On Thursday, September 21 three meetings were held in Los Angeles at which the housing bill was upermost as a topic of discussion. Members of the Los Angeles Lumberm6n's Exchange met in Secretary Ricldiford's office in the r.norning.

Mulgrew, publibity director for the California liumbermen's committee in charge of the fight throughout the state, and Peter B.

WIIITING SAYS IYIISR,EPR'ESENTATION AND -PNN.IUOICE CAUSE ANTI-SIIINGLE LEGISLATION

R. S. Whiting, secretary of the Shingle Br-anch of- the West Coast I.,ui'bermen's association at Seattle, has been in California for the last 10 days acquainting himself with conditions in the anti-shingle campaign and meeting with local lumbermen generallY.

Mr. 'Whiting has been East all Summer and has not been at his home in Seattle since June 15. IIe has attended meetings in scores of places where anti-shingle legislation was pr"oposed and by his forceful appeal-and his logical presentai.ioo of the lumbermen's interests, has prevented' the adoption of hostile legislation in many places and secured its repeal in others.

i'Wh.o the case of red ced.ar and redwood shingles is properly understood. we have no trouble," says Mr' Whiting- i'Bot too often the shingle facts have been misrepresented' so that a prejudiee has grown up against their use. It is this prejutlice that we have been trying to overcome.

"f find that most people, in building a home, want to use shingles on the sitlewalls or on the roof, or both. Attd certainly no legal restrictions should be thrown in their way if thev want to use them in strictly residence distriets'"

Mr. Whitins attended. the meeting of the directors of the California I.,,uhbermen's association in San Francisco.
