California Pine Association Protests Dropping "California White Pine" Name

On May 3rd, at a meeting of the General Lumber Con' ference in Washington, the Central Committee of Lumber Stahdards decided to drop from the nomenclature of the Standards the trad'e name "California White Pine," and substitute therefore "Pondosa" Pine.

The California White and Sugar Pine Association called a special meeting of its members in San Francisco for May l8th, where the matter was discussed, and a resolution made, seconded, and passed by a vote of 14 to 4 on the subject. H. D. Mortenson made the resolution, and Willis T, Walker seconded it, and it reads as follows: - "The General Lumber Conference held in Washington, May 3, saw fit to drop from the nomenclature of the Am'erican Lumber Standards the trade name "California White Pine" which trade name has been in use for more than fifty years, and substitute a. name "Pondosa" pine which has fect. ---'it total hardwood nrovement for thir, !iIl9^P{141 af' ""raUg-i"tf "iport,rhowr:Pr-oductionn-8-89r9!?1QO9f :a; si6;;"t, bzz,soe,looo feeti ordc$, 947'893'oqu9qbeen in use less than five years' and in protest thereto we offer this --i.Resolved,resolution:

That it be the sense of the California White & Suear Pine Manufacturers' Association that a protest t" tifEa with the General Lumber Conference against its r"tiort in dropping the name "California White Pine" from the Americ"i'L,i*b"t Standards. We do this because it aDDears from transcript of the committee's proc'eedings that its'action was taken by reason of certain incorrect statements and misinfotmaiion as to the willingness of our membership to change this name' The change is one ot ereat moment and uft respectfully urge that the name be iffo*J t" remain as it was in the lumber standards before ifti. ""iiott was taken until such time as the legal authoriiies, itt whose hands the matter rests, shall determine in the iin"t "pp."l by adjudication that it is an improper trade name.tt

Copies were sent to everyone concerned.
