Raught, Jr., after 42 years of service with Weyerhaeuser Timber Company and affiliate companies was announced today by C. H. Ingram, general manager of Weyerhaeuser at Tacoma. Raught has been assistant manager of the firm at Tacoma since April, 1939.

Raught, whose varied experience includes both logging and lumber manufacturing activities, has been intimately associated with the development of industrial forestry in the Douglas fir region. He started his career in 1906, with the Ciark County Timber Company in southwestern Washington, a Weyerhaeuser afifiliate.

The Kid \(/as a Salesman

The mother of a four year old boy had tried in vain to break him of the habit of sucking his thumb. She tried all the advice of'neighbors and the recipes of friends, and all to no avail. He just wouldn't go to sleep without that thumb in his mouth. So, one night, her patience at an end, she turned the job over to her husband to see what he could do. He said:

"Al1 right, I'll cure him. He's a reasonable little kid, and I know I can talk him out of it. I'll put him to bed tonight, and show you how it can be done."

Hamrnond Employs Army ol People

The Hammond Lunrber Company enrploys 2071 people throughout its various properties in California according to latest figures as published in the "Rethvood Log." Of this number 312 employes have been rvith the conrpany for fifteen or nrore years.

So she got the little fellow ready for bed, and the father and son retired to the boy's bedroom and shut the door. The listening mother heard much conversation. A lively dialogue went on for some time, with the two voices showing enthusiastic argument. Finally the voices died down; then all sound ceased. The mother waited a few minutes, and, hearing nothing, she peeked in. Father and son.were both on the bed asleep.

AND BOTH OF THEM WERE SUCKING THEIR THUMBS.

Executes Operatin g-Diff erenti al Subsidy Contract With U.S. Maritime Commission

George A. Pope Jr., president of Pope & Talbot, Inc., announced today that their wholly-owned West Coast subsidiary, the Pacific Argentine Brazll Line has officially executed an operating-differential subsidy contract with the U. S. Maritime Commission for their vessels operating in the route, covering Pacific Coast ports to the East Coast ports of South America. The first vessel sailing in this service under the subsidy will be the P&T Pathfinder, which will commence loading at Vancouver, British Columbia, on February 4. The P. A. B. Line route extends from Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, thence through the Panama Canal to ports along the East Coast of South America, as far south as Buenos Aires.

Mr. Pope feels that this subsidy contract is a victory not only for his company but for Pacific Coast shippers and business interests, as it was largely through their support that the merits of the Pacific Argentine Line were established.

The Pacific Argentine Brazil Line is the pioneer operator on this route, originally established in 1926 by the parent company, Pope & Talbot, Inc., and is a big carrier of Western products to South American countries.

Pope & Talbot was established in San Francisco in 1849 and has been engaged in seafaring enterprises ever since. The company has large financial resources and substantial business interests throughout the West Coast, in Los Angeles, San F'rancisco, Portland and Seattle.

How Hammond Switched from Railroad Roddiscraft, Inc. Appointed To Truck Log Hauling A Formica Distributor

A recent issue of "Redwood Log," a little magazine published at Samoa, California, by and for the employes of the Redwood Division of the Hammond Lumber Company, tells an interesting story concerning the manner in which Hammond has switched from rail to truck hauling of logs to the Samoa sawmill.

Only a few years back this company logged and hauled to the mill by railroad, more than one hundred million feet of logs a year. The main line railroad was 25 miles long, and to the far reaches of the lumber camps there was 80 miles of railroad track. The hauling rvas done by a whole battery of powerful switch engines, and six train crews were busy 24 hours every day bringing in the logs.

Then came the tremendous fire of 1945 which swept that area, and it changed the Hammond log hauling operation completely. The fire rviped oat 23 log road bridges, several of them very large and expensive ones. Immediately the company decided to switch to trucks for all but the nrain line haul. They put truck roads into the timber as fast as humanly possible, and installed 15 great Mack trucks with ten and twelve foot bunks and 200 horsepower Diesel motors, that brought in tr,vo or three carloads of logs every trip. These .trucks picked up the logs in the woods and brought them to the main line railroad. They reached back into the farthest corners of the Hammoncl logging area.

Roddis Plywood Corporation of Marshfield, Wis., anrlounces the appointment of their San Francisco lvarehouse, Roddiscraft, Inc., 345 Williams Street, as a distributor of Formica in Northern California, Oregon and Washington. This product is distributed through all of Roddis Plyrvoocl Corporation's eastern warehouses.

Ed Halligan, manager of the San Francisco warehouse, feels confident that this addition to their line of products r,vill enable them to render a more complete service to the dealer. "This has been proved to us by the distribution of Formica by our eastern branches, and we cordially invite inquiries and orders for this material from dealers," Mr. Halligan said.

First, they brought the logs to Patrick's Point, then the eld of the main line. Then they extended the truck haul to Crannell, which is just 17 miles from the mill. The logs are re-loaded from truck to car at this point, and trainhauled to the mill. The netrn'ork of truck hauls now covers all the logging area in much better fashion than was ever done by branch logging railroads, and the truck mileage is increasing constantly, as the railroad haul gets shorter. The log supply is now more certain than ever before in Samoa history, and from every viewpoint the nerv method is preferable to the old.

Aesop's Wisdom

"A husbandman who had a quarrelsome family, after having tried in vain to reconcile them by words, thought he might more readily prevail by an example. So he called his sons and bade them lay a bundle of sticks before him. Then having tied them up into a fagot he told the lads, one after another, to take it up and break it. They all tried' but tried in vain. Then, untying the fagot, he gave them the sticks to break, one by one. This they did with the greatest ease. Then said the father: "Thus, my sons, as long as you remain united, you are a match for all your enemies; but differ and separate, and you arb undone."

Why, Doctor!

An eminent surgeon attended the unveiling of a bust of himself at a Southern University. After the ceremony a beautiful young woman approached him and said:

"Doctah, Ah hope youall appreciates the fact that Ahv'e come fifty miles in a station wagon to see youah bust unveiled."

And the gallant old doctor rePlied:

"Madam, I would gladly return the compliment."

Wcshingrton's Executors

The last will and testament of George Washington was 25 pages long, and he appointed his wife and six others as his executors. He said he appointed so many executors so as to be sure enough of them would survive to carry out his will and wishes.

A Very Vcgue Boost

Very frequently a man is asked to write a letter of recommendation for some man for whom he has no very high opinion, and often it places him in an embarassing position. He does not wish to offend the fellow, yet hates to write like a hypocrite. Tom Dreier suggests that in such a case you use a letter like this one:

"Dear Sir: When you come to know Mr. Jones as I knorv him, you will appreciate him as I do."

FcrctorY PhilosoPhY

Thomas Nelson Page wrote: "A great factory with the machinery all working and revolving with absolute and rhythmic regularity and with the men all driven by one impulse and working in unison as though a constituted part of the mighty machine, is one of the most inspiring examples of directed force that the world knows' I have rarely seen the face of a mechanic in the act of creation which was not. fine, never one that was not earnest and impressive."

They Do Not DeePlY Mourn

By H. J. Higdtrn

They do not deeply mourn when old men die, Tho they may come with laurel wreaths and palms To strew on sodden mounds of earth, or psalms And prayers to offer to a sullen skY.

They do not deeply grieve, tho they extend Their limp, moist hands, and mouth belated praise, Or sigh o'er (what they term) misguided ways, Rembered still alike by foe and friend.

They do not deeply feel, they merely think "Oh, well, it was his turn; I wonder who That little trick is, standing by the yew? Or, gosh ! I wish I had another drink."

Whct Belongs To You

"Be lovable without being too demanding. You'll get what belongs to you. Nothing can keep that from you. No one can take from you that which is really yours. Hold to that belief. Oftentimes the love you want you'll get by indirection-not by reaching directly for it, but by the attractive poveer of something within you."-Thomas Dreier.

The music teacher was proudly presenting her pupils in recital. After the long program, ice cream' cake, and fruit were served. One of the young musicians had a younger brother along as guest. As the youngster was leaving, the teacher smiled at him, and asked:

"Well, Willie, did you enjoy the recital?"

And little Willie grinned, and answered:

"I sure did; that is-all but the music."

Curtis Woodwork Advertising lncreased for 1949

Curtis Companies Tncorporated, manufacturers of Curtis Woodwork and the well-known Silentite Window line, has announced a greatly enlarged advertising and sales promotion campaign for 1949.

Curtis was one of the first building material manufacturers to launch into national advertising, starting back in 1916, rvhen the advertising of building products on a national scale was pretty much of an innovation. With the exception of a few depression years, Curtis Woodwork has been advertised nationally since that time.

In commenting on the enlarged Curtis campaign for Ig49, H. H. Hobart, Vice President in charge of sales and advertising, stated:

"We feel 1949 will be a year'of selling rather than ordertaking. We are gearing our sales organization along that line. Curtis advertising is being increased in all channels -consumer, contractor, architect and dealer. We are using larger space in the big consumer magazines in the home field and our schedule will cover more months than in any year since before the war. We are reaching new fields also by using magazines going into the small town and farm markets. Our men will be equipped with a sales portfolio which will illustrate our 1949 campaign and explain to our dealers how they may use Curtis advertising to their own direct benefit."
