Strike Ties Up Lumber Schooners

As we go to press about 50 steamers in the coastwise lumber trade are tied up due to a walkout of the Marine Firemen's Union on October 4. The men demand a monthly raise in pay, increased overtime pay, and overtime for Saturday afternoon work. The vessels affected by the strike are operated by members of the Shipowners Association of the Pacific.

A proposal was advanced by Federal conciliators for immediate return to work with half the pay increase demanded by the union, and submission of the remainder of the raise and other questions to a neutral arbiter. The proposal was accepted conditionally by the Shipowners Association, but was turned down by the union membership.

The Marine Cooks and Stewards Union joined the strike on October 10. This made no change in the tie up status as all unions employed on the ships have been idle since the Firemen walked out.

The ind-ustrJ'^ stood at.77 per cent of the seasonal weekly average ol 1929,production 1nd 84 per cent of. average IVIg shipments for the week_ended Slplember 28, according to reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Associaiion from regional associations.

Reports from 100 hardwood mills for the week gave new business as 12,271,W feet, shipments 13,161,00 feet, and production 12,328,00O f.eet.

The weekly avirage of West Coast lumber production in September (4 weeks) was L43,278,000 board feet, or 72.8 per cent of the weekly average f.or lV26-1929, the industry's years of highest production, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survev of the industry. Orders averaged I63,724,m board fe-et; shipments, I57,879,W.

A haze on the far horizon, The infinite tender sky, . The ripe, rich tints of the cornfields, And the wild geese soaring high. And all over upland and lowland, The charm of the goldenrod, Some of us call it AutumnBut.others call it ' ' ' God' -wm. caruth. ***

Many beautiful thoughts have been penned and typed and uttered about the fall of the year, but the above is my entry for the season's best. Ever drive along a highway after the first frost of the season, and feast your eyes on a Black Gum tree? If not, you've missed something very beautiful. The leaves range in color from the darkest oxblood to the lightest flaming red. And ire they pretty!

I've always had an idea that when Joyce Kilmer wrote his priceless and ageless poem that begins-"I think that I shall never see, a poem lovely 4s 3 (sss"-he had in his mind's eye tfre picture of a hillside of hardwoods in the autumn after the leaves had turned to their riot of fall colors; that season of beauty "when reapers sing among the garnered sheaves." It is at that season that trees are well described as "lovely."

**rk

The word "lovely," however, would ill describe our majestic evergreen trees. I've never fully made up my mind which of two I think the grandest looking of our commercial trees. The two my choice wavers between are the California Redwood, and the Southern Rosemary Pine. The majesty of the ever-living Redwood defies description. But there is something about the Rosemary, which is the tallest, straightest, most symmetrical of the Yellow Pines of the South, that is tremendously appealing. The Redwood grows in mighty groves and forests. The Rosemary is more or less individual, appearing singly or in scattered numbers along some hillside in either Long Leaf or Short Leaf forests. A fine sample of either the Redwood or the Rosemary will give any nature lover something to mutter inarticulate poems about.

rF:f*

And no doubt it was an Autumn scene that James Whit-

comb Riley was thinking of when he wrote: And the sun had on a crown Wrought of gilded thistledown, And a scarf of velvet vapor And a ravelled rainbow gown; And his tinsel.tangled hair, Tossed and lost upon the air, Was glossier and fossier Than any anywhere.

**)B

Best recent rrirar story: Two colored brothers were talking about the Battle of Britain. One of them said: "Boy, if'n dem British could fight jes half as good as dem R.A.F.'s, dis wah would be ovah befo now."

**d<

Best descriptive remark on our domestic situation: Carl Crow says-"The National Labor Relations Board is as Russian as caviar."

:F**

Thought I might have a good crop of election stories to recite by this time, but so far the crop is short and poor. Haven't heard a really good political story through this campaign. Wonder why? Guess it's because people are too much wrought up about the possibilities of this election to feel like joking. The man who feels that a third term means the end of the America he loved, is too worried to laugh about it; and the fellow who thinks Roosevelt the only man who can keep us out of war, is pretty serious minded, too.

Not even any really -..U **a stories going the rounds. There has been a national rush for marriage licenses of late, and some wag has remarked that-"if his number doesn't come up, the honeymoon's over."

During the draft a"yr"ot L" **ru War, good stories few freely every day. There was the one about the colored brother who said he named his little boy "Weatherstrip," because he kept him out of the draft.

*rri<

And the country laughed over the other colored boy who was caught in the draft and ordered to report for duty. The officer asked him: "What's your name?" and the (Continued on Page 8)

Do you know that Curtis has helped "lVhs. America" plan over 50,000 kitchens? The combination of Curtis sturdy wood cabinets and the fact that these cabinets give the housewife complete freedom in choosing her color scheme, is one big reason for this popularity with dealers.

And I would be rich beyond the dreams of avarice if I had a dollar for every time I told the one about the company of drafted negroes who were marching up the street on the way to the depot, when a dusky boy in the curious crowd on the sidewalk recognized one of the marchers. "He/, Big Boy!" he shouted. "Whah is you gwine?" And the marcher glumly replied: "Ah ain't GWINE no placedey's TAKfN' me!"

But the most popular and most told colored draft story of the war, was when the idea of the draft wis first mentioned in Darktown. At first they couldn't believe it possible that they could "be tooked." One big fellow said: "Shucks ! Dass all foolishness ! Uncle Sam caint make me fight!" And a wiser and older one replied: "Nossuh: Uncle Sam caint make you fight! But I'll tell you whut he kin do ! He kin take you whah de fightin' is at an' let you use you' own judgment!"

A success story. The story of Congressman Martin Dies, Chairman of the Congressional Committee that for several years has been investigating un-American activities

in this country. Two years ago a campaign was in progress to destroy Martin Dies and his committee. No one in Washington can remember a comparable case, where a public servant, engaged in a great patriotic effort trying to locate and ferret out the Fifth Columnists and the borersfrom-within, was subjected to such a tornado of misrep resentation, calumny, vituperation, and such a flood of ridicule. It continued for months. The many friends of this courageous and patriotic young man writhed with indignation at the public tortures and indignities to which the "hatchet men" subjected him. But he refused to quit. He kept on boring in on those who were boring in. And today he rides the crest of the wave of public approval, simply because we have since discovered that the things he was saying and claiming about conditions in this country two years ago, were only a shadow of the actual facts. History will praise the work of Martin Dies in uncovering our dangerous radicals and exposing their works. And now there are many men and women in Washington who would like very much indeed to have the public forget the nauseous flood of condemnation and misrepresentation and ridicule that they heaped upon the head of Martin Dies. They would like to have Mr. Dies forget. They are singing that good old song, "Let's forgive and forget." But if every baneful and malicious crusade of calumny against good men like Martin Dies is going to be so soon forgiven and forgotten, this would indeed be a difficult country for good people to live in. ft is much more likely that when the history of these strange times is written the campaign to destroy Martin Dies and stop his investigations into unAmerican activities within our borders will be given a very prominent page.

Revision ol !(/age-Hour Record-Keeping Requirements to be Considered Oct. 17

Acting on the request of spokesmen for several large i'dustrial concerns for further revision of the record-keeoing regulations issued under the Fair Labor Standards Act. the Wage and Hour Division today announced a public hearing on this subject for 10:00 A.M., October i7, in Room 3229 of. the Labor Building, Washington, D. C. (Fed_ eral Register October 1, 1940).

Dr. Gustav Peck, assistant director of the Hearings Branch, will preside at the hearing, called, in the languale of the official notice, to determine .,what, il any, "-arr-a_ ments should be made to Regulations, part 516ln respect to the records to be kept by employers of persons employed, wages, hours, and other conditions and practices of er.rpioy_ ment."

Representatives of large employers who already have complete records regarding the hours of work and pay of their employees, kept for other purposes, ha.lr" "o-piained to the Wage and Hour Division that the present language of ]he record-keeping regulations issued under the fuale and Hour Law, compels the keeping of certain additionil records which are burdensome. They have suggested that the requirements in the present regulations could be sim_ plified without sacrifice to the protection such records. give to the employees involved. The hearing, therefore, has been ordered so that their suggestions *"y.U" officially examined into, and if the changes they request can safely be made, their suggestions will be followed, A.ting Admin_ istrator Baird snyder declared in announcing the- hearing. _ _ Anyone desiring to appear or file a statement may do so.

They Grow 'Em Big in Texas

Jake Richenstein, president of Cowser & Company, Dallas, Texas, who was on a business trip to the Pacific Coast a few weeks ag'o, recently sent four of the biggest watermelons ever seen in California to Jim Farley, The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco; Bill Dorsey, The Pacific Lumber Company, Scotia; Alfred D. Bell, Jr., Hammond Redwood Company, San Francisco, and E. E. (Abe) Abrahamson, Hammond Redwood Company, Samoa.

In a letter to each of these Redwood lumbermen Mr. Richenstein stated that when in California he had seen the big Redwoods, met a number of big lumbermen who did things in a big way, and incidentally noted on his tour the little things Californians call watermelons, and had therefore decided on his return to Texas to send them what he called real watermelons.

The melons were packed well and each was shipped in a zinc washtub. The one received by Jim Farley weighed 85 pounds and its smallest circumference measured 54 inches. At a Rotary Club luncheon in Scotia it was found big enough to serve all that were present with a generous piece. One man at the luncheon remarked that this one made California watermelons look like green olives.

Paint or Stucco?

Jason worked for a white gentleman who was conducting an economy campaign. So, when it became evident that the family car was sadly in need of a paint job, the gentleman decided to do it himself, and proceeded to give the old bus a regular oldrfashioned coat of paint. Then he made the mistake of leaving the garage door open so that the air could speed the drying process during the night.

But in the night the wind rose and kicked up quite a fuss, so that a liberal coating of sand and dust got well mixed in with the drying paint job. In the morning when

THE AIL-PURPOSE cREArEs AoLrrntp

Ponderosa Pine lumber has been rightfully called the most versatile of building products. The manv volume uses for which Ponderosa is the logical choice, make it a great favorite with lumber dealers. It can be, and is being used successfully for every building paft . . joists, studs, rafters, subflooring, sheathing, roof boards, siding, window frames, door frames, windows, storm sash, scfeens, interior and exterior doors, gffage doors, mouldings, door jambs, trim, cabinet work, and even flooring and ceiling. Because of this universal use,

WOOD THAT wITH pa,tft

Ponderosa Pine admirably serves the requirements of the lumber dealer in furnishing the needs of his customers.

Ponderosa dries easily and thoroughly. It also nails, screws, and glues well, and is easy to work. Another attribute of Ponderosa Pine is its low shrinkage factor which is practica,lly 3o/o less than some of the heavier soft woods.

And, of course, in the shipping container market Ponderosa furnishes the necessary protection ^t ^ low cost. The light weight reduces transportation charges, an important consideration. For paneling in old and new interiors, Ponderosa Knotty Pine is available in a wide variety of patterns.

The important matter of proper seasoning has been worked out at Klamath Falls to the "nth" degree. From the time the logs

the stock employed in the knocked-down enter the mill until the finished boards arrive at destination, this Ponderosa Pine furniture and household equipment field. lumber is never exposed to the elements.

Ponderosa represents a large percentage of

WHEN THE WILD GEESE FLY

Every year when the grass grows gray, And the sun hangs low on a soggy day, When the late rose lifts a faltering head To the summer days that are almost dead; Every year when a mellow note Floats down from some squadron leader's throat, Faint and clear through the gurFroom runs A rustle of bqsts and a whisper of guns.

A whisper o/'iuns! A memory lifts, And out ofla rain-torn curtain drifts

A rusdjnqf sound from ordered wings As a plafrtom le$on wheels and swings.

Wheelb$pd swings on an airy track

Feathered troops o'er a fog drenched land, Ruled by the beck of a Master's hand.

Ah, gallant geese of the misty dawn; What age-old instinct leads you on?

What voice from some soft srunmer sea Calls out, and wingrng wild and free Your mighty pinions beat the air, To bear you, all unguided, there?

No man may know; but a spirit sings And a heart beats high to the rush of wings.

Col. Greeley Makes Statement on Lumber Indictment

Seattle, Washington, October 5, 1940.-When asked to comment upon the sweeping indictment of western lumber manufacturers and associations, which was released yesterday by a Federal Judge in Los Angeles, Colonel W. B. Greeley, secretary-manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, said:

"As far as the West Coast Lumbermen's Association is concerned, our activities are out in the open. We have furnished information and provided services for the consumers, no less than the manufacturers, of Pacific Northwestern lumber. This information and service, including inspection and grade-marking, are essential in the distribution of a thousand or more different lumber items, through many different channels and largely at great dis: tances from the sawmills. The distribution of lumber is no longer a 'horse and buggy' business.

"The West Coast lumber industry, with some 900 different sawmills, is so highly competitive that charges of monopoly against it are incomprehensible. We do not believe that the Association has broken any law; we are astounded by this action of the Fedeial Department of Tustice."

Bcll-Blvth

First A Sawmill

The story of Coloma is familiar to all-a sawmill, a bit of gleaming metal in the mill race, the Gold Rush. The fact that this sequence of events was duplicated in many mining towns of the Sierra, is not so generally recognized. Perhaps the lumberjack has not received his just dues in our histories of the Mother Lode.

First they built a little sawmill

Near a river or a stream, As the first important adjunct

To an empire building dream.

Then tall Sugar Pines and Cedars

From the stand upon the hill, Were laid low and hauled as fodder To the greedy little mill.

Thus the forests paid their tribute

To the cities far awayMarysville and Sacramento, San Francisco by the bay; And the noisy little sawmill Buzzed and wheezed the long day through, And the lumberjacks and sawyers Had no trifling tasks to do.

Then, as in far famed Coloma, Some one found a trace of goldRaised a hue and cry about it, Here and there the story told. Soon beside a man made canyon Stood a group of miners' huts, For the lure of gold is stronger Than the lure of cedar butts.

And this story, oft repeated, You may hear some smiling day, As the old lode trails you follow Asking questions by the way. For a wheezy little sawmill By a chattering mountain stream, Was the first essential adjunct To a great State's golden dream.

-A. Merriam Conner.

tane \(/ithers' Playroom Remodeled

T'hroughout with Douglas Fir

No movie fan needs to be told that when Jane Withers likes anybody or anything it is with her whole heart and soul and she is never in any doubt as to what she wants. Such are the parts in which this young American has become one of the top screen favorites of the country. In real life Jane is more quiet and demure, but she still has ideas of her own. One of them was on the sort of playroom she desired as part of the remodeling of the home of the Withers family in Hollywood during the summer of 1940.

Here is the playroom, finished and fitted up according to the young ideas of "that there Withers gal"-or at least here's the soda-fountain half of it. Walls, ceiling and fountain are paneled in Douglas fir, a wood that is being selected more and more by the stars of Hollywood in styling the rooms of their homes along modern stream lines.

The Withers family purchased their present home over two years ago. It had been built by a real estate firm for exhibition purposes and was widely advertised as a model home for the average American family. A single-story dwelling, the main feature of the remodeling job was the ad-

dition of a second floor. The playroom is in this upstairs addition.

Jane's fan mail is now greater in volume than that of any other star. Her latest picture is "Youth Will Be Served." It will be released in December.

An expansion program, involving expenditure of $20O,000 for dry kilns and equipment, by the Medford Corporation, has been announced by Jas. H. Ou'en, general manager.

This expansion will be started with the immediate installation of a double end trimmer and new double track dry kiln. In addition to this, the planing mill will be modernized and two storage sheds are already under construction.

B. L. Nutting, general superintendent, states that the new work will go forward on schedule and will be complete within the next 6O to 9O days.

When the entire development is completed, approximately 85 per cent of the mill production will be kiln dried and stored in sheds. This shed storage will be so planned that the lumber can be handled in unit packages, which is a method of handling being practiced by the most modern mills.
