Maritime Strike Ends

San Francisco, Nov. 23.-A Federal conciliator early today announced the A.F.L. masters, mates and pilots had voted to return to work, removing the last barrier to settlement of the 54-day West Coast maritime strike.

The conciliator, Omar F. Hoskins, said Capt. C. F. May, president of the West Coast local of the masters and mates, informed him the vote was ll23 to 980 to accept working conditions reached in negotiations with the Pacific American Shipowners Association.

Mr. Hoskins said the ,coastwise acceptance by the M.M. P. of the agreement removed the last major barrier to complete resumption of shipping activities on the West Coast.

The International Longshoremen's and'Warehousemen's Union and the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association, both C.I.O., reached an accord with employers earlier this week, but work had been held up pending settlemen of the M.M.P. dispute.

Urge Removal Of AII Controls

Fresno, Nov. l7.-Legislative committeemen oi the California State Builders Exchange, Ltd., meeting here today adopted a petition urging President Harry S. Truman to remove all controls affecting construction, including rent on new dwellings.

The contractors assert the progress of building constmction and development of veteran housing is "handicapped by existing controls."

The President is reminded price controls for practically all commodities, including building materials and wages in the building industry, now have been removed.

Among the remaining controls cited by Harry Ca1' Ford, Fresno, secretary of the State-wide organization, are Civilian Production Administration permits on commercial builclings. The group included representatives from the California State Electrical Contractors Association, Associated General Contractors of America, California Council of Architects, Structural Engineers Association of \orthern California and Painting and Decorating Contractors of America.

Fire At Stockton Y<rrd

Damage estimated at $45,000 was caused by a fire at the yard of San Joaquin Lumber Company, Stockton, November 8. A shed 300 feet long was completell' burned, with its contents, consisting of various kinds of building materials. A little lumber alongside the shed rvas also burned. The shed will be rebuilt as soon as possible.

How Lrumber Lrooks

I'ortland, C)regon, November 19, I946.-October lumber procluction in the Douglas fir belt of Oregon and \\-ashington rvas the highest since June, the weekly average being 122,579,000 board feet, H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, announced today.

October's average weekly production was more than 50 per cent greater than that of October, 1945, and 5,375,000 feet greater than that of September, 1946, Simpson said.

"He clisclosed that gross stocks stand at 462,01O,W board feet, an increase of 41,788,000 feet over September, reflecting the industry's inability to ship its full output due to continuing railway car shortages and the waterfront strike.

"Log inr-entories also are at a peak level,'indicating that \\-est Coast sar,r'mills will continue at their present high production rate throughout the winter," Simpson declared. The outlook for housing lumber is brighter than it has been at anv time since the t'ar.

"Tire industry already is turning out more constru,ction lumber than the lTome-building program can absorb, due to l'inter u'eather and the reluctance of contractors to make 'starts' in the face of non-lumber shortages. This means there are increasing supplies of lumber which should be channeled into commercial construction.

"It is imperative, if there is not to be a waste of building opDortnnitr', that CPA's restrictive controls on commercial

building be abandoned immediately, at least in so far as lumber is concerned."

October's weekly average of" 122,579,000 feet was 84.6 per cent of the 1942-45 average-a period during which the industry worked six days a week instead of the present five.

Orders averaged 124,8y7,ffiO feet; shipments 113,815,000. Weekly averages for September were: Production Ll7,204,000 b.f. (8O.9 per cent of the 1942-45 average) ; orders Ill,226 ; shipments 112,091.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 575,822,000 b.f. at the end of October; gross stocks at 462,A10,0A0.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended November 16, 96 mills reporting, gave orders as 46,918,00O feet, shipmehts 54,W7,Un feet, and production 64,482,0@ feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 163.367.000 feet.

The Southern Pine Ass;ociation for the week ended November 16, 80 units (110 mills) reporting, gave orders as 10,486,000 feet, shipments 13,569,000 feet, and production I4,832,m0 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 7I,025,W feet.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended November 16, 139 mills reporting, gave orders as 63,481,000 feet, shipments 71,077,W feet, and production 80,74t,O00 feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the week totaled 477,669,W f.eet.

NLMA Annual Meetins

A clear-cut demand that the lumber industry be freed from artificial restrictions imposed by government controls was laid down by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association at its annual meeting at New Orleans early in November.

C. Arthur Bruce, Memphis, Tennessee, president, and Richard A. Colgan, Jr., Washington, D. C., executive vice president, were reelected by the board of directors to serve another year.

Of wide interest in the lumber industry was the discussion of the board of directors to hold a Lumber Congress in the spring of. 1947. All members of the regional associations of NLMA and representatives of other branches of the industry will be invited to participate. This will be the first such general gathering of the industry since the I92O's.

Keynote of the policy statement adopted at the meeting of the board of directors was a demand Tor "immediate termination of all war-time controls of the civilian economy." Stating that these controls were enacted by the government to meet the exigencies of the war, the directors pointed out that the controls carried a "concomitant implication that they would be abandoned when hostilities ended." "The war has been over sufficiently long. and the period of reconversion far enough advanced, to lvarrant immediate termination of these controls and a replacing of government regulation with competition and genuine collective bargaining," the declaration said.

The policy, as adopted, opposes government competition, discrimination, and subsidization in any form as detrimental to the economy.

The statement was prefaced with a plea for the return of -A.merican business to the competitive, free enterprise system l'hich "has brought to the American people the

highest standard of living in the world Through it, we have achieved greater freedoms, privileges, and opportunities than those known to other nations."

"We abhor the recent tendency of many of those in Government to endeavor to impose Government on the people and to direct their actions. Government regimentation has become well entrenched in many economic fields."

"This trend should now be reversed and personal and economic freedoms and competitive markets re-established."

Applying this basic philosophy to forest policy, the Association stated: "Permanent lumber and other forestusing industries are essential to the national welfare. We recognize the vital relation of forest conservation to the permanency of such industries and their employment. We believe that in forest ownership, operation and renewal, the fullest possible reliance upon private enterprise and initiative should be continued."

"The cooperative and educational approach to forest problems should be more fully developed, but the Federal Government should help, not direct."

Officers for the coming year are C. Arthur Bruce, Memphis, president; A. J. Glassow, Bend, Oregon, first vice president; John B. Veach, Washington, D. C., vice president and treasurer. The following regional vice presidents were elected: August J. Strange, LaGrande, Oregon; C. H. Kreienbaum, Shelton, 'Washington; 'Q. T. Hardtner, IJrania, Louisiana; and H. C. Parrish, Norfolk, Virginia.

R. A. Colgan, Jr., and Henry Bahr were reelected executive vice president and secretary, respectively.

Where we stand on the R E DWOOD STRIKE

\Torkers in the Redwood industry have been on strike more than ten months. It has been said that that's too long to drag out any strike. We agree. We also agree that the workers, the public, the Union and the Companies each have basic rights which all must recognize.

r$7e believe, as the result of many meetings with Union representatives since the start of the strike, that the Union and the Companies are in substantial agreement on all issues except tn'o, which ate concerned with UNION SECURITY and with STATUS OF PRESENT EMPLOYEES.

WHY WIDEN THE BREACH? ve have been informed that the Brotherhood of Caroenters & Joiners is sending representatives into the Redwood area, from the Northwest, in an effort to make the strike more effective against the major mills; and to compel new and smaller mills to accept Union Shop and other demands, or be shut down. It is regrettable that these outiide men are being sent in foithe purpose of prolonging the strike, instead of negotiating a settlement.

WHERE WE STAND. It is important that the Brotherhood, the public and our new and old employees, clearly understand the position of the struck companies on the only two issues on which there is real disagreement. Here, then, is our position:

l. UNION SECURITY. The employers will agree upon a Union Security provision which Ieaves each employee free to make his own decision as to Union membershio He will have freedom to choose for himself whether to join or not to join the Union. If he joins, he will have further freedom of choice to remain a member of the Union, or resign, if he cares to, at the end of any contract year.

2. STATUS OF PRESENT EXIPLOYEES. union representatives have stated that as a condition of settling the strike, the employers must agree to restore all stiking employees to the same iobs held by them before the strike. lYe cannot agree to a ploposal ,bd, preten, inployees sball be d.itcbaryed or traxslerred when the strike is settled.

'Where jobs have already been filled, we will not discharge or transfer employees on such jobs, so long as these employees continue to perform their duties satisfactorily; and so long as such jobs are necessary to the continued operation of the Companies' business.

REDWOOD

The employers will, however, agree that if jobs are still unhlled when the strike is settled, striking employees will be given preference in the flling of such jobs. Extreme shortages of lumber and the enormous demand are such as to make it practically certain that all striking employees will find- jobs with the Companies where they worked uR to the day of the strike; or within the Redwood industry. If the strike is settled soon, many men now on strike will find their old jobs open and ready for them to take over.

WHAT ABOUT THESE RIGHTS? The Brotherhood of Carpenters must assume the responsibility of seeing to it that its representatives, local strike leaders, pickets and all those participating in the strike conduct themselves in a lawful manner and recognize fully the basic rights of others. For example:

l. fhe righr of every mcn to work, if ond whcn ond where he derires, without inferference or coercion; ond to loin or nol loin lhe Union ar hc rce: 01.

2. Tha righr of cmployerr lo ccrly on lhcir oporolioni withoul inlerference, rubiecr only lo peocc. ful ond lowful pickctinE.

3, Ihe right of the public to enioy peocc in the communily ond to purchcse ond u:c ruch produd: cr lhcy dctirc.

These rights of the individual workers, the employers and the public are as basic and elemental as the right of the Union to carry on peaceful picketing. Yet, the strike is prolonged while Union leaders seek to abolish these rights.

'We stand ready now, as we have been at all times in the past, to negotiate a fair settlement of the strike. Meanwhile, in the interests of the Redwood lumber industry and to help supply the critical need for lumber, we shall cootinue to operate and to employ men without discrimination as to membership or non-membership in the Union.

INDUSTRIAL RETATIONS CO'VIMITTEE ON BEHAIF OF STRUCK COftIPANIES

On this beautiful sun-kissed Thanksgiving Day, it is one sweetly solemn thought that throughout this year we have used the Army for nothing more serious than battling Notre Dame.

The best gag of .r," iorrrlr,. i, u"irrg kicked back and forth across the airways. It says that Margaret Truman showed up at the Metropolitan Opera House the other night.She did not go to see the opera; she just dropped in to see if they could use another piano player.

Talk about opportunitl r tlr." lrrr,,,"r, ! He has dropped about as far in popular and political esteem as any top man in our history. And yet, he has the chance right now to pull himself out of the cellar and even to the top of the heap. All he would have to do would be handle John L. Lewis. And when I say handle, I mean handle. Handle him just like Lewis handles the public.

He might even be .r.l,.uLru]ru"r,,; something he has as much chance for right now as a lamb in a lion's cage. The American people would rally solidly behind any m:rnlike effort to put an end to the power of Lewis and every other man whose words and acts interfere with the public welfare. Will the little man from Missouri rise to the opportunity? We have had many Presidents who could and would have handled this situation with the speed of lightning and the roar of thunder. Think what Teddy Roosevelt would do in a case like this. He would simply say"No man is greater than the law, or above the reach of an enraged public. Let's go!" Anyone knows that it could be done. But it takes intestinal fortitude backed by herioc action. Has Harry got 'em?

Thought r might *rrr.*onr*r."J.r" " picture of the lumber situation as it is today, but I find that about as easy

RETNEIUIBER ! ! !

as explaining Einstein's theory of relativity. I can't offer a very general or clear picture of the lumber situation that results from the termination of OPA controls. I can see lots of trees, but can't outline the forest yet. Most surveyors of the situation feel that *same way.

The lumber industry reminds me of the fix the people of a thoroughly bombed city 'must be in, the morning after the bombs drop. Everyone in the business is busily engaged in trying to get his bearings and dig himself out. The fog resulting frorn the long stretch of regulations and restrictions does not clear away in a hurry. Each thiaking man in the lumber bu.siness is surveying his own situation, and doing the best he can to get it lined up with the industry generally, and back into normal thinking and doing. * * ,r

All of a sudden price controls were entirely lifted. But there remained in effect the improvised laws and rules covering priorities and directives. The Government can still tell a lumber manufacturer where he must distribute a large part of his production; but can no longer tell him what he can charge for it. The CPA can issue a directive to a mill, commanding the shipment of a certain amount of lumber to certain parties, but the mill can put any price on the stuff it pleases. Just how much power still remains in a directive under such conditions, remains to be seen- From where I sit, it looks like*a small*zero mark.

The Government can still issue priority orders to the mills telling them what percentages of their production must be distributed in various directions; but again the mill can nullify any orders it does not approve of by putting its own price on them. * *

The minute price ceilings were terminated, a wild scramble for lumber began. For two or three days and nights ' (Continued on Page 10)

The fqte of the lumber qnd building moteriol mqrkets for o long time to come msy depend on how much sound iudgment is used TODAY by those who mcrke the prices on these mcrteriqls. With reckless bid' ding going on, regrettable heighrs mqy develop. But don't forget for cr moment thqf wild prices will cer' toinly bring wild reoctioni thot whqt goes upr comes downi thot lhe higher it goes, the horder it folls; that Gommon sense is bodly needed, ond thql c perpendiculor rise in prices is certqin to be followed by o per' pendiculor drop before too long. Sonity is vitol ot o fime when ofiers far nbove cll price lists qre on every hond.

(Continued from Pagc 6) following the release, the telephone and telegraph services were swamped by prospective and hopeful lumber buyers. I am told that throughout the land the sales heads for big lumber concerns had to virtually go into hiding to evade the clamorous efrorts of lumber buyers to get to them, and get a promise of lumber.

***

I have personally seen innumerable telegrams and mail sent to lumber salesmen, offering to buy lumber, any lumber, and ask no questions as to price. This, I believe, was common practice for a few days. "The ceilings are past, we want to get back into business like in old days, please advise how many cars or trucks of lumber you can sell us. The price you make is the price we will cheerfully pay." The buyers market had suddenly become even stronger than at any previous time. It was a ticklish situation, in which wild buyers and gamblers put a severe strain on the good intentions of some lumber salesmen who had hoped and promised to keep their prices within bounds.

***

This might be well said right here, however, that the highest prices I have seen offered for lumber since the controls were lifted were lower than I have seen paid innu,merable times for sorry and inferior lumber under the Black Market of recent months.

To put the thing tersely, some salesmen undoubtedly fell for the bait of high price offers, thus establishing precedents that are scattered but reflect against the industry generally. It was human nature that such a thing should be. The average lumberman of my acquaintance, however, has stood his ground well. As the head of one big lumber manufacturing concern said: "Not one of the solid buyers and customers we know, has made us any wild offers. That sort came from less known and less reliable sources; men gambling on the market."

*{<*

The lumber manufacturers of my acquaintance got busy getting out new price lists. All of them increased their prices over recent OPA levels. The amount of increase varied. It must be remembered that no flat horizontal price increase was practical, because OPA confusion in price making had gotten the relationship between the various lumber items all topsy-turvy. One of the first things lumber manufacturers wanted to do was get proper price relationship between various items, reestablished, just as they used to be, or as near that as possible.

For example, I have in mind one single item of Yellow Pine lumber. Under OPA this item could be dressed one way, and take a ceiling price of $66.75, for use in home finishing. Or it could be run through a machine another way, and take a price of $S3.SO. Or it could be machined in still another fashion, and take an OPA price of $97. Get it? This is one of the things the mills kicked hardest about all the time OPA was fixing ceilings. Now the mills want to get the proper relationship between the various items and grades of lumber so that such infamy as just

mentioned above would be impossible. That is one of the things the mill men are trying to work out with their new price lists. It can't be done in a day, and it v.rill be some little time before the proper equilibrium is restored.

Not having available the price situations that prevail throughout the industry, let me use one species as an example of what's going on: Yellow Pine, which plays a dominant part in t|grWhole industry. I have before me the new price list of a large manufacturer of Yellow Pine, with a reputation generdtions old for keeping its feet on the ground. I compared those prices with the Yellotv Pine prices that prevailed in the spring of. 1921, at which time the postwar demand had gotten in its work, and prices were higher thari they had ever been before.

Clear finish and flooring in the spring of. l92L were, according to my figures, $30 a thousand higher than they are on this price list of today. Shiplap and boards were $5 and $10 higher than they are right now. The entire list on this new price set-up, is about 20o/o lower than during the high tide that followed World War One. Yellow Pine stumpage today is from TWO TO THREE TIMES AS HIGH as it was then. Labor wages in the Yellow Pine mills today are at least THREE TIMES as high as they were in the spring of. 192t. All other costs of making lumber are enormously higher today than they were then.

r asked one Yellow J"". *:""facturer what he was basing his new price list on, and he said he was trying to figure to get as much for his stumpage as he can sell it ' for in the open market today, and that he asks no more. Few Yellow Pine mills in the last two years have shown as much pro6t as they could get by simply selling their timber instead of cutting it. They think they are entitled to that.

***

What is going to happen to lumber prices in the next month or so, I would not even hazard. a guess. Right now the pressure is terrific, with all yards and sheds and warehouses empty, and a stupendous building program sitting on the doorstep. But whatever happens in the immediate future, I have no doubt that it will soon readjust itself. With worlds of partly finished buildings to be found all over the land, there are plenty of buyers who will pay any price; which makes it hard on folks who w6uld like to hold to a sensible price level.

It seems reasonable .n; ;"t. will be an immediate increase in the production of good lumber. ft is already very noticeable that the thousands and thousands of eager lumber buyers so plainly in evidence, no longer are interested in badly made, badly seasoned, badly qualified lumber such as the Black Market has specialized in. The lumber yards and lumber buyers are eager, but they want good lumber, and they are turning down the other kind. The day of the sickening Black Market quality lumber is

already gone. So the mills, thousands and thousands of them, that have been specializing in that sort of stuff, must fold up or make decent lumber. I believe that after the first of the coming year there will be a rapid increase in the production of good lumber from one end of the country to the other.

with the law of ""ontJ"ri J"*"r,a back on the job, r confidently expect to see a heavy decline in what up to now has seemed to be an insatiable demand for homes and other buildings; especially homes. We hear and read so much about the terrific demand for G.I. homes, but the retail lumber dealers I talk to tell me that only a small part of the people who come howling to them for homes are G.I.'s, and that the G.I. demand is heavily inflated. Always when necessities are scarce, a cry goes up that seems to reach the skies, demanding those scarce articles. But when the supply returns, a whole lot of that pressure proves to be phony. As I quoted a friend saying recentlyt "Thousands demand ten rooms and a bath who never had more than two rooms and a path," and the ten room demand will subside very quickly when supply comes back.

r have watched .rr. ""rlpig,i or rvrr. Wilson wyatt as closely as possible, and have tried to judge it with an open mind. And I can come to but one conclusion, which is that his operations have unquestionably impeded rather than assisted building, and that we would be far better supplied with homes and every other sort of building to-

day if controls had been taken off last January and the professional building industry allowed to go to work to solve the building problem in normal and sensible fashion. I think Mr. Wyatt has created nothing but building con. fusion, produced nothing bu,t impractical building plans. The quicker the Government gets Mr. Wyatt back into civilian life and removes the controls on building, the sooner we will get our problems really solved. As Kipling said: "And now we know they could ne.rrer know horv, and never could understand." I think Mr. Wyatt means well. But I also recall with what substance the roadway to hell is paved; good intentions. Remember?

To every thinking member of the lumber industry wherever located, a wise suggestion would be to plan and act carefully every step you go in these difficult times, and, as Mr. Shakespeare wrote: "Awake your senses that you may the better judge."

And lt Didn't Count

Another football story that was told long, long ago in this column, but which is so good it should never Te forgotteq is the one about the wild-eyed Notre Dame fan, back in the days when Rockne's inspired teams were making football history in a form and fashion that football history had never been made before.

This guy's enthusiasm knew no bounds, and in a crowd of football fans he was loudly proclaiming and declaring that the Rockne team right then was the greatest team ever seen on top of this earth.

"Just ,think," he shouted, "two whole seasons against the greatest teams from all parts of the country, and never a defeat for Notre Dame !"

Another guy rises in wrath and said: "\Mhat do you mean they didn't lose a game in two years? What about the beating USC gave them just a month ago?"

"That doesn't count," stoutly declared the Rockne booster.

"Why doesn't it count?" his tormentor wanted to know.

"Because the Pope annulled that," said the Notre Dame guy.

Shevlin Pine Sales Company Oudines Sales Policy

L. O. Tal-lor, general manager of the Shevlin Pine Sales Companr'. Ilinneapolis, Minn., on November 18 sent the follol'ing letter to all their district sales managers and salesmen aclvising thel' will issue a nelv pric€ list ver.r' soon :

"\\-ith Governnrent price controls removed, n'e shall ver\- soo1l issue a new price list which will follorv verlcloseh- the Ponderosa and Sugar Pine prices shown in Second Relised MPR 94, effective November 4, 1946.

"The increase in ceiling prices for our product issued b1- OP-\ during the past few months was long delayed but finalll- brought about an average price that permitted our mills to operate under today's manufacturing costs. During the 1'ears of price control there were many arbitrary changes and adjustments issued and, as a resirlt, there developed an unbalanced price relationship between various grades. Because of this condition some prices became too high and others too low. Our new price list will contain no radical changes but there will be some increases and some decreases from RMPR 94, effective November 1, 1916, in order to re-establish the proper relationship betr-een grades.

"Present prices are high, necessarily so because of increasecl costs particularly labor, which has increased over 55% since January l, 194t. We feel that our labor is being r-erv rvell paid today, their increased earnings being materially tnore than the increased cost oT living' It is hopecl, therefore, that a further wage increase will not be necessar\- as such an increase rvould necessitate further adlance in prices.

"If it is possible to secure improvement in the efficiency of labor and other items, it would enable us to make a reduction in prices. \Me are most anxious to have our product reach the consumer at the lowest prices possible and l'ith so much additional housing required for returned 'r-eterans it is hoped that material for such houses car-r be made available at prices lorver than those in effect today.

"The mills of the McCloud River Lumber Company at McCloud, California, and The Shevlin-Hixon Company at Bend. Oregon, are continuing the same production schedule that ther' l-rave been maintaining during 1946 and it is their desire to maintain this same production level."

With Price Ceilings Off Lumber Production Will Resume lts Normal Balance

\\/ashington, D.C., November l3.-"Removal of lumber from price controls t'ill open the door to increased production of m'any essential lurnber items for housing," Richard A. Colgan, Jr., exectttive vice president of the National Lnrnber Mannfacturers Association. said in a statement todal-.

"Over-all lurlber production has been more than ample to meet all the needs of the veterans' housing program," NIr. Colgan added. "All reports point to a 30 billion board feet cut f.or 1946-neary four times the 8.1 billion feet estimated by Mr. \\ryatt as needed to complete his housing program this year."

"With price ceilings off, our production will resume its norfnal balance. Certain manufactured itemsmainly flooring, milhvork, moulding, and trimwhich have been critically scarce because of the slowness of OPA to grant justifiable price increases on these items will now start to be produced," Mr. Colgan declared.

Maldistribution of lumber as a result of governmental channeling efforts is still hampering builders in some areas, Mr. Colgan said, and the shortage of freight cars has further complicated this picture.

"But the raw board production is there," he added, "and if remaining controls were lifted, adequate distribution of products would quickly follow."

The 1946 production figure30 billiion board feetis 19 per cent greater than the average yearly cut of the five-year period preceding the war and approaches the heavy average of the war years, l94I-I945.

"Although inventories are still drastically below normal," Mr. Colgan said, "stocks at both yards and mills have been showing slight increases for the first time since the beginning of the defense program in 1941."

As further evidence of the size of the lumber production program, Mr. Colgan pointed out that emplovmeut in the forest industries is at its highest point since the 1920's, with an estimated 1,300,000 persons engaged in the forest industries. Total, wages for this industry will reach over trvo and one-half billion dollars for the year 1946.

Peerless Holds The Line

In a recent letter to the retail lumber tiade, Peerless Built-in F'ixture Company, Berkeley, California, announced its firm intention to hold the line against rising prices, and urged dealers to do the same as far as possible. The letter was as follorvs :

Dear Dealer:

Here at the Peerless factory we are all pleased with the prospect of entering a free market again.

While \ve see many problems ahead in getting the building market leveled out again, we are anxious to do our part in working out these problems. The thing that we are most apprehensive about is the probability of the whole industry pricing itself "out of the market", especialllresidential building. This includes mechanics or labor involved in home building. Because there is this possibility we wish to go on record to assure our dealers that we are going to hold to the previous OPA ceiling prices and will maintain these prices as long as we are not forced to make an increase because of rises in material prices and labor wages.

We feel that your margin of profit should be maintained because we know that your costs are also going to rise, and with your co-operation, help, and advice, we are glad to enter this period of readjustment.

For approximately five years we have been under a controlled market which has chafed and galled many of us. With a cheer for free enterprise, we remain,

Sincerely yours,

Peerless Built-in Fixture Company

Ray B. Cox, president of the company, was quite optimistic for the future, provided building costs do not get out of line. "We look for speedy improvement in the flolv of raw materials," he said, "and we are sure to be in better position to supply our dealers rvith their requirements."

The tearful ignorance of the one is just as consoling as the learned and unmeaning words of the other. No man, standing where the horizon of a life has touched a grave, has any right to prophesy a future filled with pain and tears. It may be that death gives all there is of worth to life.

The Heart Of A Friend

-lhe outcroppirtg dren' our attention

And the colors looked good from the start, So we follou'ed a lead that rvas clearly defined And struck it rich in your heart.'

And there with the gold dust and flake gold, Were nuggets all burnished and bright, That glowed when the day star was smilir,g And shone through the shadows of night. We staked out our claims rvith assurance

And we're holding the same to the end; They are not for sale and they can't be jumped For they lie in the heart of a friend; And we need no assayer to tell us The worth of the treasure we hold, For time and change have assaYed it And each test proved it gold-pure gold.

Now this in our miner's lingo Is what we are trying to say;

The pay streaks by friendship developed, Grow wider and deeper each day; And whether we journey together, Or on trails that lie somewhat apart, We know Lady Luck will be with us, For we've struck it rich in your heart.

There's many a famous bonanza Endowing its owners with gold, But material riches are trickY, Not easy to have and to hold; While the wealth of the mind Remains to the long journeY's An inexhaustible treasure In the loyal heart of a friend.

When Tru-Sized or Factri-Fit doors are installed in Tru-Sized jambs, last minute trimming, planing and fitting is entirely eliminated, and a oerfect installation is assured.

Bcy Cox Returns From Extended TriP

Hitting the market at one of the most crucial times in the nation's building history, the new Wheeler Osgood Tru-Sized Door Jamb with patents applied for has been acclaimed as one of the most advanced ideas in door jambs ever developed.

The new Tru-Sized jamb actually cuts installation time from an average of one and a half hours to 8 to 10 minutes. It comes from the factory completely precision machined and built.

There are only three precision milled pieces to handle, and they are adjusted one at a time. The Tru-Sized jamb eliminates making dados, placing and fitting blocks, squaring and plumbing rvith wedges, gaining for hinges, and cutting and installing stoPs.

Packaged two to a bundle in protective paper wrapping, Tru-Sized jambs come complete with all necessary hardware and full instructions for installation. Each set includes hinge jamb (rvith starter block glued in place at

Ray B. Cox, president of Peerless Built-in Fixture Company, Berkeley, California, has returned from a five week motor trip with Mrs. Cox in which they covered 10,000 miles. The trip was one in which vacationing was blended with business. Points visited included New England, New York state, Virginia, the Tennessee Valley project, New Orleans, Grand Canyon, and Boulder Dam' They called on the Peerless company's suppliers of metal "qrrip*"rrt and cabinet hardware, and had an opportunity to look over the eastern lumber situation. From a vacationing standpoint, one of the highlights was the autumn foliage in northern New York. "No artists could possibli' depict the beauty of the painted woodsides, with their crimsons and golds," Mr. Cox said, and added that this feature rvas about the only way in which nature has neglected the San Francisco Bay area.

Frank F. Fee, general.manager of Special Materials u'ith warehouses at 3330 F,. I2th Street, Oakland, and 26ffi Harrison Street, San Francisco, is introducing a new idea in home construction-Aero-Bilt Home Sections.

In discussing the new idea Mr. Fee, who has had rvide experience in the merchandising of building materials, said:

"These sections are made of kiln-dried lumber, and plyrvood permanently glued with waterproof glue. The variety of sections includes wall panels, with or without lvindows, floor and ceiling panels, and wall panels, including flush doors. The sections may be combined to fit an1' floor plan and are so versatile in use that no two houses need be alike inside or out.

"An average size 5 or 6 room home can be erected to the point rvhere, ordinarily, one would have the inside wall coverings applied in a few days. Any decorating medium may be used to finish the inside and outside walls as there are a number of finishes available.

"Special Materials is confident that they now have good, low cost, permanent housing that gets away from the faults of prefabricated housing and yet retain the advantages.

"These panels are available on H. H. prioritv and have N.H.A. approval and may be financed r,vith F.H.A. loans. The sections for an average size veteran's home may be stored in a space one-third the size of a box car. Where it is necessary to install pipes and drains, as in bathroom 'ivalls, 6" rvalls have been provided, with the inside plyrvood wall to be nailed and glued in place after installations and inspection of plumbing are completed.

"Aero-Bilt sections eliminate the long searching for sash and doors, sub-flooring, sheathing and interior wall coverings, and make building a home a matter of days rather than weeks and months. The miniature and full-size displays in the Special materials warehouses rvill be a matter of gleat interest to all builders."
