Many Mifls Reopen-Northwest Strike Seems

Nearer Settfement

With the majority of t{re Northwest sawmills operating July 28, with or witftotrt union sa^trction, and with production and ehipments increasing, the Northwest lumber strike which ended its 12th week July 26 may be said to be definitely nearer settlement.

Eight of Portland's nine major sawmills were operating July 25, when four mills start€d up under :nr agrsement with the union, which provided for a 50 cent an hour minimut nage, 4o-hour week of five consecutive days, no .li.crimination against strildng ecrployes, and employe to get their old jobs 6ack.

At Tacoma, operatorE of 17 mills rurudng under National Guard protection reported 2076 men at wo,rk on July 26; longshoremen are still refusing to load lumber from these mills. ft is estimated that 500 men were working in nine small plants under union agreements. Gang violence to persons and property still continued to characterize the Tacoma etrike situation. Many of the victims are not connected widh the lumber induetry.

At Longview 350O men were reported at work in the mills and camps luly 2O, with conditions approaching normal. Longshoremen started loading lumber laly 2O.

At Seattle all plants were operating with one exception July 26. Elliott Bay Mill Company started a third shift July 28. More than 1000 men were worLing in the various plants.

At Everett eight mills reopened July 15 under a similar plan to the Portland agreement Longshoremen statted loading lumber July 22. Veyerhaeuser mill at Everett added a night shift July 23. State ofrcers were withdt*n luly 23.

At Grays Harbor the mills continue to opaete under protection of the National Guard. Disorders and beatings continue to be repo,rted, but in spite of these the number of men employed shows a steady gain. Longshorernen refuse to handle lumber.

Union lumber and plywood workers at Olympia voteA 759 to 49 on luly 25 to return to wot*,. Three ply*""d plants opened immediately and all were operating laly 28. About 120O men were afrected.

.At Villapa Flarborr'VZaoh., union ruorkerc voted 54E to l9g against acceptance bf inoporcd working agr€efireht drawn up by ctate nrediators, uniJn liaders and errrployets. The agree-

mont was substantially the same as thooe now in effect at otfier Northwest lumber centers.

DOUGLAS FIR.-The Vest Coast Lumbermen's Associa. tio'n reported for 211 dorryn and opemting mills fo,r the wleel< ended luly 2O production of 59,817256 f,eet" approximately 10r0001000 feet ovet the ptevious week, ot about 2O per cent Twelve Vestern Vashington mills went into production dudng the period.

V. G. Flooring and No. 4 Flooring, ceiling and rustic continue to be scarce with prices firm. Common prices arc a litde npaker due to larger supply.

V/ESTERN PINE.--4. Selects and lst and 2nd Clear Ponderoaa Pine prices :rre up $1.00 per M. There is a genetil advance in practically all gradcs of Sugar Pine of from 50c to f3.00 per M.

New business totaling 501716,000 f,eet, 19 lr€r cent greatet t{ran the previous week, was reported by the Western Pine Association for the week ended laly 13.

REDWOOD.-The mills are ta&ing advantage of t{re summer'lull to improve their broken stocks. Prices are fimr.

SHINGLES.-Union shingle workers in various Northwest centers have approved an agreement that scts up an arbitra. tion board to handle future disputes. The majority of the shingle mills are gtilt closed, and production of Red Cedar chingles is therefore limited.

Redwood shingle production has been increased, but owing to shortage of Red Cdar shingles is only enough to supply the California demand.

Attractive Hardware Display

_ Walt-er Spicer of the Bay District Lumber Co., Newport Beach, has a novel arrangement for handling hardware. This department occupies one section of the office which contains a wall case ,consistiag of individual drawers with a sample of each item and the price on the face of the drawer. This makes an attractive. display, and by having the prices shown, Walter says, it helps to increase his haidwarelales.

He recently installed a sand, gravel and rock bunker at. his .plant and is now ready to make deliveries '.ready mixed."

V.gabond Editorials

Bv Jock Dionne

I'd really like to know whether or not men get the same kick-back from the printed word that they do from the spoken word. If I thought they DID I would quit mentioning the New Deal in this column entirely. 'f{.*

It's getting so the men I talk to on the subject almost have spasms, conniption fits, or whatever the worst thing is a man can have, just at the mention of it. Looks to me like most business men are going to have to cut that topic from their oral diet, just to protect their own health.

If you pass a couple ", O*tr"* men who are engaged in conversation, and their fists are doubled up, their eyes popping out, their faces red, and they look like apoplexy is about to mow them down; you don't need to ask what they are talking about. It's a cinch. ti,F*

The news is being heralded from Washingt_on continually of late that "organized business" is bitterly opposing the New Deal. I don't know so much about what ..organized" business thinks, but what INDMDUAL business men say just cannot be printed.

***

Now just between us girls, isn't that a Hell of a condition to be prevalent just at this time? Business slugging away at the New Deal. The New Deal apparently slugging just as hard at business. And, this in the name of ,,Recovery." ***

Were Madam de Stael here now, well she might change her famous remark to say: "Oh, Recovery! What crimes are committed in thy name !" {.*!k

Four billion dollars is starting to flow for the declared purpose of putting 3,500,000 men to work for a year. The intent is that at the end of the year those men rnust have been absorbed into private industry.

rl. rl. ,1.

Just how is that going to be accomplished with business and the New Deal at swords points? And, if it DOESN'T lvork out, and at the end of the year the four billion is gone and those men HAVE NOT been drafted into private employment - - then what?

r shudder to think "f t; ;";r.

My personal opinion is that a large majority of those men WILL be employed by private industry in the next year, in spite of the battle that rages. Men are going to work every day now in gainful and useful jobs. And, that progress will accelerate. Ending NRA put lots of men to work. Ending AAA would do the same. And THAT looks doomed. ***

But what makes me cry is that the progress COULD be so much more rapid, so v€r/r very easily. If we would just quit thinking of new schemes, new laws, new reforms, new experiments, and let this blessed land alone for a little while, it would get well so fast it would scare you.

We wouldn't simply GET well. We would simply wake up and discover that we ARE well. Fear is the thing that holds us back. Fear of new rules, new laws, new experiments, new ways of wasting money, new taxes, new bureaus, new invasion of private business and private affairs.

Take care of the worthy on relief rolls. Purge those rolls of the army that doesn't belong there. Start reducing rather than increasing Government fingers in business. Start acting just like people and Government used to act. This country is O. K. All it needs is a chance to prove it. The cripple will never know whether he has recovered or not if they never take the braces off. Business would employ all the employable people in less than no time. * rt rl

'We're ready for a boom in this country. *,f*

Surely the Saturday Evening Post remark quoted in this column the other day to the effect that "this country is divided into two classes, those who want something for nothing and those who don't $'ant to give it to them," is gospel true. The other day there was a meeting of cotton people in New Orleans. The GROWERS WHO GET PAID FOR NOT GROWING cotton, praised AAA. The rest of the industry denounced it. Those on the payroll are for it. Those who have to pay the bill, whose businesses they say are being wiped out, whose jobs are at stake-they denounce it. And, so it goes.

I don't want anyone to get the idea that I have the least objection to taxing over-sized incomes with over-sized

taxes. Not at all. A man who makes a million dollars a year should pay one whale of a tax.

The elepharrtirr" irr"o',rl ;Ju be taxed to the exact point where the tax may be collected without rnaking the owner of the income quit trying to produce. Of course, if you confiscate all he makes, he simply gets him a fishing pole, digs a can of bait, goes fishing, and lets the income slump. Few men possess patriotism to a degree that inclines them to strive, and worry, and work, and sweat just to create taxes. There may be those kind of men, but they haven't been discovered yet.

England has decided that over-sized incomes must pay through the nose. fnheritance taxes surpass anything in history. Three deaths in a succession of inheritors in fifty years wipes out an estate in Engtand today. Think of that !

I am NOT socialistic. Every fiber of my nature cries oqt against the folly of socialism. But I DO wish it could be so arranged that every boy be given a chance to go out in the world and make his tiving. I wish that for the sake of every boy; for the sake of .that generation of human society which that boy must play a part in.

rt{<*

To my mind any man who has never had the privilege of being turned adrift in a strange town, without either push or pull of any sort, and with one change of shirts and a five dollar bill in his pocket, and left to meet the challenge of the world-has been denied a pt'ecious heritage. For only in such fashion can quatity fiber be truly built.

And, if there is any doubt in your mind that such ex_ perience is needed to build strength and quality and use_ fulness, look about you at the boys from wealthy families who have NOT had that opportunity. you can find your answer there.

One satisfaction the *J"nil**roung man of today has, and that is the certain knowledge that when a child is born who is fated to write his name .upon the deathless scroll of eternity it is a thousand to one he will come in a cottage, rather than a mansion.

Greatness must not *i, ; J*rr-it must be guided- it must be actually buitded. The fames that temper character into greatneSs and fan the latent spark of genius

into living fire, are mighty scarce these days in the homes of our so-called "better classes." Never before were we so busy raising and training megalomaniacs and morons.

Great men and women of the future bid fair to be scarce. Laziness and snobbery produce only human weeds. If men and women are'to come with minds and deeds to emblazon future generations, they must come-as they have in the past-from people who strive; for striving tempers and strengthens and builds both brain and sinew.

Philosophers have often said that whenever God has great work to be done, IIe creates a galaxy of great men to do them. Then all I've got to say is, He must not consider our problems of today very serious.

George Ley, president of the Council, presided. Harry A. Lake, Garden Grove, president of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association, attended the meeting.

S. F. \Tholesaler Likes Hard Orders

The office of James L. Hall, San Francisco, although regular suppliers of creosoted and untreated piling, poles and lumber, as well as Port Orford Cedar, likes to tackle tough orders.

For the U. S. Bombing Base at Hamilton Field, Marin County, they recently supplied a butt treated Red Cedar radio pole, 120 feet long. For the San Francisco-Oakland bridge they are supplying over 600 Douglas Fir piling, 90 to l1O feet long.

The producing and delivering of these long pieces is a highly specialized work in which this office has been active for years.

Call on Customers by Air Route

John C. McCabe, A. F. Mahony & Co., San Francisfo, was the guest of George Gorman, sales manager of Hammond Lumber Company, San Francisco, on a 400-mile business trip by airplane July 12, with George piloting the plane.

They left San Francis.co Bay Airdrome, Alameda, in the morning. Calls were made on yards at Dos Palos, Los Banos, Firebaugh, Madera and Fresno, and the two air travelers were back in time for dinner at home. They reported a most enjoyable trip, both commenting on the absence of fatigue, the cleanliness, comfort and speed of this modern method of travel.

Referendum on Chain Store Tax

Circulation of petitions for a referendum on the California chain store tax began July 23. The Cronin-M,cMurray chain store tax bill was signed by Governor Merriam July 20.

This tax affe,cts lumber yards and starts at one dollar for a single yar.d or store, increasing progressively for the second and additional stores up to $500.00 for each store over nine.

If the necessary signatures are obtained by September 14 the referEndum will be placed on the ballot of the next general election in 1936.

Pending a vote on the issue by the people the tax will not be effective.

Shingle Bureau Activities Endorsed

The executive committee of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association at a meeting recently held at Chicago adopted a resolution endorsing the activities of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, and urged the Association members to cooperate in every way Dossible with the Bureau to secure a better distribution through retail lumber dealers.

Attention is drawn to the completeness of detail and exactness of proportions of all the model homes in the group. The entire setting has a suburban atmosphere and shows every possible style of ar'chitecture in home design, with all possible combinations of wood constru,ction.

Almost An Accident

They were building a brick wall. It was up about three stories high, and the customary group of idlers were standing about in the street, watching the job go up, the materials go up the hoist, and the skill with which the bricklayers piled them up. One tall, lazy-looking darkey edged up fairly close to the new wall. F'or the moment he was watching the wheel-barrow rnen below load the hoist with bricks. And just then a brick slipped from the hand of

the brick-layer at the top of the wall, and the crourd gasped as they saw it strike this colored boy right smack on top of the head.

Then they saw him raise his eyes and glare banefully at the offending worker above. "Ca'eful, Big Boy, ca'eful !" warned the injured one. "Look whut you doin' wid dem bricks ! YOU MADE ME BITE MAH TONGUE !"

THE TO\TN \TITS

Jack Dionne Has Collected 3500 Stories of AU Models and Ages

He's Not Only in a Class by Himself as a'Story Tellet but in Another School; He Doesn't Teff His Yarns, He Lives Them. Magter of Dialect and Style-Has Practiced Ad 29 Yearc

By PAUL HOCHULI Reporter for The Precr

Whenever story tellers get together, whether in the pullman smoker, drawing room or at the banquet table, at least one of the yarn spinners will start off with "Here's one that I heard Jack Dionne tell."

Instantly he gains the attention of the entire company, because when it comes to telling stories, Jack Dionne is not only in a class by himself, he just belongs to another s,chool.

Perhaps the term "telling stories" is rather misleading in Mr. Dionne's case. He does what you might call "live" them, and never delivers one in the sense of a parrot flinging back words he heard someone else say before him.

Born with a sense of humor and a natural ability to twist his tongue around any dialect, Mr. Dionne just couldn't help being a teller of tales.

He's been at it for D years and has 3500 stories of all models and ages. No one else can say more truly "that reminds me of a story" when some situation comes up, because Mr. Dionne knows them all.

For 13 years he's been toastmaster at the annual Communitv Chest banquet and many is the egg that grows cold while its owner forgets to eat, listening to him mix humor and business.

Collection of 3500

"Twenty-nine years ago," Mr. Dionne said, "I found I had a natural flair for telling stories, so I just started telling them. I started keeping a,collection and every story I heard I wrote dorvn, revising a bit here and there, until now I have 3500 of them. I like to tell stories and people know I like good ones and I get many new ones each year.

"However, you'd be surprised how folks like the old ones. Many times I get repeated requests for stories I have told many times."

Mr. Dionne has re'clined at the feet of two men he considers the gods of story telling, imbibing the knowledge of how a story should be put across.

One was a doctor in San Francisco. He was Dr. Jack Shields, a heart specialist who, ironically enough, died of heart trouble. '

Other Is Oklahoman

The other is George Walker, an Oklahoma resident.

"They were the best I have ever heard," Mr. Dionne said, and that's really a compliment coming from the man who is recognized the country over as the best.

"They didn't resort to wisecracks for the humor of their stories. They told stories and a real story teller is as scarce as hard refreshments at a W.C.T.U. convention. The real story tellers of the nation can be counted on the fingers of one hand."

One of the best ways in the world to ruin a story is to start off "f 'can't imitate the dialect, but anyway here's the story." Mr, Dionne never has to say that. I{e's a master of them all, including the Scandinavian.

Negro Tales Favorites

Negro stories, however, he finds are the favorites of the South and he has a host of them. As a matter of fact. he has collected a book of them, called Cullud Fun, and tells many on his Texas radio hookup from Dallas every Friday night. He also is writing another book to be called Lotsa Fun, a collection of his best.

The best Negro story he ever heard con.cerns the doings of one Monroe.

It seems that Monroe, a ragged short-time resident o{ Memphis, was shuffling down the street wishing he could ride a street car. He had never ridden one because Monroe never had any money. As he walked along his foot struck something and he discovered a purse containing $2.85, more cash than he had ever seen before.

IVlonroe looked around cautiously and then took the money and threw the purse away.

He hopped the first street,car that came by.

Named for Presidents

Now it seems that the vicinity served b1' that particular car had streets named for the presidents of the United States.

Let Monroe tell his own story:

"De man on ,de back o' dat cah mus' know evervbodv in Memphis. Yassuh. IIe mus' a' knowed 'em, beiuz hi called dey names when it cum time fo' dem t'git off. Fust he calls 'Washin'ton' and sho nuff, Mr. Washin'ton git off. Den he stick his haid in and say 'Jeffe'son' and Mr. Jeffe'son leave de cah.

Jack Dionne

"I sez to mahself dat dat man cain't put me off 'cuz de ain't nobody in Memphis knows mah nime and caint tell him and Ah's goin' t' ride jest as far as Ah kin.

"Next he hollahed 'Jackson' and Mis' Jackson and huh little boy gits off.

Shouts "Monro€"

"Den he sti.cks his haid in agin and shout 'Monroe.' An' Ah say Ah don'know how you find mah name but Ah gits out of the cah and it goes ofi without me.

"Ah's standin' 'dere on the cawnuh won'erin' what Ah do nex' when a big auto comes up with two white men in it.

"'Boy, is dis Monroe?'he say and Ah say'Yassuh, dis is Munroe.'

"An he sez to me, 'Ah'm lookin' for TWO EIGHTYFIVE,' and I reches fo' mah pocket, en sez, 'Mah Gawd, dese white folks sho is smaht'."

Another Negro classic is the short story about a big man and little man arguing over a girl at a dance.

"Am Ah Right?"

The big Negro pulled himself up to his full height and said: "Dis is mah dance. Am Ah right?"

The little Negro bowed to the inevitable but rvas bitter about it.

"Big Boy," he said, "Ah ain't saying you ain't right. But Ah's sayin' dat if you wus 12 inches shawtah you'd be wrong as lfell."

Mr. Dionne has told stories from the rock-ribbed 'coast of Maine to the sun-kissed shores of California. from Canada to the Gulf, but he still clings to the story of the Louisiana plantation owner and his first trip to the opera, as the best he has ever heard or told.

This planter lived in the Sugar Bowl and had taken his refined sugar to New Orleans to sell. He had barged it dorvn the river and had taken his little daughter, Marie, with him for the first time.

Eager for Sights

Naturally Marie was all eyes when the s'cow tied up at the foot of Canal street and was eager to see the sights.

They were walking along the streets when Marie saw an advertisement of the opera Rigoletto. She begged to go see it as she knew the music by heart, having heard it played at home.

Grand opera meant nothing to this simple Cajun, but he loved his daughter and wanted her to have a good time, so he agreed.

However, when he reached the box office and found the prices ranged from $2.50 to 50 cents, he sort of backed down and wanted to get two SGcent seats in the top ring. Marie. however, objected and a'compromise was reached in which Marie sat in a $2 seat and her father, who was just going along to keep an eye on Marie, in a four-bit one.

The old man had never seen an opera, but when the story of the hunchback who seeks revenge on a nobleman for ruining his sister was gradually unfolded, he became intensely interested. He became the hunchback's hen'chman and lived his scenes with him, forgetting the rvorld about him. Raises Knife

As the story wore on, the hunchback raised his knife on high and screamed, "Revenge, Revenge."

The old man decided he better see how Marie was getting along in the midst of tragedy and called, "Marie, Xlfarie," to her.

"Shh, father," came her answer from the $2 circle.

The father dropped ba,ck into his seat and soon was enveloped in the story again.

Finally came the great climax and the Cajun, in his mind. was by the side of the hunchback as he looked into the window of a mountain cabin where the high-stepping duke was singing to another young girl.

The innocent maid also was singing and on the side of the stage the entire troupe was gathered raising their voices in song. In the pit the or'chestra blared forth a great volume of music. The hunchback grasped his knife and the tension r,vas intense. The Cajun was almost beside himself with excitement.

Storm Breaks

Right in the middle of all this drama a great stage storm broke. Lightning flashed, thunder rolled and then the stagehands turned loose the rain, and it looked like real water drenching the actors.

Then clear as a bugle above all this rang out the voice of the father. "Marie. Marie."

Marie was horrified and called, "Shh, father, shh."

But the old man was not to be downed this time.

"No, Marie," he said. "it is not to shush. Stay where you are until I return. I must go to ze levee and 'cover up ze sugaire. Ze storm eez too bad, you know."

Get him to tell it, the next time Mr. Dionne is on the program. You'll be rewarded by being rolled in the aisle.

THOUGHTS FROM CARLISLE, THE GREAT THINKER

"So ii has been frorn the beginning, so it will be to the end. Generation after generation takes to itself the form of Body; and forth-issuing from Cimmerian Night on Ffeaven's rnission appears. What Force and Fire is in each, he expends: one grinding the mills of industry; one hunterlike climbing the giddy Alpine heights of science; one madly dashed in fieces on the rocks of Strive, in war with his fellows; and then the Heaven-sent is recalled; his earthly vesture falls away, and soon even to sense becomes a vanished Shadow.

"Thus, like some wild-flaming train of Heaven's Artillery, does this mysterious mankind flutter and flame, in longdrawn, quick-succeeding grandeur, through the unknown Deep. Thus, like a God-created, fire-breathing, spirit-host, we emerge from the inane; haste stormfully across the astonished Earth; then plunge again into the inane.

"Earth's mountains are levelled, and her seas filled up in our passage; can the Earth, which is but dead and a vision, resist spirits which have reality and are alive ? On the hardest adamant sorne foot-print of us is stamped-in; the last Rear of the host will read traces of the earliest Van. But whence? O Heavens, whither? Sense knows not; Faith knows not; only that it is through Mystery to Mystery, from God to God.

"We are such stuff As dreams are made of And our little life fs rounded with a sleep."

On July 3, 1890, he was married to Lillie Fergu5on. Mrs. Mulholland died April 28, 1915. He is survived by two sons and three daughters: Perry and Thomas Mulholland of Los Angeles; Miss Ruth Mulholland of Los Angeles, with whom he made his home; Mrs. Ronalcl Mack of San Francisco, and Mrs. Ruth Wood of New York.
