ANGELES 14, CAL., NOVEMBER 15,'1945 "tHtH1t"lff:

The Lumber Strike Situation

The CIO's 40.000 lumber workers in the Pacific Northwest who asked a 25 cents an hour increase accepted l2f cents in a conciliation agreement on November 2. It boosted the minimum df CIO workers from 9O cents to $.A2%. A1l workers, except fallers and buckers, will receive the flat l2l cent increase. It ended the danger of a CIO strike, which members had authorized if necessary. The CIO continued working while negotiating the rvage dispute.

The new wage agreement did not cover AFL workers and as this is written the lvorkers continued an eight weeks strike in support of demands for a $1.10 industry-wide minimum hourly wage. The CIO agreement rvas denounced by the Northern Washington district council of the IWA as "entirely inadequate to meet higher living costs and loss of take home pay resulting from return to the 40-hour work week." The AFL claimed more than 60,000 lumbers workers were idle ir-r 500 operations in Oregon, Washington, Montana. Idaho. and Northern California'

Portland, Ore., Nov. 7.-CIO workers in the plywood and door manufacturing plants of Oregon and Washington today had accepted employer proposals for an increase of l2f cents an hour.

The Portland district council of the AFL Lumber and Sawmill association today had rejected an offer of four

large Portland operators to raise wages by I2l cents an hour.

Salem, Ore., Nov. I0.-striking mill workers of Local 3050, A F of L sawmill and lumber workers union, voted today to accept a 12% cents an hour wage increase ofiered by Salem mill operators.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week en4ed November 3,155 mills reporting, gave orders as 44,000,000 {eet, shipments 41,500,000 feet, and production 40,671,000 feet. The figures for the previous.week were: orders 43,000,000 feet, shipments 38,500,000 feet, and production 41,000,000 feet.

The Western Pine Association {or the week ended October 27, 94 mills reporting, gave orders as 26,872,00O feet, slripments 30,745,W0 feet, and production 34,854,000 feet. The week before the figures were: orders 30,331,00O feet, shipments 31,333,000 feet, and production 34,461,000 feet.

Retailers Discuss Reconyersion Period Problems

Colorado Springs. Colo., Nov. 6.-Keynoted by the siogan, "llome Building Spearheads the Return to a Peacetime Economy,"the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, headquartered in Washington, D. C., opened its annual meeting at the Broadmoor Hotel for a three-day bout r.gith reconversion periocl problems, November 6, 7 and 8.

Prodttction, not price control, rvas the theme of the lum-

"With the war ended, why talk of continued lumber shortages ? Some government agencies have figured there will only be enough lumber for 400,000 houses in 1946. Not more than 10,000 board feet of lumber is needed in the average house. OnIy 4 billion feet of lumber, there{ore, is needed to build 400,000 houses. Where are the other 26 billion board feet going? There are materials enough if there is labor enough-if there is will enough to build homes in America."

Clarifying the point that the home building industry has no real reconversion problems except those connected with the current strikes, Secretary Northup suggested that the. government settle the strike situation, provide sensible wage and hour regulations, and let the building industry put to rvork the 9 million men and women it is capable of employing. Returned service men and women want jobs,, Mr. Northup emphasized, and only production and the return to a peacetime economy can put them to work.

President S. L, Forrest Secretcry H. R. Northup ber dealers' meeting. "There is a demand for homes," H. R. Northup, secretary of the National Association, Washington, D. C., stated, "but once builcling l;egins, the pressure rvill be lessened and'prices rvill seek normal levels. The philosophy of shortages, lack, and lirnitations on housing, may be substantiated by government figures bttt sttch unimaginative accoultts do not take into consideration the techniques and abilities the building industry learned during the war."

Pointing out that the lumber manufacturers produced 28 billion feet of lumber in 1945 and u,ith retLrrn of labor to the mills are headed toward a 30 million feet production in 1946, Secretarl' Northup asked :

That lumber dealers are really turning their establishments into a headquarters for building information, services and materials, was brought out by the Association's president, S. L. Forrest, Lubbock, Texas lumber dealer. "Hundreds of lumber dealers have already signed a pledge of service designed to remind them of their own responsibilities to the community as well as to notify the citizens of their communities of the efforts being made by lumber dealers to coordinate and integrate the elements and materials that make up the home building trade."

A recent survey showed that 75/o of the lumber dealers in the United States were either remodeling or planned'to remodel their establishments to include handling and stocking equipment that would reduce the cost of building material distribution, President Forrest informed the meeting. Also, most of this yard and plant remodeling would result in a display room where prospective customers could see working displays of windows, doors, cabinets, insulation, wallboard, partitions and other materials.

Too many people, Mr. Forrest stated, fail to realize that (Continued on Page 6)

New Building Next Year Expected To Ercee d 1945 bv 60%

Washington-New construction in the United Statespublic and private-will reach $7.3 billion in 1946, and additional expenditures on repair and maintenance will boost the grand total by at least another $5 billion, according to revised estimates of the Department of Commerce.

Construction-in 1946 should be 60 per cent better than in 1945 if present expectations are fulfilled, the department said.

"The real reason, however, for labeling 1946 a good year is that it will be a year of expansion," William H. Shaw, chief of the department's construction statistics unit, said. "By the end of 1946 we can, and qhould, be building at an annual rate of better than $9 billion, with a goal of at least $12 billion by 1947, and, r.ve hope,'ivell on the way to sustained high employment."

Mr. Shaw said that this "rosy vielv".requires one qualification-the anticipated goals will not be achieved unless manufacturers, dealers, builders, management and labor all work together to keep costs rvithin reason.

"Buyer resistance and economic uncertainties ntight cause a loss of as much as half a billion dollars in 1946 construction volume," Mr. Shaw warned. "Our forecast assumes reasonable 66515-qlsss to present levels-and it assumes the internal cooperation of all segments of the industry as well as a miriimum of materiai and labor bottlenecks. In short, it assumes that the construction industrv will do its share of reconversion and do it well."

Mr. Shaw said that one "striking feature" of the 1946 estimate was that "almost three-fourths of the total is privately financed."

Intercocstal Stecmship Service Resumed

San Francisco, Nov. 6.-Atlantic and Pacific intercoastal steamship service will be resumed tomorrow with sailings from East and West coasts simultaneously, the U. S. Maritime Commission announced today.

The sailings are scheduled from San Francisco and Seattle, eastbound, and from New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia, westbound.

The Maritime Commission said the ships allocated to the service are vessels not available for carrying troops or passengers. They will make the trip via the Panama Canal.

Discuss Reconversion Period Problcmg

(Continued from Page 4)

the lumber dealer handles and distributes practically every building material or building unit that goes into a home. To pre-view your homi:, he said, visit your local lumber dealer.

It was brought out during the meeting, that before the war, lumber dealers built 73% of the homes constructed in the United States; that during the war approximatily 65% ol the lumber healers prefabricated portable farm buildings for the farmers and that 8O/o of these lumber dealers plan to continue to ,manufacture portable farm buildings. It was not surprising therefore, to find that if the prefabricated home was to become a factor in the home building market, lumber dealers would handle and distribute them also.

Although many lumber dealers have not yet begun to experience a flow of materials through their yards, the mood prevailed that the pipelines of distribution rvould be filled in March, when building in most sections of the country actually begins. Freed from most of the buitding restrictions and shackled only to OPA price control, the consensus of the meeting was that if the strike situation lvere straightened out, production and employment would be the salvation of the country during the reconversion period.

I champ at the bit

For that moment ecstatic, When Khaki returns, To a trunk in the attic; And out on the street

I'11 see millions and millions, Of checkered and pin-striped, And shark-skinned civilians.

Fishback.

They're here now. The streets are filled with them. Every train brings them home from the release stations all over the country. In his wonderful speech at the fall of Japan, General MacArthur said: "They're coming home. Take care of them." Well. a lot of them are here. But are we taking care of them? As I read the papers every day, I wonder.

I stood at a safe airt",i". lr,.* o,r,", day and watched a mob scene outside a film studio where an army of men refused entrance to would-be workers. They turned over cars and trucks, smashed the windows, and the men inside got hurt. Men who tried to get through the line were manhandled. Many went to hospitals.

r saw a small group "r:.: "1.,.r,". to the center of the street, moving toward the picket line, and one of them shouted: "We are ex-service men. and we want to work." A great roar greeted them, and they hustled back to the safe side where a great audience watched the show of anarchy. I couldn't help wondering what they thought of the popular war song-"This is worth fighting for?"

"And Jesus said to an.lrjol violence to no man, and be content with your wages.' " (Luke, Chapter 3, Verse 14.) ***

And nobody even suggests that those who got hurt trying to get through that line of men to their work were not within their lawful and constitutional rights.

Which reminds me thal a* *..0 of December lOth has been set aside as "Bill of Rights Week." Whatever became of that bill, anyway?

As this is being written there is gathered in Washington a conference called by the President to try and work out a plan to cure the present'and threatened tidal wave of labor troubles. The biggest trouble is that they are trying to make a horse fit a harness, whereas -""rrriirrg the hai-

ness to the horse has long been considered the proper procedure'

The problem is simply stated, as follows: "How can business and industry pay wages higher than the inflated wages of war times, without raising prices on the products of that labor, and still get by in the postwar highly competitive world?" Simple, isn't it? Many men, including our President, say it can be done. But he was only in business once, and went broke, so he is probably not a competent authority. Business men generally say that it can't. Storm clouds lower while the thing is being fought out, and reconversion is stopped dead in its tracks.

What is worst of all, n:";"*1"", the only thing on top of God's green earth that can ever develop safe and sound postwar prosperity for all deserving people, is stymied. Most of the voices that are raised the loudest today with regard to our economic situation, voice the opinion that high wages, rather than high production is the road to greater purchasing power. Since time began, those who would lift themselves by their bootstraps without regard to the processes of the law of gravity, have been highly vocal. It is true today. Cut production, and you cut pur' chasing power, regardless of the wage level. All sound thinkers agree to that. It is those who have the sound without the thinking, who declare otherwise.

This is, of course, ". :";":ic justification for a fat wage boost for all. It is simply the effort before mentioned, of trying to make a horse fit a harness. It is political appeasement and nothing else. And it is a long step on that downward path-the highway of inflationwhich leads to disaster and despair. Those who clamor for things that can not be safely done-don't care. Yet they are the ones who would suffer most if inflation came.

During the war, uu"irri" ir"J pron*-aking advantages which no longer exist. Most businesses had one great customer-the War Effort-who was in a hurry for production and said "damn the cost." There was no advertising to pay for, no salesmanship to finance, no bad debts to charge off, no prices to shave, no c6mpetition to meet in the price or quality field. It was War Time with all its profit opportunities. All that has changed as business goes into civilian channels again. It wiU take brains, and ingenuity, and great care, and effort, to run a business from now on. During the war, a business couldn't fail if it wanted to. From

(Continued on Page 10)

(Continued from Page 8) ' now on, failure is always a probability. Business must be run in business fashion, or not at all. It cannot do things with its cost system, just because someone wants it to.

No man, not even an. l"rrl"a-or most successful in the past, can possibly foresee what lies ahead of business today, what will be the effects of all the new elements that enter a postwar economy. He must play safe. Maury Maverick, Small War Plants Corporation Chairman, says that the only chance for full employment in the reconversion period is through the coming into existence of more than a million small new businesses. Sounds logical, too. But can you, look about you and even imagine millions of men willing to gamble their money in new businesses with all the hazards that appa.rently face such enterprises today? What we see and read and hear is enough to make investors crawl under the bed and hide, "1",Ta on a long, long fishing trip.

Loud calls are heard all over the lands to get rid of the alphabets and give them back to the children. But the bureaus hold on tight. And most Americans were shocked to learn from Senator Byrd, that the number of civilian employes of the Government in Washington has increased largely since the war ended, although many agencies and bureaus were supposed to be done away with. An increase of nearly one hundred thousand in one month was noted. Which did not simplify the work of the War Chests throughout the copntry this fall, or of the loan drives either.

But though heavy clouds hang low over the world still, thankful let us all be this month because our boys ari no longer facing death on all the seven seas and on all the

With courage, with enthusiasm, with devotion never excelled; with an exaltation and purity of purpose never before equalled, this army fought the battle of free men wherever they might be. Disheartened by no defeat; discouraged by no set-back; appalled by no danger, they neither paused nor swerved'until the enemies of mankind had struck their flag-laid down their arms. Never let us forget, even momentarily, the debt we owe the men who wore our uniform in this last awful war. For that- debt, we can never repay. There is no language that can express our gratitude, our love. These brave, incomparable men fulfilled all our dreams, realized all our hopes. We can but stand in humble silence, and feel what words have never told<an never tell.

In an action, effective November 5, 1945, OPA authorized regional administrators to re-delegate to district di- '' rectors the job of fixing community ceilings on selected ''' building materials. In two actions to be issued shortly, ,. the authority will be made specific with respect to Douglas ' fir plywood and doors, stock millwork, stock screen goods, mechanic or building equipment and some construction materials. Installation charges also may receive commun-' _. ity ceilings, OPA said.

Authoritywasgivenseveralu'eeksagotoregionaladministratorstofixsuchceilings,OPAsaid,buttheredelegation provision was inadvertently omitted from that ' action.

Community dollar-and-cent ceilings will reflect the general level of prices under the applicable regulation-which may be "freeze" prices, or prices calculated by the seller under a formula provided in the regulation-OPA said Community ceilings are determined only after a study of local conditions and selling prices. and do not change the existing level of costs to the consumer, OPA said.

They have the advantage, however, of easing the seller's accounting problems and simplifying the job of enforce' ment, OPA said. Since community ceilings are posted in retail shops, buyers are aware of top legal prices for , all items.

An Asset

And then. of course. there was the business man who had a hacking cough, but wouldn't do anything about it because it always kept the life insurance salesman from bothering him.

She Misunderstood Hrm

When the news went round that Bill, who was notoriously poor in purse and moreover lisped terribly, was going to marry one of the best looking girls in that entire farming territorl, the countryside was agog, wondering how Bill ever induced her to accept him, he being only a poor farmer, and she a most ambitious girl. So, when he dropped into the corner grocery and a gang of his old cronies asked him to explain the mystery, he had this to say:

"You thee, it wath thith way. I had been going to thee her for thum time, but wathn't getting nowhere, and I made up my mind to thay thumthing or busth my thuspenders trying. Tho one night I that down by her and thee began telling me how much property her father had, how many theep and cowth and hogth and all thuch, an I jest set thill an lithened. Finally I thaid-'Lithie, I ain't ath rich ath your pap, but got thix thows an pigs on my farm.' Then thee fell on my cheth an I knowed thee wath mine. You thee, thee thought I thed thix thousand pigs, but I only thed thix thows and pigs. Thee?"

Commonplcce

"A commonplace life" we say as we sigh, But why should we sigh as we say?

The commonplace sun in the commonplace sky Just makes up the commonplace day. The moon and the stars are commonplace things, And the fower that blooms and the bird that sings, But dark were the world, and sad our lot, If the flowers failed, and the sun shone not, And God, who studies eaCh separate soul, Out of commonplace lives makes His wonderful whole.

Misunderstood

Fanny was thoroughly angry at her swimming instructor. She said to her friends:

"The fresh thing ! After I won the swimming race he came up to me and said, "My dear, you kept up your end magnificently.'"

Diflerent-Much Different

Tie women's bridge club was recessing for tefreshments, and while the eating and drinking was going on the anvil ' chorus took up some special work, and some of the more recent town scandals were dragged into the open for discussion.

Asked one: "And have you heard about that blonde secretary in the Jones Insurance Agency? They tell me that she makes just twenty dollars a week, yet she lives in a wonderful apartment, drives a car that cost three thousand dollars. and is one of the best dressed women in this town."

The straight-laced old maid listened to this recital with all ears. She burst out:

"Well! As I live!"

And the other one said: "Oh, no Sister! NOT AS YOU LIVE!"

This Was An Incident

The doctor told him he was discharged cured, and handed him his bill. I.t was a very modest bill, considering that he had set and cared for a broken leg, a fractured arm' a sprained ankle, sewed up his scalp, fixed up his nose, done some skin grafting, and healed a lot of miscellaneous bruises and bumps. The patient looked at the bill and said:

"Doc, you've been mighty good to me and done a fine job all the way through. Wouldn't be surprised if you saved my life. All that worries me now is I don't know when I'll be able to pay you."

The Doctor said r "Why, you told me when you, first came in here that you had six hundred dollars in the bank."

The patient said: "I have Doc, but I'm' saving that for an emergency."

"Lcugh- i -like a boy at splendors that have sped, To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb; By judgments seal the dead past with its deadBut never bind a moment yet to come."

Logging Camps

There ahvays will be logging campsPaul Bunyan told me so

And a man of his experience, I think, must surely know.

Yes, there always will be logging camps

And many lumber mills

Whose echoes will make music

All around the templed hills.

There will always be a logging camp

For there'Il always be a hill, Where forest odors fresh and clean, The air with magic thrill; And there always will be fallers

To fell the stately trees

And trees the fallers fell will fall, Just where tl-re fallers please.

There'Il always be a logging camp

With lumber jacks and all, And voices shouting, "timbe-e-er," Before the great trees fall ; Yes, there'll always be a lumber campPaul Bunyan told me so And a man with.his experience I think, must surely know.

So up here in the western, hills, I'm thankful as can be, For there always will be logging camps And fallers close to me.

Amendment l0 to RMPR 293-Stock Millwork

Washington, D. C., Oct. 3l-Contract sales of special and made-to-order millwork may not be made at prices higher than the seller charged in March, 1942, tl-re Ofl'rce of Price Administration announced today.

Tl-rere has been some question on this point, the price agency said, and some sellers at retail have l>een obtaining higher than their March 1942 prices by computing ceilings under the procedure for pricing stock millrvork other than special or made-to-order millwork.

Stock millwork includes sash, screens, wooden stairr,vays, and other allied wooden components used in building construction.

Lumber Stocks Ramain At Low Level

Lumber stocks at sawmills. and concentration yards totaled 3,386,845,000 board feet, as of August 31, 1945, an increase of 2.9 per cent from the position of these stocks at the end of July, the War Production Board reported today.

The slight increase is not indicative of an upswing in stocks, which remain at a low level, WPB said. It is purely seasonal and results from the established practice in some producing regions of holding dorvn shipments during the summer to take advantage of weather conditions favorable for air-drying.

r

OPA Denies Request lor Mcrk-up

Los Angeles, Calif., Nov. 13-The Office of Price Administration announced today that it had denied a request of lumber wholesalers for an 8 per cent mark-up on mill ceilings. The wholesalers asked permission to acld the 8 per cent to mill prices and let it be absorbed by retailers, and contended such a mark-up would result in better distribution of lumber to smaller retailers. Large line yards, it rvas argued, were able to hire lluyers to go ottt to the mills, and obtain lumber, leaving none to be distributed to the smaller yards who could not afford such buyers. With the 8 per cent mark-up, the rvholesalers.could better serve the smaller retailers, it lvas contended.

In denying the recluest OPA upheld the contention of a large group of retailers, that they could not afford to absorb the requested 8 per cent wholesaler mark-up. Many retailers argued that any increase that they would have to pay, either in the form of a wholesaler mark-up or a higl-rer price to the mill, would have to be passed on to the consumer.

We know only too well what you've been up against little or no lumber in your yard little or less available customers clamoring for stock . . . your own urge to take cate of your trade.

Of this you ccln be cerloin .

'Ve're right in the same boat with you, particularly as to low inventory; we're as downright eager to supply you with lumber as you are to be supplied; we're in peacetime production now; we're going to supply you as rapidly as conditions permit!

Bul ..

Machines and equipment need repairs. These conditions will improve gradually as de' mobilization progresses, but seaeral ntontbs must pass before capacity production can be attained,

So, fodoy.

Lumber we do produce will be prorated so that each customer will get his share . and that share, beginning with the first carload, will measure up to FORDYCE and CROSSETT quality standards you've always known.

Our recent pledge in this sPace stated that, come V-J Day, you Mr. Dealer come first! You do and will . . . in direct ratio

\We're severely short of manpower to our progress towards achieving normal production. lrorrrrr rronr-in the woods and at the mills.
