Gorman, George W.
San Francisco, Sept. 28.-At a late hour this evening announcement was made by Edward F. McGrady, Assistant Secretary of Labor, that some progress has been made in the conference held here yesterday and today by the Pacifi'c Coast committee of the Waterfront Employers' Association and the district executive ,comrnittee of the International Longshoremen's Association, with Mr. McGrady and E. P. Marsh and E. H. Fitzgerald, Labor Department conciliators, in a last minute effort to avoid the threatened waterfront tie-up October 1.
Tentative agreements, he said, had been reached on two points in dispute, with many other points remaining to be dis.cussed. He expressed hope, however, that an agreement would be reached that would result in peace.
Anxious to avert a marine union strike which would tie up the nation's seaports, President Roosevelt announced the appointment of the new Federal maritime commission on September 23. Members of the maritime commission prepared for a conference with President Roosevelt on September 30.
Negotiations between the Waterfront Employers' Asso,ciation and International Longshoremen's Association leading to modifi'cation of the 1934 arbitration award began in San Francisco on August 25. The negotiations ltecame deadlocked due to the refusal of the longshoremen to submit disputed points to arbitration until the question had been put to a referendum vote of the members of the I. L. A., Pacific Coast district. The unions began balloting on September 14, the votes being counted at Seattle, September 18. The longshoremen voted 9i per cent against arbitration of their working agreement dispute with the employers.
Issues whi'ch had not been settled by negotiations include conflicting demands on wag'es, control of hiring, and other modifications of the 1934 award.
Convinced that a complete break with the I. t. A. inevitable, the employers on September 24 announ,ced ,conditions under which longshoremen will be employed when the 1934 award expires on September 30.
At present longshoremen receive 95 cents per hour for
straight time and $1.40 for overtime. Under the new ofier, longshoremen will receive $1 for straight time and $1.50 for overtime. The men will work an eight-hour day except on Saturday when straight time will be counted between 8 a.m. and 12 noon. Sundays and recognized holidays will 'count as overtime.
Other stipulations of the offer were:
"1. All hiring will be direct at the piers, until such time as the hiring hallscan be re-established by agreement.
"2. Preference will be given in employment to all men now registered at hiring halls.
"3. All work must be performed as directed, ,consistent with conditions not inimical to health or safety of the employes and to the satisfaction of the employers."
The employers said that the conditions are based snbstantially on the recently negotiated New York agreement. The unions state they will fight for the hiring halls and will refuse to ,report at the docks.
At a conlerence between the Waterfront Employers' Association and the I. L. A. at San Francis'co on Saturday, September 26, the I. L. A. announced it would refuse to consider further negotiations unless the employers agreed to accept a 1S-day extension of present agreements.
To which the employers replied:
"There is no assurance that negotiations could be completed in that time. The employers were willingto agree to a 3Gday extension if the I. L. A. would agree that all proposals of the union and the employers, not settled by agreement, would be submitted to arbitration.
"The f. L. A. pointed outthat arbitration of the employers' proposal has already been rejected.
"The employers requested that both sides immediately proceed to negotiate both day and night in spite of the disagreement relating to the proposed extension in the hope that a settlement be reached. The I. L. A. refused negotiations unless the ,employers agreed to an extension beyond Sept. 30 on the I. L. .\.'s terms."
With midnight, September 30, the "zero hour" when the present agreements expire, heavy cargoes moved into coastal ports the closing days of the month with operators rushirrg loading and unloading operations to clear ships.
CARSTENITE is a new decorative interior panel developed to meet the demands of modern design for a broad, fat or curved all wood surface. ft consists of thin wood bonded to a hardwood fibre back with a resin adhesive, made under hot-plate process which is IOO/g waterprroof.
CARSTENITE offers real wood at its best. The hardwood faces have been selected from the world's forests, theteby making it available in ptactically any wood face.
CARSTENITE is economical because of low first cost, simplicity of application, elimination of lath, plaster and decorating when applied directly to studding, and inexpensive finishing and mainte. nance.
CARSTENITE is easy to install. ft can be readily nailed to wood supports, furring, joists or studding, or it can be glued direct to a plastered surface.
CARSTENITE is available in stock size,4'x4' to 4'xl2', and in standard thickness of t/4'. Panels l/l(',1/{' and,3/ld' are also available. Exclusive

The outstanding matter affecting the lumber industry of the nation as this is written, is the labor situation on the Pacific Coast. By the time this is published the world will know whether or not there will be another great strike along the waterfronts of the West. ***
The agreements under which shipping has been operating on the Coast expire on September 30th. Asthis is written there seems little hope of new agreements. The unions have already voted 96/o agunst arbitration of such matters as the shipowners and the labor unions cannot settle. Which vote would seem to render futile any hope of new agreements being arrived at by the expiration date of the present ones.
In anticipation of this situation the lumber industry which ships by water or is affected by water shipments, has been working with frenzied earnestness for the past several weeks. If there is a general tie-up of lumber carrying ships it will be tremendously serious. So everyone has been stocking up with lumber as fast as possible in the consuming and distributing territories; and the shippers and shipowners have been hustling day and night to get everything unloaded that can be by the last day of September.
Lumber shipments by water from the Northwest to California, to theAtlantic seaboard, and to foreign markets will be directly afrected; likewise imports of lumber into Pacific Coast ports from the East and from the Philippines. If water shipments become paralyzed the water-shipping
mills of the Northwest will be forced to close very shortly; likewise loggers and other affected departments.
Naturally, with so huge a volume of lumber affected, every lumber district of the country will soon feel the fects if the boats stop hauling. All eyes are turned toward the negotiators who are working in hope of arriving at some solution that will keep the boats running.
This labor trouble affects every boat operating in and out of Pacific Coast ports, big and little, great and small. The lumber boats are, of course, only a small group in the huge set-up. There are between seventy and eighty boats engaged exclusively in handling lumber between mills and the California markets alone. Then lumber is shipped on the larger boats from Pacific ports to the Atlantic and Gulf ports, and to all parts of the lumber consuming world. The big ocean liners will be just as thoroughly affected.
To say that the situation is tense along the Pacific Coast doesn't begin to do justice to the matter. It is the sole topic of conversation in the lumber industry and the shipping industry. In California, where a high building tide is rising, it is a matter of huge importance to the lumber dealer whose source ofsupply at a time when he is doing the best business in years, is threatened. ***
Appointment of a Federal Commission to handle the situation and prevent a tie-up of Coast shipping is one of the suggestions being publicized at the present moment.

It would be day habitations will be torn down, real estate will come indifficutt to overestimate how serious it might become with to its own again, rents will be high to pay for the rent all the radical elements in evidence on the Coast at the losses of recent years. present time.

Likewise in California. During the present month a big steamship company discharged a common seaman. They claimed good cause for so doing. The entire crew walked out and tied up the vessel. Scores of passengers and worlds of United States mail were held at the docks in San Francisco for six days. It cost the steamship company a fortune before they finally made arrangements to get their ship under way. That will give you a rough idea of the position in which employers find themselves.
{<*{<
Building generally increases. Plenty of wise men in this country believe that a genuine boom in real estate throughout the nation, is inevitable in the next few ye.rrs. With
Look for cooperation. you won't be disappointed when you buyyour Redwood from
There will be a building shortage before long, all over the country. People living in rented houses and apartments will be obliged to buy and build homes because of the very difficulty of finding suitable habitations. The boom will last for a number of years, regardless. Many things may happen to lengthen or shorten it, but it should be of sufficient duration to atone for conditions since 1929.
Plenty of people -rrn ,rL"l,lo ,r,.,"". will again turn to real estate for investment purposes, particularly people who are afraid of the infation bugaboo. Such people will prefer titles to real estate than bonds or mortgages. And erecting income buildings on such property will be the natural thing to follow.
Real estate will get too high. The public will cry aloud that real prop€rty is the soundest and best of all investments. And that will be a good time for the wise man to do some selling, for popular clamor will raise prices above sensible levels. Most building booms create their own volume, like the proverbial snowball.
t<t<*
But the important thing is that we appear to be facing another building boom and real estate boom in this country. And that will be the opportunity for the building material people to use their best judgment, and by so doing make up for the terrific beating they have taken during the years of depression. Every step out of depression is ITSELF an added cure for what is left of the depression. These things become automatic.
*t<*
If it were not for the labor trouble that apparently looms on the horizon from one ocean to the other, our emergence from depression would seem to be absolutely certain, and the approach of boom times would appear to be immediate and inevitable. Remember, every depression in history has been followed by a high tide of prosperity; the worse the depression the better the times that follow. If we are not submerged in labor troubles, business conditions are going to soar. Every employable man can easily be returned to genuine employment at good wages within the next six
months. We have help shortages all over the country right now'
Business today is good. It could easily become twice as good. Fear still keeps billions of private money and credit in seclusio,n; fear of various sorts and of various things. But as I said before, a boom feeds on itself and grows great because of its own accumulation. And every day we see signs of better times, in spite of all these fears.
And now, in various p"lo*or thi, "o.rrrtry we find business men facing prosecution from the Federal government apparently for doing the exact things that this same Government forced them under threat of severe penalties to do just a couple of years ago. When NRA came along it was, for the most part, forced upon business men. The average man hated it. Numerous business men resisted strenuously before they placed themselves under its edicts. The pressure was great enough so that most of them eventually bowed to the seeming inevitable, and hooked up their businesses with the codes. Then the NRA was killed. but we heard preached the word that its good work should nevertheless continue. Yet today we find business interests being attacked in the courts apparently for continuing to do the things, or some of them, that the same Government that now proposes to prosecute them, compelled them to install into their business programs. Funny world, isn't it?

Three boys sat talking about their respective fathers. They got to bragging a little. To every boy his father is a hero, thank God. One was the son of a doctor, another of a lawyer, the third of a preacher.
"My dad sure makes big pay," said the doctor's son. "Yesterday he cut a hole in a guy's tummy just about an inch long and took out his appendix, and he got five hundred dollars for doing it, and it only took him half an hour."
Leo G. Opsahl, general sales manager of The Red River Lumber Company, returned to Westwood September 7 after a two month's trip covering various markets and the Red River regional offices. His route eastward to New York and New England was through the Northern States and his return through the Central States and Middle West.
Mr. Opsahl was very optimistic as to conditions effecting lumber sales. "In every section I visited," he said, "the lumber market is strong and the feeling is general that the demand is growing. Building is active, particularly in the classifications where the percentage of lumber consumption is greatest and the market increase in all lines of manufacture is already reflected in the demand for industrial lumber."

I returned from a trip around the world with a lively appreciation of the accident of birth that made America my vineyard, not so much for material advantage as for the blessings of comparative freedom. Contact with the Old World, even as fleeting as that offered by the fourmonth tour, gives the American an astonishing new comprehension of the glib phrase "modern civilization."
One comes to know that the millenium is not just around the corner but most of the world, in point of territory, and also population, is primitive-nearly unchanged during the centuries that have witnessed the rise of the few great, progressive, free, grand nations. Indeed, one comes poignantly to understand that the savior of the world, in a material sense at least, is not yet come.
The yawning divisions of civilization, through ignorance, egotistic provincialism, crazed caste, class, clan, tribe and group, particularly the nationalistic and religious fanaticism, grind and clash on every side, and the rarest elements are intelligent toleration and a spirit of human brotherhood.
On the inexpressibly beautiful, wonderful, bounteous terrestial sphere, and on the blue green waters that reflect the rainbow, the fashing dolphin in flight, the moon and stars by night, and the overhanging island palms and rocks, by day, "only man is vile."

"One of the finest wood products that I have ever seen is 'Carstenite,' made by the Algoma Plywood & Veneer Company of Algoma, Wisconsin," said lfomer Maris of the Maris Plywood Company, San Fran,cis,co, exclusive Northern California distributor forthis material recently.
"'Carstenite' is made from hardwood veneer glued under hot-plate pro,cess with phenol resin to a hardwood fibre back, making it 1@ per cent waterproof.
"It is available in more than 60 varieties of hardwood fa,ces, including gray harewood, tigerwood, zebrawood, curly red birch, bird's-eye maple, teak, French walnut, avodire, prima vera, bubinga, etc.
- "A job in whi,ch tigerwood 'Carstenite' was used that has attracted a lot of attention and called forth much favorable comment is the new automobile display room of the J. tr. French Company, on Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco.
"Any desired paneling or wainscoting effect may be obtained with 'Carstenite,' which brings the ,cost of fine wood interiors within the price range of economical wall construction. Finishing is extremely simple. These panels may be given a lacquer, varnish, shellac or wax treatment, or they may be given a water stain without danger of opening the face joints or endangering the glue bond."
October 1, the Coos Bay Lumber Co. will move its Los Angeles office to the company's new lumber terminal at Wilmington where they have erected a new office building, dock and distributing yard.

Harold Knapp, general sales manager o.f The Celotex Corporation, has announced the 1O Point Life-of-Ruilding Guarantee on Celotex cane fibre. insulating board which became effective September 15.
In making the announcement, Mr. Knapp said: "We are building our Fall merchandising,campaign around Guaran. teed Insulation. This ,campaign, whi.ch bids fair to be the most powerful in the history of Celotex will not only build confiden'ce in insulation but increased demand for Celotex dealers. It is the culmination of 15 years of experience during which time Celotex has performed so well that \.vd now confidently offer a guarantee in writing covering 10 points important to home and farm construction. Most important among these are the statements, Celotex is guaranteed to maintain insulating efficiency for the life of the building, and Celotex is guaranteed to give lasting fuel economy. These points are followed by eight others which comprise a written contract issued to the owner by us."
The national advertising campaign announ'cing the 10 Point Life-of-Building Guarantee includes advertisements in national magazines, and leading architectural prrblications. The farm market will be informed of this guarantee through ads in leading farm magazines, and ads in building material magazines will ,carry the story to contractors, builders, and dealers. To tie the campaign in with the dealers, they announce a new window transfer, a new embossed metal four-color yard sign, and a new job sign, all featuring Guaranteed Insulation.
The new literature in'cludes a 16-page book titled "What the Celotex 10 Point Life-of-Building Guarantee Means to You," and a 2&-page book titled "Facts You Should I{now About fnsulation." The former is for consumer distribution, the latter is for dealer's use.
Other dealers' helps include a series of 3 direct mail folders to be used by dealers for ,consumer advertising, a folder on Celotex sheathing and one on Celotex lath, and a booklet showing both these types of construction. This literature is available to dealers and contractors for distribution. All will be imprinted with the dealer's name.

Fred R. Lamon and G. F. "Jerry" Bonnington, lvell known San Francisco lumbermen, who have been with Wendling-Nathan Company for many years, announce that they are leaving to enter business for themselves. They will open offices about O'ctober 15 at 16 California Street, San Fran,cisco, under the name of Lamon-Bonnington Company, and will conduct a general wholesale lumber business.
Both of the ,principals in the new firm have had over 25 years' experience in the lumber business. Mr. Lamon left Colgate University in 1910 to enter the famous Biltmore Forestry S,chool. As a part of the course he studied in Germany for six months, and when the course was completed found himself at Coos Bay, Ore. Ife went to work there for the C. A. Smith Lumber Company in 1911, and in three years gained experien,ce in logging, cruising and timberinspecting. He wentfrom there to Bay Point, Calif., where he worked through all the departments from lumber handler to grader, and after some experience in the offi'ce went on the road for the company in the S.an Joaquin Valley. In 1919 he left to spend a year on the road for The Pacific Lumber Company in the San Joaquin Valley. In February l92O he went with Wendling-Nathan Company, taking ,charge of sales in the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys, and in 1926'came into the San Francisco office to establish and take charge of the companv's Ponderosa and Sugar Pine department, and has been there up to date.
Mr. Bonnington left school in California in 1910, and went right into the lumber business in the Puget Sound district, spending a year in a logging camp and a year and a half in Dougl,as Fir mills working at various jobs. He then returned to California and went to work for the Union Lumber Company at Fort Bragg, working in several different departments in the mill and yard for about three years. He spent three and a half years in the retail business in San Jose and Salinas, and then traveled for the Coos Bay Lumber Company for a couple of years, leaving to go with Wendling-Nathan Company in 1921. He has been there ever since, selling lumber in the San Francisco Bay area and the Coast Counties territorv.
T. P. Hogafl, Jr., of Hogan Lumber Co., Oakland, has returned from a three weeks' business and pleasure trip to Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, on which he was accompanied by Mrs. Hogan.
They traveled up the Redwood Highway and the Coast Highway to the Olympic Peninsula and around the Penin. sula to Port Angeles, then,ce crossing to Vi,ctoria, and after spending some time there proceeding to Nanaimo from where they crossed to Vancouver, B.

J. Walter Kelly and Stuart C. Smith, well known California lumbermen, announce the opening of an offrce at 421 Garfield Building, Los Angeles, on October 1 where they will carry on a general wholesale lumber business operating as the Kelly-Smith Co.
Mr. Kelly has been associated with the lumber business in California since 1913 when he went to work for the Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co. in their San Francisco office, and with the exception of the time he was in the Navy during the war, was'continuously with the firm until 1935. For several years he was sales manager for the company. He resigned in 1935 to be'come general manager of the Consolidated Lumber Co. at Los Angeles and Wilmington. Since leaving the Consolidated Lumber Co. last February, he has been following the wholesale lumber bttsiness in Los Angeles.
Mr. Smith went with the Coos Bay Lumber Co., after coming out of the Army in 1919, and was connected with their logging and manufacturing departments at Marshfield, Oregon. In L924 he came to Southern California and was in charge of their lumber shipments at Los Angeles harbor, later joining their Los Angeles sales staff. A few years later he was transferred to the company's San Francis'co offi,ce and spent a few years calling on the retail trade in the Sacramento Valley and Coast Counties. He then went into the retail lumber business for himself at Lafayette, Calif., where he operated the Lafayette Lumber Co. He was back in Southern California again in 1933, as manager of the Coos Bay Lumber Co.'s Los Angeles office from which position he resigned a few months ago.
Smith-Kelly Co. will handle Douglas Fir, Pine, Redvrood, shingles, lath, Redwood split products, and pressure- treated lumber, poles and piling.
Booth-Kelly Douglas Fir, the Asgociation grade and trade mark certify to your customers the quality of the stock you handle. Builders quit guessing about what they're buying, and buy where they know what they're getting.
You just have to believe fishermen when they produce the eviden'ce, and the fish shown in the accompanying picture were ,even bigger than they appear.
