Abraham Lincoln once made this momentous remark about property: "Property," said Honest Abe, "is the fruit of labor; it is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and to enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself ; thus, by example, assuring that his own home shall be safe from violence when built."

Frank A. Munsey, famous publisher, was once asked the secret of his success. He replied that it came principally from two sources, "the forty dollars capital I brought with me from Maine to New York forty years ago, and the capacity God gave me for work. There has been no mystery, no legerdemain, no short cuts for me. It has been done by fairly sound reasoning, the courage to put my conclusions to the test, and by paying the price in work. I am a thorough believer in work. I love to work, and wish all Americans loved work as f love it. Generally speaking there is no such thing as getting something for nothing. We must pay the price in thought, in care, in watchfulness, in work-intense, everlasting work."

Collier's Weekly editorially remarks: "It is NOT unpatriotic to speak up when you see something going on that you think imperils this country. It IS unpatriotic to keep your mouth shut about it, whatever it may be." Amen ! Grave problems face this nation. But the gtavest danger

is that the time may come when, because of fear or favor' citizens will fail to speak their honest minds about things that concern us all. Remember, this is OUR government; and it will continue to be free just so long as we keep on turning over every suspicious-looking chip to see what's under it.

We freguently read or hear figures quoted showing how small a percentage of our citizenship own how large a portion of our wealth. Demagogues guote them to prove that the rich throttle the poor. Radicals quote them to prove that this world's goods should be assembled and redivided. The mob, which is appealed to through its emotions or its stomach, frequently assumes such logic to be truthful. The demagogue and the radical forget to tell them that all other good things are divided in about the same way, and cannot be re.assembled and re-divided. For instance, 2O per cent of dl the salesmen of this nation sell at least .._^ 70 per cent of all the goods sold. How are you going te-ftiassemble and re-divide sales ability? Scholars agree that 15 per cent of the people of this nation do at least 85 per cent of the actual constructive THINKING. How can you socialize the ability to think successfully?

The fact is-and "r"; oir"*-"r, knows it-that you could seize the wealth of him who has made much, and divide it among those who have made little; and turn them loose. And in a very short time he who made it before, will make it all back again. You can shuffle humanity any way you see fit, and the thinkers will keep right on doing the thinking, while the thoughtless will keep right on kicking about "unfairness." You can divide the sales territories' all over, and the skilled salesmen will get the sales gravY, just the same. Intelligence, virility, ability, and usefulness, cannot be regimented or budgeted. The statement that "all men were created equal" refers to opportunity; not to their intrinsic value.

When we attempt ," :"r uJ*r an" natural laws that made this nation great, those laws that put a premium on ABILITY:we court trouble. We must keep nature's books balanced. It is because we have attempted to reverse so many natural laws that we continue to struggle on fitfully,

t

fearfully, and doubtingly. This nation was built on the proposition that the man with ABILITY and USEFULNESS will profit more than he who has less; that he who can make two ears of corn grow where only onHr perhaps none-grew before, will profit accordingly; that the man who can CREATE more will EARN more and GET more than the weaker fellow. We will always have employers and employes, rich and poor, (it was Jesus Christ who said, "the poor ye have always with you"), efficient and inefEcient, energetic and lazy, worthy and worthless, just so long as human nature endures. The crosswise philosopher who attemps to prove otherwise, is only pulling on a rope of sand***

I don't know who wrote the following, but I like it: "f have no use for guys that swat their luck, And daily bemoan their fate, and spring a whine, Just gimme a shirt and a pair o' pants, An open field and an even chance-and I'll get mine."

The wise Lycurgus *4" **, out of iron so that luxury might not corrupt the people and debase the national pride. Guess lots of our American owners of savings accounts think it must be iron money they have saved, they get so little return on it. Truly the cheap money of --' today has wrought havoc with savings account returns. In the old days a thrifty man worked and saved until he had a thousand dollars in the savings bank, and got four per cent interest on it. He could leave it there and in 17 years he would have two thousand dollars to apply on his old age needs. Or he could take his forty dollars a year and use it for a vacation, or for doctor bills in case of emergency, etc. Today most banks pay one and one-half per cent interest on savings accounts. (Some banks have discontinued paying such interest entirely, because they cannot make their cash on hand make money.) So the thrifty guy

with a thousand dollars in the savings bank now gets fifteen dollars a year, instead of forty. He can't take a vacation on that. And if he leaves it there and lets it accumulate, it will take him forty-six years to accumulate another thousand. fn order to get the annual forty dollars interest he used to get on his one thousand, he now has to have $2666 in the bank. Of all the squeeze plays going on, the one on the small, thrifty, savings account owner, is probably the most discouraging.

In the June 15 issue I discussed. retail lumber plan books, and remarked that I remembered the first set I ever saw. Harry McGahey, of the San Diego Lumber Company, San Diego, writes in and wants to know how far back that was. He says they still have in their office the first set of plan books ever used by his company, and that it was dated 1902. That beats me. I remember making talks to lumber conventions in 1910 on the use of plan books in selling building materials, and the first lumber plan books I ever saw dated about 1907. Anyhow, I'm just a young feller trying to get along, and I don't claim to remember back as far as veterans like my friend Harry. Besides, I'm proud to know that the live wire San Diego Lumber Company was doing modern merchandising activities that long ago. Progressive folks, those San Diegans, and fine merchants.

Negotiations Continue in Los Angeles Lumber Strike

No settlement has been reached in the Los Angeles lumber strike as we go to press. Negotiations are still continuing between representatives of the employers and the unions.

The lumber industry at Los Angeles Harbor was tied up Saturday, June 17, when a strike was called by the San Pedro Local 2ffi7. Lumber and Sawmill Workers lJnion, A. F. of L. and Local 235, Engineers and Carrier Operators lJnion, A. F. of L. C.I.O. longshoremen refused to pass picket lines, resulting in a shut down of lumber ship operations.

The strike spread to the retail lumber yards in the Los Angeles district Wednesday, June 21, following failure of negotiations between the employers and representatives of Los Angeles Local 2788, Lumber and Sawmill Workers IJnion, A. F. of L.

The unions demand I 40-hour week instead of the 't4hour week, prevailing under the old contracts which expired June 4, with no.decrease in pay.

About 1200 men are out at the 17 wholesale lumber plants at the Harbor, and 180o men in the retail lumber yards in the Los Angeles district. 26 of. the 28 retail lumber companies represented by the negotiating committee are affected by the strike.

Mayor Bowron of Los Angeles called a conference of employers and representatives of the unions at his office Wednesday morning, June 21, to renew negotiations in an effort to settle the strike.

Following the Mayor's conference it was stated the u,nions had withdrawn a notice it had sent to the employers to the effect that no settlement would be made in either the Harbor or Los Angeles district unless settlement was satisfactory to the other union, and the Harbor employers withdrew a compromise offer they had made of a 5 per cent wage increase in an effort to avert the strike. This put the negotiations back to the original demands of the unions.

The employers still adhered to their contention that because the Harbor area involves wholesale establishments and the Los Angeles district involves retail establishments, the situations are entirely different and it is necessary to negotiate separate contracts for the Harbor and the Los Angeles district.

Secretary-Manag'er Kenneth Smith of the Lumber and Allied Products Institute, Los Angeles, issued a public statement on June 21 explaining the employers' position, in which he said in part:

"The public should realize that two distinct controversies are being faced by the lumber industry, they involve two sets of employers and three different union organizations.

"If the members of the uptown union, Local 2788, f.ail to start work in Los Angeles retail yards Wednesday morning they will be taking this action because the retail employers uptown refuse to make negotiations of a new agree-

ment with their own workers contingent on the wholesale owners and lumber handlers at the water front reaching a satisfactory agreement with two groups, harbor union, Local 2@7, and harbor engineers, Local 235, whose members have refused to work lumber ships and harbor yards since last Saturday.

"Harbor employers were trying to reach agreement on their fifth successive contract with No. 235 and No. 2ffi7 when the walkout there occurred. Refusal of the uptown union, Local 2788, to bargain collectively uptown without strings attached to the harbor situation ended the effort to reach an agreement on the third contract between uptown employers and the uptown local.

"At no time in the past have these two groups of employers and unions bargained collectively for a joint agreement.

"So completely different are the two operations, at the harbor and uptown, and so widely divergent are the ownerships, that the two employer groups must stand on independent bargaining with the different unions if they are to stay in business.

"This is indicated clearly by the fact that the 17 harbor employers offered a 5 per cent wage increase and a 4G hour week, to run from Monday to Saturday noon, as a compromise to the union demand for a l4l per cent wage i.ncrease and a 4o-hour week to run from Monday to Fridaf in an efiort to prevent a tie-up.

"This compromise never was referred to the union membership for acceptance or rejection and the walkout occurred before the employer group could act on the union's refusal.

"Now, in uptown Los Angeles, owners of retail yards meeting on numerous occasions with union representatives offered a continuation of the expiring contract, carrying a minimum 65-cent wage and 44-hour week, without change to 4Ghour week demanded by the union.

"Employers took this position because economic conditions would not make possible concessions in either decreasing hours or increasing wages. While small home construction is at a high peak and building permits have been better than in the past few years, heavy construction today is at a standstill locally and the volume of business through uptown retail yards is down.

"\Mith all these differences in ownership, type of business and personnel involved, the uptown employers received an ultimatum from the unions stating:

" 'By this means we wish to inform you that no agreement will be acceptable to any one of the above-mentioned organizations, Locals 2ffi7, 2788 and 235, unless a satisfactory agreement has been reached with each of the others.'

"Because of this uptown employers take the position that Local 2788 no longer has the ,power to bargain collectively for uptown employees. It is obvious that it would be fruitless to continue to bargain with Local 2788 when the

final agreement must be contingent on Locals 2&7 and 235 at the harbor entering into agreement with different employers.

"The situation is the same as if the employers refused to enter into an agreement unless other employers entered into other agreements with other employers-all satisfactory to the first group. Such a situation could not be termed p willingness to bargain or negotiate in good faith.

"lJptown employers have spent much time with union agents and in negotiations on the representation that Local 2788 is the proper bargaining unit for our employees.

"'We stand ready at all times to bargain with this agency but must have its assurance that it has the power to consummate these negotiations with a contract; and such powir must not be contingent on a satisfactory contract being entered into between another locai and different employers in a different place and dealing with an entirely different branch of the industry."

Further conferences were held Thursday, June 22, in the office of United States Conciliation Commissioner Lyman N. Sisley in the Federal Building. One was between Harbor district employers and representatives of Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union 26O7 in the morning. The other was between Los Angeles district retail yard employers and the same unions Los Angeles Local 2788.

A compromise proposal made by the employers of the Harbor district was turned down by the San Pedro union. Of this compromise rejection, J. A. Privett, spokesman for the Harbor employers, made a public statement on June 27 in which he said:

"The public should have a clear understanding of what the union has rejected from us.

"In the face of the poorest economic conditions and future prospects that the i.ndustry has encountered within a number of years, the employers made the following compromise ofier and they are at a loss to understand its rejection.

"Einployers offered to meet the request of the union to reduce the work week to 4O hours, Monday-Friday, and pay time and one-half for work done on Saturdays, Sundays or in excess of eight hours on any work day.

"They offered also to raise the present minimum wage of 65 cents an hour to 7O; to raise the present 67/2 rate to 72, an increase of.7.7 per cent and 6.6 per cent respectively; and to raise all other classifications carrying a higher rate 5 per cent, rvhich would bring the highest present rate of $r.l2Y2 to $1.18.

"This represents an offer to increase the straight tirne payroll by more than 6 per cent and this will not represent the total expense to employers because of the overtime which it would be necessary to pay when working boats on Saturday."

Following a conference on June 27, Federal Conciliation Commissioner Sisley said that further conferences will be held when another proposed contract is drafted by the employers of the Harbor yards. No date was set for the meeting.

Meanwhile, another meeting between representatives of the striking workers in the Los Angeles retail yards and employers was held the afternoon ol June 27.

REDWOOD HEADSUARTERS

E. A. (Alex) Gordon, a native of Michigan, grew up'on a ranch in Montana's famous Gallatin Valley, where his father raised grain and livestock. He attended high school and the State College at Bozeman. Later, in company with his brother, he broke prairie sod on a new ranch in Southern Alberta.

Soon after this country entered the world war Alex returned to the United States and enlisted in the Navy. Upon completion of ,preliminary training at the U. S. Naval Station on Yerba Buena Island in San Francisco Bay he served with the Atlantic Fleet and later was transferred to a Reserve Officers' Class at the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. After the Armistice he returned to the Alberta ranch, but soon turned his attention to mining in British Columbia and Northern Alberta. It was during this period that recollections of the Bay region began to recur and in 1924 he returned to San Francisco, where he entered the har,dwood lumber business with E. A. Howard and Company. In 1927 he joined the Strable Hardwood Company where he now serves as salesman, covering Northern California and Southern Oregon. He is married and resides in Berkeley. Taking pictures of scenic landscapes is his most interesting diversion.

Alex says he likes his work because his travels take him among'friends of his firm, all of whom help with the present-day problems of merchandising. "Experience has taught me," he says, "that there must be friendship in business for without friendship true business ceases and becomes barter."

Large Demand for Small Home Plang

Washington, June 8.-Still ahead of last year in number of small home plans distributed to dealers, builders and contractors, the National Small Homes Demonstration moves into the sixth month of its 1939 campaign with more than 5,300 plans outstanding.

Judging by the distribution of the plans, Houses 1-A, I-8,2-A and 2-F are the most popular of the small homes, the first two being of the two-story type. House 1-A has two bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen and bath and differs from l-E in that the latter has an attached garage over which is a flat roof permitting a second-story sun deck. Ifouse 2-A is a simple cottage with two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bath, while 2-F has in addition, a garage attached to the house proper by means of an intervening terrace.

More than 35,000 co,pies of the Small Homes Manual, containing the full story of the National Small Homes Demonstration and illustrations of all twelve houses. have been printed.

Patching Products Sold Through Dealers

An old cdcae, but as true todcry crg when it was first uttered.

The knocker is becoming cr rcrre slrcimen in lhe lield oI sclesmcnship, but the species is not entirely extinct, nevertheless unlortuncrtely.

Every time a scrlesrncm strikes cr blow crt his competitor he is driving cr nail in the coffin oI hie own prospective sales. The hopes of mcury misguided sclesmen lie buried benecrth cn crvclcnche ol distrugt crnd disgust on the pcrrt of the buyer, crnd with them qre buried the businees oI their employers.

It is crn old cmd outwom stunt lo run down the products ol your competitor, crnd mcrny q mqrr has lecrnred ioo lcrte thcrt it is the sure rocrd to lailure. YeL beccruse there qre still lhose who have not yet lecnred the lesson" this piece is written"

Discrediting your neighbor's goods is the surest wcry ol crousing suspicion oI your own wcres in ihe mind of your prospect. He mcry know thcrt your merchcnrdise is better, but your competitor mcry be on such friendly terms with him personcrlly thcrt he will resent your cttitude oI criticisn.

On the other hcnd your prospect probcbly. knows cll cbout the merits and demerits ol your competitor's stock. Whct he wcrnts to hnow is how your own line mctches up with it, cnrd he crlone is the iudge oI thcrt.

Tell him the good points of your own merchcndise cmd service crnd all qbout why HE should prolit by buying lrom YOU, and then let him mcke the compcrison between whct you crnd the other fellow h<rve lo oller. It is line for YOU to know the weck points ol your competition, but only so thcrt you mcy be qble to prolit by them, cnd NOT Ior the purpose ol telling the customer about them.

Appoint ed General Sales Manager

The appointment of Marvin Greenwood as general sales manager of The Celotex Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, has just been announced by Henry W. Collins, vicepresident in charge of merchandising. J. Z. Hollmann, who formerly held this position, is taking leave of absence due to ill health but will return to the company in an executive capacity at a later date.

I\{r. Greenwood has been associated with The Celotex Corporation since 1925. He has played an active and important role in the company's growth, having started when they launched their first national sales and advertising campaign.

Blackman-Anderson Lumber Co.

Expands

Blackman-Anderson Lumber Co., moved their headquarters to a new site at 7W5 - 42nd Avenue, Oakland, last November. They are still using most of the old site at 422I East 14th Street, which they purchased from the estate of E. L. Blackman. The nerv location gives them needed additional room for storag'e, the main shed having a capacity of 75O,000 feet. This shed has a concrete floor. Most of the lumber is end-stacked, a feature that is appreciated by the majority of buyers. Practically all of the stock is under cover. There is room for five cars on the spur track alongside the shed, and large doors can be opened to facilitate movement of lumber from the cars.

Fir, Ponderosa Pine and Redwood are stocked, and both Redwood and Red Cedar shingles. This firm has specialized lor some time in "Ewauna" Ponderosa Pine. Pabco roofing and paints are handled.

Since 1912

The irames of Blackman and Anderson are well known in connection with the lumber business in the East Bay area, E. L. Blackman having founded his lumber and mill business in Oakland in L897. The principals in BlackmanAnderson Lumber Co. are Clarence Blackman, son of E. L. Blackman, and Fred Anderson. Mr. Anderson was associated with E. L. Blackman for 40 years, and Mr. Blackman worked in the business from the time he left high school until the business was liquidated following the passing of his father.

The new location has the advantage of having plenty of parking space and in addition being close to two main traveled arteries, 12th Street and 14th Street.

The office is finished in Iinotty Pine and Ponderosa Log Cabin siding.

CRITICISM

It is Criticism, as Arnold points out, that creates the intellectual atmosphere of the age. It is Criticism that makes the mind a fine instrumetrt. It is Criticism again, that, by concentration, makes culture possible. It takes the cumbersome mass of creative work, and distils it into a finer essence.

The thread that is to guide us across the wearisome labyrinth is in the hands of Criticism. Nay more, where there is no record, and history is either lost or was never written, Criticism can re-create the past for us from the very smallest fragments of language or art, just as surely as the man of science can, from some tiny bone, or the mere impress of a foot upon a rock, re-create for us the winged dragon or the Titan lizard that once made the earth shake beneath his tread, can call Behemoth out of his cave, and make Leviathan swim once more across the startled sea. Prehistoric history belongs to the philological and archaeological critic. It is to him that the origin of things are revealed.

It is Criticism that, recognizing no position as final, and refusing to bind itself by the shallow shibboleths of any sect or school, creates that serene philosophic temper which loves truth for its own sake, and loves it not the less because he knows it to be unobtainabls.-Qssa1 Wilde.

Seek to Regain Lumber Export Markets

Washington, June 10-A bill calculated to revive the lumber export trade that in 1938 sagged to its lowest point in forty years, has just been introduced in the Senate by Senators Holman and McNary of Oregon. A similar bill is under consideration by members of the House Committee on Merchant Marine.

The Holman-McNary bill proposes to provide competitive shipping rates and adequate shipping services to lumber and manufactured timber products exported from the United States by putting into practice the policy of shipping aids to lumber export defined by Congress in Section 2ll (h) of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936. The bill would authorize and direct the Maritime Commission to grant subsidies to shipping operators to provide, or the Commission to prescribe, export rates as low as those of principal foreign competitors to the same common or comparably distant markets abroad; o.r for the same purpose to lease vessels and allocate space, or to operate vessels.

The advantage of foreign competitors in the export trade, in shippin$ alone, from subsidized rates or subsidized cargo or both, usually ranges between $tr and $2 per thousand feet. In addition there are foreign import discriminations against American lumber. The ,principal discriminations are the British levy, to/o C.I.F. on most American lumber, but no levy on Empire lumber, and the Australian-New Zealand additional duty on American lum-

ber of one pound or $3.75 at present per thousand feet.

The effect of these discriminations and shipping subsidies on our lumber exports may be observed when it is shown that American export of lumber rose from l,OO4,000,000 board feet in 1899 to over 3,000,000,000 board feet in 198-D, and then, following the wave of foreign preferential tariffs, foreign import discriminations and subsidies, and with the Oriental situation, the exports dropped to 947,453,m board feet last year.

In 1928 softwood lumber was 85/o of the United States export and hardwood l5/o, and the nearly world-wide export of softwood sawn goods by Europe and North America found the American share N/o. By 1937 the American portion had dropped. to 9/o, although European export in that year was less by nearly one-sixth than l9%.

Last year our reduced lumber export was only 727/2% of softwoods and even the greatly decreased supplies of European soft saw-timber in export areas, which brought European export down more than one-third below 1928, failed to aid the United States, our share in exports of the sawn softwoods from Europe and North America being bat 8/o.

The Holman-McNary bill is a practical step toward securing, for American lumber exporters, shipping services and ship'ping rates no less favorable than those available to their principal foreign competitors. The bill should have widespread industry support.

Establish Additional !(/olmanized Lumber Stocks for California Distribution

Announcement is made by the American Lumber & Treating Co., that additional Wolmanized lumber stocks have recently been established to service the growing dealer and user requirement for this popular lumber.

Popular items in Wolmanized lumber are stocked by wholesalers and manufacturers and are available to lumber dealers only, from the following points in Northern California; Pope & Talbot Lumber Co., San Francisco, stock at Berkeley; Wendling-Nathan Co., San Francisco, stock at Stockton; Hill & Morton, Inc., Oakland, stock at Fresno,. Loop I umber Co., San Francisco, stock at San Francisco. Typical dealer stock consists of l" and 7' material and small timbers. Wolmanized lumber is being widely used for mudsills and for many other services where protection is desired against decay and termite damage. Architects and engineers are specifying this item for the better type construction, including homes, schools and public buildings. Sleepers and nailing blocks imbedded in or in contact with masonry are regularly specified as pressure-treated.

Lumber dealers are profiting by this steady increase in the sale of Wolmanized lumber i.n the California territory. The American Lumber & Treating Company's dealer policy is of real benefit to dealers.

An interesting use for this material was revealed recently when a San Francisco Bay district lumber yard sold 35,000 feet for the reconstruction of the refrigeration rooms of the German steamer Vancouver, damaged by an explosion.

Report of State Ass'n Legislative Committee

After reading the titles of all the bills introduced (approximately 4500) at the recent session of the California Legislature, it was found that over 400 bills directly or indirectly aftected the lumber and building industry, according to the report of the Legislative Committee of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association.

These bills fell in the following groups and the number in each group were: Labor 46; Taxes 22;Unemployment 76; Contractors' License 16; Motor Vehicle 25; Ttad'e Practice 8; Compensation 33; Income Taxes 32; Credits 51; Miscellaneous 123.

Amendments were secured in fifteen bills, most of them to provide for labor and material bonds on public works contracts,

The report listed the following in detail which gives a good rpicture of the character of the proposed bills:

A.B. 670-Is the bill allowing the 3 per cent Sales Tax exemption on sales to the Federal Government. This bill passed both houses unanimously and was vetoed by the Governor, but was passed over his veto and is now in effect as of June 12.

A.B. 1017-The prevailing wage scale on prefabrication on public contracts. This bill passed the Assembly and was tabled by Committee of Labor and Capital of the Senate.

A.B. 80, S.B. 1222-Both these bills prohibited sales to governmental agencies without having a working agree'ment with your employee, made by collective bargaining' They were both tabled in Committee.

A.B. 1898, A.B. 189-These two bills proposed to amend the Mechanics Lien Act.

A.B. 1898 amended Section 1186 and defined Visible

Commencement of work. This bill was tabled in Committee.

A.B. 1899 has to do with Section 1187 pertaining to Notice of Completion. A satisfactory amendment was worked out with the author of this bill. It now provides that a Notice of Completion filed by any licensed contractor, whether owner builder or general contractor, anyone furnishing material and wanting to file a lien shall have only thirty days from date of such notice to record their lien. This bill was passed by both houses but has not been signed by the Governor, although it may be.

A.B.ZDz-:this is an administrative and procedural bill of the Unemployment Reserves Commission. Six amendments to the bill were secured and it now provides that in case the Commission has a complaint, they shall file it in the County where the employer has his principle place of business. This bill was signed by the Governor.

A.B. 373-This bill amends Section 921 of. the Labor Code and removes the prohibitions against closed shop contracts. It passed the Assembly, and was tabled in Senate T abor and Capital Committee.

A.B. 167-This was a Wage and Hour Bill and was refused passage in the Assembly by a vote o1.24 to 51.

A.B. nl:this created a little Wagner Act for the State of California. It passed the Assembly, and was tabled by Senate Labor and Capital Committee.

A.B. 748-This bill made certain amendments to the Riley Act that had to do with protection of buildings against earthquake; subjects two-family dwellings .whereever located. The bill was amended at request of civil engineers to make the Field Act apply to private construction. The effect would be to cause all plans for building

to be prepared by an architect or registered engineer. An amendment was secured taking out all reference to the Field Act.

S.B. 186-This was known as the Architects Act and would have prohibited anyone from drawing plans except an architect. The Bill was refused passag'e.

S.B. 1128, A.B. zLn---These were companion bills and set up Compulsory Health Insurance, with another payroll tax of 2 per cent. S.B. 1128 was tabled in Committee.

^.8.2127 was refused passage in the Assembly.

S.B. 542-This bill had to do with personal bonds and provi.ded that any personal bond, before becoming legal, had to be approved by court procedure. There were no exceptions in the bill whatever, and as the material interests were submitting a great many bid and proposal bonds for the furnishing of materials, if this procedure was in efiect, it would force them to secure a surety bond for each and every bid, which would be bothersome and costly to obtain. An amendment was secured making it an exception on bid and proposal bonds. This bill was passed by both houses and is now in the hands of the Governor. The report states that there were no bills passed that affected the industry in a detrimental way.

Chris Totten Boosts \(/ood Sach

Secretary Chris Totten of the Arizona Retail Lumber & Builders Supply Association in a recent bulletin to the Association members reproduced a copy of a letter he wrote to the Valley National tsank of Phoenix after listening to their radio program in which the use of steel sash was stressed, and a copy of their reply.

In his letter Mr. Totten said the radio prpgrams were of great value to the lumber industry, especially those in which the listener is advised to build and repair, but he wondered why it was necessary to sug'gest a particular type or species of material, referring to their suggestion to use steel sash. Steel sash are not made in Arizona, Mr. Totten stated, while on the other hand, wood sash are produced there, and the lumber industry in the state employs literally hundreds of men. He also mentioned the value and lasting qualities of wood sash.

Concluding his letter, he says, "We would be pleased if you find it necessary to merntion, or to suggest to the home owner that he make alterations, you would just say a 'new window' for your ads afe so effective and your institution is so influential that the psychological efiect of your suggestion of steel to a prospective customer is difficult for us to overcome."

In their reply to Mr. Totten, the bank stated they were sorry that this did not come to their attention before, and that hereafter no reference to steel sash will be made in their advertising. They agreed with everything said in Mr. Totten's letter and appreciated his calling the matter to their attention.

Chanses in NFIA E]]ective July 1

Washington, D. C., June 21-For the next two years the building industry may still benefit from the FHA Insured Modernization Loan Plan (Title I), because of new Federal legislation which goes into efiect July l. 1939.

FHA will continue to insure modernization loans made by qualified lending institutions. But the new amendments to Title I of the National Housing Act change several details of the FHA Plan. Industry will probably be most interested in the maximum amount which may be borrowed and in the number of years a loan may run'

The top loan is now $2500. If the loan is to be used for alterations or repairs the longest term is three years. Both limits are in line with present lending practice. If the loan is to be used for constructing a new residential or farm building, the term may be as long as 10 years. This longer term, however, does not apply to loans for other new construction such as garages, wayside stands, etc., which come under the three-year limit.

Another point of interest in the rlew amendments is the insured premium charge G/+% o" modernization loans and Yz% if the loan is used for new residential construction). This charge is to be borne by the lending institution and does not increase the cost of the loan to the borrower. The maximum finance charge remains $5 per $100 for modernization loans and $3.50 per $100 for new residential construction under Title I.

As in the ,past, modernization loans will be available to responsible prospects with good credit standing who wish to fix up their homes by making repairs or certain "permanent" improvements. Renters, as lvell as owners' may modernize on this plan only if they hold sufficiently long leases.

The borrower, of course, must have a regular income in addition to good credit standing, for these loans are "income payment" loans. However, the dealer or workman who contracts for the job is not paid in installments. On the contrary, material and labor are paid for in cash with the proceeds of the loan. The customer repays the lending institution in installments which are figured according to his means. In this way the modernization loan plan can turn many a prospect into a "cash customer."

Having learned this profitable fact from past experience, the building industry is at present busy with a campaignboth through its advertising and its sals5rngn-fo tell the public about Modernization Loans. Many people with adequate incomes still live in homes that are in need of improvements. Others would undoubtedly modernize their property if they were told how the cost could be budgeted conveniently.

Repairs, redecorating, remodeling, landscaping, and various types of permanent installations and built-ins may be paid for with FHA-insured Modernization Loans. In addition, new structures may be built.

A partial list of "eligible" equipment follows. If a specific ruling is desired about any questionable item, the request, preferably accompanied by descriptive, illustrated literature, should be forwarded to the Federal Housing Administration, Washington, D. C.

Eligible Home Equipment: Boilers as a part of the heating system, coal stokers, doors (including storm doors and windows), driveways, fences, heating systems, heat control devices as a part of the system, landscaping, lighting systems, lighting fixtures if a part of the system, linoleum when cemented to the floor, oil burners, plumbing systems, Radiation, if part of the heating system, ventilating systems, walks, water heaters as a part of the water system, water softeners as a part of the water system, wells and cisterns. Built-in: Breakfast nooks, bookcases, cabinets, closets, cupboards, incinerators, laundry chutes, laundry tubs, lightning rods, medicine cabinets, mirrors, ironing boards, shelves, ventilating fans.

Eligible Commercial and Miscellaneous Equipment: Built-in-Air-conditioning systems, ash-removal equipment when part of the heating system, barn pens, bins, booths. burglar-alarm systems, dust collectors, elevators, escalators, fire-alarm systems, fire escapes, fire-hose system (mounted on reels and permanently attached to the water system), sprinkler system, stalls, troughs.

The exclusion of any item or work from this list does not in itself imrply that it is ineligible.

As already mentioned, Modernization Loans may be used for new construction as well as for improvements to buildings which already exist. The new amendments divide Title I loans into three classes:

Class I Loans

A Class I loan may be used to finance the cost of alterations, repairs or improvements upon or in connection with existing structures only. For example:

Repairs-Including carpentry, masonry, electrical and plumbing repairs. This means anything from a crack in the sidewalk to a new roof.

Redecorating-Floors, walls and woodwork can be refinished. New floors can be laid, or "permanent" floor coverings such as tile or cemented linoleum paid for.

Remodeling-Any structural change may be made, such as putting up or removing partitions, building additions, making "ne\iv" rooms out of unused attic or basement space, building porches, su'nparlors, 'etc. The loan may also be used to convert one type of building into another type. For instance, a si.ngle family house could be converted into an apartment.

Modernizing-Cabinets, shelves, and other conveniences may be built in. New plumbing, heating and wiri.ng sys. tems may be installed or old ones modernized. The installation of a septic tank or cesspool, or the drilling of a

Class 1: Alterations or Repairs to or in connection with existing structures

Class 2: Construction of non-residential buildings. (a) Non-agriculturel. O)

well, together with the necessar/ pumpi,ng equipmeht, would also be eligible.

Landscaping-The ground on which the building stands may be improved by grading, laying walks, building fences and planting.

A Class I loan may not be used to finance the cost of completing an unfinished structure. This, however, does not exclude a loan for the repair of a building which has been damaged but not substantially destroyed by deterioration, flood, fire, or other casualty; nor the construction of an attached garage or other attached building in connection with a completed house or other completed building.

Types of buildings which may bet improved with a C'lass I loan are: homes, apartment houses, multiple family houses, hotels, office or other commercial buildings, hospitals, orphanages, colleges, churches, manufacturing and industrial plants' class z

Loans

Loans in this class are for financing new structures which are not used wholly or in part for residential purposes.' These include barns, g'arag'es, service buildings of various types, wayside stands, gasoline stations, tourist cabins and various industrial or commercial buildings.

The cost of the equipment used in the operation of a business occupying the structure may not be included in the loan, but the cost of heating or lighting systems and similar items eligible for Class I loans may be included. For example, if the loan is used to build a gas station, part of the

FRANCIS HANSON ON NEW YORK TRIP

F. G. Hanson, head of the West Coast Screen Co., Los Angeles, left June 11 on a business trip to New York in connection with promotion of sales of the Hollywood door and the buying of new machinery for the plant. He was accompanied by Mrs. Hanson. They will visit the New York World's Fair and will be gone three or four weeks.

loan may be used to install a heating system but not to buy and equip the structure with pumps or other trade equipment.

No part of the loan may be used to purchase land or existing structures, but more than one new structure may be built o.n a single piece of property, if the total amount expended is not more than $2500.

Class 3 Loans

This class is for financing the construction of new buildings which are to be used wholly or in part as residences. Certain minimum requirements must be complied with to assure sound and habitable construction. These apply to any commercial structure, such as a wayside stand, which is used as living quarters for the operators. As in the case of Class 2loans, the loan may be used for new construction only, not for the purchase of land or for equipment other than that eligible under Class I, nor may the loan be used to complete an unfinished structure.

Buidings which may be constructed with a Class 3 loan include vacation cottages, roadside stands which contain living quarters, and other buildings used wholly or in part as residences.

Since almost 9O per cent of the volume of Title I loans made in the past have been Class I loans, it would appear that the majority of prospects are interested in the ordinary run of home repairs and improvements. However, the alert dealer will familiarize himself with all phases of the FHAInsured Modernization Loan Plan.

The entrance door is protected by a sheltering roof, and opens into an area which serves as an entry being markecl by a projecting coat closet.

The living room which is approximately T' x 20' has an air of spaciousness not usually attained in houses of comparable floor area. This is accomplished by added ceiling height, and by the charming orpenness in the direction of the porch. The porch, on account of its well-planned

Answers Attack on Building lndustry

Replying to charges made against the U. S. building industry by John T. Flynn, in the June 17 issue of Collier's, W. C' Bell, chairman of Western Homes Fou,lrdation and managing director of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, today declared that no other American industry has made a better recor.d of recovery from the depression or is contributing more to general business recovery in 1939.

"The building industry, bv which is meant all industry and business groups concerned with building, was hit earlier and harder than any other by the depression," Mr. Bell stated. "It was stalled lo,nger than any other, because of the nationwide demoralization of home financitg. There was a real upswing for most major industries in 1933, but building declined on through 1934. Then home financing was reestablished mainly through the Federal Housing Administration and the Home Owners' Loan Corporation. The amortized home loan replaced the old straight mortgage. In this new financing channel the building industry has surged ahead until now it is the leader of general business recovery.

"What I have outlined is a matter of plain record. The Collier's attack on the building industry is not based on the whole record. Its author, the noted economist, John T. Flynn, takes the role of a prosecutor whose purpose is to make the worst possible case against a defendant. His article is not a study, not a sampling of the many and various conditions and problems of the building industry throughout the nation. Instead, he makes his charges that

the industry is sick, inefficient, reactionary in methods, high in its costs to the consumer, and dominated by racketeering combines, on the basis of selected evidence that is unrelieved by any evidence in the industry's favor.

"That building has its sore spots no one in the industry will deny. But Mr. Flynn in effect denies that there are any healthy spots in U. S. building. He selects an isolated example in California to support his case for the prosecution but makes no rnention whatever of the wonderful building record of Southern California in 1938 and 1939. In Los Angeles alone construction for the first five months of 1939 exceeded $33,000,000, while in the same city a 13year record was broken in the number of building permits for one-family houses for the first five-month span.

"The Flynn article strongly implies that the 23,000 retail lumber dealers of the United States who belong to trade associations have combined for racketeering purposes. What Mr. Flynn knows about the retail lumber business is shown when he describes a Florida retail lumber company doing a business of $150,00O a year as a 'small enterprise,' and as 'one of those little business concerns we hear so much about.' Now, among retail lumber dealers, the concern doing a business of $150,00O a year is not a small enterprise, but a little business concern; it is a long way above the average, particularly in Florida.

"It is curious that Mr. Flynn should have selected the Florida organization of building material dealers as an object of attack. The work of the Flori.da Lumber and Millwork Association is carried on by one rperson, a woman, Marie Bennett, the secretary. She is making a gallant, single-handed effort to build up the Association's membership among the many Florida dealers who belong to no orga.nization. But Mr. Flynn paints a picture of the Florida building material dealers as a monopolistic octopus strangling and devouring the independents of the trade This will be startling news to Marie Bennett.

"The Flynn article states that 'nearly half the home building in the United States is now focused in about three spols, and all of this is construction by the operative

W. C. Bell

builder, the successor to the speculative builder !

"How can Mr. Flynn be so sure in this statement, when current building statistics cover only urban centers with population of more than 10,@0, while coverag'e for cities of less than 25,000 population is very incomplete? Mr. Flynn does not include Los Angeles in his 'three spots,' although this city is second in home building. By describing the operative builder as'the successor to the speculative builder,' Mr. Flynn im,plies that the industry's efiort to provide low-cost small homes on a mass production basis in 1939 is a jerry-building proposition. With today's building codes, F.H.A. requirements and other similar measures generally in efiect, the speculative jerry-built home is practically outlawed. And the record shows that the industry itself has been the main force in outlawing it. I suggest that Mr. Flynn study the record in Detroit and Los Angeles on this point.

"To conclude, let me summarize a few facts to the credit of the United States home-building industry. The record shows:

"That the building industry, in cooperation with the Government, has revolutionized home financing since 1934; that, as a commodity, the 1939 home is superior in every element, from plan to paint, to the l9D home; that the 1939 home is more home for the dollar than the home of 1929; that the cost of lumber and building materials in 1939 is from five to ten per cent lower than the Zl-year average since 1918; that no other major commoditv can be purchased with such a small percentage of the total cost for a down payment; that the home buyer obtains legal ownership with down payment on a home, while the buyer of other products gets only equitable ownership with the down payment; that bankers will make loans for terms as long as 25 years on the 1939 product of the. home-building industry, while five years is considere.d a long loan term for any other generally used product; that home building is a local industry and, leaves more of the price of its product at home than does any other.

"Such are a few of the facts that should have been considered in the Collier's article if the author and the editors had held any purpose of doing justice to the building industry of the United States. It is because it is a decentralized industry, made up of tens of thousands of small local units, that it can be so safely attacked. No other industry has had to advance under the handicap of so much hostile or uninformed propaganda. This propaganda has largely failed because the people in the average American community cannot be made to believe that their friends and neighbors who are retail lumber dealers and building contractors are the racketeers and the mental and moral defectives that Mr. Flynn, Collier's and Company would have the public believe them to be."

subfloor, and 5/16' Plyscord rvall and roof sheathing.

In addition to the unusual rigidity and strength imparted to the structure by Plyscord sheathing, this type of construction, which is an inherent factor in the new Dri-Bilt with plywood building methods, lowers labor costs and building time as compared with conventional sheathing and subflooring.

The outside wall covering is of "Exterior'' ty,pe of Douglas fir plywood, which has firmly established a place for itself where structural quality and ease of application are the requirements. The Exterior plyw,ood, which is trade marked "EXT-DFPA" on the edge of every panel made by mills whose production is inspected by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, is manufacture.d with a permanently waterproof glue, and is suitable for all permanent exterior uses.

A clear stain, lightened with white pigment, with several coats of fine varnish, is the finish used to soften, and yet preserve the natural grain design of the wood on the exterior.

On account of its strength and smoothness, plus the fact that plywood has practically no expansion and contraction, Plyscor.d sheathing makes a fine backing for all materials like tarred lpaper, linoleum or fabrics. With this in mind and in consideration of the huge cotton surpluses, it was deemed appropriate to demonstrate a cotton duck roof covering, bedded onto the Plyscord roof deck1ng.

(standard panel) grades of Douglas fir plywood have been used for all wall and ceiling surfaces. The living room and dinette are smartly styled with bleached, white stained walls worked out in an overlay pattern. The ceiling, which i, %" Plywall painted an ash-white color, is also laid in overlay patterns.

The bath room, kitchen and utility room have had muslin pasted to the Plywall and the surface then given a high gloss enamel.

The front bedroom, with Plypanel walls, has Vee joints between the large panels, and is stained a soft grey-green. The ceiling, which is the Plywall grade, is painted a soft white. The second bedroom has a light-stain ceiling, but the Plywall walls have been papered, illustrating another practical finish for Dri-Bilt interiors.

In all cases the walls and ceiling have been covered with asphalt-saturated building felt, prior to the placing of the plywood. This serves as an economical, highly effective vapor barrier and is on the room, or warm, side of the structuie as recommended by the Forest Products Laboratory. Full insulation is utilized between the ceiling joists.

Lumber dealers, builders and architects are invited to give careful appraisal to House No. 2 on their visits to the New York Fair.
