The Strike Situation

Portland, Ore., Sept. 27.-Portland sawmill operators. in a statement issued "to settle any argument as to the effectiveness of the A. F. of L. boycott," said today lttmber orders totaling 3,500,000 feet have been cancelled since local mill employees affiliated with the C.I.O. August 14.

The business, Morris Jones, Jones Lumber Company, spokesman for the employers, said, is going to Tacoma, the lower Columbia River, I:orest Grove and Oregon coast mills.

"These mills are op,erating with A. F. of L. employees and are continuing to run," Mr. Jones said.

San Francisco, Sept. ?A.-A teamsters' blockade of the San Francisco waterfront, called in an A. F. of L.C. I. O. jurisdictional dispute, was lifted tonight, officials of the San Francisco chapter, International Teamsters' Union, A. F. of L. affiliate, announced.

The officials said they had agreed to a "truce" in response to a request of California farmers and out of respect to the welfare of the people of San Francisco.

The teamsters declared the blockade September I in a controversy with the C. I. O. longshoremen over which labor group should control inland warehousemen whom the longshoremen had organized.

Action of the teamsters in lifting the blockade came shortly after they had abandoned massed demonstrations on the rvaterfront. Tonight's conciliatory action, it was believed, obviated the threatened spread of the blockade to other Pacific Coast ports

The situation at Portland seems to be about the same as it was two weeks ago, and the jurisdictional controversv bet'iveen the A. F. of L. and C. I. O. for control of the

sawmill workers continues. As rve g'o to press, it is reported that only one sawmill there is working.

There has been no interference of the lumber movernent at Los Angeles harbor due to the A. F. of L.-C. I. O. disPute' :tr :r :r

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association. in its netvs release of September 25, says:

Practically no change is shown in the operating and marketing positions of the West Coast lumber industry in the week ended September 11 from the mill reports of recent weeks. The total production and orders reported by 177 down and operating mills to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association are approximately the same as those reported in the week ended September .1. the last full five-day week. This indicates, according to lumbermen, a continuation of the slorver market trend noticeable for the past sixty days. Usually, according to lumbermen, by late August the summer slack is replaced with the fall buying and moderate increases in both production and orders usually occurs early in September. With the sales and shipments to the Orient entirely stopped, San Francisco Bay area closed to lumber arrivals by rvater and slack trade in Southern California and Atlantic Coast areas, West Coast lumbermen are Dessimistic over the immediate future. Over a number of weeks more lumber has been produced than sold rvhile order files have been progressively decreasing; with more sellers than buyers, prices have declined..Some individual mills have attempted to meet the situation by reducing production while others have been forced to close. Should the present slump continue further reductions in production are anticipated by lumbermen.

Vagabond Editorials

By Jack Dionne

Let's talk about something very pleasant, just for a starter. Let's talk about dogs. For someone sent me the other day the very beautiful epitaph which Byron wrote for the grave of his Newfoundland dog which had gone to the dogs'heaven. It should be in the scrap book of every lover of animals. Byron wrote: "Near this spot are deposited the remains of one Who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, And all the virtues of man-without his vices."

Few men ever die concerning whom that same thing could truthfully be said. It might have been said of Will Rogers. He wasn't exactly "beautiful" but he had a grin that made people want to hug him, and he was so free from vanity, and the other little silly vices. When he remarked once that "A man with a brown suit and a blue suit can dress to go anywhere," he made his biggest hit with me'

George Gresham Vest's "Eulogy of a Dog" is the dog sermon most frequently quoted. Its closing words are: "If fortime drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies, and when the last scene of all comes, and when Death takes the master in his embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all the other friends pursue their way, there by the grave-side will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open, in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death." This has probably been quoted more times than Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

What a marvelous creation of Providence is a good dog. A woman I know lost her pet dog more than a year ago. She is very richly endowed with this world's goods. Yet such is her grief and regret at the passing of that furry friend that when I heard her remark the other day that she would give every dime she had on earth to have that dog back, I am convinced she spoke the truth. She would.

Lincoln said that God must love the common people, He made so many of them. He must love dogs, too, He made sc many of them, and blessed them so generously. A

friend of mine has a rnost wonderful cocker spaniel. An accident partly paralyzed one of the front legs of that kindly creature, so that when he walks on it, it turns under with his weight, and he actually walks on what was the top of the foot, rather than the bottom. And do you know that Mother Nature has made that top-foot on which he walks to look just like the bottom used to, and the underpart on which he used to walk is now covered with long silky hair? Yes, sir, the top and bottom of that foot have just reversed, and there are heavy black callouses now on the top, just like there used to be underneath.

Dropping rapidly O"rn an" ,,lr,rr," to the human (and Oh what a difference there is) someone sent me an alleged exact copy of a plea for divorce filed by a man who prayed the court to rid him of a virago of a wife. The plea closes with the following rhymed petition to the Judge: "Cursed be the man, the poorest wretch in life, The crouching vassal of a tyrant wife; Who has no will but by her high permission; Who has no dime but that in her possession; Who must to her his dear friends secrets tell; Who dreads a curtain lecture worse than Hell; Were such a wife to fall to your honor's part, You'd break her spirit, or you'd break her heart."

i<**

My recent Vagabonding in these columns about Trees and Men, in which I sought to show by the way Pine trees grow in the forest that there is no socialism in Mother Nature, and that in inanimate things, as well as in men, competition makes for strength, quality, and usefulnesshas been already many times reprinted and copied. Swell. 'We can learn a lot from trees-and dogs. ,i rN( *

Likewise, some of the remarks in these columns about the labor situation have been variously copied and put to further use. And thinking along that line (and it's difficult for anyone interested in business today to get his mind off of that subject) I am reminded of a man I have known for a long time, an employer of many men, and a very kindly and friendly person. During the deep years of the depression, '31,'32 and '33, he went through Hell and high water, to keep his business in operation. He lost money every time he turned a wheel, and it would have been infinitely better for him had he closed down the business and gone fishing. He went deeper and deeper in the

red, borrowed and borrowed, and borrowed some more. Why? To keep his men employed, so that they could eat. He had no other motive for running. There was none. He knew if he turned the men loose there were no jobs they could get.

Not long ago there *"1 "*"..luen change. As he himself put it, "Men who have worked for me a generation and have always been my friends, suddenly discovered that I was 'unfair."' So he accepted their terms, and now they are working under a new rule. But a high fence has grown up between him and his men. The mutual interest that used to be manifest, has disappeared. But the question that looms large in my mind in considering that case and others like it (and there were countless thousands of same) is, when the next business slump comes along (and who is there that doubts that they will come?) how long is that employer going in the "red" to keep that plant operating?

Addressing a national lumber convention in Chicago, General Hugh Johnson, of NRA fame, used all the vitriol in his dynamic vocabulary concerning the Supreme Court appointment of Senator Black. Nothing like it has been uttered. One cf his slashing remarks was that when President Roosevelt appointed Black to the Court he was following the example of the bad little boys throwing a dead cat on the neighbor's front porch.

A few days ago was Co,nstitution Day. And it was observed throughout this land much more definitely and deliberately than ever before since that famous document was written. One great and good return the turmoil of today is bringing us. Thinking people are rallying round the Constitution and thinking about the Constitution much more emphatically than ever before. It's an ill wind that blows no good'

Yes, friends, there was never a time in our history when that Constitution needed the intelligent and courageous defense of every thinking man like it does today. For radicalism rears its ugly head on every side in this land of curs, and is countenanced in a manner few of us would have thought possible. All this talk of Communism and Fascism, and Nazism in this country is but a bit of smoke to mark a growing confagration.

Just the other day tnolrular*of Germans listened to a pro-German program in a Western city of this land, and at the mention of the name of Hitler they raised their hands in the Hitler-Nazi saldte and thundered their acclamation of Hitler-the-Headsman, or Adolph-the-Axman, whichever it is.

You have read, of course, that in Nazi Germany today the line in the ofEcial funeral ceremony which used to read,

"He died in the faith of God," has now been changed to read, "He died in the faith of Adolph Hitler." No God any more. Just Hitler. And in Russia God and religion has become a mark of Cain on any brow, a dangerous mark to carry.

*d<>k

The only wall of defense that stands between the people of American and the people of other lands who are now being ground down under the heel of the tyrant, is that Constitution. It is the first one of its kind that was ever written, the most momentous political document ever penned. It is the guarantee of freedorn to mankind that has done much to re-make the world. As the gospel hymn goes, "It's the word that makes us free."

***

And of itself, the Constitution is speechelss, impotent. Its principles only become living laws when administered by that guardian of the Constitution created by the Fathers -the Supreme Court. So we must depend upon the high character and faultless devotion of that Court to protect our rights under the Constitution. Otherwise they will be lost.

Therefore Constitution ;J Jt from henceforth become a great day in the history of this nation. fn our previous history we have always looked upon the Constitution as

something sacred and untouchable. We have recently learned that it is something that must likewise be protected, if its usefulness is to live. It is every man's duty to protect that document with all that life holds dear; and to breed it into the very fibre of his children to do likewise. Otherwise, some day this glorious dream of the last century and a half will turn into a nightmare.***

General Johnson warned the lumbermen at Chicago that this nation today is drifting at a frightening rate into one of the most rigid dictatorships on top of this earth, and that had the demands that were made upon Congress during the recent session been granted, it would be well on its way.

Introduces New lmproyed Sheathing Lumber

lllusbcting dicgoncl cpplicction ol Endless Lumber.

Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, Saint Paul, Minnesota, has announced a plan to help dealers feature and sell 4SQUARE Endless Lumber.

Endless Lumber is now in the soft lvood field. Both ends and edges are tongued and grooved. The outstanding feature of the product is that ends of,boards do not have to be joined over studs or joists, and thereby considerable time is saved in application, because piece after piece of

Endlegs Lumber. Both ends crnd edges <rre tongued trnd grooved. Endless goes into place without trimming. As a matter of fact, it is necessarv to lrse a sar\r only at the ends of the run and openings.

4-SQLIARE Endless Lumber has been introduced in various places throughout the countrv. Its success is assured, because even the amateur lumber user can recognize its outstanding and obvious advantages.

Endless for 51 Per Cent of the Average Farm Building

Material lists for Midwcst Farm Plan Service, the efficient building plans developed through the cooperation of fifteen middle western agricultural colleges, rvere checked. It was found that 51 per cent of the average farm building can be built with Endless Lumber. For Endless comes in sheathing, siding, lining, ceiling, and flooring patterns. It is also used extensively for partitions, concrete forms, etc. There is practically no rvaste in using Endless-all trimming is eliminated except at openings and corners, and the ends left over are used for starting new runs.

Diagonal Sheathing Costs No More

With Endless Lumber, diagonal sheathing providing as much as seven times more bracing strength than horizontal application can be applied at no greater cost than the average horizontal sheathing job. There is about 30 per cent less nailing to do, another time-saving feature, because it is not necessary to join the ends of each board over the framing members. The great waste experienced in using ordinary lumber for diagonal sheathing is entirely overcome with Endless.

Endless Lumber for the various purposes mentioned above provides tighter, stronger, more rigid areas. The tight wall also has greater insulation value and greater wind resistance. It has been found that Endless Lumber is particularly adaptable in the construction of farm buildings where the farmer does the majority of work himself or at least helps do it. Furthermore, unskilled labor can apply Endless almost as quickly as,skilled carpenters.

Advertising Program

These features of Endless Lumber are being publicized in a national farm paper advertising program. The advertising is hooked up with a merchandising plan for the dealer to use at the point of sale. It is designed to reach not only the influencing building factors in his territory but selected consumers as well.

Weyerhaeuser is convinced that 4-SQUARE Endless Lumber can be an inrportant factor in providing better buildings for less money. When 51 per cent of the farm buildings can be built with Endless, the savings of time and material represent a handsome figure when translated into dollars

4-SQUARE Endless Lumber is one of several refined lumber products in the 4-SQUARE line. For over ten years Weyerhaeuser has constantly improved its products, injecting time-and labor-saving features so that the builder and owner benefit by getting better buildings that cost no more and frequently cost less.

Refinements in the 4-SQUARE line enable the retail lumber dealer to maintain substantial volume on the most important part of his lumber business-lumber products. Improvements in lumber such as those in Endless will go far to prove that lumber continues to be the most economical, most versatile, and most attractive building material. Such improved lumber products offer the dealer a greater margin of security in his business than he has ever enjoyed before.

According to executives at the general offices of Weyerhaeuser Sales Company at Saint Paul, plans are being made to introduce additional nerv 4-SQUARE products, many of which are alreadv in development. Announcelnent of them will he made soon.

ported 13,000 barrels of portland cement, and in 1884 some 150,000 barrels entered the Golden Gate. But as the American cement industry grew in a rvidening circle from its cradle in the Lehigh district of Pennsylvania, cement produced in Kansas and other states of the Middle West began coming to the Pacific Coast.

As cement use increased, California found it economically possible to produce its own cement and become independent of distant sources of srrpply. Posscssing the raw materials, cheap fuel oil, natural gas, abundant hydro-electric potver, the state had everythirrg needful for a cement industry of its own.

Today California constitutes one of the country's important cement-producing districts; of the states its production was exceeded only bv that of Pennsvlvania in 1935. Its plants are equipped to produce 22,7X),W barrels of portlanc cement a year, a capacity far in excess of present demand. Production tvas 257 per cent of capacity in 1935, about 58 per cent in 1936. Roughly, about 9 per cent of the country's cement-manufacturing capacity is within the borders of this state.

Great engineering works require enormous quantities of cement for concrete constructiorr. Nearly 5,000,000 barrels of a special 'formula, low-heating cement were used in the construction of Boulder Dam. The Los Angeles Aqueduct metropolitan water system will require between 4,000,000 and 6,000,000 barrels of cement. Up to July 1 purchases of cement for this project had amounted to 98,700,000. It is estimated that about 6,000,000 barrels of cement will be needed for the great Central Valley Project. Some 1,500,000 barrels went into the construction of Oakland-San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate bridges.

This is big-time cement use, on projects where concrete is mixed by automatic machinery that rveighs and mixes the ingredients and times the operation rvith fool-proof ingenuity. But so universal are the applications of portland cement that any householder can do a backyard job requiring but a single sack and be certain of its performance.

The setting and hardening of concrete are two different things. Concrete sets in a relatively short time, but it hardens or cures over an indefinite period of time due to the physical and chemical changes rvhich take place and which result in the

gradual building of strength in the concrete. In other words, concrete adds strength with time.

A comparatively recent development, however, to serve the need of construction jobs where time is a vital factor, is a cement that will harden in a fraction of this time. The trade calls this special cement "high-early-strength portland cement." Its peculiar quality is to acquire a twenty-eight-day degree of hardness in twenty-four hours. Naturally, it sells at a premium. Latest available figures show that forty-seven of the country's cement plants were producing high-early in 1935, among them five plants iT California. Total national production amounted to 2,L09,000 barrels.

Another special cement also being produced in California is high-silica or sulphate-resisting cement. lt is a lowalumina product recommended for use in any construction which comes in contact with sea water, alkaline soils, mine, drainage, or other chemically active solutions.

In addition to these super-cements, other products of the California cement plants are oil-well cements, u'aterproof cements, plastic cements. High-early and high-silica rvere originally sold as waterproof cements, but more recently their other qualities have been stressed. Plastic cements have qualities of plasticity, sand carrying and hardening, finish smoothly, and are much used for stucco.

Headquarters of California's portland cement companies are divided between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The Northern California companies include Pacific Portland Cement Co., Santa Cruz Portland Cement Co., Calaveras Cement Company, Henry Cowell Lime & Cement Company, and Yosemite Portland Cement Company.

The Southern California companies are Monolith Portland Cement Company, Riverside Portland Cement Company, California Portland Cement Company and Southwestern Portland Cement Company.

C)perations of Calaveras are centered at San Andreas in Calaveras County. It is a relative rlewcomer in the cement field in California and has the distinction of producing a white cement, one of the three brands on the American market.

Yosemite operates in Merced County, its deposits of limestone being adjacent to the Yosemite Valley Railroad which runs from l\{erced to El Portal. It uses the wet process.

Cowell Lime and Cement uses the dry process and operates in Contra Costa County, its post office being Cowell,

California. It obtains its limerock and clay from quarries along the Mt. Diablo fault, a circumstance which gives rise to its brand name, "Mt. Diablo."

The'Monolith company uses the wet process and operates at Monolith in Kern County just south of the Tehachapi. It uses limestone and clay for raw materials, the rock being hauied by train to the mills.

Riverside Portland Cement Company employs the dry process and has its plant at Crestmore in Riverside County. It recovers limestone by,elaborate mining operations.

California Portland Cement Company also employs the dry process, with a large operation at Colton in San Bernardino County. Its raw material comes from literally a mountain of limestone.

Southwestern Portland Cement Company, on the other hand, uses the wet process at its plant in Victorville, San Bernardino County. Its limerock comes from quarries in the vicinity.

THE THOROUGHBRED

When we say a man or a woman we know is a thoroughbred, we pay to him or her the greatest compliment of which we are capable. There is not in the vocabulary or pleasant terms a stronger word.

Visit a stock farm, the home of high-grade horses or cattle, and you will see that the physical signs of the thoroughbred are fine eyes and an erect bearing. These are the symbols of a high generous spirit.

The keeper of the stock farm will tell you that a thoroughbred 'never whines. One illustrated this to me by swinging a dog around by the tail. The creature was in pain, but no sound escaped him. "You see," said the keeper, "they never complain. It ain't in 'em. Same way when a stable burns. It ain't the best horses that scream when they're burnin'. Itls the worst."

All this is quite as true of the human thoroughbred. The visible signs of the invisible spirit are the eyes that are steady and shoulders that are straight. No burden except possibly the weight of many years bends his shoulders, and his eyes meet yours in honest fashion, because he neither fears, nor has been shamed, at the bar of his own soul.

He never complains. He keeps his troubles to himself, having discovered, as thoroughbreds do, that to tell troubles is to multiply than, and to lock tfiem in the breast is to diminish and finally end them. He never talks about what Fate has done to him. He knows he is master of his own destiny. He never bewails the treatment he has received from another, for he knows no one can do him lasting harm but himself.

-Ada Patterson.

McCormick Interests Begin Readjustment

Redemption of outstanding six per cent bonds and readjustment of corporate organization under a long-range program was announced on Septemller 25 by Chas. R. N{cCormick Lumber Co., through the offices of Charles L. Wheeler, executive vice-president of the McConnick lumber, shipping, and terminal activities.

The McCormick interests are controlled by Pope & Talbot, including former lumber and shipping activities of both McCormick and Pope & Talbot groups, pioneers in California and Pacific \iorthwest development.

Bonds of aoproxirnately a million dollars will be called November first next, which represents the amount now outstanding of the original $4,000,0(n first mortgage issue in 1926, running to November 1, 1941.

The Chas. R. McCorn-rick Lumber Co. is the third largest producer and distributor of lumber in the Pacific North rvest, with timber holdings in Washington, mills on Columbia River and Puget Sound producing over 1,0@,00O feet daily, and lumber terminal outlets in California, the Atlantic Coast, and the West Indies. The company also has rail distribution to the interior and membership in Douglas Fir Export Company.

It also operates one of the largest creosoting and wood preserving plants lvest of the Mississippi River.

Calling of the bonds is the first of a series of moves in refinancing and corporate readjustment, according to I{r. Wheeler. Complete separation is planned of commodity and common carrier activities. Vessels and transportation equipment olvned by the lumber company rvill be trans-

The American Lumber & Treating Co. of Chicago, Illinois, announces that on September 15, operations began at their new pressure treating plant located at Weed, California. The Weed plant is the first of three to be constructed for the Wood Preserving Division of the LongBell Lumber Compan.v and vi'ill be followed by plants at Joplin, I\{issouri and DeRidder, Louisiana. Construction on the latter tlvo plants is well underuvay at the present time, and they are expected to be in operation by January 1,1938.

'Ihe Weed plant is equipped to treat all Western species of wood u'ith both creosote and "Wolman Salts," by any of the standard pressure processes.

The plant at Joplin will be equipped to treat all Southern species of rvood with both creosote and "Wolman Salts," while DeRidder q'ill have creosoting facilities only for the time being.

The Long-Bell Lumber Company is well established in the wood preserving field, having a background of approximately tr,r'enty-nine years cf experience. With these new modern treating plants, including facilities for treatment with the well-known "Wolman Salts," they will be able to ser\re a rvider and more variecl market than heretofore. It is expected that large stocks of piling, poles, posts, lumber and ties will be maintained for prornpt shipment.

Both the Lonq-Bell Lumber Company and the American Lumber & Treating Co. maintain ofifices in all the principal cities. Furthermore, Long-Bell covers practically all territories with special representatives; consequently, is well equipped to service all markets. The American Lumber & Treating Co. maintains a staff of sales engineers who will provide technical information relative to "Wolman Salts." The treating firm does not enter into the purchase or sale of any of the lumber which is processed at any of its plants, but operates the latter as a service to the lumber industry.

The Long-Bell (Wood Preserving Division) sales headquarters will be at Kansas City under the general direction of F. T. \Arright, with C. R. Wilson, headquartering at San Fraricisco, in direct charge of Western sales.

Many New Buyers of Industrial Lumber

Of interest to the mill, wholesaler, and commission salesman are the following figures relating to the industrial division of the lumber industry. These figures are from the statistical department of the Lumbermen's Credit Association, Inc., Chicago and New York City, which is now ready to make delivery of its October,1937, Credit Rating Book.

The Association's records for a six months' period, commencing with the publication of its April 1937 Credit Rating Book and ending with the closing date for printing of the October edition, shows that D4 new industrials started in the manufacture of marketable items for resale. made wholly or in part of wood; that 192 in this class of industrials, for one reason or another, discontinued the manufacture of such iterns or went out of business entirely.

, As further evidence of the activity in the industrial division of the lumber and woodrvorking industries, some 750 such industrials during the six months period had their credit ratings changed, up or dorvn, and 30 were forced to discontinue business as going concerns.

Included in the figures set forth are 315 furniture manu-

facturers. The balance is made up of 81 other classes of manufacturers of articles, other than furniture, in which wood is used and which are manufactured and sold for resale.

We are advised that manufacturers of sash. interior trim and other retail yard items; also saw mills, retail yards, wholesalers, and other similar divisions of the lumber industry, are not, in any way, included in the above figures relating to industrials manufacturing resale items made wholly or in part of wood. It is said that hundreds of new names in these other classes are listed in the October 1937 edition of their credit rating book, just off the press, while thousands of changes appear and, of course, many names have been deleted because the concerns have gone out of business.

CHANGE OF TELEPHONE NUMBER

After having the same telephone number for the past fourteen years, Wilkinson & Buoy, 318 West Ninth Street, Los Angeles, lumber manufacturers' agents, announce it has been changed. The new telephone number is TRinity 46L3.
