WHOLESALERS FOR PROPOSAL "C''

The National-American Wholesale Lumber Association believes that Proposal"C", to be voted upon at the coming convention of the National Hardwood Lumber Association at Chicago, merits the favorable consideration of lumber wholesalers for two reasons, viz: l, it is a necessary step on the part of the various interests in their efiort to bring about ah acceptable single standard of inspection, and, Z, that the adoption of the Proposal will be a constructive step in the relations between manufacturers and wholesalers.

fn communicating with the membership of the NationalAmerican Wholesale Lumber Association, president Charles A. Goodman says: "The National-American has always advocated a single universally acceptable standard for hardwood inspection and which, for years, the various interests have sought to actomplish. The result is the new standard rules as set forth in "Proposal C", which are recommended by the Inspection Rules Committee of the National Hardwood Lumber Association, the Hardwood Consulting Committee, and the Central Committee on Lumber Standards, on all of which wholesalers are well represented.

"Defeating this Proposal will not settle the question of gradin-g, but will reopen the whole matter, destroying what we believe to be the most satisfactory result of ydars of cumulative and constructive efiort. I think it would'be most unfortunate to open the door to further agitation, which might result eventually in more radical chariges than those now proposed. The adoption of "Proposal Cr, will dispose of the subject on a basis recognized tb be fair to all, and I believe favorable action will mean another progressive step in promoting the relations between maiufa*ctur.r. arrd wholesalers."
