Shingle Quota Increased Protest Proposed Rate lncrease
Announcement was made October 31 by Charles McGrath, secretary-manager of the Washington and Oregon Shingle Association, Seattle, that the Lumber Code Authority had increased the production quota of Red Cedar shingles by 5O per cent for the fourth quarter. This means that an additional 500,000 squares has been added to the original quota of 1,000,000 squares.
Mr. McGrath stated that the demand during the first three weeks of October was such that the mills produced almost 40 per cent of their quota, and sales exceeded 33 per cent. The quota increase was granted as a result of a recommendation by the production committee of the association. It wil mean 50 per cent more work hours for shingle mill workers for the rest of this year.
