"So that all engaged in the lumber industry may receive the benefits of the efforts of this Association at the last session of the Legislature, and may be advised that their rights are still protected under the California Mechanics' Lien Law, this bulletin is mailed to members and nonmembers alike.

"Below are tabulated the actions taken on all bills presented which affected the Mechanics' Lien Law; also- we are submitting a copy of letter written to our President, by Herbett C. Stone, Secretary of the Building Material Dealers Credit Association, of Los Angeles, whose Association has been working with this Association for months past preparing a defense for the Mechanics' Lien Law. - In May, 1924, plans were being made to abrogate the Mechanics' Lien Law, or to so amend it that it would no longer have been a protection to the Material Dealersat that time this Association began its preparation for the defense of the Law of the Legislature. Propaganda was S-olten out explaining the peril the law was in, and offering this Association as the medium for the fight to be made at Sacramento. We were successful in securing the backing of the following organizations: lreqno Bldg. Material Dealers- Ass'n, Fresno.

Building Material Dealers Credit Association, Los Angeles, EuilderJ Exchange, Long Beach.

Calif. Retail Hafoware & Implement Ass'n, San Francisco. Calif. Ass'n of Retail Credit Bureaus. Santa Barbara. Catif. Bldg. Material Dealers Ass'n, San Francisco.

"In addition to these the State Labor Commissioner, I\{r. Matthewson, and the Attorney for the Labor Commission, and the attorney for the Bldg. Material Dealers Credit Ass'n of Los Angeles-Mr. Glen Behymer (an authority on the Lien Law), worked with the Legislative Committe-e of this Association, at Sacramento, for many days at a time; also Mr. Stone, as per letter quoted later; foi, while our plan of defense was outlined and perfected, it had to be put into operation in the Committees of the Legislature to which the Lien Law Bills were referred; thus it was most important that we should have representation."

"The following report on Senate and Assembly Bills will give you an idea of the very successful result accomplished bv this Association.

"The efficient work done by this Association on the Lien Law shows the power of organization in the big issues affecting the lumber busingss.
