A for Helping Hand the VET. . . not a hand-out

Many a good street car motorman has been spoiled by trying to be a salesman. Being handy with a hay fork doesn't make an agriculturist out of a farm hand. Yet, the world needs every kind of worker; and the best and happiest are those who have found their rightful sphere of endeavor.

Right now, the problern of fitting himself into the world of business, industry or agriculture is a pretty serious one for a lot of our young men. They did not question the right of the nation to change their way of life for several years. They were given strange jobs to do . . and proved themselves fully capable, as the world well knows. Fitting themselves into the pattern of civilian life is their next goal and it's not an easy task.

Even in normal times, finding one's place in the world has difiEculties. The young man trying to find his place today is understandably overanxious to make up for time lost.

Adjustment is no more the veteran's problem tha:r it is ours. Your community is also theirs. Your prosperity is that of the community, and men are the most valuable asset any community can possess. It won't do to mistake the signs, or pass the young man's problems ofr as of no concern to yolr. But, it would be just as bad to think they are looking for a "hand out," rvhen it's a helping hand that's needed.

Be a leader in your community-and give a little extra attention to the young veteran and his problems.

Pioneers In Communlty Bu:lding

Capt. Wiltiam C. Talbot sailed from East Machias, Maine, in his brig, the Oriental, around Cape Horn with a cargo of lumber for California in October 1849. and upon arrival he sold his cargo at Sacramento for use in the mines. He then sailed to the Pacific Northwest and in 1853 established the first Pope & Talbot sawmill at Port Gamble on Puget Sound.

Are Cotton Pickers Independent Contractors ?

In high court decisions, sometimes there 'creep in thoughts and rvords far apart lrom ordinary legal. parlance. In the State of Mississippi certain employers, seek' ing a way out of labor law entanglements, attempted to prove that a Negro woman n"-id Teresa was an independent contractor, and not an employee. In its opinion in the matter, the Supreme Court of Mississippi incorporated into that rvriting the following protest made by the attorneys for the appellant, and stated its apprgval of the sentiments expressed:

"King Solomon with all his wisdom has been discredited, for certainlv here is something new under the sun-Negro cotton pickers who are independent contractors ! Shades of Uncle Remus, Bre'r Rabbit, 4nd the Tar Baby ! Songs of laughter, beloved of the poet and author, floating over the domain of the army worm and the empire of the boll weevil are no longer the songs of the tenants and the laughter of the servants, but the melodious voices of independent contractors ! So perishes a glamourous and beautiful tradition; and so pass incomparable legends. \Mhen, in our youth rve sat upon the knees of Uncle Remus and Old Reliable, entranced in their folk lore tales, we ll'ere listening to independent contractors ! So fades the world's illusions ! The song of the black mammy: 'I got wings, you got wings, all God's chillun got wings,' has passed into oblivion, for the voice of Teresa rises with a new libretto to an ancient score: 'I got a sack, you got'a sack, all itrdependent contractors got sacks,'"

\(/estern Pine Astociation Charges For Reinspectione

Porland, Ore., March 6-The Western Pine Association announced, effectivg March 1, a revised schedule of charges for reinspecting, certifying or grade marking lumber produced in'the lVestern Pine region. This overdue revision of charges is the first in more than ten years.

Reinspections are made for a flat rate of $25 a day for the time required, regardless of location. The'Association absorbes the cost of transportation and hotel expenses, in order to make this service available at reasonable cost in any case rvhere there is a dispute regarding the grade or tally of a shipment.

Charges for certification or grade marking, which ordinarily are performed at the mills, are set at $25 plus necessary transportation and hotel expense.

All charges are the same to everyone, lvhether stock originates at a member or at A non-member mill.

Private Enterprise is rapidly returning to this land that for twelve long years knew it not. Little Willic can now recite "This little pig went to market," without looking cautiously around to make sure that the great killer of little pigs and anti.private-enterpriser, Henry Wallace, is not listening.

Lew Douglas has just been made Ambassador to London. He was one of the few men of experience and ability who was part of the early New Deal. He quit and walked out on his personal friend, FDR, because' the spending, the waste, the philosophy of debt-doesn't-count-because-we owe-it-to-ourselves, and all the other financial and economic policies were abhorrent to him. And now he comes back in a bigger job. Yes, things are changing.

{3**

Mr. Douglas refused to admit that every simple and economical thing in government should be done in the most complicated, difficult, and expensive fashion. So, like John Hanes, another man of ability of that sarne era, he "took a walk." Hanes never came*O"iO

Things have changed in other ways. For many years in this land of ours, Republican was a word never used in the presence of children. Today, so they say in Washington, Democrats are asked to pay in advance for all purchases. On account * ,1"O*""jertain future, you know?

Another important change. Herbert Hoover, a man of great ability and integrity and specially trained in the feeding of nations, was not only brushed ofr by the New Ded; he was snubbed, and ignored throughout the war, while many impotent mountebanks and phonies held places of power. Today Mr. Truman is using the great ability of,Mr. Hoover, and allowing him to serve his. country in high capacity. With every day that passes Mr. Truman gets

fartler away from New Dealism. I can't help liking the man. If I could forget his political origin long enough, I might find myself cheering for him. **t

And another mighty change t The Supreme Court has decided that the most powerful thing in this country is the Government at Washington, and not a certain bushybrowed labor leader who for a whole decade continually threatened our well-being, and won every battle against the Government. You may have a vivid imagination but you couldn't possibly conjure up a picture of the Supreme Court of the late thirties rendering such a decision. The Court has decided that this Government HAS a right to defend our citizenship against deliberately-planned disaster. Let us be grateful for so drastic a change.

Speaking of financial matters, Minnie the Moron says that it may be true that money is the root of atl evil but she never found herself in any jam that a lot of money made any worse.

And Jimmy Durante, my favorite comic, says that it may be true as they say, that money won't buy happiness, but it will buy a whole lot of the particular type of misery that he enjoys the most.

The best advertising slogan that has come to our attention of late, was a placard on the side of a baby laundry wagon that read: 'ROCK A DRY BABY."

And the champion brush-o'ff for a guy trying to get a loan from a friend is: "Sorry, but I can't loan you. All my money is tied up in cash." *

A man had been warned against a certain glad-handler. So when this fellow gave him the rush and stuck out his hand saying-"Jones is my nane; I'm a friend of Bill Smith" he forgot to notice the outstretched hand, looked down his nose at the other and coldly replied: "Any friend of Bill Smith, is a friend of Bill Smith."

In England, where there are a tremendous number of war babies, born out of wedlock, they are preparing a law to give such unfortunates a title of legitimacy. Bringing to mind the fine philosophy of Judge Leon Yankwich, who said: "There are no illegitimate children; only illegitimate parents."

Lumbermen Ait Labor Views Before Senate Committee

Washington, March 4, 1947-300 million board feet of badly needed lumber was not produced in 1946 due to a still unsettled strike in the redwood industry, members of the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare were informed today by Fentress Hill, of the Northern Redwood Lumber Company, San Francisco, California. Mr. Hill, in outlining the circumstances surrounding the fourteen month old strike in the Califomia redrvood industry, stressed that the strike, involving more than 4,000 rvorkers and a large percentage of the total production of redwood lumber, had been called over the single issue of the Union Shop.

'

"May I make it clear at the outset that this strike rvas not caused by any attempt or desire, on the part of the companies I represent, to break the Union or to avoid collective bargaining," Mr. Hill told the Committee. "On the contrary, all but one of these companies were already operating under contracts with the Union when the strike was called, and there were no disputes that could not.fiave been readily adjusted, excepting the Union leaders' demand for a lJnion shop in lieu of the maintenance of membership clause under which they had been operating."

After a complete shut-down of the mills for a six-month period during which all operator proposals were rejected by union representatives, mills were re-opened behind picket lines. Mr. Hill cited many acts of violence on the part of the union members to halt production in the reopened mills, and to force Union shop contracts on smaller mills. Trains hauling carloads of "hot" lumbdr were stopped by pickets for days at a time. At one time, 60 miles of freight cars, many carrying perishables, were backed up on side tracks as a result of striker intervention. Hundreds of miles from the scene of the strike, lumber yards and housing projects handling and using redwood lumber are being picketed.

Terming the Nation-wide scope of the lJnion's action a ."sinister force" which, if continued with Government acquiescence, would render all industrial property in the United States valueless, Mr. Hill asked that Federal laws be revised to equalizg the rights of employers and nonunion workers lvith those of organized labor.

"This alone would remove much of the present incentive to labor leaders to foment strikes." Mr. Hill testified.

"I am profoundly convinced that just so long as ambitious union leaders have it within their power to enforce compulsory union membership as a condition of employment, by methods now being ernployed, managementlabor relations r,r'ill continue to deteriorate," Mr. Hill concluded.

N{r. Hill's testimony rvas followed by statements of representatives of the tu'o principal west coast lumber producing regions-George Beardmore, representing the Western Pine Lumber Industry, and A. L. Raught, Jr., of the Douglas fir region.

The testimony presented a composite picture of labor relations in the great lumber producing areas of the west and northwest.

NIr. Beardmore, appearing for the Western Pine Industry u'hich produces 24 percent of the Nation's entire softu,ood lumber production, labelled the labor problem in this industry "a Wagner Act problem created by tliat Act and the National Labor Relations Board policies which give labor unfair advantages over an employer, both in organizing and in bargaining. We have seen a demonstration in this country where the 'right' to strike has been carried to the extreme. Instead of a 'right,' it has become an oppression,"

A. L. Raught, Jr., representing the Douglas Fir industry, entered a recommendation for legislation designed "to remove special privileges from labor unions and restore certain freedoms denied management under the Wagner Act." Mr. Raught stressed that "in spite of the tense situation created by double union jurisdiction in our industries, and the periodic races betlveen them to see which union can get the most from employers" his industry was not looking for punitive or "anti-labor" legislation from Congress.

"We do feel strongly, horvever," he said, "that the time has come to remove the special benefits and privileges accorded to labor unions under the protective legislation passed by Congress in the early thirties, and that some of the shackles placed upon employers by federal statutes are due for removal in the public interest'"

Her Wcry oI Grieving

. Don Blanding tells a story about a back-country woman in Florida who was hoeing one day out in front of her weather-beaten house. A neighbor stopped and leaned on the fence. "Effie May," she said, "it ain't fitten for you to be hoein' out here today when the whole town knows that you just had a letter from the government sayin' that your son Jim is layin' out in one of them furrin heathen lands, dead. It just ain't fitten."

Effie May rested her hoe, and looked at her neighbor with bleak, level eyes. "Friend," she said, "I know you mean well, but you just don't understand. This is Jim's l,and, and it just delighted his heart to see green things growin' on it because it meant that his maw and the young uns would be eatiri'. This is his hoe, and when I'm hoein' I can almost feel his big strong hands under mine and hear his voice, sayrin'-'That's good, Maw, that's good.' I can't afford a stone monument for Jim. \fi/orkin', not weepin', is the only headstone I can give him. So, if you don't mind, neighbor, I'll do my'grievin' my own way."

The Soft Answer

Old Jim Bidwell, a California pioneer, married a squaw. She died after forty years of married life with Jim, and he went East and married a school teacher, and brought her back to his home.

Of course some of the kindly ladies of the neighborhood soon dropped in to leave their barbs in the new wife. One of them said:

"Of course, Mrs. Bidwell, you must know that your husband's first wife was a squaw."

"So I've heard," said the new bride, and added, "and judging from the white women I've seen around here, I don't blame him."

WESTERN PTNE SUPPLT. COVTEANY

Stop, Look and Listen

S. V. Fullaway, tr., Secretary-Manager, Vestern Pine Ascociation

Annual Meeting, San Francirco, February 28, 1947

Most business men undoubtedly sense that they are today operating in what might be termed an animated economic atmosphere. There exists a feeling of buoyancy. Demand is at peak levels. Prices are up. Profits are satisfactory despite high costs. Nevertheless, when there is time in these busy days for reflection, a majority of those responsible for management must experience some misgivings. There is probably doubt as to the basic soundness of the present situation. There is probably uncertainty about the future.

A sane analysis of current conditions should not inspire hysteria. Rather it should bring an awareness of possible later difficulties and a resolution to minimize these by the adoption now of intelligent policies and practices designed to build for the future.

Our particular interest is the Western Pine industry. It has just passed through six years of very abnormal economic conditions. For the first time in a decade, there was a good lumber demand in 1940. This was accelerated during 1941 Then came the War, OPA, and federal control of practically all pl,ases of the lumber business. The laws of supply and demand were replaced by a regulated economy.

Lumber demand continued to expand but the producer had lost the control of his business. Federal dictation, rather than collective bargaining, governed wages and other labor relations. Because of this, management has little or no control of costs. Unrealistic OPA policy and administration upset normal price relationships, retarded pro-

duction, and completely disrupted the usual methods of distribution. The resultant situation was not improved by the few who, in any industry, are willing to turn such an opportunity to their own temporary self interest.

Such were the background conditions when the'War ended and when later price and wage controls were finally abandoned. It was such conditions and the continued abnormal lumber demand which have operated against full use by the industry of the present opportuqity to return to a sound basis of doing business. There has not existed the actual necessity which would compel the reduction of costs, the improvement of product quality, the re-establishment of logical distribution channels, the building of customer goodwill, and the promotion of wider public acceptance of the product. Necessity is the incentive required to bring lW/o efr.ort by any industry in a program of this kind. Failure to do these things invites, as an immediate effect, customer resistance and reduction in demand and, as an ultimate efiect, permanent loss of markets to other products.

It should be stated for the record that, under the conditions resulting from the 'War, from artificial control$ and from the unprecedented lumber demand, the Western. Pine industry, as a whole, has turned in a remarkable performance. It has produced a tremendous volume of needed lumber under most severe handicaps. It has continued in large measure to ship a quality product despite the very real temptations of sellers market. It has attempted to take care of its regular customers. It has not lost sight of the future but has maintained real interest in forest conservation, in research, and in trade promotion.

However, there are obviously some wounds to heal; some fences to mend. No matter what the arguments, lumber prices must be r,rrithin reason. For the best interest of the industry in the future, more attention can be given to the quality of the product. There should be more deliberate efiorts to cultivate customer good will. Sound methods of distribution should be developed for the years ahead' (Continued on Page 24)

Stop, Look and Listen

(Continued from Page 22)

Greater.. €mphasis upon forest conservation, research, and trade promotion is needed.

At the annual meeting a year ago, I pointed out the factors which appear to indicate a bright, long-term outlook for the lumber industry. These were the prospective defnand, the probable level of production, and the lack of distress stumpage. But the basic soundness of the situation should not lull us into complacency. IJnreasonable prices, a poor product, loss of distribution facilities and customef ill-will could drive more business to competitive products than can all the aggressive promotion efforts in their behalf.

There is no reason to diScuss in detail most of those things which our industry must do to maintain its economic health. Th'eir need and hcrw to accomplish them should be readily apparent to you. The moisture content of our lumber should, hgwever, be given some real thought.

The Western Pine industry for many years has enjoyed an enviable reputation as to the shipping of a properly seasoned product. In fact, as a region, it has undoubtedly done the best job of seasoning in the entire lumber indus,try. It is true that our associated species-Douglas fir, ,larch and white fir-have to some extent been shipped green into certain markets. Prior to the 'War, our production of these woods was proportionirtely small, their chief 'competition was a green.product, ancl the profit margin :was-.uncertain.

,.The War created a large volume of demand for uses wftictr could take green lumber. Also, the need for lumber ,yas at times so urgent that green lumber was specified fi,vhere dry stock actually should have been required. These ,incentives to ship green lumber were given impetus by the lSnanpower shortage. This in many cases precluded the pilftng of lumber for air seasoning and would have resulted [n actual loss of production unless the product was shipped [rnseasoned.

i Although practically all western pine lumber is now :seasoned before shipment, a very substantial volume of our Douglas fir, larch and white fir is still being shipped green. The continued heavy lumber demand has prevented a normal buyer's resistance to such a product. The urgency of the need sgmetimes neeans the time required for season-

ing cannot be lost. In other lvords, the buyer will accept greenlumberandsotherriillscontinuetoshipit.

' The necessity and desirability of shipping only thoroughly seasoned pine needs no emphasis. The excellent public acceptarice of the Western Pines has in no small measure been the result of that qu4lity. There never has been the same incentive in the case of our other woods. These do rtot stain and their principal competitois are shipped green. But these woods, like the competitive woods, do shrink and check and warp and twist. Therefore their quality can he improved by seasoning.

The 'Western Pine region has great reserve stands of these species. During the past ten years the production of these woods in our region has increased threefold, from around 500 million tci about ll billion. Although this increase has been due in a large part to the abnormal demand for lumber, the stumpage backlog means that these species will continue to make up a substantial part of the regional cut. If these woods are to be so established with the trade that a market can be retained for them when there is again real competition-and these will always be subject to more intense competition than the pines-these must be graded as accurately as the pines, manufac,tured as carefully, and of greatest importance seasoned as thoroughly. Only in this way will these'woods have the utility and adaptability which will give them a competitive advantage rvhen supply again equals or exceeds demand. :

The Western Pine industry should Stop, Look, and Listen. It should take stock of its p'resent practices: and methods. Judgment on these should be based, not on what one can get away rvith now but, on how these,arg. buildins for the future.

Orders L-358 and L-359 Have Been Revoked, Elbctive March 31

Washington, D. C., Feb. 28-All pro.duction controls on lumber, millwork, hardwood flooring and softwood plywood will be removed March 31 by revocation of limitation orders L-358 and L-359, the Civilian Proddction Administration announced today.

However, because oi millwork shortages, certain restrictions on deliveries of Douglar fir and Western pine shop lumber will be retained, CPA said. These are contained in a new Veterans' Housing Program Order 5, to become effective April 1, which will require sawmills and distributors to deliver 85 per cent of their production or receipts in any quarter ol 8/4" and thinner Douglas fir and Western pine shop lumber, including No. 3 clears, to millwork, cut-stock manufacturers or persons who certify in writing that they will deliver to these.

CPA pointed out that, revocation of orders L-358 and L-359 notwithstanding, producers and distributors will remain subject to other applicable regulations, such as Priorities Regulation 1 and 3, the basic orders which cover use and acceptance of ratings, and Priorities Regulation 33. Reports required by orders L-358 and L-359 must be made for the month of March.

Schedule A of PR-33 will be amended April 1 to include housing construction lumber, millwork, hardwood flooring and softwood plywood (construction grades) in the list of building materials controlled by the regulation, and Schedule B will be extended to provide ceilings on the acceptance of rated orders for these items. Also to be amended in Schedule B is the definition of distributors. Beginning April 1, both manufacturers and wholesale and retail distributors of these lumber items rvill be included iie this category.

The amendment of S-chedule B also will provide that HH and HHH ratings for these products are not extendible after March 31, and that the seller, either manufacturer or wholesale or retail distributor, need not accept rated orders in any quarter for more than the following percentages of production or receipts:

Housing construction lumber & construction plywood, 50/o Hardwood flooring (all grades) and millwork.... -...75%

Shop lumber .' ..-85%

Although HH ratings are not extendible after March 31,

any ratings which were .applied or ertended before that date must be honored, CPA said.

The new definition of distributors and the ceilings on acceptance of HH ratings provided in the amendments to Schedules A and B of PR-33 will apply, beginning April 1, to all manufacturers and wholesale and retail distributors of these items who received rated orders directly from the ultimate consumer.

Rated orders received direct from the consumer must be filled by manufacturers, wholesalers or retailersr provided the consumer meets the requirements for the acceptance of orders under PR-l. As ratings for these materials are not extendible, producers need not accept rated orders from distributors, and wholesalers and retailers need not accept orders from other wholesalers or retailers.

Mathias W. Niewenhous, director of CPA's Forest Products Division, said that the actions taken today follow CPA's promise to industry that controls be eliminated as soon as possible. He said that he had received the assurance of industry that it would continue to give full cooperation to the Veterans' Emergency Housing Program. He further stated that the softrvood plywood industry had assured CPA that it rvould produce at least 50 per cent oftotal production in construction grades throughout 1947. Mr. Nieu'enhous complimented producers and distributors of lumber, millwork, hardwood flooring, and plywood on their cooperation with CPA, and was confident that they would make every efiort to assist builders in securing the required materials to. build the maximum number of housing units for veterans and others.

Most of the trees in this photograph are mature; if left standing too long, they will begin to deteriorate, due largely to the infirmities of old age'
