How Lumber Looks

Production at t{re lumber mills during the week ended April 14, 19t4, was heavier than during any week since last August excq>t for two weeks in March, and new business received was somewhat less than during any of the preceding six weeks, according to reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Asoociation covering the operations of lr5ll leading hardwood and softwood mills. These mills reported a production of 20719601000 feet, shipmenrs 19313611000 feet and ordets 193,272,0(X) feet for the week ended April 14.

West Coast, Southern Pine and California regions, as in the preceding week, were the only softwoods to reltort orders less than production during .1.

New business reported by 577 mills to the Vest Coast Lumberments Association lor the week ended April 14 was 82;4311774 feet, shipments 85,8811256 feet, and production 98r62O1447 fet. Cument sales were under production by 16.4 per cent, and shipments were undet production by 12.9 per cent. Orders booked by this group of mills for the week were under the preceding week by about 318001000 feet or 4.5 per cent'

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended April 14 reported new business from 162 mills as 27r535rOO0 feet, shipments 24r28lrOOO feet, and production 28r275rOOO f.eet. Orders wete 3 per cent below production and 13 per cent above shipments. Shipments were 14 per cent below production. Ordets on hand at these 162 mills on April 14 totaled 9rr422r00{J feet, equivalent to*4r449 *cars.

The Vestern Pine Association for the same week reported new business from 129 mills as 41/56r(XX) feet, shipments 43r6461000 feet, and producion 40'E14'000 feet. Orders wete I per cent above production and 5 per cent below shipments. Shipments wete 7 per cent above production.

MAKES FAST AIR TRIP

I Homer W. Bunker, president, Coos Bay Lumber Co., San Francis'co, returned April 14 from a week's trip to the Northwest.

Mr. Bunker spent several days at the company's mill in Marshfield, Ore., and also visited Portland. He came south from Portland on the United Air Lines plane leaving Portland at 7;30 a.m., and arrived at Mills Field, San Francisco, 3 hours and 50 minutes later. The regular time for the 6ll air miles between Portland and San Francisco is 4 hours and 40 minutes.

The California Redwood Association for the week reported production ftom 17 mills as 616511000 feet, shipmente 511591. 000 feet, and new business 4,512,O0O f,eet. Orders on hand at the end of the week were 33,268,OOQ f.eet. Twelve identical mills reported productiom 177 per cent greater and new business .3 per cent above that "*t ,1" same week last year.

567 hardwood mills give new business for the week ended April 14 as 3Q621r000 feet, or 3 per cent above production, and shipments 261715,OOO feet, or 10 per cent below production. Production waa 29$74e000*feet.

The California situation does not show much change. There are more inquiries for odd items to fill in on special jobs which are keeping the volume up. The demand for the regular building items is very light. Reports indicate that the Government will launch a large home construction and modernization cdttrpaign to get under way in a few months. It is thought that the money will come through private institutio'trs, the secrrrity to be insured by the Government.

Unsold stocks on the public docks at Los Angeles hartor on April 27 totaled 21110,000 feet. Cargo arrivals at Los Angeles hatbor for the week ended Aptil 23 amounted to 6,759,000 feet, which included 11 cargoes of Fir carcying 6,6101000 feet, and 1 cargo of Redwood with 149'000 feet. 63 vessels were operating in the coastwise lumber service on April 23; 17 vessels were laid up.

Bv Jack Dionne

Some of my readers may have suspected by this time that I'm not entirely a New Dealer when it comes to assuming that the old order of things were, all lousy and we're taking up a new way of living, and thinking, and doing it on a permanent basis. In the words of the Apostle (I forget which one) that's all mush. Whenever we get into trouble we get those phoney ideas; and when we get well we forget them. The world's been getting better fast. The last generation has seen a finer world to live in, a higher philosophy of living, more fellowship, more tolerance, much sympathy between man and man, a better understanding, and a rnore admirable social arrangement all around than the world ever knew before. All this "social revolution" talk is the bunk, and ought to be deleted. There's a red tinge to every word of it, I don't care who utters it.

The law of the ,r.-r*,"1 ri; fittest is going to go on as it always has. It's as imperishable as the law of gravity. And, the law of supply and demand is going to con' tinue to rule business and economics as it always has, and no silly, modernistic effort at repeal is going to last long enough to have its picture took. The only way to beat the law of gravity is to stay put. The only way to beat the law of the survival of the fittest, is to build oneself more fit. And, the only way to beat the law of supply and demand is to commit suicide and get out of the picture' *

I don't want to see cornpetition eliminated. I don't want to see industry regimented. I don't want to see human ingenuity worth any less of a premium than it has for the past generation. I want to see the man who can think, and do, and work, and produce better than the other fellow, get the gravy. I want to see him tolerant of the weaker man, and help find a place for him in the picture. And, this he has been doing during the past generation more than ever before. But I object to having this great nation with its innate love of brains, and virility, and efficiency, and usefulness put under any plan or way of living that will rnake those characteristics less valuable than they have been in the past. We're never going to plant the people of this country in even rows like corn, the weak and the strong, the active and the inactive, the useful and the useless-all gauged alike.

This depression is getting over. It will pass in spite of

anything that can be done to prevent it. And, when it ends, we are going into a glorious era of thinking, and hustling, and producing, and selling the like of which w6s never known before. "Social revolution" my eye! When anyone pulls that sad bull on you, just say to him: "Go to work, you sorry rascal, and forget it."

**+

Whenever I hear or read the opinion that human invention and the "machine age" has put millions of people out of work and created the present economic depression, I feel that I have just met one more man with an atrophied brain.

*rF,f

What a pitiful thing it is to believe that because we have slipped into the trough of a business wave again, human ingenuity must cease, human brains must cease to function inventively and creatively, and we must go back to raising our own food, spinning our own clothes, and living Chinese fashion from now on. Surely, in all God's creation, nothing could be farther from the truth.

***

Human invention hasn't really gotten well started yet. All worth-while invention brings benefit to the human race; and only the man who cannot see the forest for the treesthinks otherwise.

***

I like to think that I live in a world and in a land where the glorious conceptions of the productive mind of man are still in their infancy, and where generations and centuries of inventive genius of every worthy kind beckon us on to higher concepts, and greater progress.

*'t*

Human kind is so queerly constructed that whenever we get into trouble there are always men who go out seeking for the cause thereof; and such seekers always succeed in finding things that aren't there at all. We have plenty of apparently intelligent men in this country doing tbat now.

***

"Mass production is the cause of all our troubles," they would have us believe. But they fail to explain why it was that we had long and terrific depressions in this country before mass production began.

t*{.

And, naturally follows the cry "there never will again be sufEcient gmployment for everybody because of the machines." But whenever I hear that opinion I look for

the axe the fellow has to grind. There are always axes to be ground when such false philosophies appear.

I am more and more """"r*"U that when we finally get rid of this depression it will be because we have ali found more to do, and have begun working harder than we have worked in years. 'We're going to WORK ourselves out of this depression, rny friends, not LOAF ourselves out.

Some of these days *:'rJ gJi'g ,o wake up and find that such philosophy as "scrap your modern machinery, cut down your working hours and raise wages to the 'nth degree" will be sufficient qualification to get into any first class insane asylum. ***

You could fiU this entire volume with provable examples of what modern inventive genius and the machine age has done to CREATE JOBS. I venture to say that you can take from the prophets of evil who furnish us with their depressing propaganda a dozen of their most impressive examples of what machines have done to put men OUT of work; and check their added total against the number of men that the MOTOR CAR and OIL industries alone have CREATED JOBS FOR, and it will be found that these industries have more than ofiset all the

combined genuine losses in other lines that can be substantiated. More than all of them put together !

The motor car industr; ,:, l"**, and wagon making on the bum; and employs a hundred men where those industries employed one. ,< >f >k

Gasoline and oil succeeded oats and hay for fuel for transportation and put more men to work and more money in circulation than the hay and oats business ever dreamed of. ***

The spinning machine succeeded the hand spinning wheel. "The Old Spinning Wheel" is a mighty pretty ballad. But the spinning machine put hundreds of thousands of additional people to work.

There are probably t"r, tiriur*", -"rry people employed in the production of materials and manufacture and distribution of clothing today as there were.a generation ago, because of the mechanical marvels developed in machine cloth-making. The day of the Sunday frock and the everyday frock, the Sunday suit and the everyday suit, went with hand weaving. And, so it is with shoes, and hats, and wearing apparel of all sorts. Machines did that.

Vagabond Editorials

(Continued from Page 7)

Before the day of the type-setting and type-making machines the number of people employed in printing plants was very small. But perfected machinery developed and created the printing business on a huge scale, a hundred times more printing being done than a generation ago, and a hundred times more people employed.

*:Brf

Look at the ice business. A generation ago it amounted to almost nothing. Today it is a huge industry, when all the ramifications of the'refrigerating industry are considered. You will find a great army of people working every day in the year in this business where only a handful worked twenty years ago.

Take aeronautics, as another example, a great employer of skilled people. all over the country. This employment is 100 per cent new. And, radio. Millions of them being manufactured. And, the materials had to be made first. And, the machines have to be shipped' and sold, and serviced, and it requires an army of people all over the country to handle the work. All new. All due to new invention and machines.

The motor cars put horses and mules on the shelf ; but there are rnore animal doctors and hospitals in the country today than were ever dreamed of in the old horse and mule days. We've taken up doctoring our cats and dogs. That's new.

How many people u" ;"- ",inno* our modern beauty parlors furnish employment for? I don't know, but it's a tremendous number. 'We've gotten to a point where none are so poor they cannot afford a finger wave. And behind them is the enorrnous investment and employment in the production and distribution of. lotions and cosmetics. All new. All from modern invention.

Hundreds of thousands of men all over this country are continually employed in the brand-new business of building and maintaining highways. And, bac! of every man who constructs a highway there is another man manufacturing, preparing, refining and delivering the materials for road work. So here's another army-all in the last few years. All from machines.

Reconstruction ol Dam.ged Coos B.y Lumber Co. Opens Schools to Start Soon Office in Los Angeles

Funds to finance the reconstruction of fifty school building projects in twenty-one school districts in Los Angeles and Orange counties have been received from the Unified Rehabilitation Corporation, according to Vierling Kersey of the State Board of Education. The rebuilding of the schools will give safe and modern housing to some 15,000 children now in temporary school houses.

Official Copies of Labor Provisions Must be Posted

Washington, D. C., April 18.-The period for filing applications by employers for official copies of labor provisions in the Codes under which they operate, has been extended by NRA until May 15.

All employers are required to post in conspicuous places throughout their plants or buildings official NRA placards quoting the labor provisions of the code applicable to the establishment.

Woodwork to Stay Under DOUGLAS FIR

Lumber Code CEDAR SPRUCE

Washington, D. C., April l8.-Definitely rejecting the plea of a number of woodworking concerns located in metropolitan areas, the National Recovery Administration, in its administrative order number 9-10A, has denied the petition of the Cabinet, Mill and Architectural Woodwork Institute, under which name the petition was filed.

"This action," declared M. W. Stark, executive officer of the National Woodwork Association, "by avoiding the imposition of high metropolitan wage scales upon plants located in remote sections, will enable thousands of small factories to remain in business and continue to provide employment for vast numbers of workers. It will prevent the imposition of high prices upon the home builder, especially the small-home builder. It u'ill conserve present markets by continuing the competitive equality betrveen wood products and substitutes. Through better utilization of forest products it rvill aid the efforts of the government and the lumber industry torvard conservation of forest resources, in which the President has shown so much interest."

Some of the reasons behind the NRA decision are indicated in a letter addressed by General Johnson to Congressman Sam B. Hill of Washington. "The present and rvell established method of refinement of timber products is one of the most important features of conservation," declared General Johnson's letter, "and to take this process out of the Lumber and Timber Products Code would greatly increase the cost of ordinary building woodwork construction, particularly for small homes and small buildings. It rvould destroy employment, especially in remote localities where there are now no alternative sources of industrial employment.

"Woodworking plants in conjunction with the sawmills scattered through rural communities exert a great stabilizing influence for community welfare. They use timber from the farm woodlands as well as from the commercial forests.

"Decentralization of industry by encouraging fabrication at or near the source of raw materials is one of the means fostered by the Administration to spread employment over wider areas and into more cong'enial surroundings. To remove rvoodwork from the l-umber and Timber Products Code rvould tend to retard this effort."

"Red" Wood ' Scys.'

Redwood is Worftable

Because Redwood possesses all of the necessery qualifications, it is the prime wood for hand carving, patterns, sand blasting, interior panelling and cabinet work.

Redwood is even textured, has cloae, fine grain, is soft; it does not contain pitch, teain or oils. Redwood does not warp or check, holds screws and nails well, glues up perfecdy and is easy to work.

Ask the man who has used Redwood-his recommendation is our proof.

Second Annual Reveille Bis Success

Golf Tournoment Popular Feature

The Second Annual Reveille of Central and Northern California lumbermen was held at the Hotel Oakland, Oakland, Friday evening, April 20, 1934, and brought out a big turnout. The meeting was a big success. Over 300 sat down to dinner in the Ivory Ballroom of the hotel.

C. I. Gilbert, president of East Bay Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39, under whose auspices the affair was given, opened the meeting with an address of welcome which was followed by further remarks from Clement Fraser, chairman of the General Committee. Mr. Fraser then introduced H. Sewall Morton. chairman of the Entertainment Committee, and the big show was on. Charles F. Bulotti, well known N.B.C. tenor and guest artist, and who was present through the courtesy of the Loop Lumber Co. of San Francisco, opened the entertainment with three numbers that were well received. There were twenty numbers on the entertainment program which' were all exceptionally good.

The General Committee expressed their gratitude to the Northern California wholesale lumber firms, lumber manufacturers and manufacturers' representatives, who made cash donations to provide for the excellent entertainment, also to the wholesale and retail lumber firms, sash and door concerns, building material, and cement companies who contributed prizes for the golf tournament.

\(/ood Filing Cabinets in Demand

Washington, D. C., April 18.-To meet the increasing demand for filing cabinets made of wood as opposed to other materials, the Globe-Wernicke Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, is putting out a new and distinctive line of beautiful wood filing cabinets.

The manufacturers have added to the beauty, dignity, and charm of wood furniture the latest and best mechanical features developed for efficient filing equipment.

Lumbermen will be glad to push the use of this and similar office equipment. The cabinet is unusually well made and is beautifully finished in oak, walnut or mahogany veneer over a five-ply poplar core. Through improvement of design and construction the file takes as little floor space as that made from any competing material.

Smartly designed hardware of polished cast bronze adds to the appearance. Drawers operate on cradle-type progressive steel extension slides equipped with ball-bearing rollers. A patented filing principle which keeps the contents of each drawer in an upright position, with ample r,r'orking space for removing or inserting correspondence and folders, is incorporated in the ner,v cabinet. Folders are supported in such a manner that they cannot recline at an angle of more than 45 degrees.

The First Spring Snake Story

The first snake story of spring comes from the swamps of Louisiana.

A fellow found an inland lake, and went fishing. He took along a bottle of Louisiana corn whiskey; freshmade; a home product. And he imbibed it while he hunted the lake to fish in.

He had no more than settled down to fish when he heard the loud croaking of a frog, and spied a great big moccasin snake starting to swallow a big bull-frog. So, not liking snakes and thinking the frog would make good fish bait, he put a forked stick over the neck of the moccasin, pinned him down, and made him disgorge Mr.

Frog. Then a new thought struck him, and pulling out his bottle of corn licker, he poured it generously into the open and distended mouth of the big snake. Then he turned the snake loose, watched it wriggle off, and went to fishing.

A few minutes later he heard rnore agonized frog noise close at hand, and spied the same big moccasin snake, with a much bigger frog in his mouth, swimming in friendly fashion round his fish line, and holding the frog in his direction. lle saw the point.

The snake wanted to trade the frog for another drink of that Louisiana corn.

NRA Hearings on Fair Trade Practices Schedule of Lumber Code

Washington, D. C., April lO.-After five days of spirited discussion and intensive study of problems confronting the Lumber Code Authority in formulating fair trade practice regulations, the NRA hearing on Schedule "B", with Deputy Administrator A. C. Dixon presiding, closed April 7. Schedule "Bl' embodies the Rules of Fair Trade Piactice for the industry as proposed by the Authority after months of deliberation over a maze of many-sided and highly complex issues.

Overshadowing all other questions were the two issues whi'ch have vexed the industry for years-distribution of sales and consignment shipments. Virtually all of the first day and more-than half of each succeeding day's sessions were taken up by testimony from scores of interests dfiected in one way or another by whatever disposition is made of these problems.

__As one of the spokesmen for the Lumber C,ode Authority, Llarry T. Kendall, manager of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, at the outset of the hearing described the progo-s-9d rules governing these question! as the Authorily's deliberate atternpt t.o correct "evils which date back almost to the-inception of the industry, and since have disturbed and often demoralized the industry wherever lumber is cut or sold,"

Nominally, support for the Authority's recommended declsions.on various phases of the two major problems came from all branches of tne industry, with ipokesmen for the National Retail Lumber Dealeri Associaiion and the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association stating that the rank and file of their organizations are favorabl"e to the amendments. Many objections to different phases of the rulings, however, cahe fiom individuals and individual firms.

One controversial paragraph lvas ironed out apparently to the satisfaction of the prbtestants, when at onl of thl mid-week sessions Carl W. Bahr, Assistant Exe,cutive Officer and Secretary of the Lumber Code Authoritv. submitted to the Administrator two alternative substitute paragraphs for.the original Paragraph ',C,, of Section 3 of the deneral Kules. 'I'his paragraph was the first to. come under fire, and the substitute paragraphs were offered after confer_ ences with those who opposed the original. Mr. Bahr noti_ fied the Administrator that either su6stitute clause would be ac,ceptable to the Authority but expressed preferen"" io. one.

The Bone of Coqrtention

Th. co.ntested paragraph provided that periodic reports lrstrng all persons to whom discounts or other allowinces are_ granted as wholesalers, commission salesmen, jobbers, and other distributors; and authorized the Authority to de_ termine whether such persons under the provisions of Schedule "B" are entitled to the discounts. Ii further pro- vided- for publication in the Lumber Code Authority Bulle_ tin of names of those persons found by the Authoritv as not qualifying, no furthlr discounts to iuch persons would be permitted.

The substitute paragraphs proposed follow, with first place given to that preferred by the Authority:

Who Get Discounts?

No. l-Substitute for Chapter I, Section 3 (c) : .,(c) All persons subject to the jurisdiction of the Code (inciuding distributors who by receiving discounts or other allow-ances have assumed obligations. thereunder) shall report periodically to the Authority, in such manner and at s-uch times as the Authority may prescribe, a list of all persons

to whom dis,counts or other allowan,ces have been granted as wholesalers, commission salesmen, jobbers, and other distributors. The Authority is authorized to make such investigation and require su,ch reports from persons receiving discounts or _other allowances, as in its judgment may be necessary to determine whether such persons qualify as distributors entitled under the provisioni of this Schedule to discounts or other allowances. 'Whenever after such investigatio_n, and due notice and public hearing, the Authority finds that any person does not qualify as1 distributor entitled to discounts or other allowlnces, such person and the National Recovery Administration shall be so notified and unless the decision of the Authority is disap- proved by the Administrator within thirty days his name shall thereafter be published in the Lumber Code Author- ity Bulletin as a person .not qualified as a distributor to receive discounts or other allowances. and thereafter no person subject to the jurisdi,ction of the Code shall grant discounts or other allowances to him until said publicition has been revoked. The powers granted to the Authority in this paragraph shall not be delegated to any subordinate agency.t' No. Il-Substitute for Chapter I, Section 3 (c) : Any person seeking discounts or iommissions for disiributioir services as a distributor entitled thereto, may file with the Authority or with such agen,cy as may be designated by it a certificate stating his qualifications therefoi. Unless after investigation, due noti,ce, and public hearing with opportunity for appeal, the Authority or its said igency finds that such person does not meet the qualificationi prdscribed by the Code for distributors, such person shall be registered as a qualified distributor of the class in which he falls. The Authority is authorized to publish lists of such qualified distributors.

No person subject to the jurisdiction of the Code (includ- ing distributors who by receiving discounts or commissions have assumed obligations thereunder) shall grant discounts or other allowances to any distributor whose name is not on the published lists, unless such person seeking such discount or commission files with his order a certificate establishing his right to such discount or commission as a distributor as defined by the Code, and that in connection with the sale and distribution of the orodu,cts cove_red by su,ch order he will observe all provisions of the Code and rules and regulations issued thereunder.

The Authority is authorized to make such investigations a1d t9 require,such reports as may be necessary to secure effe.ctive compliance with this sul>section.

Participants in Debate

Among those who objected to one or another part of the original rule were: R. B. Owen, of the H. A. Lawrence Co., Pittsburg, Mass.; O. M. Kile, of the Mail Order Assoc_iation of America; P. E. Hoke, Des Moines. Ia. ; J. W. Gerrity, president of the J. F. Gerrity Co., Boston, Mass.; 4:. M. Crittenden. of the New Haven Reserve Supply Co., New Haven, Conn.; Wm. Denman, of the Coos BJ -Lumber Co., Coos Bav,.Ore.; John P. Cole, of the Biddle Purchasing Co., New York City, and Louis Germain, Jr., of the Southern Wholesale Lumber Association.

Among those testifving in support of the amendment were: W. W. Schupner. secretary-manager, NationalAmerican Wholesale Lumber Association; L. B. Anderson, of the Inter-Coastal Lumber Association; L. Ottinger, 9f tltr llywood Distributors Association, New York City; W. E. Morgan, Columbus, O., representing the National

Association of Commission Lumber Salesmen, and G. A. Vangness, of the Vangness Lumber Co., Chicago.

Anothei proposed ruling having to do with distribution, and around which much ,controversy centered, was contained in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 3, Chaptet 2, which endeavored to define wholesale trade; and still another, Section 2 of Chapter 2 which, defines in turn the following: (1) manufacturer, (2) salescompany, (3) whol_esaler, (4) wholesale assembling and distributing yard, (5) commission salesman, (6) seller, (7) retailer, (8) industrial, (9) importer.

Mail Order Houses

A principal protest against the regulation of discounts rvas entered by representatives of the Mail Order Association of Ameiica. Later Mr. Kendall, speaking for the Lumber Code Authority, said that the Authority had arrived at a ruling on mail order houses that classified this type of business as retail, and not entitled to wholesale dilcounts. J. M. Coleman, of Sears, Roebuck & Co., and the Mail Order Asso,ciation, declared that mail order houses are entitled to discounts by reason of their quantity purchases, and that classifications as to wholesaler or retailer has no bearing on the question. Mr. Kile, on the same side of the issue, challenged the right of the Code Authority to refuse the discounts to mail order houses.

Other objections to paragraphs in the Sections defining the various trade classifications were made by Theodore Fathauer, a Chicago wholesaler; M. G. Truman, of the Marsh-Truman Lumber Co., Chicago; R. M. Lucas, Colnmbus. O.. and H. H. McNeil. of the McNeil Lumber Company, New York City.

Strong support of the definitions rvas voiced by Homer Ballinger, on behalf of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association; R. C. Fulbright, counsel for the Southern Pine Association, and Max Meyer, president of the NationalAmeri,can Wholesale Lumber Association.

Transit and Consignment shiprnents

Transit and consignment shipments, under Section 6, paragraph (e) of the ,chapter on General Rules are to be governed to the extent that manufacturers and wholesalers are forbidden to pla,ce unsold stock in transit via rail or lvater, or to place stock on consignment.

Transit shipments are defined as "a shipment for which the shipper or seller has no order" and a consignment shipment defined as "one made without passing title at an agreed value at time of shipment and without agreed or specified terms of sale." The ruling provides, however, that "shipments by persons for delivery to their own wholesale assembling and distributing yards shall not be considered transit shipments."

Mr. Kendall testified that lumber interests owning distributing yards wish to eliminate transit and consignrnent shipments for themselves as well as others, and it was explained that the exception to the rule made for those

shipping to their own yards was to avoid any interpretation of the ruling that would interfere with the transfer of lumber under the same ownership. Mr. Kendall said that transit and consignment shipments serve only to glut the market and to sacrifice lumber at distress prices whi'ch are reflected all the way back to the point of manufacture. He termed the transmitting of lumber "a speculative evil" for which there is no adequate defense.

J. W. Gerrity, of the J. F. Gerrity Co., Boston, Mass', was among those opposing the provision excluding from classification as transit shipments those made by persons to their own wholesale assembling and distributing yards. Carl Anderson. of the Anderson Lumber Co., St. Louis, asked that transit shipments not only be barred over rail and by water, as the proposed regulation now reads, but also by truck.

H. P. Wyckoff, of the A. C. Dutton Corporation, Boston, Mass.. declared that one Eastern distributor has stored unsold transit lumber in a half dozen retail yards and said this lumber almost automatically precludes the sale of other lumber at those yards.

Charles L. Adams, representing the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, strongly supported the provision and declared that the sentiment of the lumber retailers is almost unanimous against transit sales of lumber, whi,ch he said "hangs like a pall over the retail market."

B. L. Knowles, member of the executive committee of the Associated General Contractors of America, defended transit shipments because, he said, they afforded immediate deliveries.

Sidney L. Hauptman, representing the California Wholesale Lumber Association, offered three proposed revisions of the ruling on transit and consignment shipments, stating that any one of the three would be acceptable to the California group. He said the revisions were proposed to meet the situation in Los Angeles where three wholesaler members of the Association dealing in West Coast woods own distributing yards and three others, also members of the asso,ciation, do not have such facilities. He held that if the ruling is allowed to stand unrevised it will deprive the wholesalers lvithout yards of all spot delivery business. Woodwork and Douglas Fir Door Angle

One day's sessions were largely devoted to the proposed rules in the Woodrvork Division and the Douglas Fir Door Subdivision, with Frank Stevens, of Waco, Texas, chairman of the Woodrvork Division, presenting the Authority's re,commendations in the form of a revised edition of the original Chapter 3.

E. Raymond Snedaker, president of the Frank C. Snedaker Company, Philadelphia, led a group protesting against the definitions of "jobbers" and "wholesalers" in millwork, and particularly opposed the words "resale prin(Con,tinued on Page 19)

MY BROTHER'S KEEPER

I would that I possessed the art of words to fix the real issue with which the troubled world is faced, in the mind and heart of every American rnan and woman. Our country and the world are today involved in more than a financial crisis. !1/e are faced with the primary question of human relations, which reaches to the very depth of organized. society and to the depth of human conscience. This civilization, and this great complex, which we call American life, can alone survive upon the translation into individual action of that fundamental philosophy announced by the Saviour nineteen centuries ago. Part of our national suffering today is from failure to observe these primary yet inexorable laws of human relationship. Modern society cannot survive with the defense of Cain "Am f my brother's keeper?"-Herbert Hoover.

Mr. Snedaker said his firm does a large business with what he designated "operative builders," but to which Deputy Administrator A. C. Dixon applied theterm "speculative builders." It was the contention of Mr. Snedaker and others in his group that this type of sales should be recognized as rvholesale business.

Other witnesses testifying against the proposed change included: A. K. Leuckel, Trenton, N. J., representing Leuckel and Co.; Amos Y. Lesher, Lumber & Millwork Co., of Philadelphia; and William R. Lamar, representing Barber & Ross, Inc., Washington, D. C.

The Authority's stand in the matter was supported principally by Mr. Stevens, John G. Whittier, of the Whittier Lumber & Millwork Co., Newark, N. J., and Mr. Bahr. They explained that the definitions had the support of the Easiern Millwork Bureau and other representative organizations in the millwork industry, and that the definitions were designed to correct abuses whi.ch had undermined the industry for years and without which the fair trade practices obiective could not be attained.

Otheis appearing at the woodwork session included Ed Kutz, representing Peter Kutz Co., Dayton, Ohio; J. M' Coleman, of the Mail Order Association of America; I. S. Turover, Washington, D. C., and E.

National Retailers Meet-R e-elect Offic ers

The need of a distribution clairse in both lumber codes was stressed at the annual meeting of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association which was held in Washington, D. C., on April 10 and 11. Spencer D. Baldwin of Jersey City, president of the association, presided at the meeting.

The officers of the Association re-elected for the ensuing year are: Spencer D. Baldwin, Jersey City, N. J., president; George W. LaPointe, Jr., Menomonie, Wis., vice president; L. P. Lewin, Cincinnati, Ohio, treasurer, and Frank Carnahan, Washington, D. C., secretary.

At the conference of regional secretaries, Frank Williams, of Florida, was named as chairman; G. E. Denike of New Jersey, vice-chairman, and Allan T. Flint of Colorado, secretary.

The report of the resolutions committee which was unanimously adopted recited the inability of the retail trade to decrease hours without decreasing wages. The resolution declared that in most of the smaller retail yards of the country shortening of hours does not increase employment but only decreases hours of service, that many employees are now being retained only because of past business relations and that an increase of costs would result in their being laid off, that many branch yards would have to be abandoned, that the "modal" mark-up would have to be increased and that this would probably result in a further decrease in the now deplorably slender volume of business.

Another resolution contained a request to the President and to the Congress and administrative officials to take such steps as may be necessary to furnish government assistance to rehabilitate the building industry by providing funds for'mortgages on new residential structures and for repairs, alterations and modernization of existing residential buildings.

The convention went on record as opposing unfair and discriminatory discounts and petitioned the N'RA and manufacturers and wholesalers to establish and enforce a policy providing that anyone receiving wholesale or jobbing discounts shall confine sales of materials purchased under such discounts to wholesalers, dealers, and regularly recognized wholesale trade.

Cognizance was taken of the fact that small sawmills are in some cases selling lumber at retail in competition with retail lumber yards, and a petition was addressed to the NRA and to the divisions of the Lumber Code Authority to lend active and effective support to the complete enforcement of code provisions designed to prevent such competition.

Another resolution advanced the suggestion that small woodworking operations connected with retail yards be transferred from the jurisdiction of the Lumber Code Authority to that of the Retail Lumber Code, and requested that the Retail Code Authority name a committee of three

to confer with the Lumber Code Authority with a view to solving this problem.

It was also resolved that dues be increased from 5O cents to $1 per yard per y,ear, that the personnel and office facilities of the Association be increased and that it embark upon a four point program including (1) matter of distribution, (2) legislation, (3) traffic, and (4) merchandisirg. The convention also resolved that because of the tendency toward a five-day week, the transportation companies be requested to exempt Saturday as well as Sunday from demurrage on all shipments arriving during the last two days of the week.

A motion was passed to the effect that the President of the Association be designated as chairman of the Retail Lumber Code Authority and that the Authority shall elect an executive committee of seven members, which committee is to name its own chairman.

Immediately upon adjournment of the Association, the Retail Lumber Code Authority convened.

Among the Association directors who attended the meeting were F. Dean Prescott, Valley Lumber Co., Fresno, and J. G. O'Malley, O'Malley Lumber Co., Phoenix, Ariz. Elmore W. King, King Lumber Co., Bakersfield, and O. H. Barr, Barr Lumber Co., Santa Ana, national retail code authority members for the Northern and Southern California divisions, attended the meeting of the Retail Code Authority.

Elmore W. King was elected a member of the Executive Committee of the Retail Lumber Code Authority. O. H. Barr was appointed to serve on the National Trade Practice Complaints Committee, and Mr. King on the Finance Committee.

Mr. Smith resigned from the Forest Service in 1916 to become secretary-manager of the California White & Sugar Pine Association, 'i.vith whom he developed standard gra<ling and inspection service, statistical service, traffic serr,ice, and trade extension and forest policies for the western pine lumber industry.

In 1929 he joined the staff of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. from which he now resigns. While rvith the National he u'as detailed to the Timber Conservation Board to assist in preparing its final report on "The Forest Situation in the United States." He developed "The Lumber Market," an economic analysis of present and future demand. throughout the countrr'. and of late has been active in the Timber Engineering Company, a subsidiarl' of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. formed to introduce modern connectors in timber construction.

Mr. Smith holds a commission as captain of engineers, O.R.C., and is a senior member of the Society of American Foresters.

A splendid example of the use of California Redwood for interior decoration will be seen in the new Redwood Room of the Clift Hotel, San Francisco, when the hotel is reopened following the extensive remodeling now being carried out by its new owners.

The room is done in ,curly Redwood flush panels, with inlays of white holly. No battens are used. T,he bar tops are of Redwood burl, two inches thick.

Dimensions of the room are 36 feet by 61 feet. It is irr restrained modern design, the only decoration being a large panel over the bar, inlaid in Redwood in color. The wood itself is so beautiful that no other decoration is required.

The contract for the work has been let to Wm. Bateman, San Francisco, who is now executing the work. Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Co., San Francis,co, supplied the Redwood.

The room was designed by G. Albert Lansburgh, pro-inent architect, of San Francisco. It will be remembered that it rvas Mr. Lansburgh who designed the Drumm house at Lake Tahoe. which is built entirely of port Orford Cedar logs.

Surveys Business Picture at Chicago Convention

An Astonishing Tale

Here's a yarn that c,omes up {rom San Pedr An astonishing tale of a whale; Though you, when you've read it my brothe: May dub it a whale of a tale.

Now whales have soft, vulnerable tummies, According to longshoreman Hicks, And, down in the depths of the ocean, "Believe it or not," there are ticks !

So, when noting unseemly behavior

On the part of our sea going rvhales, Think not the poor creatures are locoed, There are ti,cks ,clamping dorvn on their scalt

When a whale spouts in mad clesperation And lashes about on the tide, I-et sympathy rule your emotions, There are ticks boring into his hide. When he makes a bee line for the mainland. And beaches himself on the shore, Dash forth with your first aid equipment And succor the beast, I implore !

Vood, Conuersion Co. representatiues in conaention in Chicago, exists, provided those materials are adapted for use both in old and in new construction, are priced f.or 1934 pocketbooks, and have new values to ofier the purchaser.

The lumber dealer who handles such materials, it was stated, is in a far more favorable position today than if he attempts to carry specialties which are foreign to his experience and which involve him in unknown competition. He is able to capitalize on his own knowledge of conditions in his field and to add volume with materials which he alone is best equipped to sell.

The House of Friendly SerYice

Now ask me not brother I pray thee, How wood ticks live down in the sea; The horv and the why and the wherefore Of marine life are too deep for me.

I'm simply repeating a story Related by longshoreman, Hicks; Who judged by appeal4ns6 4nd-gestures, Most certainly knoweth his ti,cks.

B.C. Waterborne Lumber Products Show Large Gain in 1933

British Columbia waterborne lumber exports from the principal B. C. ports during the year 1933 totaled 753,810 M bd. ft., comparecl rvith 498,901 M ft. in 1932, a gain of 5l per cent, states reports from Vice Consuls Nelson P. Meeks, at Vancouver, and Robert M. Nervcomb, at Victoria, made public by the Forest Proclucts Division of the Department of Commerce.

Presidential Order Settles Legality o[ Code Fee Collection

Washington, D. C., April 18.-Any doubts as to the legality of Code fee assessments ancl collection have been rcmoved by an order from Pr esident Roosevelt, issued April 14, and a supplementary orcler from NRA Administrator Johnson. The President's order, based on the authority vested in him by the National Industrial Recovery Act, empowers the Administrator to approve the collection by a Code Authority of expenses of Code administration after approval by the Administrator of the Authority's operating budget and fee rates; and makes refusal to pay such fees a violation of the Code subjecting the delinquent to withdrawal of all Code benefits and loss of the Blue Eagle, as well as to a suit which may be brought by the Code Authority.

General Johnson's supplementary order sets forth the regulations under which Code Authorities shall act in assessing and collecting contributions. Employers subject to several codes will, rvith certain exceptions, lte assessecl only for the support of one code authority, that representing the employer's principal line of business. The order prescribes the form of notice which must be -Siven by code authorities before contributions become due, and allorvs a 15-day period for protest against an 'assessment. The protest may be on the ground that the basis of the contribution as approved by the Administrator is unjust as applied to the palticular employer or that the approved basis is not being followed by the Code Authority. An employer r'vho has receivecl proper notice and rvho has not protested within 15 days thereafter, and who has not paid his contribution rvithin 3O days after receipt of tl-re notice, u'ill be in violation of his Cocle.

To make the above effective a Code shall contain a Provision ll'hereunder non-payment of an equitable share of code administration costs constitute a code violation and rvhereunder the Administrator shall have approved an itemized Code Arrthority burlget and an equitable basis of contribution.

The Lumber Code Authority's proposed Amendment 50 to the Lumber Code, now before the Administrator for his approval, provides that persons failing to fulfill obligations rrnder Article IV of tl,e Code, including payment of Code fees, may be denied a prodrrction allotment by the governing agency.

t17APPAT ELECTBIG

To L. A. Building Ordinance

A hearing was held before the Building and Safety Committee of the Los Angeles City Council at the City Hall, Thursday afternoon, April 19, on the resolution introduced in the City Council on March 15, 1934, by Councilman Geo. W. C. Baker, asking for an amendment to exempt the foundation grade technically known as No. 1 Heart Common Redwood from the building ordinance rvhich requires that all lumber used as the underpinnings of buildings be pressure-treated rvith creosote or its equivalent as a protection against termites.

Councilman Baker opened the hearing by stating that the Redwood industry is one of the oldest industries in the state, represents an investment of $250,0@,000, employs 11,000 men r,vith an annttal payroll of approximately $15,000.000, pays between $2,0@,0@ and $3,000,@O a year in taxes, and that the industry is handicapped by the ordinance.

R. R. Leishman, California Redwood Association, talked in support of the amendment. He discussed the grading rule specifications of the foundation grade No. 1 Heart Common Redwood which he said is free from sapwood and each piece of lumber would carry the Association's grade and trade mark as a guarantee of its quality. Emanuel Fritz, Associate Professor of Forestry, University of California at Berkeley, gave the committee much technical information regarding Redu'ood. Prof. Fritz was asked many questions by both the members of the Committee and others about Redwood as to its durability and resistance to decay.
