That Is Worth
Your Attention
Few northern o])crators are so well
eciuipped as we to handle large proiluc-
tioii. Our five hand mills cutting 100,000.-
0(30 feet annually of hardwoods, hemlock
and pine are strategically located for
timber of transportation, llehind them
are complete planing mill facilities. The
personnel of the organization was selected
for unusual practical experience. These
points count strongly to the discriminating-
buyer who wants something quickly. We
can always cut special orders in hard-
woods or hemlock dimension. Our regular
specialty is the famous Shawano County
hard maple up to three inches thick and
hearts and skid stock for the industrial
trade.
While present orders are usually small,
they serve well for a trial. Let us tigure

General Market Conditions
•-pHIS WEEK'S ATTEMPT to picture conditions in the major
*■ hardwood markets, to sketch causes and possible results, and
to indicate thoughts which might profitably be further pur-
sued, must of necessity be closely in line with accounts during the
past few issues. Hardwood Record believes that the readjustment
processes have reached that point where individual occurrences here
and there will have a minimum of direct effect on the major course
of events, and where movements must be reckoned as tendencies, and
not as individual facts in themselves. In short, the long haul is
more than ever apparently with us, and it is going to be a haul up-
wards very gradually, but consistently. The road wUl not be with-
out its bumps and ruts, but it is likely that these will gradually be-
come less and less frequent, until they eventually lead to the smooth
highway of progress. To abandon the simile, conditions are better
than they were, and probably will continue better, but this progress
will not he regular. Distress offerings will here and there find the
market. Conditions will develoji in this or that industry to further
postpone renewal of activity. P^inancial questions will here and there
be almost impossible of solution, but because we have reached the
point where tendency and not individual happenings mark the course
of future business, these individual occurences will not be sufficiently
powerful in themselves to divert the main comae of business prog-
ress.
There are many troublesome factors to contend with. Many com-
munities, both large and small, had anticipated a heavy volume of
building during the summer months. This revival hag apparently
awaited a more reasonable labor charge, as materials in the main
have been strongly reduced. Attempts to reduce labor costs have met
with such opposition that in some cases they are likely to result in
a more complete tie-up of building than ever. But in spite of this
the general tendency indicates increasing total volume.
Large building projects and the purchase of agricultural imple-
J~ ments have apjiarently been indefinitely postponed in rural districts.
cy> Yet the tendency is progressive even there, for there is a large vol-
I ume of small repair and enlargement projects, and while the farmer
^3 is not buying his instruments, many small town dealers in Ford, and
>-
other small automobiles, report themselves oversold to the rural
trade.
Merchandise in general is showing fairly satisfactory and acceler-
ated volume of movement. While unemployment in general is still
increasing, as some industries felt a pinch of conditoins only recently,
those industries which were first hit, have now reached the up-grade,
and are gradually taking on men. This means a gradual revival of
buying power.
As to hardwood conditions — there is no reason to change estimates
of what may be anticipated. The further we go, the more apparent
it becomes that firsts and seconds grades in hardwoods are relatively
an unknown quantity. For instance, mills offering a million or two
million feet of oak, will show a carload or two of firsts and seconds.
The tendency toward the complete shut-down of plants is more
marked than it was thirty days ago. Hardwood Record reaffirms
its belief that practically all of the southern hardwoods to be made
this year will be in pile by the first of July. The logs now being
cut are of poor quality because through exposure in the ditches they
have greatly deteriorated. New logs are not coming out. Mills are
operating only to clean up these accumulations. Because most hard-
wood mills are sawing only such timber, the resulting first and second
lumber will be practically negligible. In fact, so deplorably broken
is the visible supply of dry firsts and seconds, that large buyers might
very well begin to show some concern as to future stocks of No. 1
common.
Hardwood Record wishes to emphasize that this is a true report
of mill conditions that can readily be verified by any factory buyer
who wishes to carefully analyze mill offerings. The invariable rule
Is that a developing scarcity of firsts and seconds will, as soon as it
is manifest, have a strong lifting influence on the next lower grade.
Hardwood Record strongly councils buyers to determine for them-
selves the relative amounts of the principal grades used, as it is im-
possible that the saw mills can greatly add to the amount of upper
grades now offered.

issue, the text of the code was foinuilated and eomjjleted iu March,
l>iit as a courtesy 1o the National Hardwood LuinUer Association,
it was not released until the early part of this month.
'I'lii- |(ro[]osals contained in the present draft of the Code are the
result of conscientious study by its promulgators to perfect an instru-
ment that mi«ht eliminate a large measure of the present lack of
unifoiniity iu liardwood sales ethics and terms. It i.s not claimed for
it tliat it is perfect, nor does IlAunwoiin Kkcoiu) feel itself in position
at the present time to unqualifiedly urge its adcjpticm. 'I'lie fact,
though, that tlie Code -was formulateil. and tli;it the l.uirdiernn'U 's
Club of Mi'mphis is spending a great di'.-il of tiiue and money in de
served jmblicity for it, constitutes a thoroughly satisfactory reason
why eviTy man interested in h.-udwoo.ls should give the Code as
issui'd. veiy careful consideration.
The editors of U.miDWOOD Kki oito have been iireseiit on two or
three occasions of laic, where, at local meetings of hardwood nn-n,
the proposal to endorse or rejict the Code came u|). In each case, it
developed that but few nieniliers present ;it these respective meetings
had taken the time to lead t]\v co)iy of the )iroposed Code which was
mailed by the Mein)jhis Club to all members of the National Hard
wood l.nndier Association. Obx ionsly, as the proposal will come
onto the lloor of the annual convention of the latter organization in
June, every hardwood nmn should, in the interest of his own business.
take sufticient time to carefully study the judvisious itained in
the suggested domunent.
Standardized h.-inhvood iusiiection has become a reality, and its
benefits to the iiidnstry are manliest. St.'iudardization sales terms are
thi' twin to standanlized grading rules. The millennium in the iu-
d\i.strv is a li>ng way olT. hut it is cudy by thus aihaniing sfrp by ste[i
that it can be e\i'n .-ipproarhed. LumlMTUii'ii in gi-ne/al .-olniii their
weakiH'SS in etlicient uieirlKindisiug, b\it show by their ccuistaut
striving for bett. lunMit that they recogni/.e that necessity. A uniform
sales code has been persistently sought for many years. Never be-
fore, tinmgh. has any movement looking to this end gained so much
monn'ntum iu its insipieney. Admittedly, the principal of standard-
ization is correct. Apparently (and logically, considering the cliar-
.acter of nu'U interested in it) the main provisions of the Code are
.such as to ])rove fair to all factors involved in the marketing of harfl
wood lumber. If there are inconsistencies, or errors, or provisions
which might prove a hardship, those points must l)e brought to
light through individual analysis of the jilans outlined. Only through
such means may intelligent action be taken when the program is
otliciallv on the boards.
Standardization of Dimension
IN ANOTHEK I'AKT OF TiilS IS.SCE li.vKHwoi.]. Ki-aonii has
the pleasure of publishing the first of three p;ipi-rs on the
problems involved in tlie standardization of dimension stock,
written by W. A. Babbitt, chairman of the committee of standard-
ization of the Association of "Wood Using Industries.
In a statement directing the .attention of H.\niiW(i(iii Ki-;i oRD
to his discussion of the dimension standardization problem Mr.
Babbitt exjilains that "the main jjurjiose of the series is to
acquaint lumbermen and wood fabricators with the fundamental
jiroblems involved in the standardization program." After ex-
jiressing the hope that they will result in ''instructive and con-
structive exchange of criticisms and suggestions," he announces
that the "further purpose of these papers is to restrain lumbermen
from rushing into production of quantities of dimension stock
before their mills are properly equipped for this kind of produc-
tion, and before the necessary standards are established, without
which it is a practical certainty that their attempts to manufac-
ture and market dimension stock will be no more satisfactory
I han ill times past.' '
.Mr. iiabbitt 's committee is afraid that the jiresent stagnation
ill demand for the common grades of hardwood lumber may lead
some lumber manufacturers to saw their accumulated stock into
dimension with the hope of marketing the dimension where they
could not market the lumber. But he warns that this would be
a grave and sorely disappointing error, and tells the editors of
the trade press that he depends upon them to caution the lumber-
men against it. "We must depend upon you," the committee
says, "to warn lumbermen that the market for any and all kinds
of dimension stock is just as flat as the market for merchantable
liiiiiber. Prominent lumbermen have intimated to the writer that
they were ready to cut such lumber into dimension. This would
be .1 big mistake. So far as I can judge, the requirements for
dimension are so small at this time as to offer no relief to lumber-
men who are compelled to find a market, in spite of unfavorable
conditions. ' '
The committee realizes that the task it has undertaken is a
colossal one and that they must jiroceed to work it out with care
and caution, avoiding all temptation to haste. Thus the committee
is anxious that .the lumber industry make no abortive incursions
into the dimension field, which would certainly result in disap-
pointment and create prejudices which would seriously augment
the labors of the committee. So many things are involved in this
dimension problem that can only be solved by goodwill and
co-operation that Mr. Babbitt and his associates want to risk no
opportunity to preserve these two requisites from attenuation.
The ojieiiing article of this series reveals careful preparation
and if it is a fair sample of the two that will follow, it is safe to
predict that when publication of the three has been completed
there will exist in the ranks of the producers of lumber and the
fabricators of wood much more sympathy with and uuderstanding
of the dimension stock problem than is present now.

Chairman of Standardization Committee of Association of Wood Using Industries
Discusses Some of the Problems That Must Be Overcome

the problems. Tt is to be hoped, howevi'r. that these studies will
serve to stiimilate tin' rapidly growing interest in the stamlanl
ization program, and to call forth suggestions and cipiistrui-tive
critieisnis from all roncerned.
lu order that lumlier men and woodusers, who lia\c' nut had the
(jpportuuity to follow the development of the standardization jiro
gr.am thus f.ar, may get in toueh with the situation, a little history
might be worthwhile.
The beginnings of the program are to be found in tlir,etforts
of one of the afHiliated associations of the .Vssociat ion of Wood
I'sing Industries to establish a sound and depend.able basis for
st:iuilar<l eost aceounting among its nieuilier lirms. .\ vimv ex-
haustive a"nalysis of the raw material reipiirements of this asso-
eiation for lumber brought out a number of suggestive facts, and
soine that were | ositively startling. The logical and ine\itabb-
conclusion from these facts seems to indicate .-i gradual, but
event u.ally, .a complete revolution of procedure, not menly in this
]i.-irticular wood using i)idustry, but in all wood using industries.
This analysis showed that on :i merchautabh' Inmlier liasis the
association's annual requirements were one billion eight hundreil
million feet, chietly hardwoods. This analysis further showed that
the logical and only satisfactory basis for the prineiinil r.iw
material fact(n' of cost is not lumber but dimension stock. Xn
extension of the ini|uiry shows th.at this fuadament.al is also true
of nearly all luuibi;r used for fabricating purposes.
Hut when the board measure of this requirement iji thi' form of
dimension stock w.as determineil it was found to be only one bil-
lion two hundred thousand feet, board measure. Six hundri'd mil
Hon feet are being wasted annualh- by the reduction of commercial
lumber to usable dimension by this one industry alone, which is
one of till' smaller .at tliat.
Might Have Saved Over Billion Feet
Furthernu)re, it api)e;ired that the bulk of this requirement could
have been produced from commercially low grade stock and non-
commercial waste, now largely a total loss in lumbering operations.
In fact, it has always been known that s\ich a salvage could lie
made, and tli;it not only the six hundred million feet, but the
whole billion eight liundred million feet, couM be iiroduceil from
such sources.
These considerations 7i;itnrally raised the tinal .and critical tjues-
tion:
''With all these facts established scientilically. and a matter of
common knowledge in a general way, both to the jirodueer an<l
consumer of lumber, why should there not be an immediate change
to a sound and economical basis?"
There is a very large iind decisive number of reasons why such
a change from a wasteful to an economic basis can be accomplished
only by slow stages, against much static and some active opposi-
tion. Among these it may be useful to mention som(> of the more
important.
• Editor's Xotc: Tliis is the first of a scriva of thrve articles hy Mi .
liabbitt, dealing With the manifold problems of standardizing dimension
for the wood using industries of the country, a work undertaken hy the
Association of Wood Using Industries on belialf of both the producer of
hardwood timber and the fabricating of wood products. The subsequent
articles will be publislied in II.\rdwooi> Uecoicd as Mr. Ilabbitt issues thtm.
Tile ihiinI diriiciilt te.atuic- of the situation is the liugencs> of Ilie
]iroposition. Its bulk is cidossal. I'ut all the lumber \n\vs in
America in one great yard, an<l it would be a small yard compared
to the stor.age grouml re(|uired to store the wasted portions of the
trees from which the lumber was cut. This matter is not only huge
in its mere jiliysical jiroportions; it is also huge in its interlocking
relations with e\ery phase of manufacture in the country. It is
.1 huge ]ir(ililem presented from llie \ iewjioint (if mci-hanic.al lapiip-
uu'nt alone.
The change of basis from the present wasteful methods of wikmI
fabrication to .a li.-isis of comparative conservation in\(ilvc'i the
organization of .a manufacturing and sale.3 proposition on tlu' [lart
of lumbermen which eventually will rival their organiz.ation for
manufacturing .and selling merchantable lumber. The problems
of dimension sizes .and grades are indefinitely more complex and
difficult than lumber grades and siiecifications. The problem of
education will be fully as difficult as that, e. g., involved in estab-
lishing a market for red gum. The Standanliz.ation Committee is
fully aware of these considerations, and cherishes no delusions as
t(i till' difficulties ahead, or as to the slow progress th.al will bi>
made tow.ard their solution.
Under these circumstances, it became evidently lidtlt llif duly
.and the ojiiiortunity of this association to look for a solutioji of a
cojidition which produced such enormous wastes, and prevented
suidi lingr s.alvages from the fast-waning timber resources of our
country. This, briefly, is the story of the beginning of the stand-
ardization program. The organization of the Association of Wood
Using Industries and the friendly co-operation of the various asso-
ciations of lumbermen ha\'e now pl.aced this jirogram on a n.ational
b.asis.
Some Problems Which Have Been Solved
The tirst inoblem has been to get the necessary entente cordialc
between the ]iro(lucer and the consumer with regari.1 to the pro-
gram of standardization. This has been by no means a simple,
easy matter. It re()uired the compilation of much data to estab-
lish a presumption in favor of the program. Dimension stock is no
new ]:roposition either to lumbermen or to wood users. Past his-
tory has little to testify in its favor. Every lumberman has a
choice collection of experience in manufacturing dimension stock,
which every wood user can match in his attempts to use said stock.
Tlie proof has been fully established that the f.iult is mutual. The
produi'cr did not think that it was worthwhile to manufacture his
ilimension proiierly. He looked down on the job, instead of up to
It. The user took the view that because it was dimension stock,
.ind probably manuf.actured from waste, he ought to be able to
buy it at one-half to one-third its real value.
Both parties are now well in accord. Dimension stock is of such
high import.ancc th.at it is entitled to first consideration in care
and accuracy of manufacture. Wood users realize that dimension
stock, so manufactured, is the most valuable and economical form
in which they can get their raw material; and that to get it they
must pay what it is worth. This means a market price which will
make the manufacture of dimension stock a commercially souml
proposition for the producer.
The elimination of the "specialty" haz.ard, in the manufacture
of dimension stoidv, is another problem which has been successfully
disposed of. Formerly both parties to a contract for dimension
stock assumed a risk which does not apply to commercial lumber,
viz., the exceptional loss should either party to the contract fail
to keep his agreement. If the user failed to take the stock he
contracted for then the producer had left on his hands an unsal-
18

able eonimodity. If the proiluciT failed to deliver, then the user
was left with his jiroduction crippled or stranded. That this lias
been no uneoninion happening in the past every party at interest
can testify from costly experience.
The Answer to the Problem
The answer to this problem is STANDAKDIZATION! By this
we do not moan the standardization of an individual plant, but
the standardization of the requirements of the various wood using
industries. If a lumberman knows that the production of his
dimension mill is standard for an industry, or several industries,
instead of merely being the requirement of an isolated plant, he
will have no hesitation in undertaking to manufacture against any
orders he may secure, and, in a conservative way, to manufac-
ture against the probable requirements of the industry as a wliole.
On the other hand, the wood fabricator will not hesitate to place
his requirements with certain mills when he knows that he is
protected by a lumbering policy which is producing the exact stock
he uses in otlu'r mills than his contract source.
Standardization will serve also to eliminate another grave evil
altogether too common in the past. Beference is made to disputes
between producers ami consumers as to whether the stock fur-
nished is according to s|)ecification. Sometimes these disputes
have not been a fair question between the parties. They have
been unfair attempts by one of the parties to void a responsible
contract. With standardization in effect such disputes can be
settled by a neutral third party or otherwise authoritatively dis-
posed of.
In a single phase the standardization program rests on the two
fundamentals of making it as safe to manufacture or buy dimen-
sion stock as to manufacture or buy merchantable lumber. The
Committee on Standardization proposes to press this program not
only because of its great economic benefits to both lumbermen and
wood users, ))ut also as a conservation measure, second to no other,
in the great patriotic enterprise of saving our forest resources.
In succeeding studies it is the writer's intention to state as care-
fully as possible the special problems of both lumbermen and wood
users in connection with the standardization program. An attempt
will be made to show our method of procedure, and to exhibit
results already obtained by the application of this method.
Some idea of why price and other conditions in the lumber in-
dustry are so frequently misrepresented in the bulletins of the
business statistical bureaus of the country, is in some measure
disclosed in two letters recently sent by one of the leading hard-
wood manufacturers of the South to one of the best known of these
bureaus. This hardwood manufacturer took exception to a com-
parison of composite prices of hardwood lumber for the months of
January, 1921 ; December, 1920, and January, 1920. The report
made by the economic service indicated that compositely the price
of hardwood lumber in January, 1921, was practically no lower
than in January, 1920. The lumber manufacturer in question knew
that the practical facts of the lumber price situation would not
bear out this report, and he conceived that the bureau making the
report must have used an erroneous basis of calculation by which
to arrive at its glaringly incorrect conclusion. Reasoning from
his familiarity with the economic factors of the hardwood lumber
industry, the manuf.acturer concluded that the bureau, in making
its calculations, failed to reckon with the lower grades, which
would have enabled it to picture the true general average price of
hardwood lumber, but had dealt solely with the Is and 28 grade.
This kind of calculating inevitably resulted in a conclusion far
above what the hardwood lumber industry was really receiving in
January, 1921, for the log run of its product.
In his first letter to the bureau the hardwood manufacturer stated
wh.-it he believed had been the nature of the mistake made by the
bureau, and before enough time had elapsed to enable him to get
a reply from the bureau, the latter published another bulletin in
which an explanation of its methods of calculating was given.
This revealed that the calculations, as the manufacturer had
assumed, had been made on Is and 2s only.
ITowever, the manufacturer addressed another letter to the
bureau in which he very carefully explained what he conceived to
be the only fair and accurate method of arriving at average general
prices of hardwood lumber. He did this in order that he might
preclude the possibility of further misrei)resentation of the lumber
industry by this particular bureau at least. He realized the
damage that such erroneous reports cause to the industry, and
assumed that it was worth while to do what he could to protect
the industry from further injury.
Roth of the letters contain statements that should give a cle.ir
understanding of the factors that must be considered in estimating
h.ardwood lumber prices and judging whether they are high or
low, fair or unfair. They might well serve as a guide to all who
undertake to form an opinion on prices and price levels of hard-
wood lumber. In part they are as follows:
Correct Price Estimation
We have before us your trade bulletin. General Coinniodity Section, of
January 10, 11)21. and we note in your ijrioe list of basic coininodities that
you show the following composite prices ou hardwood lumber :
.January, 1921 December. 1920 January. 1920
$ll.'>..sn $127.20 $116.00
In other words, your price comparison shows the price in January, 1921,
to be practically on the same level as that of a year ago.
We do not know the basis of your calculations, or just what grades,
or kinds of lumber are included therein, but based on our own experience
covering actual sales, your price comparison would seem to be erroneous,
for whereas you show the price in January, 1921, to be about the same
as that of January. 1920. our figures show an average decline of well
over (iO per cent, with a materially greater decline from the peak prices
of about March or April. 1920.
We are eni-Iosing herewith a price comparison compiled from our own
sales made within fifteen days from the dates for which the tigures are

Lower Grades Ignored
It would seem to us from the average figures that you quote that your
calculations must be based entirely on the higher grades, probably solely
on Is and 2s, and perhaps you have only included some of the higher
priced wooils. If this assumption Is correct, it would seem to us that

jimr flgures are inisk'aiUnt'. fm- the reasDii that the pi-DiliK-tion nf Is ami ;;s
represents only a very small percentage of the total, ami that this per-
centage is constantly decreasing because of the lower quality of tiniUer
that must be manufaotureii.
We do not know whether or not you have included gum lumber in your
calculation, but wish to state that the consumption of this species exceeds
that of any other hardwood ; in fact it is our belief that there is as mui'h
gum lumber used as all other species combined, and probably three times
as much of this kind as any other one kind. You will understand that
thi' grades of reil gum are produceii from the same log that produces sap
gum, and that in the aggregate the total production of red will not exceed
10 per cent, of which probably not more than one-fourth constitutes the
grade of Is and 2s. The balance of llie pro<luction consists of the graili'
of Is and 2s sap and lower. We nlenti(^n this to show you the small
influence that the prices on the red grades liave on the average prici'
of the product.
As you are aware, the jjroBt or Inss of the lumber manufacturer depends
on the average price realized irom this product. He cannot confine his
manufacture to specific grades, as ali grades are produced from the same
log. and he must produce the lower priced grades in order to obtain the
higher priced grades. At the present time the prices on Is and 2s are
relatively higher than on the lower grades, due to the fact that the produc-
tion of the lower grades has been constantly increasing in volume, while
the higher grades have been decreasing. The present high transportation
coats are also an important contributing factor to this condition, as the
cost per M' of shipping low grade is exactly the same as shipping bigh
grade, and, of course, the percentage of transportation cost is relatively
greater on the lower grades.
There has been a radical readjustment of labor costs in southern lumber
manufacturing centers. Common labor is now available at as low a rate
as $1.50 per day. and there is a marked increase in the efflciency of both
common and skilled labor. Mill supplies and other factors entering into
production costs have shown a slight decline, although this decline has
been much less than the general run of commodities. Even with the
considerable decrease that is attained in production costs, however, there
are some woods, such as gum, which cannot be produced and sold on the
present marRet prices, and the value ^)f the stumpage returned, much less
an operating profit realized, and as most mills of necessity oi>erate on
mixed woods, as produced by the forest, it is not possible to carry on an
operation at a profit, as the woods on which a loss would be sustained will
more than offset those woods on which a profit could be realized. While
we anticipate some further reductions in the price of mill supplies, oil, etc..
we do not believe that labor will be held at the present low rate, as it is
hardly receiving a living wage at this time, so that we feel that in an
efficient organization the cost of production is now at low ebb, with no
chance of further reductions, and the probability of some slight increase
in costs.
Misleading Comparisons
We wish to call your attention to the fact that a comparison of prices
on specific grades is apt to be niisleailing. and it seems to us that the
correct basis of comparison is the average price of the log run product.
As we have stated, the average quality of hardwood lumber produced is
constantly becoming lower, because of the difference in quality of the timber
that the operator must utilize. You will observe, therefore, that even
with a stationary cost for the log run product, the operator would of
necessity be obliged to realize a higher price on some specific grades in
order to return the same profit, because of the reduction in the percentage
of the higher grades, so that what might on the face appear to be an
advance, when a comparison of prices on specific grades is made, would in
reality not be an advance when considered from the standpoint of the
average yield to the proiiucer. To put the matter before you in more
concrete shape, let us consider the folhiwing situation :
Assume that the cost of production in 1917 and in 1921 is
$40.00 per M', i. e., exactly the same in both years.
Ijet's assume that the product of the two years, however, shows the
following difference in the percentage of grades :
1917 1921
25% 1st and 2s 10%
30% No. 1 common 30%
40% No. 2 common 45%
5% No. 3 common 15%
It is probable under such a situation, unless there is a radical change
in the consuming requirenu^nts. that the price of the lower grades for
1921 would be less than 1917, on account of the greater production of
these grades, and that in order to realize the same average price, it would
be necessary to obtain a greater price for the higher grades. Even if the
price on the lower grades were nmintained at the same basis it would still
be necessary to obtain more money for the higher grades because of the
smaller percentage produced of these grades, and if one made a comparison
of the prices of these grades their conclusion would be that there had
been au advance, while in reality such would not be the case, as it is the
average price that must be considered and compared.
Costs Constantly Advance
The above is. of course, based im the assumption that the cost for the
two years will be the same. It is. of course, impossible to maintain the
same average cost of production in the manufacture of lumber : this cost
under normal conditions must constantly advance, if labor, supplies and
all "tiler factors entering into cost renuiined stationary for all time there
would be a steady increase in the ctjst of production, due to conditions
«iver which th*' operator has no control, and among which we might men-
tion the following :
(a) In the beginning lumber was manufactured from the choicest tracts
of timber, and that that was most accessible, and could be handled at the
lower cost. The demands of business have utilized all timber of this
character, and it is necessary each year to go into more imiccessible places
to obtain the timber supply, and to operate on" lighter stands of timber,
which materially increases the logging costs. These costs must necessarily
increase from year to year, even though there is no increase in the price
of labor, supplies, etc.
(b) Whej-e it is necessary to employ the use of common carriers to
transpcjrt logs to the mills (fully 80 per cent of the logs handled are so
transported in hardwoods) the total cost is affected by the Increase in the
cost of transportation. The average increase in this cost since 1917 is in
excess of 100 i>er cent.
(c) The average size of the logs handled grows smaller each year,
which increases the milling cost and handling of the i)roduct, as it is
possible to nuuuifacture lumber from larger logs at a lower cost than from
small logs.
We feel, therefore, that over a long period of time there must neces-
sarily be an increase in the average value of lumber, and that this increase
must be greater on some specific grades than on the average value, in onler
to realize the increased average value that a profitable oiieration necessi-
tates. All of this, of course, is entirely aside from any increase in labor,
etc. Increases from such sources as might be encountered would have to
be realized through a still greater iui'rease in prices.
Mill Price Must Govern
In a comparison of prices l)et\veen various perioils, it seems to us that
the f. o. b. mill price must govern, because the varying costs of transpor-
tation enter into the delivered price. Especially is this true at the present
time, on account of the great increases in transportation costs during the
past few years. We have for instance just booked an order tor a ship-
ment to the Pacific Coast, the transportation cost to which point has
Increased since 191G $22 per thousand. The net amount realized for this
specific grade, f. o. b. shipping point, is less than we obtaine<l for the
same grade in 1912 and 1913, although the delivered price is somewhat
in excess of the delivered price obtained at that time.
We do not know whether or not the facts that we have outlineil herein
have been considered by you in reaching your conclusion. We feel cer^tain
that if you are basing your opinion on the comparison of prices that you
make, whi<'b show practically the same value for .Tanuary. 1920, as for
January, 1921, the basis of your calculation is not correctly established.
You doubtless realize the tremendous effect fif your predictions and
opinions on those lines of business concerning which same are expressed.
If you take the position that the prices on certain commodities are too
high, and that further reductions are necessary, that opinion will be
accepted by your clients, who will govern their purchases accordingly. In
the event that you have based your conclusions on the wrong foundation,
this would artificially depress that particular business, and bring prices
to an unwarrantedty low level, and this condition would necessarily be
followed by an abnormal advance.
It has been our opini(»n that hardwood lumber, as a whole, is today
basically sound so far as values are concerned. Considered from the
standpoint of cost of production, we are certain that the present prices
on many kinds do not return the cost, and in our opinion when condi-
tions become stabilized, and the present perioil of adjustment comes to an
end, prices on the whole will settle somewhat above present levels. Y'ou
are probably basing your opinions that further reducti<)ns are necessary on
the price comparison which you publish, and which sbt>ws practically no
decline as compared with .Tanuary, 1920. If you are incorrect in these
figures, and if instead there has i)een a decline on an average of over 60
per cent, as is indicated by our actual sales and experience, we presume
.vou would reach an entirely different conclusion. It has been our opinion
that the future prices of hardwoods would be determined entirely by the
general business conditions. If the present light demand continues for any
great period of time, further recessions are probable, irrespective of pro-
duction costs, but if this does come about, hardwood lumber will yield
considerably below its intrinsic value, as considered from the standpoint
of cost.
Used Chicago Prices
We observe that your prices are based f. o. b. Chicago, which, of course,
involves transportation cost from the mill to that point. The advance
in this rate on gum lumber since 1916 has been approximately $7..tO per
thousand, of which $3.50 per thousand has taken place since -August 25.
1920. These flgures are tiased on our rate, which is slightly less than
the average rate to Chicago on this kind of lumber.
As we anticipated, your composite is maile up entirely of Is and 2s, which
grade represents the smallest percentage of the log product. You include
in your composite birch and hard maple, which are almost exclusively
northern hanlwoods. We have no U'-tual •■xperience in these woods, f>ut in
a general way we imderstand tluit tlie decline in same has Iieen materially
less than in southern hartiwoods, especially in the various grades of gum.
In the southern hardwoods .vou select Is and 2s red gum. and Is and 2s

white oak. The present consumption of gum (by this we mean the com-
plete product oi the gum log, sap as well as red) Is probably as great, or
greater, than that of all other hardwoods combined, and the grade
you have selected — Is and 2s red — constitutes probably not to exceed 2Vi
per cent of the entire log run product. The decline in the price of this
grade, since January, 1020, has been 50 per cent and from the peak 61.9
per cent, but you will observe that this is the smallest percentage of
decline on any gnido produced from a gum log. On white oak, the other
southern hardwood which you selected, you also base your calculations
entirely on the grade of Is and 2s. This grade in white oak constitutes
about 10 percent of the log product. You will note that while the decllni'
in price on this grade has been 55.9 per cent from .Tanuary, 1020. and
05.9 per cent from the peak, this decline is still less than in the other
grades of this wood.
When Profits Are Not Profits
With all due respect for your opinbm, and realizing that you have had
years of experience in the field that you occupy, we cannot help but feel
that «ven if your information as to prices was correct, that you are pro-
ceeding on the wrong basis in making your analysis, when you limit your
consideration to the grades that constitute such a small percentage of the
total product.
We can conceive a siluation when due to a subnormal i)roduclion, and
an abnormal consumption of Is and 2s, the price on this grade would be
exceedingly high, and still due to the fact that there would be a surplus of
the lower grades, the average price to the producer would not yield a
profit. Under such circumstances, the prices on the lower grades might
really be below their intrinsic value, and still your opinion, being based
entirely on Is and 28, would doubtless be that prices were too high, and
in the issuance of your bulletin this would naturally be thought by your
clients to apply to all grades.
It seems to us that a correct analysis of the lumber situation must
embody :
(1) Accurate information as to prices, based on actual sales.
(2) ■ The inclusion of all grades, and consideration of the average price
realized.
(.3) The gradual lowering of the average quality, and the necessity
therefor for constantly increasing prices on specific grades.
(4> The constantly increasing cost of production, under the same labor
and supply costs.
Milling'tfi'Transit Battle Is Won
Tlie Southern II.Trdwood Traffic Association lias scored anotlur
triuiniili in securing from the interst;ito coinmorcc coininissiou an
order to the carriers to put into efl'ect, at Memphis and Louisville,
Ky.. not later tlian July 20, 1921, transit arrangements vphich will
enahlc lumber interests at those two points to manufacture, yard,
dry, assort and otherwise rehaudlc forest products and then reship
them, within a year, on the through rate point of origin to desti-
nation, with a reasonable charge for the stop-over privilege.
Anuouncemont of the decision came to Memphis in a telegram
from the commission and officers of the association arc elated over
the ruling. There are certain transit arrangements at Memphis
and Louisville now, voluntarily installed by the carriers, but these
ari' hedged about with restrictions which impose a considerable
handicap and they are nothing like as broad or as workable as those
to be installed under the new order of the commission.
J. H. Townshend, secretary-manager of the association, estimates
that $5,000,000 will be invested in new mills and woodworking
plants in Memphis within the next year as a result of the decision,
that there will be rapid increase in the number of yards opened
here, and that tremendous impetus will be given to the establish-
ment of plants for dressing and resawing as well as for the manu-
facture of flooring, boxes, cooperage stock, veneers, handle, wheels,
spokes and other wood products. He points out that transporta-
tion costs are now so high that every pound of waste possible must
be eliminated, thus furnishing an unparalleled opportunity for
plants engaged in dressing, resawing and fabricating forest prod-
ucts of all kinds. He likewise predicts that the decision will re-
store Memphis to its position as the leading hardwood lumber
m;irkct in the world, which it occupied from 1900 to 1909. In the
l.-ist-named year transit arrangements were withdrawn and yard-
ing interests began an exodus from Memphis which continued until
only four or five are left.
James E. Stark, a former president of the association and the
principal witness in the transit hearing at Memphis in March 1920,
is authority for the statement that transit arrangements are both
a " conimerei.'il and economic necessity" and declares his belief
that there will be rapid establishment of assorting yards in Mem-
phis for taking care of all kinds, grailcs and thicknesses of lumber
produced by the smaller mills throughout the southern hardwood
producing territory. He also emphasizes that further treatment
than that given by the smaller mills is absolutely essential, thus
preparing the way for unusual activity on the part of fabricating
plants. He regards the decision as a vital factor in assuring the
permanence of Memphis as a lumber manufacturing, yarding and
fabricating center.
C. A. New, assistant secretary of the association, characterizes
the decision as "epochal" in tliat it marks a new ''milestone"
along the tariff way.
Although the order calls for tariff by .July 20, 1921, the associa-
tion is of the opinion that these will become effective before that
date, some of them probably within the next thirty days.
Louisville jobbers will now be in a position to buy up the outjiut
of manj' small mills in Kentucky, Tennessee, the Virginias, Arkan-
sas, Louisiana, etc., shipping the lumber to Louisville to be graded,
sorted and finished, then reshipping in straight grade, car lots. :
This will aid the small mill operator especially.
J. S. Thompson, manager of the Louisville division, has .just'
gotten out a letter to members, calling their attention to the salient ,
points of the decision.
Have Days of Cheap Lumber Gone Forever?
"There can be no cheap lumber in the future," declared R. W.
Hibberson of Victoria, B. C, in addressing the Associated Boards
of Trade in Vancouver recently. Mr. Hibberson gave warning
that a timber famine was inevitable in British Columbia, as well
as in other less fortunately situated countries, unless adequate
measures for conservation were adopted. He held that to meet
the requirements of the situation the provincial forest branch
should be reorganized.
"To the average man in the street," said Mr. lIihl)erson, "Brit-
ish Columbia is all timbered. He travels by train through the
interior of British Columbia, or by steamer up the coast, and every-
where looks green; therefore, it must be timbered. If you told
him there is every danger of timber famine in British Columbia
within fifteen years you would be ridiculed. But there is a very
decided danger of a timber famine, and before many years lapse
we will all begin to feel it.
Ten years ago the center of the logging industry was within a railius
of fifty miles of Vancouver. Today it is from one hundrp<1 and fifty to
two hundred miles from Vancouver, and in some cases operators arc tow-
ing logs as far as six hundred miles to their mills, and an average tow
of two hundred miles is quite common. Ten years ago the average cost,
of logging was .$5 per thousand feet: today it is nearly ?20 per thousand
feet, and in some of cedar camps last year the cost was over this figure.
Ten years ago most of our logging was done within a mib' of the salt
water ; today we are hauling by railroad ten to twenty, and in some cases
more, miles by railroad, to salt water, before we commence to tow logs
to the mill.
Timber Supplies Are Receding
The interior of British Columbia has the same condition,-. Where for-
merly sawmills were built in the heart of the timber, today logs are
brotight distances up to seventy miles by water and by rail. This means
heavy expense, and conditions are getting worse every day. The general

News from the National Capital
Luiiil)i'i-nu'n arc still in tlio dark in rogaril to tlic tentative luiii-
bor tarilT wliicli has Ijecii drawn up by rongross for the permanent
tariff bill.
Despite the faet that iiieiabers in the lloiisi' who are in t(MU-h
with the situation either refuse to be (pu)ted or refuse to discuss
the tentative lumber schedule, it is rei)orted that a duty is con-
temphited on all finished lumber, leaving only eertaiu kinds ol'
rough lumber on the free list.
The iluties, as tentatively agreed upon, [irovide for proteetion
on all kinds of fir and sjiruee, lioth rough and finished lumber. This
is designed to furnish proteetion to the West coast lumbermen
who fear importations from British Columbia.
The general impression has been that Jiine and other kinds of
lumber, both rough and finished, would be allowed to come in free,
inasmuch as no claim of any need of protection has been ad\':ineed
by the manufacturers. Th.it lumber should remain on the free
list has been strongly urged by the Retail Lumber Dealers' Asso-
ciation as a means of encouraging housing construction and also in
order to conserve the forests of the United States.
Advocates of free lumber protested when it was learned that
the tentative rates contemplate that while rough lumber, except
fir and sjiruce, shall be free of duty, lumber finished on two sides
would liear .-i duty of .jO cents per 1,000 feet, and lumber finished
on men' than two sides $1 per 1,000 feet.
Till' rates on fir and spruce are $1..50 per 1,000 feet on rough
lumber, $'2 per 1,000 feet on lumber finished two sides, and .1^1!. ."lO
on lumber finished on more than two sides.
It is stated that comparatively little rough lumber eoiiies in from
Canada^ hence the imposition of a duty on finished pine and other
varieties of lumber is said t(i mean tli.'it the bulk of imports will
be dutiable.

The American Wholesale Lumber Association and lumber com-

un.inst and unreasonable.
The complaints declare that the penalty w.as eolleeted only on
lumber or other forest jiroducts taking simil.ar rates, and not on
other commodities.
The Interstate Commerce Commission has assigned a hearing for

ture. This bureau co-operates with the General Supply Committee
in the ]ireparation and revision of specifications and the making
of awards that cover lumber, millwork and building material.

.\s tlie r.iilroad situation becomes daily more desperate, observers
are of the opinion that the Interstate Commerce Commission
sluirtly may move, under the Transportation Act, to effect a liori-
zontal reduction in freight rates. This act places a mandate on
ttie Commission, it will be remembered, to fixe rates which will pay
a 6 per cent return on the carriers' property.
Last summer the commission interpreted the situation to mean
that a l!o per cent increase was necessary to carry out this man-
date. This interpretation has failed fliatly. It now appears that
the Commission will recognize the fine 'effect which the law of
vanishing returns is having on railroad revenues and again invoke
the Tr.-insportation Act rule.
According to observers, it is a rule which necessarily will work
both ways. If rates must be raised to p.ay the return, the Commis-
sion must raise them; otherwise, if lower rates would bring more
revenue, the Commission can not escape the oldigations to initiate
a general reduction.

The Tropical Timber Business
*By Samuel J. Record
More uiul more .•ittciition is liciiiH <l>'VOti'il
to the possibilities of the tropicnl tinilirr
business, p:irticuliirly in the Ainuxou Biisin
of Soutli Amerieii. This is stiimil.'ited by
the rising cost of our native lunilier, tlic
reported senreity of certain kinds, and the
is slack the returns from tlie sale may not be
sufficient to cover cost of transportation.
There is not the slightest incentive for ship-
ping in new and untried woods; in fact,
there are the liest of reasons for not doing
so. Even if a lot of logs are contracted for.

fact that certain mill operators see the end of their cut in sight
and are looking for new tields. Moreover, rubber companies with
large concessions of land find themselves no longer able to com-
pete with plantation rubber in the Far East and are considering
the timber trade as the way out.
The path, however, is beset with ditSculties, and a great deal of
pioneer work will have to be done. A market, except for the
woods with a reputation already established, will have to be
created, life-time prejudices and practices will have to be over-
come and modified, and jirojier methods of seasoning and handling
the new lumber will h;ive to be worked out. Then there are the
difficulties of logging in complex forests usually remote from well-
developed industrial centers, where labor is an uncertain quantity
and where conditions for successful operations may be far from
ideal. The only business that can hope to succeed must be well
organized and financed, so that every stage in the logging, trans-
portation, milling, seasoning and marketing is properly supervised.
Let us consider for a moment the existing methods of our trop-
ical timber trade. There are, in general, two, though in practice
tliev are not always distinct and separate. There are, first, the big
importing houses and dealers who own concessions or control the
producers in the tropical forest. There are not many such opera-
tions, and those on a large scale are concerned primarily with
mahogany and secondarily with the Spanish cedar which grows
in mixture with it. The logging methods are comi)aratively
efficient, with tramways, tractors and various adaptations of our
woods equipment and machinery to local conditions-. Steamers are
chartered to transport the logs to this country, where they are
sawed in the com|).iny mills and the lumber sold direct from them
to manufacturers. Such concerns know their product intimately,
are thoroughly familiar with the demands of the trade, and have
establishecl rej)utations to sustain. '
On the other hand there are the general importers which handle
woods along with other articles of merchandise. Logs are shipped
on consignment and sold to the highest bidder. If the market is
temporarily glutted or for any reason the demand for such material
* Profet<ttor of Fonst l'nnlni-ts. Ynli- I' nirersilir
bought to arrive, they may be rejected because of failure, true or
alleged, to come up to specifications in kind or quality. There is
so much confusion in local names for woods that there is no telling
what an order for a certain kind will produce. All of this tends
to disrupt the trade, to foment trouble and to discourage pro-
duction.
Such methods, too, are very expensive. The woods must pass
through many hands and pay toll to each. A native farmer cuts
a log or two a year to exchange to the nearest storekeeper for
goods. A traveling buyer buys these logs from the storekeeper
and has them hauled by ox carts to a river landing or along the
railroad. He may be the agent of a commission house or some
dealer in a seaport tow^n or he may be working independently. In
any event the logs for export are taken on steamers or rafts or by
train to seaport and stored. Later they are shipped to a commis-
sion house in New York. A general importing firm does not sell
to manufacturers but through a broker to dealers. The dealer
whose bid is accepted takes the logs to his yard, sorts them and
perhaps cuts them up to meet the requirements of the trade. The
methods are not always as indirect as this but the short cuts are
few. Small wonder that tropical woods are expensive!
In certain instances the excessive cost of tropical woods is driv-
ing them from our market. A considerable number of woods for-
merly common are now rare or extinct so far as our trade is con-
cerned. Take ebony for example. At one time it was considered
the only wood suitable for the black keys of pianos, for the finger
boards of violins and various other uses. Now some of our fine-
textured woods, such as birch, are stained black or "ebonized"
and serve fully as well and are much cheaper. The use of Brazilian
rosewood for furniture has dwindled almost to the vanishing point,
but if some concern would follow the practice of the mahogany
dealers the cost of the wood could be halved and a thriving busi-
ness established. If the tropical timber business is to make any
headway in the United States the methods must be revolutionized.
One hears a great deal about the tropical forests being a great
source of cross-ties for our railroads. This is no doubt the case, but
there are likely to be a great many failures before any big profits
are reaped in this field. There is still a great reserve of our own

At present we arc rei-klessly eutting it tor tie timber, poles aud . mining

eoninum practice to leave twenty to forty feet of good, sound tmtt logs
In the woods, because they are too large to hew into ties. The same con-
dition applies to operations where mining timber is lieing logged. This

in Uritlsh Columbia within twenty years, with a resultant slump in all
enterprises tluit dejiend wholly or in part on forest products, can only
he averteil it action is taken without further delay.
The action we would propose is that private timber land owners adopt
logging methods that will protect and jireserve young growth, and leave
logged-off lands in condition for forest renewal ; then the young trees of
today will he of merchantable size when needed. This is dependent on
keeping tires out of tlie forests, so that young trees will have an oppor-
tunity to grow.
A Thing of Slow Growth
It has been shown on examination that unless logging slash is burnt
over the reproduction is very poor, the heavy slash shading the young
seedlings. It is necessary for a (ire to follow logging operations in order
to prepare the ground tor seeding. This should be undertaken by the
government, which can take every precaution to avoid disastrous fires.
It takes approximately SO years to produce trees of commercial size
that will make ties and piling for the coast or saw logs for interior mills.
K\'entually our coast mills will liave to adapt their cutting machinery
fctr small logs, for the virgin timber, once gone. <'an never he replaced.
It takes from 200 to 400 years to produce our large fir timber, and double
that to produce our big cedar. The fortunate owner of a tract of virgin
cedar and (ir will, if only he can alTorcl to hold it for a few years, reap a
ricli reward.
The reforestation will have to be undertaken in the main by the gov-
ernment. It is not practicable to c'nt'orce the practice of forestry on pri-
vate timber lands, for the growing c»f timber of saw l(»g size is an opera-
tion too long in time and offering too low a rate of return to attract
private' capital, always excepting pulp and paper companies, who can
use timber long before it becomes saw log size. In tills connection, Penn-
sylvania planted nine million trees in 1910 ; titty million trees since 1900,
began in 172S.
Very shortly we shall see a large* increase in the number of these plants,
and it is to be hoped that Canadian and empire capital will be behind them.
In conclusion let me say that it is vitally necessary that newspaper pub-
lishers within the empire should get together anil acquire supplies ot

of 12 years. Before foreign woods can comjiete with these it is
necessary to know that tlieir annual cost will be no greater. Com-
petent tests under actual service conditions must be made, not of
single tics but of whole stretches of track. Such tests take time
and cost money but they should be under way. And having found
suitable woods the next question is to get them out in quantity
and up to specifications. Tliis means inspection in the woods,

otherwise a lot of cull stock will lie ]iiiurccl in which may wreck the
whole enterprise.
What is written is not meant in any way to discourage the trop-
ical timber trade or to retard the legitimate exploitation of tropical
forests. But the business has so many factors which do not enter
into our domestic lumber business that a word of caution may not
be amiss to those who are looking to that field. There are unques-
tionabl.v rich opportunities in the tropical forests, but the rewards
are only for those jvho know how to play the game.
Pertinent Information
South Opens Lower Rate Fight
The governing lioarii of the Southern Hardwood Traffic .Association, at
a meeting at Memphis, Tenn., .\pril 19, attended by representatives from
all parts of the hardwood producing territory,. agreed that a complaint
should lie filed before the Interstate Commerce Commission seeking a
reduction of not less than 'iS\ii per cent in rates on forest products to
consuming centers, as well as a like reduc-tion in the rates on raw
materials, such as logs, to milling pfdnts.
It was the unanimous opinion of those attending that the present level
of freight rates is retarding the movement ot forest products, and that
return to "normalcy" must be prec-ected by a recUiction in existing rates.
Box Demands of Pineapple Industry
The rapidly increasing pineapple industry in the Hawaiian Islands
destined to be the largest in the world, is a matter of great interest to the
wooden box manufacturers of this country.
One of the large box companies of the state of Washington, received
its first order for boxes from the islands in 1906, that year making total
shipments of 75,000 cases. In 1920. its shipments will aggregate close to
3,000,000 cases, of which about 2,000,000 will go to the Hawaiian Pine-
apple Co., of Honolulu, from which the box concern received its first order
fourteen years ago. The total pack of 1920 Is estimated at 6,000.000 cases,
as compared with 5,000,000 cases last year, which was considered a record.
The Hawaiian Pineapple Company now packs 780,000 pineapples or about
1,000 tons of the fruit every day during the season and employs 3,000.
Cutting Olive Trees for Fuel
In parts ot Palestine the olive orchards were practically destroyed by
the Turks during the war. A report by Consul Otis A. Glazebrook at
Jerusalem says :
With the allied blockade of Turkish ports, coal for the railroads had to
be substituted by wood, and In Palestine the olive trees were required to
bear the greater part ot this substitution. The trees were cut down In
the districts through which the railways ran, and It Is estimated that
half the olive trees were destroyed in this manner. Again, while retreat-
ing, the Turks mutilated the small branches of the olive trees for quick
fuel. The destruction was further increased by the fact that most of th«
battles on this front took place in the olive grove districts, and conte-
quentl.v the land around the trees could not be plowed at the proper tlm«
and win not yield advantageously, unless they are properly cultivated for
at least two "consecutive years. In addition to this war devastation, th«
locust plague of 1915 materially injured the trees.
Better Showing for Pecan
In a report showing the strength and elasticity of American voods, com-
piled for the census of 1880 by Charles S. Sargent, pecan was rated very
low. Many other hardwoods were listed above it, and among the hickories
It was not only the poorest, but in strength hardly came up to half of the
strength ot most of the commercial hickories. During more than thirty
years these figures were regarded as ofDclal, and persons who accepted
Sargent's values as correct, had a very poor opinion of pecan as a vehicle
wood or for any other purpose that required elasticity or strength. Uany
persons who had actually tried the wood had a better opinion of It ; bnt
the old official figures stood constantly against It.
A few years ago the Forest Service laboratory at Madison, Wii., began
a new set of tests. Intended to include all commercial woods of the United
States, and the publication of the result of these tests, appearing In
Bulletin 556 of the Forest Service, puts pecan In a much more favorable
light. The following comparison will show this : Sargent's figures glT«
the strength at 8,000 pounds per square Inch ; elasticity, 915,000 pounds.
The Forest Products Laboratory's figures, strength 10,200 ; elasticity,
1,940,000. The latter values are twice as great as those of Sargent.
The latest figures may be assumed to be more ne.irly correct than thoM
made thirty odd years ago : because the Madison laboratory has much
better facilities for making tests. The difference between the two sets
of figures Is so remarkable that It Is dIfBcuIt to understand how they could
have been reached. The samples used by Sargent grew near Greenville,
Miss., and Dallas, Texas ; the Forest Service's samples came from
Missouri.
Pecan Is perhaps the most abundant of all the hickories, though It wonld
not be easy to quote statistics showing such to be the case, because
accurate cruises and surveys have not been made ; but In size, the pecan
tree exceeds that of any other hickory. It belongs In the class of smooth-
bark hickories. Its nuts have always been valuable and most people ar«
accustomed to think of pecan as a producer of nuts rather than as a
source of wood.

credited to Missouri where the r.ood Is made into wagon crossbars; and
05,000 feet to Illinois where it is nscd for eooiieragc and hay balers.
Not one foot is reported in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Arkansas, or Te.\as, In ail of whicli states It is a timber tree
and in some of them It is abumlant. ^
It la evident that it Is not being used under its own name, for it Is
wholly im|)robahie that a wood so good as this Is not going to market.
It Is likely being bought and twM as hickory, which would be no misrepre-
sentation, for it is as true a hickory as any of the others, but the strange
part Is that it is always called pecan while the tree stands, and hardly
ever afler the tree is cut down. A paragraph from the government report
of wood uses in Louisiana, published in 1012, may throw some light on
this matter. It says :
"During the Held work in Loul.'iana, many i)arts of the state were
visited, and It was discovered that several woods were being cut in tne
forests, sent to saw mills, cut into lumber, and at that stage they dla-
appcared from view. Careful Inquiry developed the fact that much of
the lumber which, under its own name, had dropped out of sight after it
left the saws, was lieing sliipiied to factories under other names, or by no
names at all."
One such wood was pecan. Factories which made use of it, particularly
manufacturers of vehicles, were not an.Nious to publish the fact of its
use, because the prejudice against it was well known, though that preju-
dice was not founded on any undesirable qualities in the wood. It was
much better than its reputation, though it cannot be claimed that It is the
equal of most of tlic other hickories, but it does not fall as far below them
as is commonly supposed, and for certain purposes it is as good as any of
them. Compared with shagbark hickory, its place is somewhat lower in
both strength and elasticity ; but it is more elastic than bitternut anil
is not far below it in strength.
Much of the prejudice against pecan doubtless could be traced to the
unfavorable report on its pliysical properties made by Sargent for the
census of ]S8(). The samples on which he made bis tests must have lieen
uncommonly poor, and it will take a long time to overcome the prejudice
against pecan as a factory wood.
"American Storax" from the Red Gum Tree
A gum which is in demand by the nianiif;ictiirers of perfumes, tobacco,
adhe.sives, and plmrm.-iceutical preparations, is produced by the red gum
tree (lAiiuitliimh, y ult/iacifliia) of the South, though few owners of this
tree apparently are yet aware that the gum has any commercial value.
The properties and composition of this "sweet gum," as it is called, are
similar to those of oriental stora.x, obtained from a tree (Liquidamher
orieniulis) which grows in Asia Minor. Cinnamic acid and cinnamic
alcohol are two of its valuable components.
Because the war curtailed the supply of the imported product, the U. S.
Forest Products Laboratory this season undertook some co-operative ex-
periments to develop mi'tho<ls of gatlicring "sweet gum" or "American
storax." Although the yield ()f gum from each tree is not large, a price
of $2 or more a pound has made its collection attractive to many in-
dividual operators, and a considerable quantity has been put on the
market.
The lalioratory experiments will be completed in November, and it is
hoped that they will provide some cost data which will indicate to what
extent "American storax" can profitably compete with the foreign product
when normal conditions return.
Remarkable Wood Carving
The London Timber Trades Journal says tlial Japan niay well lay claim
to be the home of the champion wood carver of all time in the i>erson of
ilananunia Masakichi, of Tokio. lie has carved a figure in wood so like
himself that when the two are placed side by side it is said to be almost
impossible to tell which lives and breathes and which does not. By
several ex[)erts in art this wooden figure has been pronounced the most
perfect and human inuige of man ever made. Masakichi has faithfully
reproduced every scar, vein, and wrinkle to be seen on his liody. The
figure is coniposed of 2,000 pieces of wood, dovetailed and jointed with
such skill that no seams can be detected.
Tiny holes were drilled for the reception of hairs, and the wooden figure
has glass eyes and eyelashes in which no dissinularity to Masakichi's own
can be observed.
The Japanese artist posed between two mirrors while modelling this
figure, and for some time after its completion he posyd frequently beside
it, to the confusion of spectators, who were often entirely at a loss as
to which was the artist. The figure stands with a little inask in one hand
and an instrument for carving in the other ; the lifelike eyes are appar-
ently gazing at the mask, and the face wears a look of intense absorption.
Increasing the production of man without increasing the burden
of work or lengthening the hours of application is the main prob-
lem of the day, and the main part of the answer is found in labor
saving machinery, and in so organizing the work as to cut out all
unnecessary steps.
Peculiarities of Wood
Arthur Koehler of the Fi)rest I'rciducts iJiboratory. MadlBon. Wis., has
publlsbed a guide book on the identification of woods. Intended prin
cipally for use of dealers in crosstles, but of use to all persons having
anything to do with wood. Certain matters in the book may be summarlred
as follows :
The color of wood is useful In the idcntiflcatlon of species, but must
not be relied on entirely, for it is varialile In the same species, and in
different species it often differs only in shade. Slight variations in color
cannot l)c satisfactorily expressed in writing, but coini>arisou with known
5ami)les will often reveal the identity of a .specimen. Most wowls turn
darker on exposure to air, therefore comi)arisons should always he made
on freshly cut longitudinal surfaces.
.Some woods can be identilie<l at once by their color. The small, black
beartwood of persimmon, resembling ebony, to which it is closely related,
is found in no other native sitecies. The chocolate brown color of black
walnut; the lustrous red-brown of cherry; the dingy, reddish-brown of
red gum ; the bright reddish hue of most Uouglas fir; the uniform creamy-
yellow color of buckeye, are usually enough to distinguish these species.
Osage orange and black locust are much alike in structure, strength,
durability, and color, although the former usually has more of a golden-
brownish" tinge. These two woods can readily be distinguished by the
fact that osage orange gives off a .vellowish color if wrappeil in a wet
rag or placed on a soaked blotter, while black locust gives off practically
no color under the same conditions.
I'rcservatives, paint, or decay may, of course, so alter the appearance
of wood that its natural color cannot be determined.
Color is more or less an indication of durability. It is well known that
the darker woods like redwood, juniper, black walnut, osage orange, and
black locust, are more durable than such light-colored woods as cotton-
wood, nniple, ash, beech, white fir, and spruce. Those -cedars which have
no very darli beartwood are an exception, and their durability is ascribed
to certain resins and oils which the wood contains.
Many woods give off a characteristic odor when they are worked.
Therefoi'e, in order to determine the odor of wood, it should be whittled
or, better yet, sawed and the sawdust held to the nostrils. The odor is
more pronounced in the beartwood than in the sapwood. It is even more
difficult to describe otlor than color, so that authentic samples for com-
parison are of far greater value than pages of writing.
Most of the pines have a distinct resinous odor. The cedars have an
agreeable odor which reminds one of shingles ; Port Orford cedar has a
strong spicy odor, very noticeable when the wood is worked. Cypress has
a mild rancid odor, which will always help one who is familiar with it to
identity this wood no matter wliat the color or weight may be. Alpine
fir has a rank odor when dry which distinguishes it from all other firs.
Among the hardwoods, sassafras is easily recognized by its characteristic
fragrance. Some oaks have a soured odor before they are dry. The odor
of cottonwooti is slightly disagreeable.
Taste is closely associated with odor but som'etimes can more easily be
recognized. Port Orford cedar has a spicy taste. Cypress and redwood
have practically no taste, and through this characteristic can be dis-
tinguished from arborvitae and western red cedar, which have a somewhat
bitter taste. Sassafras wood tastes like the extract made from its roots
aiKl liark.
Fooling the Timber Inspector
.\ tinii>cr inspector at Nineveh, 3,000 years ago, seems to. have been
victimized by some lumber dealer. A beam of wood has been unearthed
among the ruins of Nineveh, with a tablet or sort of trade mark stating
that the wood is "cedar from Lebanon." It was looked upon as a find of
considerable importance, since Lebanon was 600 miles from Nineveh .with
only overland transportation at that time ; and it would mean a good
deal to the modern transportation expert to find that lumber was hauled
on carts or carried on camels a distance of 600 miles in remote ages. But
the discovery was spoiled by a microscopist who examined the wood. It
turned out to be yew which grew and still grows in mountain ranges
within a hundred miles of Nineveh. The rest of the story is left to the
tmagination. because history does not inform us whether some lumberman
contracted to bring cedar across the desert from Lebanon, but substituted
yew without the inspector being any the wiser ; or whether there was
graft and the inspector got his divvy out of it. .^t any rate, the builder
supposed he was getting the same kind of wood of which Solomon built
his temple i news of which may have reached Nineveh and inspired a
wisli in the builder there to get in the same class with Solomon!. It was
looked upon as quite an achievement at Nineveh to build with Lebanon
cedar, otherwise a tablet would not have been hung In a conspicuous
place advertising the fact. But, alas, a scui"vy trick was played on the
guileless builder. The bright spot in the deception is that he died without
trnmg out that he had been flim-flammed, and it took 3,000 years and n
microscope to expose the fraud.
Ford Sawmill to Open About July 1
.Machinery and other equipment which will eventually hanille 100,000
feet of timber a day is in jirocess of installation at the Ford idant. Iron
Mountain, Mich. About twenty per cent of the complete equipment for
the sawmill is already in place, consisting largely of the live rolls, edgers,
Itaiid mills and trimmers. Four 300 horsepower Wicks boilers are being
placed ill position in the power house east of the mill. A steam turbine
capable of 750 horsepower will furnish power for the huge mill saws.
There are already approximately 6.000,000 feet of logs piled up in the
yards adjoining the plant. None of these, however, has come from the
Ford holdings, according to R. V. Dudley, superintendent of construction.
It is not likely. Mr. Dudley declares, with the present price of logs main-
taining that camps will be constructed this summer, it being possible to
secure the material at a lower price from contract firms than by building
and maintaining woods camps. The matter of opening up the camps on
Ford's vast area of hardwood timlier is therefore indefinite and contingent
for the i>resent upon the lumber market.
The sawmill will house five large saws — two band mills, a gang saw and
two re-saws. These will reduce the process of the lumber manufacture
into three distinct operations. The logs, hauled up to receiving deck from
the log or mill pond, will first be shaped, or squared, by the band mills.

All Individual Motors
A distinct feature i>l Ihe mill is llial I'very joacliine wilhin il will be
operated by an Indlvldnnl mcdor, with power furnished by the huge Wick's
turbine.
The site for tiie dry kiln, where nuich of the tind>er will eventually be
drleil and prepared for shipment, has been staked out, and it is likely Ihal
construction will begiD within a short tinu'. The first section of the kiln
will measure 2(J by 20(1 feet, with additional space as the needs require.
There Is no immediate prospect for the body plant, according to Mr.
Dudley. It is not likely, he declares, that work will he begun this year.
Orders to that effect are not anticipated until late in the season at the
earllesl. That another year will see this work begun, however, is a cer-
tainty, officials declare. There will eventually be two body plants located
at the company's site near this city. I';ach will measure 120 by 740 feet,
and they will utilize that bulk of the nuiterial turned out at the mill.
.V small veneer plant. In connection with the mill. Is another likelihood,
although arrangements for this feature are but tentative. Construction
of a transfer or sorter building, directly south of the mill, will be begun
shortly. The latter department will separate the timber as it is carried
from the mill, for piling in the yard at the rear of the plant. The space
between the tracks which encircle the plant site to the west will lie util-
izej as a lumber yard.
No Transport Monopoly
There has not been, and likely will ncit \»\ any dehnite arrangement
with any railway concern for the handling of the timber enroute to
Detroit from Iron Mountain. Similar to the Ford policy employed in
shipping its goods from the Deti-oit factories this feature will depend
entirely upon freight rates. It is expected, according to Mr. Dudley, that
when the mill begins to operate at capacity Ford-owned carriers will be
employed to carry the stock from the mill to the main line of the St. Taul.
the laying of this stretch of track being already completed. There will
eventually be about six ndles of track constructed at the plant.
A distinct feature of tlie Ford activities in upper Michigan will bo the
strict timber conservation policy to be carried out in the woods operations.
The heavy usable timber will be marked for cutting, and this only will
be utilized at the start. Every possible means will be employed to pre-
serve the young tree in the felling of the old, and to clean up brush,
slashings and othiT refuse as the work progresses. In that way another
ten years will permit the relogging of the same territory on which opera-
tions will be opened tip.
.\uother interesting phase of the plant operation in Iron Mountain is the
rather extensive farm development plan wdiich. according to Mr. Dudley,
will he begun this summi'r. There are approximately 3,500 acres of pro-
ductive farm land Immediately adjoining the plant site. A considerable
area of this has already been plowed and will this summei' be sowed to
grasses and grains. Later this year, if conditions permit, this work will
he expanded to include root crops, with the likelihood of eventually work-
ing out a dairy or central farm marketing plan for the employes of the
plant. More than that, if. eventually, the farm plan is carried out still
further, a portion of the jiroduct will be distributed throughout the imme-
diate vicinity. .\li of this, however, is dependent entirely upon ortlers
which may be received from Detroit, although it seems practically cer-
tain the farm plan will be given considerable attention.
Thus far only ten company houses have been constructed, these being
occupied hy the foreman and other officials. It is expected that more
will follow as the work at the plant progresses.
The outstanding feature of It all seems to be that, contrary to some-
what persistent rumor, work at the plant is going ahead rapidly and that
on (tr about .Inly 1 the residents of Iron Movintain will be awakened from
their early morning slumbers by a siri'U whistle announcing tlie lirst turn
of the huge power turbine.
Baltimore Exports Fall
The statement of experts of lumber and logs for last February, as given
out by the Custom House at Raltinu>re, Md.. shows a heavy falling off in
shipments as cnmi)ared with tlie same month of last year, the total
declared value for last February being only *130,!I24 against $403,900
for the corresiM)nding month of 1020. The decreases were mainly in gum
boards, which tell from 40.000 feet, of a declared value of .$5. (ISO, to noth-
ing last February ; in oak boards, which declined from .S27.000 feet, of a
declared value of $80,213. to 204,000 feet, of a declared value of $28,742;
in poplar boards, which dropped from 1.040,000 feet, of a declared value
of $130,395, to a mere 8,000 feet, valued at $1.350 ; and in hardwood
hoards, which declined from 1,313,000 fe<>t, of a declared value of $131,-
975. to 123,000 feet, of a declared value of $22,002. There were some
gains, bul they diil not begin to eipial the b.sses. Ilardwoml logs to the
amount of 33.000 feet went out.
Export Situation Grows Worse
Harvey M. liickson. secretary cif the National Lumber Exporters' Asso-
ciation, in the Knickerbocker liuiblins. lialtimore, M.I.. doi's not take an
encouraging view of the foreign situaticm. Discussing conditions abroad
last wi-ek he said :
"The situation is apparently growing worse instearl of better. Two
weeks ago there were slight indications of improvement In the demand
for .Xmerican hardwoods in the United Kingdom, but the threatened strike
of the <*oal miners, transport wrirkers and employes in other lines of
industry has overshadowed everything else during the last week. With
the 'Triple .\lliance' refusing to go out in behalf of the miners the situation
is of course improved, but a feeling of unrest among wage earners con-
tinues to prevail throughout the kingdom. Reports from all the United
Kingdom and Continental markets are about as pessindstic as they could
well be. and exporters are llnding that low quotations have very little
effect In making potential and prospective buyers more willing to place
orders. Practically no firni orders are being brought out even when
quotations are low. The stocks of high grade American hardwoods in all
of the l'nlte<l Ivingdom markets are comparatively light, but still buyers
are hidiling off, not so much on account of prices as because of prevailing
business conditions.
"It would be well for exporters of .American hardwoods to take hee<l,
as certainly nothing can be gained at this time by quoting low prices,
which is likely to prove a double-edged policy, in the first place so depress-
ing the market that importers are frightened, and in the second place
forcing down prices against the shippers themselves. Foreign buyers are
gradually realizing that the low prices quoted by exporters are under the
cost of production, and that this state of affairs cannot be maintained
very long. United King<l(un doik reports show fewer arrivals of .\merican
woods than in any like period of the export trade, liut the light arrivals
more than suffice to meet any possible demands. Late auction sales of
.\merican woods were very unsatisfactory, and the prices realized were so
far below the cost of production that one wonders why American shippers
will permit their stocks to he sold at auction. But even with the low prices
that prevailed, many of the parcels remained unsold, there being no
bidders at the time."
Mr. Dickson, however, thinks that the bottom has been reat;hed and
that with anything like a normal demand abroad high grade stocks are
bound to advance. Ocean freight rates have been fi)r several months
higher for the North Atlantic ports than for the (Julf and South Atlantic
ports, but at a meeting of representatives of Conference lines held in
New York on .\pril 7, the North Atlantic rates were reduced to a pfirity
with the otliers, so that there is now no differential in favor of the South
Atlantic and (lulf ports, which, it is felt, will operate to stimulate the
movenu'iit eastward. Independent steamers, which are not members of
the Conference, are said to- quote as low as 45 cents on heavy woods and
60 cents on light woods out of the Southern ports, and these lines, there-
fore, offer some inducement for routing shipments that way.
Development of Important Italian Lumber Company
[Commercial .\ttachS U. S. Department of Commerce, H. C. .MacLean,
Rome.]
During the past year the new Italian company. Societa Anonima
"Foresta," which was organized at the end of 1019, with a capital of
50,000.000 lire (lira=$0.193 at normal), has developed rapidly. At the
c'tmmencenu'ut of its operations it had acquired control of 22 lumber and
woodworking companies in eastern Europe, principally in Transylvania,
Czechoslovakia and Rumania, and having increased its capital to
100,000,000 lire by June, 1920, had extended its control to 42 subsidiary
companies. Today it is claimed that the "Foresta" is the most important
financial organization in the soft-woo<l industry in Europe.
The company now possesses lumiier camps in Roumania. Transylvania.
Poland, Czochoslo%'akia, Austria and .Yugoslavia, as well as many large
sawmills ami woodworking plants ,for the production of lundier. railway
ties, furniture. mill\v(jrk (doors, windows, etc.), demiumtalile houses, and.
in fact, wood products of every description. A special plant is also main-
tained for the manufacture of instruments and other technical apparatus
required in the woodworking industry. Its lumber camps and sawmills
are served by Its own railway lines, which make up a total of about 700
kilometers (435 miles), partly 'steam and partly electric, in connection
with which an extensive rolling stock is required. It has also purchased
one of the largest car factories of Hungary, at .\rid. with which are con-
nected large works for repairing locomotives.
.■ks has already been stateil the Societa Foresta is interested primarily
in soft lumber, of which its stocks available for immediate delivery amount
to about 250.000 cubic meters, its principal yards being located in Transyl-
vania. Its production of ordinary furniture is also important, and in
Itnly alone furniture for about 1.000 rooms has already been sold. In
Slyria is located its plant for demountable houses, which are supplied in
various types from the simplest to the most elaborate. The price of such
houses is very attractive in comparison with those of other materials, and
the rapidity with which they can be erected — it being possible to set up
a iKuise of four rooms in one month — constitutes a great advantage on
account of the general housing crisis. Furthermore, these wooden houses
are rendered fireproof by a special chemical treatment. At Milan and in
the districts injured by the recent earthquake they have been extensively
used.
It appears that Italy, which has ever been principally dependent upon
importing its lumber from abroad, has now at its disposal an organization
which Bill insure for the future supplies not only sufficient but adapted
to its needs.

SUMMARY
1. These bonds are secured by A FIRST LIEN ON:
(a) 30.541 acres of land, all owned in fee simple except 4,802 acres, and arrangements have been made to
acquire all of these in fee simple except 402 acres. 26,241 acres are virgin timber lands in Fentress and
Scott Counties, Tenn , estimated to carry over 122,547,000 ft. of merchantable timber, approximately
75'^/f of w'hich is Oak (mostly White). Poplar and Hickory, the balance Birch, Beech, Chestnut, Hemlock,
White and Yellow Pine. This property has been vakied at over _ $ 900,000
(b) 2 band mills and accessories, one in operation at Oneida, Tc]in., the other now being completed at
Louvain, Tenn. Also one circular mill and tie mill, logging railroad cars, loaders, skidders, wagons,
animals, commissaries, dwellings, and the other necessary buildings and equipment having a present
estimated value of $175,000, but which upon completion of the second band mill will have a value esti-
mated tobeinexcessof $ 250,000
(c) $100,000 of notes of the Oneida & Western Railroad Company, bearing 8% interest, due $2,000
monthly beginning January 12, 1922, these notes being the purchase price given by the Railroad Company
to the Lumlier Company for 4.8 miles of main line and sidings now being completed by the Lumber Com-^ inn n n
pany, all subject to the formal approval of the Interstate Commission. \'alued at $ 100,000
(d) The entire $750,000 of capital stock of tlie Oneida & Western Railroad, a common carrier which runs
from Oneida. Tenn.. located on the main line of the Southern Railway about 200 miles south of Cincin-
nati, to a point beyond .Stockton, Tenn., a distance of 28 miles. The railroad has been valued in excess
of $750,000. has only current debts to about $17,000 outstanding, exclusive of its $100,000 debt pledged
under this mortgage. The railroad is broad gauge, standard construction, opens up a large territory and
serves a large number of industries, including saw mills and coal mines, and is earning a fair return on its* ___ .„.
capital. Valued at $ 750,000
$2,000,000
2. The stockholders of the Lumber and Railroad Companies have an investment in these properties of approximately
$1,500,000.
3. The earnings of the Lumber and Railroad Companies for the past three years have averaged some Z'/i times the
interest on these bonds without regard to conversion but with greatly enlarged facilities of the Lumber Company,
the earnings and conversion should be materially increased.
4. The properties are controlled and managed by men who have had a long and honorable record of successful man-
agement in this kind of timber.

Postponement of Hardwood Case Is Severe Disappointment
Extreme disappointment is felt by Memphis lumbeMn.'ii who are defend-
ants in the "open competition plan" case over the postponement of rear-
gument by the Supreme Court until October. It was confidently expected
that the reargument, which was asked for in February and which was
set fur the second week in April, would be heard in Washington April 11.
and announcement of the postponement came as a distinct shock to every
lumiierman in this part of the country, whether affiliated with the open
competition plan or not. R. M. Carrier, president of the association ;
John M. Pritcbard. secretary-manager, and F. R. Gadd. manager of statis-
tics, went to Washington to be present dining the arguments and were,
therefore, among the first to receive the discouraging information.
It is now felt that with the reargument postponed until October 10 no
decision can be expected before early in 1922. This means that the liual
decision of the Supreme Court will probably not come down in less than
two years from the time the original complaint of the government was
heard before the late Judge John E. McCall of the Federal Court for the
Western District of Tennessee. The machinery of the association estab-
lished for the purpose of gathering, compiling and disseminating the
monthly stock reports, monthly production reports and the weekly sales
reports is still intact, but it is not being used for the reason that the
injunction restrains the association and the defendants from any and all
activities whatsoever under the open competition plan. It is recognized
tbat nothing can be done, and it is putting it mildly to say that the post-
ponement of this case is the most bitter development since the original
restraining order, which the defendants are trying to have set aside by the
Supreme Court on appeal, was issued in mid-March, 1920.
Although it is fully appreciated that these cannot have the slightest
bearing on the decision of this tribunal, lumbermen are not overlooking
the reference in President Harding's message to "open price associations,"'
or the report and recommendations on the same subject made by the
Federal Trade Commission.
The following statement on the postponement was issued by Gen. L. C.
Boyle, chief of counsel for the lumbermen on April 12 :
"This enforced delay in settling the important legal questions involved
in this case will be a sore disappointment not only to the lumber industry
but to all industries throughout the country, and this because the deter-
mination of this case will definitely demark the legal limits of co-operative
activities within the body of trade associations. There is nothing signifi-
cant or extraordinary touching the postponement of the case until the
fall term. Of course, I cannot speak by the card, but unquestionably the
reason for the delay is due to the congested condition of the docket. Other
cases were likewise put over until fall. In addition to this it Is prooer
to state that in practically all of the leading cases tbat have come up
under the Sherman law two and sometimes three arguments have been
requested by the court."

Clubs and Associations
Evansville Endorses Hardwood Code
The Evansville Lumbermen's Club has endorsed the proposed sales code
of the National Hardwood Tainiber Association and at its meeting in Xlay
it is expected that one or two minor changes in this code will be suggested
so that they may be taken up at the national conventicm to he held at
rilibub'Ipbui ill -llllie.
Oppose Lighterage Restrictions
The National Wholesale Lumber Dealers Association has petitioned the
Trunk Line Association. New York, for a hearing on Proposal No. 2S9S,
Docket No. IM dated April 9, lil21, in which the Erie Railroad proposes
to amend its tariff containing lighterage and terminal regulations in New
York Harbor and vicinity so as to restrict tbi> movement of lumber for
lighterage delivery in New York llarhor and confine the movement of this
commodity for points in New York and Brooklyn where delivery can be
madi' from cars on private sidings or team tracks, and which will not
involve a break-bulk service.
This Is evidently the beginning of another attempt on the part of the
railroads serving New York to either abolish the lighterage delivery of
lumber in New York Harbor or to get an extra charge for the service in
addition to the New York rate.
The National Wholesale Lumber Dealers Association has persistently
opposed a nundier of somewhat similar previous attempts on the part of
the railroads serving New York, as to refuse lighterage service to lumber
shippers while affording lighterage service to shippers of other commodities
would lie a serious discrimination against the lumber iudtistry.
The National Wholesale Lumber Dealers Association proposes to vigorously
oppose any attempt to restrict or withdraw the lighterage service on
lumber in New York, as such procedure on the part of the carriers would
riiaterially increase the transportation cost of delivering lumber in New
York and teuil to further retard the building situation.
Louisville Against Tariff on Lumber
The Louisville Hardwood Club at a meeting on April 12 discussed the
proposed tariff on importations of lumber from Canada, and could see
nothing in this proposal but higher prices for the consumer, greater deple-
tion of American forests, and the possibility of Canada evening the score
by placing tariffs on American lumber moving into Canada. It was
argued that in view of the fact that the United States sells and ships more
lumber into Canada than is shipped from Canada into .\merica. such a
tariff would lienelit a chosen few, but injure many more shippers, especially
hardwood shippers. It was felt that there was no need of any such tariff,
anil that laws of supply and demand were best fitted to take care of the
situation.
Following a long discussion of the matter the organization adopted reso-
lutions protesting the enactment of any such tariff, and instructed the
secretary to send copies to the state representatives at Washington.
Chicago Hoo Hoo Plan Concatenation
As a prelude to the annual meeting of the annual convention of the
.\merican Wholesale Lumber Association the loyal Hoo Hoo of Chicago
will hold a grand concatenation at the headquarters of the. Lumbermen's
Association on the evening of May 17. F. M. Baker, vicegerent of the
Chicago chapter, held a meeting with a number of the members on Friday.
.\pril 22, and plans were made to secure a number of candidates and hold
the usual festivities. It is anticipated that this affair will be an especially
large and bajjpy one because of the large number of visitors who will be
here for the wholesalers' meeting and will no doubt attend.
Carriage Makers Optimistic
With display of an optimism over the business outlook, which probably
excelled that of any gathering of its kind in recent months, members of
the Cincinnati Carriage Makers' Club at the Business Men's Club elected
a new board of governors and heard an address by Richard Crane of the
R. G. Dun & Co. Those named as governors were E. E. Hess, A. Gndier,
F. H. Bossemeier and Henry Voss. In the course of his address Mr. Crane
urged that more attention be given to thfe study and solution of problems
concerning education, capital and labor and law questions. A dinner and
entertaiiHiient followed the b\isiness meeting.

Danger of Overloading
Tractor and truck nianufacturers have so often emphasized the
extreme importance of either habitually or occasionally overloading
(if their products, that it would seem that the suljject would no
longer need mentioning. Unfortunately this is not the case, as many
saw mill owners and operators who are using trucks and tractors
are guilty of this practice.
Every standnrd warranty covering tiic trucks ;uid tractors em-
ployed in the hardwood field are void in the event of overloading.
Tiro companies and trailer manufacturers have also pointed out the
danger and damage of ovciloading and in some instances the State
authorities are arranging a drastic campaign to apprehend and
punish both owners and drivers of trucks and tractors which an'
found on inil)lic highways overloaded.
The practice is foolish, expensive and destructive. Not only do
the truck and trailers suffer as a result of overloading, but ultimately
if the practice is continued, the improved roads will be destroyed.
Taxpayers who have invested their money in a system of good
roads can not be expected to reconcile themselves to seeing this road
wantonly destroyed by lack of foresight and negligence of owners
who insist in overloading trucks and tractors.
The writer prophesies that unless a decided effort to discourage
this pernicious practice is made the public whose money has built
these roads are going to enact legislation which will drive all forms
of traffic other than pleasure cars and light rigs off these improved
roads. This would be wrong and certainly can not be construed as
progressive, but it is very likely to be justifiable if the owners of
these rigs do not realize that they are defeating their own interest
by continuing tlic overloading. The blame will lay entirely with
the truck and tractor operator who overloads his rig, and ultimately
all must suffer for his folly.
The practice of overloading is not ouh- uneconomical and destruc-
tive, but it is absolutely unnecessary. The depreciation of the
tractor and damage to the mechanism greatly offsets any possible
advantage or benefit of the overload.
Trailers are not prohibitive in price and truck owners wlio feel
that their rig is unable to handle the entire load which is required
to be moved should adopt trailers. The cost of such trailers is
about one-third that of an additional truck and the operating cost
plus the interest and dc]ircciation is not over one-fourth that of a
truck.
Beccnt developments in the niaiiufiu-turc of logging trailers show a
ver_v close perfection of this e(|uipment. The new trailers now in
the market follow the tested and approved standard principles of
the older model, yet they possess many new and e'xclusive features
which increase the ease of operation and the sturdiness of the
rig. One trailer of this type which has come to the writer's recent
notice has an interesting feature in its connection which permits
the tractor and trailer to turn with the load at any angle without
shifting the load.
By adding such equipnient loads lan be doubled without danger
of overloading and oiicrnting cost will not be increased propor-
tionately.
It behooves every owner of trucks and tr:ictors to watch liis
neighbors, especially those who are operating their trucks on the
same public highway, and to discourage this practice. By so doing
the valuable improved good roads will not suffer and the operating
and maintenance cost of the truck will not be increased and most
assuredly production will not suffer. An indirect advantage will
be found in the fact that the public will not be antagonistic to the
use of highways by loaded trucks if such equipment is not over-
loaded and consequently does not tear up and destroy the road.
Telling the World About the "Caterpillar"
'I'lic :ihn(pst I'ndli'ss diversity of uses to wliicli tlie Holt ' ' (Jater-
liill:ir'' 'l"r:ii-t(ir luis luen successfully adapted is portrayed in
striking f;isliion by live bulletins, or pamphlets, and five handsome
brochures, which The Holt Manufacturing Company has recently
issued.
This literature is iirofuscly illustrated, is of the highest orler
typographically, and covers in interesting detail . the varying
]pli;ises of perforniance of the "Caterpillar.'' It woulfF seem from
these liodklits th;it wherever the sun shines on an endeavor of
civilized oKin where traction is employed, a Holt five or ten-ton
" ('ater]nll.ir ' ' tr:ictor is found successfully toiling. These
traetors are shown hauling artillery, bringing up "big guns" for
position on the Western Front. They arc hauling long trains of
long steel casings in the oil fields of Oklahoma. They are dragging
disc ])lows and harrows in Minnesota and harvesting in Kansas.
Wherever good roads are being built these tractors pull the road
machinery. In the woodlands of the North they arc pulling
sledges with tons and tons of northern timber .'iml with equal
success are "mud-boating" in the hardwoods forests of the South.
At the same time the "Caterpillar" is skidding teak logs in
India, plowing cane fields in Cuba and rice fields in Arkansas, and
drawing trains of heavily laden log wagons through the mountains
of West Virginia.
The foreword to one of these brochures, which says "that the
'Caterpillar' tractor li,as. become established the world over as the
most ]U'actical and most successful power ever known for cross-
i-cmutry freighting, road making and logging," is no idle boast.
It is indeed a "cross-country locomotive" able to travel and pull
.•mil climb in the deepest mud, or sand, up the steepest grades, on
all kinds of soils and where no other kind of power is practical.
The evidence is conclusive that the " Catcr|iillar " tractor has won
a most important position in the industrial. agricultiir;il and mili-
t;iry opfrations of the world.
These attractive liooklets. telling a story of real performance
in terms that impress and convince, must be taken as fitting evi-
dince of the ceaseless and highly intelligence enterprise that has
|iut till' "Caterpillar" to work throughout the world.

Memphis Club Favors Tariff on Jap Oak
The Lumbermon's CUib of Momphis uiuinimously adoptt'il resolutions
at its Romi-nionthly meeting at tin* Hotel Gayoso Saturday afternoon,
April 15, favoring imposition of a tariff on Japanese oak logs, lumber and
forest products on the ground that this is necessary to eqiniii/.e the tre-
mendous advantage enjoyed by Japanese interests in Pacific coast markets
of the United States over manufacturers in the southern hardwood pro-
ducing territory as a result of lower labor and transportation costs.
This organization, by a like vote, also adopted resolutions favoring
reciprocal tariff regulations with Canada, because of the similarity of
labor and transportation costs and because it is both desirable and impera-
tive to have such arrangements to insure free interchange of lumber and
forest products between the two countries.
Copies of the resolutions were ordered forwarded to the Memphis Cham-
ber of Commerce and to senators and representatives in Congress for
proper action. They were introduced by Col. S. B. Anderson, .president
of the Anderson-Tully Company.
Resolutions were also adopte<l out of respect to the memory of the late
W. F. Ilolzgrafe, general manager of May Brothers and a former vice-
president of the club.
J. H. Maassen, chairman of the sales code committee, reported the
endorsement of the code, recently submitted to members of the National
Hardwood Lumber Association, by the Evansville (Ind.) Lumbermen's
Club. He also said that meetings would be held by lumbermen at Chicago.

Southwestern Manufacturers Meet
An able defense of the present income and excess profits tax system
and vigorous opposition to proposals before Congress to substitute for
them and an appeal for immediate repeal of excessive freight taxes and
for a sound. conser\'ntive system of accounting were features of an
address by It. M. Rickey, acc<nintaut for the Southern Tine Association,
at the regular monthly meeting of the Southwestern Ilaniwuinl Manu-
fa-iturers' club in New Orleans. La.. Thursday, April 14.
With President C. J. Coppock of the Cybur Lumber C(>m|)any. Cylmr.
Miss., presiding, and Mr. Rickey as the principal speaker of the day, the
hardwood manufacturers held their meeting at New Orleans lumbermen's,
quarters, lOS University place, and it was one of the best attended monthly
conventions the club has held for several months. All three states —
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas — comprising the Southwestern llardwoml
Manufacturers' Club, were well represented.
The question of compiling and distriliuting certain cost information was
brought before the meeting, but it was referred to Secretary A. C. i'owen,.,
who was instructed to refer it, in turn, to the club's counsel f<»r advice
regarding the legality of such a course. "Take absolutely no chances,"
was the admonition of C. H. Sherrill of the Sherrill Hardwood Lumber
Company of Merryville. La., and the advice was promptly heeded. Thurs-
day's start to provide this iuformation was a sequel of a movement set on
foot by the manufacturers nearly a year ago. The project was postjioned
to await settlement of the "Open Competition Plan." Manufacturers
maintain that instead of increasing prices, such mutual exchange of cost
information, by making practicable a higher degree of economy, should
have a decided tendency to reduce them.
C. H. Sherrill, chairman of the finance committee, made a re[inri .m Mh'
financial standing of the club, which shdwed that it was in a wlnilcsumf
financial status.
Among the principal speakers were :
(iardiner Hardwood Cnmpany, Laurel, Mis
Ci... New Orleans: Phil A. Rwn of the

Company, Benford. Tex. ; Soniat &
II. H. Wiggin Lumber Company of PlaquemJne. I^a.
Mr. Rickey in liis address, which was well received by the manufacturers,
asserted that the repeal of the income and excess profits taxes would
merely result in a shifting of the taxation burden, as the nation's debts
must be paid and its expenses must go on anyway; that the repeal of the
income tax would unjustly rellevi* the n^pii-property holder at the expense
of the property holder, and that the repeal of the excess profits tax would
reduce the burdens of the more prosperous at the expense of manufac-
turers less able to pay ami would, in short, "result in a too drastic applica-
tion of the Biblli-al admonition that 'to him that hath, shall be given ;
and t<i him that hath not. shall be taken away that which he hath.' "

American Wholesalers Launch "500" Campaign
In less than onp year from thi> ilato of Us organization, the American
Wholesale Lumber Association has liuilt up Its membership to more than
250. In the light of conditions which have obtained In the lumber field
during the past .year, this fact in itself constitutes a remarkable record.
PVr this bunch of "go-getters," however, the above mark is onl.v a
starter. ,Tust recentl.v J. 11. Burton, president of the A. W. L. A., inaugu-
rated what is known as the "500 Campaign," through which he intends to
huild the membership of the American Wholesale Lumber Association to
a total of 500 by the date of the first annual meeting which is to be held
at the Congress Hotel, Chicago, Ma.v 18 and 19.
In outlining the "500" campaign, Mr. Burton has adopted the simple
yet eflfective plan of having each present member of the A. W. L. A. bring
in one new member on or before the date of the annual meeting.
To facilitate the operation of this campaign. Mr. Burton has appointed
a committee of l."i members to co-operate In securing new applications.
Ben S. Woodhead of the Beaumont Lumber Company was named as
supervising director of the campaign, and Charles B. Carothers was
appointed general chairman. The members of the committee are as
follows : W. C. Lawton, Waldo K. Holmes. Bert R. West, K. M. Galennie,
F. J. Buschow, S. M. Masters. R. L. .\llen. Frank Burnaby. N. H. Har-
grave, J. R. Thames, Geo. W. Stevens, Jr.. Frank .\. Nlles, Ben C. Currie,
II. W. Taylor. John C. Shepherd.
Although the campaign is just getting under way, the results thus far
have been exceptionally gratifying, as 27 new applications for member-
ship in the A. W. L. A. were received in the last few days. The members
are entering into the competitive spirit of the campaign and every mail
is bringing new applications to the association headquarters.
As L. R. Putman. directing manager of the association pointed out. the
list c»f applications received tluring the past few weeks has been thorougbl.v
representative. The west Coast, Central West. South atid East are all
well represented.
The accompanying chart explains in full detail the plan and organiza-
tion of the "500" campaign as outlined by Mr. Burton. Officials of the
association state that the success of the campaign is assured and that
without doubt the membership total set by Mr. Burton in the "500"
campaign will be reached by the date of the convention.
The association plans to start an honor roll shortly in which particular
<Tedit will be given each member who has secured one or more new
members.
"Irv." Cobb Entertains Lumbermen
Irvin S. Cobb. .Vmerica's "OlHcial" humorist, made a tremendous hit
with his address on "Home Folks" during the dinner tendered the Lum-
bermen's Club of Memphis by the Memphis Rotary Club at the Hotel
Gayoso Friday evening, April 15. where covers were laid for more than
500 lumbermen. Rotarians and their guests.
Mr. Cobb was at his best in relating humorous stories dealing with
people in various parts of the United States and particularly with some
of the negroes who participated in the recent war with the Central Powers.
His address was marked here and there by touches of pathos, and he
became extremely serious when he interpolated a solemn warning to his
hearers against the dangers of radicalism in the United States.
Milton Smith, president of the Rotary Club, acted as toastmaster. He
made a brief address of welcome, to which response was given, in most
happy vein, by Earl Palmer on behalf of the lumbermen.
Mr. Palmer also introduced "Irv." Cobb.

Plywood Makers Show Progress
Annual Meeting Is Characterized by Indorsement of National Advertising
Campaign and Attention to Improvement of Production and Distribution
A spirit of progress, evidenced in a de-
termination to improve the efficiency ot
their producing and distributing methods
and to intensively cultivate all old and new
fields of demand for their product, charac-
terized the second annual meeting of the
Plyvirood Manufacturers' Association, held
in Chicago at the Drake Hotel on Tues-
day and Wednesday, April 12 and 13.
At this meeting the questions of traffic
classifications and rates, tariff for the pro-
tection of the industry from European
dumping, national publicity, standard
grading rules, standardization of glue, pro-
gress of the cost instruction book, general
association activities and the current econ-
omic status of the industry were handled.
This program was laid down by the
executive committee in its report, delivered
by Thomas D. Perry of the Grand Rapids
Veneer Works, of Grand Rapids, Mich.,
president of the association, at the opening
session of the convention.
M. Wulpi, commissioner, made an ex-
hibit of 1920 trade barometer reports and gave a comprehensive
view of conditions, demonstrating that there is a slow trend toward
improvement in the demand for and sales of plywood.
Mr. Perry was, for the second time, re-elected president, starting
on his third term. C. B. Allen of the Allen-Eaton Panel Company
of Memphis, was elected first vice-president; F. B. Ward of the
Hanson-Ward Veneer Company, Bay City, Mich., was elected
second vice-president; L. H. Sergent of Marshfield, Wis., was
elected third vice-president and E. W. Benjamin of Cadillac, Mich.,
was re-elected treasurer. E. V. Knight of New Albany, Ind., and
O. G. Steiner of St. Louis, Mo., were added to the Executive Com-
mittee, which comprises the officers of the association.
The association endorsed with marked enthusiasm the report of
G. O. Worland of the Evansville Veneer Company, Evansville, Ind.,
chairman of the National Veneer Association, on the progress of
the national publicity program. This will involve the expenditure
by the association of a fund of about $50,000, and there was no
dissent to a full support of the movement.
Mr. Perry's recommendation that five standing committees were
authorized and appointed also received the indorsement of the
association. TTiese committees are as follows: Valuation Com-
mission, supervising costing work: Transportation Committee,
supervising traffic problems; Advertising Committee, in charge of
advertising campaign: Glue Committee, developing glue program;
Grades Committee, applying and revising grade rules.
Executive Committee Report
The following are the essential features of the Executive Com-
mittee report, which formed the basis for the deliberations of the
meeting:
"TARIFF: The report of Mr. Z. C. Thwing's hearing before
the Ways and Means Committee of the 66th Congress at Washing-
ton will be presented to you later in this meeting. We have brought
the matter to the attention of the Committee and have filed our
brief for the records. This will insure further consideration when
the nev^ tariff bill comes up for action. It is by no means certain
that a radical increase in import tariff at the present time will
benefit domestic business, and many doubts are expressed as to the
Thos. D. Perry, re-elected President
wisdom of pushing this matter at the pres-
ent time. If a tariff is imposed, the ply-
wood trade wants to be represented in the
dutiable articles. If it is decided that a
tariff for revenue is not wise, we should
be ready to drop our project. No further
action seems necessary at the present time.
"FINANCES: The Commissioner's re-
port includes a warning with regard to the
decreased income of our Association, and
the need of conserving the funds on hand
for necessary ' work, until our revenue
comes back to normal proportions. The
reduction of appropriations below the
point of effective work is, of course, not to
be considered, but to trim every unneces-
sary expense is absolutely essential. The
members of the Association ought to give
this matter careful thought during this ses-
sion and instruct the officers as to their
desires.
"ADVERTISING: The matter of co-
operative effort with the National Veener
and Panel Association is very timely. The
woodworking industry and particularly the veneer and plywood
producers have been very backward in keeping their product
before the eyes of the buying public and in developing suitable
propaganda for the training of salesmen in the merits of plywood
products. While definite steps toward a $50,000 fund for adver-
tising seems difficult at the present time, it would be most unfortu-
nate if the campaign is delayed or its progress thwarted by either
a vacillating policy or a lack of financial nerve. The plan has
been started and it must be carried forward wisely, carefully and
vigorously.
"GRADE RULES: The schedule of grade rules adopted at Cin-
cinnati, on February 9, has received wide publicity through a num-
ber of trade journals which have published it in whole or in part.
While considerable comment has developed, it has been a period
of relatively limited buying and the problems of adjusting details
in the grade rules have not developed as might be normally ex-
pected. The publishing of these grade rules in booklet form has
been delayed, partly because of the need of developing a little more
comprehensive description in a booklet and partly because of the
desire to have the various difficulties rectified before so publishing
it. It would seem as though a standing committee should be
appointed which will have charge of developing these grade rules
/■ind report progress at every meeting.
"SELLING PRICES: Whether or not wood products have reached
'he bottom of the market is perhaps debatable, but it^s certam that
when the market prices come to a stable point they will bear a very
definite relation to manufacturing costs. Probably all members
have made quotations that are considerably beneath existing cost
records, either hoping to keep their plants running or to convert
certain material into cash. While such transactions are more or
less demoralizing they are a necessary part of the deflation process,
and must be endured with the best possible grace.
"It is certain, however, that the man who knows his costs well
and is able to figure closely on the new material and labor basis
will have the best opportunity to obtain the desirable business.
Labor, as a whole, is showing a reasonable attitude toward this
process, both in accepting reduced wages and in increasing efflci-
36
Hardwood Record — Veneer & Panel Section

ency. Employers must do likewise in reducing the overhead bur-
dens to the lowest possible point.
"It has never been the function of Association activity to
endeavor to dictate or standardize prices, but to establish a unifoini
practice in costing that will enable the various members to conduct
their own business on as fair a margin of profit as the times will
permit.
•'COSTS: With Mr. Potter's (H. D. Potter, Cost Engineer) re-
port and submission of Section No. II of our cost instruction book,
we have approached one step closer to a comprehensive costing
method for plywood producers. Mr. Potter's future progress
toward the next section will be somewhat dependent on the resump-
tion of activity by our different factories, as the determination of the
facts necessary in the use of material and the resulting waste can
rarely be obtained from existing records and must be secured by
collected data and statistics of operation on a normal production
basis.
"After the adoption of Mr. Potter's report as presented, we
should develop the best plan of procedure to bring the greatest
return for our cost engineer's time. He can then proceed to out-
line the next section relating to material, but would hardly feel
that he was justified in having this printed until the statistics are
accumulated and the problems attending the accumulation of these
statistics are in a position to be included in our printed Section No.
HI.
"In the meantime, while this section is in process of preparation,
and Mr. Potter is completing the overhead tabulation for all of
our new members that will show the overhead on a 1920 basis for
all of our members, it would be possible to devote considerable
time to outlining cost systems in member plants, and said members
should be willing to share part of the expense. There are several
of our large plants which have expressed the desire to install cost-
ing systems. It will be much easier to make this installation while
business is at low ebb. and the use of so much of Mr. Potter's time
is an opportunity that such members probably cannot obtain after
business conditions improve.
"GLUE STANDARDIZATION: Your President's immediate
contact with this problem has perhaps made him more aware of
the seriousness of this situation, and as his opinions are personal
rather than an expression of Association policy, it has seemed
better not to incorporate them in this report. It is obvious that
we are where a vigorous constructive policy is required to preserve
an open market on Cassava flour glue, for buyers and sellers alike.
The Association has stood so unitedly in other projects that your
President feels sure it will rise to meet this emergency."
Publicity Report Features
In conjunction with his highly instructive and important report
on the national publicity campaign, Mr. Worland exhibited panel
moulding, which represents a field for the expansion of demand
for panels. William Clendenin, an advertising man of Chicago,
made an extended exhibit of photographic reproductions of illus-
trations and references to veneers used in the ancient furniture
crafts, displaying evidence of the use of veneer as far back as
Egyptian and Babylonian periods.
Commissioner Wulpi reported that twenty new members had
been added during the year and that forty-eight plants are now on
the roster of the Association, Thirty-three members attended the
second annual, w^hile at six mass meetings held during the year the
average attendance was thirty-eight men.
Plea for Tariff Protection
The following is a copy of the brief, minus exhibits, which the
Association placed before the Ways and Means Committee of Con-
gress, praying that the needs of the plyw^ood manufacturers be
considered in the revision of tariff schedules:

"Grand Rapids, Mich.,

"Hon. Joseph W. Fordney. Chairman, and
Members of the Ways and Means Committee,
Washington, D. C.
"Gentlemen :
"We appreciate the courtesy and attention shown to Mr. Thwing
(President of the Grand Rapids Veneer Works), representing the
Plywood Manufacturers' Association, and we beg leave to submit
in w^ritten form the essential points covered in his statements with
the thought that you may wish to quiz him further when the matter
has been taken up more in detail by your Committee.
"First: The Plywood Manufacturers* Association comprises ap-
proximately fifty member plants (Exhibit A attached), and was
reorganized in March, 1919. The members of the Association,
w^ith an output for 1920 considerably in excess of $30,000,000,
employ capital of over $15,000,000 and give employment to
approximately 12,000 men. In addition to those represented by
our Association, there are perhaps half as many more manufac-
turers in various grades of plywood, increasing the above figures
by approximately 50 per cent. It is generally considered that our
Association represents two-thirds of the industry.
"Second: While a few of the plywood plants have been in

Many a retail sale falls through because the graining and the
finish of the top or panels do not appeal to the customer's taste.
Man}' a customer has become dissatisfied because the plywood
used in his purchase did not stand up under use. He does not
blame the maker of the plywood, he blames your dealer and you.
Therefore, it is important to check up on your panels and
plywood. Be sure that the manufacturer who supplies you
works by such standards as those which produced Algoma,
the better Plywood. For thirty-live years we have been build-
ing plywood that does have the surface and graining which
give greater quality to the finished product.
To give Algoma Plywood its permanence of form, through-
out our factory care is used in every process. Test one order of
Algoma, the Better Plywood, by actual use, and you'll stand-
ardize on this plywood for every job.

Belts and Transmission
Kinks
By R. C. L., a Mechanic
Belts! This being the subject in hand, the writer will endeavor
to very clearly set forth the advantages and disadvantages of the
many different ways and means of making fast the ends of same
as applied to modern belt lacing methods when raw-hide lacings
are used.
It is not a case of the strength of the fastener which gives
best satisfaction in all manner of belting "new or well worn"
but a case of securing the fastener (metal or raw-hide) that
will hold the ends of belting best and longest. Belt ends or the
holes in them made for lacing or fasteners — pulling out under
the strain is the belt man's worst enemy and not the actual
breaking of the fastener or wearing, but mostly a case of holding
the ends and keeping holes intact.
Now that this is made plain and taken from long experience
with belt transmission, let the subject of best methods of lacing
designs be covered. In this capacity, there are many designs
for raw-hide use. The many styles seen in use are shown in
sketches herewith. There are styles which require a great deal
of work and lacing to insert with little added strength and others
which have real merit as observed and practiced by the writer
in past years. There are the "straight lace, that is, the strands are
on the same side of belt ends — which are suited for large pulleys
only and there are the "Hinge-lace" styles which suit for high
speed pulleys of small diameter, both of which will be shown
up fully in real operation conditions.
To run down the line of the sketches, Fig. 1 , shows stamp
sketch of a lattice lacing recommended for a large driving belt
1 2 inches and up in width and especially such a belt as is well
worn and thin — because of the strands reaching well back from
the belt ends and becoming interlocked again, the strain is taken
off the extreme belt end holes which are likely to pull out owing
to the great strain of a large belt on same. This is a straight
lace style and not for small high-speed pulleys but of large
diameter. To more fully understand this greatest of all mechanical
details in explaining, the straight lines of lacing or more so than
the other crossed lacing — denotes the under-side of belting or
the side to run next to the pulley.

•VERSATILITY
^eKeynote to OpemtingBfficiency
Versatility of manufacturing requires a complete assortment of
manufacturing facilities and a supply of varied raw materials,
all of high character. Our long successful record has been de-
veloped on a plan which aimed at an organization which could
fill any and all requirements for high grade hardwood ma-
terials. That versatile organization maintains contact with a
tremendous supply of splendid timber and incorporates four
band mills and three veneer mills, each designed for the manu-
facture of a specific product. The result is the best obtainable
in quartered and plain white oak lumber, sawed quartered
oak veneers, walnut lumber and sliced and rotary cut walnut
veneers, rotary cut yellow poplar crossbanding and a general
line of high-grade hardwoods — an oflEering and a service that
warrants your inquiries.

existence for a number of years, the industry is really just getting
on its feet, and beginning to realize the large field ahead by the
proper application and adaptation of plywood to not only furniture,
musical instruments and interior trim, but to a wide variety of new
uses in the course of development, such as waterproof plywood for
airplanes, marine construction, automobiles, seating, shoe soles and
heels and the more beautiful grades of figured wood for office
partitions, ceilings, and the wide variety of interior equipment uses
where the display of artistic American grown woods will prove a
great improvement over the plainer plywoods, fiber, plaster and
wall boards used at present.
"Third: From the present German offer (photographic copy of
which is attached as Exhibit B), we have chosen two typical
thicknesses — one in five-ply with lumber center, and one in three-
ply with veneer center (of which we are inclosing small sample)
showing an average type of construction, as Exhibit C and D.
We have chosen oak because it is mentioned in the German quota-
tion, and is a standard American grown wood, used in all parts
of this country. The comparison of American cost with German
offers of sale follows:
34" Q. S. O. Face, Reject Oak back 5-ply
Standard P. M. A. Costs per sq. ft. $.536
Nearest German Equivalent:
Thickness 20 mm — .7874"
Cost, marks @ $.016 per sq. ft. $ .244
marks @ $.238 (par) 3.63
14" Q. S. O. Face, Reject Oak back 3-ply
• Standard P. M. A. Costs per sq. ft. .382
Nearest German Equivalent:
Thickness 6 mm — .2362"
Cost, marks @ $. 1 6 per sq. ft. .141
marks @ $.238 (par) 4.09
"Fourth: The existence of the above low quotations from a
German source, and similar quotations which have been received
by half a dozen other plywood manufacturers, w^ill tend to bring
about the following difficulties in American factories:
*'(a) To encourage competing quotations on a basis below
average and practicable cost of American manufacture.
'*(b) To force the construction of an inferior grade of
material to meet this competition.
"(c) The reduction of American wages to an unreason-
able point in the attempt to make goods in competition with
the German underpaid labor.
"The prices extended as standard American prices are the last
official tabulation of costs by the Plywood Manufacturers' Associa-
tion at their September conference in Buffalo. While there has
seemingly been some decline from these prices, it has not been
confirmed by formal action, nor have there been such substantial
reductions in the cost of either labor, material or overhead, as to
justify some lower quotations that are now current.
"Fifth: With regard to the duty that should be levied, would
state that the Payne-Aldrich tariff of 1909 (repealed in 1913), with
a 35 per cent ad valorem duty on 'cabinet furniture, *** partly
made* was effective in protecting the plywood industry from dam-
aging importation. Still it is not certain that at the present time,
with the German situation as it exists, the same figure would be
effective. It was suggested by our members w^hen assembled at
Cincinnati on February 9, that this duty might advantageously
be 50 per cent. Only by such protection can the plywood indus-
try continue to grow, to perfect its product for artistic and archi-
tectural uses, and employ an increasing number of workmen at
living wages.
"If any further detailed information, or another conference with
Mr. Thwing is desired, please command us.
"Yours respectfully,
"PLYWOOD MANUFACTURERS* ASSOCIATION.
"(Signed) Thomas D. Perry."
The members decided to hold their next meeting in Chicago in
June.
Johnson Buys Diamond Veneer Stock
Grafton Johnson, of Greenwood, Ind., has purchased the interests
of Martin A. Cutsinger and the late John Thompson in the Diamond
Veneer & Lumber Co. at Shelbyville, Ind. By reason of the pur-
chase Mr. Johnson becomes probably the largest individual veneer
manufacturer in Indiana and one of the largest in the country. He
owns factories at Franklin, Roachdale and Edinburg, all in Indiana,
xnd has ten saw^ mills throughout southern Indiana and Illinois. The
Shelbyville plant was valued at approximately $225,000 when it,
was constructed, but this value is much greater now. It is planned
to make additions to the present plant. Homer Cutsinger, who has
been manager of the plant since its construction, left recently for
Florida and nothing w^as made public concerning the future man-
agement of the plant. Before acquiring sole ownership, Mr. John-
son was a half owner of the stock of the company. He is optimistic
about the future prospect for a general business revival, and,
although he does not expect to see a sudden return to national
prosperity, he believes there will be a big demand for veneer prod-
ucts when the long predicted rising tide sets in.
Announcement has been made by the Udell Works of Indian-
apolis, manufacturers of furniture, that because of recent orders the
plant has started working full time. This is the first time for
months that the plant has been able to do this. Tom Griffith, sales
manager of the company, recently returned from a trip through
the east with a bunch of orders.
New Indiana Furniture Concern
The Indiana Cash Drawer Company of Shelbyville, Ind., has just
been organized for the purpose of manufacturing an especially
patented cash drawer, which is a nevk' product and is to be used
in connection with a special design of desk for adding machines.
They \vil! also manufacture office and store furniture. Carl Tindall,
who is connected with the Tindall- Wagner Manufacturing Company
and the Tindall-Gehrling Company, both furniture companies, is
interested in this new venture. . Dr. Charles A. Tindall, of Shelby-
ville, and Dr. Paul R. Tindall, of Greensburgh. Ind., are also in the
company. The manufacture of tKe new product will be done at
the two plants in which Carl A. Tindall is interested for the present
time at least.
The name of the Syracuse Table Company of Syracuse, Ind.,
has been changed to Syracuse Cabinet Company.
Sawdust, which had been stacked near the Terre Haute (Ind.)
Casket Company, Ninth and Spruce streets, caught fire recently
and burned several minutes before being discovered. Fire com-
panies were called to check the blaze. It is believed that the fire
was started by sparks from a passing locomotive. There was little
damage.
Papers have been filed with the secretary of state by the Phoenix
Furniture Company of Indianapolis, Ind., showing a capitalization
of $10,000. The company will engage in the manufacturing busi-
ness. Directors of the concern are: I. Bernard Landman, Victoria
Landman and Harold S. Foye.
Chair Making Picks Up
The cnair business apparently is getting active, as shown in con-
nection with articles filed in Frankfort, Ky., last week. The Elkhorn
Table & Chair Company, Praise, Ky., capital $ 1 0,000, was char-
tered by G. D. Johnson and others. The capital of the Green River
Chair Company, Livermore, was increased from $100,000 to $150,-
000. The Livermore Chair Company, increased from $20,000 to
$75,000. The Murphy Chair Company, Owensboro, which has
been operated as a firm, became a corporation, listing a capital of
$300,000, and naming M. J. Murphy, J. F. Murphy and B. R.
Smith as charter parties.

Million Dollar Publicity Drive Begins
Furniture Manufacturers and Distributers Form Bureau to Raise Funds and
Direct Three -Year Campaign
The raising of not less than $1,000,000 to finance a three-year
plan of national publicity, was undertaken by "The Furniture
Publicity Bureau," an organization that was perfected by members
of the National Council of Furniture Manufacturers and the Na-
tional Association of Retail Furniture Dealers at a joint meeting in
the Drake Hotel on Michigan avenue, Chicago, April 12.
Subscriptions to this sum will be sought from retailers as well
as manufacturers. The money so raised w^ill be expended, accord-
ing to the by-laws of the newly organized bureau, to "emphasize
the essentialness of furniture." But the organizers specify that no
money shall be spent on general publicity until a minimum of a
million has been subscribed.
The organization of this bureau is regarded as one of the most
important events that has taken place within the furniture in-
dustry in many years. It is believed to mark a distinct advance in
the merchandising wisdom of the manufacturers and distributers
of furniture. The promoters of the movement view^ the field for
increasing demand and developing better taste in furniture as
practically unlimited. One furniture manufacturer, Adolph
Karpen of S. Karpen & Bros., Chicago, expressed the opinion that
the three-year campaign would double and perhaps even treble the
sales of furniture, while the agreement was almost unanimous that
an enormous increase in the demand for good quality furniture
was certain to result. The gross sales of furniture manufacturers
last year are estimated at $250,000,000.
The basic idea of the campaign is to turn the minds of the Amer-
ican people back to the importance of their homes, point out to
them that they spend most of their lives in their homes, that the
home is the chief thing in civilized life and that it should by all
means be furnished in some degree of comfort and beauty. They
hope through their advertising data, which will be distributed to
the people through magazines, newspapers and in many other
w^ays, to educate the public to an understanding of what real com-
fort and beauty in home furnishings are.
The bureau was organized following a report on the advisability
of the proposed campaign made by the temporary furniture pub-
licity bureau, an organization made up of equal nunibers of
retailers and manufacturers. W. B. Baker, the secretary of the
bureau, presented the report.
P. E. Kroehler, of the Kroehler Manufacturing Company,
Naperville, 111., was elected president of the permanent bureau.
John Young, Young Furniture Company, Cleveland, O., was made
vice-president ; W. B. Baker, Chicago, secretary ; C. S. Dexter,
Grand Rapids Chair Company, Grand Rapids, Mich., treasurer.
A further group of executives, three manufacturers and three
retailers, called the executive committee, Vk'as selected. The
menabers of this committee were elected for 1, 2 and 3 years,
respectively. They follow:
Manufacturers — E. G. Simmons, Simmons Bed Company, 3
years; W. J. Wallace, Berkey & Gay Furniture Co., Grand Rapids,
Mich., 2 years; Ralph Taylor, Jamestown Table Company, James-
town, N. Y., I year. Retailers — M. Hubbard, Cleveland, O., 3

Indiana Wants Veneer Company's Land
The 181 acres of land owned by the Hoosier Veneer Company,
and desired by the state conservation commission of Indiana as an
addition to Turkey Run Park in Indianapolis, has been appraised
at $9,733.40, for condemnation purposes. The property was
divided into two tracts, one with 51.80 acres and the other with
129.88 acres, the valuation for the smaller tract being $2,590 or
$50 an acre, and $7,143.40 or $55 an acre for the larger tract.
One of the appraisers wished to set the value of the land at $70 an
acre and the figures reported are a compromise. The commission
w^ished to only pay $30 an acre for the land, but under court pro-
ceedings, Judge Daniels, of the Parke Circuit Court, has accepted
the appraisement and discharged the appraisers. Within ten days
a motion for a re-appraisement by other appraisers can be filed by
either party, but nothing can be done by the court until that time.

nity to build up an unusual acquaintance and acquire a thorough

been in the sales department of the Astoria Mahogany Company
since the consolidation of Huddleston-Marsh, Astoria Veneer Mills

THE PAST AND PRESENT IN MAHOGANY
Sails for the *'Gold Coast"
Oliver M. Wolfe, son of Clarence P. Wolfe, editor of the New
Harmony Times, at New Harmony, Ind., and postmaster of that
town, has sailed for Africa, where he will buy mahogany logs
from the natives of the "dark continent" for the Talge Veneer
Company at Indianapolis. He made a trip to Africa for this same
company about a year ago, when he purchased a large number of
valuable logs. On the second trip he will go to that part of Africa
known as the "gold coast." He expects to be gone for a year or
so. Mr. Wolfe was in the aviation department of the United States
government during the world war.
Squirrels Plant American Walnut Groves
Bouncing along the fence rail like a bit of animated thistledown,
he manages to convey the impression that he hasn't a serious
thought in his head, and few^ would suspect that the squirrel is
the chap who supplied the American Army with the wood for
its gunstocks, though he didn't mean to do it, of course. He was
looking after his own food supply, saving the resources of summer
against the famine of winter, but incidentally he placed a big de-
posit to man's account in Nature's savings bank.
The Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture,
is authority for the statement that the squirrel, through his habit
of burying nuts, has been the most important agent in the repro-
duction of American walnut groves. The timber from the groves
planted years ago by the squirrels satisfied an important need
during the war w^hen w^alnut was used to make gunstocks and air-
plane propellers. Substitute woods for gunstocks have been tried
by many manufacturers, but none has been found that proved as
suitable for this purpose as black w^alnut.
The fence-rail forester seems to have the needs of American
walnut in his mind v/hen he goes about his work. As a sapling
this species can not endure much shade; if it is to survive it must
be planted in rich soil w^here the sunlight w^ill fall upon it. The
squirrel has set out w^hole groves by burying nuts in the open areas
at the forest edges, and also many single trees by planting in the
fence corners. Why he buries the nuts is evident enough, but
why he leaves some of them to sprout and grow is not so clear.
!t may be that an unusually severe winter or a hunter or an owl
or something else kills the little banker before he has time to
draw out his savings. An early spring may make him independent
of his storage plant. Or it may be that he has an absent-minded
streak in his graceful make-up and just forgets where he puts a
thing. Whatever the cause, humanity profits from the results.
In Bulletin 933, a professional paper by the Forest Service, the
growth and management of black walnut timber is discussed. In
reviewing the present supply of this valuable wood the specialists
estimate roughly that there are 821,000,000 feet of walnut timber
in this country. This figure is approximate only, and it is well to
remember that only 50 per cent of it is available to commerce.
The remaining 50 per cent is growing in inaccessible spots, or is
held by owners who refuse to sell.
American walnut is valuable, it is easy to secure a stand, and
it makes a fairly rapid growth. There is always a demand for it
and, in war time, an exceptional demand at high prices. Under
these circumstances it w^ould seem that large commercial groves
would be the common thing, but the fact that this tree requires
the use of good agricultural soil handicaps commercial production.
Before the w^ar the annual cut of black walnut ran betw^een 40 and
50 million feet a year, but the inroads made upon the groves dur-
ing the hostilities have considerably reduced the supply now
available.
Careful m&nagement of the existing groves and the establish-
ment of new ones wherever economic conditions will permit will
be necessary ineasures if the needs of the future are to be met.
American w^alnut has exceptional qualities when planted as
an ornamental tree. With the exception of a tent caterpillar, its
foliage appears to nearly free from insect pests that damage the
beauty of other shade trees. It also furnishes a nut which is of
edible and commercial value.
The Wiggington Desk Manufacturing Company, formerly of
West Virginia, has located offices in the Starks building, Louis-
ville, Ky., and plans to purchase certain buildings at Camp Taylor,
when the sale of property there starts next w^eek, with the idea of
putting in a big woodworking plant.

style which can be used to advantage in any size or speed of
belting, pulleys, etc.
While it requires a great amount of lacing, it pays its way
once in. (M). underside, (N) top. Fig. 8, style is well used
on small 2" width belts such as governor belts, lathe belts, etc.
It has great endurance. (O) — underside, (P), top side. Note
these strands should be very small 3/16".
Fig. 8I/2, shows still another style outlined by a friend of the
w^riter as possessing merit as given trial by him on large belts.
However, the writer having no experience with same — is not
able to comment on it. Let it be said — belt lacing is a science
and real practice only can familiarize the mechanic with the
various ways and means of inserting the strands of lacing. How-
ever, any mechanic with imagination can readily observe the two
views of the sketches and w^ith the materials w^ork out the
styles set forth in the belts by comparing same with the sketches
as the work proceeds.
Pig. 9, show^s what the writer terms the "king of all quick
lacings in the style of "straight lacing" for pulleys of large diam-
eter. This requires no excess of lacing, is quickly inserted, well
braced and will fill the average needs of lacing about any plant.
Fig. 10 — shows another favorite style which is old to mechanics but
has never been discarded for the new styles in fast speeded belts or
pulleys of sn^all diameter. This is shown laced single strands for
clearness, but may be made double, as shown, which w^ill make it
fit for any hard pull.
To make this grand lacing more plainly seen in operation, note
Fig. (II), sketch — showing an edge view of Fig. 10 sketch. It
■will be seen that the top strand passes to the lower side of belt,
also when this joint is rounding a small pulley or large, the same
strain is placed on the bottom strands of lacing as is on the top
and when belt is made straight — the same strain takes place, owing
to the hinge effect produced.
Fig. 12, shows just why the many stamp sketches of straight-lace
styles show^n above do not serve as well as the "Hinge" style on
rounding sharp curves as with small pulleys of limited diameter.
Note in doing this, the top strands become taut while the under-
side becomes slack. With the large diameter pulleys this will
work very satisfactory owing to the absence of the sharp curves
encountered. There is a lacing style suitable for any mechanic's
needs shown in this chart, if he w^ould be progressive and have a
method for each condition encountered about the plant, he will
do well to preserve this issue for future consultation.
The Prospect Cabinet Company of Cleveland has been chartered
with a capital of $ 1 0,000, to manufacture furniture and ^\'ood prod-
ucts of all kinds. The incorporators are Sidney E. Ebaner, Edwin
H. Klein, Jacob Mandel, D. Rontat and Rose Gottfreid.
Work was resumed a few^ days ago at the plant of the Stout
Furniture Company, at Brazil, Ind., also the plant of the Brazil
Wood Products Company. The resumption of these two plants
gave employment to 300 people. A number of the other plants
at Brazil are planning to resume activity, it is announced.
The woodwork in the lobby and corridors of the new
Hotel Sonntag at Evansville, Ind., now in the course of
erection, will be finished in mahogany, it has been an-
nounced. The hotel will have in connection a theatre
that will have a seating capacity of 2,200, it being the
largest theatre in the city of Evansville. Construction
work on the hotel and theatre started last fall and will
be completed about the first of May at a cost of more
than $700,000, This is the largest piece of construction
work now going on in Evansville. The building is being
erected at the corner of Main and Sixth streets and is
expected to greatly add to the appearance of that neigh-
borhood.

National Hardwood Executives Meet
"The pre-convention meeting, of the Inspection Rules Committ^^e of
this association was held Marcli*^l-April 1 and our Executive Committee
held its regular spring meeting on .April 1," states the Official Bulletin
of the National IIartlwoo<l I^umber Association.
"Of the Rules Committ<-e the following members were present: Jolin
W. McClure. chairman ; J. I,. Benas, Jos. 11. Idon. E. P.. Ford, Harry C.
Fowler. M. J. Fox. C. II. Kramer. H. W. McDonough, O. H. Krebs, Chas.
N. Perrin, Frank Purcell, W. T. Roberts, L. L. Shertzer and Daniel Wertz.
"In compliance with requests from the .Associated Wood-Using Indus-
fries they were invited to send representatives to the meeting of our
Rules Committee for the purpose of conferring on point.s of mutual interest
as pertaining to National rules. In response to this invitation there was
present a special committee from the National Council of Furniture .\sso-
ciations, composed of J. A. Conrey, chairman ; W. A. Thomas and J. J.
Gruender. -Also a committee representing the Wood Conservation Sec-
tion of the Farm Wagon Department of the National Implement and
Vehicle Association, composed of 11. H. Williams, chairman : F. H. <;iuess-
ing. J. Kittredge and F. .A. Jones. There is every indication that the
results of these conferences were entirely satisfactory to all concerned.
"Our committee duly formulated its recommendations covering proposed
changes and additions to the National rules and which recommendations
will be brought before the June convention for final action thereon.
These recommendations are not yet ready for publication, but an official
copy of them will be placed in the hands of every member of this asso-
ciation on or lieforc May 9, in accordance with Section 2, .Article 9 of our
by-laws, which stipulates that such a copy be submitted to the entire
membership not less than thirty days prior to the annual meeting. From
the character of these recommendations it is certain that they will con-
tribute materially to the interest and zest of the meeting.
".AH of the mend>ers of the Executive Committee were present at its
meeting and considerable important work was transacted. Its review of
the course of the association's affairs since the last sitting of the board of
managers, December IG, showed that notwithstanding concurrent trade
conditions a very appreciable measure of progress has been made, and that
the outlook for a continuation of this progress is entirely favorable. Fiftj'-
nine applications for membership received since December 16 were passed
upon and accepted bringing the total n\imber of new mend)ers admitted
during the traversed ten months of the present association year up to
245. Membership losses from all causes during the same period have never
reached above a normal moderate percentage.
"While the activities of our Inspection L>epartment have latterly fallen
below their record for the corresponding months of last year, the
machinery of the Inspection Service has been readjusted to the reduced
possibilities of its field and kept busy accordingly.
"The finances of the association were shown to have l)een well con-
served, and as regulated so as to conform to the best possible advantage
with the existing financial situation at large.
"On the whole, it is now assured that this association will be able to
close its twenty-fourth fiscal year two months hence with a showing
worthy of the best years of its history and which, everj-thing considered.
must i'C recognized as an achievement at once notable and exceptional."

Buffalo Opposes Tariff
Tlie Buffalo Lumber Exchange lately adopted resolutions iu opposition
to a tariff on lumber and individual concerns have appealed to members
of Congress to vote against any bill placing a lumber duty. At the
closing session of the Legislature Senator Leonard W. H. Gibbs introduced
a resolution to petition Congress against placing a tariff on lumber im-
ported into this country. He declared that a duty on lumber would
result in boosting of prices of that commodity in this country. The tariff,
he said, would add to the burdens of thousands of farmers and home
builders. The introduction of the resolution was commented on by
Senator Downing, who said that as a Democrat he was heartily iu favor
of the measure, which might ultimately lead to Democratic free trade and
which means the abandonment of the Republican plan of protection.
Wisconsin Loggers to "Carry On"
The Central Wisconsin Loggers" Association held its regular quarterly
meeting on April 14 and 15 at Antigo, more than thirty-five representative
logging operators being present. In addition to Langlade county interests,
loggers in Rhinelander, Wausau, White Lake, Mattoon, New London,
Merrill and a number of other cities were on hand. There was a general
discussion of business conditions and prospects. Opinion seemed to be
that while some summer logging operations would be carried on, the
situation in regard to lumber demand and prices is such that input of
logs will generally be unprofitable until conditions change for the better,
which probably will be appreciably by early fall, at the time when winter
logging usually is undertaken for the season.
With the Trade
Receiver Named for Burnaman
R. E. MastersoD of Beaumont has been named receiver tor the sawmill
properties being operated by J. II. Burnaman in Newton roniity by W. H.
Davidson in the fifty-eighth district court. .Application for a receiver was
made by the Beaumont lAmibcr Company, whicli claims indebtedness iu
the sum of $13,432, which it is alleged Mr. Burnamau agreed to pay from
profits of the mill. It is stated in the petition that there are SOO.OOO feet
of lumber at the mill and 300.000 feet of logs in the pond
Kelso Heads New Corporation
The Forest Products Corporation has recently been incorporated under
the laws of the state of Illinois, with a paid up capital of $183,000.
This company has succeeded Jones, Coates & Bailey and two other firms,
and will operate a retail and wholesale business, with main office, yard
and mill at Chicago.
R. M. Kelso, president of the Forest Products Corporation, is forty-two
years of age. He began his career in the lumber business with the Chicago
Lumbering Company of Michigan at Manistique in 1898. He was for
thirteen years with the Edward Hines Lumber Company of Chicago, and
for the last five years has been the eastern representative of the Inter-
national Lumber Company of International Falls, Minn.
A few of Mr. Kelso's close friends, who had advance information on his
new venture, predict big success.
Here's wishing him the best o' luck.
Secure Government Contract
The Thos. \. Charshce Company, Inc., Stewart building, Lombard and
Gay streets, Baltimore, Md., was the lowest bidder on about 7.5,000 feet
of 12 by 12 oak pieces, IG to 30 feet long, for use of the Aberdeen Proving
grounds of the Federal Government near Baltimore, the lumber being
obtained from a mill at Marian, Fla., and now being in process of delivery.
There are eight cars in all, with some three cars in now.
A new lumber yard has been established at 1113 Stiles street, this city,
by I. Fruman, trading as the National Lumber Company. The concern
handles all kinds of woods.
Daniel Annan, Sr., Dies
Daniel Annan, secretary-treasurer of the Western Maryland Lumber
Company at Cumberland. Md., is mourning the death of his father, Daniel
.\nnan. Sr., who was president of the Second National Bank there and
interested in the company. Mr. .Vnnan's mother passed away only a
few months ago.
Fire Destroys Mills and Yard
Fire of unknown oritjiu early on the morning of April 8 destroyed the
mill work plant, planing mill and lumber yard of Joseph Thomas & Son.

$75,000. fully covered by insurance. Members of the corporation stated
that the establishment would he rebuilt without delay. The company

ness having remained during all that time in one family, with the present

Bruce's Memphis Plant Starts
The E. L. Bruce Conipoiiy ct .Miinjilils and Little Kock has completed
Its plant 1(11- thi- nianul'acture iit' (lourluK In Memphis and placed this in
operation April 21. There are only two units installed, but these will lie
run. They have a capacity of about one and one-halt ears per day. The
plant has been built for four units and has suBicient boiler power to
operate this many, but the two last units will not be installed for the
present. Demand for Ilooriiifr. accordiuB to the management, has shown
substantial Increase during the past several weeks and is now very good.
This company is moving its general otlices to Memphis and will have them
installed here by the end of ne.\t week. E. L. liruce is president, It. T.
Bruce is vice-president and general manager at both .Memphis and Little
Roek ; P. E. liruce, secretary, is in charge of operations at Memphis, and
Arthur Bruce is sales manager for the local plant. When this company
begins operating all the flooring plants in Memphis will be running,
although not all at capacity.
Lucas Succeeds Jones
The board of directors of the Colundnis (Ohio) Lumber Trade K.vchangc,
at a recent meeting accepted the resignation of W. E. Jones as executive
secretary, selecting K. M. Lucas to fill the vacancy. Mr. Lucas is a well
known lawyer and has been speoializing in association work. Mr. Jones
continues as nominal secretary as the constitution of the organization pro-
vides that the secretary must be a mendter. Mr. Jones had been secretary
ftir more than a year and accomplished a great deal towards perfecting the
organization in that time. Ills ri'signation was cavised by his desire to
devote more time to the affairs of the company In which he is interested,
the E. J. & W. E. Jones Company, at 406 West Spring Street.
Aberdeen Company Moves to Chicago
The general olticcs of ihc .\tM-idccii I.iiiKl-er Ccmpany will be moved from
Pittsburgh, fa., to 1221 l.\inilM-r K.Nchange building, No. 11 South La Salle
street, Chicago, and open on .\pril 30. The move to Chicago will be made
because of the r:ipidly growing business of the company, which necessitates
the location of the general ollices In the most centrally situated distributing
point, and also a point nearer sources of supply.
The Aberdeen Lumber Company began operations in Pittsburgh in IDOV)
on a small scale, but due to its policy of selling only lumber manufactured
at llfi own contract mills and shipping nothing but clean, straight grades,
its business has steadily grown until today the company markets the
entire cut of five large band mills in Louisiana and Arkansas, with a
normal manufacturing capacity of 50,000,000 feet a year.
Correcting an Erroneous Statement
The Park Falls Lumlier Company, Park Falls, Wis., has called attention
to the incorrectness of a news item carried on page 57 of the April 10 issue
t>f H.\ui>wooD Record, which told of improvements undertaken by the Park
Falls company to cost a total of .$1, (►00.000. The correspondent who sent
in this statement was plainly very greatly misinformed and this means of
correcting his error is gladly used. The fact is that the Park Falls Lumber
Ciputpany has mei-ely built a small jdaning mill at Rice Lake and done some
remodeling on the mill already there.
Hardwood News Notes
CHICAGO
The Chicago K<'tail Luinbor Dealers' Association was held up to public
obloquy by the Dailey joint committee of the Illinois legislature on April
18. This committee, which is conducting an exhaustive investigation of
alleged graft in the building industry in Chicago, declared that the
retail dealers of the city through their profit splitting system are doing
much to keep up the price of building lumber. Chairman Dailey declared
that while testimony taken by his committee indicated that the practice
is legal and the plan does not violate the Federal anti-trust laws, '"it is at
least morally and economically wrong,"
Under the plan, as explained to the newspapers by Chairman Dailey,
each firm is allotted a percentage of the business done by members of the
association. If a member fails to do enough I)usiness to realize the profit
which his percentage awards him, he is given ihc <iifference by the others.
Those who profit beyond their stipulated shair must divide their excess
with their associates. One member explained that this is an insurance
guaranteeing the nlembers an equal share in the profits to be made in
Chicago, according to Senator Dailey's scornful statement.
The plan is known as the "Kelly" plan.
The investigator also castigated the lumber dealers* association for the
allegetl issuance of statements of lumbt'r costs to its memln-rs.
Chairman Dailey in concluding directed attention to the by-laws of the
organization, which warned members not to engage in any, illegal fixing
of prices, under penalty of severe punishment and fines. The senator
chose to regard this as a subterfuge by which to recommend the Kelly
plan. "It looks funny that they plan so strong on this particular feature
of the law." he said. "Why didn't they put in clauses warning them not
to commit larceny an<t robbery? That Ihcy are violating the law I do not
doubt."
BUFFALO
As organized at jiresent, there will he eight companies operating ou the
barge canal from Buffalo to New York on the opening date, April 30.
The entire list includes above 500 craft, running all the way from tugs
to cargo steamers of rather small capacity, then 3O0 to 000 ton barges,
and finishing with five barges that can carry 1,500 tons each. It is agreed
that this latter class of barge will before long cover routes Including all
of Lake Kric, and at the New York end proceeding as far as Hoston in
one direction and perhaijs still further in the other. The real test, how-
ever, is their capacity for making a profit. If this is demonstrated they
will multiply still farther in number and capacity before long. If there
is lumber, or othi-r building material to be carried, they can go into that
trade also.
The C. C. Siaght Lumber Company is moving its office from this city

will go up this year is not yet announced, but one fact can be clearly
demonstrated, — the city is short of hotel accommodations.

BOSTON
Exports from the port of Boston of hardwoods during the month of
February, statistics of which have just been made available, are, accord-
ing to the collector of the port : Oak boards, 2,000 feet, value $340, to

William E. Litchfield, head of the L. & H. Lumber Company, for many
years a prominent hardwood dealer here, thinks the present situation is not
encouraging, that before better trade can come securely we must have a
clearing of the credit situation. He thinks that those in need of hardwoods
should take advantage of present prices. His opinion is that a boom in
demand would very quickly bring a boom in prices. He says that legitimate
labor and other costs of producing hardwoods now are higher than they
were and that this must be figured on.
COLUMBUS
E. G. Dillow. who has been the head of the Franklin Lumber Companj\
of Columbus, since its organization about three years ago, has discon-
tinued that concern and has accepted the position as manager of the

there is a better feeling shown in all localities.
F. B. Pryor, sales manager of the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company,
reports a pretty fair run of orders with a disposition on the part of both
factories and dealers to buy more liberally. But orders are still restricted
to immediate needs. Prices are still irregular and there is a rather wide
spread.

The bulletin also states that there are at least 1,000,000 acres of cheap
land planted to forests. Forests do much toward removing devastating
Udods and -protecting headwaters and tempering the climate.
i\cw construction work in this city is at a standstill because of the
walkout of appro.ximately 6,000 members of the building trades here April
10. The entire difference is on the wage end of the contracts. The con-
tractors are d,emanding reductions from ten to twenty per cent and the
unions are demanding increases In every branch of the industry. Brick
masons and hod carriers have not quit because their contracts do not
expire until the first of May. Contractors here say they will never sign
unless the reduction is granted, and the labor leaders say they will consent
to nothing but an Increase, but in spite of this fact the general opinion
appears to be that the strike will be short lived.
EVANSVILLE
Building operations in Evansvillc are going right ahcail in spite of the
fact that the building trades unions have refused to accept a twenty per
cent reduction in wages, which the contractors announced on the first of
April. Contractors are "standing pat," and some of them have declared
for the open shop and are going right ahead with their plans of building.
Work was halted for a few days on the Victory Theater and the Hotel
McCurdy at the corner of Main and Sixth streets, the largest piece of
construction work that is now going on in Evansville, and the contractors
■who have this job announced the open shop policy and asked all former
employes to return to work at a reduction in wages.
Charles A. Wolflin, head of the Wolflin West Side Lumber Company, has
returned from a business trip to Chicago.
John Edward Moerner, 66 years old, who for many years operated a
sawmill and bent wood plant at Shelbyville, Ind., died at his home in that
city on Friday, April 15, after a short illness. He was well known to the
lumber trade in central and southern Indiana and is survived by his wife
and one son.
The next regular monthly meeting of the Evansville Lumbermen's Club
will be held on Tuesday evening, May 10, at the New Vendome Hotel, and
a good attendance is looked for by J. C. Greer, the president. It is
expected that the date of the summer outing of the club will be definitely
fixed at this time. The date will be either Tuesday, June 14, or Tuesday,
June 21, and the place of the outing has been decided as Exposition Park,
formerly Cook's Park In this city. The outing is being arranged by the
entertainment committee of the club, which is composed of Gus A. Bauman
of the Maley & Wertz Lumber Company, Joe Waltman of the Evansville
Band Mill Company and Claude Wertz of the Maley & Wertz Lumber
Company.
Victor F. Sturm has been appointed general manager of the Jasper
Novelty Works at Jasper, Ind., to take the place of his father, Joseph M.
Sturm, who has held the position since the company was organized a good
many years ago. The new manager tor fifteen years was bookkeeper and
assistant manager of the company. The company operates one of the
largest woodworking plants in Jasper.
E. R. Kuhn, paying teller at the Mercantile-Commercial bank here, will
leave in a few days tor Brattleboro, Vt., to accept a position with the
R. W. Denton Lumber Company, a new concern which has acquired a
large tract of timberland in the New England states. Mr. Kuhn is a
graduate of the state forestry school at Syracuse, N. Y. He will begin
his new duties as assistant foreman of the company.
Daniel Wertz of the Maley & Wertz Lumber Company and Oscar A.
Klamer. head of four furniture manufacturing companies here, have
returned from French Lick, Ind., where they spent several days.
The Kendallvlile Lumber Company at Kendallville. Ind., has been organ-
ized by capitalists from Sturgls, Mich., and has purchased a site and will
erect a modern lumber yard this summer.
William H. McCurdy, president of the Hercules Buggy Company of this
city, says that trade conditions are growing better, and in his opinion the
worst of the depression has been passed and that things will get better
gradually from this time on. Most of the plants of the Hercules Com-
pany are still being operated on part time.
CLEVELAND
Hardwood interests along with every other branch of the building
material industry here will have an important part in the building ex-
position which will mark the opening of the public hall next fall. This
wag decided this week at a meeting of building industry and civic asso-
ciations at the Builders Exchange. A company will be incorporated, not
for profit, which will direct the exposition. If there are any profits
they will lie turned back to the exhibitors. The show, which will exceed
In magnitude and scope that of 1916 held here, will be operated primarily
to interest the people in building their houses and owning their homes.
Hardwood distributors are preparing for whatever development comes
with the arrival of May 1, when, from present Indications, a general
strike of building trades operatives will follow the decision this week
of the Building Trades Employers Association to cut wages an average
of 20 per cent. This decision follows the action of the Carpenter Con-
tractors Association In reducing carpenters wages from $1.25 to 90
cents, when the latter abrogated their agreement in permitting a strike
of carpenters on a theatre job, in itself a jurisdictional dispute.
Hardwood and other lumber interests are expected to join the local
association of the American Plan Association, national body favoring
the open shop. They would join as Individuals rather than as a group,
because most members of this branch of the building material industry
here already are members of the Material Dealers .Association, organized
several years ago to promote the open shop principle, and of course do
not care to pay into two associations serving the same end.
MEMPHIS
James E. Stark & Company, Inc., who started up their band mill at
Dyersburg, Tenn., some days ago, have this week placed their Memphis
mill and veneer plant in operation. This firm has approximately 5,000,000
feet of logs to be converted into lumber, partly timber brought out some
time ago and partly timber that must be removed during the current year.
It announces, however, that conversion of these logs into lumber will mark
the limit of Its operations during 1921.
The .Vllen-Eaton Panel Company has resumed operations for the second
time within the past six or seven months. It is engaged In the manu-
facture of panel stock and built up veneers.
The Green River Lumber Company and the McLean Hardwood Lumber
Company have not only closed down their band mills in Memphis, but they
have also nailed them up, thus indicating that they have suspended opera-
tions for an indefinite period.
Russe & Burgess, Inc., will complete cutting their log holdings within
the next week or ten days, and they announce that they will tuen suspend
operations indefinitely. This firm, according to G. A. Farber, is not mak-
ing the slightest preparations for getting out fresh timber.
May Brothers, it Is understood, will complete sawing of logs on hand
within the next thirty days and then they will join the ranks of idle
manufacturers.
The Memphis Band Mill Company is another firm which will suspenil
in the near future. It has been forced to operate during the past few
months because of timber contracts.
The Carrier Lumber & Manufacturing Company, Sardis, Miss., has only
about 1,000,000 feet of logs to convert Into lumber, according to M. B.
Cooper, assistant to the president, R. M. Carrier. This firm has been put
temporarily out of commission by high water in nearby streams and.
although it will resume as soon as possible, it has reached no decision
regarding its plans after present log supply has been cared for.
Max Miller, Mariana, .\rk., who was in Memphis this week, says that
his firm is operating at capacity, but that this is the result of a decision
made last .August and not of present conditions in the hardwood market.
C. A. Price, manager of the Memphis plant of the American Car &
Foundry Company, announces that this will be closed down in the next
three or four weeks, throwing about 700 men out of employment. He
attributes this to lack of orders from the railroads for repair and construc-
tion work. He believes that there will be a change in the atttitude of the
railroads, however, and predicts resumption of operation in the late sum-
mer or early fall.
W. H. Russe of Russe & Burgess. Inc., will sail from Liverpool within
the next few days for home. He will arrive in Memphis around May 1.
He has been abroad for some time investigating lumber conilitions at first
hand. There is nothing to indicate that he has turned up any considerable
quantity of business, but his position Is somewhat like that of the man
who returned from a market In which he had offered his produce who
said : "I didn't get what I expected, but then I didn't expect to."
LOUISVILLE
There has been little discussed in the local hardwood circles the past
few days other than the granting of the milling in transit privilege to
Louisville, and what It will mean to Louisville as a lumber market. It
is believed that with this arrangement Louisville will stage a big come
back, and get back Into the list of the largest markets, such as she was
a few years ago, before discrimination in the milling in transit matters
caused the jobbing end to wane.
The Louisville Point Lumber Co., has recently filed suit for $7,108.16
against J. F. Thompson, E. W. Parks and Henry N. Hedden, doing business
as Thomnson & Parks, Trimble. Tenn., alleging overcharges beyond market
prices on logs purchased in 1920, the petition stating that the company
employed Hedden to buy logs for it, and that the defendant purchased

logs from his own concern for it. without disclosing his bidden connection
to his Louisville employers.
J. S. Thompson, manuger of the Louisville division, .Southern Hardwood
Traffic Association, claims tlmt movement of low grade lumber is prac-
tically at a standstill due to high freight rates, and that lumber manu-
facturers arc allowing low grade saw logs to decay in the woods rather
than haul and saw them for prices such as can be obtained for the milied
lumber.
W. H. Day, of the Wood Mosaic Company, back from an Eastern trip,
reports much improvement in the East, with buyers far more willing to
place orders, and conditions generally looking better.
Reductions in rates figuring three to live cents a hundred pounds have
been secured on lumber moving from the Cumberland & Manchester K. R.
stations, to Louisville, from Eastern Kentucliy, this reduction being
secured through the Louisville division of the Southern Hardwood Traffic
Association, which also reports two new members, these being Hoffman
Brothers Company, hardwoods and veneers, Burnside, Ky., and the Long-
Knight Lund^er Co., hardwoods and veneers, at Indianapolis.
Preston P. Joyes, of W. I'. Brown & Sons Lumber Company, claims that
if prices were Just better conditions would be satisfactory, but that there
is still too much cheap lumber in the marltet. which is causing prices to
remain lower than they should be under existing conditions.
WHEELING
. It is reported that Huntington, W. Va.. luinlu'rmou will make a strong
effort to have their city selected as the scene of the fall meeting of the
Appalachian Logging Congress at the spring meeting in Cincinnati April

pany, will be one of the leading Huntington boosters at the spring con-
gress. The 191S spring meeting of the loggers was held in Huntington
and more than 200 lumbermen from Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky
and West Virginia attended.
D. W. Walker and R. B. Davidson, who has been engaged in the lumber
business in New York City for a number of years, recently visited Parkers-
burg, W. Va., and vicinity with a view to establishing a sawmill near
the headwaters of the Little Kanawha and an office in Parkersburg. He
paid a visit to the headwaters of the river and inspected a timber tract
fur which they have been negotiating.
The establishment and maintenance of a state forestry nursery and a

NEW ORLEANS
With the beginning of actual construction of the Southern Hardwood
Lumber Company's plant just out of the city comes an announcement by
R. M. I'arker. president of the Brooklyn Cooperage Company of New York.
the cooperage subsidiary of the American Sugar Refining Company, tliat
the company has Just closed a deal for 1.400 acres of the best of hard-
wood timber situated in St. Landry parish and that it will in the near

The Schnorr Box Company, Manitowoc, is planing to rebuild that por-
tion of its factory and engine room which was badly damaged by lire on
.April 12, causing a loss estimated at between $25,000 and $30,000. Four-
teen machines will require replacement. The company erected an addition,

The Peterson Boat Works at Sturgeon Bay have liecn purchased by
Elmer Anderson, who has been assistant to Mr. Peterson for many years.
The business will be continued under the title of Anderson Boat Works,
manufacturing rowboats as well as power vessels, and specializing in hull
and equipment repairs and replacements.
The American Tool Chest Company, Milwaukee, sustaine<l an estimated
loss of $35,000 by lire, which gutted its factory at Fifty-fourth street and
Lisbon avenue on April 10, at the height of a raging blizzard, which was
the worst of the year. It is likely that the plant will be rebuilt and
re-equipped at once, according to John II. Ehlert, 799 Forty-second street.
The Penokee Lumber Company of Mellen has amended its corporate
articles for the purpose of changing the location of its headquarters from
.Mellen to Ashland, Wis.
The Wachsmuth Lumber Company, Bayfield, one of the leading opera-
tors In the Chequamegon Bay region, resumed the operation of its sawmill
on April 14. on a full ten-hour a day schedule, with a full crew of men.
The planing mill, excelsior plant and shingle mill were placed in operation
at the same time with capacity crews. Business has revived to the extent
that full capacity production will be carried forward for at least live
months.
A. O. Myrhe, formerly of Stillwater, Minn., who recently purchased the
property of the Brown Safety Ladder Company at River Falls, Wis., has
completed the installation of additional equipment and is now conducting
the plant as a producer of sash, doors, millwork, etc. Mr. Myrhe is
organizing the business as the Pioneer Manufacturing Company. His son,
Alfred Myrhe. will be associated with him as business manager.
The Wisconsin Legislature has recorded its approval of the movement
for reforestation in this state by adopting with practically no dissenting
voice the so-called Titus resolution which provides for a referendum upon
a proposed constitutional amendment enabling the commonwealth to incur
indebtedness in rebuilding its timber resources. It will lie necessary for
the resolution to be approved by the next biennial session of the Legisla-
ture in 1923 and then be submitted to the electors before it can take effect
as a constitutional amendment.
Building operations in Milwaukee so far this year show a considerable
gain over the corresponding period of 1920. From January 1 to April 15,
1921, there were Issued 6.624 permits, with a total value of $5,102,317,
while in the same period of 1920 the number of permits was 5. 835 and
the total value $4,975,855.
R. W. Clark of Washington, representing the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission, held a hearing at Marinette, Wis., on April 16 on the application
of the Wisconsin & Northern Railroad Company for permission to abandon
that part of its line running from Taylor Rapids to Girard Junction, in
Marinette county. W. L. Ballenbeck. superintendent of the railroad com-
pany, testified concerning the unprofitable operation of the division. Set-
tlers and other property owners along the division opposed the abandon-
ment of the line. Loggers and lumbermen have an interest in the matter
because the division passes through a country that still contains much
timber.
The Hardwood Market
CHICAGO
The Chicago hardwood market continues to "reward fighters" when they
fight hard enough. Business is hard to get, but nevertheless considerable
business Is being done. Where one manufacturer or wholesaler is found
who has done "no business" several will be discovered who are disposing
of a number of cars each week and feel that demand will continue to
improve. The increased activity in the automobile industry gives hope
of an early resumption of buying from this quarter, though the revival

has uot yi't progrcssod far oiiDugU to I'xhaust tlie surplus stocks o£ the
automobile body and other parts nianufaeturers. All lines continue t"
buy small quantities of hardwood lumber, establishing a fair average
demand. One feature of tlie marliet is tlie relatively heavy buying nf
harihvoods by retail yards. This is said to be occasioned by the tad
that many wood using nnuuU'acturers are buying small lots of 5.000 fei't
or more from retailers to patch out their needs until tlie lumber marki'l
grows more stable and the demand for their finished product improves.
They appear just now to be too cautious to put much money into lumber
The failure of a great many of the sellers to fix a price and stick to it is
greatly disorganizing the market. It destroys the confidence of the buyers,
makes them afraid to buy and at the same time forces prices down to
ruinous levels. The buyers are just as anxious as the lumbermen to see
the market put upon a firm and logical basis. They will then feel safe
lu going ahead with their deferred purchases.
BUFFALO
The hardwood business has not picked up much during the past few
weeks and buyers are taking only small quantities in most cases. Indus-
trial plants are busier in a few cases than they were a month ago, but
generally they are not running near full time. Ordinarily the spring
season is a pretty active one in the hardwood business, but as time passes
without any particular Increase in trade, the wholesalers are inclined to
feel that it will be fall before trade becomes really active.
Prices continue depressed, owing to the competition prevailing from all
sides. Sellers are desirous of turning over their stocks, even though little
or no profit is shown in the transaction. The receipts of hunber at local
yards are small, as assortments are as a rule fairly good. Until business
Is on a more substantial basis uncertainty of prices is expected.
Building has been on a more satisfactory basis this month, the nuuilor
of permits greatly exceeding those of preceding months.
PITTSBURGH
Two things are seriously holding back the hardwood business. One
Is the lack of building. For this trouble there seems to be no remedy
in sight for several months as wage scales do not expire until June 1
and so far the labor unions are fighting any reduction of wages. The
other is the lack of railroad buying. Until the railroads get their wage
matters adjusted more to their liking there will be very little money spent
by them and this is seriously crippling the hardwood business. Also,
manufacturing concerns which use large quantities of hardwood in their
products are going very slow, for so many of these plants are down or
are working at only part capacity that every bit of money spent is
watched very carefully. The mining business is extremely dull. Al-
together, it does not look as if hardwood buying would be resumed on
any large scale this spring and wholesalers are proceeding with great care
in making contracts and purchases. Prices arc just about holding
their own.
BOSTON
The hardwoods trade here is very much encouraged with the way both
inquiry and demand have Improved the past fortnight. This is not to be
taken to mean that business is in any way rushing. The fact is that
trade in hardwoods here is below normal. It is not what it ought to be
in an average April. But things have been so bad that a really noticeable
spurt in trade has started.
This is all the more to be marveled at in view ^>f the fact that tlie
building trades strike, that began here on Jan. 19 and has tied up all con-
struction work in this city and vicinity, is still in progress, with no bright
outlook for settlement. The improvement in demand and inquiry is taken
as indicative of an improvement in basic conditions quite outside of the
building industry. It is in better grades of stock that Improvement is
being most felt. The common grades are still rather slow of sale and
accumulation is principally in them. Also it is lu the common grades
that the tone and prices show whatever weakness there may be to the
market. For the fact is that the firsts and seconds are fairly firm now
and are getting firmer each day.
BALTIMORE
Conditions in the hardwood trade are not materially different from
those that have obtained for some time past. More or less pressure is
exerted upon the market, with the result that despite the comparatively
small stocks available there has been no recovery in values, though it is
to be said that the downward trend appears to have been stopped, with
perhaps some stiffening in certain divisions of the trade. The rebound,
however, has not so far attained consequential proportions, and a holding
back on the part of buyers with orders except those that must be placeil
to take care of the more immediate requirements, is still in evidence.
The yards here are far from overstocked, and probably all of them
could take up much lumber without approaching a state of congestion,
are not particular about buying any logs at this time. The logging camps
in the southern south are not getting out any logs to speak of, and it is

COLUMBUS
There is a gradual iinproveinent lu the tone of the hardwood trade in
I'olninbus and Central Ohio. Inquiries are coming in better, many of
which are showing more life. In other words, there are not so many
iucjuiries to get market information and a larger proportion preliminary
to placing orders. While the volume of business has not expanded to any
yieat extent, there are indications for a better trade in the near future-
.V canvass of the situation shows that retail stocks are generally low
in all sections. This is particularly true of the rural sections. Gity
dealers have not large stocks and in most cases they are badly broken^
Ketailers arc buying only what they need tor the present but these needs
are expected to be increased when the building season gets under full
headway.
Factories are also showing an inclination to enter the market. This^
is especially true of automobile concerns which are buying some. Furni-
ture factories are also placing small orders and the same is true of vehicle
and implement concerns. Piano factories are still holding off. Box con-
(■(a-ns are fair purchasers of low grade oak, basswood and poplar.
Prices are still irregular all along the line and there is still a wide range.
Some cheap prices are still heard of and this has the effect of weakening
the price list. Shipments are coming out promptly from all sections.
Collections have Improved to a certain extent.
CINCINNATI
The "Buyers' Strike" in the hardwood market here is at an end. This
is evident from the fact that many buyers who were holding out for lower
prices have come into the market during the past two weeks and placed
considerable business. Candidly speaking the trade has taTien on a
brighter aspect, much to the satisfaction of the manufacturers and dealers
alike. Oak flooring is showing better than any of the other stocks. This
probably is due to the increased activity in the building of dwelling and
apartment houses. Wood consuming factories are more conspicuous in
the market than for some time, although many of them are still using
lumlKT for which they paid high prices. Retailers also are showing some
activity, but some of them are still holding out, despite the fact that they
need certain stocks badly.
SOUTH BEND
The only change noticeable in the hardwood market is that business is
being offered freely by buyers at their own prices. But the market seems
to be firm and no lumber being offered at ridiculously low prices.
Buying seems to be for immediate requirements and the purchaser to be
in a great rush for what stock he buys, requesting wire car numbers, etc.,
which is an indication his stocks are very low. Box manufacturers and
furniture plants are running moderately.
It seems to be the opinion of the hardwood lumbermen of South Bend
that the hardwood business will pick up only when the automobile manu-
facturers resume something like normal buying activity which doesn't
seem to be far distant.
Recent sales delivered this rate as follows:
Plain oak ; 4/4 FAS $95 ; No. 1 Com. $48 : No. 2 Com. $34. Plain red

INDIANAPOLIS
Demand for hardwoods continues active, though most of the activity
is coming from the retail trade. Business with the industries still is very
slow and only occasional cases are to be seen where a factory is able to
increase its production to any great extent. The furniture factories are
increasing their production a very little, while the box manufacturers
report times yet mighty dull. Prices appear to be fairly strong in spite
of the industrial condition. The good demand from the retail trade has
served to maintain prices and even give some of the higher grades some
indication of increases.
EVANSVILLE
There has been some improvement in the trade with the hardwood lum-
iier manufacturers of" southern Indiana, southern Illinois and western
and northern Kentucky during the past two weeks, although the improve-
ment has not been marked. "We know that business is getting better."
said Daniel Wcrtz of the Maley & Wertz Lumber Company, "but we could
not prove it it wc had to." Manufacturers say that the number of
inquiries are increasing from time to time and they believe that these
inquiries will lead to new business a little later on. But the actual
increase in business during the past two or three weeks has been small.
Pew of the mills in this section are being operated at this time; in fact
most of the plants have been closed down for the past four or five months.
Practically no logs are coming into this market and the manufacturers

CLEVELAND
Somewhat steadier position for hardwoods in this nuirket is ntited in
the last fortnight, following the spurt to building through April. This
spurt is largely due to the anxiety of contractors and builders to make
as nearly complete the jobs they have on hand before a general strike
in the building trades takes place. While there is no hint from the
organized labor faction as to just what will be done with the decision
of building trades employers over the hitter's proposal to reduce wages,
it is not denied that there is good chance of a long drawn out tight, with
the possibility of a walkout by labor. Hence the building fraternity is
taking no chances. Hence, likewise the handlers of hardwoods are com-
ing into their own again, even if only temporarily. At best the outlet
for hardwoods for interior finish and building purposes is still below
the season. There is more than enough material to, meet all comers and
a good deal more new business as well. The better intluence has been
sutEclent, however, to steady the market, and while there is no change
in the official schedule, there likewise is less disposition on the part of
holders to cut prices, which was somewhat in evidence some weeks back.
Efforts to interest the manufacturing trades in taking additioual quan-
tities of material at this time have not been entirely unsuccessful, but
the outlet in this direction still is quite limited, as the automobile trade
and furniture producers apparently have plenty of material with which
to turn out new production, while the demand for either of these items
is small for the time of the year.
MEMPHIS
Inquiry among prominent manufacturers of southern hardwoods in Mem-
phis and the Memphis territory develops the information that not more
than 10 per cent of the total stock of hardwood lumber represents firsts
and seconds. Some estimates range as low as 5 per cent. None goes over
10 per cent, and it is the consensus of opinion among those with whom
the correspondent of Hardwood Recohd has talked that the average is
around 8 to 9 per cent. It has been noted for some time that a relative
shortage of the higher grades existed, but it is quite apparent from the
foregoing that there is also an intrinsic shortage of this class of material.
Furthermore, it may be noted, in the same connection that current pro-
duction is engaged largely on logs more or less damaged by insects and
exposure,- and that the percentage of output of firsts and seconds there-
from is extremely light. Very few manufacturers are working on fresh
logs, and their total cut, to say nothing of the upper grades, is relatively
small.
As a result of the knowledge that holdings of firsts and seconds are
extremely small, in proportion to the total, it may be stated that there is
material stiffening of prices thereon. Some manufacturers are putting
prices on their lumber which they know will prevent it from moving, but
they are taking this course for the reason that they do not care to sacri-
fice their stock. It is impossible to purchase any high grade lumber at
prices current even three weeks ago, and, in some instances, the present
level of prices is substantially above the low established late in February
and early in March. Inquiry for the better grades is Increasing, as it
becomes apparent that offerings are small, and members of the trade are
inclined to anticipate a further appreciation in values. Perhaps the
greatest shortage at the moment is in plain red and white oak and plain
and quarter sawn red gum. Some manufacturers have practically noth-
ing to offer In these grades and the majority have comparatively little.
OITerings of No. 1 common plain oak and the same grade of plain and
quarter .sawn red gum, also, are considerably smaller than heretofore.
Manufacturers of furniture and fiooring have recently taken considerable
quantities of these grades, and prices thereon are somewhat better. Floor-
ing manufacturers, too, are using much No. 2 common oak, and there is a
fair miscellaneous Inquiry for Nos. 2 and 3 common lumber generally.
Altogether, the tone of the market is appreciably better and the level of
prices is quite well above the more recent average.
LOUISVILLE
Business with the Louisville hardwood trade is better, there being
more orders, but much business is still being accepted at what is declared
by some hardwood operators as "give away prices." Inquiries are better
and buying larger, but prices are still too low. The demand is largely
for firsts and seconds, but as firsts and seconds are almost cleaned out,
such inquiries are not considered as business. It is being pointed out
that many concerns sacrificed their good lumber on low prices, and
haven't been able to supply on a better market value, whereas demand
for their low grades is dull. There is plenty of No. 1 common and under
grades on the market. Oak is more active although No. 1 common plain
oak is offered as low as $40 ; with Is and 2s quotetl at around $90.
Quartered oak Is and 2s are now quoted at around $150, and sales are
a question of having the material to deliver. Gum is fine in Is and 2s.
plain red being quoted at $80 ; and quartered at $100. Furniture manu-
facturers are taking advantage of the present low market, appear to have
confidence in prices, and are buying more freely. They realize that there
Is very little chance of prices being any lower, whereas thev mav go

are buying oak freely. Unconfirmed rumors state the Buick Auto v-O.

<:irculated. The furniture business is still weak. Railroads are not as

NEW ORLEANS
I'lio Iiardwond iudusir.v uf the Mississippi-Louisiana-Texas terriiory at
|n-('spiit is in a rather hard plight, but, convinced that tbe bottom has been
rcjKlied and that any further change must be for their betterment, manu-
facturers of the tri-state territory do not appear at all pessimistic.
So low are the prices being offered, in most cases, that the manufac-
turers claim they are operating without any profit and some even declare
they are being forced for some special reason to operate at an actual loss;
such reasons being to hold their crews together, to raise money for the
payment of their income taxes and for other emergency purposes and to
dispose of logs already cut to prevent their deterioration.
But as a natural consequence of the low prices and the subnormal
ilt'inand, many of the plants in the tri-state territory have been forced
to close down altogether and many others to reduce their output. Accord-
ing to delegates from the three states in the city a few days ago for the
meeting of the Southwestern Hardwood Manufacturers' Club, probably
not more than about eighty per cent of the mills throughout the terri-
tory are actually running. Even the output of these, it transpired, is
considerably below normal, thus making the amount of hardwood lumber
iiKiuufactured throughout this section almost nil just at present.
BEAUMONT
While there has been no material change in price, hardwood men con-
sider conditions gradually improving. This consolation is taken from the
fact that there have been no changes in prices during the past week and
the stiffening of first and second grades. These items are becoming rather
scarce, and it is expected that this circumstance will have a tendency
to bolster up the lower grades.
Railroad buying is slow about opening up and the recent cut in ceastal
crude oil from $1.20 to $1 a barrel will undoubtedly stop further devel-
opment in the districts affected.
Due to high water, practically all hardwood mills in this section are
down and could not produce no matter what the inducements. During the
first two weeks in April 9 inches of rain fell in the Beaumont territory,
and this was sufficient to reduce the hardwood districts to a veritable sea.
It will take some time for the woods to dry up to a point where teams
can be used in getting out logs.
MILWAUKEE
There is a wide divergence of opinion among hardwood operators in
Northern Wisconsin concerning the present and future of business. Some
are expressing themselves as very much pleased over the improvement in
demand during the last few weeks, while others apparently have much
cause for complaint over the absence of anything substantial in the
demand. One thing that operators seem to be agreed on is that prices
obtained for hardwood products, as well as all lumber, are too low to be
profitable : in fact, sales that are being made generally show an unprofit-
able state of affairs. Buyers hold out for concessions that usually are so
unreasonable that it is impossible for sellers to meet them.
Demand for hardwoods of all classes continues to be of a hand-to-mouth
order, especially insofar as the call from industries manufacturing panels,
veneers, furniture, cabinets, etc., is concerned. All of these interests are
playing a cautious game in respect to filling requirements, despite the
fact that stabilization of prices is believed to have come, since list prices
as currently established generally allow practically no margin of profit
and are merely enough to enable operations to be carried forward.
Hardwood lumber manufacturers as well as wholesalers are still loaded
up with medium and low grade stuff, due to the keen discrimination
shown in favor of the choicest qualities by buyers in the last two years.
The best grades are very scarce as a result, while other qualities are in
heavy supply. However, because of this situation, and as a matter of
price, a better demand seems to be developing daily in respect to medium
and low grade hardwoods.
The dwelling construction movement is making progress, but with no
degree of freedom. Complaint is heard that the movement is checked by
the attitude of financiers on whom lumbermen and builders depend tor
operating capital. Interest rates remain high and have not receded
appreciably from the war-time rates.

WHEN THE ABILITY TO
SERVE COUNTS MOST
When things are spotty; when your factory is
filled up for a couple of weeks and then is prac-
tically empty; when even though you kfiow
lumber is a good buy, you are afraid to stock up
and instead place rush orders for just what you
need — then is when a time-tried lumber organiza-
tion with a steadfast record for service and de-
pendability, is a real asset. Our many years ex-
perience; our diversified and modern manufac-
turing facilities and the varied assortment of
southern hardwoods, rotary veneers and plywood,
are as well adapted to give satisfaction in filling
today's hurried needs as in supplying big con-
tracts in more normal times.
Regardless of your position, this organization
merits your investigation.

Easiest Handling
buy the
Hoosier Self Feed Rip Saw. This machine has earned thousands
of dollars for owners in the manufacture of dimension lumber, crating,
etc., because its entirely novel design, resulting in surprising ease of
operation and adaptability, makes possible a profit where a Ion* '-
often expected in this work. The
Hoosier Self-Feed Rip Saw
has a positive and powerful feed which handles the heaviest material
as readily as the lightest.
The table, raised and lowered with the crank in front of the ma-
chine, is always level — always securely locked.
The Hoosier rips anything up to 6 inches thick and 17 inches wide.
It feeds 35, 75, 100 or 150 feet a minute.

EMPHIS is visited by more do-
mestic and foreign buyers than
any other lumber center in the
country. Why? The alluvial
delta of the Mississippi river is famous as
the richest land in the world. The best
hardwoods grow on the best soil. The sale
of all this hardwood, the finest in the coun-
try, centers in or through Memphis. All
Southern species of satisfactory quality and
variety are available. Oak, gum, ash,
hickory, cottonwood, cypress, willow, tupelo,
red cedar. Memphis is the department
store of the hardwood industry — first in
quality, first in service. Let her serve you.

Review and Outlook
General Market Conditions
IT IS POSSIBLE TO REPORT a slightly advauced state of busi-
ness for this i.ssue with more confidence in its lasting character
and further expansion than for a number of months past. Even the
pessimist is willing to express a word of cheer, whether reluctantly
or otherwise. The upgrade trail is defining itself rather ponder-
ously, it is true, but with growing certainty as to direction.
There are still many things to be done before a normal atmosphere
is again attained. Apparently the first phase of the business rehabili-
tation, namely, liquidation, has about been concluded. There remains
now the task of readjusting values and cost, which activity will em-
brace the readjustment of labor as well as other items in production.
The results accomplished to date, especially with respect to a new
basis of labor charge, are probably more pronounced than was an-
ticipated, though such efforts have caused varying reactions. Off-
setting determined resistance to wage reduction in some quarters
there are many examples of graceful yieldings and in other cases
voluntary downward reduction of scale, but in the aggregate the
average is unquestionably at a lower level than some time ago.
The Chicago situation is one of the most serious, conflicting re-
solve having caused a complete lockout in the building industry.
The reports are inconsistent as to the tendency of the fight, but in
the meantime public opinion seems to be clearly behind employers,
as building construction has not met with any popular approval
under the costs now prevailing. However, it is safe to assert that
the tremendous propaganda for building and the extreme shortage
of housing facilities has had a great deal of influence and that
building activity is at least far above the stagnant position that it
was feared it would reach.
It is also a safe statement to make that especially in the hard-
wood lumber business some more tangible improvement has been
noted during the past two or three weeks. Travelers have been
more successful not only as to orders, but in many cases as to prices.
The relation of these two factors though is one which should be
clearly before business men as price is essentially the product of
supply and demand. Supply has been so strongly tending to excess
and demand has been so negligible that price levels reached a point
not commensurate with ordinary governing balances. Therefore a
great deal of slack must be taken up before increasing sales will
have a direct reflection in current markets. In fact, it will take a
good deal of business to even bring about a tangible steadying in
quotations without regard to desirability of upward tendency.
Hardwood Record believes that sufficient improvement has material-
ized to have caused a more steady market and it appears that
shrewd buyers are fully convinced that the bottom has been reached
and are taking on what stocks they are able to with the conviction
their investment is well made.
General surveys of the entire lumber industry clearly show that
during the past month or two sales and orders have over-topped
production by a substantial margin. In fact, this same analysis
indicates that orders and shipments are from fifty to seventy per
cent of normal with production far below that figure. Confining
such investigation to the hardwood business will probably show a
smaller volume of orders and shipments than this general average,
but a far less volume of production as compared to the normal cut,
and this production feature is receding further with each week.
Shut-down orders everywhere prevail with the almost total certainty
that there will not be sufficient general improvement before present
log supplies are cleaned up to induce many mills to change this
policy.
The most pronounced feature in hardwood buying circles is the
growing evidence of diminishing supplies of upper grades. Mills are
in many cases refusing to sell straight FAS, requiring that such
orders be sold as No. 1 common and better, a course which is
forced by the almost total absence of the highest grade and a grad-
ual diminution in the common. The result of this apparent shortage
has been a gradual strengthening in prices over the past few weeks
with here and there orders placed at slight advances, in some cases
up to ten dollars over the low figure.
While one must concede that the whole fabric of business can not
be repaired and strengthened until certain big underlying influences
are cleared up, there is not the slightest doubt that a somewhat
better condition is prevailing and that the coming months will show
gradual emergence from the depths in which it has been existing for
so long. The readjustment phase will have to take care of such
outstanding factors as wages in industry and in the railroads, of
foreign credits, of basically sound and fair level of commodity prices.
The wise prognosticators do not promise a clean-cut improvement
until the late summer or fall months, predicating their predictions
upon the fact that there remain only a few large obstacles to over-
come and that these are gradually being worn away with the prob-
ability that they may be eradicated within the next two or three
weeks. These obstacles are tremendous in their respective influences.

l)iit conversely as thov arc reuiovcil one by one, the resulting benefit
will lie proportionati'ly great, for instance, labor cost is today the
one hig item in tlie liuililing industry which is seriously hampering
the building program. There are nullions of dollars of work pent up
in anticipation of a more reasonable basis of labor charge. A large
volume of this business will be released when a fair settlement in
labor troubles is brought about. We have a similar example in rail-
road circles as operating costs, due in a very large measure to ex-
(irliilant labor charge, prohibit necessary purchases of supplies.
With these factors ad.justed the railroads will he in a ]iosition where
they can make necessary [lurchases.
The encouraging feature is that tlie.se problems are being seriously
and strenuously attacked with fair and reasonable liope for their
early solution, and as each such obstruction is removed it will cun
tribute its large share toward rehabilitation.
Hasing its opinion strictly upon observation of onU'rs, Hanlwood
Record feels secure in predicting fairly consistent improvement,
marked there and there by lapses of less and less seriousness, and it
also feels confident that its advice to buy lumber today is sound.
There can l)e ncd the slightest doubt of lumber having reached its
bottom tignre and those who buy a few months hence will unques
tionably buy at a higln'r price. Maybe not in all items, but on the
.-iverage.
factor of taxes and the present substantially higher transportation
charges. All of these items arc necessarily added to the basic cost of
the material.
While it is true that selling prices are in some cases higher than
they were in jtrc-war times, although other items are selling for even
less than at that time, costs have gone up proportionately greater
and the resulting comparison as cited above is typical of the wlml.-
industry.
Hardwood Kicord wishes to especially call this statement to the
.ittention of shrewd buyers who can readily read from such facts,
and from the general slmtting down policy and growing scarcity of
stocks, that an upward rather than a further downward movement
in prices is the only logical outcome. If there was ever a time when
Hardwood Record seriously cautioned buyers to "buy now,'' that
time is the present.
Labor Costs and Selling Prices
FOR SOME TIME I'.VST HardvvcKid Rcc-nrd lias bi'cn compiling an
analysis of production costs as a basis of comparison with cur
rent market values on hardwoods for the purpose of illustrating its
contention that hardwood lumber is today a good buy. It is there-
fore an especial pleasure to publish in this issue such an analysis
covering lower Michigan operations based on official figures com-
piled by the Michigan llardw'ond Manufacturers' Association operat
ing precisely on the lines followed by Hardwood Record. Based on
cost records taken from the books or a large percentage of lower
Michigan production, and taking as a basis of selling prices actual
figures received for typical sales, this luialysis shows a tangible
loss of $7.15 per thousand feet on Michigan hardwoods as of May 1.
Those who are prone to belittle statements that lumber is being
sold at less than cost, and that it is still above pre-war prices, are
evidently forgetful of the substantially higher level of wages and
generally lessened efficiency even in spite of present unemployment.
The human machine is just like any other machine — when it gets
running out of true it takes a complete overhauling and consider-
able readjustment before it gets back to the old smooth basis. So
ivith labor. The habit of soldiering brought on by the war and its
::ttendant conditions has not yet been overcome. It is gradually
being eradicated, but the return of complete efficiency is of neces-
sity gradual. Therefore labor's share in current costs as compared
to ]irovious costs is higher. Then, too, there is the ever-iuercasiug
Famine and Deforestation
AMU.ST AKKKSTI.XC AM) PKHSLASIVE argument for the
conservation of America "s forest resources was presented by
the V. S. Department of Agriculture in a bulletin issued May 1.
This bulletin discussed the famine in China, which in the past year
has ap[ialled all in this country who have read of the millions of
Mongolians who are dying under the most pitiful and horrifying
circumstances because of it. This colossal disaster and similar floods
and famines that have frequently beset the (Miini\se are attributed
to deforestation of vast areas of the lands inhabited by this
unhappy people.
This disclosure is calculated to stimulate thought. It is time
to think when we consider that somewhat similar conditions might
some day develop in our own land. Of course, no one supposes
fliat we in America are going to be as near-sighted as the Chinese,
who invented gunpowder and printing and set up a glorious cul-
ture, while the western peoples were still running through the
woods in bear skins, and then rested on their laurels. But it is
possiljle that if we should refuse to take reforestation and con-
servation seriously, large sections of our country might eventually
become much less desirable for habitation than at the present day.
From this point we should reflect that the pojuilation of the
United States is growing at such a rapid gait that it is the greatest
blindness to neglect anything essential to the preservation of the
habitabilit.y of all our lands. We shall need more and more
habitable land every day .-inil must not only allow none to deterio-
r.-ite, but should reclaim waste land wherever practicable ,ind'
increase the fertility of all present arable areas.
In all this the preservation of our forest resources Jilays an
indispensable part, and one that can not be neglected.
The need for this is important, aside from the relative merits or
denu'rits of the Capper and Snell bills.

Appalachian Loggers Hold Congress
Freight Rates, Reforestation, Utilization of Waste of Hardwoods
and Improved Logging Methods Were Among
Leading Topics Discussed
Topics of vital importance to the logging and luml)or industry
in general, principal among them being freight rates, reforestation
and utilization of waste of hardwood lumber, came under discus-
sion during the sessions of the spring conference of the Appa-
lachian Logging Congress, on March 28, 29 and 30 at the Sinton
Hotel, Cincinnati. In addition preparations were made to combat
all legislation detrimental to the logging industry, in the five
states comprising the Appalachian region.
During the three-day sessions the loggers carefully reviewed the
operations of their congress and considered methods of improving
its service during the coming year. Precedent was broken by the
loggers when Cincinnati was selected for the spring conference,
for it was the first time in the history of the organization that a
city north of the Mason and Dixon line had been so favored.
Sentiment of the delegates was unanimous that the conference
was the most successful in recent years. The delegates' visit here
no doubt was a successful one, for it brought them in personal
contact with some of the largest purchasers and consumers of
forest products in the country. The conference was attended by
200 delegates, including lumber manufacturers from Kentucky,
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia. Ecpre-
sentatives of the machinery and supply houses were present to
acquaint the lumbermen with the latest appliances in their respec-
tive lines.
The Entertainment Committee, which consisted of W. C. Cham-
pion, chairman; E. W. Meeker, H. F. Holt, E. M. Vestal and Paul
H. Gearhart, had prepared a variety of events which were highly
enjoyed by the delegates.
Before the convention formally opened, a meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee, composed of F. G. Norcross, T. Sunderland, John
Eaine, C. L. Babcock, George N. Delaney, W. T. Latham, Andrew
Gennett, John F. Shea, L. D. Gasteiger and T. W. Hampton was
held in Parlor G. of the Hotel and Legislative and Mem-
bership Committees for the five states representing the organiza-
tion were appointed. The members of these committees and the
states they represent are: Landon C. Bell, T. M. Gathright, and
J. M. Paxton, Virginia; Henry Curtain, Peter Carroll and M. W.
Stark, West Virginia; Andrew Gennett, Frank Chapman and T. "W.
Hampton, North Carolina; C. L. Babcock, John Doomey and John
F. Shea, Tennessee, George Delaney, E. A. Robinson and W. A.
Kenny, Kentucky. These committees were appointed for the pur-
pose of obtaining new members and to protect the interests of
the logging and lumber industries from all legislation detrimental
to the trade in their respective states. The appointment of the
committees was the most important business matter transacted
during the period of the convention.
Five resolutions were presented by the Resolutions Committee
of which T. Sunderland was chairman, but only four of the pro-
posals were adopted. The fifth which dealt with what constitutes
a purchasable log was tabled. There was some considerable dis-
cussion on the subject. Several members contended that this only
interested the contracting parties and was not of enough impor-
tance to justify the congress in adopting it.
Four other resolutions were adopted.
Gist of Resolutions
One declaring that "it is impossible under existing rail rates
for producers of hardwoods to dispose of the products of their
mills without a loss," indorsed the efforts of the lumber traffic
associations to bring about an adjustment of rates that will permit
of the free and normal movement of hardwood lumber on the rail-
roads serving the. Appalachian territory.
Another resolution "condemned and opposed as unfair competi-
tion" the efforts of the so-called old line fire insurance companies,
working through the National Association of local agents, to secure
the passage of legislation and otherwise "hinder and prohibit
reciprocal insurance." All members were urged to exert their
efforts to secure protection against such legislation wherever it is
being advanced.
The executive committee of the Appalachian Logging Congress
was, by another resolution, directed to "take positive and vigorous
steps to stop the illicit manufacture and sale of whisky," by
bringing the matter to the attention of the prohibition enforce-
ment officials, both state and national, and assisting these officials
in all proper ways and to devise such further ways and means to
suppress this traffic as may appear proper and practical to the
committee. "r-^
In the preamble to this resolution it was declared that the manu-
facture of whisky has assumed the importance of a definite indus-
try in the Appalachian region and has become a positive menace
to the lumber industry of the section.
Two of the other important resolutions passed had to do
with the improvement of the strictly mechanical phases of logging
in the Appalachian region. One of these applied to fuel saving
and the other to overhead cableway logging equipment. They
are as follows:
Whereas, It appears that a considerable waste of fuel exists in the
.ivcrage operation of steam logging machinery, because of wet steam and
insulation, either InsufBcient or entirely lacking ; therefore be it
Resolved : That the Committee on Power Logging Equipment be
requested to investigate and report at our Pall meeting on the subject of
steam economy, and particularly the following phases:
(1) Costs, methods, and possible fuel economy of proper insulation of
exposed boiler and pipe surfaces in present standard equipment.
(2) Methods and comparative costs, and economies, in improved steam
consumption.
(a) Through use of dried steam without super-heating.
(b) Through use of super-heated steam,
(b-l) By use of patented super-heaters.
(b-2) By interior installation of main steam pipes with such exposure
to combustion gases as will secure moderate super-heating.
It is suggested that the committee take up with the manufacturers and
report on the cost of such Interior location of pipe, as it relates to new
construction, also as to service for, and at what cost existing equipment
could be changed over, and as to whether this would be desirable or
advisable in preference to adding a patent super-heating device.
Whereas, E. A. GasklU In an address of high engineering interest and
value has suggested certain modifications in designs of Overhead Cable-
way Logging Equipment for their general improvement, and particularly
to secure a one-car installation ; and.
Whereas, The manufacturers in this field have shown In the past a
spirit of progressive Improvement, and will welcome any such practical
suggestions ; be it therefore
Resolved : That the President of this Congress appoint a special com-
mittee on Power Logging Equipment to consist of three members with
E. A. Gaskill as Chairman, which committee shall take up with manufac-
turers the recommendations of Mr. GaskiU's paper together with recom-
mendations or suggestions laid before the Committee by any other of our
members and same to be reported at our Fall meeting.
Norcross Opens Meeting
The convention was called to order by President F. G. Norcross,
of Norma, Tenn., at 1:30 o'clock on the afternoon of March 28.
He introduced Clifford Martin, special representative of Mayor
John Galvin of Cincinnati; Newell H. Hargrave, President of the
Cincinnati Lumbermen's Club, and James A. Eeilly, President of
the Chamber of Commerce, who welcomed the delegates to Cin-
cinnati-

In addressing tlie eonvontion, Mr. Martin said that the citizens
of Cincinnati wore delighted to be honored witli a convention
vvliicli represented tlie most important branch of the lumber indus-
try. Completing his remarks, Mr. Martin presented President
Norcross' son with a baseball, which contained the signature of
"Babe" Ruth, the home run king of baseball. Messrs. Hargravc
and Reilly, concurred in the remarks of Mr. Martin and added
that their respective orfjanizafions were at the disposal of the
delegates.
George N. Delaney of Williamsburg, Ky., responded to their
remarks on behalf of the delegates and assured the organizations
which were instrumental in bringing the spring conference to
Cincinnati that the delegates were pleased with the selection.
The address with which Pfbsident Norcross opened the conven-
tion expressed a spirit of hopefulness and fcelijig of confidence in
the present industrial depression. Discussing association matters,
Mr. Norcross urged that the annual meeting be held in Cincinnati
in the spring instead of the fall and that the fall meetings be held
in rotation in the various Southern States. He placed his proposi-
tion before the body following ;i discourse on the advantageous
location of the city.
"I have a recommendation which 1 hope will be approved by tlie
delegates, which is of vital importance and that is an amendment
to the constitution concerning dues," Mr. Norcross said. "If this
proposal is adopted it will put the organization on a sound financial
basis."
Concerning tlie logging industry he said tliat "serious problems
which now confront the business will be discussed and plans
devised for their early solution. The lumbermen must protect
themselves from the drastic laws which are being introduced in
the national and state legislative bodies in reference to the lumber
industry."
In reference to trade conditions Mr. Norcross said that "in
years when business was good we were deprived of surplus funds
and today when conditions are the reverse we are caught with a
small surplus fund. Lumber prices have recently dropped 35 to
60 per cent from the top prices and millwork 17 per cent. But
wages have not come down and the lumbering industry must either
reduce the cost of production, shut down or go into bankruptcy. ' '
Proceeding to reforestation Mr. Norcross stated that "he hoped
that some plan would be laid out shortly whereby for every tree
cut down another will be planted. We are getting deeper and
deeper into the primeval forests and the best lumber now to be
found is in remote places. That adds to the cost of production.
There is perhaps only one-half of the original stand of forest left
in the Appalachian system. The government figures indicate that
at the rate of devastation production of hardwood in twenty years
will be seriously impaired. Now very little walnut remains.
Reforestation must be done under some form of Government super-
vision as in France and Germany. In Maine pulp concerns are
cutting trees under Government supervision."
Secretary's Report
The report of Secretary T. Sunderland dealt largely with the
financial situation of the association. He said that the member-
ship roster today contains 64 members as against 7 when the
organization was founded.
The first address of the convention was made by Landon C. Bell,
of Columbus, Ohio, on "Co-Operation." Mr. Bell urged the lum-
•bermen to practice this more in their daily tasks and hailed it as
the fundamental principle for conducting a successful business.
Owing to the absence of J. J. Adderly of the Integrity Mutual
Casualty Company, Chicago, 111., who was called unexpectedly to
Atlantic City, George M. Williamson addressed the delegates on
"Safety in Mills and Woods." Mr. Williamson illustrated his
lecture with motion pictures.
Speaking on transportation problems of today, J. J. Townshend
of the Southern Hardwood Traffic Association, Memphis, Tenn.,
said that the lumber industry suffered untold losses during the
past year, due to the lack of sufticien.t car supply and transporta-
tion facilities. This .situation, he stated, was aggravated by
]jriority orders issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission,
giving preferential car supply to certain commodities. Mr.
Townshend said that under the Transportation Act of 1920, the
Interstate Commerce Commission was given authority to make
special rules or orders with respect to car service affecting any
specific commodity. The result, he continued, was a serious dis-
crimination against the hardwood industry in the distribution of
eciuiiiment. Mr. Townshend urged the delegates to support a bill
to secure the abolition of such legislation as gives the Interstate
Commerce Commission authority to issue priority orders.
The address of L. Wallis Gibbons, of the H. J. Baker &
Brothers, New York City, on utilizing of waste of hardwood lumber
was very interesting and applauded by the delegates.
Mr. Gibbons made a comprehensive survey of the logic of waste
prevention and utilization of hardwood lumber, appealing to the
lumbermen to gather up the waste in the mills and woods and
disjiose of it to the wood chemical plants.
The afternoon session concluded with an address on "Fire Pre-
vention and Insurance Problems," by Frank Burns of the Lee
lilakemore. Inc., Chicago, 111.
In the evening the delegates were the guests of representatives
of tlie machinery and supply houses in the ballroom, where the
latest developments in machinery used in the logging and lumber
industry were shown by motion pictures. A Dutch lunch and
vaudeville show followed.
During the second morning of the convention the members
listened to a most interesting address from E. A. Gaskill, of the
Suncrest Lumber Company of Sunburst, N. C, on logging power,
equipment and methods. Mr. Gaskill advocated that the plant for
all around logging in the Appalachian Mountains should be on one
steel car between 36 and 40 feet long, and the \yeight for the car,
machinery, tower spar and rope should not exceed eighty tons.
Discussion of Addresses
Discussion followed the addresses of the second day nud on Mr.
Gaskill 's topic it was largely over the advantage of using super-
heated steam in getting efficiency and reducing boiler troubles.
The importance of avoiding curves in the slide and the use of
oil at some points in the slide in dry weather and of ice for the
same purpose in cold weather was emphasized by F. B. Duane of
the Western Carolina Lumber Company, Burnsville, N. C, in his
address on logging with log-slide method in combination with
ground skidder. Another speaker at the morning session was C. S.
Badgett of the Champion Fibre Company, Canton, N. C.
Addressing the convention on problejns of capital and labor of
today, John Raine, of Rainelle, W. Va., former president of the
congress, said that they never will be settled right until they are
negotiated on the basis of the principles of Jesus Christ. Mr.
Raine emphasized the fact that there must be permitted the influx
of the right tj'pe of foreign labor because the lumberman always
needed this and with prosperity will need it again.
Horses are preferred more often for logging purposes than mules
or steers, John Shea of Knoxville, Tenn., said in an address on
horses. The reason for this, he said, is because the horse is
"smarter." In conclusion Mr. Shea said horses should only be
fed half their regular allotment when not working. Overfeeding,
he stated, has resulted in the death of many animals in logging
camps.
A discussion followed on the subject as to which was the best
for logging purposes, the horse, mule, steer or skidder. It was
agreed that this could not be determined because conditions arise
sometimes in the forest where one could be used to better advan-
tage than the other and then vice versa.
Some startling figures as to the saving by the use of track laying
machinery in preference to the old way of constructing railroads
were given by J. J. Lumm of the Clyde Iron Works, Duluth, Minn.
Mr. Lumm described the latest development in track machinery
to answer the purpose of the loggers. The adoption of power for
logging purposes in the place of muscles, he said, has been slow.

"Tlie forest end of the industry," he said, "to some extent still
l.luKs alonji; in the old fashioned way, fearing to depart from well
Ijeaten paths until the other fellow blazes the way."
W. T. Latham of the Andrews Manufacturing Company,
Andrews, N. C, was unable to deliver his address on logging rail-
roads because of a severe cold which he contracted on the train,
ills manuscript on the subject was read by President Norcross.
The afternoon session concluded with an address on tho use of
caterpillar steam shovel in logging railroad construction and the
portable camp housing bj' C. L. Babcock of the Babcock Lumber
and Land Company, Maryville, Tenn. The delegates then
assembled in groups and conducted round table talks.
The annual banquet held in the evening was attended by several
hundred members and their friends. At this brilliant social event
Miles Byrns, of the Cumberland Valley Lumber Company, Cincin-
nati, presided as toastmaster. Addresses were made by Clifford
Martin of Cincinnati and C. S. Babcock. On behalf of the dele-
gates, Mr. Babcock presented W. C. Champion of the Clyde Iron
Works, and chairman of the entertainment committee with a eigar-
I'tte case for his fruitful labors in arranging the program. Presi-
dent Norcross eulogized Mr. Champion as one of the founders of
the .\]ipalachian Logging Congress. Mr. Champion responded with
remarks of appreciation for the gift. The affair concluded with
a vaudeville show.
The Closing Session
The speakers at the last session of the convention on the morn-
ing of March 30 were L. D. Gasteiger of the Pittsburgh Lumber
Company, Braemar, Tenn., and Andrew Gennett of the Gennett
Lumber Company, Asheville, N. C.
Mr. Gennett said that statistics for 1918 show that 60 per cent
of the lumber produced in the Appalachian region was the product
of the jjortable mill. Ninety per cent of the portable mill operations
have ceased during the past six months, he said. Tnder present
conditions, Mr. Gennett said, portable mill operations will not be
able to supply their 60 per cent when business revives. Mr.
Gennett predicted business would improve immediately upon the
readjustment of wages and freight rates. In conclusion, he
described the methods of forestry in France.
Leslie Brooks of Bryson City, N. C, who was slated to make an
address on timber resources in Panama, was unable to attend the
convention because of important business in the east. His paper
was read by ,J. R. Williams, publisher of the Appalachian Logging
Journal. Mr. Brooks in his manuscript said that the lack of roads
is the chief dr.iwback of timber development in Panama. He said
that American lumber interests need fear no competition from the
low priced woods from Panama as climatic and other conditions
will always make lumber production expensive in the tropics.
C. G. Eogers, director of forest studies in America to the Gov-
ernment in India, in addressing the convention said that he never
saw such wonderful opportunities as in this country. Mr. Rogers,
who has been in the United States fifteen months with seventeen
British engineers, said it is impossible to introduce machinery
appliances in the Far East because of the abundance of labor. Mr.
Eogers is making a study of American logging methods.
The convention was brought to a close with an address on asso-
ciation matters by J. L. Boyd, secretary of the Southern Logging
Association, New Orleans, La.
In the afternoon of March 30, between 50 and 75 delegates
motored to the plant of the Cherrj' Lumber Company, where a dry
kiln demonstration was held for their benefit.
Alluvial Empire Builders Meet
The Federal Land Banks, the Joint Stock Land Banks and the
Federal Farm Loan Associations operating under the Federal Farm
Loan Act, recently pronounced constitutional by the Supreme
Court of the United States, are in position to play a very impor-
tant part in the development of cut-over and other lands in the
vast alluvial empire in Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Louis-
iana, according to Walter Howell, president of the Federal Land
Bank, Louisville, Ky., who delivered the feature address before
the fourth annual meeting of the Southern Alluvial Land Associa-
tion at the Hotel Chisca, Memphis, Thursday afternoon, April 28.
He pointed out, in particular, that these agencies are in position
to furnish "real money" for the needs of farmers and landowners
not only to pay their current indebtedness to their bankers, their
merchants and other creditors but also to carry on the develop-
ment work now in progress, and that they can furnish this "real
money" on a basis, so far as terms are concerned, that is impos-
sible for bankers and others who have capital to loan.
W. H. Dick, vice-president of the Tallahatchie Lumber Company,
Memphis and Phillip, Miss., was elected president. He succeeds
A. C. Lange of the Chicago Mill & Lumber Company, Blytheville,
Ark., who served as head of this organization for a single year.
Other ofiicers and directors chosen were: W. H. Bonner, J. H.
Bonner & Sons, Memphis and Heth, Ark., first vice-president; Max
Sondheimcr, E. Sondheimer Company, Memphis, Tenn., Shreveport,
Sondheimer and Tallulah, La., second vice-president; John M.
Pritchard, secretarj'-manager of the Southern Hardwood Traffic
Association, treasurer; A. C. Lange, Blytheville, Ark., F. K. Conn,
Shreveport, La., Max Miller, Marianna, Ark., S. E. Simonsftn,
Luxora, Ark., and S. M. Nickey, Memphis, directors. At a meeting
of the executive board held immediately after adjournment, F. D.
Beneke was re-elected secretary.
The association unanimously passed resolutions protesting
against the action of congress in restricting immigration, taking
the view that immigration should be free and unhindered in the
interest of the undeveloped lands of^he alluvial empire and other
sections of the United States.
The report of F. D. Beneke, secretary, showed that 29 members
had been received during the past year and that losses, all by
resignation, had been eight, leaving a net gain of 21 members.
The report indicated that these resignations had been handed in
because of necessary retrenchment incident to the severe deflation
of the value of farm products and suggested that those who had
resigned would reinstate their memberships when conditions were
more favorable.
The report also indicated that, while it had been necessary to
practice the most rigid economy, the association had been able to
take care of all its obligations up to the time of the annual. In
this connection, Mr. Beneke made it perfectly clear that the
association is, despite the economy necessary, in better position
than ever before to carry on its activities in behalf of the alluvial
empire because of the splendid talent at its command and because
of the willingness of newspapers, magazines, trade papers and
other publications to use everything the association offers in tho
way of publicity matter bearing on this particular section of the
United States.
The report of Secretary Beneke dealt largely with the publicity
work accomplished during the past year, saying that this sur-
passed anything ever previously undertaken by any similar organi-
zation. He said that thousands of columns of live reading matter
had been given wide circulation through the media already men-
tioned, to say nothing of the thousands of pamphlets which had
been mailed out of the offices of the organization.

Standardization of Dimension Stock
*By William A. Babbitt,
chairman of the Committee of Standardization, Association of Wood Using Industries
//. Some Problems for the Lumbermen to Solve
Tho first jjuper on the subject of Standardization of Dimension
Stock for Wood Using Industries endeavored to set fortli t!ie pre-
liminary steps necessary to be talcen before the standardization
project could be properly launched.
After showing that the origin of the present movement goes
back to the efforts of wood users to establish a sound basis for cost
accounting, (which basis will always be one of the principal
benefits of standardization), figures were quoted showing the great
importance of standardization from the viewpoint of lumber con-
servation. The paper then proceeded to indicate and briefly dis-
cuss some of the more obvious reasons which prevented the general
turn of wood using industries from lumber to dimension; and
which prevented lumbermen from widely undertaking so obvious
and effectual a method of salvaging waste and getting a better
return for low grade lumber.
Not a Discussion of Production Technique
It is not the purpose of this paper to discuss manufacturers'
problems involved in the production of Standardized Dimension.
We wish to present certain outstanding features of the Standardi-
zation Program which particularly concern the lumbering interests.
This paper is an effort to view and attack this problem from the
right angle of approach.
I. — Importance of Appreciating Consumers' Viewpoint
One might easily and safely hazard the opinion that the lumber-
man who is not willing to take the time and trouble to get the
woodusers' point of view had better stay out of the Dimension
Program altogether. In fact, the writer believes that in no other
way can a lumberman get a proper sense of the importance of
small things in present day lumbering more easily and accurately
than to look at his business from a woodusers' standpoint. The
wooduser is daily brought face to face with these "small things"
in lumber. He knows how tremendously they affect his whole
production problem. These "small things" the lumberman is apt
to overlook, but the wooduser cannot do so.
A Case in Point
We will assume, for the sake of illustration, that a lumberman
has gone into the production of dimension for some large manufac-
turer of turned wood products. This customer wants his stock
sawed in steps of one-eighth of an inch, throughout a certain range
of sizes. Such a specification might strike a lumberman as unrea-
sonable, especially if his customer should refuse oversize squares.
Let us say that the customer wants 1" x 1" squares, while the lum-
berman only has 1%" x 1%" squares. Why be fussy about so small
a matter as %" oversize?
But the customer is not unreasonable, and he can easily show
tho reasonableness of his position. Did you ever figure the differ-
ence in volume between an 1" x 1" square and a square that is %"
larger? Probably not. But the manufacturer of turned wood
products knows — or ought to know — that if a certain job requires
five thousand feet b.m. of 1" x 1" squares, he will have to pay for
6,250 feet, providing he listens to the lumberman who wants him
to buy for this job, s()uares only one-eighth of an inch oversize.
One thousand two hundred and fifty feet of this stock will be
Editok's Note : This i^ the sc<:ond of three papers on the problems
involved in the stan4ardization of dimension stoch^, the first of which was
published in ITaudwood Recokd April 25. ilap we call your attention to
the introductory paragraph, and the statement that the^e papers deal only
with ijencral features of the problem, and not with technical details?
From time to tinie, and from many different but authoritative sources, Mr.
Babbitt expects to present studies that go into every practical detail of
the problem.
thrown into shavings, at an extra cost of $125 for material, PLUS
the cost of manufacturing that 1,300 feet of lumber into shavings,
PLUS the cost of slow-cd production, due to the excessive turn-off,
on account of unnecessary oversize. ' This Vs" oversize square is
25 per cent larger than the required square. It would be very
conservative to state that this %" oversize, in this case, would
add at least 50 per cent to the cost of raw material for the job.
The point is that the woodusers' attitude is not always stupid or
unreasonable. Sometimes there is a very valuable grain of sense
and gleam of intelligence therein.
The Reverse Side of the Illustration
The reverse side is naturally the lumbermen's side. Let us sup-
pose the lumberman had said to his customer: "I haven't the one
inch squares, but I will give you the inch and one-eighth at the
same price, as there is very little difference." The customer
accepts. How does the lumberman come out? He sells his inch
and one-eighth squares at a discount of over 20 per cent, assuming
that he was selling both sizes on a $100 per M base.
Further, this illustration sheds new light on the importance of
proper equipment for sawing. The writer's somewhat extensive
observation would tend to confirm the opinion frequently expressed
that most dimension outfits are equipped with saws that produce
one inch squares from stock which with proper saws would pro-
duce inch and one-eighth squares. In which case 200 board feet
or more are converted into saw dust for every thousand feet of
merchantable dimension stock produced- — board feet which ought
to be sold for real.mrfney. On an average dimension mill run of
7,500 feet a day, some 1,500 feet of merchantable stock daily
"goes up the flue." The point is that the question of saw kerf is
mueli more important in manufacturing dimension stock than in
manufacturing plank. It is as many times more important, as the
average number of rippings per board.
Could there be any school of economy for lumbermen more sug-
gestive and profitable than to operate a dimension mill with per-
sistent and intelligent reference to saw kerf and net footage in
terms of dimension stock?
The writer has ventured to extend his illustration to this great
length in order to bring home the vital point that is is all-impor-
tant for lumberman to see this dimension problem from the view
point of their customer. Furthermore, we wish to make plain that
there is no step in the Dimension Program which is not character-
ized by similar mutual advantages.
Dimension Stock a Specialty
One of the vivid and still fascinating memories of my childhood
is the visit of the family doctor of — well a good many years ago.
What a wonderful medicine case he carried! The very smell had
healing virtue. And what wonderful cures he compounded! Ten
to fifteen drugs for a tumbler of dosage were common, along with
half a dozen kinds of pills. In desperate cases he loaded his shot
with nearly his whole line. So we grew up strong and husky.
But now doctors are becoming specialists. They have to be.
And incidentally they find it more profitable — or at all events, it
costs their patients more.
There seems to be certain similarity with regard to dimension
stock. To succeed, one must specialize. It would be a big under-
taking for one mill to cover the standard specifications for, let
us say, farm wagons. Very few mills would safely undertake to
stock the line of specifications which have been submitted by the
National Association of Wood Turners. Careful students see little
chance for the mill who imitates the "shotgun dosage" practice

of the doctors of the old school. It would seem to be folly for any
mill to uttompt to cover u tenth part of the furniture manufac-
turers ' requirements.
So this Program of Staiulardization evidently requires a lumber-
man to approach the production problem with reference to a partic-
ular field, rather than in a general way. In a word, he will be
under necessity to decide, not to manufacture dimension stock;
but to manufacture certain lines that careful surveys show (1) to
bo easily and reliably marketable; and (2) wliich interlock, so as
to use up all stock available for dimension to the best advantage.
Furthermore (3) he will install machinery with special reference
to his specialized lines.
II. — Clearing the Ground
If it is safe to say that the lumberman who is unable or unwill-
ing to approach the standardization problem from the wood user's
point of view hail better stay oiit allogether; it is equally safe to
say that he also had better stay out unless he is prepared and
determined to dismiss a number of long settled and totally mis-
taken ideas about dimension stock. It will make all the difference
in the world whether the lumberman looks down on or looks up to
this program. We've got to respect our job. To mention some of
these fundamental o])ini«ns whicn are quite mistaken:
1. That dimension stock is a low grade proposition. It will be
essential to success to root out this idea, though frequently it will
require a mental stump-]niller to turn the trick. This operation
would kill some of us.
But the truth is that dimension stock stands out as the sole high

The Home Building Council
The idea of a local "Home Building Council," to advise and
encourage the prospective home-builder on every important phase
of the building problem, has been originated by Robert B. Goodman
of Marinette, Wis., a manufacturer of northern hardwoods and a
lumber association leader, who is giving a great deal of time .'ind
thought to the difficult problem of overcoming the stagnation in
building.
The idea has been presented by Mr, Goodman to several cities
in Wisconsin, where he has spoken at home building conferences.
His latest presentation of the plan was at Kenosha where he spoke
24
HARDWOOD RECORD
May 10, 19U'l
the evening of April 2f), and whore the plan was enthusiastically
received. On this occasion Mr. Goodman had the following to
say on the council:
PuWloity Is one-halt tlio Ijattle. The other liall' is servlco-llrst, tlic
Kcncral boosting service that the whole conimmilty should take part In.
If we all say. "Let us make Kenosha a city of homes," It will become a
city of homes. Hut there Is a very special service in home building that
must be performed. The progressive lumber dealer realizes this and so he
furnishes plans and assists the prospect in getting the bids and tells him
how to secure a building loan. The realtor does this, so does the bulldinf;
and loan association, the buildoi', the architect. Kach of you realizes that
no one wants luniber. brick, cement, building lots and liuildlng contracts.
What the prospect wants Is a hiune. Il<> has no experience lu liuildlng n
house or linamtng the operation. So when your publicity work has
created a prospect, you should be ready with some kind of co-operation
service to close the deal, 1 suggest, mind you, I merely suggest that you
have a Home Hulldlng Council with a cbalrinan In whose integrit.v, aljility
and fairness everyone has contidi'nce. Your secretary should be some one
who really wants to work on this job, possibly the secretary of our cham-
ber of commerce, who wants to be of service to the community, and who
should have an office where everyone can consult him.
Yiiu will jiut on the council the publicity expert I have referred to: also
a house plan expert, who can get all the various home planning services
and architects llnc<l up to enable the secretary to show any one bow to
select a house plan, and what he will have to pay for It.
You will need a building cost expert, who will get the builders' estimates
on typical plans and specifications, that will enable tiie Secretary to tell
the prospect what his house will cost.
.\lso, a building loan expert, who will get all the banks and building loan
associations, private lenders of money and some of the big industrial em-
ployers to draw up safe but liberal terms of making building loans, and a
real estate expert who knows Kenosha and can advise Impartially as to
real estate values.
Y'ou may also find need for simie iither members to this council. They
must all be men willing to devnle their services iu this work. 1 know
you have such men with both ability and willingness to serve.
This, in brief, is the plan for the council. In considering it the
name of any given community may be substituted for tliat of
Kenosha, as it is a proposition capable of application to any com-
munity large enough to need homes and to furnish the essential
personnel of the council.
Mr. (loodman's conception is that this council should be formed
following a Home Building Conference, at which all the various
]diases of the problem of home building in the community have
been carefully analyzed. The council will be permanent, or at
least exist through the period of the emergency, and w^ill make the
jiroposition of building a home easy for the average head of a
f.iiiiily. As the ;il)ove statement indicated, the council will give
dependable answers to all the technical and other details and
problems that stand between the prospective home builders and
llie realization of his desire for a home. These details are bound
to offer a certain measure of discouragement to the prospective
builder and thus a body that will work them out for him is certain
to furnish the best possible encouragement and leave no dis-
couraging features before even the most timid or busy prospect.
Proposed National Hardwood Rules Changes
The annual report of the Inspection Rules Committee of the
National Hardwood Lumber Association has been issued. This
report, which will be presented at the twenty-fourth annual con-
vention of the association in Philadelphia, Pa., June 9 and 10, by
John W. McClure of Memphis, Tenn., Chairman, is expected to
furnish one of the chief topics for deliberation, as is usual at the
annual conventions of the National association.
The committee this year proposes seven changes for the purpose
of clarifying certain moot sections of the rules, five distinct
changes and one actual addition. The addition to the rules applies
to Standard Turning Squares and is recommended at the request
of the Association of Wood Using Industries.
The members of the committee, in addition to Chairman McClure,
are as follows: D. 0. Anderson, J. L. Benas, Jos. H. Dion, E. B.
Ford, Harry C. Fowler, M. J. Fox, George Kersley, C. H. Kramer,
0. M. Krebs, H. W. McDonough, Bay McQuillan, Charles N.
Perrin, Frank Purcell, W. T. Roberts, L. L. Shertzer, Daniel Wertz.
The changes recommended follow:

The following change In the method of measuring and tallying the grade
of Shorts in Mahogany is recommended by a number of mahogany produc-
ers. It has been adopted by the Timber Trades Federation of England and
by the National Lumber Exporters Association of the United States. This
change in method of nieiisurement does not affect the final result nor the
grade. It is proposed as a convenience in order to make it possible to use
the ordinary board rule. The change, if adopted, will make the present rule
for shorts read as follows :
SlIOliTS must be 4" and over wide.
Standard lengths are 2, 2Vi, 3, 3i/.. i. -iV', 5 and 5'A feet. Fractional
lengths other than standard must be measured as of the next lower
standard length. Shorts must be measured and tallied as if four times the
actual standard length and the resulting tally divided by four.
Pieces 4" and 5" wide must be clear.
Pieces 6" and over wide will admit standard defects according to the
above basis of surface measure (four times the actual surface measure)
as follows :
8 feet, 1 standard defect or' its equivalent.
IG feet, 2 stan<l;iid dc feet^ <ir their equivalent.
22 feet, 3 standard defects or their equivalent.
26 feet. 4 standard defects or their equivalent.

No. 2 Wagon Stock.
(See page 107 present rules.)
The addition of the following sentence under the caption of No. 2 'Wagon
Stock has been suggested by the National Implement and Vehicle Associa-
tion to remove a cause of misunderstanding without changing the present
interpretation of the rules :
Heart and shake will not be admitted.
Paragraph b ;
Wagon Eox Poards.
(See page 102 present rules.)
A retpiest condng from the National Implement and Vehicle Association
luis been approved b,v our committee regarding the grade of Box Boards.
It is recommended that the words "and checked" be inserted after the word
"warped" in the last paragraph, page 102, This would not change the
present interpretation and if adopted would make the paragraph mentioned
read as follows :
Woolly cottonw'ood and lumber so warped and checked that it cannot be
used for box boards must be excluded from this grade.
Paragraph 4 :
Quartered Woods.
The insertion of the followlug definition of the term "Quartered" when
used in connection with woods which now have no rules for quartered is
recommended :
In woods where figure is not required, lumber shall be considered as quar-
tere<l when the radial grain is at an angle of fort.v-five degrees or less with
SO per cent of one face of the piece.
Paragraph 5 :
Measurement of Strips.
(See pages 95 and 96 present rules.)
Our present rules contain no instructions for the measurement of strips
under special inspection. The adoption of the following rule is recom-
mendiKl as being in conformity with the interpretation now Ixung used:
Strips may be >i" scant of standard widths when shipping dry. In the
grades of clear and clear sap strips, tapering pieces must be measured at
the narrow end. In the grades of common strips, tapering pieces must be
uu^asured one-third the length of the piece fnun the narrow end.
Paragraph 6 :
neflnition of Sound Cutting.
(See page 13 present rules.)
The insertion of the word "heart" after the word "rot" is recommended
for the purpose of removing a cause of frequent ndsuuderstanding and is
in accordance with the present interpretation. This insertion would make
the paragraph read as follows :
The term SiH'ND CUTTING as used in these rules means a cutting free

Paragraph 8 :
Miscut Lumber.
(See page 10 present rules.)
Owing to the difficulties involved in manufacturing 4" and thicker lum-
ber, especially In some woods, it is recommended that the rule defining
miscut lumber be amended so as to permit a variation of %" in thickness
in stock cut 4" and thicker. If adopted, this paragraph would read as
follows :
Lumber showing greater variation in tliickness between any two points
than the following table must be measured at the thinnest part and classed
as miscut, and must be graded and reported as such :
I'j" in thicknesses of Vi" or less.
Mi" in thicknesses of %" and %".
1/4" in thicknesses ot 1" to 2".
%" in thicknesses of 2y>" to .■!)/.".
%" in thicknesses of 4" and thicker.
Paragraph 9 :
No. 2 Axles.
(See page 107 of present rules.)
On suggestion of the National Implement and Vehicle Association, that
unsound knots now admitted by our rules in Xo. 2 .\xles. in connection
with other defects admitted, make too poor an axle for practical utilization,
it is recommended that these unsound knots be eliminated from the present
rule. It adopted, this would make the rule read as follows :
No. 2 .Xxles will admit %" sound knots, IVt" sound knots not less than
12" apart, or tlieir equivalent in smaller detects: season checks 1" deep
and 24" long, end splits not exceeding S" in length, grain crossing in not
less than halt the length ot the piece, 1" ot wane, two grub holes showing
on one or two sides, or other defects equivalent to the above.
Hewn axles shall be measured to square to the size they are ordered.
Defects at ends of axles that will admit working five feet six inches to
be accepted.
Paragraph 10 :
Cypress Rules.
(See pages 77 and 78 present rules.)
In order to meet prevailing customs of the trade and to simplify inspec-
tion, the following changes are recommended in the rules for Xo. 1 Com-
mon, No. 2 Common, No. 1 Boxing and No. 2 Boxing. These changes con-
sist of reducing these four grades to three grades. Other grades in cypress
remain unchanged. The present rule for No. 1 Common is left unchanged
with only one or two sliglit modifications for the purpose of clarifying the
rule. The present rules for Xo. 2 Common and Xo. 1 Boxing are combined
in one grade under the caption of Xo. 2 Common. The present rule for Xo.
2 Itiixing remains unchanged with the exception that the caption is changed
to "Boxing." Tliese rules as amended would read as follows ;
No. 1 Common.
Inspection must be made from the good side. The reverse side must not
be below the grade of No. 2 Common and must not contain defects that
materially impair the strength ot the piece or prevent its use in full length
and width tor common purposes. No. 1 Common must be 3" and over wide,
0' and over long, admitting not to exceed 10 per cent ot G and 7' lengths.
This grade will admit sound stain, worm holes, season checks, a slight
amount ot peck, slight shake not extending through the piece, sound knots,
an occasional unsound knot not exceeding 1" in diameter and not extending
more than half through the piece, slight wane on one or both edges not to
exceed one-third the length or one-half the thickness ot the piece and one
end-split not exceeding in length the width of the piece or its equivalent in
both ends.
No. 2 Common.
Xo, 2 Common must be .■?" and over wide. 6' and over long.
This grade will admit all the defects admitted in Xo. 1 Common, but the
defects may be larger and coarser, and in addition will admit peck on both
sides, through shake, unsound knots, knot holes, and other unsound defects
that will not cause waste of more than 33 1/3 per cent of any piece when
>ise<l for ordinary box making, crating, sheathing or similar purposes In
cuttings not less than 3" wide and 2' long or 4" wide and 18" long.
Specified widths in this grade must have sufficient strength to permit the
use ot each piece in its full length and width for low grade fencing, sheath-
ing, construction and other common purposes.
Boxing.
ISo.\ing must \» :'," and over wide, 4' and over long, and must work
not less than ."jO'/o in the foilowing descrilied cuttings, no cutting to be

may contain sound slain, worm holes, unsound knots and peck that do
not extend through, season checks and other defects that do not materially
impair the strength of the cutting or prevent Its use for ordinary liox
making purposes.

Xo. 1 Common Mahogany.
(See commencing page 31 present rules)
There are certain differences between the present grade of Xo. 1 Com-
iiinn Maliogany and the same grade of Oak and other cabinet woods.
Several large Mahogany concerns feel that this condition should he eor-
recte<l. not only because this grade of Maliogany is cut up for practically
the .same pur|ioses as Oak. but also to make the rules more uniform and
easier of apiiliiatbui. It is. therefore, reconiinended that the present rules
for Xo. 1 Ccniimon Mahogany be amended to conform to the eighth, ninth
and tentli paragraphs under the caption of Xo. 1 Common Plain Oak on
page 59. The rule as amended would read as follows :
Xo. 1 Common must be 4" and over wide. C and over long.
Pieces 4" wide, (!' and 7' long, must be clear; 8 to 11' long, must work
66 2/3% clear face in not over two pieces; 12 to IG' long must work
(J(> 2/3% clear face in not over three pieces. Xo piece of cutting sliall he
less than 2' long by the full width ot the piece.
Pieces 0' long, .1" to S" wide, may have one standard defect ; 9" and
over wide may have two standard detects.
Pieces 5" to 7" wide, 7' to 11' long, must work 06 2/3% clear face
in not over two cuttings; 12' to 16' long must work 66 2/3% clear face
in not over three cuttings.
Pieces S" and over wide, 7' to 9' long, must work 66 2/3% clear face
in not over two cuttings ; 10' to 13' must work on 66 2/3% clear face in
not over three cuttings ; 14' to 16' must work 66 2/3% clear face in not
over four cuttings.
Each adtlitional 4' in length over 16' long will admit one additional
cutting in all widths described alxive.
Xo cutting shall be less than 4" wide and 2' long or 3" wide and 3' long.

The Association ot Wood Using Industries has requested that we adopt
rules for turning squares. They state that the requirements of the wood-
turning industry, as shown Tjy their surveys, are normally 1,800,000.000
feet per annum and that practically all of this Is classed as hardwoods.
The rules which tiiey propose are substantially the same as the following
recommendations :
Standard Turning Squares.
Standard sizes are Vj" to 2>L'" in multiples of %"; and 2>/i" to
5" in multiples of %".
Standard lengths are IS" to 24" in multiples of 1". and 24" and over
in multiples ot 2", but there must not be more than 20% of 24" and
shorter.
Standard grades are Xo. 1 and Xo. 2, which are combined as one grade
unless otherwise specified. The combined grade must not contain more
than 30% of No. 2.
Standard turning squares must be sawn full size and length when
shipping dr.v. Over size variation of not more than %" shall be allowed.
Squares having an oversize variation of more than %" shall be classed
as miscut.
Wane or other defects that will be removed in turning the square to
Us working size shall not be considered as defects. End checks not ex-
ceeding V." in length will not be considered as detects. Sap is no defect
unless otherwise specified. Xo heart will Iw admitted.
Otherwise No. 1 Standard Turning Squares must be clear. No. 2 Standard
Turning S(|uares will ailmit one sound %" knot or its equivalent for each
18" of the length of the piece.

Getting Accurate Costs
By L. D. Gasteiger.
In .uiciciil .■iml medieval times Mariners liail for their guide the
stars in the heavens. In cloudy weather and in storms with the
stars obscured from their view, they were often lost for days, and
in many instances their ships were dashed upon the rocks and
destroyed. When the compass came into general use the Mariner
could refer to this instrument in sunshine and in rain and know
that his ship was plowing through the waves in its proper course,
and ill absolute safety.
In business if we are to judge by the alarming number of
failures, the pilots must have used the stars for their guide, for
had they constructed their business upon a sound economical
basis, failure would not have overtaken so many. The pilot of
business is in the same position as the Mariner at sea. If the pilot
docs not have an accurate system of costs to guide him he will most
surely be dashed upon the rocks and ruined absolutely, as will tlio
Mariner who sails the seas without a compass.
So the system of costs is to business what the compass is to a
seaman. Without them, both will eventually be lost. It is so
utterly foolish for men to proceed in business without a guide, and
as an accurate cost system is the only true guide I often wonder
how so many hold on as long as they do.
All good business men, all successful men, know that an accurate
cost accounting system is a prerequisite to any successful business
undertaking, and why men will persist in sailing the sea of busi-
ness without their compass when they know that sooner or later
they will be without hope andT;heir dreams of a successful business
career forever blighted, is more than mystery to me. Upon an
accurate system of costs all business must be builded. No business
can succeed for any great length of time without an accurate
record of costs. I will admit, however, that during the high tide
of the lumber business, when prices soared beyond all reason, costs
were not such a vital element during that period for it was almost
impossible for an industry to get more money in their lumber than
they could get out of it. But we have passed through the period
of inflation and depression is upon us, let us hope temporarily.
To those who kept an accurate account of costs there is some hope,
but to those who failed to keep an accurate account, the chances
are they are drifting slowly but surely upon the rocks. If you
know exactly what your lumber now on your yards has cost you you
know what that lumber must sell for in order to break even, or
make a profit, therefore, an accurate cost accounting system is
indispensable in determining the question of sales. Costs are the
mirrors of our selling prices and all men know that sale values
are based on costs, and the two are inseparable in so far as the
management of a successful business enterprise is concerned. In
the matter of costs and sales the two go hand-in-hand, and as com-
petition has been very keen in our business during late years the
pilot of an industry who watches his costs closely and keeps an
accurate record is most likely to survive. In all human probability
the chief cause of the lumber business becoming demoralized, and
ruinous competition set up, is due in a large measure to those
engaged in our business who will not give their costs first con-
sideration. If costs are disregarded our business will always
remain unsatisfactory. A great many in our business and especially
the circular mill people manufacture lumber with only a faint idea
of what it has cost them, and in a great many cases in disposing
of their lumber the item of cost has not be'en considered and they
sell their product below cost, thereby bringing ruination u]ion
•Editou's Kote : This address was delivered l)y Mr. Oasteiger at the

burgh Lumher Company, Pittsburgh, Pa.
themselves and dissatisfaction to those in our business who are
moving along on a sound and sane basis. If we could teach those
in our business the absolute necessity of keeping an accurate
account of costs, one of our great troubles would be eliminated and
our business in general would be much more satisfactory. To
those who disregard the item of costs, failure is the inevitable
result, and the sooner these irresponsibles are driven from business
by their own nearsighted policy the better off the lumber industry
will be. Too much stress cannot be laid upon this item of costs.
It is the bed rock, the very foundation of business and every
transaction, no matter how unimportant it may seem is related to
co.sts in a minor or important degree. You cannot do a single
thing without affecting this item of costs.
The Fundamental Items.
Getting accurate costs is a big problem and it is not my inten-
tion to cover the entire field for to do so I would have to make
a careful study of the various plants of the country and take into
consideration certain items of expense which would be applicable
to some plants and not to others; however, for the purpose of
laying a foundation I shall briefly outline the fundamental items
necessary to be considered and from these main items subdivisions
may be made to take care of expense items which cannot be
charged directly, but which must be charged in order to present
a correct cost sheet.
First: The amount invested in your timber lands must be given
first consideration, and the probable sales value of lumber must
be figured and a reasonable average considered in order to form
a sound basis from which to work. Lumber prices rise and fall like
any other commodity and a general average is easily obtained by
consulting statistics covering a period of say ten years. If your
stumpage costs are high it may be impossible to operate in such
an economical manner so as to produce a profit. Practically all
lumber operations are confronted with like difficulties, and one
not experienced in the business should make a thorough investiga-
tion of all the items making up the basic elements of costs before
entering the field, therefore, as a first consideration, great impor-
tance is attached to stumpage values, for as a rule it forms one of
the principal items of costs.
Second: Plant facilities which consist of sawmill, boiler room,
planing mill, machine shop, yard, homes, office building, store
room, etc., is the second important item to be considered. The
cost of construction of all plant facilities will naturally depend
upon the location of a plant, and the supply of labor. And in
figuring on the size and kind of plant facilities the length of time
required to cut the boundary must be considered. After a plant
is constructed the cost of the necessary repairs and repair parts
go into your monthly cost statement, but your initial investment
miist be taken care of by monthly or annual depreciation charges
which, of course, greatly affects your costs. This item of deprecia-
tion, which is considered an overhead expense, is very important
and affects costs in the same manner as direct labor charges.
Depreciation charges should be made in poor and in good seasons
for in the wind-up you are ahead or behind in proportion to the
record you have kept of your depreciation charges.
Third: Railroad construction and railroad maintenance must
be given very careful consideration. The cost of building a rail-
road depends upon the character of the country through which
the road is to be built. In a mountainous country, where heavy
cuts and fills are to be made and many streams to be bridged the
cost is very great, whereas in a level country the laying of ties
and steel is about all that is necessary unless the ground should
be soft, and in that event provision must be made for a firm road-

that your costs arc in line with other mills it is not necessary for
yon to take less for your lumber than it cost ,vou, for by so doing
yon are bringing ruination to yourselves and at the same time
demoralizing the industry in which you are engaged. It is not fair
to cut prices below the cost of production and it is not good

sheet be ypur guide in iletermining your sales and never sell below
the average cost of produclioii. in cillier words, make your average

^^JEI
77ie ^^Caterpillar'' Trailer
IT is interesting to note the progress which has been made dur-
ing recent years as a result of the educational advantages and
experiences learned from the armies overseas. The war with its
terrible cost and its gruesome results has accomplished one impor-
tant measure — the rapid progress of mechanical appliances.
A great deal has been written about the ' ' Track Laying ' ' type
tractor, which was originally conceived as an agricultural unit, and
was later developed by the military engineers, who realized its
advantages as a military weapon. The complete success of tlic
tank lead to the adoption of the "Artillery" model tractor, and
this was used extensively and with great success in hauling heavy
guns and supplies to the front.
With the return of peace the lessons leurned about tractors dur-
ing this great conflict were utilized by the progressive and ever
alert hardwood industry. The year of 1919 saw the introduction
of the "CATERPILLAR" tractor as an emergency equipment for
skidding and hauling logs. These tractors have completely proved
their value, primarily because the autumn and winter of 1919 saw
an unprecedented amount of rainfall in the south. The woods,
which were always difficult to log, became almost impossible. Over
night they were turned into an impassable sea of water and mud.
Skidding and hauling by oxen and mule teams was practically
impossible, and every reader of the Hardwood
Record doubtlessly knows the value which these
tractors proved to be.
The one drawback, and obviously an obstacle which
had to be overcome, was the trailer question. Al-
though it was possililr hi vnU-r the low lands, the
swamps and bogs,
with the tractor,
round wheel trailers
mired down and
hopelessly buried
themselves up to
the hub and, in
many cases, to the
bunks.
The experiences
of the practical
1 u m b e rmen, who
have operated trae-
t o r s successfully
under adverse con-
ditions and who
"Clo5e-iip" of a "Caterpillai" Trailer in Action
have continuously been handicapped by the
inability of the wheel trailer to follow the
tractor, has lead to the introduction of one of
the greatest pieces of equipment ever offered
the logging industry, and particularly the hard-
wood division.
The HOLT MANUFACTURING COMPANY of Peoria, 111., has
recently announced the completion of the "CATERPILLAR"
trailer. All of the manufacturing principles and designing fea-
tures which have made this particular make tractor a success in
the woods are incorporated in the construction of this trailer.
This trailer has shown the following general specifications:
MAIN FRAME: Structural steel, hot riveted, laterally braced.
TRUCKS: One truck on each side, free oscillating type, carried
on tubular axle; no spring mounting.
TRUCK WHEELS: Three in each truck, chilled grey iron,
equipped with Hyatt Roller Bearings.
TRACK IDLERS: Two on each truck, all interchangeable,
flanged type, rear mounted rigid to truck frame and the front
adjustable. Equipped with Hyatt Roller Bearings.
TRACK: Cast steel link, 11" wide, solid type.
BODY: To be furnished by customer.
GENERAL DIMENSIONS: Maximum overall length, 13' 4";
maximuni overall width, 79"; maximum overall height, 27"; cen-
ter line to center line of tracks, 62"; width of track, 11"; ground
clearance, 14"; height of drawbar from ground, 17"; length of
ground contact, 48"; ground pressure per square inch, when loaded,
12.5 sq. in.; carrying capacity, from 3 to 5 tons; weight of trailer,
3,340 pounds.
The editor of this department believes
the introduction of this trailer will fill a
long felt want in
every logging camp.
This is particularly
true in such cases
where operations
are to a great ex-
tent confined to low
lands.
Without regard to
the value of this
new trailer, it is
most interesting to
sec the reasons and
the causes which
have lead to its de-
velo])ment. First,
the experiences of
the ,inuy officers in
the " F 1 :i n d 0 r s

J''iL-lcls," who found the tractor able to negotiate seemingly inter-
uiinnlilc low lands, only to have their guns mire down. Next, the
Northern anil Southern lofjijers, who experienced similar troulile
wlien atteniiitiiif; to log out low lands and swanijis. It is froiii
tliese two sources and from tlie experiences and lessons which were
learned froln these operations that the " CATKRl'lLliAB " trailer
has been ]ierl"i'ct ed.
Stoppage of Northern Hardwood Output in Sight
The virtual suspension ot flu' iiroductiori of northern haril-
woods, both logs and lumber, within the next sixty days is
forecasted by an analysis of the discussion of operating conditions
which took place at the ipiartcrly meeting of the Northern Hem-
lock and Hardwood Manufacturers Association in Milwaukee, Wis.,
at the Milwaukee Athletic Club on April 27. The majority of the
mills will complete their current season's cut within five to sixty
days of the date of the meeting. All logging has practically ceased
and there will be virtually no summer logging in the northern
woods. Few plans are being made for resumption of logging
next fall and winter and production is likely to continue near
the zero jjoiut until such time as demand shows sufficient improve-
ment to warrant general operations.
Stocks of the first and second grades of northern hardwoods
are extremely low, but there is considerable accumulation of the
common grades.
O. T. Swan, secretary of the association, gave a long statistical
report of production and shipments of lumber during the past ten
years. This indicated that hardwood production in Wisconsin has
been practically normal, but that shipments have been only 25 to 30
per cent of normal up to within the past three weeks. Recently a
demand for building lumber has sprung up which shows a fair
revival of building lumber shipments.
Reports received by the secretary showed that logging last winter
was about three-fourths as great in volume as in the preceding
winter. The members of the association produced 75,000 cords of
hemlock bark for tannin in 1919 and 51,000 cords in 1920. The
estimates for this summer total only 12,000 cords. This is appar-
ently due to the cost of peeling the bark as compared with present
prices that are offered for this commodity. It was stated that the
tanners are not moving their leather stocks rapidly enough, so that
there is no certainty that they will be in the market for the usual
peel of bark.
A. L. Osboru of Oshkosh, Wis., discussed recent lumber freight
rate reductions from the West, pointing out that similar reductions
were needed in Wisconsin and Michigan to make it possible for
local woods to compete in Central States in eastern markets. It
was suggested that the railroads be requested to make a low rate
on lumber and coal for the period of ninety days in order to stim-
ulate building and revive industry.
J. R. McQuillan of Antigo, chairman of the bureau of grades,
reported on the inspection work of the association, tqlling how
the lumber inspectors visit the different plants to bring about
uniform grading.
M. P. McCuUough of Wassau, in charge of promotion and adver-
tising, said that on account of decreased income, all exhibit and
advertising work would have to be suspended during the summer
months and taken up again in the fall. The association has been
advertising hemlock in the country trade papers in Wisconsin and
also birch.
R. B. Goodman of Marinette, outlined a plan under which it is
suggested that a Home Building Council be formed in every city
to consult with prospective home builders, giving them impartial
advice as to the actual situation, present costs and financing. He
said that he had discussed this subject at the Home Building con
ferencc in Kenosha Tuesday evening, April 2(i.

Schultz Reviews Business Conditions
National Piano Manufacturers Association Holds Annual Meeting at Drake Hotel in Chicago
Business conditions of the country are carefully reviewed by
Otto Schulz of Chicago, president of the National Piano Manufac-
turers Association and of the M. Schulz Company, in a report
made at the annual meeting of the association at the Drake Hotel,
Chicago, on May 10. Mr. Schulz also made reference to the labor
situation in the piano making industry, with certain recommenda-
tions; and covered the excise tax and railroad rate problems,
both of which are of extreme importance to the piano makers.
The meeting of the piano manufacturers was held in conjunction
with the giant convention of music trades.
The nominating committee of the National Piano Manufacturers
Association has presented the following names, which were to be
acted upon at the May 10 meeting:
For secretary James T. Bristol of Chicago.
For treasurer Charles Jacob of New York.
For membership committee W. B. Williams of New York; A.
A. Mahan of Fort Wayne, Ind.; Ava W. Poole of Boston; Hobart
M. Cable of La Porte, Ind.; A. Dalrymple of New York.
in part President Schulz's address follows:
"Since last we met in annual convention in February of 1920,
more than a year has -passed, with almost every day showing new
conditions and accompanied by many perplexing problems. In
the words of a recent review, we have lived amid the bickerings
of a contentious world. At the beginning of this period we were
confronted with the scarcity of material and labor, and although
costs and selling prices were both at the highest point, the pro-
duction was far short of the demand. This condition was gradu-
ally altered during the year 1920, until at its end we found matters
entirely reversed; material in excessive supply, labor besieging our
doors for employment, and demand absolutely non-existent. These
later conditions have continued to prevail and promise to remain
w^ith us, though in possibly a lesser degree, for some time to
come.
"The severity of general business depression is reflected In fig-
ures of bank clearings showing nearly 25 per cent less than last
year's figures. The slowness of readjustment in prices and wages,
both in the vast steel industry and in the railroad field. Is a potent
factor in holding back any quick return to normal conditions.
Foreign trade Is languishing, although the balance continues
favorable to us, amounting in the eight months to March to over
two and one-quarter billion dollars, as compared with slightly
under two billion dollars for the same period last year. There
are, however, unmistakable signs which reflect coming improve-
ment in the situation and give promise of a definite, if slow,
betterment in all branches of trade. The decline in borrowings
by member banks, coupled with an influx of gold to the amount
of about $125,000,000 thus far in 1921, has brought about an
increase in the Federal Reserve Bank reserve percentage from
about 43 to around 53. The credit strain is relaxing and the
tendency towards easier money is clearly apparent. Unemploy-
ment is diminishing. The buying power of the country does not
seem to be waning, but on the contrary retail trade is excellent.
".As to the labor situation: At the time of the last convention,
several manufacturers in New York and Chicago were working
under an agreement with piano makers* unions. 1 am pleased
to state that there are no such agreements in operation now in
Chicago, and I know of none on the part of any piano manu-
facturer connected with this association. The members of this
association are now able to operate with the full rights of American
citizenship. 1 recommend that a resolution be passed at this con-
vention adopting the declaration of labor principles of the National
Association of Manufacturers of the United States of America.
"Without Intending to anticipate the report of the committee
on vocational training, I would strongly urge the members of
this association to give some thought to the training of piano
makers in a way necessary to preserve the skill of the industry.
"A recent Federal Reserve report says, 'Business is feeling the
weight of heavy taxation, for not only are the federal and >t,.ti,
taxes to be reckoned with, but additional income is necessary to
practically all of the municipalities, because of higher costs of
administration and the elimination of revenues which formerly
came from liquor licenses and other sources.' But as if all this
were not of itself sufficient, our Industry during the past year has
had to bear the crushing pressure of an excise tax, which the
government originally levied as a war measure but has seen fit
to continue into the present year of peace. Your officers, together
with the officers of the Chamber, have worked hard with the
previous Congress and more so with the present to remove this
unjust tax on our product. A brief summary of the present sit-
uation of their fight on this question may be found in the Monthly
Bulletin No. 10 of the Music Industries Chamber of Commerce.
In this report the Chamber advocates the passage of the Smoot
bill, and says, 'The Smoot bill is to a large extent in accordance
with the recommendations made by the Chamber's legal com-
mittee in its report on Federal Tax Revision, which has formed
this basis of the policy pushed energetically by the Chamber
during the last few months. It provides for a one per cent tax
on the sale of all goods, wares, and merchandise, and eliminates
a large number of the war time excise taxes, including that on
musical instruments.'
"Our traffic committee will analyze the present railroad sit-
uation, which has been very hard on every branch of trade. The
recently advanced rates are too high to permit transportation
costs to be easily absorbed in general competition. The effect,
unless a remedy Is speedily found, will be to confine business to
local territory, since the cost of transportation into territory
where similar local production exists will prohibit the possibility
of meeting such local competition. When a New York miller can
have a bushel of wheat shipped to him by steamer from Argentina
for a third of what it would cost to bring it by rail from Minne-
apolis, and when cottonseed cake can be shipped from Texas to
Holland more cheaply than from Texas to Kansas, 'something is
wrong with transportation charges,' declares one spokesman for
the farmers of the Middle West. President Harding is giving deep
thought to the railroad situation, and it will be remembered that
he said in his message to Congress: 'Freight-carrying charges
have gone higher and higher, until commerce is halted and pro-
duction discouraged.' Naturally the high cost of rail transporta-
tion makes it Impera'lve to develop for use every possible water-
way. But this point will be covered by the report on Internal
Waterways, and I shall therefore refrain from going into that
subject.
"The chairman of the committee on conservation of national
resources will discuss the question of forest preservation. 1 can-
not too strongly urge our members to acquaint themselves with
the opportunities offered by the Forest Products Laboratory of
the U. S. Forestry Service at Madison, Wisconsin. This labor-
atory is supported by the Federal Government, exists solely to dis-
cover the best ways and means in all kinds of use of woods, for
the benefit of manufacturers and commercial users. It has ex-
perimented and obtained thoroughly practical and scientifically
accurate results in various problems submitted to its experts by
manufacturers in connection with drying, gluing, sawing, mechan-
ical properties of wood, boxing and crating, veneers, plywood, etc.
This laboratory is conducted as e.tclusively for the benefit of wood
users as the Department of Agriculture is conducted for the benefit
of the farmer. If its services are freely called for, the government

Glues and Their Resistance to Steam
*'Can you tell us what glue will resist the action of steam?"
This is a question which a large manufacturer of quartered
oak veneers recently asked HARDWOOD RECORD.
The following reply to the question was written by one of the
leading authorities of the country on glues:
"The answer to the query as to what glue will resist the action
of steam must depend on how long the glue is supposed to with-
stand such action. Strictly speaking there is no glue that will
not be affected by steam. Any of the water resisting glues will
resist the action of steam for a time. How long depends on the
quality of the adhesive and the power of the steam.
"Casein glue having a high percentage of lime will stand up
better than that having a low percentage of lime. The casein
forms the adhesive and the lime the w^ater, or steam, resisting
qualities. But it has characteristics which make it impractical
to use in most wood gluing operations. Then, too, the life of a
silicate of soda joint is short.
"The blood albumen glue is really the best water resisting
adhesive when properly mixed and applied. Best results are
obtained where the fresh blood is used, rather than when the dried
blood is used as a base. Blood albumen glues cannot be used
on thick plies of wood because their efficacy depends on the
action of the hot plates used in the gluing operations. The diffi-
culty in making plywood waterproof, regardless of the glue used,
is on account of the nature of wood. If wood is impregnated
with water it will swell, then on drying it will shrink. As the
result of such action the fibres get torn from the bond and the
plies come apart. The w^ater resisting qualities of plywood may
be greatly assisted by the application of w^ater resisting finishes
to the surface. When such are used and renewed as necessary
the panel may be kept practically v^'aterproof, but this is the result
of preventing the wood from becoming w^aler soaked rather than
because of waterproof quality of the glue.
"There are several formulas for making glue waterproof, but
such mixtures are not practical in ordinary plywood making
operations. They are best adapted to brush w^ork on the cabinet-
maker's bench. One of these formulas is: Mix animal glue as
usual and then add linseed oil in the proportion of one part of
oil to eight parts of glue. If it is desired to keep the glue liquid
add one- ha If ounce of nitric acid for each pound of glue, which
will also prevent the glue from souring.
"Another method is to soak animal glue in w^ater until it swells
as much as it will without losing its shape. Thus softened it is
placed in an iron crucible without adding water. Add linseed
oil according to the quantity of the glue and let the mixture boil
on a slow fire until a gelatinous mass results. Such glue unites
materials in a very desirable manner. It adheres firmly and dries
quickly. A little borax will prevent putrefaction."
Sunken Joints in Furniture Panels
A defect in manufacture known as a sunken joint is sometimes
noticeable in thick panels, especially tops for tables, desks, and
other pieces of furniture. This defect appears as a long, shallow
depression in the surface, and may be very conspicuous when
viewed at certain angles.
In modern practice furniture tops are generally built up of five
plies of wood, consisting of a thick core, cross banding, and faces.
The core is usually made of a number of pieces of lumber glued
together. Investigation shows that the defect in question occurs
over joints in the core stock.
The Forest Products Laboratory finds that too rapid progress
in the preparation of the core is the basic cause of sunken joints.
The wood next to the joint absorbs moisture from the glue and
swells. If insufficient time is allowed between the gluing of the
joints and surfacing of the core, which is the next step in manu-
facture, more wood will be removed at the joints, because of the
greater swelling there than at intermediate points. During sub-
sequent drying and seasoning, greater shrinkage takes place at
the joints, causing permanent depressions.
The remedy for sunken joints is an extension of the seasoning
period between gluing and planing. The proper length of this
period will vary with the thickness and species of wood, and
atmospheric conditions, but it should be long enough to allow
the moisture added by the glue to evaporate or to distribute itself
throLii^h the wood.
Southern Company to Build
1 he Southern Wood Working Company of Birmingham, Ala.,
has acquired a new location and will commence the erection of
a new factory building within the next few days, according to
Thomas C. Dobbs, president of the company. The new plant
will be situated with ample railroad trackage at Helen street on
the Alabama Great Southern Railroad tracks.
The lumber of the buildings has been ordered and the machinery
for the new plant is expected to arrive within the next few^ w^eeks,
it was stated.
The new plant will specialize in the manufacture of cedar chests,
tables, sw^ings and interior decorations. The capital stock of the
company has been increased, and the new plant will be one of
the biggest of its kind in that section of the South.
Next Evansville Market in September
The Evansville Furniture Manufacturers' Association has de-
cided to give another furniture market in Evansville some time
in September, the exact dates of the affair to be fixed later. The
manufacturers were well pleased with their first market that was
given in April, which brought buyers and visitors to Evansville
from twenty-tw^o states and from Canada, Cuba and Mexico and
they believe that the market in September will bring more buyers
to the city and that the sales will be considerably larger than
they were during the April market. The manufacturers are well
pleased at the results of the last market and say that Evansville
received more publicity than she ever had before on any one
proposition. The market will be made a semi-annual event and
it is predicted that it will increase in size and the number of
sales from time to time. The various furniture, chair, table and
desk factories in Evansville are running on an average of from
thirty-six to forty hours a week and in some instances they are
operating as high as forty hours a week. When this time will
be lengthened is not known, but the manufacturers say that
trade has been stimulated some since the holding of the last
market and that they believe there is going to be a much better
demand for furniture during the last half of the present year
than there was during the first six months. As soon as conditions
in the South pick up it is believed there will be a better demand
for furniture. Evansville furniture manufacturers sell a great
deal of their wares in the South.
Grimwood Brothers, corner of Lower First and Vine Streets
at Evansville, Ind., who started in the phonograph manufacturing
business a little over a year ago, have incorporated their company
and will manufacture phonographs on a larger scale than ever
before. The company acquired a tract of walnut timber near
Owensville, Ind., a little over a year ago and has been getting all
the good walnut lumber that they needed in the manufacture of
phonographs. The conipany is turning out a fine line of phono-
graphs in walnut, mahogany and other woods.

Side Studies on Block Boiling
The reason blocks and flitches are boiled and steamed and the
primary purpose back of it all was and is to put them in better
condition for cutting with knives. The same holds true no matter
whether it is blocks for the rotary machine or flitches for the
slicer, the primary purpose behind the practice of boiling and
steaming is that of softening the wood so that it w^ill cut easier
and the cuttings come away in better shape with less rupture and
disturbance in the grain of the wood. Now, however, we are
developing some interesting side studies, some other points of
advantage which may be had from boiling and steaming timber
as a preparatory process for cutting.
For one thing there is coming a realization that the heat of
boiling and steaming has an effect on the wood which plays a
part in its future behavior. In addition to this the heat and the
evening up of the moisture content by surcharging the wood
with moisture simplifies the drying or seasoning process and
makes it more even and positive.
This gives us two interesting lines of side study. One is that
of how to make the best of the boiling process and its results in
the drying out of it immediately after it is cut. It is bringing a
realization too that the drying process should follow immediately
after the cutting process. And because of the fairly uniform
moistjjre content and of the fact that there is free moisture in
the wood it is comparatively easy to standardize the method of
drying and to handle this process with only a minimum of the
iittention to meet changing conditions from day to day.
The big field for scientific study and research work, however,
is in the effect that temperature and excess moisture may have
on the wood structure itself. It seems that high temperature
serves in some manner to fix certain factors in the wood structural
body so that after drying out there is less tendency to swell and
shrink and misbehave than if the wood had not been subjected
to heat in the process preparatory for cutting.
One veneer manufacturer who has watched this closely but has
not studied it scientifically, said in reference to gum that the way
to make it behave after it is dried is to kill it in the process of
boiling in the vats. He claims that experience has taught them
that while they can get wood soft enough to cut with a limited
amount of boiling they find that in the case of gum it pays to
carry the boiling process on longer and raise the temperature
higher, not because it helps so much with the cutting, but be-
cause it makes the stock behave better after it is cut.
If this is a fact and not merely a fancy it opens a big line for
scientific study and research w^ork in preparing blocks and flitches
for veneer cutting. If the boiling can be made to serve another
purpose, that of checking the swelling and shrinking tendencies
after the wood is dried out, then it is important for the industry
to know this and to know enough about it scientifically so as to
be able to realize its full value in the everyday process of pre-
paring wood for the veneer machines.
Laboratory Invents Portable Dryer
The Forest Products Laborat6ry has devised a portable electric
drier for drying moisture-determination disks. It consists of a
sheet-iron box 4"xl3"x6?4", lined w^ith a layer of asbestos one-
half inch thick. The heat for drying is supplied by tw^o 40-watt,
carbon-filament lamps placed in the bottom of the box. Imme-
diately above these lamps is a wire screen on which the disks to
be pried are placed. Ventilation is obtained by eleven holes ^
inch in diameter, six of which are in the cover, three in the back
near the bottom, and two in the front. A cord and plug attached
to the drier make it possible to connect it to any lamp socket.
Inch disks are easily dried in this apparatus in twenty-four
hours. The maximum temperature attained is 230° F., v^rhich is
reached only if the disks are allowed to remain in the drier for
several hours after they are bone-dry. A slight scorching of the
disks occurs under these conditions, but for all practical purposes
this does not cause any appreciable error in the moisture cal-
culations.
The weight lost by the disk in drying is the weight of the
moisture that was in it. This weight divided by the weight of
the dry disk times 100 gives the percentage of moisture in the
stock in the kiln at the time the sample was removed.
This drier is very well adapted to commercial practice. It can
be carried around the plant, and used in any place where a lamp
socket is available. It may be enlarged by increasing the width
and the number of lamps.
Robertson Succeeds Wyman
Philip Wyman has resigned as president and general manager
of the Werner Industries Company, piano manufacturers, at
Cincinnati, O.. and has been succeeded by C. M. Robertson.
Mr. Wyman, who succeeded L. K. Debus as president of the com-
pany several years ago, contemplates entering another field. Mr.
Robertson is well known in the Cincinnati piano business, having
entered the industry when a young man.
Furniture Maker Dies
Albert H. Mitchell, 78 years old, for many years president of
the R. D. Mitchell Company, furniture manufacturers, died at
his home, 3994 Rose Hill avenue, Cincinnati, O., a few days ago.
Mr. Mitchell was a son of the late R. D. Mitchell, who founded
the Mitchell Furniture Company in 1836. After the death of his
father, Albert Mitchell became president of the company. He
held that position until two years ago, when he resigned in favor
of his son, Robert Mitchell.

Terfect Drying ^JHways
Correct drying is the most exacting science in woodworking. It
is consistently accomplished in Wood-Mosaic plants through the
employment of recognized experts and exacting care in selecting
kiln operators. So perfect has the Wood-Mosaic system become
that it is able to furnish veneers guaranteed to specific moisture
content and lumber dried correctly for the purpose intended. Our
veneer and lumber dryers have all been selected after long experi-
ence and painstaking investigation. They are so constructed and
arranged as to be adaptable specifically to the different require-
ments of any kind or thickness of stock. Their operation has been
scientifically checked by laboratory experts and found correct. Four
Textile dryers do the work in the veneer plants — twenty-one mod-
ern kilns in the lumber plants.
Wood-Mosaic hardwood lumber and veneers in walnut, oak and
poplar are always in demand because of selected timber, splendid
manufacture and always perfect drying.

The plant of the Evansville Veneer Company at Evansville, ind..
which started to run full time a few weeks ago has cut its time
again and is now operating only a few days a week, or as orders
come in. The plant of the company located at Mobile, Ala., has
been closed down for several weeks and it is not known when it
will start up again. The Evansville plant is selling more walnut
and oak veneers just now than any other kind.
Leading Woodworkers in Politics
In the city primaries held in Evansville, Ind., on Tuesday, May
3, Benjamin Bosse, democrat, w^ho is now serving his second term
as mayor, was renominated without opposition. Mayor Bosse is
the president of the Globe-Bosse-World Furniture Company and
is associated with a dozen or more large industries of the city.
The republicans nominated J. S. Hopkins for mayor, he having no
opposition. Mr. Hopkins is the general manager of the Never-
Split Seat Company, which is one of the best known industries of
the city. Mayor Bosse and Mr. Hopkins are both directors in
the City National bank here.
Carriage Makers Elect Officers
Officers for the current year were elected at a meeting of the
Cincinnati (Ohio) Carriage Makers' Club in conjunction with an
entertainment. The following were named: F. V. Overman,
president; R. E. Friederich, 1st vice-president; P. J. Zimplemann,
2nd vice-president; Milfor Weiman, secretary; T. Hess, treasurer.
The organization, which is the oldest of its kind in Ohio, voted to
hold its annual outing on June 18.
Jamestown Opens Exposition
The semi-annual furniture exhibition opened at Jamestown,
N. Y., on May 2, and will continue through the month. The ten-
story exposition building, w^hich has floor space of about 100,000
square feet, is filled with furniture. About one hundred furniture
buyers from various sections of the country were present on the
opening day. The display of stock is said to be the finest ever
made in the city. Business is expected to be a good deal less
active than several years ago, w^hen the buyer was pleading for
consideration, and all the factories were rushed with orders, yet
manufacturers are hopeful that sales will be in fair volume.
The Evansville Furniture Manufacturers" Association is ex-
pected to fix the date of its annual summer outing within a short
time. The outing probably will be held either in July or August,
the date to be fixed later on by the executive committee of the
association. George O. Worland, of the Evansville Veneer Com-
pany, is a member of the executive committee. These outings
of the association have been held for many years and members
and their friends always look forward to them.
Globe-Wernicke to Sell Stock
President H. C. Yeiser of the Globe-Wernicke Company, Cin-
cinnati, O., notified brokers and holders of the common stock of
the company that the board of directors desires to be at liberty
to dispose of 1 0,000 shares of 6 per cent preferred stock, author-
ized at the last anual meeting when the proper time comes for
making the proceeds of the sale.
New Talking Machine Company
Articles of incorporation have been filed with the secretary of
state for Indiana by the Latona Talking Machine Company of
Evansville, Ind. The company has a capital stock of $100,000
and will manufacture cabinet talking nnachines. The directors are:
Oscar Grimwood, Thomas G. Grimwood and John S. Scott.
Fire Damages Allen-Eaton Plant
Fire caused a loss of from $7,000 to $10,000 at the Allen-
Eaton Panel Company plant in Memphis on the night of Wednes-
day, April 27. The loss was chiefly occasioned by water damage,
which will necessitate a shutdow^n for from three to four weeks.
The plant is fully covered by insurance.
Silas B. Crocker, one of the founders of the Crocker Chair Com-
pany and other large woodworking interests in Eastern Wisconsin,
died at his home in Sheboygan, Wis., on April 22, at the age of
71 years. He was born in Willsboro Falls, N. Y.. November 12,
1849, and learned the cabinet trade in his father's shop. He went
to Sheboygan in 1853 and in 1866, with his father and a brother,
established the nucleus of the present large Crocker plant, one of
the principal chair manufacturing works in the country.
The Craft Novelty Makers, Inc., is the name of a new corporation
which has been organized at Milwaukee to manufacture and deal
in w^ood, metal, paper and composition novelties and other special-
ties. The capital stock consists of $50,000 of preferred stock and
350 shares of common without par value. The incorporators are:
John H. Roepke, Alfred E. Zschech and William A. Check.
Blum Brothers, Marshfield, Wis., manufacturers of cheese boxes,
veneers and similar goods, sustained an estimated loss of between
$15,000 and $20,000 by fire on .April 29. The blaze is believed
to have originated from defective lA'iring or a hotbox in the blo\ver
system. Buildings, machinery and equipment were badly damaged
and about 100,000 cheese boxes destroyed. Insurance amounts to
about 75 per cent. Rebuilding is contemplated immediately.

A Rapid Moisture Determiner
A method used by the Forest Products Laboratory for determin-
ing the amount of moisture in chips and sample borings from
large pieces of wood requires little equipment and only a few
minutes* times. The moisture content of pulpwood chips can be
found by this method in from 7 to 1 0 minutes.
A specified weight of wood chips, usually 100 grams, is im-
mersed in kerosene in a flask or retort, and the mixture is heated.
The water in the chips changes to steam at 2 I 2 degrees, and goes
out through a glass tube in the cork of the flask, is condensed
by a water jacket surrounding the tube, and caught in a measuring
glass. The boiling point of kerosene being higher than that of
water, all the moisture will be driven off the chips before the
oil vaporizes to any great extent. The oil that does go off in the
form of vapor is condensed and caught in the same graduate with
the water. When the evaporation of moisture is complete, the
oil and water are allowed to remain a few^ minutes until the w^ater
has all settled to the bottom of the graduate. The amount of
moisture in the wood chips is then found by a direct reading.
This method has been checked for accuracy w^ith the method
of weighing samples before and after oven drying, and the varia-
tion found to be less than 1 per cent.
Furniture factories at Tell City, Ind., Jasper, Ind. and Henderson,
Ky., are being operated on part time only as they have been
since the first of the year. The manufacturers in those cities are
of the opinion that the w^orst of the business depression has
passed and that it is only a question of time until trade shows
a marked change for the better.
The Waukesha Manufacturing Company, Waukesha, maker of
furniture specialties, has been obliged to increase its working
force and w^orking schedules to keep pace with the increase in
orders. Every former employe has been invited to return to w^ork,
in addition to which numerous new w^orkmen have been taken on.
Rapid Moisture Content Finder
Christian Janes has been appointed acting superintendent of the
Antigo (Wis.), mill of the Frost Veneer Seating Company, filling
the vacancy caused by the death of A. M. Young. Mr. Janes has
been connected with the plant for more than twenty years, latterly
as general foreman. Louis Lieberman, general superintendent of
the Frost Company, with headquarters at Sheboygan, Wis., spent
several days at the Antigo mill to supervise the change of operative
administration.

will continue its support. If not, that support will be withdrawn. I
am in receipt of recent information that Congress has this year
increased its appropriation by approximately $100,000. It is well
known that the furniture workers. Southern Pine Association,
shipping box makers, and many other associated wood manu-
facturing interests have found the laboratory constantly more
essential to their progress.
"At the request of the director, a memorandum has been pre-
pared for the information of the lumber experts, of the laboratory,
by William Braid White, of the Music Trade Review, in which the
uses of various woods in the different branches of piano making
has been carefully described. It is expected that the laboratory
will shortly issue a report on the subject. This association may
then see where perhaps w^e can advantageously ally ourselves
with the valuable work of the laboratory, which is entirely for
our benefit.
"We have to mourn the loss of no fewer than ten colleagues
and friends. During the year 1920 we were saddened by the
successive deaths of Fayette S. Cable, president of the Cable-Nelson
Piano Co.; A. F. Deenniston of the Biddte Piano Co.; Frederick
L. W. Lohr of Hardman Peck & Co.; Frederick Kranich of Kranich
& Bach: Henry Meyer of the Smith Barnes & Strohber Co.; Fred-
erick W. Chickering of Chickering Brothers, and William Daliba
Dutton of Hardman Peck 6t Co.
"During the present year, Simon Shoninger of the B. Shoninger
(^o., and James Henry White of the Wilcox \ White Co., have
likewise passed from the scene.
"We bow our heads reverently at the names of our departed
friends. They did well their work on earth and their fame lives
after them. 'Death is but the dropping of the flower that the fruit
may swell.*
Chemical Reaction Affects Casein Glue
Although casein glues are highly water-resistant, they ultimately
decompose when exposed to a damp atmosphere for a long time.
For many months studies have been under way at the Forest
Products Laboratory to discover the cause of this decomposition.
The decomposition study is still far from complete, but the
conclusion has been reached that the decomposition of ordinary
alkaline casein glues is not due to the action of bacteria or molds.
It appears to be due entirely to chemical action of the alkali in
the glue. This conclusion is based upon the following observa-
tions :
Increasing the amount of alkali in the glue increases the rate
of decomposition when the glue is kept wet.
Glues containing no sodium hydroxide, although deficient in
some important respects, do not decompose as rapidly' as similar
glues containing sodium hydroxide.
Cultures of molds and bacteria could not be obtained from
decomposed alkaline glues.
Some chemicals which have antiseptic properties are found to
improve casein glue, but this improvement is due to their chemi-
cal action rather than to their toxic properties.
Glues can be completely decomposed in a short time at tem-
peratures above that at which bacteria can grow.
Further work is being directed toward the production of glues
which will resist chemical decomposition and at the same time
be impervious to the action of fungi and bacteria as well as
moisture.
Arrested on Income Tax Violation Charge
Arrests were made May 2 at Goshen. Ind.. on Federal grand
jury indictments, against Benjamin F. Deahl, president of the
1. X. L. Furniture Company of Goshen, Ind.. Charles E. Morrice,
of Peru, Ind., and Willis D. Widner, of .Auburn, Ind., ex-resi-
dents of Goshen and formerly employed by the I. X. L. Company,
charging them with violation of the income tax law. The indict-
ments resulted from prosecution of Morrice by Deahl on a charge
of an appropriation of $50,000 of the I. X. L. company's money.
The indictment against the three men is in two counts, one
charging a conspiracy to commit an offense against the govern-
ment by making fraudulent income tax returns in violation of the
revenue act of 1918, the overt act in this indictment charging
the defendants of having conspired to show the 1918 inventory
of the company to be $91,238.08, instead of the true value of
$132,574.76, for the purpose of defrauding the government. The
second indictment charges Mr. Deahl and Mr. Morrice with an
attempt to evade the income and excess profits tax for 1919,
conspiracy being charged and the overt act alleged, and with
having made a statement of their inventory showing $26,224.16
instead of the true amount of $52,780.97.
Bonds for $5,000 were given by each, bonds for Morrice and
Widner having been signed by William P. Charnly, mayor, and
A. Aitken, both associated with them in manufacturing plants at
Peru and Auburn, and Deahl's bond was signed by his brother,
Anthony Deahl, Harris Oppenheim and Samuel F. Spohn.

The Way to Resume Is to Resume
Few topics liavc been so witlcssly discussed as
tliose liaving to do with iiosl-war conditions, indus-
trial resumption and price re-adjustinenls.
Every theory, idea and ism, however absurd,
ridiculous and impossible, seemingly has found ex-
ponents, who have had only too ready an access to
the channels of printed communication.
Communism, socialism, syndicalism, bolshevism in
their purity and in every range of mixture, and by
every device of camouflage have been served to the
public.
The principal achievement registered has been ex-
pensive, hurtful, unnecessary delay.
One has waited for one thing, and another for
another, the result being that few or none have got
what they waited for — the effect usually being that
where one waited, he enforced a wait upon others.
Where one wheel is not turning, usually the whole
machine is at a standstill.
If everyone waits for everything to get just right,
all will wait forever.
Full activity upon a full progran; with full con-
fidence that all will come out well, is the route by
which to secure the surest, quickest return to com-
plete normality.
The way to get others to resume is to resume
ourselves.
Such is our policy; and we are aiding all our cus-
tomers in this course by superior jjroducts. efficient
service, and a genuine interest always in tilling their
requirements.

News from the National Capital
I (.'oiitiimed pom page 'AD )
nevertheless, certain that there is now sufKeient transportation by
water and ample indication that it will develop further and in-
crease, to warrant the belief that within a comparatively short
time it will reach a point where it will be felt in a serious loss of
tonnage by the rail lines, unless they have available appropriate
measures to meet the situation. There is not that strife and rivalry
that formerly characterized the eo-existenee of these two modes
of transportation to and from the Pacific Coast, but as between
these separate sets of carriers there is that natural and well
grounded fear of each other's ascendency and power, sufficient,
especially in view of the existing movement by water, to warrant
a finding- that there is actual competition at the present time.
Knergctic business competitors in tlieir present struggle for suc-
cess always look beyond the present and are justified in keeping
themselves fortified against each other's activities, even before
the situation becomes serious. It is mainly for these reasons that
the commodity rates have been held to their present level and
largely for these reasons that the carriers .ur nnw djiposing a dis-
turbance of the present adjustment."
Congressman Kelly, of Pennsylvania, has reintroduced in the
House his standard jirice bill, under which independent manufiic-
turers would be allowed to fix the prices at which their products
would be sold in all markets. Hearings have been held on this
bill by the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committees of the
House, and Congressman Kelly will attempt to push the measure
through to final enactment in the present session of Congress.
The purpose of the bill, according to Mjr. Kelly, is "to give the
independent manufacturer with an identified jiroduct, the right
to file his trade-mark or brand with the Federal Trade Commission
as well as his price for the sale to the wliiilcsaliT ami retailer.''
On such tiling, lie would have the right to maintain the price of
his article. "If any person feels aggrieved, that price is too
his article. ' ' If any person feels aggrieved, that the price is too
to the Federal Trade Commission. The Federal Trade Commission
may revoke the right to fix prices, but may not fix tlie price
itself."
This would guarantee fair and reasonable prices all down the
line, Kepresentative Kelly feels, which will protect the consumer.
Protection against profiteering will come through the fact that
when the price is fixed, the articles may never be sold iit more
than one standard price. A way is provided for disposing of goods
by the dealer who may be going out of business, and who may wish
to conduct a s.ilc .It l(i\v [iriccs. He may first offer them back to
the maker at the jirices he paid for them. If the maker wishes,
he may buy them back. If he declines, they may be sold at any
price.
The bill, of i-mirse, uiiul.l ajiply only to goods in interstate coin-
iiLcree. A siiiiil;ir law is in efl'ect in Oregon, .and most of the
Kuropean countries have such legislation and it has worked out
most satisfactorily, according to Representative Kelly.
The practice of giving .in unlimited guarantee against declines
In prices was opposed by Walter Parsons, general sales manager
of the Borden Condensed Milk Company before the Federal Trade
Commission. The Borden Company and 48 other milk condensing
companies intervened in the formal complaint of the Federal Trade
Commission against the Helvetia Milk Condensing Company.
With the exception of the Helvetia, which is opposed to any
limitation in the use of the practice of guaranteeing against price
declines, .ill the other comjianies favor its application to a limited
extent.
It is their contention, as expressed by Mr. Parsons, that, without
iiiiy guarantee against price declines, jobbers will not carry suftl-
cicnt stocks to meet the ilemands of customers.

HARDWOOD RECORD
May 10, 1921
Careful Analysis Shows a Loss of $7.15 per Thousand Feet of Michigan
Hardwood Sold
Durinj; the past few months Hakuwood Recohd has been com-
piling information from various producing sections, for the pur-
pose of actually showing a comparison of production costs to sell-
ing price. As this work is nearing completion the following official
statement is received from the Mieliigan Hardwood Manufacturers'
Association from the office of the president at Cadillac, Mich.,
which gives specific results of a careful survey of manufacturing
costs and sales prices on Michigan woods. The significant relation
of those figures to present hardwood offerings and future price
possibilities is marked. The statement follows in full:
We mite In the press tluring tlie last few months u great deal Iteing
snld about tlie liluh ecist of lunilier and its inlluence upon huikllng, etc.
With this thought In mind the Michigan Hardwood Manul'aiturers' .\sso-
i'iation started a campaign t(» ascertain actual costs of producing liunljer
hy sending out a questlonnalie to its membership listing under sei)arate
beads the various costs tliat should pertain to the department in question,
and from seventeen representative manufacturing tirms, representing a cut
of a little l)etter than one hundri'd Ilfty millions, we received a very com-
prehensive idea. After obtaining the costs it was then necessary to ascer-
tain the percentage of the various species of timber that the forests pro-
duced and also the percentage of grades that each specie produced in
lumber. After obtaining tliis information we applied a test of 1110,000
feet of lumber at values now being quoted by representative manufacturers,
and this result shows that lumber is being ottered to the trade today at

Since 1912, one-third of New York state's factories using wood
have gone out of existence, largely because of the disappearance of
the forests of the state and the removal of the source of the raw
material to the South and "West. The consumption of lumber has
been largely increased in proportion of imports to native growth
lumber, but the use ofveneers has largelv increased.

take to n" i'lto tlie iiiuM iliuliiious details in
addressing you hut will endeavor to point
out a few 1(1' tlic' most serious problems
wliieli iMint'ront (lie members of this (.'on
ffress. I will also undertake to sujtj^est a
remedy. I desire to say, however, tli.it tlie
traffic problems wliiih eonfront tlir li.ird
wood industry tod.ny are more serious anil
far-reaehiny and more intrieate than at any
time ill the history of the Aiiieriean rail-
roads. We must all admit that we .'ire en-
tirely dejiendent uimii the railroads, and it
is to our advantage to see that they prosjicr,
but in order that the members of this Con-
j,'ress may prosper, the carriers must be jire
pared to give .-idoquate service under the
rates and rules that will permit of tlir
widest distribution of your ]irodiicts.
Car Shortage
The lumber industry sulTen-d iiiitnM
losses ilnriiit; the p;ist year, due tn lack of
sufficient car siipjily .•iiul traiis|iortation
facilities. This situation was afiK'avated by priority orders issued
oy tlie Interstate Commerce Commission, givinj; preferential car
supjily to certain commodities. Under the Transportation Act of
1920, the Interstate Commerce (\>mmission was given authority
to make speci.-il rules or orders with resjiect to car service affectini;
any specific commodity. The result was a serious discrimination
against^the hardwood industry in the distribution of equipment.
The welfare and prosperity of this industry require that you should
support a bill to secure the abolition of such legislation as gives
the Interstate Commerce Commission .'lutliority to issue jiriority
orders.
Overcharge Claims
Villi «lio had m;iiiy overcharge claims which anise iliiriiii; the
period of federal control, which thankfully terminated on jMarcli
1, 1!>L'(I, will recall that the Kailroad Administration ruled that
such claims should be tiled with the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion within line ye.-ir after the termin.-ition of Federal control.
This rule was issued only two weeks in advance of the closing ot
the one-year period. If has been my observation th.-it humlreds
of shippers did not h;ive an ojiiuirt unity to protect their interests
by filing such claims with the Interstate Commerce (Vmiiiiission.
The Kailroad Administration has taken the position that such
claims are barreil by the statute of limitation. The question is a
very serious mie. If the Uailroad .Vdmiiiistratiou accidentally
collected more money for transporting your freight than it shoubl
liave collected it would certainly seem that you should have ample
protection in filing your claims. If the Kailroad Administration
<loes not change its attitude, the hardwood industry should insist
that the act be so aiiiiinli'il to extend the time for filing claims
•which accriuil during the period of Federal control to March
a, 1922.

"/ repeat, therefore, that basic com-
modities should have preferential rate

to see the A u^ust 26 advance entirely

You know that every now and then some
theorist comes forward with a new
method of makins rates, but after over
fifteen years of experience in making
rates, 1 know of no better principle for
rate makini; than the simple rule of
what the traffic will bear.
"However, in order tu bring about the
necessary adjustment, it is highly desir-
able and essential thai we have the
entire industry backing our efforts, and
I trust that you will lend your moral
support." — J. H. Townshend.

of .*iOO pounds. A few years ago several
lumbermen, accompanied Viy myself, m.ade a
careful test .is to the actual dunnage used
ill eqiiippiiig flat cars. These tests showed
conclusively tliat the dunnage allowance
should be in excess of 1,0(10 poiiHiIs, and, in
view (if the fact that carriers, generally
speaking, furnish open equipment for their
own convenience, the shipper should be al-
lowed an adequate allowance. A united
industry slioiiM insist th;it the carriers make
the proper .■illowance for dunnage.

Kailroad Administration on .June 25, 1918,

gr.-uited by the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission on August 26 of last year, a plan
was devised for the construction of rates
iMMile oil combination, which in effect sub-
stantially protected the percentage in-
creases. The tariff c:irrying these rules is known as Kelly's 228,
which was issued to expire on June 1 of this year. The shippers
were instructed to present to the carriers all rates which they
desire piiblislied as through rates, supported by information !is to
inoveiiient, etc. The Southern Hardwood Traffic Association have
called attention to thousands of individual rates that the members
w;inteil published, but so far the carriers have not seen fit to pub-
lish any of these rates except in a few i.solated cases. If Kelly's
tariff is cancelled on .lime ] it will mean a radical increase in all
rates maiU" on combination basis. I can say this, however, that
it is not our intention to permit Kelly's tariff to be cancelled with-
out pulilisliing the necessary through rates and protecting the
industry. The carriers have already recommended that the expira-
tion ibite „f Kelly's 228 be extended until Jan. 1. 1922.
Warfield Plan
Mr. S. Davies Warfield, president uf the National Association of
Owners of Bailroad SccuritieSj is now advocating a plan which will
substantiiilly rejdace the Transportation Act of 1920. This estab-
lishes a National Railway Service, and a careful study will show
that it closely approximates the idea of the Bailroad Administra-
tion with regional boards and directors. Senator Cummins has
introduced a resolution in the Senate asking for a general investi-
gation of the railroad jiroblems. Mr. Warfield "s plan will be
thoroughly considered by the Senate committee and careful study
should be given to this plan. 1 do not know of. any shipper who
desires to see any plan adopted which in ;iny wiie follows that of
the United States Kailroad Administration. The Railro.ad Admin-
istration was in operation a little over two years. V\t to the
]>resent time the government has lost by operation of railroads one
billion six hundred million dollars. I noticed in the paper a few
days ago where Director Davis of the Kailroad Administration has
asked the appropriation committee of Congress for four hundred
million dollars, which would make a total loss by the Railroad
Adniiiiisiration in excess of two billion dollars. It is absolutely

Advance in Freight Bates
1 now conio to the most imiiovtant subject which coiit'ront.s the
industry. On .June 2'y, 1918, the Kailroad Adnjinistration permitted
the catrier.s to advance their rates 2.') per cent, with 5 cent maxi-
mum, on lunilier and forest products. This i>lan was devised by
practical (ran.sportation exiierts. :iud while it di<l not meet with
universal apjiroval, at the same time it was absolutely ueeess.'iry
that the advance be fi^r.anted the carriers and the shippers will-
ingly con.sented to these advances, especially in view of the fact
we were actively engaged iu war. However, under the tremendous
increases granted to organized labor, these increases in freight
rates were not sufticiint to pay the operating expenses of the car-
riers, and as a eonse()Uence, on August 2(), li)20, the Interstate Com-
merce Commission iiermitteil increases ranging from 25 to 40 per
cent. The association wliich I represent maintained that if a tax
was to be added to transportation, it should be uniform through-
out the country, and should bear a uniform maximum; that a
straight pi'rcentage advance would be detrimental to the best
interests of the industry. Unfortunately, however, there was a
diversity of opinion between the various brandies of the industry
throughout the United States ;is to how these increases should Ix'
applied, and as a result a divided industry received a straight per
centage incri'ase, but based upon different i>ercentages according
to the several localities or territories. What is the result? Take
Cincinnati as an illustr.ation — there are shippers who subsequent to
August 26 are paying an increase of 40 per cent in their rates to
Cincinnati; another section paying an increase of 33% per cent,
and still another section is paying 2.> per cent increase.
A careful investig.ition shows conclusively, and beyond :i \uv
adventure of doubt, that existing freight rates, as applied to a low-
grade heavy loading traftic, such as h;irdwood forest products, are
ixcessi\ (■ and retard to a verj- great extent, the movement of forest
products. As an illustr.ation of the tremendous increases in freight
rates — from a certain point on the C. & O. r.-iilroad to Norfolk, Va.,
a distance of 400 miles, is 27 cents per 100 pounds. Furthermore,
I was talking to a Innibernian this week, who s(dd a carload of
lumber .at an eastern m.irket, for wliiidi he ri'ceivi'd a delivered
price of $427; the freight rate was .$420. Manifestly, a shipper
can not continue to operate and pay such excessive freight rates.
In presenting our case before the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion last summer, with res])ect to the necessity for a uniform
increase and a uniform maximum, the hardwood industry, or at
least that branch of it that I represent as traflic manager, was
bitterly opposed by the Southern pine interests, who claimed that
their principal competition was from Douglas fir, i^nd that they
would be benefitted by a percentage increase. However, it now
appears that certain members of that industry realize that what is
good for one branch of the industry is good for another branch of
the industry, and that a flat increase should be made without dis-
crimination. I was most pleased with a speech made by Mr. A. L.
Cl.ark, president of the Southern Pine Association, at the meeting
of that association in New Orleans receutly. Mr. Clark said:
"There is no such thing as being neutral between right and wrong.
I know no philoso])hy of life nor creed nor rule of conduct in human
affairs between single individuals or en masse, i-xcept the Golden
Rule of eternal right and .justice to all, and being of the faith that
nothing is settled until it is settled right, little difliculty will be
encountered in determining the true cause. The real big thing in
which we should all be interested today is to get a united industry
behind the troublesome .md far-reaching transportation problem.
There is always a plane on which reasonable men can get to-
gether." Mr. Clark made this statement after he had stated that
l)usiness is halting under excessive freight rates, which. .13 applied
liv the Interstate Commerce Commission, were wrong in principle
and unsound.

wood Traffic AsMoeiatioii, to |(etitioii tin- Interstate Commerce Com-
mis.sion to cancel the advances of August 26, 1920. This action was
taken after the industry had communicated and lield a conference
with the principal producing carriers of the entire hardwood scC-
tion. Wo frankly admitted that they were working under tre-
mendous handicaji, and accordingly offered our support in assist-
ing tlicin in having the national agreements, which had been
fastened on them during the Kailroad Administration period, abro-
gated. Wo took an active part in having these national agre;-
melts rescinded, writing thousands of letters to every commercial
organization in the United States. These agreements will be abol-
ished on July 1, anil will leave the carriers free to make their indi
vidual contracts with their own employees, according to the con-
ditions that govern in any particular section of the country.
We are making rapid strides in our effort to bring about the
neeessary readjustment. The new administration at Washington
feels that some adjustments are necessary. The question is how-
to provide adequate revenue for the carriers, and, at the same time.
permit the free movement of coniTuoditics. In my opinion, there
should be preferential rate treatment for essential commodities.
In other words, basic commodities, like coal, lumber, ore, etc.,
should have relatively lower rates than the various miscellaneous
commodities, which are of higher value. Take shoes for instance.
If you would add .$200 freight charges to a carload of shoes it
would make very little difference in the selling price of shoes. In
one of the western tariffs which I recall there are hundreds of less-
than-carload rates published on specific commodities which should
move on class rates. I repeat, therefore, that basic commodities
should have preferential rate treatment, and I would not be sur-
prised to see the August 26 advance entirely suspended so far as
heavy movement, low grade commodities, are involved. You know
that every now and then some theorist comes forward with a new
method of making rates, but after over fifteen years of experience
in making rates I know of no better principle for rate making than
the simple rule of what the traffic -will bear. However, jii order to
bring about the necessary adjustment it is highly desirable and
essential that we have the entire industry backing our efforts, and
I trust that you will lend us your moral support.
Hoover on Freight Rate Relief
IT is interesting ami extremely encouraging, to discover that
no less a personage than Secretary of Commerce Hoover sup-
ports the basic principles in the fight of the hardwood lumber
industry, particularly the southern branch of the industry, to
secure relief from the high percentage advances in freight rates,
which threaten to destroy commerce in the lower grades of hard-
woods. That Mr. Hoover does this will be shown by putting
together certain statements which he made on April 29, in analyz-
ing the problems of American commerce and industry, and state-
ments made by J. H. Townshend, secretary-manager of the South-
ern Hardwood Traffic Association, before the Appalachian Log-
ging Congress in Cincinnati on the day before. Mr. Hoover said:
I conceive that the continued use of an emergency horizontal
basis of rate increase can be seriously questioned. I believe an
examination of the rate-making structure of this country will show
that it was based fundamentally on charges varying to a rough
c.Ktent with the value of commodities. This method was modified
by competition, and by the deliberate policy of the railways to
stimulate local industries and local production. Horizontal rate
increases have thrown the relativity of these rate scales out of
gear, both as to value of commodities and zones of distribution.
The increase of the rate may amount to 5 per cent on the shipper's
value of some commodities and 80 per cent on others.
Our great industries have grown up in the supply of the cheapest
transportation in the world for their basic raw materials, with a
higher differential on their finished products. We have many com-
plaints of the h;irilsliip worked by the upset in ratio; complaints
that it is readjusting the commercial and industrial map of the
United States; complaints that in some industries the charge can
be passed on to the consumer, while in others, such as agriculture,
it falls largely \iyi\n the producer; and complaints that it is stifling
production. '
It appears to me that, even though the same total income
must be earned by the raihvays, there must be a commodity and
class readjustment in rates, both in the interest of the community
and the railways themselves. Such a readjustment of rates was
indeed forecast by the Interstate Commerce Commission as a neces-
sity at the time of the last horizontal rate increase. We must also
look forward to ultimate reduction in rates if the economic levels
of the country are to find an equilibrium.
We will now quote Mr. Townshend, and you ^vill no doubt readily
observe the parallel between his contentions and Secretary
Hoover's opinions:
The association which I represent nuiintained (referring to the
fight againstthe August, 1920, advance) that if a tax was to be
added to transportation, it should be uniform throughout the coun-
try and should bear a uniform maximum; that a straight percent-
age advance would be detrimental to tlie best interests of the
industry.
Then further:
A careful investigation shows conclusively, and beyond perad-
vcnture of doubt, that existing freight rates, as applied to low
grade, heavy loading traffic, such as hardwood forest products, is
excessive and retards to a very great extent the movement of
forest products.
Tn my opinion there should be preferential rate treatment for
essential commodities. In other words, basic commodities, like
coal, lumber, ore, etc., should have relatively lower rates than the
various miscellaneous commodities, which are of higher value.
Take shoes, for instance: If you should add $200 freight charges
to a carload of shoes it would make very little diffrence in the sell-
ing price of shoes. In one of the western tariffs, which I recall,
there are hundreds of less-than-carload rates published on specific
commodities, which should move on class rates. I repeat, there-
fore, that basic commodities should have preferential rate treat-
ment, and I would not be surprised to see the August 26 advance
entirely suspended so far as heavy movement, low grade commod-
ities are involved.
Consideration of these U\o statements suggests that Secretary
Hoover and Mr. Townshend have perhaps hit upon the happy and
only solution of the grave rate problem. It seems evident that the
railroads can not afford to reduce the aggregate charge for service.
But is it not entirely practical to reduce rates on commodities, such
as lumber, which have assumed "more than the traffic will bear,"
and offset this by further increasing the rates on commodities that
have not yet received the full measure of their rate burden? Cer-
tainly this must be done, for the present rates on lower grade
southern hardwoods are nothing less than confiscatory. This was
illustrated by Mr. Townshend in the address from which we have
just been quoting. "As an illustration of the tremendous increase
in freight rates," he said: "From a certain point on the C. & O.
railroad to Norfolk, Va., a distance of 400 miles, is 27 cents per 100
pounds. Furthermore, I was talking to a lumberman this week,
who sold a carload of lumber at an eastern market, for which he
received a delivered price of .$427; the freight rate was $420. Mani-
festly, a shipper can not continue to operate and pay such excessive
freight r;ites. "
These examples could be multiplied, ad infinitum.

grade proposition. Dinu'iision stock is lumber refined to its liiKhost
utility and greatest economy. Dimension stock is lumber with the
destructive wastes eliminated. Most dimension stock grades
higher than any comnuTcial grade, especially in hardwoods. It is
true that the great bulk of all dimension can be manufactured
out of low grade lumber, l.ut tlie dimension itself is ordin.nrily top
grades.
-. That dimension stock is a low grade manufacturing proposi-
tion. This mistaken belief is so firmly fixed in the minds of the
production staff that, iu many cases, mental stump-pullers will be
useless. Nothing short of a funeral, or a flock of funerals, will
correct this evil. We are in possession of all the necessary data
to prove that the chief reason why most attempts heretofore to
salvage the obvious wastes of lumber operations by manufacturing
dimensions stock have failed is because the producer did not
realize that the manufacture of dimension stock is a much higher
and more difficult production problem than sawing logs.
In order to get this matter vividly before you, we are submitting
a photograph of a lot of squares. These were manufactured by a
concern that stands second to no other, as producers of accurately
manufactured lumber. I know of no mill with better mechanical
equipment. Yet study this picture. Can you find a single square
in the lot? If you do, most likely the other end would prove to be
some other shape. The writer has had most unusual opportunity
to investigate this phase of the question, and he wishes the reader
to understand that this picture does not represent an unusual case.
3. The third mistaken idea is that the curing of dimension
stock involves the same factors and methods as curing plank lum-
ber. In this connection, it is to be said that the Association of
Wood Using Industries has secured the assignment of a specialist
from the Forest Products Laboratories to give this problem the
same attention that has marked their handling of the problem of
kiln drying lumber.'
4. The fourth mistaken idea is that the problem of properly
handling and grading dimension stock is not a basic condition of
success. Nor is this a simple problem. One of the main tasks in
the Program of Standardization is to determine how this stock
can be handled economically on grades. Many a permanent cus-
tomer for dimension has been killed off by receiving a car in which
grades, sizes and kinds were dumped, in one chaotic jumble.
III. — Three Indispensable Requirements for Production of Dimen-
sion Stock
Standardized dimension stock requires the manufacturer to put
new meaning into the word "accuracy." The production penalties
against inaccurately sawed dimension stock are very much greater
than those which apply to mis-sawn lumber. In most cases mis-
sawn dimension has little or no salvage value. Oversize, not infre-
quently, will be found an objection of considerable importance to
the wood user. It is always a serious loss to the producer.
Years ago, when the new standards of accuracy were coming
into vogue, an- old-time macliinist came along and watched the
writer finishing a set of drawing dies. After a while he remarked,
"I reckon that a sixteenth of an inch would make quite a bit of
difference on the fit of those dies!" I reckoned so myself. Today
there are not a few woodworking plants who work to limits of
.001 at a fixed humidity. Eelative to general practice in manu
facturing plank lumber, a corresponding increase in accuracy is
called for in manufacturing dimension stock.
The second requirement is speed. Dimension stock must be
handled fast. In some of the old-time dimension mills "down
east," which have specialized on spool bars (from which thread
spools are turned) for many years, it is no uncommon case for a
gang of nine men to saw and pile 8,000 feet of dimension squares
per day, as an average for the season. This includes removing the
edgings and waste. There is all needed experience to show that it
is possible to produce accurately sawed dimension stock at high
production speeds.
The third requirement is economy. Attention has already been
directed to this point in the opening paragraphs of this article.
The cost of unnecessary kerf, of careless layout of cuttings, of
unnecessary oversize, of mis-sawing and of oiis-handling are enor-
mously greater than corresponding faults in commercial lumber.
Furthermore, to handle dimension economically for botli the pro-
ducer and tlie consumer, it will probably be necessary to go to some
expense to separate grades and lengths and sizes, and to bind
these in secure, separate bundles. All these precautions and care-
ful methods cost money and must be paid for, with a reasonable
profit, by the buyer. But dimension stock is worth more to the buyer
than clear lumber in the plank in nearly all classes and grades. If
it is the duty and privilege of the lumber associations to educate
and encourage their members to manufacture dimension stock,
which is as good and as standard as wheat or gold, it is equally
the duty of the Associations of the Wood Using Industries to
educate their members to the economic value to them of stand-
ardized dimension stock, so that their buyers will recognize and
pay the higher values that lumber in this form represents, as com-
pared with commercial lumber.
The Wood Users' Problems
The wood users have liad the opportunity of reading this dis-
cussion from a lumberman's point of view. Tlie purpose of the
next paper is to discuss the same problems from the wood user's
viewpoint. It will then be the privilege of the lumberman to
reciprocate.
Lumber Trade Customs
Editor's Note: The decision which follows is published through
the courtesy of the American Wlwlesale Lumber Association, and is
the result of a judgment rendered by the Arbitration Department of
Unit (issociation. These decisions will appear regtdarly.
Terms to Wholesalers
THE FACTS — The Buyer, a wholesaler, placed an order by mail specifying
thereon "Usual Terms." The Seller acknowledged receipt, specifying terras
as follows :
"Terms : Net 60 days, or 2 per cent cash discount on net amount after
rUxiucting freight charges for payment as follows : 30 per cent net amount
15 ilays from date of invoice, linal settlement 5 days after arrival of car."
No objoction was made by the Buyer and shipments were accepted as
invoiced, under the terms of the acknowledgment. The Buyer failed to
settle until several months after arrival of cars, but offered to pay interest
for all extra time taken after the net due date.
THE DISPUTE — The Buyer contended that the 60 days "tree time"
should date frora time of arrival, and the Seller, that same should date
from date of shipment. Each based his contention on trade custom with
respect to "Usual Terms" to wholesalers and the consequent construction
that should be placed on the indetinite expression "Net 60 days" used in
the terms specified in the acknowledgment.
THE DECISION — The terms of settlement specified in a contract must
be considered as much a part thereof as is the price and any attempt od
the part of the Purchaser to lessen the cost liy deferring the time of
payment beyond the agreed date Is no more justified than it would be to
reduce the agreed price.
In this case the Buyer was a wholesaler and agreed to settle according to
usual terms granted to wholesalers and, according to trade ethics and cus-
tom, there Is a difference between the terms to wholesalers and those to
retailers. Therefore, and upon the evidence submitted, it is held that the
shipments in question were due net 60 days from dates of shipments and
Buyer should therefore pay interest for all time taken after expiration of
said dates.

Private Service for New Orleans
The Southern Hardwood Traffic Ass.ii iation, through-- the American
Overseas Forwarding Company. Is planning to make special arrangements
for private handling service In the port of New Orleans because of the
rate of 4 cents per hundred pounds allowed the carriers entering that
port by the interstate comnu'rce commission in the form of handling
charges. The association made a strong effort to have the cominIs.sion
suspend tlie proposed rates until tlie subject could he heanl on its merits
but such pressure was brought by Mobile interests, on the allegeti ground
of business lost to New Orleans, tliat the commission declined to defer
action.
Clubs and Associations
I. C. and Y. & M. V. One for Rates
The interstate commerce commission lias ruled that the Illinois Central
ami the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley roads are one and the same for rate-
making purposes and that, where the latter brings raw material into
.Menipliis and delivers it to the former for shipment nortli of this city,
the rates must be constructed on a single line scale instead of on the
.Memphis nbination, according to aiinouni cment of the Southern Hard-
wood Trallic .\ssocintioii.
"nils decision," said .T. H. Towiishend, secretary-manager, "establishes
a principle for which we have l>cen contending for a long while and we
are very inucli gratilied over tlie ruling of the commission."
The decision was handled down in the case of the North Vernon Lumber
C pany et al. vs. the Illinois Central and Yazoo & .Mississippi Valley
roads which involved rates on logs and other forest products moving from
liiiints <iii tlie Yazoo & Mississippi Valley south of Memphis to two dcstina-

Memphis to Have Adequate River Terminals
i'ians are ra]»i<lly going aliead lor adequate river teriiiinals at .Memphis
since the jieople of that city voted overwhelmingly in favor of the issuance
of .$."100. 000 in bonds to provide fiiiHls for the acnuisition of a site there-
for. The government lias agree<i to build the terminals provided tlie city
arranges a proper site and S. 1!. .\ndersoii. cliairiiian of the Memphis
Itiver Terminal Commission, and \V. 1". Schulz. engineer for this body,
are very busy working out tlie necessary arrangements so tliat constrnc-
tinn may begin at an early date.
I'reseiit terminals are used largely for the handling of package freight
but it Is proposed that tli<' new terminals shall Ik' devoted strictly to the
aeeoniiiiodation of car load freight, including lumber, cotton, coal and
other lieavy tratfic. I*umber interests are keenly supporting tlie movement
in the belief that construction of the terminals will make the barge line
operated by the government available for tlie handling of forest products
liy water, thus etVectiuL' siibstantini saving in freiiiht charges.
American Hardwood Directors Meet
.\ meeting of tlie directors of the American Hardwood Manufacturers
.Association was held in Louisville, at the Seelbach Hotel, April 27. it
being an executive meeting, with about thirty in attend.-mce. The morning
was given over to general discussions of conditions, in and outside of the
trade, being of an informal nature, due to the fact that many of the
members were absent, having been held up in a derailment of the Memphis
irain. due in about 8 o'clock in the morning, and not arriving until noon.
Luncheon was served in tlu' middle of the day.
It w.is stated after tlie meeting that otBcers and directors of the a.ssocia-
tion feel encouraged over the way in wliich the appeal on the open competi-
tion plan is working out, it now being before the courts in Wasliington.
R. M. Carrier, president, of Sardis. Miss., presldeii, but following the
ineeting stated that ever.vthing discussed was of an executive nature, and
that there was nothing for publication. There was sonic intorinal dis-
cussion fcdlowing tlie meeting. In which individuals stated that business
was better, but still far from satisfactory, one lumberman stating that
unless demand and price improved it would be doubtful whether more than
l.~i or 20 iiercent of nornial pnxiuction of liardwoods could be figured upon
by .lune 1, as mills are cutting out logs on hand, and clo.sing down, not
l)eing satlslied with prices and movement of low grades, which have been
hard hit by high freight rates.
Domestic Distribution Activities
The National Wholesale Lumber Dealers .Association has heen asked to
cooperate with the Domestic Distribution Department of the Chamber of
Commerce of the Inited States. The chamber has organized its activities
into functions and lines, and a committee on distribution has heen formed
to considiM- the problems of the distributor as they affect industry as a
whole. .\ committee conferenci' was held in New York recently, the
National association being represented by I!ol>ert R. Sizc>r. New York, trus-
tee, and \V. W. Schupner. .secretary, and while it was apparent that lumber
distributing problems differwi materially from those of other industries,
the committee expressed a desire to enlarge its scoiie to include more
directly the lumber industry. The association, through the Committee on
Trade Relations, will submit to the coramittee a statement covering the
distribution of lumber.
This subject will be considered at the annual meeting of the Chamlier
of Commerce to be held in .Atlantic Cit.v. at which the National Wholesale
Lunilxn- Dealers Association will l>e represented by the following delega-
tion : I', i;. Itabcock, rittslmrgh, I>a.. National Councillor : W. H. Schnette,

TIk' .\merlcan Wholesale Lumber Association expects to facilitate the
service to its members by dividing the membership into five general divi-
sions, according to the species of woods dealt in. These divisions are :
.No. 1. Southern Yellow Pine; No. 2, West Coast Woods; No. 3 California
and Inland Empire Woods; No. 4, Cypress and Southern Hardwoods;
Xo. 5, Northern Woods. The members are now being assigned to these
various divisions in accordance with the t.vpe of business handled by them.
When the annual convention of the association is held here May 18-19,
division chairmen will be appointed to supervise and direct the activities
of the various divisions.
Because of the limited number of divisions, it has been necessary to

scarcity of the upper grades of certain species.
A test of an expeditionary airplane made by C. Elias & Bro. of Buffalo
was recently made at Curtiss field, with satisfactory results. The type ot
plane is new, and it is fitted to alight either on the land or the water.
It attained a spee<l of more than 100 miles an hour in this trial and
climbed 1,000 feet in two minutes.
Word comes from New Y'ork that the effort ot the Erie Railroad to make
a charge tor lightering lumber from its docks at .Jersey City to New York
Is not likely to succeed. Such vigorous opposition to it was put up that
the carrier appears to think the matter hopeless. This lighterage has
always been free, and it is stated that only the Erie railroad was sup-
posed to make a charge, but the lumbermen saw all the other roads going
Into it if this one succeeded.
The C. W". Bodge Lumber Company has succeeded to the Sanford-Bodge
Lumber Company here, with main office in the Prudential building. C. W.
Bodge is at the head of the company. N. W. Marshall, who was formerly
connoctoil with the office, is now representing the Pickering Lumber Com-

Lumber Company, speaking of hardwood conditions, said : "There is a
decided improvement in the tone of the trade. Inquiries are more numer-
ous and orders are coming in better from all sources. While there is
still a rather wide range in quotations, yet the extreme low quotations are
not as frequent as formerly."

be a general resumption of logging operations in the camps of southern
West Virginia within the next few weeks. Many ot the mills have been
closed for some time because of accumulation of stock, but a recent reviva*
ot building in West Virginia has served to deplete tliese stocks and condi-

by a jury in the Porter. Ind.. circuit court, at Valparaiso. April :!2. In
the cause of the trial, invok<'s for tliirty-fivc shipments of lumber made
by Sinclair to the Rumely Company were introduced by the state, in which
it was allegetl the invoices had been changed. The stati' also contended
that Kdward Mack, now dead, and who was formerly purchasing agent
for the Uuiiiely Company, bought lumber from Sinclair, raised invoices.
and divided profits with Sinclair. The trial had been brought to Valparaiso
on a <liange of venue from I.aporte county, and the jury decided the testi-
mony did not connect Sinclair witii any fraud.
Practical training in forestry was obtaiiie<l at tin- state forest reserve
near Ilenryville last week by twelve students of the Purdue School of
Porestry. headed by Prof. Burr N. Prentice, of the university faculty. The-
students were instructed in held forestry by Charles C. Ueara, forester
under llie state departmenl of conservation. During the week the students
planted several miUi(m seeds in beds, in soil which they had previously
treated with formaldehyde to prevent "damping off" of seedlings from
bacterial disease ; 50,000 white pine seedlings were also planted, and
enough mature trees were calipered to fill and order for 5.O00 railroad
ties. In addition several tracts were also caliiJered to determine the annual
growth on several experimental plots. It is said that Forester Deam is
conducting the largest exiieriment in growing hardwoods ever attempted
ill Ibe T'nited States. There are about 2,000 acres of land in the reserve.
EVANSVILLE
The carpenters and brickla.i'ers of Kvansville after being out for about
two weeks have returned to work and have agreed to submit their wage-
dispute with the contractors to a board of arbitration and this board is
expected to be appointed in a short time and will get down to business.
On the first of April the Evansville contractors announced that they would
cut the wages of all building trades L'O percent and most of the building
trades went out on a strike as a result of this announcement. The painters
refused to accept the cut and as a result the contractors went on the open
shop basis. The sheet melal workers also refused the cut in wages and tin
contractors say they probably will go on the open shop basis in a short
time. As matters now stand the contractors have made all the settlement
with the building trades that they intend to make this year and it looks like
most of the contractors will declare for the "American" or "open shop"
Iilau. With the wage adjustment made it is expected that the month of
May will see a revival in building oi>erations in Evansville and many other
towns in southern Indiana. Little large construction Wfirk in this city is
now under wa.v. but a great deal has been planned for the summer and
fall months. Many towns in this .section have a large building program.
1>. 1!. MaeLaren, formerly engaged in the retail lumber business in this
city, now located at Indianapolis, was in Kvansville a few days ago calling
on the local trade. Mr. -MaeLaren formerly was president of the Evansville
Liimln'rmen's Club.
'I"lie Reel-Ulue Lumber Company at Petersburg. Ind.. a few miles north of
i:vansvllle, has started work on its new lumber plant that will be 50 by 100
feet. The company also will build a new switch from its plant to the Pig
Pour railroad, a short distance away.
Owners of planing mills and lumber vanls at .\uder.son, Ind., announced
a few days ago that they had decided upon a 10 percent reduction in the
wag(^ of their men. Foremen in the plants were reduced from 75 to 65
cents an hour and other employes were reduced from 05 to 55 cents.
It is expected that the logging camiis along Green and P.arren rivers in
western Kentucky will show increased activities before long. Few logs
have been .gotten out along these rivers during the past two or three-
months for the rca.son that the saw mills in Evansville have not been run-
ning on steady time and have not been in the market for any logs to speak
of. The Oreen river country still has a valuable timlx^r supply and most
of the logs cut in that section are rafted here and use<l by the local mills.
The plant of the Grayville Mill and Lumber Company at Grayville, III..
a few miles west of here, after being closed down tor several weeks, has
resumed operations again. Tlie company has been getting a good many

The Knceland-.McLurg Lumber Company of Phillips is pushing work on
the construction of a new sawmill at Morse, which is the central point
of large tracts of hardwood and softwood timber actjuircd some time ago.
The company has about two or three years' timber sui)ply remaining at
I'hilllps and will then transfer the major operation to Morse. The new
mill will be ready to start cutting logs by early fall and the capacity will
l)c gradually increased until the operations at Phillips come to a close.
The Dlekmann Manufacturing Company ot Green Bay has recently filed
amendments to its articles of incorporation, providing for an increase In
the capital stock from $6U,000 to $100,000. At the same time the cor-

pany.
The Northern Sash and Door Company of Hawkins has been granted a
charter to engage in the general woodworking business. Tre capital stock
is $50,000 and the incorporators are Jens Jesdahl, O. L. Holtz and K. J.
Elllngson. who represent a group of Hawkins business men who are financ-
ing the enterprise. It is proposed to start work about May 20 on the
construction and equipment of a new mill and factory which will cost
about $40,000.
The plant of the Tomahawk Steel and Iron Works at Tomahawk was
almost totally destroyed by fire early Thursday morning, April 21, caus-
ing a loss estimated at nearly $75,000, with insurance of about 40 per cent.
It is believed a locomotive si)ark ignited the warehouse and the blaze com-
municated to other buildings when the waterworks failoil. The Tomahawk
company is one ot the oldest and best known concerns in the North, manu-
facturing and repairing logging, saw and planing mill and general wood-

departments. The owners are planning to rebuild without delay, as the
company has large orders requiring normal capacity output for several
months forward.

CHICAGO
The demand for hardwoods in this market has undergone quite a notice-
able improvement during the last fifteen days. Furniture factories and
other users of higher grade hardwoods are getting into the market to
cover their needs, fearing lest the shortage of FAS stocks may soon make
it impossible to secure what they must have. The increasing scarcity of
FAS grade of all hardwoods, both northern and southern, is causing a
flrming ot prices, even to No. 1 common. Flooring, sash and door and
box factories are buying.
BUFFALO
The hardwoo<l demand is a little more active than a few weeks ago, but
trade is far from being as brisk as it sometimes is. The chief optimistic
feature of the situation is that distress lumber is getting off the market
and wholesalers think it will be still less a factor a few weeks hence. Con-
cerns which have been making a specialty of such stock for the past few
months now have a good deal less than formerly, and they are not making
as low prices as a month ago.
.■\t the same time there is lack ot strength in most woods, with a good
many sellers looking after the same order oftentimes, and the consumers
are dlsposcMi to shop around much more than formerly before purchasing.
No very active market is looked tor in the near future, as it is said that
business conditions will have to right themselves still further before there
Is likely to be any big trade developing. Some increase in the flooring
demand has developed and building seems to be slowly increasing in this
territory.
BOSTON
It is unfortunately a fact that improvement in the hardwoods trade in
this city and in New England is not what the trade had hoped for and
expected. But that there is an improvement as each week goes by and
that the market is constantly getting a little firmer are facts of which
there can be no doubt. While improvement is not as great as was hoped,
the fact that there is a growing increase in trade satisfies hardwood people

here things are on the mend. It is true that this improvement con-
tinues to ne unetiunlly distributed. Some are really having a surprising
improvement in demand and inquiry, considering general conditions,
whereas others fail to note any bettering in their business. The strike
of the building o|)cratives is still on, a fact which ties up practically all
new constr\irtion work in and about this city, and has done so since .Ian.
23 last. While directly allecting only the interior trim business, a fifth
or sixth of the total business here, it inuireetly has had riglit along a poor
effect on the market. But the chief field of hardwood consumption here
is with the manufacturing consumer, and It is with him that the Improve-
ment in demand and inquiry are being noted. This improvement is rather
unevenly distributed itself as among the different consumers of hardwoods.
The better demand is noted fnun the hardwood yards and the furniture
people chiefly an<l also the machiner.v makers, who use much poplar In the
plants.
BALTIMORE
There is a {^rowiujc belief among moinbers of the hurdwooil trade here
that some prosress toward more satisfactory conditions has been made
in the last few weeks, and that there is every indication of this progress
being continuous. In addition to the experience of one firm, which stated
that the inquiry was more active, another reported that it no longer was
prepared to accept any offer for lumber which might be submitted. This
firm said it was turning down al>out as many proposals as it accepted
because the prices named were not satisfactory. There has been a stiffening
in the quotations on poplar, for instance, sales made of late being closed
on a basis perhaps $5 higher than the law figure recorded. And further
recovery is confidently expected as soon as the purchasing power of the
country asserts itself in a somewhat more active manner. It is being
more and more realized that stocks of hardwood are not large, what with
many of the mills being operated at greatly reduced capacity. There is, oi
course, no steady stream of business, orders coming in spurts, as it were.
One or two days, perhaps, will bring out a number of them and then quiet
will again ensue, but always wifb yie periods of inactivity shorter and
those of activity longer. What is now regarded as holding back the demand
is the uncertainty with regard to various matters, the seaman's strike, the
threat of other labor troubles, and suspension of work by men in the build-
ing trades, the general hesitancy to engage in operations calling for the
use of lumber perhaps on account of the belief that prices may go lower,
and other similar general causes.
COLUMBUS
There is a marked improvement in the hardwood trade in Central Ohio
during the past fortnight. This is apparent both in increased business and
in a larger number of inquiries from all sources. As a result of the bettei
business a feeling of optimism is exhibited on all sides and it is believed
that the worst of the slump is over. Manufacturers and wholesalers are
of the opinion that there will be a continued improvement during the
spring and early summer.
One of tlie best features of the trade is the larger orders received from
the retail trade. Dealers' stocks are rather low and there is a disposition
to replace them. This is noted lK)th from dealers in the city and in rural
sections. Strongest points in the market are first and seconds, oak, poplar,
chestnut and basswood. Hardwood flooring also shows a marked increase
in demand. l<^actories making furniture are now coming into the market
better. Automobile concerns arc operating with fuller force and are buy-
ing stocks. Implement and vehicle concerns are also making inquiries
preparatory to entering the market. Taking it all in all there is less
caution on the part of purchasers and a disposition to buy for a longer
time in the future.
Prices are more steady, although there is still a rather wide spread.
Some low quotations are still heard, but these are not as frequent as for-
merly. Southwestern manufacturers are holding firmer and this has a
stabilizing effect on the entire trade. Shipments are coming out promptly
and there is a decided improvement in collections. Oak and poplar are
moving well.
CINCINNATI
Hardwoods constitute the one bright field here in the lumber business.
Trade is quite a little improved. Inquiries both from factories and dealers
are being received in larger numbers and a large majority of those received
are live ones. Factories, especially those making boxes, automobiles, im-
plements and furniture, are in the market for small orders. Most of the
dealers who sold hardwoods at low prices are about out of stock, and as a
result the buyers are forced to seek other sources for supplies. What
business is being placed now is benefiting those lumbermen who held this
stock, instead of sacrificing it in order to make sales when business was
slow. Dealers report that the higher grades are becoming more dillirult
to secure and they are predicting sharp increases unless this conditlmi
changes. The best tone since the market took its turn for the better is
manifest through the entire trade. Retailers are showing some activity,
although a few of them are holding out in hopes of lower prices. There is
a general feeling here that if demand continues to increase prices will
go up. Building construction is increasing, but to no great extent because

Itidleatlons point to a steady resuiiiptlon of production ainon^ the wood

hit "t all till' various lines of woodworking industries wei^ the automobile
IhmIv hiilldlng plants and such other jilants as depended upon the auto-
inoblli' industr.v for their demand. These factories, during the past two
weeks, have shown much more aetivit.v. While the increase has not
been what it should have been, llgures at the various plants, judging from
the prodiielion schedules, show that since the low production record ol
some little time back, production has increased nlKiut 1)0 percent. So far
production In these allied lines has not Incri'ased yulte to the point the
automobile production itself has attained, but the factor.v e.xecutives sa.v
it is oni.v a (juestion of time and they are looking for a gradual improve-
ment during the remainder of the summer months. I'lants manufacturing
phonograph cabinets are also increasing their production. During the past
I wo weeks several men interested In this Industry have returned from the
I'last, where most of the product is sold, witli the report that businesi
conditions In the East are much mori' favorable than they were a month
ago. The furniture factories are not doing much. Some have Increased
their pnMliictioii slightly, but in these cases the Individual factory just
happened to he lucky and get sonu? good orders. Taken as a whole, there
is not much Improvement. Box factories here report some improved
demand. This is attrlbute<l to a general quickening of other industries hen
that use the product. I'rices on the uiiper grades of lumber are consld
erably stronger than they were two weeks ago, but prices on the lower
grndes are yet weak, there being little demand.
EVANSVILLE
Tlio hartlwcuHl lunihcr manufacturors of Kvaiisvilli.' ami ^t^utliLTii ludjaua
say tbat lliiTt* is a mm-h better feeling iu the trade than there was a month
a;;ip and Inquiries are incn-asin;; some, but that the actual number of
orders has increased hut little. Manufacturers, however, are looking on
the bright side of the trado picture aud l>elievo that it is only a (juestion
of time until there is a marked imi)n)vement in business. Ttie l>etter grade
stocks are running low, and as many of the mills are clos(>I down and are
not turning out any stocks to speak of, the manufacturers believe that
prices of lumber are going to advance before long, i'ollections are fairly
good and general business conditions are better than they were a mouth or
two ago. Manufacturers are buyiug few if any logs at this time aud iiave
not been in the market for any for a long time. Log prices are rather
liigh. Wood consuming i)lnnts are running on part time, and in fact have
for some time past. These manufacturers say they can see u silver lining
to tlie clouds and they believe that May or .June will witness some picking
n|» iu their trade. Kox manufacturers report they are operating their
plants on part time only.
MEMPHIS
Virtuall.A no progress Is being made with tin* manufactiirt- of southern
hardwoods for the reason that precipitation has been so heavy through-
out the valley territory during the past mouth that all streams are out
"f their banks and that the lowlands are covered with flood or surface
waters, rreeipitatlon for the month in question broke all previous
records for this particular period and it Is not overstating the case to
say that, so far as the more heavily timbered lands are concerned, there
Is "water, water everywhere.'" The vast majority of manufacturers are
closed down because they are unwilling, in the present comlition of the
market, to produce additional lumber, but those firms which are attempt-
lug to run on fresh timber, or which are trying to take care of old logs
to prevent them from .spoiling, are having much dimculty in keeping
their plants iu operation. So far as Immediate logging is concerni'd. this
is practically at a standstill and cannot be resumed for some time. Very
few tiriiis are making efforts to bring out new logs and Iliose which are
attempting anything in this Hue are meeting with scant success.
In the meantime, the volume of business is steadily increasing and
shipments are. unquestionably, considerably heavier than production, with
the result that stocks are on the decrease. In the case of the higher
grades, such shipments as are being made represent almost absolute loss,
for the reason that there Is so little lumber of this grade lu'lng produced.
The percentage of firsts and secomls iu current produ.-tion is extremely
light, and. when It is refleettnl that current production itself is the
smallest ever known at this time of the .vear, it is u.it difficult to see
how little Is being placed on sticks in lumber of this character. Members
of the trade complain of a growing shortage of firsts and seconds and
there Is such general agreement regariliug the shortage of this class of
stock that the ligbtness thereof is accepted as an established fact. There
is also :iu increasing scarcity in Xo. 1 common plain nd and white oak.

rather limited. Speaking generally, tbe supply of southern hardwoods Is
not anything like as burdensome as a short time ago and the feeling of
hardwood Interests Is rather more cheerful.
LOUISVILLE
There has been a very perceptible Improvement in demand for hardwoods
during the month, this demiind now taking in No. 1 common as a result
of firsts and seconds being very scarce and somewhat higher. The furni-
ture trade has been buyins more freely, and with the close of the shows, and
Information as to what and how much lumber will be needed In opera-
tions, buying should he better. Veneers arc also picking up somewhat,
but plywood is quiet. Top grades arc getting scarce, as mills are nearly
all down in the South, or just cutting out logs in hand, and have not
decided to reopen until prices and demand are better. This indicates that
the best grades of lumber will be very scarce shortly, and that lower
grades will come into bettor demand and at better prices. Tbe building
trades are at a standstill, due to labor conditions, strikes in the North and
East, lack of financial backing for building for sales or investment pur-
poses, etc., this resulting in jobbers' demand being but fair, as the demand
for interior trim and hardwood flooring is being checked for the time
being. Poplar siding is improving after a period of dullness lasting some
weeks. Mahogany and walnut are both good, with quartered oak better,
and poplar and gum in very fair demand. Plain oak is more active.
ST. LOUIS
While the volume of trade in structural lumber has shown some increase
in the past two weeks, it has not been enough to prevent further declines
in prices. Building activity is still seriously hampered by labor considera-
tions, but industrial buying has increased somewhat in hardwoods. Most
of the buying, however, is for immediate needs. Railroads are virtually
out of the market and in consequence the prices of heavy timbers cross
ties and car stock have declined more heavily than at any recent period.
About 30 percent of the furniture factories are running full time and
the balance averages about 50 percent of capacity. The past two weeks
has been marked by an increase in inquiries from dealers.
MILWAUKEE
The business which has been placed with hardwood lumber manufac-
turers in Northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan in the last two weeks
to a month is of such volume that it indicates a certain and definite
progress toward more nearly normal conditions In the industry. It Is not
quite correct to say that business is of "volume." for it is lacking In real
substance. However, demand is increasing daily, and while progress is
slow, it is steady and sure.
Requirements generally are in very small lots and remain of a hand-to-
mouth character. The buying whicli furniture factories and other con-
sumers of the higher grades of hardwoods are doing is to replenish stocks,
which have become badly broken and reduced to a point where it has
compelled industries to make new purchases. There is no freedom in
buying, due to that reason. The products of chair, furniture, cabinet,
panel and veneer-using factories are moving better through jobbing and
retail channels, and it is reasonable to presume that as manufacturers'
stocks of finished goods are steadily being brought to a minimum, and
new orders come in, this will he reflected by a broader demand for hardwood
lumber and other stocks of raw material.
New construction is moving forward, but the big Jobs which require
fair-sized supplies of hardwood finish and flooring are confined largely to
public schools, which furnish a healthy requirement. Railroad buying has
not been resumed to any appreciable degree, but the nature and scope of
inquiries from this source is such that confidence is held In a revival within
a short time.
Hardwood manufacturers are pleased over the manner in which the top
qualities are moving, but are still rather disappointed over the slow
absorption of the lower grades. Nevertheless, mill stocks have been reduced
to the extent that mill operations are broadening throughout the North.
HAMBURG
Material improvement of the market conditions has been hampered
by the political atmosphere which is hindering the return of normal eco-
nomical connections in quite a large part of the world. American wood
goods had to suffer from this situation, as buyers were very reluctant to
make any purchases, according to a report made by J. F. Muller & Sons,
wood brokers, Hamburg, Germany.
Arrivals of African and Central and South American hardwoods were
raUior active, while from the United States only some hardwoods logs, no
lumber and only small quantities of pitch-pine were imported. The demand
for black walnut and yellow poplar logs suitable for veneer cutting exists
still to a certain extent, though the most urgent requirements have been
filled out of recent arrivals. American shippers would materially facilitate
business with Germany in according more liberal terms of payment and
not to insist on credits to be opened in the U. S. A., but to present docu-
ments through German banks or American institutes ha'vlng branch offices
in Germany.

Center of Lumber Populatioru
JUST as Indiana has contained the centra cf population for the last two cen-
suses, so South Bend has held unqusst'oned right to its claim as the most
central and conveniently located big hardwood market. Its five trunk line
railroads, its accessibility to all hardwood buying sections and mill districts
have caused many well known hardwood firms to locate here. South Bend
firms handle well over 200,000,000 feet of all kinds of hardwoods annually
and are unvariably of high standing in the industry. Buyers and mill men
can learn many more facts of interest and value to them by writing

That Is Worth
Your Attention
Few Northern operators are as well
equipped as we are to handle large yard
and industrial requisitions. Our fi\e
band mills, cutting 100,000,000 feet an-
nually of Hardwoods, Pine and Hemlock
— in addition to our complete planing mill
facilities — enable us to handle your every
requirement in Northern woods.
The personnel of our organization has
been chosen for unusual practical experi-
ence. These points count strongly to the
discriminating buyer who wants some-
thing quickly. We can always cut special
urdcrs in Hardwoods or Hemlock dimen-
sions. Our specialty is the famous Shaw-
ano County Hard Maple up to three inches
in thickness, and hearts and skid stock
for the industrial trade.

General Market Conditions
TX THE LAST FEW ISSUES this column has definitely allied
1 itself with the conservative optimists and, predicating the opin-
ion strictly upon evidence of progressive accomplishments, has
maintained that the tendency towards betterment is developing. It
is wise to emphasize the unwisdom of jumping at too hopeful con-
clusions from what has developed in the line of improved business.
Hakdwood Eecobd's counsel is that these evidences be laken
strictly at their face value and that such measure of increased
orders and shipments as has so far emerged from the wreckage must
be taken as significant and not as an actual measuring rule.
Hardwood Record has not contended that business is improviuj;
in any groat volume, but has urged that gradual increase in orders
can safely be figured as a sort of a prelude to the long, steady
]irogram and the gradual upward swing in the industry at large.
This counsel has evidently met with the approval of most sub-
scribers, but the possibility that too great emphasis of apparent
improvement in orders might lead to incorrect judgment is shown
by comments which have come in during the past few days. Cer-
tain large buyers now shaping their buying policies have expressed
themselves as convinced of the truth supporting the underlying con-
tentions appearing in this column, but as having undergone con-
siderable change of heart because of quotations eonsi-stently re-
ceived on major items of stock. Buyers' records show a progres-
sive downward tendency, even including the past few weeks and
record the further illuminating fact that northern stocks, which
have consistently held firm, are now showing a disposition to ease
off considerably in the face of an apparent improvement in business.
These facts in the opinion of the editors of Hahdwood Recoud,
but prove the point repeatedly made in this market report, namely,
that the improvement is not so much actual as indicative, but that
we may expect steady advancement along these lines until the
impetus becomes, through increasing strength, sufficiently powerful
to react upon all items of hardwood stocks.
The progress of business might be likened to that of a runaway
train plunging down-grade at a mile a minute. With the applica-
tion of the brakes the train will not immediately stop or reverse
itself. As soon as the passengers feel that it is under control and
■; realize that the engineer is again on the job, their confideiiio will
■ be restored. The momentum, though, would carry the train for a
lung ways on the down-grade while the brakes arc exercising tlu-ir
function.
Present improvement in business might easily be considered as
the brakes which are gradually being applied. The downward
momentum will continue until their grip becomes sutficiently strong
to bring the downward niovenumt to a complete halt. At that point
it requires only the a]iplieation of a little more steam to climb back
up the hill.
Thus might be easily explained the continued downward tendency
of prices in the face of apparent improvement in business. There
can be no question as to the gradually increasing number and vol-
ume of orders. Such records are common to all parts of the coun-
try. Still the slump in business has been so severe and so long
maintained that continued offerings of distress stock have been
inevitable. It is unfortunate that the major hardwood region is
located in the heart of the cotton country, for the excessive extent
of cotton financing has been largely responsible for the financial
difficulties which many hardwood operators have faced. In fact,
it is quite within the realm of possibility that hardwood prices
would have maintained a much greater degree of strength had
hardwood operators not been compelled to combat with cotton
financing. In the same way the continued seriousness of the cotton
situation is responsible for the continued offerings of distress
stocks. Also the easing off in quotations on northern hardwoods
is directly traceable to the same influence. In other words, the ter-
rific price comiietition with southern hardwoods has been stoically
met uji to the point where it has threatened the almost entire elim-
ination of purchases of northern hardwoods in competition with
southern. Thus the price concessions which in general are made
deliberately and with a specific purpose in mind, namely, that there
might be preserved for the northern woods a certain percentage of
the markets which they normally enjoy and the loss of which has
been threatened by the ruinously low prices on competitive southern
material.
So while the brakes of increased orders are being apjilicd, it can
not be exi>ected that they will immediately check the downward
tendency. They are, though, taking hold: a conclusion easily de-
duced from the fact that firsts and seconds hardwoods are already
coming back. Bona fide sales in this grade have been made at
actual advances of from six to eight dollars. Millmen are repeat-
edlv coming to the resolve not to sell firsts and seconds except with
No. 1. The wedge has been driven with the improvement in the
firsts and seconds markets, an influence which is beginning to favor-
ably act ui"in the succeeding grades.

Now it rmist not lie foifjottcii tliiil what imiirovi>iiieiit lias coinc
ilivoldpid In till' face of almost total staKiii'tioii in one of tlir
gicati'sl Mouri-cs of initlet for hardwoods — bnililiiig. It hci-oincs
evident that bnildiiig construction is perinaneiitly iin])rovin); and
at this writing it seems reasonalilc to lielieve that the greatest
idistacle in the way of eousistont future iiniiroveiiient, namely,
excess labor charge, will be removed. This and other avenues of
liiinber consumption are piling up deniaiul which eventually must
be released. HaiidwooD Becoud believes 1li:il the danger lies more
in the possibility of such ]>eiit up business niateiializing tno sud-
denly than in continued inactivity.
AliMig the saino lines it is suggested by certain facts that the
annual car shortage will not be so much a myth this year as may
have been expected. One railroad oHLcial prophesieil ipiite recently
that the real car shortage would develop b.v July I, adding that
open top etpiipmeiit is already at a premium, and it is his guess
that the railroads can not handle more than seventy-tive per cent
of till' Miiinial business in their present condition whereas recent
iniproveineiit in car movements has brought their handlings already
lip to ;ili(iiit sixty jter cent. These figures are baseil on otlicial
recoids and if they maintain generally along ma,ior lines, it is not
at all improb.-ible that liis nrediction may be made good.
Redfield on the Foreign Trade Corporation
A('LK.\R RKALIZATION of the sjilenilid significance to Ainer-
ic.'iii business of the Foreign Trade h^inancing Corporation is
induced by the reading of a statement made by William C. Redfield,
former secretary of commerce, and president of the American Man-
ufacturers' lOxport Association, before the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association of Baltimore on May 12. He described this
corporation as " a new tool" in foreign trade, which "can take the
foreign buyer and connect him up with the domestic seller, pav the
latter and extend to the former the time ho needs to work out his
own pavment. "
That this is, indeed, a facile instrument, Mr. Redfield makes
plain, and American business men everywhere should feel gratified
that it is now at their command. Tt is a matter of common knowl-
edge that the future well being of American commerce and industry
depends in very large measure u]ion the sale of goods in foreign
markets. Onr productive capacity has been so developed that our
factories and our mills turn out a huge surplus of goods over the
domestic needs. Therefore, American industry can not run at full
sjieed and the maximum of onr people can not be given profit.ible
employment unless enormous quantities of nur products are sidd
abroad. But the foreign buyer requires long time credits, a finan
cial arrangement very different from that common to the domestic
tr:ide, and without which the requisite volume of business can not
be done in foreign countries. It is at this point that the Foreign
Trade Financing Corporation takes hold and saves the situation.
Mr. Rcilfield explains th.-it the method iif this corporation is
similar to the svstem used successfully by Great Britain, which we
know is the greatest and most cauny of all trading natious. With
the aid of such a scheme, why can not the United States become
iqually as great in foreign trade.'
In a preface to his explanation of the corporation, Mr. Kedfield
analyzed international trade conditions which make it of the
highest iinportajice to American prosperity that we seize the oppor-
tunity to expand commercially in foreign fields. In this analysis
he moutioned that "copper, cotton and grain remain unsold;''
that "the great steel industry runs at barely 40 ]ier cent of capa-
citv;'' that "there is much unemjiloymcnt and a great deal of idle
machinerv. ' '
All of this is true and good, but we should like to have had
liim specifically mention hardwoods and the idle machinery in
hardwood mills. This situation is also of first importance, for
hardwood lumber is among the great basic commodities. Of course,
he did not mean to show, bj' failure to mention hardwoods specifi-
cally, that the hardwood industry is excluded from the benefits of
the Foreign Trade Financing Corporation. This is not the case, it
goes without .sa.ying; and the hardwood industry can call on the
corporation for aid in extending its markets in foreign fields.
We should like, in this connection, to urge that the members of
the hardwood industry give particular stud.y to the possibilities of
foreign trade opened up by this Foreign Trade Financing Corpora-
tion. It is probable that a more intensive working of foreign mar-
kets might so increase sales of hardwoods that the domestic market
would be measurabl.y strengthened and stabilized. Surely there is
strong jirobability of this.
Explaining what the corporation is, Mr. Redfield said that he did
not intend 'to suggest a patent medicine, but to offar a working
tool, in itself not new, but one which we have not vet used, though
tried for many years in other lands and found of service and profit.
It is -something which conditions have not until today required us
to adopt. "
He continues his explanation in the following interesting manner:
Tlicrc are men all over America who have goods whicli they can not
sell lit home and are able and anxious to sell al>road. There are men
nbroad cquall.v eager to bu.v those goods. Neither the' men in Ohio nor
tlioir linnks nor the men abroad can do as the.v want in the matter as
tilings now are because there is no tool with which to connect them up
one witli anotlier. The Foreign Trade Financing Corporation is the tool.
It can take the foreign bu.ver and connect him up with the domestic seller,
I»ii,v the lattiM- and extend to the former the time he ureds to work out his
own pa.vment.
But on what securities will credits be given? On an,v kind that raa.v
prove available and which will stand the test of searching scrutiny. Here
the deposit of government, provincial or municipal securities: here the
i>ledge of city or port revenues ; here the guarantee of a government Itself :
bcre a good first mortgage ; here the deposit of salalile commodities : yon-
der the guaranttH- of a bank or a sufficient endorsement. Tollateral of
many kinds exists, not alw'ays, indeed as what we know as bankable
security, meaning that which is instantly convertible, but yet collateral
sonn.l iiiul good for an institution which has no liquid liabilities and whose
jtiirimse is to furnish credits of a kind wbirb shall ftuitde its debtors to
work out their i>wn payments.

Work Ifeport is made out, which shoies the department and the operator
responsible. This must ijo to the office and correction or sci'appinff of the
part damaged ea^n onlij be done on order from the office. In this wap
rare in operatinfj as teell as speed is compelled.
From this point Mr. Bohmker proiouds, as follows:
Tho foregoing mdicates that much can be accomplished iu keep-
ing up the quality of the work, provided the organization is func-
tioning properly. In the case of difficult operations where it is not
Mitogetlier the fault of the operator, as the case of distortion of
steel shapes in tempering, cross grain in wood, etc., in such event
quality is used as a basis of piece work paj'ment. It is evident
from what has been said that motion study is the foundation of
cost; it will indicate the amount of waste in productive labor; can
he applied to study of material waste, also a factor in analyzing
manufacturing expense. Shop or manufacturing cost is made up
of material, labor and expense. The material and labor items are
relatively easy to determine, but more or less difficulty arises in
the proper distribution of the manufacturing expense. The method
most commonly used is by taking the total expense of the previous
year, determine what percentage this is of the total productive
labor for the same period, using percentage so found for costs on
jobs for the ensuing year.
There is no question but that the percentage of direct lalior
method is the easiest, most ready method and answers very well
in plants of uniform operation or where one department differs
little from the rest; but in plants with departments of entirely
different physical make-up, such as a foundry and woodworking
department, or a plant operating part day work and part piece
work, in such event the productive hour or machine basis of dis-
tribution should he used. Manufacturing expense can not properly
he distributed on the basis of the general overhead on productive
labor, especially so when plant is operating on a piece work basis,
since the expense is a function of time and piece work payment of
quantity; for this reason we cannot properly apply it. Tlie general
overhead is a handy, ready and most easily aiiplied method, and is
in use iu many so-called efficient plants; efiicient because they make
money, yet making money is no definite sign that a plant is
efficient. There arc so many conditions entering into the question
that only thorough analysis will reveal them, fop exampb': hiw
labor cost, little or no com]Htition; these might make a "money
maker" of a plant, but still the plant may not be efficient in its
operation. For illustration, we have a man working day work
receiving 50 cents per hour, the general overhead is 80 per cent,
therefore 40 cents equals manufacturing expense and is added to
the .50 cents productive labor. Checking up the time tickets of the
man we find that he is producing 100 pieces of a certain article i>er
hour, or one-half cent a piece.
(Irantiog that no time study is made of the job, tln' man is given
,1 juice of .")0 cents pi i IiiuhIi cd ; liecause of the piece work thi' man
speeds up and, instead of producing 100 per hour, ])roduces 17.") at
50 cents per hundred, m.iking him .t.S75 instead of 51) cents per
hour when working day work, a])iilying our 80 per cent overhead
ch.'Mge on the .$.875 productive labor or 70 cents. Had he jiroduced
175 pieces per hour while working day work the job would have
been charged with only 40 cents expense.
'I'lir ((uestion natur:illy arises, how much increase in expense
obtained in the greater prod\iction is due to piece work ! Rent,
insurance, taxes, upkeep of buildings, interest, administration,
depreciation, light and heat remain the same; the only items in
which slight increase obtains is ])ower, machine and material
expense. The difference of charge between day work .md piece
work is 30 cents or 75 per cent over the day work chargi. The
increase in power, material and machine expense is practically
uegligihie. This then proves that piece work productive labor can
not projx'rly be used for distributing the expense burden.
We must necessarily know the time consumed in producing a
given article. This can he done by reducing productive labor to
hours or apply directly on hours. The base rate alread.v referred
to on Time Study Sheet will serve the purpose. We must first of
all find out how long it required the man to produce the 175 pieces.
It is found to be one hour, applying the overhead of 80 per cent
to the 50 cents productive labor on day work or base rate and find
that the charge is 40 cents. One will readily appreciate what this
will mean when in close competition, whether we add 40 cents or
70 cents expense ch.-irge to our productive labor. The refinement
of expense distribution can ]>e carried on to departmental over-
head machine hour basis, and these in turn subdivided if found
profitable or convenient. The following table shows fairly good
reason for a departmental overhead. A plant has a total productive
pay roll of $750,000 and manufacturing expense of .■ffioo.iioii or a
general overhead of 80 per cent.

Paint 112,500 71,000 63.0 90,000
Total $750,000 $600,000 80.0 $600,000
It will be seen from Hie table that in only one department does
the 80 per cent apply; in all others it differs widely, ranging from
17.2 per cent to 125 per cent.
To establish departmental overhead it is necessary to establish
the amount of ])Ower, heat, light, rent; maintenance expense, such
as belts, oil, repairs to m.achinery; depreciation of machines; t.-ixes
and interest or floor space and contents; in addition to this there
will be a small charge or general overhead, known as administra-
tive. The waste incurred in manufacturing, such as idle time and
waste in material, must also be accounted for and applied either as
a flat percentage or contained in the departmental overhead.

Efficient Distribution Is Vital
American Wholesale Lumber Association in Annual Session Points to Value of
Its Slogan — Year of Success in Arbitration Work Is Also Recorded
The ijlcasuie of pii'seiitiiig a word of conimouilutioii from Presi-
rlciit Harding was experienced by J. Howard Burtonj president of
the American Wholesale Lumber Association, delivering his address
at the first annual meeting of the association in the Florentine room
of the Congress Hotel, Chicago, May 18.
The President's word of praise applied to arbitration, which is
the especial purpose and pride of the association. He also asked
aid in (ivercoiiiiiig the hou.ting shortage. The notable letter
follows:
"My Dear Mr. Burton:
"I would be grateful if you will extend my message of greetings
and good wishes to the members of the American Wholesale Lumber
Association at their convention in Chicago next week.
"Your industry is one of those that are in position to render
useful service to the country in the present period when stabiliza-
tion and liquidation are so higlily important. There is need for
the largest measure of mutual understanding and toleration among
all elements in business, and I feel that the efforts of your organi-
zation to establish arbitration of differences in the industry deserve
commendation. The comparative suspension of building operations
for a long period makes it especially desirable that in every possible
way encouragement should be extended now to those who would
help cope with the shortage in housing conditions, and I trust your
members will find a way to contribute in that direction,
' 'Most sincerely yours,
"Warren G. Harding."
At the close of the two-day convention on May IS), Mr. Burton
was re-elected president «f the association amid a demonstration
of enthusiasm which brought the members to their feet shouting.
Because of ill health and the wishes of his family that he relinquish
some of his burdens, Mr. Burton had asked that his name not be
presented to the convention, but the enthusiasm of the members
for his achievements of the past year would not permit him to
retire.
When he found that he had been swept back into office by this
wave of enthusiasm, Mr. Burton addressed the association briefly,
warning the members that the wholesaler is today in fully as
precarious a position as he was during the war, and that it is most
imperative that they stand together shoulder to shoulder for mutual
protection. The same influences, he said, that are conducting such
a menacing campaign in Washington against the grain exchanges
are also turning their power against tlic miildleniau in the lumber
industry. The re-establishment of the War Industries Board or
any similar war organization, he warned, would constitute the grav-
est menace to the business life of the wholesaler. "Unless we
work together in a national way, our business is in grave danger,"
he said.
President Burton's Message
"There is one message which I should like to have each of you
take home with him and preach. You should preach the necessity
of wholesalers combining their efforts, in a legal way, to maintain
the honor and integrity of their position in the economic arrange-
ment of the country, through national co-operation. The only way
the wholesaler's voice can be heard in a national way is through an
organization that represents the wholesaler's point of view 100 per
cent. We should co operate with all branches of the lumber indus-
try and the industries using wood. We should sell service to all,
and iireach the gospel of the national wholesale organization, as
typified by the golden rule code of ethics of the American Whole-
sale Lumber Association."
Ben S. Woodhead of the Beaunjont Lumber Company, Beaumont,
Tex., was re-elected first vice-president with a wildly enthusiastic
demonstration.
Waldo E. Holmes of the Pacific Fir Company, Seattle, Wash.,
was elected second vice-president to succeed C. W. Johnson of the
Charles W. .Tohnson Lumber Company, Seattle, Wash.
The following directors were also elected:
Directors for Northwest Kegion- — John G. Saari, Portland, Ore.,
regional vice-president; J. G. Wallace, of Minneapolis, Minn., and
Frederick 8. Palmer, of San Francisco, Calif.
Directors for Southwest Eegion — Marcel Krauss, of New Orleans,
legional vice-president; A. W. Stickle, of Dallas, Tex., and Thomas
S. Dennis, of Kansas City, Mo.
Directors for North Central Eegion — Max Myers, of Cleveland,
Ohio, regional vice president; L. Germain, jr., of Pittsburgh (re-
elected), and Dwight Hinckley, of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Directors for Southeast Region — Charles B. Carothers, of Mem-
phis, Tenn., regional vice-president, and H. W. Taylor, of Jackson-
ville, Fla.
Directors for Northeast Eegion — George W. Stevens, of New
York City, regional vice-president, and B. L. Tim, of New York
City.

It is higlily i>rol)al>lc that President Hafding may be the head-
liner at the twenty-fourth annual convention of the National Hard-
wood Lumber Association in Philadelphia, June 9, at the Bellevue-
Stratford Hotel. A committee from the association, composed of
Horace F. Taylor, president; E. V. Babcock, Earl Palmer and
Charles H. Barnaby, directors, and F. F. Fish, secretary-treasurer,
called upon President Harding at the White House by appointment
on April 29 and invited the chief executive to address the conven-
tion. Members of the committee state that the President gave
them a very cordial hearing and pi'omised to give serious considera-
tion to the invitation. The committee has good reason to believe
that the President's decision will be favorable, and he will talk to
the assembled members and guests on the opening day of the
convention.
Regardless of what President Harding's decision may be, how-
ever, there will be a national figure present to address the conven-
tion. Arrangements have been concluded with James J. Davis,
secretary of labor, to address the hardwood men on Thursday,
June 9. Secretary Davis' subject, as a matter of course, will be
"Labor," and being not only peculiarly qualified officially, but
personally, to discuss such a subject, his address will undoubtedly
contain a message of importance.

The May "Official Bulletin" of the National Hardwood Lumber
Association declares that never before in the whole career of this
organization has it approached the twelfth-month terminus of its
yearly activities with greater assurance of a successful finish.
That the forthcoming meeting will be an outstanding success is
now absolutely certain, and that it is destined to be such is emi-
nently fitting in view of what the association has accomplished
during the past year to justify its cause and confirm tho charter
of its existence. All counter currents, notwithstanding it is closing
one of the best years in its history and which achievement, every-
thing considered, is one worthy of special observance.
(inc sign of nni)recedciit('<l iinimisp Is (in the scdM' iif tlir niHctins's
prospuctive attendance. Reports already reei'ived Indicate that there will
bo an outpouring from every hardwood mai-ki't and section, lioth in this
country and In Canada, whieli will lireak all reeords in the annals of lumber
trade conventions. In all of the important markct.s the local lumlier
organizations have taken offleial action in the matter and are rounding up
their members and regional lunihernien for the purpose of bringing them
to the convention in bodies. Iti a number of instances special train service
has been provided for. Nevci' before has such thoroughgoing and wide-
spread interest been shown.
In order to encourage tho I'lillest atti'iidance tlic association lias
secured from the railro.ids a rate of one and one-half fares for the
round trip from any point in the country exccjiting stations in the
state of Pennsylvania. This rate applies to all members, all
dependent members of their families and also employes.
The Lumbermen's Association of Chicago, through a committee
of hardwood men comprising L. J. Pomeroy, chairman; F. B.
McMullen and A. H. Euth, has arranged to have a special conven-
tion train run from Chicago to Philadelphia. This train will run
on the Pennsylvania line and will travel as a section of the famous
"Broadway Limited." It will be equipped with every detailed
convenience and luxury carried by this de luxe train. The fare
will be the regular fare and a half rouncl trip rate arranged for the
convention. Further details of this train may be secured from
S. F. P. MefiSey, secretary-manager of the Lumbermen 's Associa-
tion of Chicago. The running schedule is as follows:
Leave Chicago 12:40 p. m., C. T., June 8; leave Fort Wayne .1:49

Analyzing the Two Capper Bills
Due to the thoughtfulncss of Dr. William Compton, secretary
manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, in
preparing a parallel analysis of the Cajiper Forestrj' Bill as it was
originally introduced in 1920 and as it has been introduced again
in 1921, members of the lumber and allied industries will be able,
with comparative ease, to get at the differences between the orig-
inal and the altered measure. In his analysis Dr. Compton calls
especial attention to the significant changes in the methods of
enforcement. The analysis follows:
(1920) Title of the Bill (1921)
"To yircvent the devastation "To control forest devasta-
of forest lands, to perpetuate tion, to perpetuate forests in
the forest resources of the
United States, to avert the de-
struction of the lumber and
wood using industries, and for
other purposes."
the United States, to raise a
revenue from forest products
and for other purposes."
To Whom Legislation Would Apply
Farm lots specifically ex-
cluded.
Commercial forests excluded,
which so-called "Federal For-
est Commission" believes may
bo exempted "with safetj' to
the public interest."
Xo specific exemptions.
By Whom Shall PoUcy Be Determined

of Secretary of Labor, Secre-
tary of Agriculture and chair-

Special Points of Difference
The most important provision of the Capper Forestry Bill in its
present form is to be fouud.in the tax.ition provision analyzed below
in paragraph 5.
First — The revised bill creates no new bureau or commission, but
uses the governmental organizations already established.
This is perhaps intended to meet the objection to the multiplica-
tion of governmental commissions and bureaus.
Second — The revised bill makes specific provision for adapting
the regulatory measures to the differences in local conditions in
various states and communities.
This is probably to meet the objection that the standard regula-
tions proposed in the original Capper bill were not sufficiently
fiexilde.
Third — No specific ])rovisions are provided in the revised bill
either for enforcement of reg\ilations or for fire prevention.
This change may have been made in order to meet the strong
objection against the incurring of additional expenses by the gov-
ernment, or it may mean that the advocates of the bill consider it
only as an educational measure which cannot be passed at present,,
and that no useful purpose would be served in courting the opposi-
tion of those who are committed to a reduction in the federal
expenditures.
Fourth — One of the provisions of the revised bill includes the
co-oper;itive fire prevention and forest protection provisions of the-
so-called Snell Bill. It contains also the provision that if any part
of the bill is unconstitutional that fact shall not affect the rest.
Apparently this is intended to insure co-operative fire prevention
and forest protection in the event the timber cutting regulations

arbitration agreement by tlie members, the successful operation of
the arbitration department and the advance made tow.ird inter-
association arbitration. "I believe I am safe in saying that we
have gone further and made greater progress with this ])aniiular
feature of association work and have accomplished more than any
other lumber association in existence," Mr. Burton said. "Our
arbitration decisions are pulilished to our members as fast as riii
dereil and many are made |iublic through the mediinii id' Irailc Join
nals. These decisions are rendered after taking dae cogaizaaii-
both of the legal rights of tlie parties as well as customs of the
trad?. (Settlements have been made in accordance with the decisions
without e.xeeptions and in many cases we have received written
approval from both jiarties to the issue."
Arbitration the Keynote
This discussion of arbitration, opened by ilr. Burton, became the
keynote of the 'convention. Franklin D. Jones of the Washington,
D. C, law firm of Davies & Jones, delivered a stirring address on
"Arbitration" and this was followed by the report of the arbitra-
tion committee, delivered Ijy Dwight Hinckley of the Dwight
Hinckley Lumber Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, chairnum. Mr. Hinck
ley reported the entire success of the arbitration |ilaii. He said
that during the year 19'2 cases have been submitted to arbitration,
out of wliich 128 had been disposed of and Hi were pending.
Mr. Jones was most enthusiastic about arbitration. "Arbitra-
tion is the friendly way of settling disputes," he said, "and law-
suits constitute the quantity method of producing ill will. Arbitra-
tion tends to crystallize trade customs. Arbitration pays in dollars
and cents. It attracts business to members of an association vv^herc
arbitration of trade disputes is compulsory. It gives the buyer
confidence in the seller." Sentiment for arbitration is sweeping
the country.
Any successful system of arbitration of trade differences must
have the following three basic principles, Mr. .Tones said:
First. Arbitration shall be compulsory — any which is not is of
nil great value. This convinces the retailer of the count ry that
III- is guaranteed a square deal if he docs business with members
iif this association.
Second. Recognition in all arbitration proceedings of established
joinciples of law. This is funilamcntal to the success of such a
system, as all business is transacted on the basis of civil laws di-
veloped from the experience of many generations. If an arbitration
bureau is to survive, those who submit their ditTerences to it nmst
have the assurance that Iheir legal rights will be protecteil. How-
ever, .adheremi- til this requisite is unusmil in trade association
arbitration and the A. W. h. A. is one of the very few that does
it. Every ease is submitted to the counsel of the association for
advice on the legal pcnnts. Counsel returns the case with its state-
iiiiiit, which is not an opinion, but merely an interpretation of legal
piiiats involved, and is similar to a juilge's charge to a .jury.
Third. All [iroceedings nmst be absolutely fair. Pursuing this
idea it has been the policy of the A. W. L. A.'s arbitration com-
mittee to give the non-member of the association the benefit of the
doubt where it was necessary to make such dose decisions.
Mr. Hinckley introduced a motion to put the association on
recoi-d as favoring inter-association arbitration and authorizing the
president to' appoint a committee of one to fornmlate rules and
regulations covering inter-association arbitration. The association
has already made much progress in the way of inter-association
arbitration' and expects to spend considerable effort to progress in
this direction.
Recommend Uniform Order B'ank
Fnlldwiiig :i report on tlie uniform order blank, made by W. L.
Whitacre, of the Whitacre Lumber Company, Columbus, ()., a
motion was carried recommending that the members use the blank
suggested by the committee, omitting the specification of terms of
sale and leaving that question up to each firm using the blank.
Mr. Whitacre made the prediction that the wide use of the uni-
form order blank would jiracticallv (diminate need for arbitration.
Woodhead on Inspection
I:i ccncluding his report en inspection services, First Vice-Presi-
dent Ben S. Woodhead uttered the dictum that the inspection of all
lumber should be under the jurisdiction of some such body as the

Recent Tax Decisions Explained
In spite 1)1' thf wide imblicily tliat iuis Iji-i-n gixcri to tin; lecuiil
decisions of tlie Supreme Court on tlie question of the taxability
undc^ the Federal Ineonie statutes of tlie gains from the sale of
capital assets it appears that there still remains in the minds of
many some confusion as to the net result of these decisions. This
is due, doubtless to the fact that the ordinary business man has
not the inclination nor time to carefully digest these decisions and
the customary newspaper accounts at the time the decisions are
rendered were hurriedly prepared and stated the principles in
equivocal language, leaving certain doubts in the minds of readers.
I shall attempt, therefore, briefly to state the [irinciples established
in these cases with a view to clearing up doubts and uncertainties.
The cases decided, dealing with sales of capital assets were four
ill niinibor. T will treat them separately:
Value on
Marcli 1, 1013
Sellinz Price
iu 1016
Cnse No. 1
The Mcrvhautt' l.iiuii and Trust Cnmpnnii as Trustee of the Kulatr of
Arthur Rijcrson, Dereascd v. SmirtanUa, Collector of Internal Pevenue:
This Is known as the "R.vcr.son" case, .\rthur Ryerson died in 1012
IcavinK amoii!; other property, certain sliaros of stocl! in tlie hanils of
tlie Mcrchaiit.s' Loan and Trust (\>nipany as Trustee. The Trustee was to
pay the income from tliese stoclis to the widow of Mr, Ryerson during
hor life and tliereafter to certain children until each became twcntyfive
years of age, at which time the property was to be divided. The Trustee
was given fullest dominion over the property and iiiarte final judse as to
what was income to be jiaid over to the beneficiaries and what was to
remain a part of the estate until final distribution, except that the will
provided that stock dividends and accretions of selling values should be
consideriMl principal and mil income. Holow T show graphically the trans-
action to illustniti' tlip principles announced:
Value on
March 1, lOl.'?
Selling Price
March, lOlG
Cost prior to
March 1. 101.-!
Not sliown but
apparently less
than the March
1.1913 value .$.5fil, 708.00 $1,280,906.64
Income tax was collected on the dilTerence Ix'twccn the March 1, 1913,
value and the selling price. The ground of protest against payment of this
tax was that this difference represented merely an appreciation in the
value of the capital assets of the estate and was not Income within the
meaning of the Sixteenth .Vmendnn-nt. and could therefore not be con-
stitiitioii,-illy ta.\«i without apportionment as required by Section 2, clause
3 and by Section 9, clause 4 of .\rlicle I of the Constitution, The con-
tention was based on two iirincipai grounds: (1) This taxpayer was not
engaged in the business of buying and selling property and therefore any
increase in the capital of the estate resulting from a conversion of a part
of the assets to cash resulted merely in an accretion to the capital itself.
In support of this there was reference made to decisions dealing with
interests of lifi- tenant and remainderman in gains derived from invested
capital, which discussions the court found of little value for the purpose
of this case: (2i It was not the intention of the franiers of the Sixteentli
.\mendment that such gains be treated as ta.xabic income.
The Court held, however, that the difTercnce between the March 1, 1013,
value and the 1017 selling price was taxable income.
The case further atflrms the principle which lias l>een followed by the
department that the dilTerence between the March ], 1913. value and the
later selling price of propiTty acipiired prior to March 1, 191:^, is taxable
income provided the value prior to March 1. 1913, was less than that on
March 1, 1913, In other words, where property acquired prior to March
1, 191.3, Is sold subsequent to that date at a price in excess of the original
cost, the increase in value accruing sulisequent to March 1, 1913. is taxable
income when realized. This was decided upon the wording of the 1016
.\ct as amended l>y the 1017 .Vet. The decision is clearly binding, not
only as to transactions coming under those two Acts, but also to trans-
actions coming under the 1018 Act. It Is also clear that the principle
applies to Income of Individuals aud corporations as well as to that of a
Trustee.
Case No. II.
Ixirid .If. Goodriih v. Kduardu, Collector of Internal Revenue:
This case involves two transactions which will be treated under two
subdivisions (at and (b) :
la) The first transaction was a sale of stock which may be Indicated
graphically thus :
I ,,^l |,ii.,r I..
March 1, 1913
11012)
.$.-,00 $693 S13.931.22
Here there is the same situation as in Case No. I and the court held
tliat this case is ruled by the decision in Case No. I.
(bl The second transaction w-as a sale of stock which may be indicated
graphically thus :
Cost prior to Value on Selling Price
.Marcli I. 1013 March 1, 1913 in 1916
I 1012)
.'i;201. 600.00 $148,635.50 .S260.346.25
The income tax act in effect during 1916 stated:
■Tor the purpose of ascertaining the gain derived from the sale or
other disposition of property, real, personal, or mixed, acquired before
March 1, 191.3, the fair market price or value of such property as of
March 1. 1013. shall be the basis for determining the amount of such gain
derived."
Substantially the same provision applies from 1916 on in the later acts
and what is said here clearly applies equally to transactions under the later
acts.
In this case a tax had been collected on the difference between the
March 1, 1913. value and the selling price, but at the trial before the
Supreme Court the Government confessed error and agreed that Inasmncb
as the selling price was less than the original invostme'nt, there was no
gain to be ta.xed. The net result of this transaction was a loss of .$22.-
253.75. It docs not appear that any claim for a right to take a deduction
in this amount in the ye.Tr of the sale was made and this point is not
mentioned in the opinion.
The principle established by this case is that the March 1. 1013. value
is ignored in such a transaction as tbis one where viewing tlie transaction
as a wliole there is uo net gain. To state the principle more broadly,
where the March 1, 1013, value represents an accrued loss, a subsequent
sale results in a taxable net gain only in the event such selling price
exceeds the original cost.
Case No. III.
•fiimft< J. ll'ff/«7i. Collector of Internal lierenuc v. Frederick F. Brewster:
'I'liis case involves two principal transactions which will be treated under
two subdivisions la) and lb) :
(a) The first transaction involves a sale t»f bonds which may l>e indi-
cated graphically thus :
Cost prior to Value on Selliug Price
March 1, 1913 March 1. 1913 in 1016
$191,000.00 $151,845.00 $191,000.00
The court here held that inasmuch as the selling price was tlje same as
cost prior to March 1, 1913. there was no taxable income. This follows
the principle laid down in Case No. II (b) above.
lb) This transaction involved also a sale of bonds which ma.v be indi-
cated graphically thus :
Cost prior to Value on Selling Price
March 1,1913 March 1. 1913 in 1016
$231,300.00 $164,480.00 $276,150.00
The court held that the only taxable income was the difference between
the original cost and the selling price carrying the principle of the Good-
rich Case, No. II (b) above, one step farther, so that the principle there
established may now be stated thus :
When the March 1, 1913, value represents an accrued loss, a subsequent
sale results iu a taxable net gain only and to the extent only^ that such
sale price exceeds the original cost.
Case No. IV.
Eldorado Coal and Mininff Company v. Mayer, Collector of Internal
Revenue:
The facts in this case are very similar iu principle tt) those in Case No. I
which it was held controlled ami ueeti not. tlierefore, be further discussed.
The "La Belle Iron Works" Case
The case now before the Supreme Court which is of the greatest
interest to taxpayers is La Belle Iron Works v. The United States.
This case involves the question of invested capital which is a very
technical subject and for this reason the exact points involved have
become confused. I shall attempt to briefly outline the points which It
is hoped will be decided in this ease, with the thought that when the
decision is handed down those interested will more readily understand the
effect of the holding of the court.
The La Belie Iron Ti'orks, a corporation organized in 1875 in West
Virginia, acquired ore lauds prior to the .vear 1904 for the sum of $190,-
000.00. Extensive exploration and development work was carried on and
it was proved that the land contained large bodies of ore so that between
1904 and 1012 the property increased in known value to $10,105,400 and,

THE supreme test of confidence in
one's product is represented in the
published brand. In the lumber in-
dustry where the sale of products is
limited to comparatively few customers,
the goods and the service musl be of
unquestioned excellence or the brand will
destroy — not build — confidence. The
H R brand has stood the test for many
years. It has been the reason for count-
less repeat orders and many long stand-
ing accounts. Holly Ridge Hardwoods
are manufactured on our own band mills
and are shipped direct to the consuming
trade under the famous H R standard-
ized grades — as ample warranty of good
faith as can be maintained in the sale of

of certain iiercenta.nes of income cd' corporations, and individuals. Title
II of this .Vet provided for thi' levying of an excess profits tax on indi
viduals and coriiorations. 'I'lie theory of this excess profits tax was tiiat
after allowin;; a fair return of not less tlian 7 iirr cent nor more than
0 per cent upon Invested capital, all the halance of tlie income should he
suhject to "excess prolits tax," the rates of tax running: up to (>u per cent.
Krom this it will he seen that im the invested cajiital of tlie taxpayer was
larw eniuiuh so tliat the net income did not exceed the 7 or !l per cent
on such Invested capital, tlien there were no excess profits to he taxed.
It wa.s, therefore. im|iiirtant that the invested capital of taxpayers he
made as larce as possible.
Tlie term "Invested capital" is defined in Section 2117 •>< tlie l'.if7 .\et

The contentions of l.a 1 elh' Irtm \\'(irUs are as follows:
I. The company is entitled \o include as paid in or earned surplus and
undivided profits the increase in the value of the ore lands.
II. The stock of the company consisting of common stock par value
$0,U1."),400 and preferred stock par value $0.01.j.400 a total of $10,83t'.S(iO
issued in 1012 was fully paid for either by (1 1 the tangible assets,
including the ore-lands at their increased value, or (21 the certificates of
the old commcm stock. In cither case tangible projierty was paid in for
shares with an actual cash value eijual to .$10,S;!ti,wiii and the company
is entitled to include the full amount in its investtni capital,
I'art 1 is the contention for which it is generally understood this case
stands as a ti^st case and that is that the taxpayer has a rigiit to include
in invested capital the appreciated value of capital assets used in his
business.
My principal reason for stating as I have the facts in the La Belle
Iron Works case is to correct what appears to be the general impression
that the first contention stated al>ove is the only point at issue: whereas,
the fact is that the second contention is a very important one and it Is
possible that the case will be decided entirely upon the second contention,
igniaing contention No. 1.
Inasmuch as this case has Iteen submitted to the Supreme t^ourt and is
pending a decision it would he ethically improper to enter into any dis-
cussion of the merits at this time. The statement here made, as indicated
above, is merely to place before the reader in a brief form the points
covered by the case.

Northern Wholesalers Are Confident
Market conditions, l)otli as applying to northern and southern
hardwoods, were carefully reviewed at the spring meeting of the
Northern Wholesale Hardwood Lumber Association, held in Milwau-
kee, Friday, Maj' 13. Some twenty-five members were in attendance,
and the ehstir was occupied by Theodore T. Jones of Minneapolis,
Minn., president of the association. In the absence of Secretary
J. F. Haydeu of Minneapolis, F. E. Andrews of the Stevens Jarvis
Lumber Company, Eau Claire, Wis., acted as secretary.

Tlio I'ouclusiou of the analysis of the market situation was that
the producer and distributor of northern hardwoods have little to
fear. They are, as a rule, in a stronger position financially than
the southern operator, and if they will only "sit steady in the
boat" can carry their lumber through to a period where it will
not be necessary to sell at sacritice prices.
The meeting went on record as rejecting tlie hanlwood sali'^
code proposed bj' the Lumbermen's Club of Memphis for adoption
at the annual meeting of the National Hardwood Lumber Assi.cia
tion. The suggestion of the Lumbermen's Association of Chicago
was followed in this action. The wholesalers were of the opinion
that the code would work hardships on the wholesaler and make his
selling harder because of the difficulty of persuading his customers
to accept it. A. H. Euth of the G. W. Jones Lumber Company,
Chicago, was selected to present the association's views on this
subject at the Philadelphia convention.
The work of Payson Smith of Minneapolis, Minn., as a director
of the National Hardwood Lumber Association representing tlic
northern territory, was endorsed and his re-election recomnii'n<led.
This action was taken on a motion presented by Mr. Timlin and
seconded by G. A. Vangsnesa of the Vangsness Lumber Coniii.-niy of
Chicago.
The fixing of the date for the summer meeting was left to the
discretion of President Jones. The customary date is the second
Friday in August, but inasmuch as the ne.xt month or two may
bring important changes in conditions, it was thought i)robablc tlu-
president might want to call the wholesalers together in July.
ICoiiliniicd from pane 21)
National Lumber Manufacturers Association, the regional associa-
tions functioning on inspection rules only where technical questions
]ieculiar to the woods represented by them are involved. He declared
that he intended to present this idea to the officers and directors
of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. Suidi admin-
istraticiu of inspert inn, l,c -:iii|, uuiild miuinjize i he cost, uliii-li is
imperative, as inspeilinii eost is now too high. Mr. Woodhead
explained that his jiroposal for the central administration of inspec-
tion rules did not come from a desire to criticize the inspection
methods of the regional asso( iation, but was suggested purely for
reasons of efficiency and economy.
He reported that eS'orts to make arrangements with the South-
ern Pine Association for use of its inspection service had not
proved successful, but that he thought inspection service would be
promised the members within the next twelve to eighteen months.
The o|iportunity that the American Wholesale Lumber Associa-
tion has in the present day field of business was thrown into
strong relief by L. R. Putman, directing manager, in his annual
report. Mr. Putman showed that the slogan and aim of his asso-
ciation, "Efficient Distribution," has become the great economic
need of the world. "Efficient distribution is the greatest [irobli'm
now confronting the civilized world," he said. "I'ntil a few
months ago production and more production was the battle cry of
commerce.
"At the Ninth Annual Convention of the Chamber of Commerce
of the T'nited States, held in Atlantic City last month, the best

Appalachian Logging Methods
"Careful, methodical, persistent cruising of the territory," is
mentioned first by E. A. Gaskill of Sunburst, N. C, in his discussion
of methods in an admirable jjapcr on "Logging: Power Equip-
ment and Methods," which lie delivered on April 29 at the meet-
ing of the Appalachian Logging Congress in Cincinnati, 0. This
portion of the paper continued:
First ol' the entire tract, so tluit you will know the rclnlion that any
one portion bcnis to the whole. This Is Important for the reason that, in
mountain logging where liigh Uncs of railroad are frequently used and
tlie expense of reaching the proper elevation is great, when once this
elevation is reached you should hrlng to each high line every available foot
of timber that i'»n be logged to it ctHciently. Again, it is often true that
once having gained an elevation, timber in another drainage is often
aecessiliie lo the extension of a high line already sceured. I know of an
instance where a mill did practically nothing for eighteen months while
seven miles of the hardest kind of railroad building was l>eing driven
through uji an iidjolning drainage along the stream, when three-quarters
of a mile of easy construction from a high line that they had abandoned
and taken out would have put them across the divide and into the timber.
They had not done careful, persistent and methodical cruising from an
operating standpoint. You have got to know your country, know it better
than any ■Itlzen who was born in it and hunted over it for years. He
knows the drainages anil landmai-ks ; yo\] must know these and all the
sidi' drainages, tlie elevations, humps and knobs. You have got" to know
it until yon can sit down In your woods shack and make a sketch map of
it from memory. Then you have to have the nerve to back your judg-
ment as to the proper location of railroad and assume the responsibility
for it. In opening up a new territory of one hundred million feet or more
this means the expenditure of alioiit a quarter of a million dollars of some
one else's money ; naturally we want to be sure we are right before assum-
ing a responsibility like this. Decisions like this arc based on logging
engineering.
I have often heard the question asked, what is a logging engineer? A
logging engineer is one who can combine facts, figures, men and money
anil get the logs into the pond at a price that they can be sawed up and
the lumber sold at a profit. A man may have a first class technical educa-
tion and be as smart as a whip and be handling tiie transit in the woods,
but he is not a logging engineer \uitil he can combine facts with figures,
men with money, make his i)lans montlis ahead and have them work out.
The print which you have in your liands, gentlemen, represents logging
operations laid out eighteen montlis ahead ; l)ef(U-e this work was done
the cruising whitdi I {-mphasizi'd earlier had to be done. The same
engineer who handles the railroad work laid out these logging operations
and made tlie map. It costs, in the exceedingly rough country in whicli
we are operating, between ttfteen and eighteen I'eiits a thousand feet to
do this work. Y'ou will note that all team work is located, skidder sets,
camp sites and railroad. Kacli skidder set is lettered and team work is
specified ; each unit of operation, skidder set or team work, is listed and
the number of feet cruised for that set or team work is credited to tiiat
unit for itperation. The cost of railroad to operate these various units is
figured per thousand feet based on these cridses. The cost of engineering
for each unit of operation is <'harged to that unit, as is also the cost of
cutting tindier ami the cost of skidding. Scaling is done liehind the cut-
ters on a unit of operation, and when a unit is cut we have the actual
feet log scale, and if this is more than our cruise our cost will be less
than our figures, or at least we will have some leeway for grief. If the
scale is less tlian our cruise, we feel sick, because explanations are in
order, but the great ntajority of our unit oi>erating cruises hold out, and
this is as it should be, because when you go into a territory to spend
money, if you .want to keep your cost right, you want to be sure that you
get out of the territory all the timber you figure on. I have been asked,
what do you mean by an operating cruise? I believe the plirase originated
with us. and by it we mean that the cruise is safe from an operating
standpoint. For instance, a contemplated skidder spur 2,000 feet long
is estimated to cost $C,0iiO. The skidder set on tlie end of this spur will
gather in "operating cruise" G.000,000 feet, or cost of the spur $1 a
thousand feet. Y'ou build the spur and it costs you $5,500. when you have
the log scale of the timber cut on this set you find it scaled G. 730,000 feet,
or the spur cost you $0.82 a thousand feet. You made previously the
statement to your principals that the spur would cost ?l a thousand feet-
Owing to the fact that you made a safe operating cruise you are able to
reiMU't that the spur cost \mt ><2 I'ciUs n thoiesaud feet. The facts are the
toi)ography of the country you are working in, the equipment you are
working with, etc. The figures are the costs compared with your esti-
mates. Mucli- depends on the logging engineers' estimates, as others figure
on them when once the logging engineer gives them out. So use an operat-
ing cruise, which is a safe cruise in basing your estimates of cost per
thousand feet.
After the logging engineer has combined his facts and figures, or taken
the topography of the country and his equipment into consideration, made
his plans in accordance therewith and compiled his estimates, he is now
ready for the combination of men and money with which to make his plans
work out and his estimates good. The first class logging engineer will
know at ail times what each particular unit of operation is costing: not
at the close of each month, but from day to day. Vte are using a system
whidi we devised ourselves that enables us to know each day what was
spent in the way of labor (money) at each unit of operation and also
the number of thousand feet of logs that each unit handled. The fore-
man of each unit turns the time in daily to the office on a time sheet,
reporting for each man the hours worked, the rate and the occupation,
and makes on this sheet a complete distribution of the hours worked.
From this a daily labor report is made up, and from this a report of the
cost of labor for the day in his department is given to each department
head. To determine the amount of feet of logs each skidding unit handles
eacli day we follow this system : The only scaling done in the woods is
done behind the cutters, and this scale shows the final total ineces of logs
and the final total number of feet on each unit of operation : from this we
gi't the average number of logs to the thousand feet for any given unit
of f»peration and each skidding unit reports daily the number of pieces of
logs they bring to tlie track ; the average number of logs to the thousand
feet, determined by the scale behind the cutters, divided into the pieces
of logs gives the number of thousand feet of logs skidded. As the logs
are loaded out the train conductors report daily the number of pieces of
logs that are loaded from each unit of operation. As an Illustration of
how this works out and how it checks one piece of work against another, I
pass around a form we call "Unit Logging Report." Note the following:
The number of feet operating cruise Is placed on this form ; the pieces
of logs and feet as turned in by the scaler ; the pieces of logs as turned
in by the skidding forces ; the pieces of logs as turned in by the train
forces.
.\ny wide discrepancies in any of the above shows that something is
wrong. A log inventory is kept and a full report made up each month for
this log inventory. In other words, we do not wait for any one unit of
operation to finish before making a check, but check on all of them each
month. .\ unit logging cost statement is made up from the above and
this statement is turned over to the wood's superintendent each month, so
that he may keep track of his costs. We make a point of advising every
foreman of the cost of his operation and they seem Interested and pleased
to get it. Any system to be truly effective must be elastic enough to meet
all conditions that it is installed to keep track of. The operating map
which you hold in your hand we call our "General Plan of Operations,"
and it does not mean that once laid out it has to be rigidly adhered to, but
rather that it is the plan that we are working from anrl trying to improve,
and as a matter of fact we do improve it. The great strength of the sys-
tem lies in the fact that there is a decided upon "General Plan " months
ahead for all to work to and nothing in the air. Wood's superintendents,
foremens of machines and camps, anyone's suggestions are welcomed for
improving this general plan of operations.
We follow the same course in railroad construction and now have for
the entire operation the preliminary surveys for main line logging railroad
and all spurs made and mapped with notes on same as regards the con-
struction conditions. This also serves as a general plan for the railroad
work, which during the many subsequent cruises we will make of the ter-
ritory wo will no doubt be able to improve.
.\ summary of metliods would appear as follows :
FACTS — The topography of the country, stand of timber to the acre
and quality of timber, the equiinnent. From these you make your general
plan for construction of main line railroad and spurs and your general
plan for units of operation.
FIGUKES — Y'our estimates of stand of timber, operating cruises, your
estimates of cost of railroad construction, logging and transportation.
MEN — The kind and quality that you are going to have work with you ;

and the license t:ix on the eoiuluct of the lumber business might be
declared unconstitutional.
Fifth — The chief difference between the old Capper Bill and the
present one is in the taxation provisions. The new Capper Bill
seeks to enforce the cutting regulations which will be prescribed
under the act by imposing an additional tax of $4.95 a thousand
feet on all forest products produced otherwise than in accordance
with such timber cutting regulations.
That is, a tax of five cents a thousand feet will be levied on all
forest ])roducts, however cut. A tax of five dollais would be
assessed against all such products as have not been cut in accord-
ance with the regulations.

Sixth — The revised bill makes no mention of authorizing com-
binations in the forestry industries where such combinations would
be in the interest of greater production and marketing of forest
products, nor does it give atithority to the Forest Service itself to
engage in logging operations, lumber manufacturing, etc., in the
national forests.
The provisions may have been omitted because they are contro-
versial, have no direct bearing upon the essential forestry princi-
ples contained in the act, and would probably store up opposition
to the bill among those who are opposed either to large industrial
combinations or to the United States government engaging in an
industrial enterprise.
Pertinent Information
April Statistics Show Substantial Building Gain
Buildlug permits for April, 1^21, Issued in 20t cities, as officially
reported to The .\merlcan Coiitrnctor, total ?102, 100,005. The Increase
In activity which has hceu apparent during each succeeding mouth of this
year Is visualized by ii comparison of the ahove total with the .Tanuary
total of $G2,150.4G1 from 203 cities. This is a 1-44. 7 per cent gain. Riving
January the advantage of two cities. February permits from 19(5 cities
totalled $90,403,2211, and Jlarch statistics from 184 cities totalled $124,-
450,629.
.\prll, 1920, was the peak month of activity last year, and permits issued
in the same 201 cities as reported tor this year totalled $200,234,203, show-
lug a 24 per cent loss from last year's fourth month activity. However,
the number of permits Issued during .\pril of this year (34,lfi2» is a sub-
stantial increase over the number Issued during April, 1920 (40,7S5). thus
showing a mon^ widespread manifestation of activity for this year. It is
probable that due to lessened cost of construction the 24 per cent loss In
dollar valuation for this year is overdrawn when converted to footage
comparison.
There are spectacular increases over March in Chicago which jumps
from $7,320,000 to $15,198,000; in Baltimore, which jumps from $2,673.-
720 to $§,305,200, and Cleveland, from $4,673,675 to $8,470,525. Detroit
permits drop from $(!,297,397 and Kansas City permits from $1,037,900 to
$757,750.
Statistics from the fourteen cities (Baltimore, Boston. Chicago, Cleve-
land, Detroit, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New Orleans, New
York (five boroughs), Philadelphia. Pittslmrgh, San Francisco and Seat-
tle), which furnish The American Contractor basis for long time com-
parisons, total $86,913,100 as against $09,444,662 for March, $61,872,467
for February, and $34,240,000 for .Tanuary. .\ccording to these figures the
per cent of gain for February over January is 80.7 ; the gain of ilarch
over February is 10.5 per cent, and the gain of April over March is 25.2
per cent. The per cent gain of April over January is 153.9.

eight y«ars which has exceeded current April in money valuation of per-

Piano Builders Hold Convention
Association Adopts Labor Principles of National Association of Manufacturers and Pledges Support
to Music Industries Chamber of Commerce
Among the most important actions con-
summated by the National Piano Manufac-
turers' Association of America, meeting in
twenty-fifth annual convention at the Drake
Hotel, Chicago, May 9 and I 0, were the in-
dorsement of the labor platform of the Na-
tional Association of Manufacturers of the
United States, the pledging of $30,000 to
the support of the Music Industries Cham-
ber of Commerce and a declaration for the
repeal of the excise tax on pianos and other
musical instruments through the passage of
the Smoot Bill.
The convention was held as a part of the
great convention of the members of the
Music Industries Chamber of Commerce.
The convention also voted in favor of
holding the next annual meeting in New
York City.
Carle C. Conway of New York, the Hallet
& Davis Company, was elected president,
succeeding Otto Schulz of Chicago, the M.
Schulz Piano Company.
At the annual banquet, which was held
in the French room of the Drake on Tues-
day evening. May 10, Mr. Conway had the following to say relative
to current conditions in the piano industry:
"We have seen a sellers' market for the past two years. Socrates
gave good advice to beware of the grape which exhilarated, but
which had its after effects of depression. We shall, I hope, hold a
part of the ground we have gained. The dealers must learn that
there is nothing in a demoralized market for them any more than
for us. We don't wish to go backward, but forward, and we must
build up the industry as never before.
"We may congratulate ourselves on the present situation as
regards the association. 1 can remember that the business of four
or five years ago was to raise enough money to take care of the
deficit at the end of the year. When 1 turned over the treasury-
ship of the association there was $4,000 in the treasury. Now the
Chamber of Commerce has a budget for the coming year of $129,-
000. The great thing for us now is all to pull together.
"I am perfectly delighted with this convention, 1 don't know
how we will equal it next year. Mr. Lawrence has well called it
a 'house party.' But you may be sure of a hearty welcome next
year."
This banquet was presided over by former President Schulz and
over one hundred manufacturers and their guests attended.
Officers and Committees
The following other officers were elected with Mr. Conway to
serve during the ensuing year: Vice-president, C. C. Chickering,
Chicago; second vice-president, Mark P. Campbell, New York;
secretary, James T. Bristol, Chicago; treasurer, Charles Jacob,
New York.
The following new committees were announced by Mr. Conway:

The following are the labor principles which the piano manu-
facturers unanimously adopted as their own:
"Declaration of labor principles of the National Association of
Manufacturers of the United States of America.
1. Fair dealing is the fundamental and basic principle on
which relations between employees and employers should rest.
2. The National Association of Manufacturers is not opposed
to organizations of labor as such, but it is unalterably opposed to
boycotts, blacklists and other illegal acts of interference with the
personal liberty of employer or employee.
3. No person should be refused employment or in any way
be discriminated against on account of membership or non-mem-
bership in any labor organization, and there should be no discrim-
ination against or interference with any employee who is not a
member of a labor organization by members of such organizations.
"4. With due regard to contracts, it is the right of the em-
ployee to leave his employment whenever he sees fit, and it is the
right of the employer to discharge any employee when he sees fit.
"5. Employers must be free to employ their work people at
wages mutually satisfactory, without interference or dictation on
the part of individuals or organizations not directly parties to such
contracts.
"6. Employers must be unmolested and unhampered in the
management of their business, in determining the amount and
quality of their product, and in the use of any methods or systems
of paj' which are just and equitable.
7. In the interest of employees and employers of the country,
no limitation should be placed upon the opportunities of any person
to learn any trade to which he or she may be adapted.
"8. The National Association of Manufacturers disapproves
absolutely of strikes and lockouts, and favors an equitable adjust-
ment of all differences between employers and employees by any
amicable method that will preserve the rights of both parties.
"9. Employees have the right to contract for their services in
a collective capacity, but any contract that contains a stipulation

thiit employment should be denied to men not parties to the con-
tract is an invaHion of the constitutional rights of the American
workman, is against public policy, and is in violation of the con-
spiracy laws. This association declares its unalterable antagonism
to the closed shop and insists that the doors of no industry be
closed against American workmen because of their membership
or non-membership in any labor organization.
"10. The National Association of Manufacturers pledges itself
to oppose any and all legislation not in accord with the foregoing
declaration."
"The conservation of labor by the increased use of templates
and forms," was one or the most important recommendations
contained in the report of the committee of Conservation of
Natural Resources, made to the National Piano Manufacturers*
Association of America, in annual session at the Drake Hotel,
Chicago. May 10.
The report was made by Mark P. Campbell, chairman of a
committee comprising G. A. Anderson, A. J. Brooks and Charles
E. Byrne. It was referred by the convention to the executive com-
mittee of the association with power to act.
The remarks of the committee relative to the labor question
were especially interesting. "It has been stated, with more or
less accuracy," the committee said, "that on reducing the piano
to its basic terms it is about 1 5 per cent material and 85 per cent
labor. Labor is truly one of America's natural resources, and it is
within the power of every manufacturer in the United Spates
to exert some influence towards the conservation of this particu-
lar resource — not only as a manufacturing expediency, but as a
patriotic duty.
"Material is limited in its function; labor, as history shov/s, is
unlimited in the efficiency to which it can go. By the employ-
ment of more templets and patterns and the addition of machinery,
it will be possible to develop this resource. The improvement in
dexterity will eliminate the necessity of high skill w^ithout affect-
ing in the slightest degree the intrinsic value of the finished
product."
The report further developed this thought into the suggestion
"that immigration be not restricted as at present proposed, but
on the contrary encouraged — of course, barring the physically
incapacitated and those of bolshevistic turn of mind — bringing
into America those who can be Americanized without the hyphen,
and educating these people to work. If we were to make a doctor,
we would educate him to that profession in order that he might
produce the best results. Business colleges and schools specializ-
ing in economics have increased in number and matriculates since
1880 to a very surprising degree, because it was found necessary
to educate people to do business. So with out immigrants, who
will to a very large percentage be destined to work with their
hands. They should be educated to work. The small minority of
immigrants who possess greater ability than the ordinary will
work out their own salvation without any assistance from others,
and we need not, therefore, treat of this small minority here.
Takes Lead In 30 Years.
"America today is classed as one of the leading powers, and in
another generation, if the immigration continues to flow in and
those immigrants are properly handled, America will be. in our
opinion, the leading nation without any competition. We have the
resources, we will have the people, and we will have the producers.
If America is to be robbed of this first position, the act w^ill have
to be accomplished inside of twenty-five years."
At this point in its report the committee delivered an opin-
ion that unionism is not only of no benefit to employers, but
that it actually militates against the welfare of the union w^orker.
because, after all, the law^ of supply and demand controls the
wages and other matters pertaining to labor regardless of union-
ization. The committee said: "The war just passed has given
us some interesting figures on the wages of labor and unionism
as a medium to better results. Unskilled, unorganized labor in-
creased its wages 142 per cent over the pre-war level. Skilled
labor, which had organized through the medium of its leaders,
succeeded in raising the rate of its wages only I 1 7 per cent, and
practically every trade suffered the expense of a costly strike, which
reduced their annual earning power. These figures in them-
selves are very significant, and to your committee is proof posi-
tive that wages are subject to the law of supply and demand.
Labor is a commodity; the laborer is never a commodity. Admit-
ting that unions do not in any way assist in the betterment, they
should be very carefully watched so that they do not gain political
power. We have only to look today to England, who was the
leading nation of the world, and see her plight, due entirely to
labor unionism. Australian laws, directed by the unions, have
made it a very difficult country in which to manufacture, and in
our own country the far west is coming somewhat under the
control of the unions and is suffering from the manufacturers'
standpoint.
Conservation of Materials
Relative to the conservation of materials the committee recom-
mended first that the piano box or shook be re-used and in gen-

Home-Made Redrier for Small Veneer Room
By H\ Alexander
A few days ago a friend of mine, a machinery salesman, came
into my office on one of his periodical visits and I was complain-
ing to him that we were having some difficulty and spending a
lot of time jointing our veneers owing to the fact that we had
got hold of a lot of stuff that was all wrinkled and buckled. He
replied in his usual breezy manner, "That's easy, old top; go
spend some of the money you earn so easily and buy yourself a
redrier." I replied that if a redrier cost somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of a hundred dolliira instead of up in the thousands it
might be an easy matter to act on his suggestion. A redrier
was absolutely out of the question in our plant because, in the
first place, we would not have enough work for one and in
the second place if 1 even suggested the expenditure to the man-
agement 1 would probably be looking for a new job immediately
after.
When 1 impressed these facts on Mr. Salesman he extended
his sympathy, but did not volunteer anything of a helpful nature
until he was preparing to leave when he suddenly remembered a
home-made veneer drier he had seen in a plant some where years
before. He sketched it out for me roughly as near as he could
remember and between us we developed it until w^e were fairly
certain we had something that would be practical. When the
idea was explained to me it seemed as if this was exactly what
1 was looking for, because it looked as if it would only require
a moderate expenditure to construct it. I haven't built it as yet
but 1 am going to and 1 offer the idea to readers of Hardwood
Record because there may be some of you in the same position
as myself. Before describing it, however, 1 will caution you the
same as my friend the machinery salesman cautioned me. He
said: "Now, Bill, I'm not trying to tell you this thing is as good
as one of the plate redriers that are on the market. It is a
substitute at best and, perhaps a crude one, but if you think it
will help you out go ahead and make one. Remember this,
however, if the thing blows up and puts you into a procession
with some men walking slow behind you, it'll be your own funeral
so to speak, and all you can come on me for is a bunch of
flowers. Further than agreeing to contribute those flowers, 1
take no responsibility." Cheerful sort of a devil, isn't he? All
the same 1 see no reason why it should blow up and personally am
more than willing to take the chance.
The first thing to do in constructing this drier is to erect four
upright posts E. Then a number of plates A are secured to
these posts at intervals. The plates A are made up with a chamber
for steam, as show^n in the enlarged section. Where the steam
pipes are attached to the plates the metal is left thicker on the
flanged edges so the necessary boring and tapping can be done.
This is shown at the sketch J. The next thing is to make a num-
ber of boards B, two for each plate, one on each side. The
veneers go in between these boards and the hot plates. The next
thing is to provide mechanism for squeezing the veneers into
contact with the plates. This is done by making four frames,
two at each end of the drier, see C and D. The ends of the boards
B are attached to these frames, the lower series to one frame
and the upper series to the other. it will be noticed that the
stiles on the frame D are wider than those of C. This is so
that the series of boards attached to this frame can be notched
out at the corners and extended through C and be screwed to the
stiles on D.
The frames C and D slide up and down on the posts, being op-

Terfect Drying ^Jllways
Correct drying is the most exacting science in woodworking. It
is consistently accornplished in Wood-Mosaic plants through the
employment of recognized experts and exacting care in selecting
kiln operators. So perfect has the Wood-Mosaic system become
that it is able to furnish veneers guaranteed to specific moisture
content and lumber dried correctly for the purpose intended. Our
veneer and lumber dryers have all been selected after long experi-
ence and painstaking investigation. They are so constructed and
arranged as to be adaptable specifically to the different require-
ments of any kind or thickness of stock. Their operation has been
scientifically checked by laboratory experts and found correct. Four
Textile dryers do the work in the veneer plants — twenty-one mod-
ern kilns in the lumber plants.
Wood-Mosaic hardwood lumber and veneers in walnut, oak and
poplar are always in demand because of selected timber, splendid
manufacture and always perfect drying.

erated by the straps G which are attached to the semi-circular
blocks F. It will be seen that this raises the series of boards on
the top side of the plates and lowers the bottom series simultane-
ously, the semi-circular blocks being attached to the shaft on the
floor. H is bolted to F in order to get a good "bite" on the
shaft. L is the pipe that feeds live steam into the plates and
M is the drain. This is the arrangement as nearly as my friend
could remember it but if some of your mechanical geniuses find
something to criticise please remember that 1 am not publish-
ing this with a view to starting a controversy but merely as a
suggestion to some fellow who may require something of the
kind. If you think you know a better way go to it, or better
still, pass it along so we can have a look at it.
To use this drier slip your veneers in on the plates A and
then bring the boards B into contact by means of the lever K,. Now
you will probably notice that the difference between the rig and a
real drier is that you only have a hot plate on one side of your
veneer, with a cold board on the other, whereas with the standard
plate redrier you have a heated plate on both sides of the veneer.
Then, of course, there is the matter of capacity so you w^ill see
why my friend emphasized the fact that it was a substitute.
Nevertheless, for a plant with a minimum amount of redrying
to do this machine should fill the bill nicely. There is one more
point I would like to discuss and that is the one that led up to
the machinery man's remark about the funeral. What kind of
metal should be used for the hot plates? One suggestion was
boiler plate but I think boiler plate would be absolutely unneces-
sary. It is not as if there would be any great pressure of steam
for a drier; no more in fact than on a glue boiler and these are
mode of cast iron. 1 think it would be perfectly all right to have
patterns made and have the plates cast at the foundry, then
have the necessary machine work done so that the two halves
would fit together closely. This is just a point that came up in my
mind and I would advise any person interested in a drier of this
kind to look into the matter unless they are competent to decide
offhand for themselves.
Pleas of Not Guilty Entered
Charles E. Morrice. of Peru. Ind., former sales manager of the
IXL Furniture Company, of Goshen, Ind.» and Willis D. Widner,
of Auburn, Ind., formerly production manager of the company,
who are charged with conspiracy to violate the revenue act of
1918 in Federal court here, entered pleas May 7 of not guilty.
Benjamin F. Deahl, president of the company, indicted on the same
charge, entered a demurrer to the indictment. Deahl was repre-
sented in court by Samuel Ralston, former governor of Indiana and
one of the most prominent attorneys of the state. The Federal
case arose out of testimony in criminal cases tried in the state
courts some time ago in which Charles E. Morris was acquitted on
charges of en\bezzlement and larceny connected with the funds of
the plant.
Furniture Man Dies from Injuries
Orange Ives, assistant superintendent of the Tindall-Wagner

from injuries he received in an automobile accident which occurred
May I 5 at a culvert three miles north of that city. Mr. Ives did
not regain consciousness followring the accident, his death being
caused directly from a fracture at the base of his skull. The auto-
mobile in which Mr. Ives was a passenger was crowded ofl the
road by another car going north toward Indianapolis.
The S. S. Cox Showcase Company, North Manchester, has filed
papers with the secretary of state extending the period of its cor-
porate existence for forty years.

Demand on Indiana Plants Improves
Furniture manufacturers at Evansville, Ind., as well as those at
Tell City, Ind., Jasper, Ind., Henderson, Ky., and Owensboro, Ky.,
report that there has been a picking up in their business during
the past month and in most of those cities the factories are being
operated on better time than they have at any time since the first
of the present year. At Evansville the plants of the Bockstege
Furniture Company and the Never-Split Seat Company are now
running on full time and the plant of the Karges Furniture Com-
pany is being operated on a schedule of forty-two hours a week.
Quite a few of the plants now are running from forty-two to fifty
hours a week. Things are gradually getting better and the
manufacturers are feeling greatly encouraged at the outlook and
believe that trade is going to gradually improve. The Evansville
furniture factories are in the market for more lumber, especially
quartered white oak and plain white oak lumber and the prices of
these two items are inclined to stiffen some. The conditions in
the East have greatly improved, according to the Evansville
manufacturers, and they report they are shipping some furniture
to that section now. The manufacturers report that trade condi-
tions in the South and West are still chaotic but in their opinion
things will change for the better in those sections within from
thirty to sixty days. The depression was first felt in the East,
they point out, and later it was felt in the West and South. They
argue that the East is first to show signs of revival and that the
Central West will soon feel the revival that is now being felt in the
East. The conditions taken as a whole have improved a whole
lot during the past month or six weeks. Within two or three
months the Evansville manufacturers believe that things will be
something like normal again. The manufacturers are going ahead
with their plans for the September market and believe that this will
have an effect of stimulating the furniture business. The furniture
manufacturers right now are more encouraged over the trade
situation than they have been at any time since the beginning of
the business depression last year. They say that labor troubles are
fewer, in fact, no labor troubles are reported in Evansville and that
there is a better outlook in every way.

Price and Grades of Mahogany in Guatemala
There seems to be no graded lumber for home consumption in
Guatemala. Some graded lumber is sold for export to the United
State as firsts and seconds and as No. I common. These grades,
however, can not be considered as final, since the local exporters
are not sufficiently acquainted with the rules of grading to accom-
plish this. The price received for mahogany lumber in Guatemala
City, the only place in Guatemala where there is enough sold to
determine a price, ranges from $100 a thousand feet to perhaps
$125 when mahogany is scarce on account of heavy export buying.
Grades such as are known in the United States do not enter into
the transactions.
Most of the mahogany lumber sold in Guatemala City is known
as No. I common and sells for about $100 per thousand feet.
This No. 1 common is what is left after the Nos. I and 2, or clear
lumber, have been picked out for shipment to the United States.
Some "mill-run" lumber lumber as it comes from the mill w^ith-
out selection — is also sold in Guatemala City and brings about
the same price.
The present average price for Nos. I and 2 mahogany lumber for
export to the United States is about $150 f. o. b. San Jose. A few^
orders were shipped last year at prices ranging from $170 to $230
per thousand feet for Nos. 1 and 2 mahogany lumber, but these
prices included agent's commission and were unusually high. —

Miller Piano Company Sold
The S. W. Miller Piano Company, of Sheboygan, on May 1 8 closed
a deal whereby its entire plant and equipment was acquired by the
Sheboygan Fibre Furniture Company for a consideration reported
to be $50,000. This includes a three-story factory building, 56 by
182 feet, a warehouse, and power plant, 30 by 40 feet, and about
six acres of land. The Miller plant adjoins that of the Sheboygan
Fibre Furniture Company at 2246-2250 North Fifteenth street.
The latter company's plant was badly damaged by fire some time
ago. The Miller company intends to remain located in Sheboygan
and is seeking suitable buildings, or may build an entirely new
plant. It has always had more floor space than the business
actually required, as a consequence of which an offer for its factory
was accepted. The Fibre Company is capitalized at $1 50,000 and
its officers are: President, Otto Mueller; vice-president, Charles
Ackerman; secretary and treasurer, J. S. Rank; general superin-
tendent, Jerome Freiheer.
The Inland Furniture Company is the name of a new corporation
which has been organized at Sheboygan w^ith an initial capitaliza-
tion of 500 shares of common stock without par value, to engage
in the manufacture of furniture of all kinds, fine woodwork, etc.
The incorporators include Egbert Zimmerman, E. L. Brimm and
Theodore Benfey, attorney.
Manufacturing Climate for Woodworking Shops
Probably the only people \vho can work where it is never too
hot or too cold, too damp or too dry, are the carpenters in the
wood shop at the Forest Products Laboratory. It is possible to
keep the climate more nearly the same there than in any other
spot, through the use of a unique system of water sprays, heating
coils and fans, which condition all the air in the rooms every few
minutes. Such great pains are not taken primarily, however, for
the comfort of the workmen, but so that the delicate experimental
wooden parts they are manufacturing will not swell or shrink while
being cut and fitted together. Some such control of atmospheric
conditions is needed in every shop doing fine woodworking. Make-
shift methods, such as sprinkling water or wet sawdust on the
floor, have been in common use for hundreds of years, but now the
woodworking factories are asking for a better and more automatic
^vay of controlling atmospheric conditions. Some large factories
are adopting the laboratory system, and it is hoped that soon the
system will be simplified enough to replace the sprinkling can in
even the smallest shop.

Stresses in Laminated Wood Construction
Ihc use of heavy and light material of the same species in
laminated or glued-up wood construction has less injurious effect
than has been generally supposed. Laminated wood specimens
under observation at the Forest Products Laboratory show little
weakening or tendency to warp from this cause. Most warping
and checking in laminated construction can be traced to one of
two causes. The first is the use of plain-sawed and quarter-
sawed lumber in the same construction, and the second is the
combination of material of different moisture content.
Plain-sawed lumber of any species shrinks and swells more
than quarter-sawed lumber; and when the two kinds are glued
together, they pull against each other with every change in mois-
ture content. If the block containing such a combination is kept
for a long time in the same atmospheric condition, the stresses
die out, because the block checks or changes shape more or less
to relieve the stretched condition of its fibers. As soon as the
atmospheric conditions change, new stresses will be set up.
If boards of different moisture contents are glued together,
internal stresses will result from the unequal shrinkage of the
boards as their moisture contents equalize through seasoning. In
some blocks made at the laboratory these stresses were large
enough to rupture the wood. If the wood is not ruptured, the
stresses will disappear permanently in time, but the block will
h'ave changed its shape somewhat in getting rid of them.
From these facts it becomes apparent that for laminated-wood
articles where strength and accurate shape are required, it is
desirable to use all plain-sawed or all quarter-sawed material, to
have all pieces at a uniform moisture content when glued, and
to prevent as far as possible subsequent moisture changes by
means of moisture-resistant coatings. For the manufacture of
rougher articles where slight changes in form are of no conse-
quence, these precautions are of much less importance.
Amos K. Hollowell Dies at Ripe Age
Announcement has been made of the death of Amos K. Hol-
lowell, president of the Indiana Lumber & Veneer Company, which
occurred at his home, 2507 College avenue, Indianapolis, Ind., May
I 5. Mr. Hollowell was seventy-six years old and had been a resi-
dent of Indianapolis for forty-five years, having come to that city in
1876, when the Nordyke & Marmon Company moved their plant to
Indianapolis from Richmond, having entered their employ in 1875.
He was treasurer of the Nordyke 6c Marmon Company until 1895,
when he resigned to devote his time to the affairs of the Indian
Lumber 6c Veneer Company.
Mr. Hollowell was well know^n among church and educational
workers over the state. For twenty years hp served on the board
of trustees of Earlham College, Richmond, and was president of the
board most of the time. At the time of his death he w^as president
of the board of management of the Colored Orphans' Home of
Indianapolis, having held the office for fifteen years. He served as
a director for a number of years of the Bertha Ballard Home Asso-
ciation, he was an active member of the Anti-Saloon League and
was president of the permanent board of Western Yearly Meeting
of the Friends' Church.
Australian Artificial Veneers
Announcement that a process for making composition veneers
has been invented in Australia and that this product will soon be
placed on the market, is contained in a statement in the March 18
report of the Department of Commerce. The report says:
"A recent Australian invention of an artificial composition simi-
lar to veneer should be of interest to manufacturers in proximity to
large supplies of waste material of vegetable origin, such as saw-
dust. As patent applications are pending in Australia and other
countries, the inventor is at present reticent in furnishing details
other than that the substance is worked up entirely from waste
fibrous products and other vegetable matter, and that sawdust can
be utilized in considerable quantities in the manufacture of the
cheaper grades of the composition. The trade name "Keltona"
has been applied to the new substance by the originators.
British Demand for Birch Plywood
American manufacturers of plywood from northern hardwoods
will no doubt be interested in reading what a London journal,
"Timber & Woodworking Machinery," has to say relative to the
demand for birch plywood from Finland and America. *'As regards
birch plywood, there is undoubtedly a very steady and large de-
mand for a good production, but this market is hampered by the
rather extensive stocks of third quality," this journal says. "Birch
is a wood which is demanded for special work, and there has always
been somewhat of a tendency to lag behind demand in the matter
of supplies. Just now the demand show^s distinct signs of improv-
ing, and the development in the use of plywood for special purposes
is greater even than was anticipated, and is distinctly embarrassing
to the mills, not only on account of the disorganization in the fac-
tory naturally involved in the cutting out of special sizes, but
because the demand in this particular direction invariably takes the
form of first and second quality. The position is a somewhat diffi-
cult one. Fhe popularity of birch largely depends upon three
conditions: In the first place, it is a more suitable wood for taking
polish; secondly, being manufactured in equal ply, it allows the
necessary margin for the final sanding and preparing; and, thirdly,
it comes from sources such as Finland and America, where the
question of grading has been more rigorously attended to, and con-
sequently there prevails a greater feeling of security in regard to
the question of quality of birch than is the case with|alder. where,
w^ith very few exceptions, the names of the mills anil the districts
from which it comes are generally unknown. Birch is a particu-
larly knotty wood, and the problem of the mills is to produce
sufficient first and second quality, and yet maintain their grading.
If they lowered this grading, they Would destroy one of the main
reasons for the undoubted preference shown for birch. By main-
taining their standard, they increase the percentage of third qual-
ity, and are embarrassed in two directions. In the first place, they
have difficulty in keeping pace with the demand for first and second
quality, and manufacture huge stocks for which there does not at
present exist so insistent a demand. Nevertheless, during the last
year the demand for third quality Finnish has grown enormously,
and this is due entirely to the fact that in the meantime the users
generally have become acquainted with it. The term, third quality,
raises a certain degree of prejudice, due to 'the fact that it often
covers a multitude of sins. We would remind buyers generally that
goods of unknown origin and doubtful quality can be. and indeed
are, repeatedly sent forward in the knowledge that the manufac-
turer is generally not traced. In the case of a mill where the agents
adopt the policy of advertising the manufacturer's name and in-
troducing him personally to the buyers, such a course cannot be
followed, as a shipment of inferior goods would strangle the policy
of publication. We would, therefore, impress upon the trade gen-
erally the advisability of paying greater attention to third quality
coming from mills that are known, and the records of which are
clean."

(Cuntinucd from innjc 32)
eral that all materials going into the manufacture of pianos re-
ceive the "greatest amount of use, subjected to the smallest amount
of waste and every purchase of material consumed to the great-
est possible extent."
In detail the following was said relative to the conservation of
wood: "The forests of the country are the subject around which
most of the activity of this committee revolves, because of the
fact that more wood is being consumed than is being produced.
Of the lumber used for pianos, about five feet are consumed to
every foot grown. The largest consumer of luniber in the piano
industry is the box maker. There is more lumber in the piano
shook than in the piano case, and this is one case where the piano
manufacturer can assist in the work of conservation — that is, in
the re-use of the piano shook. It ought to be a practical matter
to have shooks returned to the factory for re-use under the pres-
ent day conditions over a radius of 200 to 250 miles, and a
greater distance if the promised reduction in freight rates takes
place.
"Also, in the construction of the box, the requirements for
boxes are less exacting in the summertime than they are in the
winter, and it would be a matter of timber as well as expense
if manufacturers of upright boxes would put pieces of hemlock
in portions of the box that are not subject to any strain."
An important sidelight on the recommendation for the re-use
of the piano shook \vas brought out by members at a subsequent
session. Certain members called attention to the fact that railroads
over which they have been shipping have begun to impose a penalty
charge of a first class rate and a half for empty containers. One
manufacturer said he had found that this made the return of the
piano box cost more than the box was worth and he had been forced
to notify his customers to return no more boxes until further
notice. Others reported a similar experience and it was said
that this rate would also affect return of empty varnish drums.
The matter was referred to the traffic committee with recommenda-
tions that relief be sought.
Work Resumed on Columbia Plant
Work is progressing again on the big cabinet plant of the
Columbia Craphaphone Company at Orangeville, in the northeast-
ern suburbs of Baltimore, after an interruption of some time be-
cause of the high cost of materials and labor, and the big shops are
now so far advanced that in a short time it will be possible to set up
the machinery and begin actual operations. In the yard adjoining
the plant there are assembled piles of costly hardwoods, said to be
the most extensive ever gotten together in this section, at least, the
assortments of lumber being appraised at not less than $1,000,000.
They include large quantities of mahogany and walnut, besides the
woods in more general use. Contracts which the Columbia Com-
pany has with other concerns for making its cabinets are running
out, and the way is thus paved for an early opening of the Baltimore
factory.
Louisville Veneer Maker Dies
George F. Kretschmer, 60 years of age, president of the South-
ern Veneer Manufacturing Company, of Louisville. Ky., died of a
complication of ills on May 19 at St. Joseph's Infirmary. He was
ill only one week. Mr. Kretschmer was a native of Germany, com-
ing to this country about forty years ago. In 1907 he established
the Southern company, which has grown rapidly, and he was presi-
dent of the concern until the time of his death. He is survived by
his wife, two daughters, four sons and a number of grandchildren.
The sons are George F. Kretschmer, Jr., who was actively engaged
in the business with his father, William Kretschmer, Louis and
Omar Kretschmer. The funeral was from the family residence and
burial at Cave Hill Cemetery.

Clubs and Associations
Louisville Is the Choice
Annnuucemeut was made in Louisville on May 15, to the effect that the
next annual meeting of the National Association of Commercial Fixture
Manufacturers, meeting in St. Louis, chose Louisville for the 1922 cod-
ventiun. in May, over .\tlantic Cit.v, following a fight for the convention
made by Carl L. Wedekind, of the R. MausfleUl & Son Manufacturing
Company, Louisville.
New Orleans Amends Memphis Sales Code
The Southwestern Hardwood Manufacturers* Club, at its regular
monthly meeting at Lumbermen's Quarters, lOS University Place, May 12,
conditionally adopted the Sales Code of the Memphis Lumbermen's Club,
which is to be voted on at the annual meeting of the National Hardwood
Lumber .\ssociation at rhiladelphia early in June.
The condition stipulated was that the name of the American Hardwood
Manufacturers' .Association should appear in a co-ordinate position with
that of the National Hardwood Lumber Association in the proposed sales
code. The proposed code was the subject of much discussion, most of It
of a favorable character and its adoption was unanimous after C. H.
.Sherrill of the SherrlU Hardwood Lumber Company of Paducah, Ky.,
Merryville. La., and New Orleans, proposed the insertion of the name of
the manufacturers.
W. A. Morgan, dealer in logs, "Vicksburg, Miss., in a communication to
the cJub, called attention to an act of the Louisiana General Assembly
of 191S, which makes mandatory and exclusive the use in this state of
the Scribner-Doyle rule in the measurement of logs, and he called upon
the club to exert its influence to have the act repealed. Mr. Morgan's
letter stated that while the Scribner-Doyle rule might be all right for the
measurement of pine logs, it works most inequitably upon vendors of
hardwood timber. The letter was referred to the legislative committee
of the club with instructions to make an investigation into the matter
with the view of making a proper presentation of it to the forthcoming
session of the General -Assembly tor relief.
Due to the tact that a large number of the members anticipate attend-
ing the Philadelphia convention early in the month, the club voted to
hold its June meeting on the second of the month, which falls on the
first Thursday, rather than on the second Thursday, as heretofore.
.Among those aildressing the meeting were C. J. Cnppuck. ])i-esiileiit :
A. C. Bowen, secretary ; W. B. Morgan, of S. T. Alcus & Co., New Orleans ;
John Deblieux, Soniat & Deblieux, Inc., Opelousas, La. ; J. "W. Bailey.
Eastman-Gardiner Hardwood Lumber Company, Laurel, Miss., and others.
The meeting was well attended by leading hardwood manufacturers from
the three states of Texas, Louisi;ina and Mississippi, comprising the club.
Exporters Meet in Philadelphia, June 8
According to the preferences of a practically united membership the
semi-annual meeting of the National Lumber Exporters' Association will
be held on June S at the Bellevue-Strattord Hotel, in Philadelphia, the date
selected being the day before the meeting of the National Hardwood Lum-
ber Association in the same place. The time and locality were chosen on
the theory that many of the National Lumber Exporters' .Association mem-
bers would like to attend also the sessions of the National Hardwood Asso-
ciation, in order to familiarize themselves with the views held by the larger
body and to co-operate in any steps taken for the betterment of the trade.
The close proximity of Philadelphia to the seashore was another factor,
the westerners especially being likely to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity of the eastern visit to go to -Atlantic City for a few days. A large
attendance is looked for because of the various important matters to come
up. The National Lumber Exporters' Association officers will present then-
reports and trade conditions will receive an extensive analysis based upon
the experiences of the individual members.
South Bend Plans to Land Directorship
-At the regular semi-monthly meeting of the South Bend Hardwood Club
held Monday, May IG, it was decided that South Bend should be repre-
sented in the directorate of the National Hardwood Lumber Association, it
being shown that South Bend had a total of one-sixth of the Indiana
membership in this association.
It was unanimously decided to place the name of John I. Shafer of the
John I. Shafer Hardwood Lumber Company, South Bend, before the con-
vention in Philadelphia June 9 and 10. Several of the members of the
Hardwood Club will attend the convention.
There is no man more fitted for this position than Mr. Shafer, and it
is the belief of his friends that he will be welcomed with open arms as a
director in the National association by his lumbermen friends all over the
United States.
.\ rcsolutiim was offered and unanimously adopted endorsing the move-
ment to make the week of May 22 to 28 forest protectidn week, and the
publicity committee was requested to take the matter up with all social
clubs in South Bend asking their co-operation in guarding against forest
fires by hunters, fishermen and other sportsmen.
Business was reported good by all members present, and all seemed verj'
optimistic regarding market conditions.

Taylor Invites Memphians to Convention
Horace G. Taylor, president of the National Hardwood Lumiicr .\sso-
elation, was the special guest of the Lumbermen's Club of Memphis at the
seml-UKuithly luncheon of this organization at the Hotel Gayoso. Satur-
day, May l-I, and, while partaking of the deleetables provided on this occa-
sion, he extended a very warm personal invitation to ail nieinl)ers of this
body to come to the annual of the association at Philadelphia .Tune 9-10.
.As a matter of fact, he strongly urged this course, partly because of the
strength of the Memphis delegation in the association itself and partly
because of the work the club must do, through its sales code committee
and its mendiership. to seciirc adoption by the association of the code
which is now being offered for Incorporation In the Rules Book of that
organization.
"Some of you may be a little 'sore' over conditions in the hardwoml
industry." he said, "but I know that none of you Is a grouch. Forget
the hard times, take advantage of the lull in business, borrow the money
and come up. It will do you good. It is 'designed' that way. None of
the essential things will be omitted from the program. There are also
some very able 'critics and purveyors' In charge at Philadelphia and the
occasion prondses to he a both pleasant and profitable one.
"Secretary of Labor Pavis will speak on certain phases of the labor
situation and he is amply fitted, through his rise through the labor fiebl
up to the capitalistic class. There will be other especially attractive
speeches on siit>jects of paramount Interest to the lumbermen. The second
day will be 'Lumbermen's Day" when the members of the association will
have opportunity of exchanging views regarding their peculiar problems
"The question of forest conservation, too, is certain to come before the
annual, and, .so far as I am concerned. I think that the government, in
working out Its plans for forest conservation, should have due re,gard to
the rights of the nu-n who have used their hard-earned money for the
purchase of these properties."
Mr. Taylor said the association Inid enjoyed large growth during the
year, having secured more than 150 new members and now having a total
membership In excess of 1,400. He declared it had been "very generally
successful" and that the inspection ilepartment had proven self-sustaining.
despite the radical falling off in business. Error claimed in inspection, he
said, amounted to only 1% to 2 per cent while errors actually justified
by re-inspection were less than one-half of one per cent, a showing he
thought truly remarkable. As an lllustralion of the eutliuslasm in the
welfare of the association at Philadelphia. .Mr. Taylor reported that there
were only 50 lumbermen in that city eligible to membership and that the
association had exactly that many members there.
Ilesolutlons expressing the keen regret of the lumbermen over the
recent death of .1. V. Rush, head of the Rush laimber Ciunpany and former
president of this organization, were adopted by a rising vote. The resolu-
tions set forth that the members of this organization had not only lost
a very able worker but that they had also lost a real friend. Copies were
ordered spread on the ndnutes and sent to the fandly of the deceased.
.\ report submitted by the Sales Code committee indicatixl that 447 out
of 557 members of the National Hardwood Lumber .Association wlio had
res|ionded to the recent letter of the committee had Indicated that they
would support the code as written. A small percentage have indicated
that they will support the code with certain suggestions which they have
offered and it Is regarded as probable that some of these suggestions will
be Incorporated in this instrument.
The entertainment committee, which Is making plans for the trip of the
delegation from Memphis and the Memphis territory to Philadelphia, is
arranging for special sleepers in the event there are enough members
going to make his plan feasible.
f)ne application for membership was filed.
Membership Drive Opened
The Southern .-Vlluvial Land Association annouuces, co-incident with
the nandng of standing lommittces for the year, that a strong drive for
new members is to be made at once on the theory that every man who
owns lands or has interests in the alluvial regions of Arkansas. Mississippi
and Louisiana cannot help being benefited by the activities of the associa-
tion and should therefore contribute his share of the funds required for
the continuance of these activities. The committees were appointed by
W. II. Dick, president, at a meeting of the board a few ilays ago and it
may be noted that there is a general chairman of the membership com-
mittee from Mississippi, with a State chairman for both .Arkansas and
Louisiana.
The hoard, at this meeting, also Instructed F. D. Beneke. secretary, to
send a telegram to President Harding protesting against his signing of tne
immigration bill which has passed both houses of congress. This protest
is based on the view of the board that the bill will not jirevent undesir-
ables from coming to the United States while it will, at the same time,
slow down appreciably the movement of the farming element from Euro-
pean countries so necessary to the development of farm lands throughout
the United States, including the rich alluvial empire. The telegram char-
acterized the immigration bill, which seeks to restrict immigration during
the year ending Jnue 1. 1022. to 3 per cent of the nationals in this coun-
try as per the census of 1910. as "useless, short cut legislation."

tically worthless. When pressed to furnish proof of its assertion the
company stated in court the lumber had been so poor that It was burned.
The judge of the court in which the case was tried before a jury pointeil
out that this was virtual destruction of the evidence, and that under the
circumstances there was nothing to do other than to award the plaintiff
the full amount claimed, which was done. Mr. Alcock consequently got
judgment for the sum of $9,091. with interest from the time ilellvery whs
made.

CHICAGO
W. A. Pickering of the W. R. Pickering I. umber Company of Kansas
City visited Chicago about two weeks ago upon liis return from Los
Angeles, Cal.. wliere arrangements have been made for D. H. Stoinmetz, Jr.,
to manage an office wliich will be opened in that California city. Mr. Pick-
ering was accompanied to Chicago by D. D. Stoinmetz, Sr., general man-
ager of the Standard Lumber Company, which is owned by the Pickering
Interests.
Promise of an early termination of the tie-up of building activities in
Chicago is given in the meetings of the Joint arbitration board of the
Building Trades' Council and representatives of the liuilding Construction
Employers' Association at the Chamber of Commerce.
The sessions were begun Wednesday, Jlay IS, after both sides had agreed
to the appointment of Thomas S. Kearney, head of the trades' council, and
Edward M. Craig, secretary of the employers' association, to negotiate an
adjustment of the wage dispute. It is understood the contractors have
agreed to abide by whatever agreement these two reach.
The uiiinns. howi'ver, will have to lake separate and individual action on
the decision, but it is presumed that if one union accepts the other ones
affiliated with the Building Trades' Council will do likewise.
Virtually all building operations in Chicago, with the exception of small
residence jobs that were already in process of construction, were stopi)ed
May 1 when the contractors stood pat on their declaration that they would
pay only ?1 an hour for skilled and 70 cents an hour for unskilled build-
ing labor. This meant a reduction of 20 per cent for the skilled and 30
per cent for the unskilled labor. The union workers would not stay on the
Jobs for this scale and the work stopped.
In the meantime the majority of the small jobs have been completed
until now the contractors claim only 3 per cent of local huilding labor is
employed.
During the absence of his brother, C. L. Faust, in Europe, J. H. Faust,

BUFFALO
The wreck of the barge Miztec, which went down in a storm in Lake
Superior on May 14, was discovered three days later by the captain of
the Grand Marais coastguard station. The barge lay in thirty-six feet
of water, five miles from the shore. Capt. Pederson and live of the crew-
were drowned. The bodies have not been recovered. The Miztec had
taken the usual course of wooden vessels on the lakes. She was first a
carrier of grain, then was put into the lumber trade, and for a long time
was towed by the steamer Toltec, which was built about the same year.
She always traded between this port and the upper lakes and will be
missed on account of the fast-disappearing lumber fleet. She was owned
by Captain O. W. Blodgett, of Bay City, in late years.
The Batavla tfc New York Woodworking Company, Batavia, N. Y., has
Increased its capital stock from $50,000 to $100,000. The company has

BALTIMORE
James W. Frizzell, a retired picture frame manufacturer, who was for
years in business on West Baltimore street, this city, died suddenly May 17
at his home near Frederick road. He was 74 years old and well known
in the trade as well as for his prohibition activities,
J. O. Froelich. formerly connected with the Brown Bros. Lumber Com-
pany when it conducted hardwood sawmill operations at Escota, N. C, Is
now with the Brown-Bledsoe Lumber Company, in the Munsey Building,
tSaltimore, wholesale dealers. The mill of the Brown Bros. Company was
destro.ved by Are last year and owing to the depletion of the timber supply
was not rebuilt.
Stabley Bowen of the well-known Glasgow timber firm of A. Baird &
Co. stopped in Baltimore recently on the way back to New York after an
extended trip through the lumber producing and distributing sections x)t
the ctJuntry. Mr. Bowen had been in the United States for several months
and had covered a great deal of territory. He said that business on the
other side w'as as quiet as ever.
Gustavc A. Farber, London representative of Russe & Burgess. Inc., of
Memphis, Tenn., who has been in the United States since last December,
and has for some time past been looking after affairs at the Memphis
office during the absence of William H. Russe in Europe, expects to sail
for London shortly after the semi-annual meeting of the National Lumber
Exporters' Association in Philadelphia June 8, first visiting friends in
Baltimore.
The recently incorporated Hagerstown Lumber Company at Hagerstown,
Md., is rapidly getting in a stock of lumber and will soon be ready for
business.
M. A. Hayes, sales manager for the R. E. Wood Lumber Company, Con-
tinental Building, this city, is back from a trip of several weeks to the
hardwood manufacturing regions of North Carolina and adjacent territory.
It was Mr. Hayes' first journey since he was named to the position he now
holds, and the main purpose was to get acqualntaned and study condi-
tions in the different sections. He put in some time getting in touch with
the furniture manufacturers of High Point and other places. On his way
back he stopped at Bristol to bring his family to Baltimore to take up
their permanent residence.
CLEVELAND
.\cceptance by the Chamber of Commerce of the challenge of the Cleve-
land Federation of Labor for settlement in the courts of the charge that
the Chamber of Commerce is conspiring to introduce the open shop in
Cleveland by methods in violation of the Valentine and Sherman anti-
trust laws is the center of interest for hardwood dealers, together with
all other branches of the building trade In Cleveland.
The issue affects the strike of 25,000 building laborers, which is tying
up $25,000,000 worth of building in this city.
When the charges was made by the Cleveland Federation that the action
of the Chamber of Commerce constituted "secondary boycott and combina-
tion In restraint of trade," the Chamber of Commerce immediately laid
the charges before County Prosecutor Stanton and U. S. District Attorney
Wertz, aud demanded that the Federation bring forth proof of the acts
charged.
While hardwood dealers feel that an airing of the situation of this kind
is likely to bring a quicker result in the way of settlement of the building
strike, they nevertheless recognize the acrimonious nature of the con-
troversy which calls forth such action. An event of special importance
to the hardwood trade aud one which is being worked out rapidly during
the lull in the building trades is the proposed bureau of inspection, to be
organized for the service of consumers of hardwood and other lumber.
Consumers of hardwood, both contractors and manufacturing plants, are
enthusiastic about the new bureau, which is being worked out with the
May -ZT:. V.rjX
HARDWOOD RECORD
compU'te co-oiHTiitiiin ot the Clevelaiiil Hoaril ot Luiiihi:!' Pi'akTs. It is
expected that the new bureau will do away with a great many contro-
versies which arise over the amount and quality of lumber delivered on
specific orders, largely arising out of the habit ot many consumi'rs to maki'
no check of the tally or grade ot lumber upon delivery.
The bureau will be available at all times to checlJ up on the invoice ■1
all deliveries and ascertain whether the amount and grade ot luml" r
delivered is up to specification. The bureau will be separate and imle-
pendenl and all concerned feel that a groat many unnecessary controveries
will be avoided.
COLUMBUS
.According to a recent report ot E. E. Roberts, secretary ot the Ceiilr.il
Logmen's Bureau, which has beadijuarters in Columbus, there is lltlli'
demand for logs. Oak logs are moving very slowly and many are still ill
the tracks being offered from $25 to $45. Poplar logs, while not flooding'
the market like oak logs, are also quiet. On the other hand there is quite
a good demand for eastern cedar logs and pencil slats. Inquiries are ccmi
ing in slowly tor walnut logs and the buyers are proceeding cautiously. Hm
the whole ash logs are In the best demand ot any variety.
The Matthews Lumber Company, operating a yard and mill at 000 Snnlh
Central avenue, is making extensive improvements at tbc yards. Large
lumber sheds are being erected.
For the second time in two weeks firebugs ulleniiited to destroy tlie
yard of the Cones & Menefee Lumber Company at Broad and Anson streets.

but wore extinguished without damage.
The name ot the Charles L. Koch Company at Perrysburg has been
changed to the Koch Lumber Comiiany. with no change in the ownershiii

T. P. Kirby, until recently manager of the Louisville Lumber & Supply
Company at Louisville, O., has purchased an interest in the Lake County
Coal & Supply Company at Painesville after selling his interest in the
former concern.
The Gallant Lumber & Coal Company of Toledo has been chartered witb
a capital ot $30,000 by A. R. Gallant, L. J. Gifford and others.
L. Ji. Hay, a well known lumberman ot Columbus and head of the L. L
Hay Lumber Company, Is slowly recovering from partial paralysis, super
induced by taking cough drops.
The New York Ventilator & Screen Company of Dayton has been char
tered with a capital ot $10,000 by Samuel Hughes, W. Troy Powell :iii.l
others,
F. B. Pryor, sales manager ot the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company, speak
ing ot conditions in the hardwood trade, said : "There is a decidedly bet
ter tone to the trade, which is evidenced both by more inquiries and larger
orders. Retailers are buying better and orders are also being received from
the automobile, box and furniture trade. Prices while still showing a
wide spread are not as irregular as formerly. The upper grades of hard
woods are very scarce and that has the effect of switching the demand tc.
the medium and lower grades."
E. M. Stark, vice-president and treasurer ot the American Column .<i
Lumber Company, is another ot the Columbus hardwood producers to see
a much better feeling in the trade, with brighter prospects for the future.
He reports a better demand from manufacturing establishments, especially
those making boxes, automobiles and furniture. Mr. Stark recently
returned from a business trip to Buffalo.

EVANS VI LLE
The reduction in the cost of prepared lundjer iov homes here dnrini^ the
past two weeks has called attention to the fact that everything in the
building line is having its inning toward the lower trend of prices. Mill
men generally are looking for the dosing of many contracts that have
been waiting for the last word in redviction, ami it seems now to have
come. Some of the mills that furnish plans for bungalows and take ciiu-
traets have had many Inquiries on tiieir books for some months, and these
will now be followed up in the hope that people will see the value of
building now instead of later. The Evansvllle Planing Mill Company,
which announced the reduction In prices for the mill men of the city, has
announced that a 1wo-stor.v brick addition will be huill immediately to
take care of the new work that is already in sight. Work on the addition
will start at once. The company is building a number of resident buildings
in the city this summer.

MEMPHIS
The York Lumber & Manufacturing Ccmipauy is Hearing coni[ib'tioo of
its big plant in East Memphis on Bellevue avenue, which is being built
to replace the one burned some months ago. Several departments have
already been placed in operation, while the entire plant will be under
sti'am within less than thirty days.
.More hardwood plants have closed down in Memphis proper during the
past fortnight and not a single one that wjs previously out of commission
b.'is resumed operations. It is declared by members of the trade here that
the best information obtainable bears out the idea that liardwood produc-
tion throughout the valley territory does not amount to more than in
per cent of normal, with the tigure rather below this mark. It nmy he
said. also, that logging operations are practically at a standstill and that
no preparations are being made to resume these. Hardwood interests are
coniing more and more to the conviction that there will be very little
lumber produced this year that will be available for use during 1921. R. L.
.lurden of the Penrod-Jurden Company, Memphis, and Helena, Ark., is
authority for the statement that not a single hardwood mill in the latter
center is operating at the present time, the last one having suspended
iiuleliniely during the current week.

facturers being the first to testify.
.\. Boeckler. president of the Boeckler Lumber Company, testified that
members of the St. Louis Lumber Trade Exchange are required under
penalty of tine to figure a definite and uniform "service charge" in making
bids. This method was adopted in 1914.
R. S. Hoxie. manager of the exchange, said the manner of arriving a I
the sen-ice char,ge was for accountants to visit each firm which is a mem
ber of the exchange, get from its books the exact cost of handling lund)er,
which includes taking of lumber from cars, piling it in yards, etc. The ten
firms shown by the figures to be the most efficient are then separated and
au average of the cost of these ten is taken. That gives the uniform
service charge which all raemliers of the exchange are required to figure In
prices for lumber.
Assistant Attorney General Otis attempted unsuccessfully to get Hoxie
to admit that the exchange fixes prices at least to the extent the service
charge figured in the sale pri<e of lumber.
The Lumbermen's Exchange bulletin for May 18 contains a warning In

An arrt'hit was mnde recently on a charge of trespass against Ernesi
Boyer, aii allp-ged private detective, who is said to have installed a dictn
phone ill the home of Otto Burrows, 025 Spring street, a former employ<'
of the Talge Mahogany Company. Burrows was injured while in thi-
employ of the Taige company in 191G and suit was filed against the com
pany from which he received judgment of $4,500. This was carried to the
supreme court, where the decision was reversed and another suit was
filed. The police believe Boyer was endeavoring to obtain evidence against
Burrows to be used in the suit and for that reason installed the diclti-
phone in Burrows' home on a pretext that he was an employe of the tele-
phone company and had come to take wiring out of the house. The wire.-.
were connected tu sonic other wires placed in a nearby shed.

CHICAGO
The demand for hardwood lumber continues fairly good in this market,
with the manufacturer of flooring standing out as the heaviest buyer.
The most noticeable increase in demand is for No. 1 and No. 2 common
oak, which has caused a stiffening in prices. None of the wood consuming
industries outside of the flooring plants Is making any large purchases.
The buying policy remains hand-to-mouth, the orders being for one to
three cars in most instances. In the meantime there is increasing evidence
of the shortage of upper grades, while the lower grades do not seem to be
accumulating in tile same proportiou. The furniture makers are buying
somewhat better than the piano and other lines just at present. Hard-
wood lumbermen here are hopefully watching the outcome of the aunounce-
ment of the Railroad Labor Hoard that wages of rail employes will prob-
ably be cut an aggregate of $400,000,000. They expect this to bring about
an immediate cut in rates on lumber, which they firmly believe would soon
cause a marked increase in demand.

chases to small quiintitics. Their uecds in most cases are not larjic scp
they are unwilliDg to buy, except for immediate use. Some wholesnlrrs
believe that the market is showing a slightly larger amount of aotivh.v,
while others say comlitions are unchanged from a month ago. It is gc>n-
erally believed that it will be fall before any brisk business Is seen.
More strength has developed in the better grades of hardwoods during
the past two weeks, and especially in plain oak. This is regarded as quite
an encouraging sign and as indicating that the mill curtailment is begin-
ning to show its effects. iSome of the recent specialists in hardwoods at
cheap pricis have been revising their lists, and turning down some of Hi''
uR'ers which not long ago would have been accepted.
BOSTON
Improvement of a gradual kind continues to show itself right along in
the hardwood market here. Of course the business continues to be some-
what irregularly distributed and there are some dealers who will tell y<in
there Is no improvement in business. Apparently there is to be no boom
in trade, but improvement is to be of the slow and sure kind. The weak
tone to the lower grades is still admitted, as there continues to be con-
siderable accumulation. But in the upper grades there is a decidedly
(irmer tone and no more of the concession making which a while ago su
characterized the whole market. Improvement is chiefly noted in thr
demand from the furniture makers and from the hardwood yards. ThiTc
is as yet no appreciable bettering in the demand from the railroads or in
the export field. There is a little more being called for by the piami
makers, but they are not as yet at all encouragingly in the market, t'lu'
same is rather true still of the automobile body people and of the rbair
makers.
CLEVELAND
I'rices of hardwoods are stationary, with demand weak. The demand
for cypress has weakened further during the past week and recovery is not
looked for in the near future.
The almost complete tie-up in the building trades continues and the
larger hardwood dealers who have their fingers on the pulse of the situa-
tion do not see mucli hope in the immediate future. There are, however.
a few interior jubs not affected by the strike, and a small amount of hard-
wood is moving out in those directions.
Aside from the temporary lull in activity on account of the strike, funda-
mental conditions are good, and this accounts for the fairly firm prices
In spite of the weakened demand. This condition is well backed, and it is
the general opinion that the strike will be over and the men back at work
long before a break in the market occurs.
Atitomobile, furniture and other manufacturing industries are consnin
ing hardwood steadily, but they show no tendency to buy very far into the
future.
COLUMBUS
A much improved tone to the hardwood trade in Columbus and central
Ohio territory is reported, liuyers are now coming into the market better
and orders average a good deal more than formerly. The better feeling is
seen not only in retail circles but also among manufacturers, especially
those making boxes, automobiles and vehicles and furniture. All of these
industries show a tendency to buy and a number of fair-sized orders have
been booked from that source.
Retail stocks are not large iu any territory and they arc also ratbir
broken. With building operations increasing there is a better demand U>y
many hardwoods from that class of trade. Retailers apparently realizr
that the bottom has been reached and they are buying more liut^'rally than
formerly. There is a growing scarcity in the better grades, especially of
oak and poplar. This is having the effect of turning the demand towards
the medium and even lower grades.
With production at the mills still curtailed little Increase in dry stocks
is anticipated and as a result prices are expected to strengthen. There is
still a rather wide range but many of the extreme low quotations are not
heard. Strongest points are interior trim, lirsts and seconds oak and pop
lar and automobile stocks. Low grade stocks for box manufacturing are
also moving fairly well. Shipments are coming out promptly ami collec-
tions are hetti'r than formerly.
INDIANAPOLIS
I'roductiou remains on the increase among the woodworking industries
here and in the central Indiana district. The automobile body manufac-
turing plants are increasing production steadily and appear to have
sufficient orders to carry them for at least sixty days at present output.
The furniture factories are reporting some orders, though the increase
in business is not comparable with that in the body plants. During the
past week several furniture factory executives have returned from eastern
markets with reports that the East looks much more prosperous than it
has looked for some time. Some orders were placed, also, and these

including pianos and talking macUine cabinets, report a slight increase in
business, as ilo tbe box manufacturers. Among the retaller.s the situation
is worse. Demand lias fallen off appreciably since the last report, due

struction is Iwing i)ostponed until something definite is learned concerning
the ti'rms of the settlement when a settlement is made. Stocks in the

EVANSVILLE
There has been some iinprovonieiit iu the tr;uie u( the hardwood lumber
manufacturers lu Kvan.sville and southern Indiana durinj; the past two
weeks, and in the opinion of the manufaetureis the worst of the business
depression has passed away and they feel tliat from this time on there is
ffolng to t>e a better demand for lumber. Stocks are still low, due to the
fact that so few of tlie mills have been operating during the past three or
four months. It is pointed out that prices are bound to get better as the
demand for lumber increases. Few of the hardwood niiiis here are run-
ning at this time, and not many logs are being brought in at the present
lime. Trices are firmer than they were a mouth ago and there is less
price slushing now than there was for three months after the first of the
present year. Manufacturers say that the tone of the market is not only
better, but that more orders are coming in and that inquiries are more
numerous and they feel sure that some of these inquiries will lead to new
business a little later on. The retail lumber business is improving s<>me
along with the wholesale business. The various wood consuming factories
of Kvansville, as well as those at Tell City, Ind.. Jasper, Ind., Henderson.
Ky., and Owensboro, Ky., are being operated on longer time, and more
»)f these plants are now in the market for lumber. The general trade situa-
tion is a whole lot better and collections are holding their own. Manu-
facturers, as well as the retail dealers, are of the opinion that trade is
going to be better in June than it was in May, and they report that May
showed a nice improvement over the month of April. I'.ox manufacturers
>:iy that their trade is fairly gond.
MEMPHIS
Tlu' liar<lwood market does not present any striking new feature. The
ii'iic is showing steady improvement and the market is advancing Avith
considerable rapidity on tbe higher grailes and with a fair degree of
rapidity in the case of No. 1 common in red gum, oak, ash and some other
items. The recovery on tirsts and seconds from the level generally pre-
vailing some weeks ago when the market was at its worst has been some-
where between .$10 and $20 per thousand feet. The gain in No. 1 common
has not amounted to half as much as in firsts and seconds, and the
improvement in Nos. li and 3 common has been comparatively light. The
spread as l)etween firsts and seconds and No. 1 common is considered
very wide, and some consumers are placing their orders for the No. 1
common instead of firsts and seconds on this account.
Stocks, generally speaking, are decreasing because of the excess of sales
an<l shipments over the quantity being placed on sticks. It is conserva-
tively estimated that not more than 8 to 9 per cent of the total stock in
the southern hardwood field comprises firsts and seconds. It Is further
estimated that Nos. 2 and 3 common represent between 43 and 47 per
cent of the total holdings. The difference between the two is represented
by No. 1 common.
Production is failing to show increase. In tact, more mills, including
some of those which started up for temporary cutting of logs which had
to be saved from spoilage, have stopped running than have started. There
appears to be no general disposition on the part of owners of timber lands
to cut their timber and convert it into lumber under present relations
between supply and demand. Weather conditions have been much more
favorable during the past fortnight, but there is still considerable surface
and back water in the lowlands, making logging operations difficult. It is
not overstating the case, however, to say that the vast majority of manu-
facturers are "lying low," and are making no preiiarations whatever ti>
bring out fresh logs because they are not impressed with the advisability
of this course in the present situation. Voluntary curtailment, based on
the present relations between supply and demand, is cutting a vastly
larger figure in restricting hardwood output than unfavorable weather.
Still, the latter is a factor of considerable importance as indicated by the
fact that manufacturers have no hesitancy in saying that, even if they
were of a mind to get out logs and start up their machinery again, they
would be held in check to a marked extent by the presence of so much
water in tbe lowlands, where most of the timber lies.
Domestic consumers, with building trade Interests leading, are the prin-
cipal buyers of southern hardwoods. There is almost no business overseas.
In this connection, it may be noted that W. H. Kusse of Russe & Burgesa.
Inc., who has recently returned to Memphis after a stay of some weeks in
France and the Tnited Kingdom, is authority for the statement that set-
tlement of the reparations question ought to prove a stimulating factor
in the foreign situation and start a gradual return of buying on the part
of wholesalers and consuming interests. He is afraid the labor situation
in Kngland will prove a repressive influence for the immediate future
because of its serious interference with industry, but he is hopeful that
there will be steady improvement in the situation overseas, as affecting

I'.nsiness is decidedly streaky at the i)reseut time, it coming in spurts.
with a Bood week followed by a poor one. In fact, one operator claims
that it is as erratii' as a bush league player starting in the big leacnes.
One jobber and proilucer tells of a trip covering thousands of miles, and
producing very little business, and followed by a week of good mail orders,
that were not solicited. Two or three concerns have had oi'deTs oi a
hundred thousand feet or better within the past ten days, and such orders
look mighty good right now. Movmnent as a whole is in car lots, witli
some ndxed car business, as consumers in spite of the low production ami
l)romising shortage of high grades, continue l)U,v!ngin small lots as needed.
The vi'neer business generally is dull, plants operating with a small per-
centage of usual forces, while cores are especially quiet. However, it is
the general oiiinicm in the trade that slow business now will mean better
demand later on in the year, and at lietter prices <lue to the fad that
many items will be scarce.

MILWAUKEE
Thf principal i-ftnit of hanhvnod liindtcr operators in thi* North at this
time is to make prompt disposition of stocks at mills in order that a n-al
resumption of active production may be facilitated. Woods operations,
as customary at this period, have ceased, although some concerns are
carrying on summer operations on a small scale to compensate for the
ri'duct'd input of logs during the past winter, which was due to an
unusually mild season. Some concerns arc closing their mills as rapidly
as hardwood logs are sawed out. leaving the softwood logs in pnnd >n-
ih'ck storage until ne.-^t fall or winter.
Manufacturers in the North say that business has shown sonic real
signs of recovery in the last two or three weeks, nntl they look for a
resumption in trade measured almost wholly by the attitude of buihiing
trades laluir as to the rapidity or delay in accepting the reduced or deflated
wage scale which inevitably must be made effi'Ctive. It is encouragin.g to
note that labor is accepting reductions in many large centers, although thr
degree of decrease in wages has not yet been such that it is satisfactory
to the general scheme of readjustment.
Milwaukee woodworking concerns as a rule have rid themselves of
excessive inventori»'s. Restricted purchasing and increases in orders have
had their effect and the ratio of sales to stocks on hand is said to be
nu)re nearly ntprmal than for many months past. The existence of top
heavy stocks is one of the most serious obstacles to the ret*overy of busi-
ness and with this incubus about gone, there is greater possibility of doing
things in a constructive way as regards new buying of raw materials.
I'rices are nominally steady to firm, although hero and there signs

WHEN THE ABILITY TO
SERVE COUNTS MOST
When things are spotty; when your factory is
filled up for a couple of weeks and then is prac-
tically empty; when even though you k.noW
lumber is a good buy, you are afraid to stock up
and instead place rush orders for just what you
need — then is when a time-tried lumber organiza-
tion with a steadfast record for service and de-
pendability, is a real asset. Our many years ex-
perience; our diversified and modern manufac-
turing facilities and the varied assortment of
southern hardwoods, rotary veneers and plywood,
are as well adapted to give satisfaction in filling
today's hurried needs as in supplying big con-
tracts in more normal times.
Regardless of your position, this organization
merits your investigation.

The Way to Resume Is to Resume
That rcsiiiiiption of activities is under way in gratifying' fashion is evidenced liy wrders for certain . •
;nn- prodnction beyond our capacity to fill.
Der.iand for our H.\RD\VOOD FLOORING has increased to such extent that we liave been compelled
to decline to accept many orders.
True this almost unprecedented demand is accounted for largely by the sui)eriority of our flooring: but
it is fair to assume that it is in part accounted for bv greater activity in building construction.
"Ritter" Brand Flooring should be demanded where the "last word" in perfect flooring is required.
Otn- flooring because of its superior intrinsic quality and the excellence of our manufacture is the stand-
ard for comparison.
Our service is efficient and our desire is always to please.

There Is a T)ifference
Hardwood timber and manufadliuring plants
of the first class may in general be said to
be of average worth and merit. Preference
for the products of any certain standard
enterprise must therefore be based upon
more than mere physical excellence.
DlCKEHINTI
Ml SOUTHERN HARnA\OOnS |\ f
enjoy the advantage of high timber and
manufacturing quality — but xh^ preference
which they command in the open market is
due to the spirit of the organization behind
the plant — a spirit which prevails from the
tree to the General Manager's office — a
spirit founded upon four decades of setting
the standard in lumber values.

EMPHIS is visited by more do-
mestic and foreign buyers than
any other lumber center in the
country. Why? The alluvial
delta of the Mississippi river is famous as
the richest land in the world. The best
hardwoods grow on the best soil. The sale
of all this hardwood, the finest in the coun-
try, centers in or through Memphis. All
Southern species of satisfactory quality and
variety are available. Oak, gum, ash,
hickory, cottonwood, cypress, willow, tupelo,
red cedar. Memphis is the department
store of the hardwood industry — first in
quality, first in service. Let her serve you.

Review and Outlook
NfcW YORK

General Market Conditions
Sri'CESSFUL WEATHERING of tlie adversities attending pres-
ent busine.ss operation requires a high degree of courage, and
it is a glowing tribute to American business institutions that re-
sultant havoc has been confined to the insignificant portions so far
developed. Courage is essentially the child of faith and faith in
turn is evolved from cool judgment and patience. If these attri-
butes are sufficiently common in the personnel of the structure of
American business, the calm but irresistible course back to normal
]iroportions will be uninterrupted in its main current. The dan-
ger lies primarily in the moral effect of such currents and eddies
which are the resultant effect of local influences. There is no
fundamental reason for judging the course of major events by
local disturbances, because the world is voluntarily undergoing a
thorough housecleaning and is now in the process of rearranging
its furniture. The fact that a leg gets knocked off a kitchen table
here and a key knocked out of a piano there doesn't mean that all
of the work must stop. The repair of those breakages is merely
incidental to the main job.
More or less discouragement has attended what seems in some
sections to be a reversal of former tendency towards improvement.
This centers in the main about Chicago so far as the middle west-
ern country is concerned and, in a strict analysis, is due entirely
to the local situation. A one hundred per cent tie-up in such an
;ill-important industry as building construction can have no other
result than complete stoppage of the industries which feed build-
ing. Faith in the outcome and a calm reckoning of the effects of
the [iresent stoppage, w'ithout minimizing or allowing undue dis-
couragement, will bring back a full measure of reward. Any such
adverse influences as are felt at present are but eddies in the rising
tide, which in its future course must of necessity be deliberate in
its progress. The fact that buying power has been curtailed to
an extreme point can not be discounted by the mere desire to have
it otherwise. Returning prosperity is undubitably allied with
developing buying power, which in turn can come only as industry
opens up. Industry will open only as real sales are accomplished.
Therefore, the most encouraging aspect now discernible is found
in the record of retail sales refl.ected both in figures and in bank
statements. Frozen finances were largely the result of immovable
'""stocks of goods. It is, first, significant that the money situation
{yjis now much easier than formerly; and, secondly, significant that
' — retail sales figures show substantial improvement over last year.-
O This is the most significant and substantial proof that the faith
which has manifested itself since the period of improved demand
was justified. But progress must be slow. It, however, will be
evidenced in increasing volume during the balance of this year
with probable respites now and then as arresting influences
appear, but it will work steadily and consistently forward until
that point is reached where the increasing renewal of production
will re-establish a sufficient buying power to again bring back
the equilibrium between supply and demand. At present both are
near zero and they must develop concurrently. That this is com-
ing about is every day more convincingly apparent, as is the fact
that the ultimate improvement is certain.
The psychological turn is being developed and the undercurrent
of progress is steadily in the right direction.
The National Hardwood Lumber Association
THE SEEING EYE, looking upon the serious deliberations and
the funmaking sessions of the twenty-fourth annual conven-
tion of the' National Hardwood Lumber Association, which is just
now passing into history, suggests many thoughts to the ''think-
ing'' eye concerning the hardwood lumber industry. To begin with,
this is a he-man 's business. Look about you and you see carved in
the faces of these men the evidences of the courage and rough
strength demanded of those who would deal successfully with un-
softened primitive elements. One can see from these faces and the
strong shoulders of the bodies under them that the hardwood lum-
bermen as a class work hard and play hard. They have fought
flood and fire and brought giant trees crashing down from the
majestic postures that they had assumed through many generations
of strong growing. Tempests have blown upon these men, the cold
has bitten them, or they have been scorched by the ardent rays of
the southern sun.
These lumbermen have followed directly behind the man with
the coonskin cap. They have tamed and are taming wildernesses.
With fortitude and strength they tear the phalan.xed trees from
their primitive retreats and turn them to the uses of civilization.
The very nature of the business begets strength.
But this association, with its continued growth and prosperity,
is an evidence that the members of the hardwood lumber industry
possess more than mere physical strength to cope with the hardships
and problems of logging and lumber manufacturing. They have
the aspirations and intelligence of statesmen, for they have builded a
"Government" for their industry. They and their predecessors
were not content with the original chaos. They aspired to have

their business ethical and systematic. This resulted iu National
Rules for Insjiection, which the members of the association are every
year striving to bring nearer to perfection, just as statesmen con-
tinually endeavor to jierfeet their instrument of government.
This has dignified the hardwood lumber industry by giving it
standards around which its members might rally and stand for
something that they could make others respect.
This is real statesmanship, strong statesmanship, such as buildcd
America and all its characteristic institutions. This explains why
the officers of this association report year after year a substantial
growth in membership. The association is growing with the Ee-
public. Long life to it, and may it always so well reflect the strength,
the courage and the intelligence of the men who compose the hard-
wood industry!
The Improved Transportation Outlook
THK TKANSPOKTATIUN SiTl.'ATlUN presents a more hopeful
view to the lumber industry today than it has at any time
since the increases authorized under Ex Parte 74 went into effect.
There are two matters that particularly contribute to this more
hopeful aspect. The first is the 12 per cent reduction in wages
authorized for July 1, and the second is the joint conference be-
tween railway executives and lumber manufacturers and con-
sumers held in Washington on June 2. The first incident mentioned
means that the railroads' contention that they can not reduce
rates and pay expenses has been greatly weakened. The potential
saving of $400,000,000 on the annual wage budget, putting back
around where it was before the last wage increases were granted,
will certainly be a forceful argument for those who contend that
rates are too high. Then, in the second place, the arguments pre-
sented by the lumber representatives at the "Washington conference
are so conclusive that it does not seem {)Ossible the railway execu-
tives can further hold out against reductions on lumber, particu-
larly hardwoods.
It is easy to understand the hopeful attitude of J. H. Townshend,
secretary-manager of the Southern Hardwood Traffic Association,
expressed in other columns of this issue. Such testimony as the
following, which the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association
reported as having developed at the conference, seems inescapable:
It was (lovnloped at this meeting that over 80 per cent of the hardwood
mills of tile south, southwestern and .-Xppalachian regions were closed
and that owing to the tremendous increases that had liecome effective on
the inbound logs and outbound manufactured lumber, these mills would
not be able to operate until the freight rates hurt been adjusted so as to
enable them to compete with lumber and substitutes produced at the ver.v
doors of the consuming trade. A reiiresentative of the Michigan hardwood
territory stated that when the logs he had on hand were manufactured
he would close his mills, as he could not afford to cut at a continued loss.
In reply to a direct intjuiry frttni the railroad executives as to how
present prices of hardwoods compared with those of lOK*. the lumber-
men stated that current average prices were in some instances as much
as 30 per cent lower than prices prevailing in lliKi.
Such mills as are operating are taking the very cream of the logs in the
forest, resulting in a grave economic loss to the country, because over 56
per cent of the timber is not hauled to the mills for manufacture, and
will result in a total loss to the lumbermen and to the railroads as ton-
nage.
Such large consumers of hardwoods, ns representatives of the Dodge
r.rothcrs and the International Harvester Company, and other large users
of hardwood, testified that they were obllgcil to abandon the use of bard-
woods from the soutii and sultslitute steel or the lumber produced in the
immediate vicinity of their plants. It was further shown that Xo. 3
common oak was selling around $4 f.o.b. mill, was being burned as fuel
wood, but under a railroad readjustment of the rates the mills would be
able to ship this material to the consuming markets. It was shown that
in some instances hardwood lumber was paying the railroads over $75
per day per car for transportation. In other words, the total freight
rharges on a car of hardwood lumber for the nnmlier of days in trans-
I (irlatioii averaged about ."ilTo per car per day. The hardwood repre-
sentatives did not seem atlverse to a very high minimum weight, provided
ihey could arrange substantial reduction in their rates.
Part of the evidence presented by the Houthern Hardwood Traf-
fic Association was the chart prepared by May Brothers, published
in this journal, showing the terrific shrinkage in the money-making
species and grades of southern hardwoods. This should prove the
strongest argument yet presented for lower rates on the common
grades of hardwood lumber. It renders exceedingly graphic the
injustice of the present tariffs. If the value of a product is to be
considered in fixing rates, no further argument is necessary for
i-lieaper t ransjiortation.
Where Hoover Might Help
CONSIDERATION of Secretary of Commerce Hoover's plan
to gather and disseminate lumber statistics monthly, sug-
gests what a great boon it would be to the hardwood lum-
ber industry if the Secretary of Commerce should be called before
the Supreme Court to testify at the rehearing of the American
Hardwood Manufacturers' Association case. Mr. Hoover could
give the Court his broadmiuded, constructive view of the lumber
statistics question. He could, no doubt, make it clear that to deny
an industry the privilege of gathering statistics on conditions in
its field W'Ould be equivalent to plunging it into perpetual chaos.
The description of his plan might suggest to the Justices of our
supreme tribunal, should they not already be thinking to that
effect, that total prohibition of statistical work is so drastic as to
violate strict justice, and that whether or not, as the judgment of
the court may be, some of the practices under the Open Price
Plan were illegal, statistics can be gathered and used without vio-
lation of the law.
No one would be so brash as to suggest what a decision of the
V. S. Supreme Court should be, but there is no harm in expressing
the hope that the hardwood judgment will be constructive, in that
it will instruct the members of the Open Competition Plan of the
American Hardwood Manufacturers' Association how they may
proceed with their statistical endeavors according to the exact
letter of the law.

National Favors a Sales Code
Hot Debate During Closing Hours of Twenty-Fourth Annual Convention of
National Hardwood Lumber Association Results in Vote for Code;
Rules Changes are Adopted; Officers are Re-elected and
Snell and Capper Bills are Opposed
The cloifing hours of the twenty fourtli aiimial convoution of the
Isational Hardwood Lumber Assoiiatiou, which was held in Phila-
delphia, I'a., at the BellevueStratford Hotel, June 9 and 10, re-
sulted in most important action, which will probably give this meet-
ing a position of more than ordinary importance in the association's
ehroniclcs.
By a vote of 158 to 104 the nunibers went on record as favoring
the adoption of a sales code, and a motion was carried referring the
code matter to the president, autliorizing him to appoint a committee
of five to consider the entire question and report with recommenda-
tions to the next convention.
The vote on the advisability of a code concluded the biggest fight
of the convention, which was waged in vigorous debate for more
than an hour. The debate was precipitated upon the placing before
the convention of the sales code proposed by the Lumbermen's Club
of Memphis. But while the issue was at first joined over the question
of the Memphis code, the vote was finally taken on the question of
the advisability of the adoption of '"a sales code." During the
course of the delivery of numerous speeches for and against a code,
much confusion developed as to the motion, i. e., whether the Memphis
code, or " a code, ' ' was up for vote. During this period of forensic
discussion, Horace F. Taylor, of Buffalo, New York, President,
ruled with impartiality and in a most affable manner. The northern
and eastern opponents of the code were much surprised at the out-
come of the vote, while the Memphis backers were more than grati-
fied. The motion to refer the question to the president was intro-
duced by M. M. Wall, of Buffalo.
The committee which considered the Memphis code and reported
it back to the convention consisted of W. C. Hull, Hugh McLean,
W. E. Chamberlain, S. C. Meiigel and George C. Goodfellow.
Earl Palmer, of Memphis, initiated the debate with a motion that
it be declared the sense of the members present that they favor the
adoption of a sales code. In making his motion, Mr. Palmer paid
an eloquent tribute to the work which had been done by the com-
mittee of Memphis lumbermen in working up the code, and took
this occasion to urge upon the membership the necessity of en-
couraging the infi'sion of young blood into the active management of
the association's affairs. Otis A. Felger seconded Mr. Palmer's
motion and talks in support of it were made by John H. Hines, C. V.
McCreight, George C. Ehemann, Joe Thompson, J. II. Maassen and
others. J. H. Dion, J. V. Stimson, M. M. Wall, Emil Guenther and
John M. Woods spoke in opposition to the motion.
Adopt Bulk of Proposed Rules Changes
The next most important action was the adoption of the changes
in the Inspection Rules proposed by the Inspection Rules Committee
in its annual report, with the exception of tho.se dealing with
cypress. This section of the proposed changes was ruled out.
President Taylor, John W. McCIure, first vice-president and the
other ofScers were re elected lunid a most enthusiastic demonstra-
tion.
Besides these important matters the concluding session of the
convention on the afternoon of June 10 was marked by the adoption
of a resolution demanding "a general reduction in (railroad freight)
rates, not alone on lumber, but on all commodities." This resolu-
tion follows:
"Whereas the Interstate Commerce Commission's grant of higher
rates to railroads last August was based on tlio calculation that
enough additional revenue would be derived therefrom to meet the
twenty five percent increase in wages and to cover the six percent

June 2 and 3 between tradic executives of inijjortant rail carriers
and representatives of the Southern Hardwood Traffic Associations
and shippers interested in the movement of lumber, anil ]iractically
all building materials, the carriers announced on June S their
refusal to reduce freight rates, based on their statement that they
can not reduce rates so long as there is no reduction in operating
costs and insufficient increase in business to restore the proper
relation of net to gross earnings; and
"^yherea3, the facts remain unquestioned tliat the railroad ties,
car material and practically all supplies have declined to utmost
pre-war levels, and with particular respect to lumber, which is
quite so or below such pre-war levels; and
"Whereas, through influence of public sentiment, the railroads

"That the rail carriers of the country be earnestly implored to
quickly reconsider their announcement of June 8, refusing to
reduce railroad rates and that before July 1, say to the suffering
public they, too, will do their part to restore business; thus assur-
ing the railroads a continuance of that friendly feeling of the
public that is so essential to their welfare.
"Resolved, that it is the sense of this convention that tliere
should be a general reduction in rates, not alone on lumber, but on
all commodities, and that we believe when such reductions are
made there will shortly come a revival of business that will give
to the railroads the necessary financial return.
"Eesolved, that this resolution be presented to the executive
of the various transportation lines at the earliest po.ssible moment
and that they may be urged to take prompt action, and that same
also be presented to the President of the United States, Secretary
of Labor and the Interstate Commerce Commission."
Capper and Snell Bill Opposed
The Convention also went on record as favoring fair insurance
and opposed to the action of insurance companies in fighting
reciprocal insurance, praised the work of the Constitutional League
of America and indorsed legislation to protect the forests.
The last measure recommended: Adequate fire protection of
forests land classification and forest survey, reforestation, ex-
tension of public ownership, and opposed the Snell and Capper bills.
"The former upon the ground that it proposes regulation of private
imlustry and delegates legislative i)Ower in ambiguous terms; and
the latter, because of its plain violation of the Constitutional
provision against taking private property for j)ublic purposes
without compensation and because of its wlmlly impractical
economic features.''
Secretary of Labor Speaks
Oi)timism for the future and a word of warning for the present
were the keynotes of the address of James J. Davis, Secretary of
Lalior, who was the principal .speaker at the first day's session of
the convention.
The morning and afternoon sessions were full of life and vigor,
but the lumbermen were electrified when the Secretary of Labor
spoke right out from the shoulder.
So vehement did he become that he knocked the ])itcher of ice
water from the table in front of him. It fell to the floor, smashed
into a dozen pieces, and the ice water drenched the legs of some
very prominent lumbermen on the front row.
"To some of the big employers of labor," said the secretary,
"this seems to be a time to smash the labor unions, now that .jobs
are scarce and labor is weakened. They are all wrong; it is neither
possible or safe.
Crusli the unions ami .vou will Iiave secret organizations of the wihlcst
most radical Type in their place. Ucnioml)pr, new hopes have been raised
liy tile war in Europe and here. In many places in Europe these hopes
luive led to Reel Revolution. Here they are working out in the orderly
American fashion. But crush the unions and you will have Rod Revolu-
tion. It is harmony we need, not fighting.
Tliere are, however, countless employers putting good fellowship into
use, and this gives botli sides coutentnient in their work. We cannot be
a successful business nation without it. We hear little of the harmony
about us because of the noise of occasional strife among us. It is a pity
we hear so little of the fair-minded employers and of their contented men,
and we forget the kind employer and the happy workmen who go about
their work without turmoil.
Behind all this turmoil, however, the fair-minded employers and em-
plo.ves are working out harmony. There is a new principle in industry,
and this is responsibilit.v. Responsibility of both sides to the pul)lie and
to each other. In the long run. you know, we are all working for our-
selves, and harmony mokes dollars, while discord causes loss.
This is, however, no time for loafers. I'm opposed to the rich loafer
and to the poor loafer. The loafer is a thief. I am a trades union man
myself, and I say this to the trades unions : If they want to make good
in America they must clear out the loafers. Let the trade unionist say
he will not work alongside a shirker, a man who is robbing his employer
and his fellow workmen. If the unions were more shot through with that
principle antagonism to unions would soon lag. If unions penalized the
shirkers employers would cry to them to unionize their plants, for a union
card would be a guarantee of efficiency.
The delegates were welcomed to the city by Director Ernest L.
Tustin of the Department of Welfare, who was replied to by Mayor
E. V. Babcock of Pittsburgh. Mayor Babcock expressed confidence
that the next year or two would show vast improvement in the
lumber industry. He said he was not optimistic enough to predict
that the betterment would occur right away.
Gotham Leads Anti-Code Forces
Strong opposition to the proposed "sales code"' developed during
the day. A committee of New York members of the association
expressed their views against the code as follows:
1 — A sales code has no place in the inspection rules of the National
Hardwood Lumber Association. If considered at all, It should be entirely
divorced therefrom.
2 — A sales code should not in any way change, modify or interfere with
the rules of the National Ilanhvood Lumber .\ssociation.
3 — That a sales code should not attempt to enunciate common law cover-
ing contracts.
4 — That the proposed sales code is impossible of common application
and can therefore serve no good purpose.
It is upon this platform that the fight on the code was planned.
The secretary of this committee was H. B. Coho, other membfrs
being J. O. Stewart, C. A. Moore, Jacob Bayer, Stephen L. Taylor
and C. F. Fischer.
The following are the changes in National Inspection Rules,
which were recommended by the Inspection Rules Committee headed
by John W. McClure, and which were adopted, as stated above:

FOB CLAKIKTIXG PRESENT BILES
Paragraph 1 :
Measurement of the Grade of Shorts in Mahogany.
(See page 53 of present rules.)
The following change in the method of measuring and tallying the grade
of Shorts in Mahogany is recommended by a number of mahogany produc-
Juui> 1(1. 11121

ersi. It has bot'D adopted by the Timber Trades Federation of Kaj^land and
by the National Lumber ICxporters Association of the United States. This
change in method of measurement does not affect the liual result nor the
Krade. It is proposefl as a convenience in order to niaiie it possible to use
the ordinary board rule. The change, it adopted, will malte the present rule
for shorts read as follows ;
SHOUTS must lie 4" and over wide.
Standard lengths are 2,''2\:,, 3, :i\k, 4, 4Vj. 5 and o'/s feet. Fractional
lengttis other than standard must be measured as of the next lower
standard length. Shorts must be measured and tallied as if four times tlie
actual standard length and the resulting tally divided by four.
Pieces 4" and 5" wide must be clear.
Pieces G" and over wide will admit standard defects according to the
above basis of surface measure (four times the actual surface measure)
as follows :
S feet, 1 standard defect or its equivalent.
IG feet. 2 standard defects or their equivalent.
22 feet, o standard defects or their equivalent.
20 feet, 4 standard defects or their equivalent.
Paragraph 2 ;
No. 2 Wagon Stocl<.
(See page li)7 present rules.)
The addition of the following sentence under the caption of .No. 2 Wagon
Stocit has Ijeen suggested by the National Implement and Vehicle Associa-
tion to remove a cause of misunderstanding witliout changing the present
interpretation of the rules :
Heart and shake will not be admitted.
Paragraph a :
Wagon Bos Hoards.
(See page 102 present rules.)
A request coming from the National Implement and Vehicle Association
has been approved by our committee regarding the grade of Box Boards.
It is recommended that the words "and checlied" he inserted after the word
"warped" in the last paragraph, page 102. Tills would not cliange the
present interpretation and if adopted would malse the paragraph mentioned
read as follows :
Woolly Cottonwood and lumber so warped and checised that it cannot be
used for box boards must be excluded from this grade.
Paragraph 4 :
Quartered Woods.
The insertion of the following definition of the terra "Quartered" when
used in connection with woods which now have no rules for quartered is
recommended :
In woods where figure is not required, luml>er sliall be considered as quar-
tered when the radial grain is at an angle of forty-five degrees or less with
80 per cent of one face of the piece.
Paragraph 5 :
Measurement of Strips.
(See pages 93 and 96 present rules.)
Our present rules contain no instructions for the measurement of strips
under special inspection. The adoption of the following rule is recom-
mended as being in conformity with the interpretation now being used ;
Strips may l)e %" scant of standard widths wlien shipping dry. In the
grades of clear and clear sap strips, tapering pieces must be measured at
the narrow end. In the grades of common strips, tapering pieces must be
measured one-third the iengtb of the piece from the narrow end.
Paragraph 6 :
Definition of Sound Cutting.
(See page 13 present rules.)
The insertion of the word "heart" after the word "rot" is recommended
for the purpose of removing a cause of frequent misunderstanding and is
in accordance with the present interpretation. This insertion would malie
the paragrapli read as follows ;
The term SOUND CUTTING as used in these rules means a cutting free
from rot, heart, shake and other defects wliich materially impair the
strength of the piece.
Paragraph 7 :
Standard Grades.
Tlie insertion of the following paragrapli under General Instructions is
recommended for the purpose of avoiding misunderstanding and promoting
the use as far as possible of the exact grade-names as they appear in these
rules :
All lumber shall lie inspected according to these rules as defined under
General Instructions and Standard Inspection unless otherwise specified.
The rules defined under Special Inspi'ction shall l>e applied only when
spe'tilied in the contract between liuyer and seller. The rules under Stan-
dard Inspection and Special Inspection shall not be apjilied under any
contract which specifies grade names different from those listed herein,
except by special agreement between buyer and seller.
PART II
CHANGES IN THE PKISSBNT HULKS
Paragraph 8 :
Miscut Lumber.
(See page 10 present rules.)
Owing to the difficulties involved in manufacturing 4" and thicker lum-
ber, especially in some woods, it is recommended that the rule defining
niiscut lumber l>e amended so as to [)ernilt a variation of Vj" in thickness
in stock cut 4" and thicker. If ailofited, this paragraph would read as
follows ;
Lumber showing greater variation In thickness between any two points
than the following table must be measured at the thinnest part and classed
as miscut, and must be graded and reported as such :
■h" In thicknesses of Mi" or less.
%" in thicknesses of %" and %".
Vi" in Ihickncsses of 1" to 2".
%" in thicknesses of 2%" to 3V4".
V-" In thicknesses of 4" and thicker.
Paragraph 9 :
No. 2 Axles.
(See page 107 of present rules.)
On suggestion of the National Implement and Vehicle Associallon. that
unsounrl knots now admitted by our rules in No. 2 Axles, In connection
with other defects admitted, make too poor an axle for practical utilization,
it i^ recommended that these unsound knots be eliminated from the present
rule. If adopted, this would make the rule read as follows :
No. 2 .Vxles will admit %" sound knots, 1%" sound knots not less than
12" apart, or their equivalent in smaller defects; season cheeks 1" deep
and 24" long, end splits not exceeding 8" in length, grain crossing in not
less than half the length of the piece, 1" of wane, two grub holes showing
on one or two sides, or other defects equivalent to the above.
Hewn axles shall be measured to square to the size they are ordered.
Defects at ends of axles that will admit working five feet six Inches to
be accepted.
Paragraph 11:
No. 1 Common Mahogany.
(See commencing page 51 present rules)
There are certain diO'erences bctw-een the present grade of No. 1 Com-
mon Mahogany and the same grade of Oak and other cabinet woods.
Several large Mahogany concerns feel that this condition should be cor-
rected, not only because this grade of Mahogany is cut up for practically
the same purposes as Oak, but also to make the rules more uniform and
easier of application. It is, therefore, recommended that the present rules
for No. 1 Common Mahogany be amended to conform to the eighth, ninth
and tenth paragraphs under the caption of No. 1 Common Plain Oak on
pagfe 59. The rule as amended would read as follows :
No. 1 Common must be 4" and over wide, G' and over long.
Pieces 4" wide, 0' and 7' long, must be clear ; 8 to 11' long, must work
R6 2/3% clear face in not over two pieces; 12 to 16' long must work
06 2/3% clear face in not over three pieces. No piece of cutting shall be
less than 2' long by the full width of the piece.
Pieces G' long, 5" to 8" wide, may have one standard defect : 9" and
over wide may have two standard defects.
Pieces 5" to 7" wide, 7' to 11' long, must work 66 2/3% clear face
in not over two cuttings: 12' to 16' long must work 66 2/3% clear face
in not over three cuttings.
Pieces 8" and over wide, 7' to 9' long, must work 66 2/3% clear face
in not over two cuttings; 10' to 13' must work on 66 2/3% clear face In
not over three cuttings; 14' to 16' must work 66 2/3% clear face in not
over four cuttings.
Each additional 4' In length over 16' long will admit one additional
cutting in all widths described above.
No cutting shall be less than 4" wide and 2' long or 3" wide and 3' long.
PART III.
Additions to the Present Rules.
Paragraph 12 ;
Standard Turning Stock.
Special Inspection.
The Association of Wood Using Industries lias requested that we adopt
rules for turning siiuares. They state that the requirements of the wood-
turning industry, as shown T)y their surveys, arc normally 1,800, (WO. 000
feet per annum and that practically all of this is classed as hardwoods.
The rules which they propose are substantially the same as the following
recommendations :
Standard Turning Squares.
Standard sizes are %" to 2Vi" in multiples of ',s" ; and 2%" to
5" in multiples of Vi ".
Standard lengths are 18" to 24" in multiples of 1", and 24" and over
in multiples of 2", but there must not be more than 20% of 24" and
shorter.
Standard grades are No. 1 and No. 2, which are combined as one grade
unless otherwise specified. The combined grade must not contain more
than 30% of No. 2.
Standard turning squares must be sawn full size and length when
shipping dry. Over size variation of not more than %" shall be allowed.
Squares having an oversize variation of more than %" shall be classed
as miscut.
Wane or other defects that will be removed In turning the square to
Its working size shall not be considered as defects. End checks not ex-
ceeding Vi" in length will not be considered as defects. Sap is no defect
unless oth(>rwise specified. No heart will be admitted.
Otherwise No. 1 Standard Turning Squares must be clear. No. 2 Standard
Turning Squares will admit one sound %" knot or its equivalent for each
18" of the length of the piece.

Taylor Warns Against New Endeavors
Tlic annual aildrcss of Horai-c F. Taylor, president of the National
Hardwood Lumber Association, which was delivered immediately
after the opening of the first session on the morning of June 9,
contained a warning to the members to view with canny eye any
suggestion that tlic association depart from the primary purpose of
its creation and existence (universal inspection rules for hardwood
lumber) and enter upon new and untried fields of endeavor. "The
invitation is frequent to deviate from our prescribed path," he
said, "and the temptation constant and alluring to explore new
fields of effort, and I deem it a matter of vital concern that we
consider such ventures in the light of the proven course which for
us has been one of marked success."
Mr. Taylor said the entire success and growth of the association
was primarily due to its concentrated devotion to the business of
inspecting hardwood lumber according to its universal inspection
rules. He declared that he did not "hesitate to assert that the
universal hardwood insjioctiou ]ilan of this association is the most
constructive and within legal limits the most profitable contribution
ever made to the orderly conduct of the lumber business."
The full te.\t of President Taylor's address follows:
It is a very jrroat pleasure to welcome this splendid fratherinfr of mem-
bers and friends of the N.itional Hardwood Lnnibor .Association to tlie
Twenty-fourth .\nnua] Mootinfr of our orKuniz.Ttion, Nfit only to you whom
wc rccopnize as veterans In tlic Wfirl^ of our .Vssociation do I offer hearty
greetings, but on lielialf of jin order in whicli good-fellowship holds sway.
I extend the right liand of friendship to our new brothers who have come
into the Associntion in such gratifying numl>ers during the past year.
These annual meetings are l\v no means held in mere formal compliance
witli our l>y-liiws, and I am very happy at the outset to forecast that this
gathering like its predecessors will talte its place as a typical expression
(if our Association life, affording not only the opportunity for an intimate
eschjinge <if business counsels for the good of the (irder, but what is quite
as important, serving most pleasantly to promote that traditional acquaint-
anceship among our members which has become an influential factor in
our progress and success.
It is for definite purposes, therefore, that we have met again this year.
We are to review the-worli of the past twelve months, take stock of our
present resources as an association and seek in the light of experience the
means by which our future usefulness may be enlarged. But al)ove all and
surrounding the definite features of onr program structure we may con-
tidently expect to en.io>', as on former occasions, an atmosphere tempered by
the sunshine of good fellowship. Pup in large part, no doubt, to the influ-
ences of the war. we find ourselves today in a world suffused with the
poison of suspicion and doubt, finding its expression in the attitude ot
nations. In the attitude of all classes of society and as well in the attitude
of the individual mind. We shall hardly witness progress toward better
things until this unfortunate state of affairs gives place to a renewed
conlidence on tlte part of man towards his fellows ; and surely no agency
can be more effectual to this end than occasions for constructive intercourse
such as that in wliich we are now engaging.
Passing of the "Soft Times"
It is a difticult matter to allude to the history of the past twelve months
wittiout remarking briefly at least upon the phenomenal change that has
taken place in our industry since last we met. In .Tune ot 1920 we had
reached a mountain peak of business activity unattained in any previous
experience, and were faced with a demand for hardwood lumlier in volume
so unparalleled as quite to outdistance the facilities for its production,
with resulting luml>er values which no one of us could have anticipated.
Our suUseciucnt .ind recent course has been a descent so rapid and precipi-
tous as to result in pliysieal collapse liad it not been for the robust business
constitution witli which most of us are blessed. We all know, however,
that the depths of the valley are marked by limits as certain as those of
the mountain heights, and we shall do well to "carry on" with resolution,
confident that this relaxation may itself give us pause in which to prepare
ourselves for a new and early experience upon levels more conducive to a
sustained business comfort and health. Under our recent experience we
shall do well to reconcile ourselves with the view of a philosopher who has
said that what we have Just seen is "not a case of hard times coming in —
but a case of soft times going out."
To recount the history of our work during the past year Is indeed a
pleasant task requiring few words, and one in which you will share my
enthusiasm, for surely there is every reason why you should join with me
in a keen Interest in the character and achievements of our great Associa-
tion. Thanks to the sound principle ui'on which It Is estal>!ished and the
tried »Md orderly processes of its work, it has functionc<i well and served
with a satisfaction so complete as to be all liut universal. The tremen-
dous change in the circumstances of our industry during the past year has
offered a test which could have been successfully met by no organization
of iincertain strength and character, and we have met that test unscathed
and with flags flying.
Association's Growth
Growth in membership is, of course, by no means the only Index of
progress, but as you will be told in definite figures, the past twelve months
has shown an accessifm not only large numerically but of equal ^■;^lue as
regards lite character and standing of those who have joined our ranks,
and we niay certainl.v take clear satisfaction in the knowledge that we
stand today the largest lumber organization in the Ignited States, if not
in the world. When we take into account the conditions of the past few
months, so clearly unfavorable to interesting business men in new affilia-
tions. I think we may again regard the increase as an index of the universal
regard In which this organization is held by the hardwood lumber fraternity.
My temptation is great to emplo.v actual figures by way of illustration,
but I do not purpose to encroach upon what is clearly the itrovince of our
efficient secretary, by referring in more specific terms to the growth as
well as to the current accomplishments of the Association. You will all
understand h(*w under the pleasing circumstances of a sustained success
in our work the task of your president has not only been a simple one but
has consisted in the main of looking on with you while "the wheels go
"round." and there can. therefore, be no immodesty in my taking occasion
to point with pride to the movement of this nicely adjusted machinery, the
credit for wliose successful operation rests first with you, our loyal mem-
Iwrs more than 1.400 in number, and upon the masterly work of our secre-
tary-treasurer, and in no measure upon the person wlio has chanced during
the past year to enjoy the title of president.
Thanks to the excellent suggestion made last year by President Goodman,
our Executive Committee has eniar.ged to seven meml>ers. Five of the
seven are representative sawmill operators ; the other two are qualified by
experience to take a sympathetic view of the problems of the manufacturer.
Our Inspection Rules Committee with seventeen members includes at least
eleven or twelve manufacturers, or a clear majority of two-thirds. The
Board of Managers, out of a membership of twent.v-eight, includes fifteen
out-and-out lumber manufacturers, many of the remaining members being
also indirectly interested in the producing side of the business.
Producers Predominate
I make a point of this preponderance of representative hardwood pro-
ducers among our councils for the purpose of indicating how ill-founded is
the occasional and ofttimes plainly malicious charge that our organization
is controlled in the interests of other classes of fuir membership. It is a
fact beyond successful controversy that the National Hardwood Lumber
Association is operated in the mutual interest of all its members and that
in no sense or measure whatever does it discriminate in favor of one class
as against another. Any fair analysis of our Association activities will
readily confirm the truth of this statement ; its accuracy need not rest upon
an individual assertion.
No organization or individual who persistently stands for something
worth while can hope to avoid occasional criticism : such criticism, on the
other hand, becomes an inevitable and complimentary tribute to character.
With a inemliership in excess of 1.400 drawn not only from all the hard-
wood pr(Kiueing states, but from well l>eyond those limits, employing a
numerous staff of active representatives in regions not only separated
geographically but representing a wide divergence of business relationship
and called upon to correctly grade and measure annually between two hun-
dred and two hundred and fifty million feet of twenty-five or more varieties
of woods, it is no less than natural that errors of judgment will sometimes
creep into our distinctly human machine. Obviously, the person who fool-
ishly elects to rate our association's success upon the exceptional error
instead of tipon its ruling success, declares his own limitations and not
those of this association. In all claims of error ftiunded upon fact, your
officers are prompt in meeting the responsibility of the Association by the
prompt effort to treat the difficulty fairly and upon Its merits.
I will not make the unkind charge that there are some lumbermen wbose
Idea of an association is that of a convenient device which will enable them
to accomplish an improper or selfish purpose : odd as it may seem, however,
wc are sometimes forced to believe there are still individuals whose dis-
appointment at the refusal of our Association to lean their way, would
seem to qualify them for the rolls of this unfortunate but limited class.
Inspection Nearly Perfect
The ruling accuracy of our inspection work is a matter which to me
seems to have had too little emphasis. In this connection there was
recent occasion to analyze results of the measurement and inspection in
normal course of 175,000,000 feet. Of this total an average of only one
ear out of SO formed the basis of a claim justified or unjustified; the en-
suing reinspection showed that one car only out of 226 cars on the average
substantiated a claim of sufficient amount to involve recourse to the guar-
anty of the .Association. In other words, of this total — 175.000,000 feet —

HARDWOOD RECORD

oriKinal claims pofid or l)a<3 amount pd to 1 'i r''f <'<'Dt only, and claims
subsequently shown lo be gootl amounted to less than one-half of 1 per
cent. This is not only a remarkable showlnK but furnishes a record which
may be safely offered for comparison with the inspection work of any
individual firm, however accurate may be its business practice. Any
friendly question as to whether i>ur Association is a successful establish-
ment can promptly be answere<l in the affirmative by a disclosure of such
an inspection record and of our consistent fcrowth in membership. Arjiu-
ment in addition to these facts would hardly seem necessarj'.
Certain well reco^ized principles upon which individual success is
predicated find to a very interesting desrce similar application to the
work of a well ordered association. The individual who assumes the world
hostile to himself, and who in order to fisht the windmills his imapiination
has thus constructed, conducts his business in selfish disregard of the
rights of others, may be permitted for a brief time to delude himself with
an apparent success. In the same manner an association of business men
designed perhaps through want of vision to secure advantage for its own
members as against the world, may under favorable conditions enjoy a
fleeting vogue. A business life <if real service and commensurate profit
must, however. V>e based on broader lines both for the individual or the or-
ganized group. The individual instead of attempting to profit at the expense
or Those from whom he buys or th(»se to whom he sells, must recognize the
Interests of iKith ; an organization of business men. whether in our industry
or any other, should properly rest on the sound principle of a generous
consideration of the interests of all parties who fall within its sphere of
influence, whether within or without its membership. Just as surely as
one section, conceiving itself to be a preferred class, organizes and legis-
lates for the purpose of monopolizing control of that industry, we may
conclude that it is "riding for a fall."
Selfishness Is Short Sightedness
The conclusion is to me unavoidable, that it is shortsighted policy for
retailers, for instance, to assume to dictate as a group the terms and con-
ditions upon which manufacturers and wholesalers shall conduct business
with them : and for manufacturers or wholesalers in turn to arrogate to
themselves the privilege of formulating restrictive regulations for other
branches whose good-will they must seek to cultivate and who will stoutly
resent any refusal to take their interests into fair account. It seems
almost axiomatic indeed that the individual and likewise the association
must so function, as factors in the industrial scheme, as to facilitate and
not to hinder the progress of the whole industry ; but peculiarly enough
there is occasional evidence that some individuals and some associations
still hold to purposes that would seem to ignore this social and economic
principle. If perchance instances may be found of associations which have
met with failure or indifferent success, may it not be worth while to
inquire whether they have not been established upon a mistaken principle
of service? And if so, should not our association try to avoid similar
pitfalls ■'.
It seems to me that as memlK-rs of the National Hardwood Luml>er As-
sociation, upon the evidence at hand and without false pride, we may
eatertain a sound enthusiasm in the fact that our Association in its con-
cept of true and sustained usefulness is successful in the attempt not only
to serve all its members impartially, but to take into fundamental account
the interests of those as well who furnish the consuming market for the
lumber we make and sell. Having constructed well upon this theory, but
with minds wide open for the adoption of suggestions which have the
merit of being constructive as well as new, should we not guard against
legislation which may impair our standing, particularly it it threatens to
favor the interests of one class of membership against the others ; or if it
goes farther and contemplates disregard of the interests of the far-flung
and varied clientele with whom in the last analysis it is absolutely essen-
tial that we co-operate? Indeed the universal public sentiment regarding
actual and threatened monopolies finds no clearer expression than the
various attempts of the past few years to dispose of what are commonly
called the "trusts."
The Primary Objects
A reference to Article 111 of your Constitution and By-Laws indicates
that the primary object of this Association is "to establish, maintain and
apply a uniform system tor the inspection and measurement of hardwood
lumber," and while it is true that this purpose is enlarged in the same
article "to promote the welfare and to promote the interests of the hard-
wood trade," a study of that instrument indicates no purpose of its authors
to establish a general trade organization providing tor such general asso-
ciation purposes as universal arbitration, organized traffic or credit bureaus,
statistical and price stabilizing ventures, fixed terms of sale, uniformity
of contract or any of those activities commonly and properly attempted by
many organizations. I do not intend, of course, to construe our purposes
as limited to the inspection of hardwood lumber it it should be the wish
of our membership to change the original purposes of the organization.
It is my earnest recommendation, however, that in contemplating a field
we have not heretofore occupied, we should subject every proposition in-
volving a material deviation from present and approved practices to tests
1 have endeavored in a faulty way to define.
The primary purpcise of our association, the establishment and applica-
tion of a uniform inspection seystem. involves further considerations which
in themselves may preclude the safe consideration of other purposes — that
is to say, regulations providing for a universal lumber inspection system,
must be so broadly drawn as to meet In certain terms the widest range of
local circumstances. Our regulations must he drawn to pass current
■ everywhere if our grading rules are to be applicable everywhere, and the
producer or dealer be enabled to handle bis hardwood lumber upon speci-
fications so precise and yet of such universal apidlcatlon as to be accept-
able equally to the consumer who makes spools in Vermont or Interior finish
in California or to the millman who makes ties In Florida or ship timbers
in Texas. In other words, hardwood Inspection means a single universal
language. In complete distinction, however, the determination of equitable
terms of sale and similar matters may he governed largely by local policy
or interest. The requirements of the sawmill man may demand cash set-
tlements, and his demand may be entirely justified; a wholesaler, on the
other hand, may find it excellent business to assist In financing his cus-
tomer by granting the most liberal terms conceivable : he may In fact be
influenced by a high conception of salesmanship In so doing.
Should View Departures Carefully
The average local or regional association may thus no doubt do many
things inappropriate to a national organization having a peculiar purpose
such as ours. Please let me emphasize, however, that I am offering this not
as a dictum but as a line of suggestion which seems to me to merit your
earnest consideration. I anticipate the question in some of your
minds as to the occasion of my present emphasis of what seem to me the
principles upon which our progress is based. To those of you, however,
who have had occasion to follow intimately the activities of the associa-
tion, it is unnecessary to remark that the invitation is frequent to deviate
from our prescribed path, and the temptation constant and alluring to
explore new fields of effort, and 1 deem it a matter of vital concern that
we consider such ventures in the light of the proven course which tor us
has been one of marked success.
This Association enjoys the unique distinction of having made an un-
paralleled contribution for the benefit of every man who makes lumber and
every man who uses it, and President Goodmans remark last year was a
wise one, that the "continued growth of this Association Is largely due to
the tact that we have made no attempt to enter any other field of effort,
but have applied ourselves entirely to the endeavor to secure the best
practical rules of inspection and to maintain an Inspection Department
qualified to apply these rules honestly and intelligently."
You gentlemen no doubt know from experience that many activities
commonly undertaken by lumber associations are by their nature subject
to the frequent local or sectional or individual criticism of those immedi-
ately affected. During the last few months many group practices have
either properly or improperly been brought even under the ban of the law
of the land. With full realization of what this statement means, I do not
hesitate to assert that the universal hardwood inspection plan of this
association is the most constructive and within legal limits the most
profitable contribution ever made to the orderly conduct of the lumber
business. To the authors of this plan, and to the organization which for
twenty-four years has successfully made it effective, generous credit may be
given without immodesty.
Buckley Is Honored
One recent act of your Board of Managers will, I am sure, enlist your
enthusiastic endorsement. Jit our mid-winter meeting, Edward Kuikley
of Manistee, Mich., broached the question of withdrawing from the board
because of his partial relinquishment of active business. Your managers
were insistent ui)on retaining our veteran director upon the oflicial roll
under a suitable title, and without a dissenting voice constituted him a life
member of the Board of Managers, To our many members who know Mr.
Buckley this will come as a fitting tribute to his consistent loyalty to the
principles of this Association. Mr. Buckley has always been esteemed for
his warm and constant support of this association, has uniformly observed
a spirit of comity toward his fellow-members, and has never falle<l in
generous observance of the principle that those with whom he dealt were
also entitled to a profit. You will all join the members of the board In
wishing Mr. Buckley many more years of health and participation In our
meetings.
As touching the future work of our Association, various matters will be
presented to you during this meeting through committee reports and by
eminent speakers who have honored us by accepting a place on the program.
I commend most heartily to your consideration the carefully considered
report of your Inspection Rules Committee. We shall also be keenly in-
terested as citizens and not only as lumbermen In an able presentation ot
the question of "Forestry Legislation." Whether we invite it or not, there
is a popular demand that lumbermen record themselves in connection with
the National Forestry Policy, and you may deem it wise to express your-
selves upon this matter. Further than this, the conservation of the raw
material ot our forests indicates to many the need of a closer cooperation
between the maker and the final user of wood products. You will be privi-
leged, therefore, to hear an able discussion bearing upon the relation of
the producer to the consumer of hardwoods.
Among other matters for your consideration, there will be presented
either by your Hoard of Managers or directly by those most interested, a
carefully considered proposal that our association adopt a "Sales Code."
Opportunity has already been given to our members to study the form

HARDWOOD RECORD
June 10. 1921
Fish Chronicles a Year of Success
Amitlier year of success was veviewe<l by Frank F. Fish, secre-
tary-treasurer of the National Hardwooil Lumber Association, in
his report to the twenty-fourth annual convention, delivered
directly after President Taylor's address on the morning of June 9.
Secretary Fish recorded a net membership growth during the year of
27.), giving a total membership of 1,443.
Mr. Fish opened his report with a review of conditions during the
jiast year as contrasted with the year preceding, declaring in con-
clusion of this part of his paper "that the worst is over and that
we are even now entering upon a period of expanding demand,
wliicli will likel.y approximate a normal condition before the sum-
nin- i.< ciidt'*!. ' '
The text of the report follows:
Mr. President and Gentlemen: In subniiUiiis my sixteenth rcpni't nt
this, the twont.v fourtli annual niectinc of this association, it may not
lii» inapproprlatn to institntc a iiriof comparison l)Ptwcon conditions oxist-
Inj; in tlio Inmlior trade today and tliose prevailing at the time of our
former mrotinjr. (me year ago. I do not do this with the hope of enliKlit
cniUK this membership in any manner concerning its own business, but
with the belief tliat an otfieial record upon the subject may possess more
or less value.
When we mot in Chicaso one year ago the demand for hardwood lumber
was at high tide, and, owins to competitive l>idding on the [lart of bu.vers.
and to no otlier reason whatever, prices had soared to beia:bts beyond the
fondest dreams of any lumberman. Consuming patrons, in order to make
sure of tbeir supplies of bardwood, bad adopted the vicious practice of
ordering twice or thrice as much stock as it was possible for them to con-
sume, which practice resulted most disastrously to the lumber tra<le by
reason of the wholesale cancellation of orders whicli followed upon tbe
slacking up of general business. While, for the time being, the situation
l)ossessed tbe appearance of being a liarvest time for tlie hardwood inter-
ests, it is very doubtful if mucli good grain was garnered. For the past
six months we have been looking at tlie reverse side of the picture. With
scarcely any warning the demand for lumber ceased to exist. It was not
even a buyer's market, because there were no buyers. Prices W'ere rushed
to tile bottom by panic stricken or needy holders of stock without tbe
i"e<'ompensing feature of obtaining a sutficient amount of Itusiness to justify
sucb sacrifices. Tlie lowei- prices wvut tbe b^ss interest they inspired on
tile part of possible buyers — and today we are at low tide. But fortunately
tbe beacb is not strewn with tlie wreckage of lumber interests. Tlie lum-
bermen have met the situation with courage and determination and have
lirmly resolved to "carry on." It is my belief, concurred in by those who
are in a position to know, tliat the worst is over and that we are even now
entering uiion a period of expanding demand, which will likel.v approxi-
mate a normal condition before the summer is ended. This belief has for
its foundation tlie final, tbough tardy, acquiescence of Germany in the
reparation demands; the gradual, but iiersistent, improvement in the con-
<lition of foreign exchange : tlie change in the attitude of the Government
at Washington toward the business interests of the country, evidenced by
tbe slogan, "Less government in business and more business in Govern-
ment." and the liquidation of war prices on essential commodities, the first
of which to go being lumber.
Lumber Has Liquidated
I desire that the word go out to the country from this great convention,
that — whether cheerfully or not on the part of the lumbermen — the prices
on lumber have been fully and completely liquidated. So much cannot he
said of other factors in the situation. Unfortunately, there are elements
which enter into the cost of construction of houses and their furnishings,
wbicli is tbe crying need of the hour, that as yet have not reduced their
prices and wbicii still serve to chunlt the wheels of trade and commerce,
which, without such obstacles, would promptly begin to revolve toward
general prosperity. Among these obstructive factors the most prominent
are transportation and labor, which still tenaciously cling to the prices
only made possible'liy conditions of war, and wliich must yield to a univer-
sal process of liquidation to a i)eace basis befm-e tliat prosperity conies to
which we are justly entitled.
While the past year — taken as a whole — has not been a period of even
average prosperity to the individuals constituting this membership, the
progress of the National Hardwood Lumber Association has not been
retarded in any manner whatsoever by tlie untoward conditions prevailing
in the lumber trade, but instead, these unfavorable conditions general to
tlu* trade have resulted in an ever-increasing demand for the good offices
of tlie association from lumbermen who herCTofore had not appreciated the
advantages resulting from a connection wiffi this organization : and, upon
trial, they have not been disappointed in uie will and the ability of the
National Hardwood Luniljer Association to^Serve the interests of its mem-
bers. It is in just sucli a period of depression as this through which we
are now passing that the lumbermen require an effective agency for the
protection of tbeir interests and tliis assoc£.tion has not Ijeen found want-
ing when the adequacy of the protection it affords has been put to the test.
From time to time attempts are made to stir up factional strife within our
ranks by those wiio are still on tlie outside looking in. and the charge is
continuously and tiresoniely reiterated that this is au organization domi-
nated by tlie wholesaler and operated solely in the interest of that branch
of the trade. While this charge has been frequently and deflnittdy branded
as an unmitigated falsehood, the lie still persists and finds favor with those
ndio are unable to bring any other charge against the National Hardwood
Luml>er Association.
Preeminence From Merit
It is quite true that there are wholesalers as well as manufacturers in
our membership. The organization was originally formed in the belief that
tiiere was common ground upon which all lumbermen could stand and com-
mon interests which might be served by a proper spirit of genuine confidence
and co-operation. The success that has followed upon the expression of
this belief through the National Hardwood Lumber .\ssociation is sufficient
justification that the theory upon which the organization was founded was
(Conlinui-d frnm iittije 21)
picqiosed. Most earnest and conscientious study has been given this matter
during a period of several weeks, and the project bears the strong support
of one of our most imiiorlaut liardwood markets, and is. therefore, entitled
to the close interest and fair consideration of this membership.
Pleads Fair Play for All
For all these matters I bespeak the most fair-minded and democratic
consideration and treatment, with full confidence that a hearing of tliat
sorl will result in a wise decision reiiresenling the judgment of tbe entire
industry: and such consideration on the part of tliis convention must
result in the entire satisfaction Ixith of those who favor and those who may
oppose tbe jilan, whatever decision you may reach.
It is my <lesire to accord the liigliest commendation to all agencies of
our organlzati(m contributing to tlie recognized success of its work. Such
reco.gnition is a custom of the president's address, but I am especially
anxious to make it clear that I am not governed alone by custom. In all
our activities, the measure of devotion to your interests involved is much
gri'ater tlian can come to tlie immediate knowledge of a large part of our
niembersliip. 1 know I speak the sentiment of every member in expressing
our high regard for the work of tbe Inspection Rules Committee, of which
.lobn W. McClure has again been .good enough to serve as chairman.
'I'liis commitlee writes the "Bible" of our Association, and I am sure its
work will hi' ai-corded the esteem to which it is entitled by its hi.gh merit.
Mr. McClure lias given his customary time and interest as closely as ever
to this work. I am in doubt whether he should be rewarded with the title
of Moses, the law giver, or of Job, the man of infinite patience under
trilnilation.
To the members of the Board of Managers and the Executive Committee.
whose consistent loyalty and active interest could not be surpassed, I
desire to express our obligation. In remarking our appreciation of the
cliaracteristic and able work of our secretary-treasurer. Frank F. Fish,
I voice the genuine feeling of every member who uses our facilities and
who knows Frank Fish, and this leaves nobody out. His recognized force
and ability form tiie key of our association work, and I am glad indeed that
tile program provides as usual for his report, for he is above all best fitted
to indicate to you the real accomplishments and the standing of our
organization.
If I seem over-enthusiastic in my esteem of the order. I believe you will
understand and appreciate the convictions that occasion that feeling.
Witli so large and loyal a membership, our influence in the hardwood field
is all-pervasive : and our membership and inspection record alone do not
tell the whole stor.v, for indeed the hardwood man is hard to find anywhere
who does not .govern his shipments by our rules even though he may never
have come into the fold.
To serve such an organization as president has l>een a privilege which
comes to few men, and which I have cherished accordingly. Your gracious
fori>earance and your unbroken loyalty and support to the association have
made the past year for me a very happy experience.

HARDWOOD RECORD

criiini'iitl.v <(iiTcct and tliiin.us;lil.v mhiikI. This association today is un(|ucs-
ticiiii'd iiicniior of all liimlicr (jrwinizations in tliis. or in any ntlipi- country,
and tliis is because it lias sihikIu to serve no seltisli faction witiiin its own
rani<s, Iniausc it stands for siinare dealint; and liccausc It lias always liari
tlic courage to do the ri^'ht thinjr. In a larjie measure it has been an
association of one idea and that, the proper inspection of hiniber. It has
never wanderiHl off after strange yods to lieconie ensiulfed in tlii' niiirasses
of sickenin;; failure and heart-l)reakinK despair. Like the slioenuiker. it
has stuck to its last and the work it has undertaken lias Iieen crowned wltli
that success which attends only upon persistent and practlcalde effort.
neiV.re any switcli is made from this single-track line, which has brought
this association to the (lesirnlile City of Success, careful thoutiht should
lie l)estowiMl upon the possible di'stinalion to which a ilouble-track system
may lead.
And now that 1 have cleared my niiml of some of these questions of
general interest, I shall confine myself to a more or less detailed state-
ment of the activities of the Association dnrins the past year.
Since the \i>2i) convention liild in Chica^'o ou June 17 and IS, 284 appli-
cations for nieiiibership have been received, of which '.) have iH'en re,iected
as undesirable or ineligible. The record of failures and w-ithdrawals from
business number .")3 : 23 have been droppeii as delinqnent in the payment
of miMiilpership dues ; 3 have resigned and 3 have been removed from the
inembcrship rolls as undesirable. The total number of new applications
favorably passed upon by the Board of Managers and admitted to mem-
bership during the year is 2''i. which brings the present number of members
in good standing to ],-443. A careful check of these new members shows
a majority from the manufacturing sections of the South, and it Is the
belief of your Secretary, who keeps in touch with the progress of trade
associations in all lines of trade, that no other trade organization has been
able to present greater net gain during tlie past year. It has been sug-
gested that we place a limit on our membership, of 1,500, and this sugges-
tion is favored and supported by many directors and members. Under this
plan, applications received after we reach a total of 1.500 would be placetl
on a waiting list and only admitted as vacancies might occur. I should
be pleased to have the convention coD.sIder this suggestion.
During the year the regular numlier of meetings of the Executive Com-
mittee and Hoard of Managers have been held, and the record of attendance
at all meetings is up to the highest standard.
(In .Tune Is. following the last annual meeting, the Roard of Managers
<lisciissed the plan of engaging an additional assistant at the Executive
oBice, but no definite decision was reached until the Executive Committee

recognized more fully than ever under trade conditions we have been called
upon to meet during recent months, and it is gratifying to record an unusual
number of letters commending this branch of the Association service: and
as a result of closer acquaintance and better undertanding with the trade
associations of furniture and other woodworking lines, we are assured of
the almost unanimous future <'o-*ip<Tation of buyers of hardwoods.

Problems in Standardization of Dimension
Stock for the Wood Using Industries
Third Paper
By William A. Babbitt
111 our Hccoiul Discussion of the Problems of the Standardization
Program, the writer pointed out at some length and detail the
necessity that lumbermen should understand and give due con-
sideration to the wooduser's point of view. There is plainly an
equal necessity that the wooduscr should understand and appreciate
the lumberman's point of view.
It would seem fair to make a general statement that there is no
consideration which will warrant any lumberman in undertaking
to niaiiufacture Standardized Dimension Stock, or anything at all,
except a sound and reasonable probability that this line of produc-
tion will pay a fair profit. No matter how strongly the lumberman
ma.v be moved by a patriotic desire to co-operate in reducing and
finally eliminating the great wastes now obtaining neither patriot-
ism nor any other consideration of the kind should obscure the
basic fact that no unsound, uneconomic business can possibly be
patriotic — not even a government railroad administration. No
student of the present industrial situation would seriously question
the assertion that the demoralization of the lumber industry con-
stitutes the principal cause of the appalling demoralization in the
wood using industries. "Our foundation has been removed."
Must Change Ideas
Many of the wooduser's most difficult problems are of a psycho-
logical kind. It is the "squint" that we have acquired from a
long but not altogether venerable tradition.
Recently a high executive in a big woodusing industry remarked
to the writer, "We have got a funny row on in our plant, between
the engineering and the purchase departments. The designer speci-
fies ash for a certain unit, for which laboratory tests show that other
hardwoods are equally serviceable. We have on hand sufficient
white oak dimension salvaged from other operations to fill this
requirement, but no ash. The purchase manager says he has got to
be shown that ash is indispensable; and the designer says he won't
have anything else. So there you are."
Kvidently our first problem is to see that our specifications are
reasonable from the dimension manufacturer's point of view. We
must help our designers to get rid of the idea that they have a free
hand to design without reference to the economic restrictions of raw
materials. I speak as one who has bought costly experience. Such
an attitude will not only give to our suppl.v sources confidence to
produce, but it will greatly conserve and foster the processes of
economic production in our own plants. The designer who insists
on refusing to use a half million feet of white oak in stock, and on
enforcing the purchase of a half million feet of white ash, which
for the purpose intended had no advantage — that whole breed,
altogether too common among us, needs "the hook."
The Standardization Committee is endeavoring to follow out this
suggestion in all its procedure. We do not publish any standardiza-
tion until the Rules Committees of the lumber associations interested
have ample opportunity to scrutinize and criticize the conclusions
of this committee.
Our next problem is to erase completely from our business think-
ing the old and prejudicial tradition that dimension is made from
waste, which costs nothing; .and that consequently dimension ought
to be sold around that figure. It is proper for the lumberman to
repl.v that this idea is correct, providing you can find any waste
around your own shop which costs nothing. The main purpose of
this article is to set out plainly the real values which inhere in
standardized dimension as compared with the lumber necessary to
• The chairman of the Committee ot Standardization, the Association of
Wood Using Industries'.
])oduce our dinieu.sion in our own plants. We must be prepared to
l)ay for dimension a fair price.
Closely related to the foregoing is the new problem of readjusting
our ideas to the new methods of handling, seasoning, and routing
our stocks of lumber, in the form of dimension. The technical prob-
lems are already the subject of intensive study, with the collabora-
tion of the Forest Products Laboratory. Yardage requirements will
lie greatly decreased, as will be requirements for kiln capacity. The
writer believes that it will soon be established that the kiln work
should be done by the Dimension Producer. At all events the kiln-
ing of dimension stock requires a procedure of its own. Possibly
this can be accomplished more economically in the plank at the saw
mill than by any other method.
Standardization will also mean the eliminatiou of most of the
preparatory processes, taking the wood using industries as a whole.
The big "saw room" will fade to a mere shadow of its former
greatness and nuisance. The sawroom force will be busy assem-
bling wood products. Business in kindling will greatly dwindle.
Cost accounting will probably begin to take on a semblance of
veracity, Utopian and unbelievable as the statement may read.
However, the road to all these desirable results is a long one and
nut without very great difficulties.
Theoretical Values of Hardwood Dimension in Terms of Standard
Hardwood Grades
The expression "theoretical values" is used because so far it has
been possible only to cheek actual values in a limited way. These
theoretical values are actual values, as far as this work of checking
has been carried, but might show considerable variation when com-
pared with other lines of experience. For the same reason, it is
necessary to confine this discussion to hardwoods, although the
work of Standardization must eventually also cover all coniferous
woods.
Mill Buu (No. 3 C&B) Basis of Study
In the study that follows, we have considered all the lumber
portion of the products of the log which grade No. 3 C&B. Accord-
ing to the U. S. Forest Service 's Bureau of Industrial Investigations,
this is only 40.3 per cent of the content of the log. So it is evident
that when Standardization for hardwoods is complete only 40 percent
of the log will have been "conserved." Among the waste items
outside this study are the following percentages of waste in han-
dling the average hardwood log: Kerf, 13 per cent; slabs, 12 per
cent; edging and trimming wastes, 12 per cent; bark, 13 per cent,
and other about 10 per cent.
Very complete and exhaustive studies have been made by the
National Association of Wood Turners as to the clear content of
mill run lumber for turning squares. Roughly speaking, northern
hardwoods run 50 per cent of clear stock; while some southern
hardwoods run as high as 60 per cent clear stock suitable for turning
squares. The following analysis of northern hardwoods (beeeh,
birch, and majde) has been checked with the recent cost studies
given out by the Michigan Hardwood association, and incorporates
their realization prices, as of May 1, 1921. Bear in mind that all
wood fabrication requiring clear hardwood stock can now draw
only 20 per cent of the content of the average hardwood log. Even
the selects fail to affect this slight margin to a practical extent.
For easy reference, we have set this up in the form of a chart.
It is interesting to note that the footage value-at-mill of clear
cuttings for wood turning stock equalizes in all four grades, very
nearly. But as soon as freights and costs at the wooduser 's plant
are added, FAS is by long odds the cheapest lumber to buy, as it is

generally kuowii. This is iii spite of the fact that the spieail be-
tween No. 1 C and FAS is al)norinalIy large at the present time.
Standardization Will Effect Great Savings in Lumber and Freight
Now if the ostablisliniont of ;i marliet for staniiardized dimen.siou
stock becomes effective, by means of which the bulk of low grade
lumber (and all mill waste possible) can be marketed as net dimen-
sion, the enormous wastes and expense involved in shipping low
grade lumber will be eliminated.
Freight will have to be paid only on the net usable salvage of
low grades and waste. Now ostensibly the cost of freight is in-
cluded in the price of the lumlier, and loaded on the buyer. Actually,
it is an open question W'hich party is paying tlie freight. About
now the lumberman is not only paying all freight, but he is paying
considerable in addition for the privilege of shipping on that basis.
Last year, at this time, it was the other way 'round. However, the
freight paid on the non-usable portion of graded hardwood lumber
is a dead loss, whoever has to pay it. The conversion of low grades
into net dimension will entirely relieve liotli parties from all lia-
bility to pay this dead loss, which in the aggregate is a stagger-
ing sum.
Possibly a thcjrough study of the freight jiroblem would lead to a
different conclusion, but apparently the money values involved in
this single item of freight waste is a sufficient warrant for both
lumbermen and wood users to league together to make effective the
whole program of Standardization.
In order to bring this out as graphically as possible, we have pre-
pared the following cliart. The black portion of each square rep-
resents the relative amount of freight paid on the usable portion of
each commercial grade of hardwood lumber. The white portion of
each square represents the relative amount of freight waste involved
in shipping commercial lumber. The total amount of this waste is
•only six points less than the freight on the usable portion. This
means that the freight charges on all raw materials for hardwood
fabricating industries such as furniture are almost exactly double
what they need to be. The fluctuation between the "Buyers" and
.the "Sellers" market decides which party has to pay this double

"The Deadly ParaUel"
In these three papers, an attempt has been made to discuss the
general problems of the Standardization Program. No attempt has
been made to handle any of the patriotic or altruistic phases — not
that the value of these considerations are held to be of minor im-
portance. No attempt has been made to furnish a technical basis
-on which to undertake the manufacture and marketing of Dimension
Stock. These factors will be dealt with as occasion may arise.
To summarize the considerations which have been discussed more
-or less adequately, as sound reasons for both lumbermen and wood-
users to give their support to the Standardization Program, we
have arranged these considerations in parallel columns, as they
affect favorably one or the other of the parties at interest.

.\s one looks over this rough summary, at least one fact sticks out
big and plain. It's a good proposition for all concerned. Just
where the weight of advantage lies, time only will tell. Also time
will adjust that advantage (if any) so that the whole problem will
be on the same basis as ordinary transactions in commercial lumber.
The reader no doubt sees important matters which the wTiter has
overlooked. If he is a lumberman, he will doubtless rather incline to
the opinion that the wooduser is getting the best of it. On the
other hand, if the reader be a wooduser, or the late attorney-general,
he will certainly lean to the opinion that the lumbermen have all

the best of the argument. Without hesitation, the issue is left to
the tender mercies of the parties at interest.
How About the Price?
Somewliat witli trembling and fear we approach this sub.ject.
But we have to admit that this thought is in the minds of all.
What shall we pay for Standardized Dimension Stock? Or, to put it
another wa.y, What price has the producer a right to charge?
Without any question, eventually the price of Standardized Di-
mension Stock will be determined by the two factors of supply and
demand, and its relative advantage to woodusers as compared vidth
commercial lumber. The usual sparring for price advantage is to
be expected. Sometimes the market will be a buyers' market and
sometimes a sellers' market. No sensible business man would want
anything different under existing conditions.
Probabl.v it would be a jiure guess to make a suggestion for a
basis, so to speak, a place to start from. Looking over past history;
considering the parit.y of advantage that is likely to accrue both to
producer and user of standardized dimension stock; having due
regard for the ominous outlook for future forest resources; realizing
that almost to a certainty the producer will protest "too low" and
the user will retort "too high," and unitedl.v chase the writer to
the tall timber; nevertheless said writer — speaking for himself only
— elects to suggest this basis: "Let the parties at interest start
the discussion on the basis of a parity in price between No. 1
Standard Dimension and combined First and Second Grades of com-
mercial lumber, applicable at the outset to the following indus-
tries: FURNITURE, AUTOMOBILE, WOOD TURNING, WOOD
SHAPING, AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS."

pnssible to doteriniuo with accuracy what percentage of reinspections
ilcmiiiidi'il were influenced by the rapid decline in prices and general
(li'monili/.i'd ciinilitions which have obtained during many months of the
year wliuli closes with this meeting, but it is certain the rather general
tendency to undervalue de.i;rade stock has adversely affected the net show-
ing in reiuspeetion adjustments.
Proposed By-Laws Change
In conformity with -VrticU' .\ uf the liy-I.aws, the following change is
suggested in Article VII under the heading of "Meetings." Section 1.
paragraph 1, add: "or by the E.xecutivc Committee." If adopted, this
sentence will rend : "The place and date of the annual meeting of this
.\ss(K'iation shall be selected by the Board of Managers or by the Executive
I'ommittee of the Association." The suggestion for this change is in the
interest of economy, as during one or two recent years the entire Board
have been called to meet, when, aside from the selection of meeting place
.■Hid date for the meeting, there has he<'n practically notliin.g demanding
their attention, and under such conditions the Executive I'lmnnittee ot
seven, by correspondence with the members of the Board of Managers, can
easily ascertain their views and decide according to majority idea.
In every Industry the unscrupulous operator will, if detcrmintti. Hud
means to acc(unplish his ends, but, fortunately for us, the percentage of
such people in the hardwood industry is unimportant, and each year sees
further reductions In their ranks. There Is much evidence at hand that
the Natinnal Hardwood Lumber Association, as now conducted, has lieen
the most powerful agency nt work in the discouragement of unfair
methods in our industry, and positive evidence is not lacking that serious
diflferences and disputes, involving litigation, are fewer in. number as a
direct result of the effectiveness of the National Association plan of
al>solutely fair and impartial handling of disputed shipments through the
agency of its Inspection Bureau.
With the friendly relationship that has been so firmly established by the
National Hardwood Lumber Association with practically all buyers of
hardwoods, and a continuation of the loyal and unselfish support of this
membership, it is my belief that this association will continue in its progress
each year and he able to maintain its present position as the strongest
and most influential trade association in existence.
-\nd now, in closing, I desire to briefly call attention to the social side
of our associate activities. It has always been a cardinal principle of this
membership that these annual meetings should afford the highest expres-
sion of good fellowship, under the belief that men possessing common
interests cannot know each other too well, and under the further belief
that aequaintance ripens into genuine friendship more quickly and more
surely under the spell of social concourse than under any other condition.
Hence, much effort, time, and money have been expended to make of these
meetings the outstanding social events wliich have ever characterized the
annual assemblages of this membership.
The entertainment afforded at these meetings does not just happen, but
instead, it is the product of weeks of constant and careful effort on the
part of the office of the Secretary, and I should be amply paid for all this
effort, if there were no other compensation than the sincere appreciation
of the members in attendance of the results attained.
Without doubt this is to be the very best meeting we have ever attempted
and my parting word to all of yon is, to forget your business worries for
the time being, let down from your nerve strain, and go in for the best
time you have ever had.

Injunction Retards Hoover Plan
Whether or not the AmeriiMii U.-inlwood Maiiufai-turers ' Associa-
tion will be able to gather information fr<]ni its members regarding
I)ro(,luetion, shipments and stocks of hardwood lumber for use of
Seeretary Hoover of the Department of Commerce, Wasliington,
depends entirely upon the attitude of the Department of Justice in
connection with this subject. Mr. Hoover wants to make use of the
various lumber organizations which are already established as a
means of facilitating the gathering of the information which he
desires to compile in the interest of the general public as well as the
industry itself.
The American Hardwood Manufacturers' Association, however,
occupies a rather unique position in the respect that its members
identified with the open competition plan arc under an injunction
restraining them from any and all activities whatsoever under the
open competition plan. It was hoped that the Supreme Court would
modify this injunction to the extent of allowing the association to
compile data regarding sales and stocks of hardwood lumber, but
advices received from Washington June 1 indicate that it has
declined to take this course, b.y denying a request for a supersedeas.
In view of the attitude of the Supreme Court, it will be necessary
for the Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice to
reach some agreement under the terms of which members of the
American Hardwood Manufacturers' Association in furnishing
this data will be free from any possible charge oi violation of the
order issued by Judge John E. McCall of Memphis in March, 1920.
This is the status at the present time and it is quite clear that
the association cannot proceed with the compilation of this infor-
mation for Secretary Hoover unless special arrangements are
worked out to that end.
John M. Pritehard, secretary-manager of the association, who
participated in the conference at Washington between Secretary
Hoover and representatives of the lumber industry, is very much
impressed with the earnestness of Mr. Hoover in his desire to
secure the basic facts of the industry for the benefit of the general
public as well as for those engaged therein. According to Mr.
Pritcliard, Mr. Hoover is anxious to make his dejiartment really
worth while and this is the main reason back of this movement
which he has launched for the gathering of such data. He believes
that proper knowledge of stocks, production and shipment will be
of very great value to the public and that it will also, at the same
time, result in stabilizing business. He points out that the knowl-
edge of the quantity of lumber available and its location will
enable the Department of Commerce to assist those who are in the
market in placing their orders and in securing their requirements.
It goes without saying that the association is very anxious to
co-operate with Secretary Hoover in the movement which he has
launched and it is only awaiting advices indicating that the De-
partment of Justice will not consider its furnishing this informa-
tion to Secretary Hoover as a violation, in any sense, of the injunc-
tion now running against the defendants in the open competition
plan case.
Lumbermen to Gather Statistics Under Hoover's
Auspices
A program whereby the UunbcT anil wood using industry and the
public may be regularly advised as to the vital statistics of lumber
was launched at a conference held on May 24 between lumbermen
and officers of the lumber association and Secretary of Commerce
Herbert Hoover, in Washington, D. C. These statistics will cover
current prices, stocks on hand, production and shipments.
In opening the conference, Secretary Hoover told the lumberman
that stories published to the effect that the Department of Com-
merce was to take over some of the work done in the past by the
Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice were
wrong.
"What we want to do," sairl .\Ir. Hoover, "is tfl help the in-
dustry in every way we can with an adequate statistical service,
not only for the lumber industry but for all industries."
M. W. Stark, vice-president and chairman of the statistical com-
mittee of the American Hardwood Manufacturers' Association,
pledged the aid of his association to the Department of Commerce
in its work, as did D. D. Conn of the ShevIin-CarpenterClarke-
Company of Minneapolis, representing the Western Pine Manu-
facturers' Association and the Northern Pine Manufacturers' Asso-
ciation; W. C. Sherman, president, Georgia-Florida Saw Mill Associa-
tion; John E. Rhodes, secretary and manager of the Southern Pine-
Association, New Orleans, and otlier representatives of hard and
soft wood associations.
The National Lumber Manufacturers' Association made the an-
nouncement in which it stated that information of this character
would bo must helpful to the producer as well as the consumer,
and continues:
It is significant that if this is the attitude of the Department of Com-
merce, it is in a measure a reversal of that policy which heretofore has
found grave fault with certain activities of tlie lumber industry which have
the same general purposes in view, and these activities are challenged liy
the Department of .Tiistice and tlie I<"ederal Trade Commission, if the
program is to he carried out, it will piace the industry upon the same basis
of understanding with the public that now is enjoyed by the other interests
which have their marketing facilities and statistics outlets.
A tentative proposal of the Department of Commerce contemplates the
assembling of statistical information through the facilities of thi> National
Lumber .Manufacturers' Association, and the same machinery will be used,
so far as possible, in disseminating that information to the industry and
to the public.
Lumbermen told Mr. Hoover that some difficulty might be ex-
perienced by the Department of Commerce in obtaining information
from thousands of small mills throughout the country who were not
members of any association. One of the surprising developments
of the conference was the fact that but a small percentage of mills
belong to the associations and the associations have great difficulty
in securing any information from these members.
The following lumbermen and officers of lumber associations at-
tended the conference:
.John E. Rhodes, secretary and manager Southern Pine Associa-
tion, New Orleans; W. C. Sherman, president, Georgia-Florida, Saw-
Mill Association, Perry, Fla.; C. E. Harrell, secretary-manager,
Georgia-Florida Saw Mill Association, Jacksonville; Gilbert L.

HARDWOOD RECORD
June 10. 1921
The Department of Justice will institute action against trade
associations which engage in the so-called "open price" practices,
according to an announcement made by Attorney General Dauglierty.
Investigations of many of those associations have been conducted,
and while the Attorney General said that it was not the policy to
institute a general dragnet, those which are thought to be violators
of the law will have proceedings brought against them in the courts.
Practices and plans of associations wliich gather trade information
are being inquired into for possible violations of the Federal
statutes, the Attorney General explained.
The Hardwood Lumber case, pcn<iing iu tlie United States
Supreme Court and the Yellow Pine case in St. Louis, are results
pf proceedings begun under the Wilson administration, the Attorney
General said, adding that decisions would be reached soon as to
whether action would be begun against another organization for
alleged violation of the antitrust laws.
The policy of the Department, Attorney General Dauglierty
stated, was to call iu the officers of an association which investiga-
tion has disclosed to have violated the anti-trust laws and to make
an effort to persuade them to discontinue their practices. There
was no intention on the part of the Government to attack business
associations, he declared, but there was considerable doubt, due to
conflicting court decisions, as to how far business men could go in
their organizations without violating the laws.
The object of the movement on the part of the Department of
Justice, Mr. Daugherty stated, was to have the law definitely
determined so that both the government and the business men would
know where they stand.
Associations collecting and disseminating trade information
co-operated with the Government during the war as a necessity, the
Attorney General said, but now the data was distributed among the
members, but not given the Government, and it was to be determined
whether the acquisition and use of this information might be turned
to price-fixing and providing territories to concerns iu violation of
the law.
Formation of the association he likened in some cases to a spider's
web, with no particular part contrary to the law but with the whole
put together and focusing down on the spider in the center, result-
ing in price fixing. In some instances, he said, the distribution of
trade information within an industry made for uniformity of prices,
which stifled competition and, while there might not be definite
agreements, "a wink of the eye and a nod of the head" were suffi-
cient to accomplish the results desired.
The Attorney General said that he had discussed the matter with
Secretary Hoover, who is holding a series of conferences with the
representatives of the leading industries in an effort to obtain their
co-operation in the publication of comprehensive trade statistics by
the Government, and that information and advice on the subject
Jiad been exchanged.
In connection with Mr. Hoover's proposal for the formation of
combinations of exporters to compete in foreign trade with their
rivals abroad, Mr. Daugherty said that he thought such organiza-
tions could be reconciled with the anti-trust laws as long as there
was nothing effected which would cause the fixing of prices in this
country.
Immediate Rate Reduction Urged
An immediate reduction in freiglit rates on lumber from all sec-
tions of the country was urged at a joint conference between Rail-
way Executives and lumber manufacturers and consumers, held in
Washington on June 2 in the offices of Lincoln Green, vice president
pf the Southern Kailvvay Company.
J^nmberuien from virtually all sections of the country, represent-
ing both the hard and soft wood industries, expressed the belief to
the railway heads that a reduction in rates on lumber would aid
in stimulating business. The lumbermen stated that they had
deflated prices, taken their losses and that today they are selling
their lumber at or below cost of production.
It was developed at the meeting that over 80 per cent of the
hardwood mills of the south, southwestern and Appalachian regions
were closed and that owing to the tremendous increases that had
become effective on inbound logs and o-utbound manufactured lum-
ber, these mills would not be able to operate until the freight rates
liad been adjusted so as to enable them to compete with lumber and
substitutes produced at the very doors of the consuming trade.
Representatives of the Michigan hardwood territory stated that
when the logs they had on hand were manufactured, the mills would
close as they could not afford to cut at a continued loss.
In reply to a direct inquiry from the railroad executives as to how
present prices of hardwoods compared with those of 1916, the lum-
bermen stated that current average prices were in some instances
as much as 30 per cent lower than prices prevailing in 1916. A. E.
Pope, purchasing agent for Dodge Brothers, Detroit, and E. C.
Swift, representing the International Harvester Company, and
other large users of hardwood, testified that they were compelled to
abandon the use of hardwoods from the south and substitute steel
or the lumber produced in the immediate vicinity of their plants.
It was also shown that No. 3 common oak, which was selling around
.$4 f.o.b. mill, was being burned as fuel wood, which under a rail-
road readjustment of rates, the mills would be able to ship to the
consuming markets. It was shown that in some instances hardwood
lumber was paying the railroads over $75 per day per car for trans-
portation. In other words, the total freight charges on a car of
hardwood lumber for the number of days in transportation, averaged
about $7-5 per day.
The hardwood representatives did not seem adverse to a ver\-
higli minimum weight, provided they could arrange substantial
reduction in their rates.
Softwood lumbermen testified that under tbe present freight rates
they were only able to move their highest grades, the cream of the
lumber production; that they were forced to sell the lower grades
at such prices as would hardly pay for loading into the cars. It is
necessary for lumbermen to move all of their product to operate
successfully, it was stated. The stocks of low grades are now double
what they have been and cannot be absorbed at point of production.
The freight alone on low grade redwood boards to eastern territory
is $25, and the mills would have to contribute part of the freight
in order to move this product.
To the inquiry from the railroad executives as to how present
softwood prices compared with those of 1916, lumbermen stated
that the current prices of softwoods were in some instances as low
as they were in 1916, and on the average were only 20 to 25 per cent
higher.. Testimony from all the lumbermen indicated that lumber
prices have been reduced to a rock-bottom level.
Some of the carriers indicated a willingness to reduce rates if
they could be convinced that increased tonnage would result. The
lumbermen could not state that a reduction in lumber rates at this
time would result in any considerable increase in tonnage in the
immediate future, but asserted the effect of a reduction in rates
made at this time would soon be felt. Lumbermen believe that
the present level of rates is too burdensome and must be reduced
and that the announcement of a reduction at this time would
encourage the resumption of buying.

A New Conservator of Human Labor
It has bi'i'ii snid tli;tt hf who makes "two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before " is a benefactor to mankind, and this
is true. But it is c'i|u;illy true that he who invents a machine that
will enable one man to do the work of two has bestowed a benefac-
tion upon liis kind. Man has evolved largely by just this method.
Labor-saving mucliincs have done more for civilization than any-
thing else. Jiducation and material comforts could never have
come into tlie possession of vast hordes of the peoples of the world
had it not been for these machines, which perform services that
-otherwise would have to be done by the hands of men. It is true,
there was enlightenment, grandeur and wealth in the ancient and
middle civilizations, but these riches were possessed only by a
favored few, and were created by masses of slaves or feudal
retainers. The foundation of these cultures were laid upon the
bent backs, the jioverty and ignorance of the helot masses. But
labor saving machines have disseminated these benefits among mil-
lions. Tlie masses are now comparatively free, and if progress in
the invention of labor saving devices continues there may come a
millenial day when all men will be released from physical toil.
It may strike you that this is a rather pompous manner of
approaching a description of a device for carrying lumber. But
it is entirely appropriate, for the device in question contributes its
quota to tliat great civilizing process of human-labor conservation.
"The Pullman One-Man Transfer Car," which has just been placed
on the market by the Pullman Couch Company of Chicago, is a
great conservator of labor, being so constructed that one man can
do the labor of a dozen or more.
This car was born of experiences in handling lumber from the
yard to the dry kilns and from the kilns to the woodworking rooms
in the big Chicago plant of the Pullman Couch Company. Before
the invention was placed on the market by the owners it was sub-
jected to a severe eighteen-months' test. After it had shown that
it could stand up under all the vicissitudes of practical operation its
manufacture in quantities was begun.
The following is a description which the owners give of this car:
The rullman Ono-Miin Transfer Ciir enables you to handle and transfer
lunilier from yard to kiln with one man. It offers one of the greatest
oppiirtunities for outtinf; cost of nianufacturiug today.
The ronnnoii nictliud of loading lumber and taking it to the kilns is as
folNnvs :
Th*_- .\'iii«l Inrfniau lias t<. j:»'t all lii^ lui.'n tcif^'cther, who are scattertMi all
over the yard. Some are on top of a high jiile of lumber : others In lum-
ber cars ; others stacking. By the time he has got his crew of six to eight
iin'n together a great deal of time is lost. Then tliey start tugging and
pushing at the loaded kiln car to get it on the transfer car. In the winter
it is often necessary to first clean away the snow and ice before the men
are able to move the car, and then oftentimes it is necessary to send to
the mill or elsewhere for additional help. Finally, the car is moved on to
the transfer car and then started on its way to the ciry kiln, which is
always a slow drawn-out operation. Eventually they get the car in front
of dry kiln. Again the positions of the men are changed to start the
loaded kiln cai' into the kiln. The men dislike this job on account of it
being so dangerous, due to the kilns not having any floors In them. In
many cases it takes as long as four hours to charge a single kiln and about
the same length of time to unload one. This is a iirimitive method —
nothing but a waste of time and money.
The old way of loading a kiln car is a bulky, heavy and risky proposi-
tion. The number of men required makes it a costly operation. When
anything goes wrong, as frequently liappens owing to the nature of the
work, the crew of men is kept waiting until the trouble is remedied.
Again, because of the nature of the work, both in the yard and in the
kilns, there is the element of danger to be considered.
The Pullman One-Man Transfer Car actually pays its cost in from three
to nine months, according to the amount of work it is given. This is
guaranteed ! After its cost has been saved it begins to pay dividends.
By the use of this car one man can take a loaded kiln car of lumber from
your yard, to and from your dry kiln, and to dry storage and out again,
into the machine room, to anywhere to and from the yard, in about one-
third of the time now required by six to eight men. The car will pull any
size load, either cross-piled or end-piled.
This is cumbersome, dilBeult and a dangerous task. As the kilns have
no floors, because of the radiation unit being below, there is always the
■langer of men falling into the pit.
Tlie old metliod employed for removing the loaded kiln cars from tlie
kiln is an awkward and ofttinies difficult one. Witli the Pullman One-Man
Transfer Car the operator simply "hooks on" to the loaded car and pulls
it on to the transfer car. If he is loading the kiln he runs the drum in
reverse rotation and pulls or pushes the load into the kiln.
The Pullman car is so designed and constructed so that any kind of
labor can operate it safely. No training or technical knowledge is
required. It is "fool-proof."
The mechanical parts are made rigid and with ample strength — can
stand all kinds of abuse. There are but few moving parts, so there is
practically nothing to get out of order.
The Pullman car does not take up any more space than any regular
hand-power transfer car.
The ineehaiiieal parts are all contained within the frame nf the car.

The producers and buyers of southern lirirdwood lumber through-
out the country will no doubt be amazed at the facts revealed in
the adjoining table of production prei)ared by- May Brothers,
Memphis, Tenn. It has long been known that the percentage of
firsts and seconds grade cut hardwood logs was suffering a serious
decline. Manufacturers of hardwood lumber have been poignantly
aware of this, because it sat upon their ledgers like an incubus,
depressing their profits and sending their cost of operation higher
and higher. Buyers have also been aware of the steadily increasing
shortage of FAS lumber, because of the growing difficulty of
filling their requirements. Of late, while there has been a con-
siderable accumulation of the lower grades, at no time during the
period of "non-buying" has there been a noticeable accumulation
of PAS. In fact, there has been, and is now, an actual scarcity, in
spite of the relatively slack demand.
Thus it appears that every one concerned has been made to feel
this situation, but no doubt none realized that it was as serious
as May Brothers' figures show it to be. Because of the general
lament over the shrinking percentages of FAS, few thought of the
additional fact that a like decline was taking place iu the money-
making species, such as white oak, red oak, ash, cottonwood and
poplar, with at the same time an alarming increase in the per-
centage of elm, sycamore, maple, hackberry and other secondary
southern hardwoods. You will note in reading the table that in
1908 to 1913 there was practically no gum in the run of timber,
but by 1919 and 1920, 43.8 per cent of the product of the mill has
become gum, 40 per cent of which is plain sap No. 2 common and
better, which can not be sold today for more than cost.
Note all along the line the heavy decline in the percentage of
FAS and the corresponding increase of No. 2 common and lower
grades. Then remember that hardly 50 per cent of the stock credited
to No. 3 common will grade as No. 3 common.
In the years 1908 to 1910, 54.3 per cent of the output of the
mill was FAS, while in 1919 and 1920 only 15.7 per cent out of a
total cut of 44,490,197 feet was FAS.
Accompanying this decline in the percentages of the money-
making grades and items of southern hardwood lumber, which in
itself was burden enough to bow the back of any industry, there
has been a steady pyramiding of freight rates. This pressure has
been brought to bear from two sides. For instance, the average
freight rate on logs hauled to the May Brothers' mill in 1908 was
.t^ per thousand feet whereas the current rate is $7 per thousand.
This is in addition to the several heavy increases in rates on the
finished product, increases which the manufacturer of hardwood
lumber must absorb when marketing his product under the condi-
tions now prevailing. Thus while the percentage of FAS grade in
southern hardwood lumber shipments was shrinking from 54.3 per
cent to 15.7 per cent of the cut of the log, freight rates advanced
50 or 75 per cent. It is hardly necessary to point out the glaring
injustice of a rising freight rate on a commodity declining in value.
In submitting this table to Hardwood Record. May Brothers
directed attention to the fact that the decline in upper grades in
the cut of small mills, which represent the majority of production,
has undoubtedly been greater than the shrinkage at their opera-
tion. The smaller mills do not have as good nor as large stands
of timber to draw from and manifestly their cutting methods are
not as efiSeient as those of an organization the size of May Brothers.
Consequently they would produce a relatively larger percentage
of low grade stock per log.

In our own plant, where the car has been in daily use for over a year
and a half, we have so far not had an expenditure of a single dollar for
repairs. It has supplanted six to seven men. At the current wages in our

Strangers Three
Pessimist and Optimist met one day and they l>egan to discuss
the merits of their respective philosophies.
"Everything that is isn't," said Pessimist. ".Nothing can he set
to rights."
Optimist replied. "You arc wrong, friend : everything that isn't
is. From nothing everything was* created. For everything wrong
there is a remedy."
Then Pessimist challenged hira : "Come, let us take the open road
together : we will see what we shall see."
They had hardly started before they were overtaken by a stranger.
His face had no trace of l>itterness. Pessimist felt indifferent toward
him. He was very silent : no inviting smile illumined his counte-
nance. Optimist felt no attraction toward him. But he seemed civil
enough, so they invited him to join their philosophic walk.
The three were only an hour or so on the road when they came
upcm a car, stalled in a ditch.
"That fellow will never get that car out of that ditch in this
forsaken place." said Pessimist.
"Oh," replied Optimist, "he will get clear all right. Some farmer
with a team will l>e along by and by."
They turned to their new companion for his opinion, but in the
same moment they saw him get down and under the car. They
watched him for some minutes. Soon he rose, covered with the dirt
of the road. He said to the owner of the car, "Friend, if you will
get in and take the wheel I'll shove from behind, and I think you
will pull out all right." In a few seconds the car started off. The
willing stranger began to dust off his clothes with his palms. Then
it occurred to the two philosophers to ask his name, for hitherto
they were unaware of his cognomen.
"Friends, my name is Peptimist. I am by occupation a doer.
What is not, I cause to be. What is wrong. I right. My tools are

Townshend Expects Early Adjustment of Rates
"I feel very sanguine that there will be an early readjustment in freight
rates on hardwood lumber and forest products as a result of the conference
held at Washington last Thursday with executives of the principal rail-
ways in the United States, and that we will know by the latter part of the
current week just what we are to receive, in the way of lower rates, from
the executives who took part in this conference."
This is the statement made today by J. H. Townshend, secretary-man-

Baltimoreans Skip Quarterly
Tlie (piarterly meeting of the Baltimore Lumber Exchange, which was
to have been held June 6 at the Merchants' Club has been called off for
the reason that there is really no business to come before the organization.
Such matters as claimed attention at all were looked after by the Managing
t'omnuttee at Its session in tlie afternoon, and as for the trade situation
generally, nothing has developed that would call for the consideration of
the larger bod.v. This is the first time in many years that a quarterly has
been passed, these gatlierings having been scheduled even during the war
period. W. Hunter Edwards, president of the Exchange, presided at the
meeting of the Manaiiing Committee.

Grand Rapids May Stabilize Prices
Exhibitors at July Furniture Market Expected to Offer Stocks at Figures Which
Will Reflect New Economic Status; Concourse of Buyers Is Expected
By Staff Correspondent
Ellis Gimbel, who will some day be the head of the House
of Gimbel, is a very keen and far sighted young business man.
He has absolutely proved that in the last five months. He came
to the January furniture market, making his first visit to the
Grand Rapids exposition. Immediately he gave out an interview
in which he said:
"The furniture manufacturers have not yet reduced their prices
enough. They have made a cut of an average of 20 per cent.
That is not enough. We want to buy furniture but we cannot
until the manufacturers reduce their prices low enough to make
their product attractive alongside other merchandise. For instance,
when on one floor of our stores we offer silks at a 50 per cent
reduction and something else at 40 per cent, we can't tempt a
purchaser with furniture which is reduced but 20 per cent. I don't
want any manufacturer to sell me a piece of furniture lower than
at a price which will give him a reasonable profit, but I am sure
the furniture men have not yet cut as low as they could and
must if they are to sell their products."
The interview which Mr. Gimbel gave out was somewhat lengthy
but this was the gist of it. Its publication almost made furni-
ture manufacturers in the market have hemorrhages. They in-
sisted they had reached the rock bottom level and that to cut
another penny in price would be to sell below cost. They left no
stone unturned all through the three weeks of the market to hold
the prices where they were. But Mr. Gimbel was right and the
manufacturers now confess it.
Before the January market was over at least two large manu-
facturers made further cuts in prices and thereby brought down
upon themselves the wrath of all the rest. But as soon as the
market w^as over and the salesmen took the road, all the prices
tumbled and they tumbled in such a fashion as to bring something
near to demoralization to the furniture business.
That period has now passed, however. The July market will
open June 27 and that date will find furniture on display with
cuts as high as 20 and 25 per cent below the so-called "rock
bottom" prices of January. Manufacturers admit now that they
had not cut their prices sufficiently in January. They admit now
that during the two years immediately following the ^var when for
the first time in the history of their industry they had enjoyed
some real seller's markets and some real profits that they had ac-
quired a taste for the sweets of life which they were loth to let
go of and consequently did not reduce their prices as low as they
might have and should in order to stimulate the business and at
the same time to stabilize it.
Prices That Will Stabilize
But the prices which will prevail in the midsummer market will
be so low and the values ofiFered will be so real that the market
will at least be stabilized whether it is brisk or not. The manu-
facturer is right now out after business. Many of them during
the period immediately following the war entered upon large ex-
pansions. Some built entirely new factories and most of them
installed a lot of new machinery and reorganized their production
departments to more economically turn out merchandise. Some
of them had not completed all their work before the slump in the
furniture business came a year ago and the result was that some
of them found themselves in deep water while most of them found
it highly desirable to keep the plants in operation and to dispose
of the product.
The result of this has been that the furniture manufacturer has
decided to move his product on a much smaller margin of profit
than he had been taking during the two years previous and this
determination when added to the economies in production brought
about by the expansions and new equipment has made it possible
for him to reduce his prices for the mid-summer market to a point
that when suggested by Mr. Gimbel in January all but caused
hysterics.
One other feature that has served to stabilize the furniture
prices at the lower levels is the lumber situation. Most of the
manufacturers have now worked off the greater part of their large
stocks of high priced lumber and are now using that which was
bought after the lumber market went to pieces. Those that have
not worked off all their old stocks have at least charged it off, ac-
cepted their losses and are counting it in at the prevailing prices
rather than at the price actually paid for it.
And again where six months ago an actual shortage of furni-
ture production prevailed, today there is an overplus if anything
and competition is keen. Two years ago, right at the time when
the tremendous demand for furniture resulted in a riot on the
market, many factories were still tied up with war contracts or
had not been reorganized following the making of war material.
Many more factories had heard the siren voice of the talking
machine concern and had quit the furniture business to engage in
thr making of talking machine cabinets. The war business has
all been done away with now and the talking machine business
has fallen so flat that there is no demand for cabinets now from
furniture factories. The result is that many of the old familiar
furniture companies which have been out of the market for the
last four or five seasons are back in it now and all have goods to
dispose of. The demand on the part of the householder has fallen
and the production has increased. The result is as always, the
supply exceeds the demand and the prices have been forced to
come dow^n.
Shortage of June Spaces
The result of this great desire on the part of furniture manu-
facturers to sell their product is that ^vhen the Grand Rapids
market opens here June 27 there w^ill be on display the largest
number of lines ever shown here. Indeed a considerable number
of old established lines that during the mad rush of 18 months
ago sold up for a year or two ahead and gave up their spaces in
the exposition buildings are now unable to find spaces and con-
sequently are not able to show although particularly anxious to
do so. Some of these lines are among the highest class in the
business, but every building is sold up to capacity and some lines
have even taken space in stores, leasing the windows for the dis-
play of their furniture during the four weeks of the market.
Every indication, too, is that the largest number of buyers who
ever came to the market \vill register during these four weeks.
What they are going to do after they get here is another question,
but they are coming at any rate. The indications are, too. that
there will be a considerable generosity in buying. Particularly is
this true among the Easterners. Business conditions in the East
seem to have improved more rapidly than elsewhere, and since
March 1 the furniture business in that section has been increas-
ingly good. Most of the dealers there have disposed of their big
and high priced stocks, having cut the prices to the bone, offered
real bargains and cleaned up. They are now in need of mer-
chandise, but have been content to lead a hand to mouth existence,
buying only enough to keep them going and waiting for the July
market when they have hoped to find conditions improved, prices
more stable and when, too, they will be able to get the new pat-

terns with which the furniture industry is right now being revolu-
tionized.
In the Middle West where the automobile industry controls so
largely, conditions are not so good and less is expected from the
dealers of this section than from the East. For a time when it
was announced almost daily that the automobile industry was
picking up, it was expected that general conditions would improve
and the furniture business along with it. But the automobile busi-
ness took another slump and things are still at something like a
standstill.
In the agricultural states what with the drop in the prices of
all farm products, especially wheat and pork, the furniture busi-
ness has been poor and heavy buying from this section is hardly
to be hoped for.
The south is flat. Last year's cotton crop not only remains
unsold but is mortgaged to the limit and the dealer down there
is unable to sell the furniture stock he already has, so who could
expect him to buy more?
But in spite of all these conditions the manufacturers look for a
steady, conservative and wise buying in the July market. They do
not expect and indeed do not hope for any such conditions as
broke upon them two years ago. They have fairly well cleaned
up their old stocks and old patterns and are out with new furni-
ture in new designs and expect businesslike, safe and sane buying
during the coming six months. They are urging this, too, because
they honestly expect that business conditions will have greatly
improved before the holidays and they hope the dealers will have
a fair stock on hand in order that there may be no flood of orders
for quick delivery a little later in the season.
Opinions of Manufacturers
The following excerpts from letters of manufacturers 1 have
received give a pretty fair indication of what conditions are and
what may be expected — at least what the manufacturers expect:
This from a big southern manufacturer: "Business with us
during January and February was very slow, but since then we
have succeeded in closing out all of our old patterns and now
have the factories running at a fair rate of speed on new goods.
We shall have a complete new line in the Grand Rapids market.
We don't expect to get rich at the July market. From what 1
can find out there is going to be a large number of buyers there
and while we expect to do more business than in January, we are
quite sure it will not be necessary to hang out any 'Sold Up* sign.**
This from one of the biggest commission men on the market:
"Business is only fair a little better in the East than in the Cen-
tral West. However, we find we can give away quite a little mer-
chandise when we find ourselves in a philanthropic mood. We
believe, however, that prices will be pretty well stabilized at the
Grand Rapids market."
An eastern manufacturer writes this: "Business has indeed been
very poor this spring, although we had our full share of it, but this
is not saying much."
This comes from an old Michigan manufacturer: "Of course
we can only guess about the July market, but 1 am convinced it will
see prices at the bottom and that the retailers will accept that
fact as a fact and be willing to buy what little they need at the
prices quoted. We do not expect to do any cut throat pricing."
A Wisconsin manufacturer writes: "This company has not
been complaining this season, as we have been kept moderately
busy since the first of March and business seems to improve each
week. We are very strongly in hopes that the July market will
show up nicely."
These quotations are from manufacturers who keep very closely
in touch with conditions everywhere and ought to be a fair
barometer of what the July market will show.
Next Evansville Market in August
The second semi-annual furniture and stove market to be given
under the auspices of the Evansville Furniture Manufacturers'
Association at Evansville, Ind,, w^ill be given on August 29 to Sep-
tember 3, according to an announcement made a few days ago.
Advertising in the leading trade journals of the United States
will start at once. The manufacturers are greatly enthused over
the coming market and believe it will bring many buyers and
visitors to Evansville. The first market of the Evansville manu-
facturers was held in April and the manufacturers at Evansville
say that a poorer time could not have been selected for that mar-
ket owing to the bad business conditions that existed all over the
country at that time. Now things have picked up a great deal and
in the opinion of the manufacturers conditions are going to con-
tinue to get better. The personnel of the executive committee of
the Evansville Furniture Manufacturers' Association that will have
the work of arranging the details of the September market will be
the same as it w^as during the April market. The members of the
committee are as follows: Edwin F. Karges, the Karges Furniture
Company, chairman ; Gilbert H. Bosse, the Imperial Desk Com-
pany; Sol Reese, the Midland Furniture Company; Henry W.
Goebel, the Klamer-Goebel Furniture Company, and Clarence H.
Noelting, the Faultless Caster Company. It is expected that more
out-of-town buyers and visitors will attend the second market than
the first one. "Buyers who attended the show in April, carried
home the word to other buyers who had never before thought of
purchasing furniture and stoves in Evansville," said Gilbert H.
Bosse. "The men who came last time will be back next time and
they will bring others with them," Buyers came to the April
market from twenty-two states in the United States and from
towns in Canada, Mexico and Cuba. The sales at the April mar-
ket amounted to something over $100,000. The Evansville manu-
facturers are planning things on a much larger scale for the next
market.
Evansville Opens Southern Depot
The first of several contemplated distributing houses for furni-
ture made in Evansville, Ind., has been opened at Dallas, Texas.
Harry Schu, secretary and treasurer of the Crescent and U. S.
Furniture Companies; Oscar A. Klamer, head of four Evansville
factories, and Henry J. Rusche, of the Specialty Furniture Com-
pany, returned a few days ago from Dallas after completing ar-
rangements for the organization of the new center. F. L. Schum-
pert, who has represented Evansville furniture firms in Dallas,
will have charge of the center. Tlie men interested in the enter-
prise are O. A. Klamer, Klamer factories, president; Henry J.
Rusche, Specialty Furniture Company, vice-president: Harry Schu,
Crescent and U. S. factories; William M. Elles, of the Evansville
Desk Company; William A. Koch, of the Evansville Metal Bed
Company; Henry C. Menke, of the Indiana Furniture Company; G.
E. Marstall, of the Marstall Furniture Company at Henderson, Ky.,
F. L. Schumpert and F. L. Schumpert, Jr. The center was opened
for the accommodation of dealers in southern territory, according
to Harry Schu. The furniture will be shipped to the warehouse in
Dallas and dealers in furniture will then order through Dallas. A
similar center in Minneapolis and Cleveland is contemplated in the
near future. The new^ company is known as the F. L. Schumpert
Company and it has been capitalized at $20,000.
Benjamin Bosse, mayor of Evansville, president of the Globe-
Bosse-World Furniture Company and the Imperial Desk Company,
also connected with several other large manufacturing concerns of
that city, returned a few days ago from a business trip to St. Louis.
Mayor Bosse believes that the general business conditions of the
country are growing better day by day and that it is only a ques-
tion of time until trade will be booming again.

Two Generations of Honest Business
have resulted in the upbuilding of a veneer and lumber organiza-
tion which we now feel many buyers may be interested in. The
history of this business, which during forty years has been pro-
ducing a line of highgrade Oak Veneers, Hardwood and Yellow
Pine Lumber is inseparably linked with the best traditions of the
famous hardwood operations of Indiana. Its facilities pictured
herewith are a monument to successful and honest business.
These facilities have been sufficiently expanded so that we are
now pleased to announce to the consuming trade our ability to
handle the business of a few more discriminating buyers. This
announcement is especially directed to those who will appreciate
relations with a producing organization which long since
earned its reputation for strictly reliable product and service.

The Madison Laboratory on Casein Glues
Manufacture, Preparation and Application of These Glues Are Described in the
Light of the Latest Experience and Scientific Research
One of the many direct resulta of the war has been the intro-
duction of casein glues into the wood wol^king industries of this
country. Previously they had been used in Europe to a limited
extent in book binding and cabinet work, but their production on
a large scale was unknown. In the United States the use of casein
glues is more recent and their development has been more rapid
than in Europe. At the beginning of 1918 only one plant in this
country was manufacturing a water-resistant casein glue. With
our entrance into the war, the demand of the Army and Navy for
w^ate.proof plywood enormously increased the production so that
by the latter part of 1918 four different companies were manu-
facturing casein w^ater-resistant glues and the Forest Products
Laboratory had developed several formulas for making them from
the casein.
Types of Casein Glues
There are in general two types of casein glues which for con-
venience may be designated as prepared glues and wet mix glues.
In the former, the glue components are mixed dry; while in the
latter, the ingredients are added separately and at different times
during the mixing process. Casein glues on the market are of the
dry mix type; that is, they are prepared and shipped ready to
add to water. The Forest Products Laboratory has done a large
amount of work in developing casein glues and some of the best
formulas are of the wet mix type.
Manufacture of Casein
The principal constituent of all casein glues is casein, a product
obtained from milk. When milk sours naturally, casein is precipi-
tated and appears as "curd." When produced in this way it is
known as self-soured or natural soured casein. Other acids may be
added to the milk to precipitate the casein, the principal ones be-
ing used are hydrochloric (muriatic) and sulphuric. Rennet is
also used to some extent as a precipitating agent.
The usual steps in the production of casein are: (1) removal
of fat in the form of cream from the milk whicb is usually ac-
complished by means of a separator, (2) precipitation of the
casein, (3) washing to remove the acid and other impurities, (4)
drying, and (5) grinding to a powder. The care used in these
various steps of manufacture has a large effect upon the glue
making properties of the casein.
The principal requirements of casein to make it desirable for
glue making are (1) that the percentage of impurities such as
acid, moisture and fat must be small, (2) freedom from sour odors,
(3) clearness and uniformity of color; and, (4) fineness of parti-
cles. By grinding a casein to fine particles a minimum of time
is required in the mixing and a more uniform glue is obtained.
A casein ground to pass through a screen of from 50 to 60
meshes to the inch will give good results.
Manufacture of Glue
To produce glue, casein is mixed with other ingredients, the
chief of which are lime and water. These three constituents alone
will give a glue of good water-resistant properties but of short
life. Other ingredients are, therefore, added to increase the
working life and the water resistance and improve the other quali-
ties of the glue. Caustic soda, sodium fluoride and sodium silicate
are used in patented formulas. They all lengthen the life of the
glue and sodium fluoride probably gives the glue antiseptic prop-
erties. Still other ingredients are added to give the glue some
particularly desired property. Oils are usually added to the dry
mix glue to prevent disting in handling the glue. Formulas vary
therefore, not only with reference to materials used, but as to the
proportions of different ingredients.
Several formulas for mixing casein glues have been developed
at the Forest Products Laboratory. One of the best of these, with
a discussion of the method of mixing and a description of mate-
rials required, follows:
GLUE No. 4-A>
Formula
I 00 parts casein
I 30 to 280 parts water
soak I 5 minutes
15-22 parts hydrated powdered lime
90 parts water
70 parts silicate of soda
Method of Mixing
The proper quantity of water is introduced into the glue pot
and the mixing blade is brought into action at a speed correspond-
ing to about 50 or 60 revolutions per minute. The stirring is
allowed to continue during the addition of the casein to the water
and for a few minutes thereafter until the mixture becomes mush-
like in consistency, through the absorption of the free water by
the casein; the blade is then stopped and the mixture allow^ed to
soak.
After a period of fifteen minutes the soaking is considered com-
plete and the mixing blade is again brought into action. The lime
water mixture is now added and two or three minutes later the
liquid silicate of soda is introduced.
The mixing is allowed to continue for twenty minutes to one-
half hour after the addition of the silicate of soda, whereupon a
smooth, freely flowing mixture of uniform texture and free from
lumps should obtain.
Usually some actual experience in the mixing of this glue is
necessary before satisfactory results can be expected, and it is
rather advisable to have a new operator witness an actual demon-
stration. This is due to the fact that no precise quantity of water
can be prescribed, because of the variation in the water absorbing
qualities of different caseins. The criterion of whether or not the
proper quantity of soaking water has been added is the viscosity
of the finished (mixed) glue. If its consistency is too thin an
excess of water beyond that required has been used, and it is best
to reject the batch and try again. Similarly, if the consistency is
too thick and heavy an insufficient quantity of water has been
used. The water required for various types of casein lies in the
following ranges :
Lactic acid casein 1 30 to 1 70 parts water
Sulphuric acid casein
Hydrochloric acid casein!
170 to 220 parts water
Rennet casein 280 parts water
Description of Materials
Casein. — It is essential that the casein be of a reasonably pure
grade, carefully manufactured, free from offensive odors, objec-
tionable color, such as dark yellow^ or dirty color, and low^ in fat»
and free acid. It should be fine enough to pass through a 60-
mesh sieve.
Lime. — .\ high calcium lime gives satisfactory results but limes
containing a relatively large amount of magnesia can be used if a
sufficient quantity is taken to give the required calcium hydroxide
content. It can be prepared for use by adding just enough water

Many Executives Overlook Equipment Needs
By "Traveller.
Andrew Carnegie, in his autobiography, aays: "It is sur-
prising how few men appreciate the enormous dividends deriv-
able from investment in their own business. There is scarcely
a manufacturer in the world who has not in his work some
machinery that should be thrown out and replaced by improved
appliances; or who does not for the want of additional machinery
or new methods lose more than sufficient to pay the largest divi-
dend obtainable by investment beyond his own domain. And yet
most business men whom I have known invest in bank shares
and in far away enterprises while the true gold mine lies right
in their own factories."
1 think every plant executive should have this paragraph printed
in large type and framed over his desk, for undoubtedly a great
many of them entirely overlook the necessity of replacing their
machinery periodically with newer and more up-to-date types.
If anyone doubts this statement all he has to do to prove it is
to make a trip across the country and visit a number of plants.
The writer recently visited the plant of a piano company whose
instruments are well and favorably known. He expected to see
something up-to-the-minute in a piano factory but w^as very
much disappointed. The manager of the company, who is also
president, was at the factory at the time and took me in hand
to show me through the plant.
He took me through the various departments, showing me their
pianos in course of construction and pointing out their superior
features. When the inspection was finished and we were seated
in his office he asked what I thought of their plant. I asked him
if he wanted my candid opinion. He looked rather surprised and
then answered yes. "Well then," I said, "your plant is just about
twenty-five years behind the times. With the exception of a veneer
jointer, a taping machine, Whitney surfacer and a couple of belt
Sanders, practically your entire machine equipment should be
written off and replaced with modern machinery."
In the course of our conversation before going through the plant
this executive said that a year ago, when business was better than
it is now, they were unable to fill their orders. He wanted to
increase their production to about four thousand pianos a year,
their normal output being about twenty-five hundred. And, judg-
ing from his remarks to me, he was not at all pleased with his
organization when they failed to produce this number.
IVIy criticism of his machine equipment hurt him, as he is a man
who thinks there is nothing about him or his institution to find
fault with. He seemed disposed to argue the matter, but before
he could get an argument started I suggested that v^'e go back
over the plant and I would point out the most obvious defects.
The first thing I called his attention to was the hopelessly
inadequate size of his machine room. I showed him where one

The above is not an announcement of ordinary
facilities for veneer and plywood manufacture. We
offer to the trade a deluxe product manufactured in
the most extensive and complete plant of its kind in
the country. This business was founded in St. Louis
forty years ago on an humble, but sound basis. It
has progressed steadily since, the second of two
thoroughly modern factories having been completed
in St. Louis last year.
Our product is universally accepted as a standard
in plywood production because this business vs^as
founded practically in the infancy of commercial ply-
wood manufacture and much of the progress in per-
fecting this product is attributable to the thorough
organization and remarkably complete manufactur-
ing facilities of this company.
Your business may wisely be intrusted to our hands.

Many Executives Overlook Equipment Needs
part of the lower Hoor that was set aside for assembling backs was
as large as his entire machine room. 1 pointed out to him that if
his machine foreman was turning out stock for twenty-five hundred
pianos a year in that machine room with the limited space and old
machinery, he deserved a special vote of thanks from the directors.
Discussing Machines
Starting where the lumber entered the factory (see accompany-
ing plan), the first machine 1 discussed with him was No. 2, an
old band ripsaw which was probably used for cutting out the lum-
ber for Noah's Ark. This machine was supplemented by a hand-
feed ripsaw No. 3. This is the equipment they were ripping up
their stock with as it came from the swing saw. The ripsaw was
an iron frame machine with a wood top and had outlived its
usefulness.
From here the material passed to the planes Nos. 6 and 7. As
I have said, one of these was a practically new Whitney 36" single
surfacer. The other was an old-timer that was eating its head off
in the amount of time that had to be spent on it making adjust-
ments and coaxing it to function.
The glue jointer, No. 12, was of a similar vintage. No doubt
most readers are acquainted, either by actual experience or hear-
say, with that type of machine where one clamps the stock in
a traveling carriage which runs over the cutters and then returns.
That is the breed it belonged to.
Another antiquated machine they had was a power-stroke
mortiser. A mortiser is a machine one does not often see in a
piano factory. But if it is necessary to have one, it should be a
modern one, either of the chain or hollow-chisel type. In this case
the machine they had could have been profitably replaced by a
chain mortiser.
From the machine room we went to the case room on the sec-
ond floor. The first thing we saw on entering this department was
an old double cut-off saw that they were using for cutting their
tops, top doors, bottom doors, falls, etc., to length on. The operator
was fiddling around trying a square on a top door he had just cut.
It was about an eighth of an inch out of square. 1 pointed out to
the management that a double cut-off saw that would always cut
square, instead of requiring a lot of tinkering to adjust it properly,
should replace this machine, and that it would pay for itself in a
short time.
Other Plants Just as Bad
I have picked out and commented on the most outstanding mis-
fits in this plant, and in case any reader has gained the impression
from what I have written that none of the operations were con-
ducted on an efficient basis, I hasten to correct this impression.
Some of their methods were deserving of much credit. This plant
is not by any means alone in having equipment that requires re-
placing. 1 venture to say there are dozens of plants in various
parts of the country where machines the same as 1 have described,
or similar, are in use.
The operations and machines deserving of favorable mention
having been duly commented upon, the manager and 1 returned
to the office. Naturally, he asked for a solution of his difficulties,
and this I gave him to the best of my ability. The accompanying
plan shows the changes suggested. The addition to his plant which
I recommended is shown in dotted lines, while the existing building
is indicated by the solid lines.
The letters on the plan indicate: A, dry kiln; B, platform on
loading side of kiln; C, transfer tracks; D, platform for proposed
new wing; E, power plant; F. general offices; G 6c H. private
offices: 1, public entrance hallway; J, storeroom for finished pianos;
K, shipping room; L, door through which lumber is brought from
dry kilns to cut-off saw.
The numbers indicate: I, swing cut-off saw; 2, band ripsaw; 3,
hand-feed ripsaw; 4, buzz planer; 5, band saw; 6, cabinet planer;
( f'ultihuilfi jl Ifitl ftlKII -lit I
7, cabinet planer; 8, sticker; 9, shaper; 10, stroke mortiser; II,
jigsaw; 12, return feed glue jointer; 13, three-drum sander; 14,
wood-turning lathe; 15, back knife lathe.
This is a very poor arrangement, as a glance at the plan will
show. For instance, all stock to be glued up must be trucked to
the basement via the elevator shown and then, of course, returned
to the machine room for planing, etc.
Let us look now at that part of the plan drawn in dotted lines.
M is the transfer track for the cars of lumber to be switched into
the machine room convenient to the swing saws; N is the space set
aside for gluing joints. This department is not partitioned off but
is located as far away as possible from the door w^here the lumber
enters so the gluing operations will not be interfered with w^hen
the door is open. The equipment for this department would con-
sist of a Billstrom or some similar type of glue clamp carrier and
an edge gluing machine.
Nos. 1 6 and I 7 are swing saws; I 8 and 1 9 are chain-feed ripsav^rs
of the latest and most approved design ; 20 is a buzz planer ; 2 I ,
cabinet surfacer; 22, sticker; 23, continuous-feed glue jointer; 24,
cabinet surfacer; 25 and 26, band wood-turning lalhe and back-
knife lathe.
Arrange for Trucking Space
The balance of the machinery, such as band saw, shaper (1 sug-
gested adding another of each of these), mortiser, jigsaw, sander,
etc., would remain in the old part of the machine room, but would
be rearranged to give ample trucking space around each machine
and to avoid any doubling back of stock.
The swing saws, 1 6 and 1 7, can both be used for cutting up stock
that is to be edge glued if necessary, and so can both ripsaws. If
only one unit is required on this work it would be preferable to use
the one nearest the gluing department, leaving the other one to cut
up stock for mouldings or turnings.
The buzz planer is placed between the two ripsav^rs and beside
the sticker to be handy for facing off stock to be run through the
latter. The surfacer, 21, can be used for the rougher and odd
planing, while 24 will dress the stock that comes from the glue
presses. The continuous feed glue jointer (which, by the way, is
to supplant the old return feed machine mentioned earlier in our
article) is located between the power feed rip and the glue depart-
ment. This is a convenient place for it.
It will be seen that the hand-feed ripsaw is consigned to the scrap
heap and modern pow^er-feed saws recommended in its place. The
glue jointer, too, is scheduled to go.
With this addition to the plant and the suggested changes in
equipment, this plant would be in a fair way to be classed as up-to-
date. I would have recommended replacing the three-drum sander
with an endless bed machine, but I did not want to get myself dis-
liked too much.
The manager has these proposed changes under serious consid-
eration, and 1 learn from his foreman that he will undoubtedly put
some of them into effect. 1 think he will from now on give a good
deal of attention to his machine equipment. Let us hope so.
Mr. Carnegie, w^ho became many times a millionaire in the busi-
ness he built up. surely knew what he was talking about. With his
statement before them and a description of this piano factory \vhich
1 chose as an example, some plant executives who have concen-
trated all of their attention on the office end of their business may
learn something herefrom that will put them on the road to earn
dividends.

Veneer and Panel Men Face Important Program
The regular semi-annual meeting of the National Veneer &
Panel Manufacturers* Association will be held at the Auditorium
Hotfl. Chicago, on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 1 4 and 1 5.
The first day will he devoted to a general session and the second
day will be given over to separate group meetings of plywood
manufacturers, rotary veneer manufacturers, and figured veneer
m a n u f *'» c '. u r e r s .
The officers of the Association have proceeded upon the theory
that ^he members der.ire this meeting to be the means by which
each may learn what the industry is doing in the different sec-
tions of thi country. Little veneer or plywood is moving and it is
in times like these that it behooves manufacturers to get together
and compare notes and analyze conditions and learn what the
other fellow is doing.
It has been the custom of the National Veneer & Panel Manu-
facturers' Association to have one talk by a big business man of
national reputation who will state business facts and make a busi-
ness man's diagnosis of the industry's ailment and suggest general
rules of conduct for its improvement. This custom will be followed
and one of the biggest men in Chicago will address the meeting on
Tuesday morning.
J. F. Hirt, of the Forest Products Engineering Company, Chi-
cago, will address the association on the subject "Controlling
Moisture in Lumber and Veneer." Under this title he will discuss
the preparation of logs for the lathe, conditioning lumber for
core stock and the principal causes of waste in plywood manu-
facture.
Since grading rules for veneers of all kinds were last adopted by
the National Veneer & Panel Manufacturers' Association, condi-
tions have changed greatly. Good logs have become more diffi-
cult to obtain and the grades of a few years ago are impossible
now. For this reason. President Home has appointed a grading
rules committee to submit to this meeting such changes as may
be necessary in the rules for the inspection of veneer and ply-
wood. When the rules have been finally passed upon at this meet-
ing, they will be printed for general distribution and it is hoped
that every manufacturer w^ill be on hand to give the benefit of his
counsel and advice in making the new grading rules exactly w^hat
they should be.
There will be reports upon log conditions and conditions of the
industry generally from men located in each of the different sec-
tions of the country.
There will be a report of the trade extension committee which
was appointed at the December meeting. This committee, and par-
ticularly Geo. O. Worland, who has had in charge the advertising
end of the committee's work, has done an immense amount of work
preparatory to an intensive trade extension campaign, and a de-
tailed report and recommendation will be made at the meeting.
Since the December meeting, the traffic committee of the asso-
ciation has determined that a complaint should be filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission to require the railroads to put
into effect the findings of the Interstate Commerce Commission in
old Docket No. 8131, which followed a most detailed investigation
of the rates and classifications upon lumber and lumber products.
If these findings can be made effective, it w^ill result in a very sub-
stantial saving to all veneer and plywood manufacturers and users.
The traffic committee will report the steps it has taken and the
result it hopes to accomplish.
On Tuesday evening there will be the usual association dinner.
The officers have not yet announced w^hether this dinner will be
held down tow^n or out at one of the country clubs near Chicago.
Every member of the Association is, of course, expected to be
represented and every manufacturer of veneer and plywood
whether a member of the Association or not will be most welcome.

Minority Stockholders Sue
Suit has been filed in the Ohio Supreme Court at Columbus by
Laura A. Krell and Albert Krell and others representing minority
stockholders in the Krell Piano Company, seeking to set aside the
sale of the assets of the Krell Piano Company by Lawrence Max-
well, who sold the assets of the company to the Werner Industries
C-ompany of which he was the principal owner. Mr. Maxwell
also was the owner of the majority of the stock in the Krell Piano
Company and it is alleged in the petition that he took advantage of
the plaintiffs in negotiating the sale, and refused to allow the
holders of common stock to vote on the question of the sale.
Attorney Maxwell, against whom Laura Krell filed her suit in the
Cincinnati Superior Court, won in that court and in the Court of
Appeals which held there was no fraud in Mr. Maxwell's actions and
that the stock for which the Krell Company stock w^as exchanged
was worth par at the time and was equal in value to that of the
Krell stock.
Indianapolis Furniture Factories
Recent figures show seventeen furniture factories in Indianapolis
manufacturing sufficient varieties to completely furnish a home.
The factories this year will have an annual retail value of $19,000,-
000. Fourteen woodworking plants, two mattress factories and
one spring company compose the industry here. Hoosier oak
is used in a large part of the products, as is also w^alnut and
mahogany. Furniture for the sun parlor, the living room, dining
room and period products, and in addition over-stuffed furniture
and other varieties compose the line. Wood furniture for the
office, bank and school rooms are manufactured, the figures show.
One hundred trains of thirty-five cars each will be required to
haul the Indianapolis made furniture products to the retail markets.
More than 3,000 men and women are employed in the factories.
Meetings of Table and Bench Makers Scheduled
Programs for the thirteenth mass conference of the National
Association of Piano Bench and Stool Manufacturers' association
and of the sixth mass meeting of the Association of Living Room
Table Manufacturers have been sent out to the members by M.
Wulpi, commissioner. The former organization will meet at the
Hotel Clifton, Niagara, Canada, June 9 and 10, and the living room
table makers will assemble in Chicago at the Auditorium Hotel,
June 14.
The meetings have been called for the purpose of taking stock
of present conditions in the respective industries, determining poli-
cies, discussing costs and receiving reports of various kinds from
committees and technical experts. At the piano bench and stool
manufacturers' meeting, E. B. Ash, chairman of the Valuation
Commission, will make a report, showing present costs and condi-
tions with recommendations. Delegate C. G. Booth will report
on the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
Among the reports that will be made to the living room table
manufacturers are the following:
Report and recommendations from the valuation commission
by George B. Wilson, chairman.
Condition in furniture rates and classification, by C. S. Bather
of Furniture Traffic Association.
Expert observation on production and costs in a living room

should be stored in a cool dry place as excessive moisture and
high temperatures cause deterioration.
Strength and Water-Resistance
Casein glues when properly mixed and applied have good
strength and water-resistant properties. These qualities are well
demonstrated by the tests imposed on plywood manufacture for
use in airplanes. To be accepted, samples were required to show
no separation of the plies after boiling in water for eight hours
or soaking in cold water for ten days. For shearing strength
in plywood the requirements were at least I 50 pounds per square
inch, but most of the plywood tested at the Forest Products
Laboratory showed values considerably higher than this minimum
requirement. Tested wet after several days soaking casein glues
commonly have from 20 to 40 per cent of their dry plywood shear
strength. If, however, the glue is redried after being soaked the
original strength of the glue is very largely recovered.
As a joint glue casein is as strong as the wood of our common
species. Tested on blocks of maple with the grain running in
the same direction, shearing strengths are commonly obtained
ranging from 2,000 to 2,500 pounds per square inch with a large
percentage of failures in the wood. The progress which is being
made in developing new formulas and improving the methods of
manufacture is constantly increasing the strength and water resis-
tance which can reasonably be demanded of casein glue.

New Italian Process for Fabricating Bent- Wood
Furniture
An approved system of manufacturing bent-wood products pro-
duced by an inventor in Naples is reported by Consul Byington, of
that city. The system is said to be used extensively in Czecho-
slovakia, and is now in use by a firnn in Naples which w^as engaged
during the war in manufacturing wood parts for airplanes and is
now making bent-wood products of various sorts. It is claimed
that by this process 25 pieces can be handled at one time and
delivered fully dried and ready for use in final form in two hours.
Retired Furniture Man Dies
Word has been received of the death of Julius Joseph, age

established a manufacturing furniture company, of which he was
Wilke Joins Williamson Veneer -
The Williamson Veneer Company, Baltimore, Md., announces
an addition to its selling force which will undoubtedly be interest-
ing to the trade. H. F. Wilke of Chicago was for many years
associated in a selling capacity for George W. Stoneman & Co.,
of Chicago. One of the most valued lines of veneers handled by
the Stoneman company was that of the Williamson V^eneer Com-
pany, with which stock Mr. Wilke was personally very closely
associated. With the establishment of direct sales offices six or
eight months ago, the Williamson product is now being marketed
in the middlewestern territory through its Chicago office, 28 East
Jackson boulevard. Thus in associating himself with the William-
son company, which move has just been announced, Mr. Wilke
really returns to his old love and places himself in position to
capitalize on his long experience in handling the Williamson
product.
Mr. Wilke will be one of the middlewestern representatives, be-
ing associated in this territory with R. J. Cavanaugh and C. S.
Connor.

,\ conference bringing together representatives of many of the vaiious
interests concerned with forestry problems will be held at Chicago. June
i;{ and 14, by the National Forestry Policy Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.
In making this fact public the committee announced that it would seek
t«) obtain every viewi>oinl ln'fore proceeding to formulate a national for-
estry policy.
"The object of the committee," said D, L. fioodwillie of 6.51 Otis Buihl-
ing. Chicago, the chairman, "is to study carefully the several economic
phases that have to do or should have to do with the promotion of for-
estry. Wc have begun under ten headings with sub-committees for each
grou|i. The sulijects undi'r consideration by the groups are : government
regulation, private holdings, indiviilual versus public rights, fire protection
anil expenditures, acquisition of laud, national forestry survey, taxation,
utilization of wood and forestry conservation, reforestation, national
foresls.
"On completion of its work the committee will make a report to the
chamber's board of directors. If the recommendations of the committee
are considered by the board to be of sutficient national importance the
board can order them sent to a referndum vote of the chamber's member-
ship. The results of referenda are laid before Congress and the proper
government departments as expressing the views of the chamber.
"This district not only has the liulk of the remaining timber in tiie
T'nited States, but the trees are so large and the stands so dense that
logging conditii ns are vastly different from those of other sections. In
justice to the operators of this region as well as to the lumber users of
the rest of the country the coiiimiltee feels that it should make a study
on the ground."

campaign for 2,50 new members. Not only local lumbermen will be
solicited, but every effort will be made to secure non-resident members
and in this way the entire ctuintr.i- will be canvassed by S. F. D. Meffley,
the secretary-manager.
The local prospect will be angled for according to a unique system
worked out l)y Mr. Meffle.v. Thirty of the presiuit members have been
divided into six divisions f*>r the puriioses of the plan. The members of
each division. beginnin,g with No. 1, will solicit like divisions of prospects
by mail. If the first letter fails to land the prosiiect. he will be srdicited

persuasive powers on him. But it is not anticipated that any prospect
will be able to hold out long enough to hear from every division. The

i Ijirdw iiiid hiiulicr inltrt-stj; of (Movchind wlio enter pni-ticuliulv to tilt
l)iiildin}< indiKstry nro awnitinj; oaiioiiy the decision of the arl)itration
committed, a srovip ooniposod of individuals not idcntifiod wifM the Ijiiild-
in;.; trades, a decision which is expected to s^'ttle to the satisfaction of
employer and employe alike the differences in connection with the late
strike of 25.000 Iinildiu^ trades operatives. Vpon this decision, it is
believed, will depend whether huildins; activities for 1921 will go ahead
with any dej!;ree of seasonable activity.
It was throuyb the efforts of this committee that a tnn-e was arrived at
between buildin*; trades employers and union operatives, so that the strike
was called off after one month's holdlnj? up of building oiM-ratious. All
operatives agreed to l>e back at work on June <>, and with employers, ajirtvd
to abide by the decision of the committee in regard to working conditions
and wages. The numth's" tieup of the construction industry here resultnd
in suspension of operations on $40,000,000 work, and lost weekly to thi'
employes !ftl, 500.000 wages.
The committee that will decide how operatives are to work and what
wages they are to receive includes pastors, financiers, lawyers and inde-
pendent association officials.
The strike was the result of an jitli-mpt of eontraijors tn cut w;iy:fs an
average of 20 per cent.
Kegardless of the outconn- nf ltn' decision of the eomuiitttM', it is pre-
dicted by Chamlier of Commerce otticials that legal action will he taken
against employers and employes alike on grounds that they are in restraint
of trade in refusing to adopt the open shop method of operation. Several
efforts were made during the strike to have the American Plan Association
principles adopted liy the Imilding industry, but without success.
BALTIMORE
The sale by tlu' United States (iovernnient of the oarge line operated
by It between Italtiniore and New Bern, N. C. to Bardwell & Cassidy, of the
Canal and Transportation Company of New York, announcement of which
transaction was ntaile Uy the Secretarv of War on .Tune 2. Is of much
importance to the lumber trade of Baltimore. Protests ai^ainst the sov-
erninental operatifui of the Mm' in competition with private enterprise had
heen numerous an<l emphatic, and it was in response to f'ese protests that
the department dis|X)sed of the line. Large quantities of lumber have been
shipped over the route since it was established. ,Tust how the sale will
affect the Iund>er trade remains to l>e seen,
.lohn L. Alcock of .Tohn L. Alcock & Company is bi>:hl>' iiratilied over the
outcome of a sint which his tirm had brought against the West Virginia
Air Craft Company of Wheeling, to enforce payment for four cars of
spruce supplied by the Baltimore concern during the war on requisition
from the Government. The West Virginia corporation had refu.sed payment
on the grotind that the Inmlier did not come up to speciflcati<nis or reciuire-
nients. In fact, according to the contention set up by the company, not
less than 70 per cent of the spruce was so bad that nothing could Ix^ done
with it. When the court at Wheeling suggested that some of the lumber
l>e produceil in order to settle the (lucstion of quality, the officers of the
company stated that it had lH"en burned. This brought from the .judge
some ironical reference to the destruction of evidence, which, he said, left
no course iiossible other than to bring in a verdict for Alcock & Company
for the full amount of the claim with interest, which was done. The sum
involved was ?!),0!)1.
The Baltimore Lumlx>r Company plaus the erection of a four-stiiry null

An applicallou to Ihe Ceutral Kreiglit Association for a h«'ariug on

nuide by William Lockwood. manager of the Central Lumber Traffic Bureau
in Cineinnati, against the present tariffs, which put walnut and cherry logs
under a different classifiratioii anil impose a higher-rate on tliem than
applies to other native woods. Mr. Lockwood sai<l that there was no just
basis for the placing of walnut and cherry on a higher rating than other
kinds of woods, and said that this was evidenced by the fact that lumber
of all kinds carries the same rate.

The Valley Log I>oading Company reports that its entire log loading
<-quipnient on the Vazoo & .Misslsssippi Valley lines of the 1. ('. .system
is idh' and will remain so tliroughont the month uf June. J. W. Dickson,
president of the company, states that this suspension of loading is due
primarily to the fact that there are no logs to load. This c'ondition is
attrihutahle to the fact that there has heen practic'aily ccunplidc stoppage
of logging opc^nitions throughout the Mlssissipid Valley territory during
the past seven or eight monlhs. As a matter of fact, the company has
heen loading logs which were prepared for shipment late last summer or
fall and has ahont completed this wcu'k. Mr. Dickson anticipates that
there will he a fair amount of tiinher cut during the month of June, and
that the company will be able' to resume operations of at least part of its
equipment in .Tuly. Broadly speaking, there is very little disposition on
the part of owners of hardw 1 timber land to cut their logs for conver-
sion into lumber under the present rather un.satisfactory relationship as
between supply and demand. This closing do\vn of the Valley Ix)g Load-
ing Comiiany offers the liest contirmation yet available of the oft repeated
claim that logging operations have heen at a virtual standstill.

The Hardwood Market
CHICAGO
While buyers appear to he mure intcrestt-d in >rock lists than for several
weeks there has been no noticeable improvement in demand within the
last fifteen days, the tie-up of buildings having a depressing effect on
buying liy all hardwood fabricating inrlustries. Furniture makers and
citlicrs are afraid to put on much speed and conseijueutly lumber buying
while building is slack. However, the i'hicago furniture factories recently
increased their operating schedule to four days a week. Flooring manu-
facturers continue to make substantial purchases. Because of the elinnna-
tion of competition of southern wooils by exorbitant freight rates, demand
for northern hardwoods of the common grades has increased in the imple-
menl industries in this territory.
BUFFALO
Not much activity is shown in the hardwood trade and few consumers
.ire interested at this time. When they are going to buy in larger quantity
is regarded as quite uncertain, but the general opinion is that business will
open up in fair .shape this fall. Much of the buying at present is in small
(luantities, based on the feeling of caution which is common in industrial
circles. It is believed by many that freight rates will come down before
long and that for this reason it will pay to bold off.
While it takes nerve to buy much lunil)er under the present unsettled
conditions, some wholesalers are deciding that now is a good time to do
so. and they are taking advantage of the opportunities afforded. Some
millmen need the money so badly that they are willing to accept offers
which show little or no margin of profit, and of course when business
improves and hardwoods are in pretty fair demanil they will shove up their
prices. Some chances offered nowadays are regarded as worth taking, even
with the possibility that freight rates may go down l)efore nmny mouths.
Hardwood prices in this market show much unsettlement. Dealers say
that there is too much stock available in most kinds of hardwoods and
they do not look for much price improvement or increase in business before
Ibis fall. Oak, gum and chestnut in firsts and seconds are said to have gone
higher in the past month. Walnut prices have declined considerably in the
past few weeks. Cypress is one of the strongest wockIs in the list. Floor-
ing in both oak and maple is reported firmer.

little fellow uei-ded money— evi.n a few of the middle-sizi'd dealers w.^rc^

to take orders at almost any price. The larjje dealers remained firm, know-
ing that prices would advance and when <|uotations were asked, the lart;e
dealer was from *10 to $CiU over the price-cutter. The result was that
the ptirchaser did an enormous armnint of "shoppinK" before he placed his
order. This price war had a very detrimental effect on the market. The

market. Tlnrty days has seen low srade Hoorln;; slilTiMi. IukIi jzradi's more
staple and the senoral tone of the market in a vastly l>etter position.
The largest purchasers of hardwood, such as the Victor Talking Machine
t'ompany. Baldwin's, and several furniture factories in this district, are
watching the market with cat like eyes. .\11 need enormous supjilies of
hardwoods and all are wondering wdietber this Is the right time to buy.
The dealers likewise are watching and their confidence in the upward trend
of the market is exeniplifieil in their ri'ticeiice. The big felhiw knows that
the market will go up and he can afford to wait.
Probably the largest dealer in this territory maintains that one must
ci>nsider conditions as improved, that the turn has been made in the right
direction, but he predicts no boom or no business of more than han<l-to-
mouth basis during the summer. .\n interesting sidelight on the market
is found in the correspondence of the hardwood dealer. This week has
brought letters friun the mine operators asking quotations on lots from
200 to 300 cars of mixed grades. 'I'his is the first time quotations of this
size have been asked since the height of war days. Whether the inquiries
presage (»rders remains to l)e si'en. In addition, a number of English firms
have been writing to Philadelphia dealers for prices. These letters state
that business will be forthcondng provided financial arrangements may be
made. The low freight rates are attracting the foreigner, but only the
largest dealers are consideritig the question as it is necessary to giv*^
extended credit.
PITTSBURGH
The strike of the building trades in Allegheny County is the one big news
item in the lundjer business trnlay. This started June 1 and Is likely to
continue for some time. Neither side shows any disposition to give in and
unle-ss something uniooked for occurs at the conference this morning, the
contractors are pretty sure to aiiopt an "open shop" policy and figlit it
out to a finish. Thirty-five planing mills have already resumed operations
on this basis with about 300 men employed so that the retail lumber yards
are not so badly crippled except for orders. Building is practically at a
standstill here and building permits are falling off accordingly. Yard
trade, outside the city where towns are not affected by strikes, is somewhat
better. Business in coal mine stocks has practically stopped. Railroad
buying is confined mostly to bridge timliers. ties and poles. Industrial
buying is very slow. Even automobile trade, which showed a little improve-
ment last month, has slumped again. Nobody is buying lumber except for
current needs and orders are very badly broken.
CLEVELAND
Immediate improvement in the hardwood market situation here following
the cessation of hostilities between eniplo.ver and employe In the building
trades, and which was expocte<l by not a few in the trade, has been signifi-
cant by its absence sinf e hostilities came to an end on .Tune 1. In fact in
the opinion of some leaders in trade there has been even less demand for
hardwood materials since the first of the month than there was even during
May wlien the strike was in full swing. OI>servers have pointed out that
the building public is still too wary to be influenced by the apparently
peaceful atmosphere in the building trades, and will be content tor the
time being to play a waiting game. Hence few new orders and equally
few inciuiries for materials for private work. On the other hand the
quietus put upon tlie strike, and the tact that public work started imme-
diately upon an agreement on the part of operatives to return to work,
has brought forth more in(|uiry. and more demand, for public work use.
and in this connection a considerable amount of maple flooring has been
absorbed for schord work, as well as some interior finish, it being the aim.
apparently, of authorities to rush school work to completion Iwfore the
fall term starts. Aside from this there is little daylight ahead tor the
hardwood distributor, for even the manufacturing interests have failed to
respond, as was expected at this time. Orders from automobile manufac-
turers and other industrial factors using quantities of hardwoods are still
of the hand-to-mouth character, reflecting in a way the slower outlet for

inont in demand and In in(iuir.v continues to show itself each week. To be
sure, this improvement is unevenly distriltute<l as amon^ th<' wholesalers
and mills and as anionK the different t.vpes of consumers. .Mso, as accumu-
lation still scriousi.v persists among the lower Kfades, improvement in
trade is less noted there than in the firsts and seconds grades. It is in
the latter grades that the market toda.v shows an imreased firmness of
t(tnc. In fact, in firsts and seconds, there have been some advances on
prices here, raufing from $.'> to $10. in birch items, in plain white oak and
cm poplar. In some other woikIs there have been reductions.
Improvement in demand is still noted chiefl.v with the furniture makers
and the hardwood .vards. Piano people have come into the market for a
little, luit not for much. I'hair makers still show no disposition to liu.v.

BALTIMORE
Conditions in the hardwood trade, while not materially changed, show
a fairly steady drift tow-ard lietterment. with the demand more active and
the range of prices somewhat higher. More or less irregularity in the
iliiolations continues to prevail, of course. Iiut some jirogress in the direc-
tion of steadying influences is also to be observed, and there is that in
the trade which .justifies a more encouraging attitude. The users of hard-
woods, among them the woodworking establishments, such as furniture
factories and the like, find their requirements Increased, the reduction in
tlie assortments having been allowed to proceed to a point where material
additions became necessary. This, together with the demonstrations that
stocks of hardwood^ are not of large proportions, served to impart strength
to the list and placed the producers in a position where they could stiffen
up some of the weak spots and put the average of the prices given a little
higher. The opinion apiiears to be general that further revisicms down-
ward are not to Ije expectcil. and that it is quite safe for buyers to place
tlieir orders without any aiiprehension that the market will sag and leave
tliem with stocks acquiriMl at excessive low levels on their hands. Builders
are calling for hardwoods in some quantities, construction work having
gone forward on a ilecidedly wider scale than was the case not so long ago.
Many of the ))lants are still shut down or run on a greatly reduced
schedule, so that the distribution easily keeps pace with the production
JUKI probabl.v exceeds it. The one division of the trade that has made no
i^ains whatever is tliat of the exports.
COLUMBUS
Tlic hardwood traile is showing some increases holh in the number of
iiKpiiries received and In orders placed. Both retailers and factories are
showing a tendency to enter the market, and as a result there has been
a pretty fair run of Im.siue.ss. While orders are still far from being normal,
there is a good increase over the records of earlier in the year, and it is
believed that the wiu'st id' the slump is over.
.\niong the factories furniture concerns are the lii^st customers. Some
buying from vehicle and implement concerns is also repm-ted, while liox
fac'torics are absorbing low gracb' poplar, oak and basswood. Factories are
apparently coming into the market lietter and ndning conc'erns are now
appi'aring with orders. K:iilidacls are still lioldin;: off because of the finan-
cial situation.
Retail stocks are fairly good, but in certain sections they are broken.
Dealers are buying to replace hrokc^n stocks. Some of the dealers are
buying for the future to a certain extent, but this is not heavy. Shipments
are condng out promptly all along the line and ccdiections show an improve-
ment.
I'rices are fairly steady at previcuis li>vels. Some of the extreme low
prices are dis;i|i|iearing. although there is still some spread in quotations.
There is a growing scarc-ity in the lietter grade's, and especially of oak and
poiilar. Hardwood flooring is probably the strongest pidnt at present.
The lumber department of the Central West Coal & Lumber Company
announces that after .Inly 1 it will be operating a large mill at .lackson.
Ala., owned by the Zimmerman 'Manufac-tnring Company. The product will
lie sold through the Columlnis office.
K. M. Stark, vice-president and treasurer of xhi- .\merican Column &
Lumber Company, reports little change in the hardwood trade during the
past fortnight. Inquiries from both retailer and factories are coming in
fairly well and orders are also licdng bookcvl. The orders are not large
but Ihey are well distributed, indicating a better feeling in hardwood cir-
cles. Prices are about the same, although some additional strength Is
apparent in the upper grades, due to increasing scarcity of stocks.

Whili- the voUiiiiP of busiiU'ss during the past two wci-ks raiiif rruiii many
sources, it was uot largp. Upper grailes still feature the market. The
ttoorinj; business is splendid, which is largely due to the itiereasert activity
in the eonstnietiou of apartment and dwelling houses. Sales of representa-
tive size were made during the past ten days of No. 1 plain oak and No. 1
common poplar. The planing mill demand has fallen off to some extent, while
furniture and piano ooncertis have adopted the hand-to-mouth buying
slogan. Lumbermen -are of the opinion that business will remain in its
present status until after the July furniture exhii)its. Quotations show
rery little variation over previous conditions. The railroads at this time
are not eousidereU good customers and are tuiying just what they need.
INDIANAPOLIS
Little change can be seen in the liardwood situation in Indianapolis and
the central Indiana district with the exception that following the settle
ment of differences betwj^eu the contractors and the unions with the sult-
sequent resumption of construction work at lower wage flgures. the demand
upon the retailers has taken a sudden jump. It appears that much pro-
posed construction that was being held up awaiting a settlement is being
refigured and on some of this work contracts have already been awarded
and work started. The situation from the retail point of view is the
brightest it has been this year. The industrials are gradually increasing
production, and this increase is particularly noticeable in the box making
industry here. The general resumption of capacity production by these
institutions leads other woodworking industries to the belief that some of
the lines of industry first hit by the readjustment process are gradually
coming out of it. Automobile body plants here are working on a curtailcil
production, but they are gradually increasing production and eniployins;
more men. During the past week there has been a slight decrease in tlu'
demand for bodies as compared with the past month, but the manufac
turers believe this condition is the result of a general price revision on the
part of the automobile manufacturers. The talking machine cabinet
makers are in fair shape, but business with them is not as active as a
normal season, but the furniture nuinufacturers say iniiuiries are far more
active than they were a monlh ago and more orders are being placed.
EVANSVILLE
The hardwooil hiinber manufacturers in lOvansvllle and southern
ludiana report that their trade for May showed some little improvement
over the preceding numth and there were more inquiries. They believe
that trade in June will hold its own, but they are not looking for any big
change for the better in business. There is a feeding tlnit things are going
to get gradually better, and tliat the backbone of the business depression
has been broken. It is pointeil iput that trade conditions in thi' east are
some better, and that those conditions will be communicated in \'mw to the
central west and south. The fact that cotton is not moving in the siuith
makes trade rather sluggish there. It is not believed there will he any
marked improvement in conditions in the south until cotton starts to
move. In Kentucky and Tennessee the farmers are better satlstied than
they were a few months ago, and while the prices received for their
tobacco were not satisfactory they are going ahead with their usual crops
this year Reports from many of the rural communities say that the
conditions are some better than they were thrc>e months ago. Collections
are holding their uwn. The local hardwood lumber manufacturers say
they are more cncouragiMl over the outlook than they have 1 n for several
months past. While they are not looking for a nisli in trade, they do
believe that business will mend a little eaih month and that in the course
«f time things will be something like normal again. Uox factories in
Evansville are being operated on fairly good time. Hardwood manufac-
turers report there is a better demand for quartered white oak and gum
than there has been in several months past. The retail lumber business
has improved a little during the past month or two, and sash and door

Till- lianhvood iiuiikct has Im-cu lairly active tiurinj; the past fortnight.
Thei-i' is (■oinplaiiit that orders havo not hcen coming in quite as freely
during the past few days, but this is to be expecte*! in view of the fact
Tiiat the smiiuier perio<l is at hand. The flooring nianufaeturers have been
hy far tlie heaviest buyers during the past several months, and indication*
:i)-e not lacking that they have pretty well secured their requiri'ineuts for
rhe immediate present. Building oi>erations are proceeding on a i)retty
large scale in the greater portion of the United States, but strikes anil
ntlier unfavorable developments are tending to check Imilding activities in
important centers. There is, therefore, a disposition to lofdc for onlj'
iiHHierate activity from the building trade during the Immediate future.
Kurnitui'e manufacturers are buying very little lundier. At the same
time there is a disposition on their part to anticipate larger sales at the
'xhibits. which are just ahea<l. Manufacturers of hardwood lumber believe
rh<-y will enjoy a better demanil from furniture manufacturers in thp near
luturi' than they have had at any time since early last year, ai:d they
are counting on this Imsiness to help tide them ovi'r the summer dullness.
Wholesale interests are taking fair quanlities of lumlu-r and there is also
a moderate miscellaneous demand. One yf the most disappointing features
III' ilir sitnalinu is tlie almost complete absence of demand from European
.-'.llli 4'S.
From a statistical standpoint the most striking development in the hard-
w<iod situation is the tendency of stocks to tlecrease. This does not mean
that shipments are so very heavy, but it does mean that >ihiiiments are
larger than the limited quantity of lumber being put on sticks. There has
been very little, if any. increase in hardwood production in the past two
weeks. Logging operations are at a virtual standstill and, so far as can
be learned, little activity in that direction seems foreshadowed at the
moment.
l-'rom a price standpoint the market is undergoing very little change.
There is quite pronounced firmness in firsts and seconds, while a better
tone is noted in the case of No. 1 common red gum and No. 1 common plain
oak. Absorption of the latter has been quite heavy during the past several
mouths and offerings are by no means large. Stocks of firsts and seconds
are the smallest ever known in proportion to the total amount of hard-
wood lumber available in the South, and the market thereon shows relative
rirmuess on this account.
LOUISVILLE
After ,luly 1 there may be an increase in the demand for hardwooils. I)ut
until inventory is completed, and until the question of possible lower
freight rates is settled, indications are not strong for any material improve-
ment in the demand for hardwoods, acconling to some of the local lumber-
men. There Is some little one car business coming in, principally fill in
stocks from furniture manufacturers, and a fair demand from producers of
beveled poplar siding, hardwood flooring, etc. Jobbers are not taking any
large amount of stock. American black walnut has l)een in very fair
denumd, due to the increased use of walnut furniture. Some little demand
is also being experienced for four to six quarter common and firsts and
seconds in both plain and quartered oak, hut the top grades are a little
scarce and production is at a very low ebb. Chair manufacturers have
been taking a little beech. Mahogany as a whole is quiet The veneer
trade is dull, and panel manufacturers report pocu' business, cores being
especially dull just now. Some coucerus neeiling liusinesjj, badly to meet
obligations have been cutting prices by $10 a thousand, but the largt'r con-
cerns are holding firmly, believing that with snuUI production stocks will be
scarce and prices better after July 1.

ST. LOUIS
Considerable improvement has been noted in the hardwood trade during
the past two weeks. Demand from consuming Industrials is gradually
increasing. The principal buying, however, has been from fl^ioring manu-
facturers and makers of nullwork, whose business has been increased by
the increase in building. The tendency of prices of high grade hardwooils
is decidedly upwjwd, lower grades cfuitinuing weak and unsteady.
.\bout GO per cent of the furniture factories are active, this l)ein;.; ;i
gain of 10 per cent over the montli before.
While I>uilding has increased a little it is still far behind. It is possible
that the inquiry conducted recently into building costs may cause dealers
in other commodities besides lumber to reduce their prices, thus stimulat-
ing building.
MILWAUKEE
Industrial demand for hardwoods rontiiiui's to show slow but steady
advancement, although perhaps the biggest immediate outlet for hard-
wood stocks is to accommodate a fairly healthy constructive movement
throughout the United States. In comparison with a year ago, the amount
of new construction undertaken in the city of Milwaukee Is about 20 per
cent in excess of last year. The work is principally in the nature of
dwelling places, including several large apartment buildings which furnish
a moderately large aggregate requirement of hardwoods of various kinds.
Industrial construction is of small volume, since the enormous increase
in manufacturing capacity provided in the last fi>ur years due to wartime
needs has given many manufacturers more than enough capacity to handle
all present requirements.
The largest bank in Milwaukee, in its jmuithly review of local conditbms,
says that .sales of furulture manufacturers are a little better than last
month, but much under the same month of 1020. "This is one of the
lines of industry in which retail channels have not been cleared of large
stocks," the report says. •■Nornnilly manufacturers of furniture should
be taking sizable orders for futures at this time of the year. As it is. for-
ward business is much b(dow that of last year. .\ line woodworking plant
reports five and one-balf nionibs' wcu'k on its I ks and it is working 90
per cent."
In the North, sawmill operations nunain aliout stationary, the closing
of some mills for the season being compensated for by the reopening of
others or enlargement of production. On the whole, however, output is
below that of a year ago. The finer grades of hardwood are moving
readily, but otlier qualities are stagnant, with the result that the accumu-
lation of stocks of low grade nuiterial remains very heavy and has the
eflfect of limiting current production until these stocks have lieen lirougbl
to a minimum.
BEAUMONT
First and seconds grade of bardwooil is looking up, but this condition
seems to have no effect on lower grades, which continue to drag. Oak
lumber Is in good demand, while oak timbers are a drug on the market.
Red gum is second only to oak in demand, while even the upper grades of
sap gum are in poor denumd.
The Texas consuming trade is liuying very sparingly and only in suffi-
cient quantities to kcp their plants in operation. There is a poor deijiaiid
for box material. The hanlwooil mills closed down during the general
depression are still down and milluien seem to have adjusted their affairs
to a point where they can keep their plants closed indefinitely. It is
apparent that they will not be started again, except when there is a much
heavier demand for the output.

The Hoosier rips anything up to 6 inches thick and 17 inches wide.
It feeds 35. 75, 100 or ISO feet a minute.

T TSERS of Oak are becoming more discriniiiiating in their selections of stock. There is a widening
^ realization that the claim that "Oak is Oak." is not a true statement. Literally it may be, but prac-
tically and essentially it is false.
For a long time many users have known that our Oak is better and is worth more, grade for grade,
than that offered by others. But few have known the reasons why our Oak is the superior commodity it is.
To detail all the' reasons would be to tell a story too long for this space — but that interesting story will
be adequately told.
The superiority is based in scientific considerations.
The climate and the elevations of the area in which the trees grow are the basic controlling features.
In low, swampy areas, in zones of long continued hot weather, the growth of the tree is such that a
large part of the annual increase consists of cells with heavy thick walls, and the wood is therefore hard
and flinty.
In areas that are reasonably elevated, and where the cold of the winter alternates with the milder
temperatures of spring and summer in proper ratio, the growth is slower and the perfection of texture
in hardwood growths is found.
Our hardwood stumpage is located in the renowned .Appalachian .Area, which is unsurpassed in respect
to the texture and quality of its lumber products.
Nature has thus given us a product, which with our scientific manufacture, and our efficient service,
is the "last word" in hardwood perfection.

Ko more important service can tic rendered business in gen-
eral than to help secure a fair reduction of freight rates.
While the railroads have not yet announced their position,
it is intimated in well informed circles that their view is:
That the railroads cannot afford to decrease their revenue.
That they must be guaranteed that the decrease m rates
will assure larger tonnage. ,, , . . <
That freight charges arc hut a small part, in any event, oi
total cost of anything— of the completed house, for example.
Some thought should convince everyone:
That decrease in rates will enable the railroads to earn a
greater total of revenue than can be had from the present
I>roilihitive rates. . ,j t_ . ..■ t i n
That the logic of a reduction vnould be to stimulate all
activity and consequently to progressively increase the ton-
nage to be carried.
That the contention that tlie element of freight is so com-
paratively small in the total is not sound. The same claim
could be made in respect to every ingredient going into a
building.
Lumber represents only about S'/i of the cost of a repre-
sentative building. No one item (except labor) standing alone
represents a large percentage of the total.
The attitude of the railroads, if taken by all, would mean
that no reductions would be made; and this reduces the posi-
tion to an absurdity.
Lumber is as low as it should be; to this all agree.
Let the railroads reduce rates.
Let all others who have not reduced, do so at once — and
Let business activity get under way with full momentum.

Review and Outlook

General Market Conditions
THE REC'OED DURIXG THE I'AST TWO WEEKS bears out the
predictions made at intervals during the current depression period
indicating that the progress towards improved business would be
inconsistent in its daily program though maintaining in general a
fairly consistent course upwards. With a market balance in so deli-
cate a position the trade is naturally sensitive to minor influences
which under more normal tiuies would escape unnoticed. During
the present groping for improvement all tendencies are observed
*ven though in themselves they may be of distinctly minor importance.
Thus it has followed during the past three weelcs that a period of
•even greater slackness has prevailed. Insofar as this applies directly
to the lumber business it may be assumed that it has resulted from a
variety of local and minor influences which banded together have
assumed far more effective proportions than could possibi}' result with
a more favorable volume of business moving.
Among such influences are the ever present inactivity of railroad
buying. Linked with it today, though, is the result of efforts in
various large sections to bring labor charges down to a more rea-
sonable basis. Resulting strikes have completely tied up various
large consuming markets. The movement of hardwood lumber is
invariably regulated by the movement of furniture to the retail stores.
It is true that retailers in the main have allowed their stocks to be-
come very much broken in spite of a fairly consistent movement into
consumers' hands. EetaUers' experience with furniture prices has
not been such as to inspire any substantial measure of buying. In
approaching the July markets the furniture manufacturing trade is
apparently cognizant of the general necessity for eliminating all infla-
tion of prices and figuring sales marks on the ba.sis of present cost
without regard to former selling prices. If the idea can be sold to
the retailers that these figures represent rock bottom markets, they
in turn are apparently in position to place a fair volume of business.
It is impossible, though, at this date to make even an intelligent
guess at the jirobable results from the July markets, an^ in the
meantime until this factor is established, it is not likely any sub-
stantial volume of business will be placed by the furniture manu-
facturers.
Any honest analysis of conditions prevailing during the past few
weeks must state that the dominant note is far from satisfactory,
and that depression has been augmented rather than lessened. At
the same time the old reliable principals of supply and demand
•still govern. The most pronounced feature of any news columns as
dealing with the forest products industries at present is the consistent
report of shut-ilown of operations in the manufacture of hardwood lum-
ber and veneers and the almost total absence of activity in log pro-
duction. In other words, not only have the saws shut down but the
organizations normally engaged in producing raw material have also
ceased. At present about the only real activity Ls found in north-
ern operations where, due to the winter sawing custom, a fair sujiply
of logs is still on hand requiring to be cut. Thus production can fairly
he a.ssumed to have kept approximate pace with volume of con-
sumption.
It seems that it is growing more and more difficult to analyze
the future. This difficulty arises primarily from the inconsistencies
of evidence. At the same time that distress offerings of many items
of hardwood stocks are being forced onto the market, one finds by care-
ful analysis of stock sheets and other forms sadly broken supplies
wliich it will be impossible to replenish for a long time in the future.
One also finds reports of almost total absence of building activity in
some sections, at the same time other large sections show record-
breaking building statistics.
Boiled down to the ultimate analysis there is little use in trying to
gain encouragement or of being influenced in the opposite direc-
tion by developments from week to week. The condition in which
we find ourselves is too basic to be reckoned on shortsight calculations
as it essentially involves buying power which in turn reflects earnings.
It is true that manufacturers selling during the recent boom times
at inflated prices realized that the turn must eventually come but it
is doubtful if anyone foresaw the terrific reaction which has since
taken placa in the public mind. The term ' ' buyer 's strike ' ' was
created by propaganda but it fitly describes the course of events
since the balloon burst. Since then the determination not to buy
has become a vertiable state of mind with the people at large. This
result reflects with especial clarity the tendencies of our poulation.
Democracy as exemjdified in the various departments of the govern-
ment in the country has been largely ridiculed as being anything but
representative, because our people arc prone to accept in more
or less facetious mood the violations of office indulged in by many of
the men intrusted with the duties of government. This apparently
humorous attitude continues until the strain is too great when the
whole regime is completely upset. The buyer 's strike reflects the same
condition. The people were too busy making money to figure care-
fully on how they spent it, until it finally became apparent that the
average man could not make quite enough to keep up with his neces-
sary expenditures. So today even those who have money are still
more or less influenced by the habit of not buying, although realiza-

tion that some basic commodities are down about to normal produc-
tion costs is bringing about a gradual stimulation. There is still a
lot of money in this country and it will gradually be drawn in in-
creasing volume back into trade as the people who control it become
fuUy convinced that sales prices again reflect lioncst values.
Great encouragement may be derived from the apparent tendency in
various ma.ior branches of wood-using industries to forget former
inflation and regulate current offerings on the basis of actual inventory
value. In other words, stimulation in cost and selling prices tending
to create a greater measure of confidence in future markets is gradu-
ally being wrought from the caos of figures that has prevailed during
the past "eighteen months. The test will come at the July furniture
shows where as stated the manufacturers will come together with thb
determination that standardization in prices will govern. The retailor
will thus be enabled to determine his purchasing requirements and
as his goods are badly broken the probability is that he may place
considerable business at that time.
On the Knees of the Gods
WISE COUNSEL WAS UTTERED on both sides of the sales code
question at the National Hardwood Lumber Association con-
vention in PhUadelphia, June 10, but after all was said and done
the decision was made in the interest of progress. However, the
progrcssiveness of the decision was tempered with the conservatism
of the opponents of the code idea, which was indeed a good thing.
A hardwood sales code is a very pronounced departure from prece-
dent; it means adventuring into an uncharted sea. Meaning this, It
is well that the matter is not to be handled hastily, but that it is
to receive prolonged and careful consideration. Hardwood Eecord
must commend the conservatives of the association for their fear-
fulness of new things while praising the advocates of the code for
their inspiration. The responsibility of the National Hardwood
Lumber Association is very great; it has a dignity and an authority
tu sustain. What it gets behind it will stand behind and push
through. Therefore, it must be most circumspect about what it
gets behind. '
During the discussion of the question of whether there should
be a code, J. H. Maassen of Memphis projected a meaty thought
into the debate — one that is worthy of no little rumination. He
said that a customer of the firm he represents complained about the
grades of a car of hardwood lumber. The car had been carefully
loaded under national rules at the point of origin by the firm's
inspector, but after the ' ' kick ' ' was made a National inspector was
put on. The official inspection developed some off grade stuff.
"The market was declining; the car was refused," to use the words
of Mr. Maassen. The case was put into the hands of an attorney.
The attorney said: "Maassen, I know the law on this is very
plain, but what is the custom of the trade?" "There's where he
had me — 'The custom of the trade,' " said Mr. Maassen. "That
is to say, if it is going up take the lumber; if it is going down
refuse it."
Now it is hardly necessary to say that that is a most deplorahle,
an insufferable custom. It ought to be made taboo somehow by
a sales code or otherwise. If a sales code will do it, that is one
powerful argument for a sales code.
There, no doubt, are other abuses in the trade that might be
eliminated, or at least outlawed, by the creation of a "constitution
of morals.' '
The question is by no means settled, of course. The committee
which President Taylor authorized to appoint to draft a code has
a hard and long job before it, which will require not only work and
brains, but inspiration. When they have finished the result of their
labor.s must run the gauntlet of the association's membership at the
1922 convention. This test may result in no code, or it may give
the industry an instrument which will result in imnieasuraijle good
to all concerned and always be a source of congratulation.
It is already a matter of congratulation that the code was
debated with statesman-like dispassion; that the debaters main-
tained an attitude of true sportsmanship throughout and every one
was willing to be satisfied with the result of the duly registered
vote.
A Dash of Vanity, Please
ACCEPTING THE ELECTION to a second term as president of
the National Hardwood Lumber Association Horace F. Taylor
of Buffalo made a few remarks concerning the hardwood lumber
business that can not easily be over-emphasized. "There is one
fault with the lumbermen," said Mr. Taylor. "We don't rate high
enougli the industry in which we are engaged. We don't shout
enough for it. We don't publish our rights enough. We are taking
the bad end of the stick all the while. You can hardly pick up a
d.aily newspaper that you don't see charges that the Lumberman is
a robber, from the tree to the finished product, all along the line.
There is no business that can equal the lumber business. Think of
the horizon that you have got in the lumber business, both economic
and social. ' '
It is true, the lumberman is modest, but his humilit}- is a virtue
as well as a fault. It will do him good to occasionally consider
that there is much in the fact of being a lumberman in which one
should take pride. The business is dignified, virile and absolutely
indispensable. The lumberman is not a parasite. He earns his keep
in this paradise of worms and it might have a salutary effect on
some of the other worms if the lumberman should every now and
then rear up on his hind feelers and tell 'em about it. There is
many an ass who brays at the lumbermen who is doing less for the
development of these United States than any one of them, who
works hard and intelligently taking timber out of the forests and
converting it into boards. There are a great many politicians and
such like that the country could spare with much less hurt to its
well being than it could the boards which the lumbermen produce.
Yes, the quiet spoken lumberman may not caress the public ear
with the silver-tongued clatter of the demagogue, nor delight the
eye with artistic haberdashery, but he hath his uses.

Forestry Legislation
*By George N. Ostrander
President of the Empire State Forest Products Association
Editor's Foreword:
Space would not permit the publicdtion of Mr. Oxtrntider's address
in the June 10 issue of IIakdwood Rkcord, along with the telegraphic
report of the sessions of the Natiotial Hardwood Lumber Assoeiation
in Philadelphia. However, the address is heing used at the first op-
portunity since then, iecawse it elaborates and explains the important
resolution on the National forestry policy whieh the convention
adopted. This resolution was written by Mr. Ostrander, who was prob-
ably the first member of the lumber industry to discover the lurking
menace to the industry i7i the Snell Bill as well as the Capper Sill.
The Copper Bill, with its very obvious intention to fasten Government
control and operation on the lumber industry, was condemned from
the first, but the Snell BUI has received strong and wide support in
the rank and file of the lumber industry. Mr. Ostrander first pointed
out the dangers in the Snell Bill nearly a year ago when lie addressed
the Empire State Forest Products Association on fhe subject of a
national forestry policy. In this address he voiced the opinions which
crystallised in the National Hardwood Lumber Association resolution.
Mr. President and Gentlemen:
It is an honor, which I greatly appreciate, to be invited to
address this meeting upon a subject of such intense, present interest
as forestry legislation. Forestry legislation is so intimately related
tn the property rights and economic practices of the lumber industry
that each proposal for such legislation should be closely scrutinized
and carefulh' anah'zed to ascertain whether such rights may be
invaded, and to guard against the enactment of unwise economic
plans. Tor two years, public attention has been focused upon this
subject through a campaign of the United States Forest Service to
establish a National Forest Policy. It is my purpose today to
present some observations on this campaign and the legislation which
it has proposed and to submit certain recommendations in relation
thereto.
The Chief Forester of the United States early in 1919 proposed
a program for the protection and beneficial utilization of our forest
resources, and for their renewal and continuance. The principles
of the proposed program were stated to be, fire protection, the ex-
tension of public forests, forest renewal, protection against insects
and disease, economic utilization, reform in taxation, a survey of
forest resources, land classification, forest loans, forest insurance,
and the mandatory regulation of the practice of forestry on private
timber lands, to assure fire protection and forest renewal. This
campaign proceeded with little respect, either for the property
rights or the economic practices of the lumber industry.
In publications of the Forest Service and in many addresses
made by the Chief Forester, uncontrolled lumbering practices were
condemned in reproachful terms, as against the public welfare and
in violation of the ordinary duties and obligations of citizenship,
and the general conduct of the lumber industry was frequently
asserted to be reckless, extravagant and destructive.
The commercial timber tract, it was alleged, had usually been
purchased and held with a view of exploiting the timber and not
with a view of a permanent productive enterprise. The handling
of commercial timber lands was stated to be almost wholly by
methods of exploitation, and the purpose of the owner in holding
land temporary, his interest being in the growing timber only.
Col. Graves' Principles
Col. Graves, the then Chiot' Forester, in certain public addresses,
stated: "The public interests in the right handling of private
•Address delivered at the twenty-fourth annual meeting of the National
Hardwood Lumber Association, Philadelphia, Pa., June 9, 1921.
forests are so great that the matter cannot lie permitted to drift
any longer without definite action. Our nation and the individual
States cannot afford to permit the forests to be dissipated, as is
now being done, without measures for replacement. The public
cannot afford to permit the different localities and the nation at
large to suffer the injurious consequences of forest dissipation. The
public must take steps to stop destructive processes now going on
and substitute for them constructive methods of forestry.
' ' To bring about the practice of forestry on private lands, there
will be required more far-reaching action, both on the part of the
private owner and the public than has heretofore been proposed.
In order to safeguard its own interests, the public should make it
mandatory for all timberla'nd owners without discrimination to
adopt adequate measures for fire protection for forest replacement."
Circumstances connected with the war may offer an excuse for this
lack of rcsjiect, cither for the property rights or for the citizens
engaged in the lumber industry, as it seems to have proceeded upon
the misapprehension that governmental control and regulation of
industry had become a fixed and approved American policy.
These proposals of the Forest Service have found legislative
expression in a Bill introduced in Congress by Mr, Snell of New
York.
Section 1 of this Bill provides: "That the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, through the Forest Service, is hereby authorized and directed,
in co-operation with appropriate officials of the various States, or
other suitable agencies, to recommend for each forest region of the
United States the essential requirements in protecting timbered and
cut-over lands from fire in reforesting denuded lands, and, where
and to the extent necessary, in the cutting and removing of timber
crops by such methods as will promote continuous production of
timber on lands chiefly suitable therefor; and the Secretary of
Agriculture is further authorized on such conditions as he may
determine to be fair and reasonable in each State to co-operate with
the various States and through them with private and other agencies
within the States in bringing into effect such essential requirements
favorable for forest protection and renewal, with a view to furnish-
ing a continuous supply of timber for the use and necessities of the
people of the United States."
By Section 2 of the Act, the Secretary of Agriculture is author-
ized to withhold co-operation in whole or in part from States which
do not comply in legislation or in administrative practices with
such requirements as shall be established in accordance with Sec-
tion 1, which I have just quoted. This co-operation, it should be
borne in mind, is effective only through the subsidy of federal
appropriation for the benefit of the States.
Forest Policy Is Missed
These are the only provisions in the Bill which relate to forestry
upon private timber lands. It is apparent from even a casual read-
ing of them that the Bill avoids completely a legislative definition
of any ])olicy for forestry on private timber land, or, in fact, any
forest ]iolicy at all. The only provision in the Bill which rel.ates to
a forest policy is that the Forest Service, through the Secretary of
Agricultirre, may suggest what it conceives to be "essential require-
ments" for the purpose of providing adequate protection against
forest fires, for reforestation of denuded lands, and for other pur-
poses, all essential to continuous forest production. There is no
definition whatever of what may constitute these "essential require-
ments." The determination of these requirements is left entirely
within the discretion of the Secretary of Agriculture.
It may be proper at this point to observe that there arc so many
possible interpretations of what these "essential requirements"
18
HARDWOOD RECORD
June 2.". l!(:;i
may prove to be that it is obvious tli;it tlie door lias been left wide
open for the escape at such time ami in sueli manner as may be
found convenient or necessary, of those who have "endorsed" this
Bill. Naturally the Forest Service favors these provisions, which,
in fact, transfer to it the constitutional authority of Congress to
legislate upon a highly important and controversial subject. There
could not have been aJiy meeting of minds in tlie legal sense among
the endorsers of legislative terms so ambiguous and uncertain as
those which I have quoted. Evidence of what may be the determi-
nation of the Forest Service upon "essential requirements" is
already at hand, in the plan submitted by the Society of American
Foresters, and expressed in legislative terms in bills introduced in
the Senate by Mr. Capper. This legislation proposes complete gov-
ernmental regulation and control of the cutting practices of the
lumber industry, as well as to require standard accounting systems,
periodical reports on production, orders, shii)ments, sales, distribu-
tion of costs, and, finally, the right to control production when such
action is determined to be necessary for the public good in the
opinion of the commission created by the bill. These alarming pro-
jiosals illustrate clearly the possibility of delegating the legislative
authority to define a National Forest Policy to a single administra-
tive department. The study of these bills yields little satisfaction
so far as actual progress toward a definite Forest Policy is con-
cerned. The Capper Rill is of extremely doubtful validity, and its
economic plans wholly impracticable. The Snell Bill begs the ques-
tion and transfers it to the State legislatures for a combat between
federal appropriations and the lobby, which may oppose the "essen-
tial requirements" of the Secretary of Agriculture. This is clearly
an unsatisfactory situation. The time is ripe to correct it. The
people are now ready to solve their problems with full respect for
constitutional principles and in consonance with American ideals.
Such a solution need not be feared by any citizen or class of citizens.
With prejudice and dissimulation eliminated, the lumbermen as a
class, and as individual citizens, must proceed to a frank, open and
unselfish support of a rational forest policy, insisting always upon
their rights and in return fully and freely discharging their obliga-
tions as citizens.
Must Respect Private Bights
I think it may be conceded that the use of forest land in such a
manner as to be a detriment to the public health and morals and in
defiance of public welfare would create a situation of sufficient
importance to warrant legislative interference, but such interfer-
ence must proceed with the strictest regard to the right of the
private property owner, and only in cases amounting to an obvious
public necessity. In such cases legislation would be justifiable and
within the scope of the police power to prevent destruction and
injury to standing timber by fire; to provide for improvements
needed for the prompt detection and suppression of fires; to reduce
the inflammability of forests. These requirements may include
patrols, trails, lookout stations, top lopping, burning brush, con-
trolled selected areas and other reasonable measures for the pur-
poses stated. The same may be said of legislation, to check the
depredations of insects and disease. Economic utilization is a ques-
tion of practice and beyond the control of mandatory legislation,
excepting perhaps to provide for its honest and fair conduct. Legis-
lation ma.v also accomplish something in this respect through edu-
cational measures and through the dissemination of information in
relation to the utilization of forest products.
Where Police Powers Stop
The extension of the police powers to the problem of forest
replacement by laws to restrict the owner of forest lauds, in the use
of them without compensation therefore presents a wholly different
question, and if we are to guard against grave injustice to the
owners of such property, we must proceed with a clear understand-
ing, not only of the legal aspect of the public and private rights
involved, but of the policy of the .\merican people in relation to
the governmental regulation and control of industry. The police
power is extra constitutional, there is no hard and fast definition
of it. It is generally speaking an inherent sovereign power for the
protection of the liealth, morals and general welfare of the people.
There is no doubt of its extensive scope for those purposes. It must,
however, be applied with due respect for definite constitutional
limitations. The Constitution provides, in definite terms, that
jirivate property shall not be taken without compensation to the
owner therefor. Thus the boundaries of the police power are limited
to laws which do not operate to "take" private property. The
real test in each case is whether the restrictions inij)osed amount to
a "taking" of private property. To illustrate, a restriction that
merchantable trees under a certain size could not be cut would, in
my opinion, constitute a taking of private property, within the
meaning of the Constitution, and for that reason would be beyond
the exercise of the police power. The same may be said of restric-
tions providing that certain trees be left for seeding or for other
protective purposes. If the public interest is such that the property
must be, all or in part, taken for a jmblic purpose the Constitution
specifically provides the method of taking such property through
appropriation, and the payment to the owner of proper compensa-
tion therefor.
Thus far I have spoken solely of the legal rights Involved. To
my mind there is nothing in these that need disturb any citizen.
The danger arises when an attempt is made to subordinate these
rights to the desire of one class of citizens to impose upon another
class an undue and unjust proportion of the public burden. This
l)rings us to the question of public policy, which is the real issue
here. If I correctly interpret the present state of the public mind
and of the expression of it through the Federal Administration, it
is distinctly opposed to interference with the conduct of business
affairs, except and only to the extent necessary to enforce the prac-
tice of common honesty and fair dealing. I do not understand it
to be the present public policy to use the strength of the Govern-
ment to impose an undue burden upon any class of citizens, or to
be disposed to emphasize the strength of the Government, for the
sole purpose of satisfying the desires of those who preach progress
with little or no knowledge of the practical aspects involved.
I stated in an address at Xltica, N. Y., last December, that Con-
gress would not enact any such proposals as are contained in the
forestry legislation now pending in Congress, and I am informed
on excellent authority that it has no present intention of making
such enactments. The reason may be that the Administration is
not friendly to Federal regulation of business, or it may be that
the proponents of the legislation have failed to convince Congress
of its true meaning, and of the sincerity of their support. In any
event, I reaffirm the belief that the time is ripe for the enactment of
forestry legislation, based upon sound American principles. These
principles seem to me to be:
American Foresty Principles
1. Adeipiate protection to prevent the destruction or injury of
standing forests by fire; the burden for such protection to be shared
by the public and the owner of the land.
2. The extension of ownership, especially of protective areas and
cut-over and denuded lands, by both Federal and State purchases.
3. Reforestation on public lands and liberal inducement to own-
ers to reforest private lands.
4. Forest surveys and the classification of lands suitable for
forest ]iroduction.
5. Forest perpetuation and renewal with public assumption com-
mensurate with public benefit of all burdens imposed upon the
owners of private timber land.
These principles are sufficient in outline to comprehend the
obvious details of the several programs which have been discussed,
and seem to me to present a safe platform for both public and
jvrivate interests and to promise actual co-operation and progress.
In conclusion may I express the hope that this association will
not lend its influence or support to legislation which does not clearly
define in legislative terms the policy proposed and which does not
fairly distribute the burden of forest perpetuation between public
and private interests?

Detailed iiifoniiation on tlio plan for co-oijoration bctwocu the
Department of Commerce and manufacturers of lumber in the col-
lection and dissemination of lumber statistics is given by Dr. Wilson
Comptou in a bulletin issued from the headquarters of the National
Lumber Manufacturers 'Association in Wjishington, D. C, on June
11. This information describes the method which has been devel-
oped since the conference with Secretary Hoover on May 24, when
the representatives of various lumber trade associations, includ-
ing the American Hardwood Manufacturers' Association, agreed
to co-operate with the goveninient in tliis endeavor. Dr. Comptou 's
bulletin follows:
The iictinn taken at a conlcr c between Secretary o£ Commerce Hoover
ami rcpreseiilalivcs of tli'e lunilier industry on May 24, 1921, has been
widely i)ublislied in tl)e trade press.
Participatiiij; in that cont'erence were representatives of the National
Lumber .Mamit'acturers' ,4ssociafinu and of each afBilatert association, the
American Ilardwiiod Mannfactnrors' .Association, the Southern Lumber
Exporters' .\asociatiou and the Lumber Maiiul'ai-turers of So\itheru New
England. The representatives of these associations assured Secretary of
Commerce Hoover of their purpose to join wltli the Department of Com-
merce in the effort to make available promptly and regularly essential
statistical information aliont sujiply and demand conditions in the lum-
I>er industry.
By resolution of the associations thus represented at the conference the
matter of working out with the Secretary of Commerce the specific details
of a practical plan for co-oijeratinn was placed in the hands of the secre-
tary-manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association.
It was furthermore understood that the associations participating in
this conference would agree to the general plan thus worked out. Pur-
suant to this action the National Lumber Manufacturers' .\ssociation has
since the conference on May 24, been constantly in touch with the Depart-
ment of Commerce and the officials of the Bureau of the Census.
INFORJUTION DESIRED
The Secretary of Commerce first proposed that information to be secured
be confined to the following: (1) Production, (2) stocks, (3) consump-
tion. Sulisequent discussion imlicated that information as to consumption
was difficult to obtain, and at l)est could not be furnished by the lumber
manufacturers. It was finally agreed that information to he solicited
would be: (ll Production, (2) stocks, and (3) shipments.
"Subsequent to the conference of May 24 it has developed in the judg-
ment of the Department of Commerce that an effort should be made to
secure regularly and promptly the prices on actual sales of representative
items in building materials, including lumber.
MONTHLY UEPOKTS
The present plan of the Department of Commerce is to secure monthly
reports from regional associations, by wire or by letter, giving essential
information compiled by such associations ; also to secure similar informa-
tion from representative mills outside of present association members.
Report to the Department of Commerce from associations are to be
totals or averages, as the case may be, compiled by the associations them-
selves. Information is to be in possession of the department by the end
of a definite short period after the end of the month. Information thus
received and compiled from all regions is to be immediately released for
pul)licntiitii and to be made available at once for the lumbiT imlustry.
riuiDrcTiox
Present plans tentatively include monthly production statistics sepa-
rately for each leading species, as follows :
Softwoods : Longleaf yellow pine. Nortli Carolina pine. Douglas fir,
western pine. Idaho white pine, California sugar pine, California redwood,
California white pine, spruce, cypress, hemlock, northern pine.
Hardwoods : Birch, maple, oak, gum, elm. ash, poplar, chestnut, hickory,
basswood. tupelo, walnut, cottonw-ood.
Production statistics are desired separately by species, but iii>t by grades.
SHIPMENTS
Shipment statistics will probably also be kept separate by species only,
with no effort to distinguish between the grades of product shipped.
STOCKS
In the statistics of stocks more detailed classifications are expected to
be followed. The chief classifications have to do with species, grade and
thickness. In the case of the major hardwoods, in a general way the
grades to be shown separately fnr each species wdll be firsts and seconds,
selects. No. 1. No. 2 and No. 3 common, with, of course, some variations in
individual species.
In the case of .softwoods u similar plan of general classlflcation will be
followed showing separately the clears, first and seconds. No. 1, No. 2 and
No. 3 common, etc., with, of course, variations made necessary by the
grading rules applying to individual species.
As to thickness no conclusion has as yet been reacheil whether classlfl-
cation also by each grade separately will be sufficient cu- whether classlflca-
tion by various thicknesses will be required.
Obviously, however, boards, dimension, and timbers must be kept sepa-
rate.
PRICES OV ACTUM. SALES
In tile reporting of prices lumber will be classified by species, by grades,
ami by thickness. It Is expected, however, that the statistics will be
confined to the major species furnishing building nuiterlals ; recognized
standard grades of lumber used for construction purposes, and standard
thicknesses universally applleil by the trade to each particular species.
For instance, longleaf yellow pine prices would thus be reported sejia-
rately for each grade, and for each standard size as determl!ie«l ui»ttn in
the plan for reporting. Timbers would be shown separately ; also .\o. 1
common boards, for exanipb'. would be shown, separate from No. 1 common
dimension.
FURTHER DISCUSSION
As result of pridimlnary discussion with represeutatlvi's of the Depart-
ment of Commerie and Bureau of the Census, the conference will be held
soon with the Secretary of Commerce in order to reach as nearly as possible
specific conclusions as to the degree of detail to which the lumber statistics
of production, shipments, stock and prices will be requested.
.\s soon as possible, therefore, a further report will be made to the
regional associations indicating additional progress made iu working out
a plan for this co-operation with the Department of Commerce.
Each subscribing association except one was represented personally
at the conference on May 24. It is impracticable to report in this manner
the evidence given the lumber Industry's representatives at that time by
the Department of Commerce of the department's purpose to surround
this co-operative activity with every possible safeguard to the industry.
For instance, this work will be done by and through the Bureau of the
Census. This means that the information thus acquired will not be avail-
able to any other department of the government for any purpose.
Furthermore, the Department of Commerce in this activity desires the
direct co-operation of the various associations, and its plan for compila-
tion and exchange of statistical trade information is in its opinion imprac-
ticable without the active assistance of the associations.
The working out of definite plans with the Secretary of Commerce
having been left by the regional associations to the secretary-nmnager of
the National Lumber Manufacturers' -Vssociation. this work is being con-
tinued with the definite purpose to insure its success. It is the belief of the
officers of the National association closely identified with this wiu-k that the
success of this enterprise wdth the Department of Commerce is a matter of
much, and immediate, importance, ttj the lumber Industry. It is the pur-
pose, therefore of the National association with the authority lodged with
it to represent the regional associations in this latter, to aid the Depart-
ment of Commerce in every possible way, to formulate a practicable plan
insuring promptness and accuracy of reports. It confidently expects the
support of the subscribing associations in this activity.

introduced witnesses to show that the penalty seriously interferes
with the marketing of the product of the small lumber mills of the
country that are compelled to sell their lumber through whole-
salers, who finance them; this interference, it ■was said, resolves
into a burden of increased cost to the consumer, because the recon-
signcd shipments of lumber may be bought cheaper than the direct
shipments. Continued enforcement of the pen.alty would result in
the elimination of transit lumber, because the wholesaler could
no longer afford to finance the smaller producer, or do business, in
fact. This would result in the concentration of lumber production
in the hands of a comparatively few large operators who could

iiiaiiit.-iiii tlu'ir own sales forces. This would constitute a monopoly
and would inevitably mean much higher prices for lumber. Reten-
tion of the j)enalty would seriously affect small retail yards and
tend to drive them out of business, it was also claimed. If these
small dealers could not buy transit lumber they could not stay in
business, because they could not carry large enough stocks to serve
their trade. In general the penalty was described by the com-
plainants as unfair and discriminatory.
The complainants maintained that they did not believe in the
retention of a car under load and asserted that they never pur-
posely did so. But the forty-eight hour free time, they said, is too
brief. They protested against the inclusion of Sundays, legal holi-
days and Mondays following legal holidays in this free time. They
al.so objected to the frequent declaration by the railroads of
embargoes without due notice, causing delay (jf transit cars for
which the lumber wholesalers were penalised.
The principal witness for the complainants was L. (iermain, Jr..
the Germain Company, Pittsburgh, Pa., a director of the American
Wliolesale Lumber Association. Those intervening in favor of the
original complainant wore the Associated Cooperage Industries of
America, St. Louis, Mo., and the Central Wisconsin Supply Com-
pany, Beaver Dam, Wis. Joseph E. Davies and Franklin D. Jones
of Davies & Jones, Washington, D. C, and Edward A. Haid of
St. Louis, MO; appeared as attorneys for the American Wholesale
Lumber Association. The defense was directed by Eoyal T.
McKenna, representing the director general of railroads. A num-
ber of defendant railroads were individually represented by attor-
neys.
Several lumber trade organizations intervened to sustain the
$10 penalty charge, among these being the National Betail Lumber
Dealers' Association, represented by Warren T. Duffy and George
N. Brown; the Southern Pine Association, represented by L. C.
Boyle; the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, by Frank
Carnahan; the Georgi;i-Florida Saw Mill Association, by W. E.
Gardner and the Michigan Hardwood Manufacturers ' Association,
by J. C. Knox.
Sustainers of the penalty charge contended that it has served
to reduce demurrage; that it prevents abuse of equipment and
contributes to the maintenance of an adequate supply of cars.
They denied that the transit car necessarily keejis the price of
lumber down, declaring that there are occasions when an "auc-
tion" market is created by this means, when a car of lumber is
passed from wholesaler to wholesaler, increasing the cost each time.
It was said that the transit car is often held while the wholesaler
liargains for a better price. It was contended that the use of the
tr.-insit car retards the movement of traffic generally and without
the penalty would become a serious retardant.
The most important witness for the railroads was W. C. Kendall,
head of the commission on car service, American Railroad Associa-
tion, Washington, D. C, who during the war was chief of the car
service section of the Railroad Administration. He introduced a
great mass of data applying to car supply during .md after the war,
but the testimony which he gave on present and future ear supply
w.is most valuable from the standpoint of general interest. Sup-
]p()rtiiig Ins contention that the penalty should remain, he declared
lliat the volume of traffic is already on the increase; that a great
liuilding boom is developing which will demand the movement of
i|uantities of lumber and other building materials that will take
the capacity of the railroads. He quoted statistics to sustain this
contention: During the week ending May 21 the railroads of the
country hauled 50,000 caTs of ' ' forest products, ' ' while the week
following, ending May 28, they hauled 54,000 cars of forest products,
.■I gain of 4,000 cars in one week. But the gain in traffic does not
apply only to forest products, Mr. Kendall said. He gave the fol-
lowing figures on general traffic, covering the four weeks of May —
first week, 718,000 carloads; second week, 750,000 carloads; third
week, 768,000 carloads; fourth week, 787,000 carloads. In sum the
' ' revenue freight ' ' on the railroads of the country increased 69,000
carloads during May.
In conjunction with this rapidly growing volume of traffic the
perecentage of bad order cars is increasing, Mr. Kendall said. Such
ears are now 14 per cent of the total, instead of 7 per cent as a
year ago.
From the above figures Mr. Kendall drew the conclusion that
' • We should conserve our car supply in every way possible, and
the penalty charge should be retained in order to give the shipping
public the use of all ears necessary."
The Capital Stock Tax Return
By Gen. L. C. Boyle
Counsel for National Lumber Manufacturers* Association
The capital stock tax is an excise tax imposed on the privilege of
"doing business." It applies to corporations including concerns in
the nature of corporations, such as associations, joint stock com-
panies, whether created by statute or contract, and insurance com-
panies, but not to partnerships.
The tax applies to both domestic and foreign corporations "doing
business" within the meaning of the act, unless specifically exempt,
provided such corporation is engaged in "doing business" in the
two fiscal years 1921 and 1922. Thus in July, 1921, corporations
which were engaged in "doing business" at any time between
June 30, 1920, and July 1, 1921, and which are engaged likewise in
"doing business" at any time between July 1, 1921, and June 30,
1922, are liable to the tax, payable in advance, the tax being based
upon the value of the capital stock (for domestic corporations) or
capital employed (for foreign corporations) of the previous year.
A corporation which starts for the first time "doing business"
during the year between July 1, 1921, and June 30, 1922, is not liable
to the tax, but a corporation which starts "doing business" prior
to July 1, 1921, and continues past that date is liable, no matter if
it be engaged in "doing business" but a short time, the length of
time making no difference in the tax. .
The rate of tax is $1 for every full ,$1,000 of the ' ' fair average
value of its capital stock for the preceding fiscal year" for a
domestic corporation and $1 for every full. $1,000 of the "average
amount of capital actually employed in the transaction of business
in the United States during the preceding fiscal year" for a foreign
corporation. Domestic corporations, however, are allowed a spe-
cific exemption for $5,000.
The tax is payable in advance. That is, a corporation which is
doing business in July, 1921, and which was also engaged in doing
business prior to such date, will pay for the privilege of doiug busi-
ness in the period subsequent to July 1, 1921, during July, the tax
being based upon the value of capital stock or capital employed in
the previous year.
The return is due during the month of July, 1921, and the tax is
i:)ayable upon notice and demand by the collector but may be paid
at the time of filing return.
Every corporation, including associations, joint stpek companies,
etc., should file a return on Form 707 whether or not it is exempt
or whether or not it is, in its opinion, "doing business" within the
meaning of the Act. If, in its opinion, it is specifically exempt or
not "dong business" Form 707 (Revised) should be filled out and
filed with the collector, together with a comprehensive statement of
the reasons for claiming exemption. In such case the fair value
should be reported on page 1 of the form, but the tax not computed,
notation "exemption claim" being made instead. If exemption
has been allowed for the preceding taxable year and there has been
no change in the status or position of the company, then the first
fourteen lines of Form 707 (Revised) should be completed and a
statement attached to the effect that exemption is claimed for
the same reasons as for the previous year and that the same status
and condition of the company exists for the taxable period in

News from the National Capital
Trade Commission Attacks West Coast Lumbermen
Alli'j;iiiK tl''i' ""■ l>iiiif;la.s (ir and otlicr Fai-ific ('(last liiiiilicr ami
loggiiiK iiitiTcsts arc organized to take coiieerted action on prifos
and otlu'iwise operating sul)stantially as a monopoly, the Federal
Trade Commission has laid before both Houses of Congress a report
on a special investigation it has conducted into the practices of
these interests.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover, while not countenancing trust
methods, takes a different view of trade association activities from
that esjioused by the Trade Commission, and a conflict of jmliey
toward trade associations on the part of these two important gov-
ernmental bodies results. The charges of monopolistic practices
are summarized in the following paragraphs of the report:
First — Hctufi-n 1V»1.5 and I'.lliO. wholesale (puttations un tiv hnnl>er
increased frnni ;^00 per cent to .'lOO per cent, ami most items (IuuIjIimI in
price after tlie annistjce. NiitwitlistninHii^ siiltstantial reiUictieiis since
the sprinj; r)t" lltlitt on some items, quotations still range altont as they
were in May and .lune, 1!11!). and on others, as the.v were in the spring of
1917. On snlistantial portions of the production, present quotations are
still more than dout)le tlie Oct<flter. 1015. price. Fir logs are quoted as of
Ma.v, 1921, at prices identical witli those which were fixed by the War
Industries Board as the war-time maximum, and which the loggers con-
tinued in force as the minimum until June, IttlO, These comparisons are
based upon the i)uldished tjuotations of the manufacturers and loggers.
Second — The loggers and lumlier manufacturers of the Douglas fir region
are organizetl for the purpose of taking concerted action on the prices of
logs anil luinlier. supi>orting the prices so fixed by means of concerted
restriction of production. They have been engaged in such activities for
twenty years or more. As proiiuction concentrates in fewer and stronger
bauds, the control of these organizations over the market becomes more
and more effective.
Third — The ownership of standing timber in the Dmiglas lirregion. the
chief source of the Nation's reserve supply of lumber, is concentrate^d in
the hands of a comparatively few strong <'oncerns. The organized efforts
of lumber producers to cimtrol prices are baseil upon their ability to con-
trol production : and control of timlier is the ke,v to control of production.
P^ourth — The relation between tlie fir ami lumber markets is such that
ordinary manufacturing profits tend to be absorbed in the price of logs
and the valuation of timber, particularly on falling wholesale lumber mar-
kets. The frequent and present claims of tinprofitable mill prices are
largely explainable b.v the collusive action of loggers antl timber-owning
mills in enhancing the value of logs and standing timber.
Fifth — The success of the Douglas fir loggers' and manufacturers* con-
certed efforts to advance prices in 1910 was threatened l>y the importation
of t'anadian logs, and led to efforts to prevent such importation. Failing
in this. The P.ritish t'olumbia loggers became affiliateil with the American
associations ami adopted the bitter's prices.
Sixth — In addition to a similar exchange between fir and southern pine
manufacturers, prompt notice of price action is given each other by the
fir manufacturers and those of western pine, for the purpose and with
the effect of securing harmonious price action by both groups. The western
pine manufacturers have adopted without change the prices of the fir
manufacturers on certain classes of lumber and use the higher Coast
freight rate in (juoting delivered prices on such stock.
Seventh — The long continued existence of artificial methods of con-
trolling the prices and production of Douglas fir was shown by the Bureau
of Corporations in 1914.
Eighth — Despite the fact that retail prices on lumber in .Tanuary. 1921,
had not been reduced proportitinately to the decline in wholesale prices,
the manufacturers joined hands with the retailers in an advertising cam-
liaigii to revive bu.ving, which, if successful, will tend to prevent such a
reduction in retail prices,
Robert B. Allen of Seattle, secretar,v-inaMager of the West Coast
Lumbernieu 's Association, has .sent to the Federal Trade Commis-
sion a formal statement, which in a number of particulars contra-
dicts statements concerning the West Coast lumber industry, con-
tained in the commission's rc|Hirt to Congress. In part, Mr. Allen
sa.vs:
The report is radically incoi-rect in many particulars. In so far as asso-
ciation mills are concerned, any practice concerning which there may he
any question of legality will be ipiickly discarded.
The West Coast r,.umbernien's .\ssociation is not a price-fixing or i)r<»-
duction-cnrtailing organization. It has not. since the war, attempted to
fix prices, nor has it atteiniited tti curtail output, as charged in the com-
sion's report. During the war period It did fix prices in conjunction with
the War Industries Hoard at the request of the government. During that
perioil it endeavored to curtail non-essential production In order that
the essentials of war requirements might be stimulated.
Mr. Allen h.id a conference with Houston Thompson, chairman of
the Federal Trade Commission, at which he recjuested that the com-
mission's report. During the war period It did fix prices in conjunction with
reopened. Chairman Thompson is understood to have refused to
reopen the case.
Following the conference, Mr. Allen stated that he intended to
ask for a congressional investigation of the association, because he
stated that the commission 's report was not at all in accordance
with the facts in the case.
Lumber has not been placed on the free list either actually or
substantially, according to a statement issued on June 21 by Rep-
resentative George M. Young of North Dakot.t, a member of the
Wa.ys and Means Committee.
Representative Young takes exception to newspaper articles
which state that tariff duties on lumber have, by an amendment
adopted by the committee, been limited to "lumber which has been
placed on one or more sides and tongucd and grooved."
' ' The article carries the idea that the amendment is a concession
to those who want free lumber, and that the lumber paragraph will
now be largely free from objection, and it is claimed by some that
lumber will be practically on the free list," Representative Young
declares. "These reports being sent out are, to sa.v the least, mis-
leading." Continuing, the statement says:
The time has come for plain speaking. Lumber has not been placed on
the free list either actually or snl>stantially. The luuiber paragraph has
always lieen unsatisfactory and is still highly obji'ctionable.
The language of the amendment is ambiguous. Only the courts can sa.v
what it means. If it covers all planed lumber as well as lumber tongued
and grooved it will cover 100 per cent of all imported dressed lumber ;
if it covers only lumber which is tongueil and grooved, it will cover about
sixty per cent of all imported dressed lumlier. Dressetl lumber, which
includes all siding, ceiling, flooring, sliiplap. sheathing and partition, is
the chief requirement for houses, barns, garages, machine sheds and store-
houses, now so scarce all over the country.
An ad valorem duty on these items will mean a duty of from .$3 to $12
per thousand feet on the soft woods, depending on the quality: and from
$8 to .$20 per thousand on hardwood flooring. All of this is included dead
sure in the bill for duties.
If the customs officials and customs courts say lumber planed on one
or more sides is included for a duty, then duties will also be collected on
all stutlding and joists, and it should be remembered that customs offi-
cials ami customs courts lean strongly towards the interpretation which
will bring revenue into the Treasury,
If you want free of duty lumber such as a ranchman or mechanic would
consider absolutely necessar,v to meet the chills of winter or the rain and
heat of summer, you will be sadly disappointed if the bill Is enacted In its
present form. But if you are satisfied to build a house out of rough
lumber where the snow will drift through in the winter and flies crawl
through in the summer, then it is a bully good bill and yiiu <*au be par-
doned for supporting it.
A Correction
In order that the records nia.v b,. kept straight, ll.vnywooi)
Record advises its readers that the proposed changes in niahogan.v
rules were rejected at the twenty-fourth annual meeting of the
National Hardwood Lumber Association in Philadelphia on June
10. Due to an error in transmitting a telegraphic report of the
action of the convention on the recommendations of the Inspection
Rules Committee, the statement was published that all the proposed
changes were adopted with the exception of those applving to
cypress. However, both the pi'oposed cypress ;ind mahoganv
changes were reji'Cted when the remainder of the changes were
adojited.

A Roller Bearing Logging Car
The Vestal Lumber & Manufacturing Company is using a logging
car on its operation near Duff, Tenn., whieh may greatly interest
hardwood lumber operators because of the improvements it carries.
This car was built for tlie Vestal company by the Sanford-Day Iron
Works of Knoxvillc, Tciin. It is of roller bearing type and will
probably convey to jiractical lunilionui'n an idea nf liuilding lienviiT
equipment for logging |)ur[ios('s.
The Vestal company is hauling lumber with this car five miles
over a thirty-sixinch gauge railway, where at some points the
grade is in excess of 7 per cent. An eight-ton gasoline motor fur-
nishes the power. The car pictured here is only to be used for tlie
hauling of lumber, but the users state that by building the car
heavier with longer bunks, it could be used very handily for haul-
ing logs. The specifications of the car as made for the Vestal com-
pany are:
Car has eight wheels, 18" diameter with roller bearings in tlie
wheels and boxings on the outside of wheels; track gauge 36", size
of axles 3" round; size of truck sills, lengthwise 6"x6", crosswise
4"x6"; center sills, 6"x8". Wheel base of each truck 40".
Length of main sills of car over all, 20'; size of main sill, 4"x8".

Lincoln Wins Chicago Golf Championship
Against the largest field that has yet contested in a tournament
of the Lumbermen's Golf Association of Chicago, Ike W. Lincoln
of the Lincoln Lumber Company, Chicago, won the annual cham-
pionship on the Beverly Hills Club links, June 21. The tall wiry
man from Flossmoor drove through 143 starters with a card of
77-77-154.
John W. Simpson of Vinccnncs, Ind., winner of the 1920 cham-
pionship, tied with L. V. Graham of Blue Hills, Kansas City, on a
card of 78-77-155.
The fourth ma.n was W. J. Foye of Omaha, Neb., a former holder
of the (.'hicago championshi]i and runncv up in 1920, His card was
79-78-157.
At the annual dinner, which was held in the club house at the
close of the play. Minor E. Botts, the efficient and hardworking
secretary and treasurer of tlie association, was unanimously elected
president. Mr. Botts is Chicago manager of the J. E. Pinkham
Lumber Company, and has been a tower of strength in building up
the association.
Ike W. Lincoln was elected vice-president. Richard G. Gebhart,
a lumber broker, was elected secretary-treasurer. The following
directors were also elected: A. K. Maxwell, Maxwell Brothers, box
makers; Frank E. O'Dowd, Edward Hines Lumber Company;
Frank H. Burnaby, Buruaby Brothers' Lumber Company; Frank
H. Burns, Jolin E. Burns Lumber Company; Louis E. Rollo, Chicago
& Eiverdale Lumber Company.
The annual dinner and entertainment, which was attended by
nearly three hundred members and guests, was presided over by
C. A. Flanagin, the retiring president. The dinner proved to be
the perfect ending of a perfect day of golfiing. In fact, the tourna-
ment throughout was the most successful the association has yet
held. Members of the hardwood lumber industry participated in
larger number this year than ever before.

Hardwood Exports Decrease
~ The statement of exports of Uiinbcr and logs from Haltiniore for April,
which was issued in complete form Thursday. .Tune l(i, shows the extent
lo which the foreign movement has been curtailed and Indicates tile degree
to which business is held back by the conditions prevailing on the other
side of the Atlantic. The shipments of oak and poplar boards, two of
tile principal items, which in ordinary times lead the list, are down to
nominal proportions, with the exports of oak boards amounting to only
S2.(IO(i feet, of a declared value of .$8,420, against 793,0(10 feet, of a declared
value of .f80.32.S. for the same month last year. Poplar went forward to
the extent of 79,00(1 feet, of a declared value of .$S,,S6,"), compared with
274.000 feet, valued at .$32,614, for the corresponding month of 1920.
Hardwood boards also suffered a heavy drop, the shipments being 43.000
feet, of a declared value of .S5.36H, against 444,000 feet, of a declared value
of .$50. 990 for .\pril. 1920. But one of the heaviest declines was in
"other manufactures of wood." which decreased from $107,400 for April
last year to .$.">7.S71 in April this year. The total exports for April were
valued at $ll.",K(i5 against not less than .$407,879 for April, 1920, which
latter month is by no means to be classed among the periods when normality
could be said to prevail in the trade.
Say Loading Rates Are Lowered
The A'alley l.og Loading Company has annouiued sulistantial reduction
in the cost of loading on the main and branch lines of the Yazoo & Missis-
sippi Valley railroad, effective .Tuly 1. 1921. These reductions are based
on the lower cost of labor, food and feed stuffs, and other elements. The
management of the railroad has not made any reduction in the cost of
engine hire and train service, but .T. W. Dickson, preshlent of the company,
is autliority for the statement that, if the railroad should make such
reduction, the clients of his firm will be given the benelit thereof. The

Throgmorton Leaves Overseas Company
K. I/. T'hlo;:iii-irIun. general ageiil of the .Vmerican (Iverscas Forward-
ing Company for the past year, with headquarters at Memphis, has
resigned to liecome representative at Memphis and In the Memphis terri-
tory of the Waterman Steamship Corporation, with general offices in
Moliile. He has opened offices In the T'orter building and has already
**ntereil upon his new duties.
Mr. Throgmorton was selected for his new work beciuse of his i-xten-
slve experience in handling overseas shipments and because of his wide
acquaintance with exporters and Importers in this territory. The Water-
man Steamship Corporation operates vessels sailing from Mobile. (Iiilfport
and Pensacola to the rnitcd Kingdom and to Hamburg and Bremen, tier-
many.
.1. 11. Townsliend. president of the American Overseas Forwarding Com-
panv. announces that li. V. McCame.v, vice-president of the company,
nas been appointed temporarily to take up the duties which were formerly
[lerformeil by .Mr. Throgmorton. Mr. McCamey has had supervision over
all general agents employed by the .\merlcan Overseas I'"orwarillng Com-
panv and is. therefore, thoroughly familiar with every phase of this work.
He Is also manager of the district offices of the Southern Hardwood Traffic
.\ssociation and has fifteen years of railroad experience behind him. Few
traffic men in tliis part of the country are better known to all classes ot
exporters and shippers than he.
In connection with these changes in the personnel of the American Over-
seas I'lirwarding Company, Mr. Townshend says that preparations are
under way to enlarge the activities of this organization as a means of giv-
ing to the export trade additional facilities. This company. In addition
to its executive offices at Memidiis. maintains offices in New Orleans and
other ports, as well as at Helena. .\rk.. Louisville. Ky., and Cincinnati.

Natiiinal Lumber Exporters Meet
The semi-annual meeting of the Hoard of Managers of thn National
Lumber Kxporters' Association, which was held In Koom B of the Manu-
facturers' Club, in I'hiiadelphia. In June, the day before file annual meet-
ing of the National Hardwood .\ssoclatlon, brought together not only
practically all the members of the board, but a number of those affiliated in
a general way with the association, and resulted in the consideration ot
various matters of great Importance to the organization, but even more
to the foreign trade generally.
Edward I'.ariier. former president of the association and now chairman
of the Itaiiway Oak Scantling Committee, made a report of the activities
of this body, stating that the Inspection rules which his committee liad
prepared had not lieen acceptable to the I..iverpool Timber Trade .\ssocin-
tlon, and that the latter had submitted another set of rules, which were
not acceptable to the committee. M his suggestion the committee was
continued with instructions that an effort be made to prepare a set of
inspection rules which shall be satisfactory to both sides of the contro-
versy.
In a way related to this subject was the presentation by (histave A.
Farlier. London representative of Russe & Burgess. Inc.. Memphis, and
cliairman of the United Kingdom Uniform Form of Contract ('ommittee.
of a proposed draft. A special committee, consisting of Mr. Farber. John
L. Alcock. of John L. Alcock & Co., Baltimore, and Mr. Barber, the latter
of the Howard & I'.arber Lumber Company, Cincinnati, was appointed to
draft a form of contract for Mr. Farber to submit to the Hardwood Section
of the Timber Trade Federation ot the United Kingdom, on his return
home.
Shortly after Mr. Farber sailed for the United States last December it
was brought to the notice of Harvey M. Dickson, the secretary of the
N. L. E. .\.. that the Hardwood Section of the Timber Trade Federation ot
the U. K. was about to prepare a form of contract for submission to the
N. L. E. A. On request the chairman of the Hardwood Section consented
to hold the matter over until Mr. Farber's return. The question of a
uniform contract has been under discussion for a number of years. Vari-
ous forms of contract have been submitted by the Timber Trade Federation
and by the National Lumber Exporters' Association, but the two organiza-
tions have never been able to get together. .\t one time the X. L. E. A.
even went so far as to send a special committee over to England, hut the
trip proved futile. It is now believed that by haying a representative of
the N. L. E. A. meet In conference with the special committee of the Timber
Trade Federation a form of contract can be frame<l which will be satis-
factory to the .\merlcan exporters and to the British importers as well.
The Liverpool Form of Contract has also been under discussion during
the last year, with the result that a draft has been agreeil upon by the
N. L. K. .\.. and that Mr. Farber. who is chairman of the N. L. E. A. com-
mittee, has been re(|uested to take up the matter personally with the
Liverpool organization on his return.
President R. S. Huddlestou called the meeting to order and presented a
concise statement on the export trade situation at the present time. He
was followed by Secretary Dickson, who read a report on what has been
done by his office during the last six months in the way of bringing claims
to settlement and the progress made in other directions. Still another
report presented was tliat of D. D. llartlove, chairman of the Transporta-
tion Ciimmittec. on transportation conditions, rates ot inland and ocean
freight, bill of lading troubles and other related matters.
During the past few months brokers and buyers have filed complaints
against shipments of Northern oak made through the Southern Atlantic
and (!ulf ports, claiming that the stock shipped was not Northern oak. It
was suggested that the general term Northern oak. as used in buyers'
contrai'ts. was much abused and misunderstood. After a discussion of
tile matter President lluddleston appointed a committee consisting of
ICdward Barber, chairman: J. J. Linehau, of the Mowbray & Robinson
Company, and J. W. Turnbull. of the .T. W. Turnbull Lumber Company, to
investigate, and to define Northern oak, and. if possible, name the States
from which Northern oak may be shipped.

vention of the Na-

This was the death of
K. F. Cooper, mill

for Henry Disstim &

had attended the an-
nual banquet of the
association, lield in
the BelleTUe-StratConl
Hotel, on Thursday
evening, June 9. He
engaged a room tor

.Manufacturers" Club.
I'rlday morning. June
10. at aliiuit eight
o'clock an attack of
acute indigestion
laused Mr. Cooper to
telephone for a doe-
tor. He was dead
when the doctor ar-
ri\-ed.
IC. F. Cooper entered tlic employ of "The House of Uisston" on October
1, 1871. .\fter spending two years in the factory he entered the saw mill
that Henry Uisston liad established for the purpose of making practical
<'xperinients in running saws. Here, for si\ years. Mr. Cooper gained
jiractical mill experience and many useful ideas which he absorbed from
E. F. Cooper
visiting mill men, who
experiments.
For the next six years he engaged in saw milling and millwright work
in various states. Then for tive years lie traveled, selling the Disston line.
At this time Mr. Cooper entered tiie mill business ami spent two years with
his own mill. Then he returned to the Disston organization in 1.S92. He
became northern mill goods sales manager, and was appointed mill goods
sales manager in 1909.
Mr. Cooper was familiar with all the saws and machines in use by the
progressive lumberman of today. His father and grandfather had been
mill men. He was born with a love of the business, an ambition to per-
fect liis knowledge, and a capacity to absorb information. From the busi-
ness standpoint he is a great loss to the trade. But that loss is small
compared to the feeling of tlie host of his friends. His amiable character,
his integrity an<i jtistice in dealings — both business and personal — his
ability to give himself in service won for him the respect and admiration
of those who came in close contact with him.
He is siu-yived by his wife, two sisters, Mrs. Burkholder and Mrs. Carter,
liotb of Philadelphia, and three brothers. John L. and Charles H., both
Disston salesmen, and Geo. M.. assistant superintendent in charge of the
Disston band saw department.

DeCamp Joins J. C. West Sales Force
The large industrial
and consuming trade
in the middle west
will no doubt be inter-
ested in the announce-
ment that E. W. De-
Camp, who has been
with such large manu-
facturing firms as M.
B. Farrin Lumber
Company, Cincinnati ;
the .-Vmerican Column
& Lumber Company,
Columbus, Ohio, and
the Thos. Hall Lum-
ber Company. Charles-
ton, W. Va., has
Joined the sales force
of J. C. West Lumber
Company, with exten-
sive mill connections
in West Virginia and
the South, and with
their principal sales
office in the Union
Central building, Cin-
cinnati. Ohio.
Mr. DeCamp needs
no introduction to the
trade on account of
his wide acquaintance and high standing among the largest consumers of
lumber in the middle west. Mr. DeCamp started In the lumber business
back in 1905 and is thoroughly familiar with all phases of the business
from the stump to the consumer. He will continue to make his head-
quarters at 419 West NaVarre street. South Bend, Ind., from which point
he will cover the middle west territory.
E. W. DeCamp
.Vt iht.' present time Mr. DeCamp is spending ten days or two weeks with
.Mr. West at their different West Virginia mill connections, and after July
4 will be making a bid for his share of the business in the trade mentioned.
J. C. West Lumber Company, unlike a great many other manufacturers
and wholesalers, have enjoyed a reasonable amount of success, even dur-
ing the lean months of 1921, and are sufficiently optimistic on the future
to add to its sales force rather than curtail expenses or sit still and wait
for the tide to turn.
Robert T. Cooper Succiunbs to Operations
Robert T. Cooper, president and treasurer of the West Memphis Lum-
ber Company, was buried in Calvary Cemetery June 17. Funeral services
were conducted from the residence on Poplar avenue.
Mr. Cooper died ^\^lnesday, June 15, following operations for appendi-
citis and stomach trouble. He had been ill for a number of weeks. It was
decided several days ago to operate for appendicitis and, owing to failure
of the first operation to furnish relief, another was decided on after a
hasty consultation. He did not rally from this.
Mr. Cooper was forty years old and bad been engaged in the lumber
business at Memphis for seventeen years. He came to this city from Grand
Rapids. Mich., with the old Memphis Band Mill Company, and remained
with this company practically all the years he was in Memphis except a
brief period spent in the employ of the Kennedy Heading Company, and
the last two years during which he was at the head of the West Memphis
Lumber Company, which he organized.
Mr. Cooper, although comparatively a young man. was one of the most
active members of lumber organizations in Memphis. He was a former
secretary and director of the Lumbermen's Club of Memphis and he was
one of the leading spirits in the formation of the Southern Hardwood
Tratfic .\ssociation. He was very popular with the lumber fraternity, as
well as in business and social circles generally, and his death is deplored
by all.
Mr. Cooper is survived by his wife, Mrs. Eva Fopiana Cooper ; by his
parents. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Cooper. Spring Lake, Mich., and by three
brothers, Peter and Sabe Cooper of Grand Rapids and George Cooper of
Memphis.
The following is a list of the active and honorar.v pall-bearers selected
from among the personal friends of the deceased : Active — Ben H. Carr,
W. L. Wilcoxen, Will Pollard, J. D. Brown. George McSweyn, F. T.

Court Prefers Arbitration
Secretary W. W. Sehupner of the National Wholesale Liiinher Dealers'
Assneiatlon states that in a case pending before a southern court of a
substantial aitiount tlie two disputants have agreeil to submit their iliffer-
eiiees to the arbitration committee of the National association, with the
understandlnj; on the part of the U. S. Circuit Court that the award of the
arbitration eoniniittee will be accepted by tlie court, which will enter a
ruliuK confirniin^j; the award.
Since the annual meeting of the association in March requests have
been made for arbitration of several disputes. The committee has been
increased from seven to nine members, thereby enabling a more expeilitious
use of this association privilege, which has been advocated by the asso-
ciation from its incejition. and stands out as a most important membership
feature. 'I'he association was among the first to adopt contpulsory arbi-
tration covering disputes between members, and when, as rarely happens,
memliers havi- refused to comply with this seition of the by-laws, their
memberships have lieeii forfeited. The association arbitration procedure
is simple anil comprehensive, ami the business experience of the members
of thc> committee enables clear cut decisions, which have been of great help
to ntany members, ami the trustees expressed the desire that members
should avail themselves of the arbitration privilege whenever possible.
Evansville Lumbermen Frolic
The nimteeiith annual outing of the Kvaiisville ilud. I Lumbermen's
Club was held at the Kxpi>sition Park in that city Tuesday afternoon ami
evening June 21, and it was the largest and liest outing the club has
ever given. The outing was arranged by the president of the club. J. C.
Ureer of the J. C. (Jreer Lumber Company, and the entertainment com-
mittee that is lomposed of the following : (ius Bauman of the Maley &
Wertz Lumber Company, Joe Waltman of the Evansville Hand Mill Com-
pany, and Claude Wertz of the Maley & Wertz Lumber Company. This
is the lirst time in a number of years that the outing was not held on the
Ohio river, this being due to the fact that the city's finest excursion boat,
the Crescent, was destroyed l>y Hre last fall and no boat has yet been
secured to take the place of the Crescent.
The outing this year was attended by exactly 220 people. Arrangements
had bi'en made to take care of 2,111 people, but early in the afternoon a
rain came up and an electrical storm was threatened and this kept some
people away from the park. Everything in the park was free for the lum-
bermen and their friends during the afternoon and evening. The lumber-
men attended the various shows and concessions, rode on the roller
coaster, danced, played cards and did many other things to enjoy them-
selves. In the dance hall Iianiel Wertz of thi- Mab'v i: Wertz Lumber
Company proved to be the best man on his feet and he had a close second

pool and here is where George Foote of the Evansville Hand Mill Company

Hardwood News Notes
CHICAGO
The planing mills of Chicago are again operating after having been
dosed air tight for nearly two months. This is a result of the efforts
made since Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis of the Federal District Court
agreed to act as arbiter in the wage scale dispute in the building trades.
Judge Landis undertook the work with the understanding that the lockout
which tied up all Chicago building May 1 should be ended pending the
hearing of the disputants and the rendering of a decision. All the building
trades involved immediately went bat'k to work, but the carpenters held
out until June 20, when they agreed to return to work at their old scale
pending the decision. The old scale is $1.10 per hour for "inside" car-
penters and .?1.2o tor "outside" carpenters. The skilled workers in the
planing mills are rated as inside carpenters, hence the resumption of work
in these mills.
The luiilding program, which has been resumed as a result of Judge
Lauilis' .igreement to act as arbiter, is estimated to involve the expenditure
of ?1UO."UO,000.

Veneer and Panel Men Will "Carry on"
National Association Decides to Proceed with Advertising Campaign Despite
Severe Depression in Business; Grading Rules are Adopted Covering all
Woods Represented by Various Divisions of the National Body
J. T. Horne, Tuscaloosa
According to statements made at the
semi-annual meeting of the National Veneer
and Panel Manufacturers Association at the
Auditorium hotel, Chicago, June 14 and 15,
the veneer and plywood business is ex-
tremely slack in all sections, both as to pro-
duction and demand, logging as well as mill
operating.
Nevertheless, this meeting was character-
ized by progressive action, expressing in un-
mistakable terms the belief of the members
of the association in the early return of
normal activity to the industry. Chief of
this progressive action was the adoption of
the report and recommendations of the
Trade Extension Committee, which provides
for a national campaign of advertising to
cost not less than $50,000, to start in Sep-
tember.
The next important revelation of faith in
the future was the taking of definite steps to
carry out the decision made at the annual
meeting in December last to establish a na-
tional inspection rules bureau for veneers
and plywood. As a first and basic step tow^ard the creation of this
bureau the association adopted grading rules applying to all w^oods
represented by the various divisions of the associations. That is,
the rules of the Commercial Rotary Cut Gum Manufacturers Asso-
ciation of the South, as applying to gum w^oods, cypress, yellow
pine, sycamore and cottonwood, rules of the Plywood Manufac-
turers Association, rules of the northern birch club, which in-
cluded maple and other northern woods; quartered oak rules,
rotary oak rules and rotary poplar rules. In connection with the
adoption of the gum rules the sales code of the Commercial Rotary
Cut Gum Manufacturers Association was also adopted.
The rules adopted w^ere reported by the chairmen or members
of various committees selected to represent each w^ood or group
of woods. The report on the gum rules was read by Howard S.
Young, secretary of the National Veneer &c Panel Manufacturers
Association. O. C. Lemke reported the birch rules; D. E. Kline
the rotary oak rules, H. B. Sale, the poplar rules, and Lacy H.
Sergent for the plywood manufacturers association.
The plan for a national inspection bureau contemplates the
maintenance of an inspector to settle disputes for grades and rule
interpretations, as suggested by C. B. Allen of the Allen-Eaton
Panel Company of Memphis.
The decision to proceed with the national advertising campaign
was made after G. O. Worland, chairman of the trade extension
committee had described the wealth of material for effective veneer
and plywood advertising that the committee has been able to un-
cover during the past six months. The possibilities of developing
new fields for the use of veneers and plywoods through advertis-
ing are also surprisingly extensive Mr. Worland said. In this con-
nection he mentioned the fact that architects are already showing
interest in plywood panels for walls and expressed the firm belief
that there would some day be a big demand for such panels.
necessity of dropping the cognomen, as had
been considered, Mr. Worland said. This
research work demonstrated that veneering
is a fine art and has been such since before
the time of the Ptolemes. By digging into
such ancient chronicles as Pliny the his-
torian of Rome, and others, actual photo-
graphs were presented showing the veneer-
ing process as far back as the earliest
dynasties of Egypt. These photographs
w^ere exhaustive, covering the entire world
history of veneering. It was also shown
that the great master furniture craftsmen
of all time, ancient and modern, used veneer
to beautify and enhance the value of their
creations. All of this, Mr. Worland, said,
answers conclusively the misconception that
veneer is or ever has been a cheap substi-
tute for solid wood. Veneer is a first rate
cabinet making material, without which
some of the finest decorative effects in wood
work could not possibly be secured.
Agency Is Selected
Mr. Worland reported that the committee had selected the Con-
over-Mooney advertising agency of Chicago to handle the adver-
tising campaign. The contract with this agency specifies that it
is not to be considered binding unless William Clendenin, the mem-
ber of the agency's staff who conducted the preliminary research
work, is permitted to direct the campaign. This provision was
made, Mr. Worland said, because of the fine enthusiasm and
knowledge of the subject which Mr. Clendenin developed while on
the research assignment. The committee felt that the experience
which Mr. Clendenin gained in the research work would be inde-
spensable to the success of the campaign.
One thousand dollars was spent in this research work, which
Mr. Worland advanced out of his own pocket, and for which he
was reimbursed by the Plywood Manufacturers Association, which
is sharing the expense of the campaign with the National Veneer
& Panel Manufacturers Association. Accordingly, the N. V. 6c P.
association directed the treasurer to pay back $500 of the $1,000
spent. The treasury will be reimbursed out of the advertising
campaign fund.
The N. V. & P. M. association assumed the responsibility of rais-
ing $25,000 of the $50,000 that will be expended. It is expected
that $20,000 of this $25,000 will be raised among the members
of the association on the basis of Vi of 1 per cent of the total
sales during the year from July, 1920, to July, 1921. according
to a suggestion made by Mr. Allen. This will be collectable
quarterly.
The work of the trade extension committee terminated with the
delivery of Mr. Worland's report, but the association made him
chairman of a new committee to direct the actual campaign. C.
B. Allen and E. E. Hemmingway were selected to serve with him.
Home Discusses Conditions
The meeting was opened by J. T. Horne of Tuscaloosa, Ala.,
The information which the research work uncovered concern-
ing the ancient and honorable employment of veneer through the president of the association, who presided, and delivered his semi
ages had so dignified the name veneer that there would be no annual address. In this address Mr. Horne discussed general busi

ness conditions with particular references to conditions in the
veneer and plywood industry. "In our particular business,
veneer and plywood, and it is no exception to the general rule,
the demand for our product during the past six months has been
at the lowest point in the life time of the men who are here today,"
he said. "During a period of twenty-nine years in which we have
been actively engaged in the manufacture of some product from
timber, that the past nine months is the only time in the twenty-
nine years of our experience that we have been unable to sell our
product at some price. And 1 am quite sure that there are men
here today representing other mills who have found the same con-
ditions to contend with that we have. The principal reason there
has been no greater demand for our product is that during the
time our product was scarce and prices abnormally high, the buyers
of our stock seemingly bought everything in sight, regardless of
price, and piled their warehouses to the top with this high priced
material, and when the slump in prices came as we all knew it
would come — they were unable to dispose of their finished prod-
uct at a price based upon the cost of the raw material that would
let them out without an enormous loss, consequently their ware-
houses are still stocked with high priced veneers and panels, and
being unable to realize profit based on the
cost of their material, many of them are
closed down.
"I feel sure that some of us during the
past few months have quoted prices far be-
low the cost of production in an effort to
dispose of our output and keep our plants
in operation, and have met with but little
belter success than those of us who asked
a fair price for our product, as in either case
but a very small per cent of our normal
product has been sold."
Mr. Home said the foremost reason for
the adverse condition of supply and demand
in this country is due to the inability of
Europe to take our surplus. This situa-
tion can not be remedied, he said, until ar-
rangements are made to finance Europeans
so that they can buy to fill their really very
great needs. For this reason he declared
his opposition to a "prohibitive tariff on the
products of the old world." He said: "We
have almost one-half of all the gold in the
world and as has been said by one of our
leading financiers, there is such a thing as
having too much money. It is not so much
that we want their gold, but we want them
to buy our products, and they can only buy them as we are will-
ing to take their products from them, and 1 am sure right here is
where I get into trouble with some of you men when I state that
I do not believe the United States needs to put a prohibitive tariff
on the products of the Old World, and while it might help us as
manufacturers to have a tariff on lumber, I am not in favor of it,
for the reason that we need now in America millions of new
homes."
In closing his address, Mr. Home admonished the members in
the following terms: "If we leave this meeting with our mind
fully made up, each of us, that we are going back home and do
our very best to give employment to every man that we possibly
can; that we are going to co-operate with every other industry in
so far as we are able; that we are going to apply the golden rule
to business; that we are going to play the game squarely, by the
time we meet here in December I am sure that many of the dark
clouds that now hover over will have rolled away and we will all
return here with a more optimistic feeling than we have today."
Conditions by Sections
Further first hand information on conditions in the veneer and
plywood industry was given to the association by representatives
G. O. Worland, Evansville, Ind.; Chairman of
Committee to Direct National Advertising
Campaign
of various sections who were called on by President Home. The
gist of the reports was that the great majority of the mills in
every section are closed, that there is little veneer timber cut in
any section and virtually none being cut. Speaking for the south-
western section, G. W. Sparks of Des Arc, Ark., said that so far
as he could ascertain there are only some 727,000 feet of veneer
logs in the south. Of these, ten mills have about 327,000 feet,
and one other mill 400,000 feet, which they are not going to cut.
There are practically no veneer logs in Arkansas, he said, and no
logging is being done for veneer logs anyvvhere in the south.
Virtually all mills in the south are down.
Reporting for the southeast, President Home said he made in-
quiries at twenty-six plants in the southwest and southeast and
of these only one mill had 400,000 feet of veneer logs sunk.
Virtually all the mills replied that they w^ere down or would be
down within the next few w^eeks. He did not know of one mill
in central or southern Alabama that is logging for veneer purposes.
Mills are all down, all without logs and nobody is cutting fresh
timber.
Relative to the states of Michigan and Wisconsin, Mr. Hemming-
way said that while most of the birch cutting mills of the north
have a fair supply of logs on hand, due to
the winter logging custom, practically every
mill is down and has been down for several
weeks. Some plants that have the facilities
to do so are turning their veneer timber into
lumber. Mr. Hemmingway called attention
to the fact that w^hile the northern mills h^ve
a good supply of veneer logs cut these will
not deteriorate as rapidly as they would in
the south and consequently can be held much
longer w^ithout loss.
J. H. Ross of Medford, Wis., confirmed Mr.
Hemmingway's report of conditions.
F. C. Rice reported that conditions in the
northeast are just about as they are in the
south and other sections.
Fred C. McCracken of Louisville, Ky.,
called attention to the fact that the cost of
veneer logs has advanced and said that when
the members of the association try to replace
the timber that they have recently cut they
will find that it will cost them more th^n
formerly.
The discussion of conditions was capped
off by B. W. Lord of the Chicago Veneer
Company, Chicago, who w^arned against the
damage that accrues to the industry by try-
ing to force demand. "When there is small demand and large
supply, w^hat good does it do to force your goods on the market?"
he asked. "It is not good policy to force business. A great
deal of veneer and plywood stock is being sold at less than cost
or replacement cost. You must remember that the veneer and
panel business is done on a generally rising market, owing to the
continual decrease in supply of raw materials. Therefore, if every-
one keeps as quiet as possible it will be a benefit to all."
Mr. Lord told his audiences that they must get down to an efficient
and economic basis if they want to stay in business and compete
with European manufacturers of veneer and plywoods, who are
efficient and economical. Then he gave three rules by which
improvement might be made: "1. Don't force business. 2. Get
your business down to the most economical and efficient basis
possible. 3. Co-operate with your fellow men in all lines *and
help to improve all business."
Mr. Lord said demand for manufactured products is slow in
returning because the retailers are holding up liquidation. They
are stocked up w^ith high priced goods, which they are not willing to
mark down to replacement levels. They are holding this stock

Controlling Moisture in Lumber and Veneers
Jlci'-f>resident, Forest Products En^hieeriri;^ Company, (Jhica^o
The title of the subject, which your secretary has permitted me
to select, indicates to my mind by far the greatest cause for the
many difficulties and astoundinj^ losses encountered in the man-
ufacture and use of lumber and veneers.
Unquestionably the greatest stimulus toward the solution of
these important problems was created by the government through
the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wis. Un-
controvertible facts now make possible a full solution of the
many problems encountered, and provide a fundamental knowl-
edge with which to proceed and prove in practice much that
has been unknowingly and unjustly termed "impractical theory."
In order to make this discussion as clear as possible to every-
one, I have deemed it advisable to construct a foundation of
facts, some of which may seem more or less elementary to
those among you who have studied this important subject.
It is a well known fact that a single fibre of wood will not change
its shape to any appreciable extent unless it imbibes moisture
when it will expand, or unless it gives up moisture, in which
event it will shrink. It follows then that the degree of expan-
sion or shrinkage of the single fibre is multiplied in almost direct
ratio to the number of fibres in a board or piece of veneer of
any particular size. The thermal expansion and contraction Js
so slight that for our purpose we can ignore it entirely.
We first must deal with the natural, inherent moisture of
our timber as it is manufactured into lumber or veneers.
In manufacturing veneers this problem is more simple, since
you receive your logs nearly green from the tree and, therefore,
practically all shrinkage resulting from evaporation of moisture
is within your control. To take advantage of this requires
thorough knowledge of what takes place in lumber and veneers
while the moisture is being reduced.
Surprising Moisture Content
Many manufacturers express astonishment when they learn
that some species of wood contain 200 per cent moisture in their
green state. Certain species contain even more, 250 per cent
being near the limit.
This moisture is contained in two known forms: Free and
Fibre moisture. The former is contained in the open cells or
pores of the wood and constitutes the bulk of the total moisture.
The latter is contained in the actual fibrous structure of the
w^ood and with the exception of a few species of wood can be
safely stated to be about thirty per cent.
A sharp distinction must be drawn between Free and Fibre
moisture since all the shrinkage occurring in the elimination of
moisture occurs during the reduction of Fibre Moisture, and after
the Free Moisture has been evaporated. This is quite general,
but there are, however, a few exceptions to the rule with which
w^e will not deal here.
Expansion of dry lumber and veneers can only take place when
the moisture content is raised, but again, no further expansion
takes place when the Fibre Saturation, that is thirty per cent,
has been reached.
We now reach the conclusion that all so-called "working" in
wood takes place during changes of moisture content betw^een
oven dry and up to thirty per cent, or Fibre Saturation, with the
exceptions previously mentioned.
Just what chemical and certain physical changes take place
during moisture changes is not definitely known, but we are really
more interested in the structural changes and this has now been
solved to a near state of perfection.
*A talk before the .Watiomtl Fencer & Panel Manufacturers' Association in
conz'ention at Chicago, June 14, 19^1.
Ihe fundamental principles of reducing and controlling moisture
in veneers are identical with those applied to lumber, the only
practical difference being that lumber requires more time and in
approximate ratio to thickness.
In working lumber you purchase your w^aste by cutting off the
checked ends of boards and planing a 4/4" piece do\vn to 5/8",
if it will not make I 1/16" or 3 4" core or other dimension stock.
With veneers you lose through checking and principally through
severe "buckling" and consequent breakage.
Guessing Wastes Veneers
In the past w^e have talked of kiln drying lumber in terms of
time in days required to dry a certain kind and thickness, with-
out knowing the moisture content of the stock before placing it
in the kiln, either guessing at the final moisture content, or, as
in many other cases, making erroneous tests. Very few man-
ufacturers are doing this correctly at the present time. Much
less is being done in the control of moisture in veneers. They
are usually dried by mere guess work, and herein lies perhaps
the greatest source of loss.
It is decidedly incorrect to reduce veneers to an oven-dry
state, because they cannot possibly remain flat when they again
imbibe moisture. Considering the fact that any piece of lumber
or veneer is made up of innumerable fibres and that these are
distributed very non-uniformly, at the same time accepting for
the moment the theory that any one fibre has approximately the
same power to imbibe and give up moisture as another, it be-
comes quite apparent that board and, more especially, a sheet
or piece of veneer, cannot possibly remain flat during moisture
changes unless it is held or rather stressed into a flat position.
Naturally the particular spot in an over- dried piece containing
the greatest number of fibres, in other words the most dense spot.
will take on the greatest amount of moisture and thereby very
obviously v^'ill produce local expansion, more commonly know^n
as a "buckle."
No doubt you have all noticed a greater depression around a
knot in a dried board. This is undoubtedly due to a greater
density of fibres around the knot, each having given up its ow^n
share of moisture and consequently proportionately greater shrink-
age has occurred. This is a somewhat exaggerated example of
the non- uniform density of timber and, for that matter, a sheet
of veneer may have no knots at all and yet "buckle" beyond a
point to which it would be practical to use it without further
treatment.
Directions of Shrinkage
Other causes of unequal shrinkage are due to the natural
general formation of fibres in the tree. A very good example
of this can be observed in any telephone line pole. This shrink-
age is evident in the form of large checked openings on the outer
surface w^hich grow smaller toward the heart of the tree. A
single board, cut from any particular portion in the tree and
left to dry out without piling or providing some other method
to hold it in a straight position while drying, will shrink very
nearly as indications would suggest in the telephone line pole.
This indicates two directions of shrinkage w^hich \ve need to con-
sider here ; they are commonly known as radial and tangential.
For practical purposes longitudinal shrinkage need not be con-
sidered except that it must be recognized in panel constructions
known as concealed or exposed crossings and in all banded types.
The radial direction in a quartersa^vn board is with its width,
while the tangential direction is through its thickness. Lumber

August Sales May Enliven Grand Rapids
Dealers in hardwood lumber in Grand Rapids are spending most
of this summer fishing and the fishing is little better than the
lumber market so as a general rule these fellows are all out of
luck. The fact is so far as it pertains to lumber that practically no
hardwood lumber is being shipped into the Grand Rapids fur-
niture district at all. The dealers* yards are full and have been
for a considerable time and little is going out of the yards. The
furniture factories' yards are full of lumber and their warehouses
are full of furniture. They need no more lumber so why not go
fishing — if only the fish would bite.
The situation is well summed up in the following statement
made by one of the largest dealers in hardwoods in Grand Rapids,
a man who makes a particular specialty of furnishing the furniture
factories with hardwoods, particularly of native growth.
"I have never known the hardwood situation to be quite as flat
as it is right at this time. As a result I spend most of my time
on the trout streams where the fish don't bite much better than
the furniture manufacturers do. The furniture men made a mis-
take in January and I told them in advance they were going to.
I urged them to put down their prices. They figured they could
keep them up by bringing out new patterns. They tried it and
they failed. The result is, that except for about four manufacturers
who did do as 1 suggested, their warehouses are now filled with
furniture which remains unsold. Therefore I can't sell any lumber.
"This situation is extremely bad. The lumber market is entirely
demoralized. The prices on all lumber have been cut in the last
nine months all the way from 60 to 75 per cent and on some
grades and some kinds I am offering prices at below the pre-war
price. Still I can't sell it because the furniture manufacturers
can't use it.
"But not only are lumber prices demoralized but furniture
prices are in even "worse condition. It is an admitted fact that
many furniture manufacturers are selling their products at below
cost and unless this coming market serves to stabilize prices some-
body is going to find himself in the bankruptcy courts before long.
They can't go on making furniture at a loss forever. However,
! look for a hardening of the market once it is under way but it
will be on a basis of rock bottom price which the buyer will either
have to pay or go without and the factories will be forced to close
down.
"The hardwood lumber situation is dead all over. Most of the
southern mills are not running and outside that lumber which
goes into furniture those of us deal in hardwoods alone are having
our troubles because of the disinclination on the part of the general
dealer to sell building material unless he also sells the interior
trim. The hardwood man is certainly out of luck these days.
So far as the furniture situation is concerned this lumber dealer
has the dope just right. The demoralization in furniture prices
which followed upon the heels of the January market is general
everywhere in the industry. The National Alliance of Case Goods
Manufacturers is making an energetic attempt to put prices back
upon an even keel. It is admitted everywhere that a lot of goods
has been and still is being sold at prices below the cost of pro-
duction. All the members of this association have been urged to
make inventory as of June 1 and to fix the prices for the July
market on the basis of that inventory. A large number of the
manufacturers have replied that they are agreeable to this and will
do so. They add that having placed a fair margin of profit on their
merchandise based upon this inventory, they will either get that
price for their goods or quit manufacturing until the dealers are
ready to buy. If they follow this plan to the letter and stand pat
when the bears begin to work in the market the effect will be to
stabilize prices and put the furniture industry back again out of
its present chaotic condition and make it a paying industry
once more.
Probably the chief reason for the present demoralization is due
to rumors which float through the furniture industry in never end-
ing stream. Most of them — officers of the National Alliance figure
90 per cent of them — have no foundation in fact. They arise
generally from a class of dealers who are looking for something
cheap. These refuse one salesman's merchandise telling him that
somebody else is doing so and so. The salesman communicates w^ith
his house and the manufacturer in many instances feels it is up
to him to meet the competition and cuts the price accordingly.
A checking up of these rumors prove most of them to be without
foundation but perhaps the damage has been done before the
checking up.
The rumor business usually centers about the several markets.
The Jamestown manufacturer is told what the Grand Rapids
manufacturer is doing and the Grand Rapids manufacturer is told
a fairy story about what they are doing in Rock ford or Chicago
and so it goes. The July market in Grand Rapids and Chicago
will serve to set at rest the great majority of these rumors for
the manufacturers will all be together and the buyers will have the
opportunity to learn first hand just what prices are. If no furniture
at all is bought the market will have served a most useful purpose
by thus setting at rest the rumors and all will tend tow^ard stabiliz-
ing prices and so making the industry prosperous once more.
August Is a Star of Hope
Of course all eyes are now turned toward the .August sales. If
the dealers feel that August sales will bring success they will buy
heavily at the market. If they are still skeptical, the buying will
more likely be light. The Grand Rapids market which is always
the barometer both as to conditions and prices w^ill set the prices
which other manufacturers will follow. If during the four w^eeks
of this market sufficient confidence is generated in the dealers'
dynamos all the industry will profit by the sales which will result.
Financial dopes ters are quite of the opinion that business will
begin to pick up about August I. If their guesses are at all correct
the August sales by dealers will be successful and factories w^ill
quickly feel it in increased orders. Business in the factories during
the last few months has run about as follows the country over:
January and February very bad indeed. March and April about
60 per cent of normal. May about an even break and the first half
of June about the same. Now comes the market opening June 27
and that will largely determine what is to happen in the furniture
industry for the balance of the year.
Evansville Trade Is Quiet
Trade is rather quiet with the furniture manufacturers at Evans-
ville, Ind., at the present time, but they are of the opinion that
the market that is to be given late in August will have the effect
of stimulating the trade to some extent. A month or so ago there
was a marked improvement in the furniture trade at Evansville
and the manufacturers reported at that time that conditions in
the east were improving rapidly and that it was but a question of
time until the change for the better would be felt in the middle
west, south and southwest. But during the past month there has
been a sort of lull in the trade and conditions in the south are
still bad. due to the fact that cotton is not moving at all and there
can be no permanent prosperity in that section until cotton moves,
it is pointed out. While the manufacturers report that they are
getting some orders, trade has not picked up as briskly as they
had hoped to see it. The plants are being operated on an average
of forty-five hours a week and in some instances the factories
are running as high as fifty hours a ^veek. The factories a month
ago were in the market for considerable gum and quartered white
oak and the demand was quite brisk for a while, but recently the
factories have quit buying lumber almost altogether. The out-
look is not as bright as it was a month ago, although the manu-
facturers believe that things will pick up again.

shrinks approximately twice as inuch in the tangential direction
as indicated in telephone line pole example.
Since the wood is quite elastic, it is entirely possible to dry it
in a straight condition without producing any other ill effects
aside from natural shrinkage.
In other words, lumber and veneers must be held and stressed
in a straight, flat position while the moisture is being reduced to
exact requirements.
The solution of this problem lies in having at all times an exact
knowledge of the atmospheric conditions throughout the drying
period and during the process of manufacture. It is common
knowledge that oven-dry lumber and veneer will imbibe or pick
up moisture from the air, but to be exact, we must know just
how much it will pick up. When the product ceases to give up
or take on any further moisture, it is said to be in equilibrium
with the atmosphere.
An impirical term which we have coined for this condition is
E. M. C, meaning Equilibrium Moisture Content.
Musi Know Plants E. M. C.
It is well recognized that the E. M. C. changes not only from
one season of the year to another and would be different in
various localities, but also needs to be known in the individual
plant: however, it is entirely practical to work out standard dry-
ing and moisture control practice based entirely on this condition.
Once you have determined the average E. M. C. in your plant,
you know definitely to what moisture content your stock must be
reduced. Adjustments may need to be made during seasonable
changes, especially in the colder climates where we are required
to reduce the outside atmosphere already low in relative humidity,
by heating it to a comfortable working temperature in the plant.
Some consideration must also be given the nature of the product,
its use and where used, so that under certain circumstances it
would be advisable to control the E. M. C. during the entire year.
This would not, however, be common practice, since there is
another factor working in our favor at all times, which is the
particular type of construction used in panels, furniture, and, for
that matter, all wood-work composed of more than one piece,
which will permit balancing of stresses, shrinkage and swelling.
In establishing the E. M. C. for your particular plant and prod-
uct, it is first necessary to make extensive tests. These can be
made by taking a number of oven dry cross section pieces of 4/4"
board about 1 /4" in the direction of the grain and suspending
them in different rooms in your plant. After a few days they can
be tested in the same manner as ordinary tests on lumber would
be made to determine the moisture. The results of repeated fre-
quent tests w^ili permit you to work out an average E. M. C. w^hich
can be generally maintained at least during our extreme opposite
seasons, summer and winter, providing of course that your entire
product or a valuable portion thereof is not shipped to an extreme
climate, in which event the E. M. C. would need to be adjusted
to make up for at least a portion of the change. As an example,
a manufacturer of furniture whose plant is located in Denver, Colo.,
where the E. M. C in the open is very low, would get into much
difficulty if he shipped his product overseas, unless he made pro-
vision to hold the moisture content of his material and finished
product proportionately higher. I do not mean by this that the
product w^ould need to contain anything as high as the E. M. C.
on ship-board as this would be 1 8 per cent or more. The exact
E. M. C. in this case would be dependent upon conditions at final
destination, the construction of the product and its intended use.

Stabilization Is Key to July
Market
Stabilization of prices for the July markets has been the key-
note of the recent meetings of various furniture trade associations.
including the National Council of Furniture Associations, held
in Chicago and elsew^here.
The National Council, which met at the Drake Hotel, Chicago,
on June 15, adopted this resolution:
"Be it resolved that it is the sense of the meeting of the National
Council of Furniture Associations in session on June 15, 1921,
that the following recommendation be conveyed to each secretary
of the members of this respective organization of furnitui"e
manufacturers:
"(a) We recommend that furniture manufacturers refigure
their costs very carefully prior to the July market.
(b) Such costs should be figured on the basis of present
market of labor and materials, and on the basis of normal operation.
(c) Selling prices established on that basis should be made
as low as you are convinced it is possible to make them including
a fair margin of profit.
(d) If the foregoing suggestions are carried out by every
furniture manufacturer, there will be no change in prices during
the sales season approaching.**
Leaders of the furniture industry are convinced that the success
or failure of the July market depends upon whether or not prices
are stabilized when the market opens. Investigations of the
retail branch of the industry have shown that the retailers are
ready to do business on the July market, provided they can be
convinced that prices have been placed upon the new normal
basis and will not continue downward. The retailers have dis-
posed of the bulk of the "distressed" and "close out" stocks
offered by manufacturers earlier in the period of depression. They
have been buying in good volume for the past sixty days, better
during the last thirty than the first thirty, indicating a steady

An Open Letter to Veneer and Plywood Makers
The committee which was selected by the National Veneer &
Panel Manufacturers Association, at its semi-annual meeting in
Chicago on June 14, to direct a $50,000 campaign of national
advertising, has issued an open letter to veneer and plywood manu-
facturers in this and the Plywood Manufacturers Association,
asking their support of the campaign. This letter was signed by
G. O. Woriand of the Evansville Veneer Company, Evansville, Ind.,
who was named chairman of the Plywood Trade Extension Com-
mittee. The letter follows :
Gentlemen:
That there is an over-production of veneer and plywood, is a
recognized fact. We must reach out beyond our present source
of consumation and stimulate the desire and demand for our
product.
The public must be educated as to what veneer and plywood
really is. We must remove the prejudice that exists, and to the
ultimate buying public prove that veneer and plywood construction
is a modern and superior construction, that adds beauty, strength
and lasting qualities to the finished product in w^hich it is used, and
removes a possibility of splitting, shrinking, swelling and warping.
All objection to veneer and plywood as used in its primitive
application can be and is being overcome, and the consuming public
must be educated to that fact. When this is done, we can be
sure of increased demand for our product, and many new uses
can be found for it if we will by concerted effort go after them.
Substitutes are continually after us, why let them gain trade
that might be ours by going after it? Steel and other metals,
fiber board, wall boards and various compositions, have all taken
a very substantial amount of trade from our industry, when a
goodly part of it might have been prevented, had we had a trade
extension organization.
It does not follow that the adoption of substitutes for wood and
veneer plywood was on account of superiority, but in most in-
stances rather on account of publicity engaged in on the part
of substitutes, and a lack of organized effort to present our
counter argument.
The most striking instance of superiority of plywood construc-
tion over all competition was in the airplane, where plywood won
on its merits solely, and through no associated assistance of our
industry. Since this victory of plywood, there has been an im-
mense interest awakened on the part of the automobile trade for
tops, bodies, dashes, wheels, etc., as well as by other trades that
begin to see possibilities.
Our substitute competition is aware of this, and a number of
them are organized to fight for their products. If we want it
we must enter into the lists and present our case.
The opportunity for the architectural and standardized wood
panel for interior decoration is ripe for us, and needs only organ-
ized effort to secure. With modern methods of application and
special moldings, this may be made a very attractive field for vol-
ume, as it will be stock material that can be manufactured in antici-
pation of orders, instead of specially ordered, as most of our busi-
ness now is.
There are numerous inquiries now being made as to the pos-
sibility of plywood for new uses, and with a centralized bureau,
these may be followed up, research be made, and the use of our
product extended.
The law of supply and demand is as immutable as the sun
and moon, as regards the value of our product. There is already
established a capacity for overproduction for present needs and
demand. Not only would it be illegal, but impossible to curtail

increase in their needs. Statistics carefully compiled by associa-
tions of manufacturers show that manufacturers' sales during May
iiveraged around 75 per cent of normal in volume, though money
value, of course, did not average near so high, as prices have gone
down nearly forty per cent.
All of this indicates that the July markets offer a great op-
portunity to manufacturers of furniture to revive business on a
normal scale, provided they inventory and reflgure their costs
on the new basis of cheaper materials and labor, placing prices
as low as they can be placed and give a fair profit. This will prevent
fluctuation of prices on the market and give the market the stability
that will convince the retailer that it is safe to buy. Everything is
said to depend on this.
At the seventh mass meeting of Living Room Table Manufac-
turers in Chicago, June 14, at the Auditorium Hotel, M. Wulpi,
commissioner, gave a diagnosis of present conditions in the living
room table industry, in which he reported that the Furniture
Council's recommendation for June inventory had been favorably
acted upon by a number of living room table, dining table and
piano bench manufacturers. He urged the necessity of knowing
the actual situation in order to make a correct and safe stand
in the July market. There must be a stable market in July for
renewal of production and business, he said. He told the manu-
facturers they must get off the present "dead center."
Before the close of their meeting the Living Room Table Manu-
facturers adopted a resolution saying "that in the opinion of manu-
facturers present, and in view of conditions existing, it w^ill be
necessary and essential that manufacturers go into the July market
with definite prices, based on safe costs and that said prices be
then maintained and no reduction made therefrom.
West Baden, Ind.. was selected as the place for the next mass
meeting, which will be held iri Septeniber on a day to be selected
by the Executive Committee.
In his report of the thirteenth mass meeting of the National
Association of Piano Bench & Stool Manufacturers, Niagara, On-
tario, June 9- 1 0, Mr. Wulpi said present complications of the
valuation commission indicate about a 16 per cent increased cost
between product of present 60 per cent and normal.
Mr. Wulpi also urged in this industry the necessity of the half-
yearly inventory as a guide to needs of the July market.
iContiutifd from fHujv 40)
production by associated control, but we can by united effort and
co-operation increase the demand in our present markets as well
as new markets to be created.
This is not an idle dream, but is following the successful cam-
paigns as worked out by numerous industries in the past, which
have been carefully studied and are sure results.
No one, nor any few concerns, can be expected to carry on a
campaign of educational endeavor or trade extension work for
the entire industry, but by associating ourselves into one bureau
under one management, the financing will not be burdensome,
and the benefit, whether direct or indirect, will be reflected in
the industry as a whole, and each of us will secure his share.
As the demands catch up with the supply, it will naturally
follow that the price of our commodity will be in keeping with i*^s
value, that our plants be kept up to normal operating capacity, and
our market stabilized.
We have drifted with the tide, buffeted about by public ignorance
and indifference as to our product, with no sail and no objective
port.
Supposing that we overhaul our boat, hoist the sails of educa-
tion, advertising and determination, and start for the port of
Greater New Business in the good ship Plywood Trade Exten-
sion Bureau.
Yours truly,

hoping to "catch enough suckers'* to get rid of it. But naturally
the suckers come slowly.
Buyers Grow Conservative
The next two or three years will be an era of conservative buy-
ing, in marked contrast to the period of reckless buying that has
just passed, Mr. Lord said. To begin with the city workers and
farmers who spent so lavishly will not have the money to continue
that practice and furthermore everyone will have learned a lesson
of thrift from this period of depression and those that have money
will spend very cautiously.
In opening his address, Mr. 'Lord described present conditions in
the veneer and plywood industry by citing tw^o incidents. The
scene of incident No. ! was at Rockford, 111., where a veneer sales-
man the other day counted sixteen other veneer salesmen in that
town the same day. Incident No. -2 occurred at the convention,
a veneer manufacturer during the morning session having made
an unsuccessful attempt to get a dime changed.
Mr. Lord made a report of his work as national councillor to the
Chamber of Commerce of the United States, during which he dis-
cussed current business problems and arranged to secure the votes
of the members on Referendum No. 36, regarding forms of Fed-
eral taxation. He had copies of this referendum distributed among
the members and asked that they study it and give him their
opinions by mail, so that he might cast the vote of the association,
according to the majority opinion.
D. E. Kline and C. B. Allen reported on the complaint filed by
a special traffic committee of the association before the Interstate
Commerce Commission to put into effect the findings of the com-
mission in Docket No. 81 3 L This order, which was issued by the
I. C. C. in 1919, provides that all plain veneer shall take the same
rate as thin lumber; figured veneer 15 per cent above the lumber
rate, common plywood 1 0 per cent over lumber and figured ply-
wood ! 5 per cent over lumber. But owing to the financial needs
of the railroads, the I. C. C. has consistently refused to enforce
the order, though acknowledging the justice of the rating. Per-
suasion was tried w^ithout results and now the Southern Hardwood
Traffic Association has filed and is pushing a formal complaint to
force Docket No. 8 1 3 I into effect. Expense of this litigation
($3,000) is being borne jointly by the U. V. & P. Manufacturers*
Association and the Plyw^ood Association.
Mr. Allen said that the operation of this order would be one of
the most important things that could happen to the industry, as it
would mean the saving of tremendous sums of money in freight.
The fight, he said, is already virtually won.
The members enjoyed a buffet luncheon at noon and in the
evening the semi-annual dinner was held at the South Shore Coun-
try Club.
Appointed Canadian Agent
Robert Bury & Company, Toronto, have been appointed Cana-
dian sales and distributing agents for the Waterville Veneer &
Panel Company, of Waterville, P. Q. The latter company some
time ago bought out George Gale & Son, and are makers of all
kinds of veneers and panels in all the leading Canadian woods
such as maple, birch, elm, ash and basswood. The plant is thor-
oughly equipped in every respect and has excellent facilities.
Among the installations are three lathes, one of which can cut
rotary veneer up to 120" long. In the panel factory only water-
proof glue is used. Robert Bury & Co. are not only handling the
product of the Waterville plant for the Dominion and the United
States, but also in the old country as well, stock being carried
at London, Liverpool and at Burton-on-Trent.

was every prospect that the demand from this source would continue, as
the factories had plenty of orders for furniture in hand.

Governor Davis has signed the three bills providing for reforestation and
p'rotcction of present state forests which were passed by the last session of
the Ohio General .\ssembly, fathered by Representative Silver of Preble
county. The three bills for the first time in the history of the Buckeye

the incorporators are George Heinicke and L. W. Rinear.
F. B. Pryor, sales manager of the W. M. Rltter Lumber Company, reports
a fair business, although orders are far from being normal. "The volume of
business is about the same as it has been, if the small business can be
styled under the name of volume," he said. "Inquiries are still coming
in fairly well. Retailers are the best customers at this time, although
some buying is being done by coal mining concerns. Prices are fairly
steady at previous levels."
E. M. Stark, vice-president and treas\irer of the American Column &
Lumber Company, reports conditiotis in the hardwood trade as rather
quiet. Inquiries are rather numerous, some of which are live ones. The
best feature, according to Mr. Stark, is the fact that manufacturing con-
cerns have used up their reserves of harilwooils, and consequently if they
continue operations will have to come into the market.

for manufacture and reshipped to points north, east and west of the city
on the basis of the through rate from the point of origin to iinal <lGsti-
nation, plus transit charge of 2Vj cents per 100 pounds. The Southern
Railway now has in effect at Cincinnati rules of a simihir nature, but
restricted as to points of origin and destinations so that they are not

the lumber interests have been after the Southern Railway to estal>lish for
the past two years is one which will be of great benelit to the lumbermen
in Cincinnati and territory.

in the management of the Wolflin West Side Lumber Company. T'ntil
recently young Wolflin was connected with a large lumber company at
Minneapolis, Minn., but returned to Evansville to arrange for his approach-

well known to the trade in southern Indiana.
It is expected more logs will be gotten out in the camps along iJreen
and Barren rivers in .Tuly and August than during the previous months
of this year. Most of the logs will be rafted here for the local mills.
The journeymen carpenters and bricklayers at Evansville, Ind., will
accept a cut in wages amounting to 14 per cent under their scale that
prevaile<l last year. This was the decision of the board of arbitration
that was appointed some time ago to fix the wage scale for most of the
building trades in Evansville. On the first of last April the building
trades of Evansville went out on a strike after the contractors had madi'
an announcement that the wages of the men would be cut 20 per cent
under that of the scale of 1920. The men had not been out long until
they agreed to submit their case to a board of arbitration. The under-
standing was at the time that the cut in wages would not be less than
10 per cent nor more than 20 per cent of last year's scale. The contractors
selected Frank II. Hatfield, attorney, as their member of the board of
arbitration, while the building trades selected Albert J. Veneman, also an
attorney. Mr. Ilatflebl and Mr. Veneman in return selected the Rev. A. E.
Craig, pastor of the Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, as the third
member and he was named as chairman of the board. The board heard
evidence on both sides of the case. They announced in their decision that
they thought a reduction of 14 per cent would be Just to both sides. It is
expected that practically all the other building trades of the city will
accept reductions in wages amounting to 14 per cent.
Lumber and furniture manufacturers at Evansville, Iml., took a leading
part In the special election held in Evansville on Thursday. .Tune 17, to
vote on the question of the city manager form of government for Evans-
ville. The proposition was defeated at the ratio of two to one. Now that
the city nmnager propi)sition has been disjiosed of the people of Evansville
will hold their regular election in the coming Xovend)er. This will be
especially interesting to the lumber and furniture world when it is known
that Mayor Benjamin Bossc, Democrat, is opposed in the election b,v J. S.
Hopkins. Ma.yor Bosse is at the head of the Globe-Bosse-World Furniture
Company and is associated with many more large wood consuming com
panics, while :\Ir. Hopkins is manager of the Never-Split Seat Company
of Evansville. Mayor Bosse is also Democratic state chairman for Indiana.
MEMPHIS
W. E. Nickey, of the Green River Lumber Company and Nickey Bros.,
Inc.. has returned from an extended trip to Los Angeles and other Pacific
coast points. lie says that, when he left that territory, business was
decidedly better than in the South.
Nicke.v Bros., Inc. are operating their veneer plant on part time on
cypress veneers. They are runiung their sawmills only enough to cut the
flitches from which the veneers are produced.
Jas. E. Stark & Co., Inc., announce that their mill at Pyersburg, Tenn,,
closed down Saturday, June 18, and that their mill at Memphis will close
down at the end of the current week. This is a direct result of completion
t»f the cemversion of logs on hand int<t lund»er. >Ir. Stark. presi<lent of the
firm, is authority for the stalcmcnt that the liaiid mill at Dyersburg will
remain down indefinitely, while the mill at Memphis will be operated inter-
mittently during the remainder of the year. This is due to the fact that
the firm has a timber contract requiring removal of a certain amount of
timber during 1!I21. Aside from taking care of this particular timber, the
company is nmking no preparation for g(*tting out logs or for conducting
milling operations.
The closing down of these two mills is a striking illustration of what
is happening at other points in this territory. It is regarded as practically
certain that mttre mills have closed down during the past thirty days in
Memphis anil the Memphis territory than have resumed operations. This
nutans that the output of hardwoo<l lumber has ib-creascd rather than
increased. It also means that the produi'tion of southern hardwoods is at
the lowest ebb in the history of the trade at this time of the year. Some
members of the trade estimate that hardwood output is not more than 15
per cent of normal, while some others i)lace their figures even lower.
This is the time of the year when there is ustially very great activit.v
in getting out logs and in making jireparations for late summer and early
fall production. But. even so. thiu'e is almost uotbing being accomplished
in this direction. The few firms \v1k> are going aliead with their manu-
facturing operations and who are proilucing the bulk of the lumber at the
moment are ne<'essarlly going ahead with their timber operations. The
vast majority, however, are doing practically nothing. It is pointe<l out
that soinetliing like sixty to ninety da.vs would be required to supply the
nulls with timber for fall operations and it is beginning to be quite gen-
erally realized that, even if logging should start up in the near future.

The lumber trade is not yet satisfied that the last word has been said
in connection with the sales tax on lumber, provided for in the finance
minister's budget. The amendment introduced by Sir Henry Drayton
reduced the sales tax from three to two per cent, payable by the manu-
facturer. At least one and a half per cent must be charged on the invoice,
according to a government ruling. The whtdesaler is not require)! U> take
out a license and there is no further tax after the manufacturers* sale.
This is a very material concession to the lumber trade, compared with the
original [)roposals. However, the wholesale interests are not satisfied with
the three-quarters of the tax being passed im to them by the manufacturers.
It is recognized that the consumer buys the tax eventually, at least un<ler
ntirmal market con il it ions. However, representative whob-salers object
that it is most unfair to permit manufacturers to collect the tax from
them, because they are operating on a small margin and are taking heavy
losses on stock that depreciated in value during the last few months.

A plan has been worked out by the Canadian .Mr Board wbereliy the
Air Board will loan the necessary aircraft for forestry patro! by any luiii
bering firms that desire to carry on experiments during the summer
months. One pulp and paper company operating on the Lake-of-the-Wnuds
area has already made apiilicatitm for a lighter-than-air machine and one
will be shipped immediately. The Air Board has eight machines whicli
they propose to devote to the lumber industry. They have a gas-carrying
capacity sufficient to propel them for Iti hours, so that the ditticuity of
finding landing places in a forest area is greatly overcome.
The announcement of the likelihood of the United States Congress
including in its permanent tariff bill a duty of twenty-five per cent on
Canadian lumber caused keen interest in Canadian lumber circles. The
general opinion in the trade appeare<l t<) be tliat Canadian lumber interests
might find a temporary dislocation of their export market. One leading
Toronto lundierman pointi'd out that from a natitmal point of view.
Canada need not resent the addition of this trade barrier, because luml'cr
is a commodity the Unitet! States must have and has not got. in suffieiml
quantities, at home. As in the case of pulpwood, Canada is an indispensa-

hie sotirc*' of supply, and exhaustion of h<ime statnis will but lead more
fjiiickly to complete dependence on Canadian forests for lumber. Tem-
porarily a( any rate the imposition of a heavy duty on lumber would inter-
• fere considerably with Canadian shipments, especially from British Colum-
bia. It woulil mean cheaper lumber for the Canadian consumer. It is
pointed out that the United States has left only one-fourth of its original
forest area, and much of this is ditiicult to get at. Lumber in the United
States would go up in price and tlius even up the customs levy on imports.
The high freight charges have checlted considerably the bringing of British
Columbia lumlier to Eastern Canada, but the whole British Columbia
Intlustry has l)een founded on the prairie demand nortii and south of the
border. The lumberman referred to above stated that the rate of which
the Canadian forest resources have been depleted has been alarming enough
to make Canadians consider reforestation also, and a lessened demand
from the I'liited States would not be an unmixed evil.
The i;all l.umlier Company. Toronto, reports that dry kiln facilities,
which arc capable of handling 300,000 feet a month, are very busy at the
present time on drying oak and birch, the latter for the trade In Michigan
and the former for local requirements. They say that the demancl for all
kinds !»f Canadian and .\mericiin hardwoods is limitt-"d, altliough some buy-
ing is going on all the time. .Agricultural Implement factories have been
using considerable elm and maple and taking deliveries on contracts made
last year. .\11 woodworking plants, such as furniture factories, piano
Arms, wagon coucerns, etc, are very quiet, but phonograph makers have
been rather busy and using a fair quantity of veneers.
The Hardwood Market
CHICAGO
Tht'iv has hecii virtually no improvement in the Chicago market during
tht* [jast tiftiM'u (lays, except for a strengthening in jirioes of red gum and
oak items in the upper grades, due to the further iler-rease in the available
stocks. All wood using industries getting thi-ir raw materials on this mar-
ket continue to observe the greatest timidity in buying. Buyers are placing
orders only for their immediate needs. However, the sellers are not
anxious to book orders for delivery very far in the future, as they have
a confident belief that lumber prices are going to start upward before the
summer is over. They do not want to load up on orders at present low
prices. Buying is chiefly in broken lots of one car quantity and a great
deal of buying is also being done from the yards. Orders are dften taken
for a carloacl of stock in a dozen or more different items, some of these
running as low as fifty or a hundred feet. It is evident that the consumers
are trying to hold their investments in lumber down to the lowest figure.
In spite of this condition the outlook is hopeful. Building labor troubles
are gradually being settled, clearing the way for building. The July fur-
niture markets are expected to result in sales that will cause good buying
by the furniture industry starting late in August.
CLEVELAND
Expectations for improved outlet for hardwoods in this market through
settlement of the building strike have so far been without realization.
Officially the strike has been settled. Actually, it is not settled. For
several branches of the organized operatives have been objecting to one
thing and another in connection with the pay awards made by the arbitra-
tion committees, and this dissent is marked with spasmodic halting and
resumption of work on those building operations that were held up during
the strike. In consequence the building public, and particularly that class
devoted to housing construction, which offers the best outlet for material
in the hardwood division, is still playing a waiting game. Here and there
a sparse order for flooring comes in, but this means little in the lives of
hardwood distributors who have been waiting since the beginning of the
year to see real building going ahead.
It is a matter of some consolation to local hardwood interests that con-
ditions locally appear to be better than in other sections of the Middle
West. At least such is the assertion of representatives of out of town
firms who have forsaken their regular territories in search of new fields.
Admitting they are not doing anything sensational in the way of new
bookings here, these callers indicate that the prospects for an early
resumption of real building activity are better in Cleveland than else-
where.
The slowdown is further reflected in the lessened inquiry from the
manufacturing trades. Furniture, cabinet work and similar outlet is
still quite limited. In the automobile trade the outlook is l»righter, based
largely upon the reduced prices of many cars, and the possiliility that this
will intluee buying. Manufacturers, however, are linnting their hard-
wood reqtiiremeuts to immediate needs.
PHILADELPHIA
Wholesalers in this city report some improvement in the general situa-
tion, but the improvement is neither uniform nor steady. There has been
considerable briskness displayed in the soft woods, caused largely by trade
June 25. 1!)21
HARDWOOD RECORD

improvement in outlying districts. Tliis Is partly due to new building, l)ut
more especially to tlie annual spring repairing. The improvement is con-
fined almost entirely to yards dealiug in building lumber, the result being
that activity is largely in yellow pine, hemlocli and white pine, with nii.Ned
car shipments predominating.
The trade in this city proper is badly handicapped by the building trades'
strike, which has been in force since May 1. The present situation is one
of deadlock between employers and men, with both sides holding firm.
There can be no great improvement in the city trade here until this dead-
lock is broken one way or the otlier.
The hardwood trade has shown some little improvement, but it is slight.
The demand has been largely for common and better stock, with the lower
grade practically at a standstill. This is due to the fact that most of the
hardwood bought has been for yards, while factory and industrial consump-
tion has been very slight.
Hardwood prices have slunvn a tendency to weaken for sonic time past,
but the recent improvement in demand for better grades has served to
steady prices for the time being. Opinion here is divided as to whether
the improvement will continue or prove to be temporary.
PITTSBURGH
The lumber business in this city is excessively quiet. Railroad, indus-
trial and mining trade is practically nil. Retail yard trade is confined
only to small, mixed and scattered orders for filling-in purposes. Inquiry
has been developed only by quoting constantly lower prices. It is a buyers'
market through and through. The best that can be said of it is that hard
hustling now and then brings an order. In the main, however, business
is so badly out of sorts that everybody is sore and has a grouch on so that
the lumber salesman Is fearfully out of place in most offices. General
opinion-expressed at the weekly meeting of the Pittsburgh Wholesale Lum-
ber Dealers' Association in the William Penn tlotel today is that trade
will not show much improvement, if any, before fall.
BOSTON
There seems to come something of a lull in the hardwoods trade here.
To be sure there continues to be improvement in both demand and inquiry,
but the Improvement is not as much as it was. This loss is not thought
by the trade to be anything serious, but rather something temporary more
or less to be expected at this time of year. In the lower grades, in which
there was accumulation, there continues to be some little weakness in tone
and demand. In the firsts and seconds, however, the market is firm,
though all efforts to obtain even slight advances over the prices recently
quoted have failed. What business there is seems to be chiefly with the
hardwoods yards and with the furniture makers. There is no improvement
noted in demand from the chair manufacturers. Likewise trade with the
railroads and export business is dead. The piano people are in the market
to some extent, but not much as yet. Trade is really dull with the auto-
mobile body people.
BALTIMORE
Sentiment as to the state of the hardwood trade here is decidedly mixed.
While some of the dealers report that an improvement has taken place
over and above the change for the better previously noted, others are not
less positive that the market has gone back about to where it was before
a temporary quickening in activity, when an increased number of orders
came out. The hardwood men who take the view that the situation is
more encouraging, however, seem to be in the majority, and the belief
in at least a partial revival is causing a greater display of energy with
a view to getting orders. Factories that use hardwoods are reported to
be entering into commitments on a somewhat bigger scale to take care
of their current requirements, without any atfempt so far to make provi-
sion for possible and probable future needs. The furniture factories in
the South, for example, deem it expedient to buy with greater freedom,
some of them having orders for goods in hand to carry them along until
next fall, according to advices received here. The northern consumers
are developing larger needs, while the additions made to the available
stocks are by no means extensive. Many of the saw mills arc still shut
down, while others are running far below their capacity. In fact, it
may be questioned if the production has undergone any expansion for
some time. This, it is felt, has resulted in a further reduction of assort-
ments at producing points, a circumstance that has served to strengthen
the list somewhat, though no important marking up of the quotations is
to be recorded. The calls for lumber come in by fits and starts. Da.vs
will elapse before a dealer will get an order, and then again these
acceptances will follow each other in fairly rapid succession. It does not
appear that the foreign business has made any gains. The movement, if
anything, has undergone a further shrinkage, the foreign buyers being
disposed to hold back even to the point of deferring actual wants. And
the tendency to take advantage of any little pretext for making rejections
and filing claims for allowances is fully as pronounced as before. The
advisability of observing every provision of contracts and taking account

COLUMBUS
The hardwooi) (radt* in Coluinlius and cfiitriil Ohio tc^rrltory has ht'on
liiihcr stoady diiriny the past fortnight. liut thiTi' is no real strength
to the trade and the tone is not as ^ood as was the case a month ago.
Buyin;-' en the part of retailers as well as inanufai-turcrs is ri'strleted
to iiiiMiediate needs only anij ronseqiientiy there is no disposition to buy
Iiir the future.
I'.iiying on the part of retailers is now the best feature. Dealers' stocks
are not large an<l in many eases rather broken. These dealers are coming
into the market to replace their stocks and to accumuIiHe some surplus as
against expected buying later in tin* season. Factories making furniture
are buying to a certain extent. Implement and liox concerns are also in
the market. Autojnoliile concerns have stopped tenipurarily. <_'oal raining
concern^ are buying rather heavily under the circumstances.
Huilding operations in cities are holding up fairly well, but in rural
secti<»ns there is little cctnstruction work going forward. As a result rural
dealers are not feeling the best and are not buying to any extent. The
strongest point in the market is in high grade flooring. In fact all high
grade stocks are scarce and this has the effect of switching the demand
to the lower grades. Shipments are coming out promptly. Production is
down to a 40 to 50 per cent basis, but there is talk of still further
reduction unless some rapid improvement in demand is noted.
CINCINNATI
An ii]i\v:iril Iri'ii.l in tlii' hiinlwoml niiirkct Is still a possiliilit.v of the
liituri'. .\s the months of this year roll b.v an increase in business is
nuticcd. lyocal dealers do not expect much change before fail, as present
confiitions are far too uncertain to expect a (lec'idedly stronger demand.
The producti<in is limited and manufacturers are making no elTort to
increase mill operations as long as demand is weak. Stocks, especially
in the better grades, are very Uiw. ami with production nearly at a stand-
still they are growing scar<-er each week. Prices in general are unchanged,
but some items are (juoted lower, with the idea of stimulating the demand.
Retail dealers are buying very little stock and only such items as they can
readily move. Yard stocks are comparatively light. The oak flooring busi-
ness continues in good demand with gum and poplar running a close se<'ond.
There is a general feeling among hardwood lumbermen here that Imsiness
conditions will not move to any great extent one way or the other until
after tlie .Inly furniture exhibits. Building w(n-k is improving weekly,
especially in the line of apartment and dwelling bnuses. In the rural dis-
tricts the lumber trade is slow, due to the advent of the wheat harvest,
which usually interrupts all lines of business. The wood consuming fac-
tories have not been as active in the market during the past two weeks
as they were a month or so ago.
INDIANAPOLIS
There is no diuilit that the ilciiiand for hardwoc.ils in Indianapolis and
the central Indiana district is on the upgrade. During the past two weeks
the demand from the retail dealers, especially for the upper grades, has
been exceptionally active, and this demand is expected to continue during
the summer and fall. There has been an increase also in the demand from
the industrials. Prices are Arm, with stronger tendencies in both upper
and lower grades, though the former have the stronger demand. However,
there have been cases during the past week where transit car lots were sold
at bargain prices to save the demurrage. P^irniture manufacturers report
a better sale of the finished product and tiiere is a tendency toward more
production. This tendency is not marked, however, since the factory
executives are proceeding with extreme caution in nuiking up stocks. There
is more activity among the box makers here and they have been doing
some buying during the past week. Talking machine cabinet makers report
their business improving. This business was hit badly until about two
or three weeks ago. when a noticeable increase in activity took place.
Among the retailers, oak and gum continue to be the big sellers. Virtually
all the construction work now being done calls for either oak or gum
interior linish and llic .Icmand for these grades is exceptionally good.
EVANSVILLE
There has been some improvement in the trade of the hardwood lumber
manufacturers of Evansville and southern Indiana during the past two
weeks, and while the actual numl>er of orders has not increased, the num-
ber of inquiries have lieen larger and there is a feeling that things are
going to get gradually better. Few of the large mills in this section are
being operated now : in fact not many of the mills have been running at
all since the beginning of the present year. No logs to speak of are now
coming into the local market. Manufacturers, whose plants have been
closed, do not care to buy many logs while their mills are shut down, as
they feel later on there will he plenty of logs coming out of the south,
as many of the farmers always turn their attention to getting out logs
after they have finished their heavy farm work. Log prices have been
rather high all summer. Lumber prices have remained stationary for the
past month or two. In the opinion of manufacturers the prices have about

ipacbed their lowest levels, unci after the ilemanU liir liimher Improves the.v
predict tliiit there will be a stiffeuiiiK of prices, due to the tact that the
output is beint; curtailed uiui few of the lartie mills of the country have
been runninj; much since the lirst of the .year. IluildlnK operations In
Evansvllle and southern Indiana have picked up some (hiring thi' month of
June and contrai-tors and building material men are of the opinion that
J\il.v anil August will witness a k 1 deal of bulbllnK, althcnmh they arc
not lookinj; for anythin;; like a boom in building this yi'ar.
MEMPHIS
Tin' hiii-ilwiioil market is rathcT- spott.'d. Dennuiil is somewhat irrcKubir
and business is by no means evenly distributed. This Is due in part to
the fact that some manufacturers do not care to do business on current
terms and that they are holdluK thi-lr stock at prices considerably above
present values. It is also due in part to the fact that some interests are
nmking a more active I>id for business than others. One of the most
pnunlnent numufacturers in Memphis is autlnprity for the statement that
"somebody Is sjoinK to have to pay dearly f<ir the terrible hiatus In pro-
duction of southern hanlwoods" and for the additional statement that
"we are disposed to await ilevelr>p!nents Itefore throwing; over our lumber
at prevailing prices."
liuilding trade interests, who have been relatively the lo'Mviest buyers
of southern hardwoods during the past few weeks, slowed down in their
bu.ving: just before their seconfl installment of fncome ami e.\cess protits
taxes fell due and this accounts, in some measure, for the lull experi-
enced during the preceding week. They have now reentered the market
and are taking c^msiderable (juantities of llrsts and seconds as well as
No. 1 and No. 2 common plain red and white oak and plain red gum.
Furniture manufacturers, too. are Imreasing their purchases somewhat
and there is a fair demand from wholesale yards. Itne of the most striking
developments during the past few days lias been the appearance of some
dennind for No. 3 gum. I'art of this is coming from box manufacturers,
while the remainder is emanating from wholesale interests. One tirm has
sold approximately 30(1,000 feet, while another has disposed of about
BO cars. No. 3 common has been exceptionally slow during the past three
months and the appearance of tills demand, even though it is by no means
large, is accepted as one of the most encouraging developments for sev-
eral months. Readjustment of rates on hardwood lumber seems to be no
nearer than heretofore and it was feared that there would be no movement
of the very low grades until rates were rwluccd, but it would seem that
there is some movement regardless of practically prohibitive freight rates.
There is not much to be said on the score of prices. These are tirm
on the high grades, which are relatively quite scarce and they are also
very steady on No. 1 and No. 2 common plain red gum and oak. The lower
grades are still commanding very greatly reduced prices as compared with
normal, but the market shows a little recovery even on these.
I'roduction is decreasing rather than increasing and stocks are lessen-
ing as a result of shipments somewhat in excess of daily output. There is
nothing suggestive of any increase in logging or manufacturing operations.
On the contrary, indications continue to point to exceptionally limitcil
output until there is some development calculated to inspire greater con-
fidence in the absorptive capacity of the market than has yet manifested
itself. Conditions are regarded as better than a short time ago, but they
have not yet improved sufHciently to stimulate enough confidence in the
stability of the market to justify manufacturers in resuming either logging
or manufacturing operations.
ST. LOUIS
While prices have been steady, tin- market has Immmi very sluggish for
the past ten days. Itailroads are buying nothing and there is.an unusually
light amount of orders being placed. The market has an appearance of
being steady, but it is mostly because of the lack of activities. I>ittle hope
is held tor a better condition until as late as October.
SOUTH BEND
The hardwood market in this vicinity is very (luict. but prices arc
remaining very firm. The higher grades of all hardwoods are very scarce
indeed, especially is this true of plain oak and red gum. I'rlces quoted arc
about as follows, f. o. h. lars this rate: I'lain oak F.\S. ISIOO : No. 1
common, :f5(i ; No. 2 common. $3b. Plain red gum K.\S. .f 90 ; No. 1 com-
mon. S4K. Sap gum FAS, S45 : No. 1 common, .$30 ; .No. 2 common. $23.
One point the buyers seem to overlook is that iumlier is being o8fi>rcd
today at less than present cost of production, and this condition cannot
exist very long. It conditions do not change within the next OO days a
lumber shortage is as sure as taxes. Some of the old, experienced buyers
arc taking advantage of present conditions, slipping orders here and tb.re
for H few cars.
LOUISVILLE

uak. Is and 2s, $00; common plain red gum, $4S ; common quartered red
gum, $00 : Is and 2s, red sum, .flO.'j. The reports received recently indi-
cate that there are still a good many mills which are cutting, although
many large operations are down at the present time. Some of the oper-
ators report that I)usiues8 is draggy and will continue that way through
.July and .\ugust, witii fall huslness more active, although others are not
anticipating much imiirovement before the first of the year, as the furnl-
tiirc trade alone can't malie up sufficient volume to iiialte liiisiness really
good and other trades are not tailing wood freely. In the huilding trades
there is some little ileinand for llooring and interior trim, but building
operations as a wliole have been <ilsappointing all season, as most of the
construction is of a very cheap kind, and not so very much of it at that.
BEAUMONT
Whili* tlu- lumUvrMni iiiarkot has been very dull during the past few
iliiys, prices have 1km*ii holdiiiff firmly. Reports from some sections state
that there is an indieiition of an increased output, hut this condition will
not apply to the southwestern territory, where production has been at a
standstill for several weeks.
As it is understood that the railroad contracts will expire on July 1, it
is altogether likely that the low production now will further decline on
that date. It is understood that many of the railroads are fairly well sup-
plied with ties, and there will be no immediate necessity to renew con-
tracts or make new ones.
One buyer for a big Texas furniture plant was in Beaumont this week
and expressed the opinion that furniture grades in hardwood was entirely
too cheap on present basis. What he wanted to see was a fair price which
would give the manufacturer an adequate return, and when such a time
had arrived, manufacturers and consumers alike could depend on having
something like a stable market.
Due to iow production, there is a shortage of dry stocks and this sup-
ply may be further diminished, as mills do not seem inclined to invest In
future to the extent of having lumber on the rack which may not meet a
demand when it is sutBciently dry to meet the requirements of the con-
sumer.
MILWAUKEE
One of the big sustaining influences in the demand for hardwoods at
present is the active state of the millwork industry in Milwaukee. This
is due to the relatively large amount of new construction going on, largely
in the nature of apartment houses, fine residences, banks, etc., all of which
require considerable hardwood supplies of various kinds. The condition,
however, is said to exist to this extent of activity in Milwaukee county,
reports from many other sections being that millwork trade is rather dull,
despite the season.
Production in the north is getting back into full swing for the summer
sawing seasou. and numerous mills which have been closed since the end of
the winter run are resuming operations. Some mills are employing night
shifts, although in general the working schedules this year will probably
be not so broad as in 1920. Supplies of hardwood lumber and other stock
at mills are gradually being brought down to the point where replenish-
ment is necessary. The medium and low grades move rather slowly, but
no difficulty seems to be experienced in getting buyers for the top grades.
It is the accumulation of low grade stuff that is an important factor in
limiting production.
The furniture industry is growing more active steadily as jobbers and
dealers succeed in making disposition of their stocks. A leading Mil-
waukee banking authority says on this point : "The furniture industry has
had a fair selling season. In the summer season dealers usually unload
stocks. Fall business in furniture manufacturing will depend upon how
successful retailers are in working off high priced goods. The building of
many new homes should help this industry."

TORONTO
The tone of the hardwood lumber market is distinctly quiet and the
same may be said of lumber lines generally, although a canvass of the
situation indicates a better feeling on the part of both wholesalers and
retailers in respect of the outlook than has prevailed tor some months.
The general impression prevails that the worst of the depression is now
over, and, while the stagnant period may remain for some time, still the
increasing number of building permits in the larger cities and the various
housing schemes that are getting under way give evidence that the
remainder of the present year will produce a fairly satisfactory volume of
business, despite the handicap of the labor exactions. A number of the
saw mills in the country have commenced operations and generally speak-
ing sawing is in full swing, although some of the mills have been late in
getting started, owing. largely, to the rather large stocks of lumber on
hand. It is not believed that the cut in any district will be as large as
last year unless there should be a radical change in conditions. Ordinary
skilled labor around the mill and in the yards now receives from 30 cents
to 35 cents an hour, whereas last year from 20 cents to 30 cents more was
paid. Wages in the bush are likely to run from $30 to .$40 during the
coming seasou. Last fall wages were just double these figures.

EMPHIS is visited by more do-
mestic and foreign buyers than
any other lumber center in the
country. Why? The alluvial
delta of the Mississippi river is famous as
the richest land in the world. The best
hardwoods grow on the best soil. The sale
of all this hardwood, the finest in the coun-
try, centers in or through Memphis. All
Southern species of satisfactory quality and
variety are available. Oak, gum, ash,
hickory, Cottonwood, cypress, willow, tupelo,
red cedar. Memphis is the department
store of the hardwood industry — first in
quality, first in service. Let her serve you.

Review and Outlook
I «t
General Market Conditions
SUCH CHAXGE AS HAS DEVELOPED iu the last few weeks
has not created encouragement, but with due consideration
of the facts, it becomes apparent that the still further shrinkage
of orders is by no means an inexplicable development. While it
might be argued that as nothing is functioning normally, the
explanation of the mid-summer dullness will not hold this season,
the fact remains that this influence is distinctly at work and quite
naturally so. During the past two or three weeks trade has been
marked by a distinct slowing up after a noticeable improvement
immediately jireeeding. There could be nothing more natural,
though, than that this should happen, as the furniture industry
is calculated to normally absorb 30 or 40 per cent of the hardwood
lumber, and at no time has the immediate future of the industry
been more uncertain than imuiediately preceding the current fur-
niture market. The experiences which the furniture manufacturers
encountered at the last two preceding shows naturally aggravated
an apprehensive and undetermined state of mind. Fortunately
the manufacturers at large did not discount the necessity for get-
ting down to serious business at the July shows this year. Thus
every possible effort was concentrated on first reducing operating
costs to the absolute minimum, then accurately determining those
costs .and basing prices on such figures, allowing but a fair margin
of profit.
The exhibitors this year have come to the markets with rock-
bottom quotations from which they apparently are not receding
one penny, and as these figures and this attitude give to the
retailer assurance of future stability, particularly as jiriees are
guaranteed for from three to six months, his state of mind is in
turn rendered more receptive. The full accounts of the markets
contained elsewhere in this issue paint an actual picture of what
has transpired practically up to the date of publication. It is an
evident fact that were the retailers entirely lacking in interest,
were their own business hopeless, they would spend neither the
time nor money to .iourncy to the markets in the great numbers
which have characterized the influx both at (Irand Eapids and
Chicago.
,. The sincerity of the manufacturer's position .-lud intentions has
CM been demonstrated to the sntisfaction of the buyers, who \\\\\\e
, they are by no means overwhelming the producers with orders,
^^ are placing a very fair volume of business. In some cases this
business has assumed old time proportions, although in the aver-
age case the volume so far placed is nominal. It is significant,
however, that even though there were never before so many uncer-
tain equations to be figured by the retailer, he has placed as much
business for the first three days of the show this year as during
the first week a year ago. Then, too, for the same reasons Ijuyers
were in the main intent at first on analyzing offerings and condi-
tions, ])lanning to place their business later when they had fully
determined future probabilities and the genuineness of quotations.
A very fair volume of sales was developed in spite of the inter-
ruption of two important events — the holiday and the "big
doings" at Jersey City. It is confidently expected that the last
half of the show will evidence a substantial improvement even over
the favorable beginning, and that the results presage a much more
favorable volume of furniture business than has materialized for
some time.
Lumber sales to the furniture trade have been distinctly slow,
and it may be readily appreciated why the furniture buyer has
been entirely unwilling to take on the lumber stocks until the
aggravating uncertainties at the show period shall hiive been
eliminated. The hardwood trade selling to the furniture trade
can take heart from the common scarcity of stocks in buyers'
hands, and the necessity which will certainly develop with the
new business placed at the markets. That habit of buying which
has been developing during the past few years, which is described
to the trade as "hand-to-mouth" trading, has been spoken of
much of late as possibly denoting the permanent future policies
of the wood-using industries. This opinion may or may not be
true, though Hakdwood Record doubts whether the continuance
of such policy under normal turn-over of business among consum-
ing industries would be feasible. In the first place, the production
and curing of lumber from the tree to the "shipj)ing dry" boards
is too involved and lengthy a process to make possible a close
figuring of supplies when business is moving briskly. Then, too,
the development of kiln drying facilities at mill points has only
begun in the hardwood trade, which fact obviates any possibility
of speeding up the preparatory processes. Under ordinary air-dry-
ing requirements the lumber manufacturer must have a certain
length of time in which to air-dry his stock, and insistence by the
buyers of the permanent adherence to the hand-to-mouth policy
would be an exceedingly demoralizing influence among the mills,
as their efficiency is dependent upon continuance of smoothrun-
-5

ning production on standard items. They quite naturally uill not
be eneouraKod to a normal volume of output if the liuyers insist
upon the continuance of a close-buying policy. '
As stabilized and minimum prices and an insured, evenly bal-
anced sui)iily of hardwood lumber are essential to the well being
of the wood-using industries, any policy which will militate against
those requirements is naturally to the disadvantage of the buyers.
But regardless of such considerations the relative position of
supply and demand will govern in this as any other considerations.
The man who has booked a substantial volume of business requir-
ing hardwood lumber in its production is not going to insist upon
frequent purchases of small j)arcels if he at all susjiects that there
may be difficulty in getting a sufficient volume of his raw material.
In the meantime, tliough, this policy will likely prevail, as the
bulk of the furniture orders are placed on the same basis, and
until the volume of road business is determined, when the fur-
niture salesmen go out following the markets, the manufacturer
will not be much more certain of his future than he is at present.
Today, though, he is content to view with satisfaction the develop-
ment of the future markets, believing that they indicate the
gradual but none the less certain return of normal times.
Haedwood Eecoud believes that no other one influence will so
strongly affect business in general as a settlement of the Govern-
ment's account with the railroads, described more fully elsewhere
in this editorial section.
Hope Seen In Rail Settlements
THE DAILY PRESS OF JULY 8 contained an interesting item
which for some reason was hidden away in an obscure posi-
tion when its potential importance entitled it to the utmost promi-
nence. Many remedies have been suggested for present business
ills, but it is doubtful if, with one exception, any other one thing
would contribute more towards revival. When it is realized that
tli|e railroads of the country normally purchase 35 per cent of the
product of private industry, it is immediately apparent that the
revival of the railroads would be a sufficiently large factor to
spread its helpful influence over the entire industrial fabric.
Various stories have, been going around of late to the effect that
strenuous efforts are being made to bring about final settlement
between the Government and the railroads. In the item referred
to. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is quoted as being hopeful
that these negotiations will come to a head within the next few
days. Secretary Mellon intimated further that arrangements will
probably be made for funding a portion of the amount owed to the
Government by the railroads, in exchange for which it will be
necessary for the Government to pay to the railroads approxi-
mately $500,000,000.
This payment will be spread over a jieriod of possibly six months
and, as Secretary Mellon, Secretary of Commerce Hoover and other
memiiers of the cabinet are desirous of expediting the settlement,
there is great hope that emergency action may be taken without
waiting for the burdensome processes ordinarily necessary. In
commenting on his endeavor to have this work accomplished. Sec-
retary Hoover declared that the tremendous importance of pros-
perity of the railroads is manifest in that the railroads are
employers of fully 20 per cent of the country's labor.
Hardwood lumbermen will be interested in knowing that one
of the men whose influence and force have been extremely effective
in bringing about these negotiations is within their own field of
activity. W. M. Eitter, president of the W. M. Hitter Lumber
Company, Columbus, O., has spent most of the past two months
in Washington a.'isisting in bringing the matter to a head and has
developed a forceful compilation of data clearly indicating that
the need for emergency action in this case is just as strong as
was the need for the severance of red tape during the war crisis.
Mr. Ritter recently issued a memorandum bearing on the absolute
necessity for settlement of the Government railroad relations.
This work should have the support of every business man in the
country, as there unfortunately is no one thing or combination
of several things which could possibly have even approximately
the beneficial influence which would surely result from this adjust-
ment. In his memorandum Mr. Ritter emphasizes the depressed
condition of business in general, referring to the shinking tonnage
of the railroads, the very low ebb of production and employment
and the imminence of chaos.
Then referring specifically to the railroads, Mr. Ritter instances
many specific items which give a clear picture of the deplorable
condition in which the railroads find themselves. Among other
things he calls attention to are the fact that one system has had
between $60,000,000 and $75,000,000 of audited vouchers which it
is unable to pay, and that for the entire country such debts would
probably run to several hundred million dollars, the amount the
Government is obligated to pay as the return for the guarantee
period is unpaid. This debt the Government admittedly owes, and
it represents sums the railroads need desperately. The railroads
in turn need to buy and want to buy and will buy if they are
supplied with the fuilds. The railroads, according to Mr. Ritter,
are the natural and logical buyers to start business, as they nor-
mally are the heaviest purchasers of any one group. Therefore,
an immediate and liberal settlement and liquidation of the Gov-
ernment's obligations should be effected.
Assurance has already been given by the railroad executives
that these funds will be used for the proper purpose. In addition
Mr. Ritter suggests the arrangement of satisfactory' credit terms
to finance railroad purchases beyond the amount of settlement.
That the immediate payment of $500,000,000 admittedly due the
railroads will have a far-reaching influence is shown in the fact
that careful calculations indicate it would result in immediately
clearing transactions aggregating over $5,000,000,000. Through
this action more production will be required, hence more labor
employed and idleness reduced. Further, as volume of production
mounts, cost per unit will be reduced and prosperity gradually
returned.

HARDWOOD RECORD

By E. E. Parsonage*
I sincerely hope I will not leave tlie impression with this Con-
veutiou that I am an "Extremist.'' I once heard of two men, one
an extreme Optimist who could see a light where there wasn't one,
and his friend, a Pessimist, was the follow who blew out that light.
Let us first face the fact that of the 822,000,000 acres of virgin
forest in this country only approximately 13.3,000,000 remain for
our use and the use of posterity. The timber remaining is fast being
consumed at a rate of 25 per cent each year in excess of the growth.
As a rough estimate there are essentially 2215 billion board feet
of merchantable standing, timber, less than three-fourths of which
is virgin stumpage. Essentially one-half of the timber left in this
country is in the three Pacific Coast states. A very pertinent esti-
mate made by the Forestry Department is that practically only
one-fifth of the timber left in the country is hardwood — only about
460 billion board feet.
The most comprehensive national and state legislation that will
insure a program for reforestation in this country, therefore comes
in the nature of a deathbed repentance.
Only yesterday we laughed at the prediction that the White Pine
of the North would soon be gone. Over night it departed. Where is
our Basswood, Cottonwood and Yellow Poplar?
Tomorrow, gentlemen, Hard Maple and Hickory will be gone.
The much despised Gum has come into general use. Why? Only
from necessity and as a substitute.
What will you substitute for Gum wheu that wood is cut out?
There is none. We are nearing the end of our resources.
I am vitally interested in a national and state reforestation pro-
gram that will reforest our waste lands. But my plea today is in
Conservation, and utilizing to the limit our present lumber supply.
This calls for exhaustive study of the needs of the wood using
industries, a standardizing of the dimensions they use, and finally
a tabulation of the composite requirements to the end that the
sawyer will be able to get the last foot of merchantable material
out of each log.
Conservation should be the shibboleth in every hardwood mill in
this country.
The manufacturer using wood stock has such a limited knowledge
of forest problems that it is little wonder waste in manufacture
exists as it does today, and it is high time the hardwood lumber
indiistries and the wood using industries awaken to the seriousness
of the situation.
Dimension Stock
The two words "Dimension Stock" do not find favor with many
hardwood operators. However, I believe it is the answer to logical
conservation plans, and possibly, gentlemen, the answer in connec-
tion with the profits in the future.
Heretofore very few hard i^ine mills have ever cut for grade.
Conditions have now changed, and a pine mill superintendent or
sawyer who can cut pine to grade is able to largely set his own
salary.
Coming back to our hardwood problems, it can be rather tritely
stated that the curse of the hardwood saw mill is low grade material.
Again, how are you to make a profit on Xo. 2, No. 3 and cull logs?
In the interests of conservation alone these logs should not be left
in the woods. The answer, to my mind, is "Dimension Stock."
I know a typical case of grief that will illustrate how to lose
money and your religion at the same time in connection with dimen-
sion stock.
A large hardwood operator took an order for six cars of small

squares from a handle manufacturer. One of the best posted
handle men in the country saw this material at destination and told
me there was not a square in the six cars. There were all sorts of
shapes, oblongs and "boblongs, " as he put it, etc. The net result
was that the handle manufacturer was sick, and the saw mill owner
was also ill, except with a different disease.
Education at both ends of the line and close personal contact
will make such a situation impossible.
Why not send your salesman or yard or mill inspector on an
educational trip — order them to spend more time in the factory of
a prospective customer-^to learn his real needs, and to spend less
time possibly on the purchasing agent.
An order for a car of hardwood lumber that saves a factory money
in working it into their ]u-oduct will result in more business than
twelve cars picked up haphazard.
I will venture the opinion that you need more constructive sales
effort and less of the moth-eaten methods whereby the purchasing
agent does both the selling and the buying, by habitually telling the
salesman what he will give him for 10,000 feet of this or that lum-
ber that you have listed with your salesmen.
Get Nearer the Customer
The saw mill operator must get closer to the factory man which
produces furniture, wagons or ax handles. The needs of your cus-
tomers should be learned by intimate contact. Tou haven't enough
regular customers. Why?
Suppose you have a customer who buys from you an occasional
car of 1st and 2nd Oak, 4/4" or 8/4", 6" to 12" in width— has your
salesman ever gone into that man's factory to learn that they could
use a lot of short lengths and even 3" widths, or has your salesman
shown that factory superintendent that he can save him money by
cutting up some No. 2 Common of which you have a yard full?
Suppose your salesman tells this superintendent you will rip this
8/4" No. 2 Common and ship only the pieces that will saw into mul-
tiples of the common dimensions used by this particular factory.
Has your salesman shown him the big saving in freight on waste?
How many of you have such a salesman?
Our sales organizations must wake up to the fact that they cannot
any longer accept the pick of orders offered to them. Real con-
structive salesmanship based upon service to the customer and profit
to the saw mill must be of first importance.
Problem of the Ixjwer Grades
YOUR PROBLEM is how to cut No. 2, No. 3 and small logs at a
profit. Let us for a minute forget present abnormal conditions.
A flitch cut from a No. 3 log properly handled should bring a
profit in dimension stock. A bolter, or a small Dixie, will handle to
advantage bolts from tops or small trees that have heretofore been
left in the woods or cut unprofitably.
The hardwood industry is facing the absolute necessity of con-
serving every foot of usable stock it is possible to get out of the
tree.
Now, as to the consumer of forest products, or rather the fabri-
cator, the preliminary work necessary to bring about profitable hard-
wood saw mill operations must take into consideration closer con-
nection between the saw mill and tlie wood user.
The wood using industries must educate their people through their
associations and reach the individual wood using factory — educate
them in the use of dimension stock.
The cost of transportation is an ever increasing burden to the
manufacturer of wood stock, and those manufacturers must be
educated to use and pay the price for clear stock cut out of low
grade material. The facts can be shown by practical demonstration.
As an illustration, a furniture manufacturer is now buying dresser
18

and tiilile legs to size. It would also pay him to buy eoiniiKiii sizes
of dresser or desk drawer fronts. He can be shown that it will save
him money to buy these dimensions, rather than buy 1st and 2uds
plank.
Few fabricators of w'ood stock, using 1st and 2nds Oak jilank,
today will believe the statement that from the green plank or
shipping dry i)laiik piled in their yard up to the time this lumber
is fabricated into furniture, wagons or any other commodity, the
loss will average 40 i)er cent. This figure is based upon the use of
extremely small dimension sizes. You can easily figure what the
comparative loss is on No. 1 ami No. 2 Common Oak. This figure
will not seem extravagant to any hardwood mill man who knows
what his fall-down amounts to when it comes to shipping a car of
1st and 2nds Oak, and who has stood by the piles while the inspectors
were loading the car and noted the percentage of pieces that had to
be put back into No. 1 Common.
Another illustration. I received a letter just a few days ago
coming from a prominent hardwood lumberman who stated:
"Regarding your inquiry in connection with order No. 2026 for
chair stock, we consider this a very fine order. This came out of
No. 2 and 3 stock thrown out of a shipment of No. 1 Common. You
will note the sizes are 1x21/4 — 16" and 1x3 and wider — 16%" long.
This enabled us to cut out the defect and brought us something
like $55 per thousand feet here, whereas, we have a world of No. 3
stock that we have been offering at $10 per thousand with no bid-
ders. The actual expense and our overheads, ripping up and loading
this stock, would be something around $15 per thousand."
1 have with me copies of orders for twenty carloads of small
dimension stock taken by one mill in the months of January, Feb-
ruary and March, which indicate a practical illustration of the
working out, in a profitable way, of by-product and low grade hard-
wood into dimension stock:
2 cars — 2 x2 x24" Clear Oak Squares.
6 cars li/4xli/4x20" Hickory Squares.
3 cars — 2 x2 xl9" and 20" Clear Gum Squares, $55 per M'.
1 car — Square Spoke Billets, Clear Oak.

*1 car — IVi," sq. x 6V1>" long, 1%" sq. x OM;" long, ly/' sq. x
6Va" long. Hickory Tool Handles, $100 per M'.
Standardization
In this connection will sa}' that the Association of Wood Using
Industries, com])rising some twenty-five different associations, is
attempting to standardize the dimension requirements in individual
industries coming to common sizes and multiples thereof. This
effort slidulil have the hearty support of your association.
A logical standardization of sizes used in any particular industry
will enable the mill man to cut not only to secure the maximum
footage out of every log, but he will be able to saw dimension stock
from low grade lumber, slabs, etc., not on special order, but with
tlie knowledge that the sizes piled in the yard would be just as sala-
ble as 4/4 or 8/4 Oak Plank.
After several conferences with the United States Forestry De-
partment and officials of the Forest Products Laboratory at Madi-
son, Wis., Colonel Greeley has consented and Mr. Winslow, the di-
rector at Madison, has instituted a new department named "The
Dimension Stock Bureau." They will proceed to organize as funds
are available a corps of men to be trained as experts in the sawing
and use of dimension stock, aiding simultaneously in the education
of both the saw mill and the wood using industry.
I bespeak for this movement your liearty support and co-operation.

Taxes Interest Michigan Operators
Owners of timber lands in Michigan are watching with greatest
interest the attitude of the legislature toward the recommendations
of the state tax commission with reference to taxation of timber
lands. As a result of the present ad valorem system of taxation
the white pine lands have been turned into barens and nobody
but the state is interested in reforesting them. No private indi-
vidual will undertake the long term investment with the constantly
increasing tax. The result is that as soon as the timber has been
cut off the owner has allowed the land to revert to the state for
taxes.
Now. the same thing is threatening the hardw-ood lands. That
now being about the most important lumbering operation there ^s
left in Michigan, the wood is being cut off rapidly and the land
tlien abandoned. There is this exception, however, in favor of the
while that of the pine lands is nothing but light sand. But the
same principle applies and the owner of the hardwood land is not
interested in growing a second crop of trees. He may be able to
hardwood lands. The soil of the hardwood lands, is usually good,
dispose of his land for farm purposes, but his interest is to dis-
pose of it the quickest way.
For a long time the state has been totally blind to the evils
brought about by the ad valorem system of taxation upon timber
lands. Now, however, the state tax commission has awakened to
this evil and is proposing some sort of remedial legislation for the
owner of timber lands and particularly for the man who owns land
upon which he has growing timber not yet mature. Whether the
proposed remedial legislation will be held satisfactory to the tim-
ber land owner is the next question, but here it is as set forth by
the state tax commission:
Determine separately bare land value and merchantable timber value ;
such bare land value to be the same as the assessed value of wild, unim-
proveil. bare laud ot similar quality in the same locality ; mature timber
value to be the stumpage value of merchantable forest products upon the
land ; immature fore^ growth not to be considered In determining either
land value or mature' timber value.
An annual tax at a fixed rate upon the land value thus determined.
An annual tax at a fixed rate upon the timber value thus determined.
A percentage tax upon yield payable whenever any portion of the timber
crop is harvested.
Land value is not to be changed except after regular intervals and then
only for the purpose of harmonizing such land value with the assessed
value ot bare lands in the same locality. Timber value not to be increased
at any time, but to be decreased whenever any yield tax is paid, such
decrease to be the same as the stumpage valuation at the time of harvest-
ing of the products paying a yield tax.
In favor of the percentage yield tax the state tax commission
presents the follow-ing argument in brief:
A percentsgc yield tax would avoid overtaxation and would be funda-
mentally just, Inasmuch as it would tax the entire income yielded by
both laud and liuiber, whether received annually or at regular intervals
or iu a lump sum after a period ot years.
A percentage yield tax would enable the owner of forest property to
meet the taxation burden from the income ot the property itself. All
taxation should be paid upon income and in no other way than by a yield
tax can this bo <lone when the property taxed is a growing forest.
A percentage yield tax wotild be simple and easy to administer. There
would be no problems of future expectancy to be worked out, no figuring
of interest on annual taxes deferred, no spe<ulation as to future price

By A. H. Noyes
President, Hills-McCanna Company, Chicago
DuriiifT the past few years tlun'c has bocn a ra|iiilly growiiiK
tendency on the part of manuf.-icturers toward central control of
lubrication. Few industrial manufacturing plants present as many
obstacles for central control as does the saw mill, and perhaps the
very obstacles offered have been responsible for the f;reat advance-
ment toward more efficient and economical methods of distributinfj
lubricant to the varied classes of equipment found in the up-to-
date establishment.
Failure of the oiler to reach important bearings at the proper
time, clogging of gravity systems on account of flying sawdust
and bark, freezing and bursting of hydrostatic machines, changes
in oil flow due to temperature conditions with its consequent reflec-
tion on oil delivery, causing expensive shut downs, and labor con-
ditions, early presented a problem to saw mill operators that
demanded radical departures from previous accepted methods of
oiling, and led to the perfection of the mechanical systems, cen-
trally controlled, that are fast being adopted by progressive lumber
manufacturers throughout the country.
In Figure 1 is shown a centrally controlled force feed oiling
system now operating in the plant of the Marathon Lumber Com-
pany, at Laurel, Miss., which consists of a forty-two feed, two unit
device that operates in parallel.
The two units are mounted on a specially constructed table in
the main engine room, and are driven indirectly from the eccentric
of a Filer & Stowell Corliss engine.
The eighteen feed two compartment unit supplies cylinder and
machine oil to the steam cylinders and liearings on the short side,
Fig. 1 — "Central Station" of force feed oiKng system
Fig. 2 — A six-feed lubricator on a Wickes gang saw
and the twenty-four feed two compartment unit serves like equip-
ment on the long side.
Both machines are driven directly from the jack shaft mounted
back of the machines, which is driven directly off the eccentric on
the engine, and either unit may be disconnected from the driving
mechanism when one side of the mill is not in operation.
The lubricator serving this mill, as can be noted in the cut,
embodies many interesting features.
It will be noticed that all working parts of the oil pumps are
on top of the reservoir, in plain view of the engineer, where
repairs or adjustments may be quickly attended to. Each pump
valve is a separate unit; which permits regulation to take care of
the varied requirements of each point lubricated, disconnecting
when the machine is out of service, and repairing when needed,
without interfering with the operation of the other jiumps, or
stopping the power.
Cross Section View
A cross section of the pumping unit shows a one-piece casting,
in which all complex parts have been eliminated, and by which
the oil is passed from the oil reservoir, through a mechanical sight
feed to the point to be lubricated. The oil is neither subjected to
atmospheric pressure nor does it come in contact with steam from
the time it leaves the oil reservoir until it reaches the delivery
point. No possibility exists, therefore, for the device to become
air bound, causing failure to deliver through the pipes, and- the
full lubricating qualities of the oil are realized.
By individual adjustment of each pump valve, just the right
amount of oil is delivered to each of the machines and steam
cylinders, in accordance with their needs, both as to service ren-
dered, and speed at which they are driven.
The mechanical sight feed, being on the discharge side of the
pump, shows the oil actually flowing to the point to be lubricated,
and functions equally as well a thousand feet away from the pump
as it does when placed directly at the pump, whether in a vertical
or horizontal position, upright or upside down. A special ball
20
HARDWOOD RECORD
July 10. 1821
eheck regulates tlic flow of oil to the point of lubrication, keeping
it uniform.
At tlie delivery end of the pipe lino another check is placed to
keep the oil lines full of oil, ready to deliver at the first stroke of
the pump, which eliminates the need for an auxiliary hand pump,
or a hand crank on the lubricator itself, to flood the point to be
lubricated when starting the power. Steam, or water, arc also
prevented from entering the oil lines by this feature.
Delivering the Oil
Although the various steam units throughout the mill offer little
difiiculty to force-feed lubrication, the delivery of oil to movable
high speed bearings on various saws, planers, etc., present a dif-
ferent aspect. Not only must the flow of oil to these bearings be
constant and in sufficient quantities, but some provision must be
made for a connection to follow these movements, or allow saws
to be changed with the least possible delay. A solid pipe line, rigid
in construction, was not adaptable for reasons apparent. The
manufacturers of the oiling system solved the problem by carrying
the piping to a convenient point near the bearing, and completed
the circuit with a special flexible metallic coupling,. installing a
combination check and sight feed attachment, so that oil delivery
might be watched in operation.
By the use of the units described, the control of the lubrication
of all important points in the entire plant has been centered in the
engine room, under the constant supervision of a competent
mechanic, the engineer. Since points on the main engine are lubri-
cated from these units, the engineer naturally watches their per-
formance, and consequently the lubrication of the entire mill,
closer than if he had only his own devices to observe.
The risk of freezing or bursting hydrostatic machines is done
away with, as is also the constant adjusting and superintendence
necessary for this equipment. The filling and regulating opera-
tion for twenty or thirty of these machines all over the mill,
requiring from five to ten minutes each, twice a day, is concen-
trated in the one operation by pouring oil from oil can to pump
reservoir in the engine room, and forgetting it for the rest of the
day. No shut off in the oil supply, or wastage in filling occurs.
By distributing oil to the important bearings in dangerous places,
drop by drop over a period, the oiler is relieved for other important
work, or for looking after less important oiling in less dangerous
locations.
Firo risk is reduced because the oil is carried in pipes direct to
the delivery point, and since just the right amount of oil is deliv-
ered at all times, no oil reaches the floor.
While the central lubrication plant is highly desiraVde in the
general classes of saw mill machines, there are certain machines
which can be best served by local application of lubricant, that is, a
on account of their peculiar functions are not dependent on the
rest of the plant for operation.
An Individual System
An interesting example of this inclividual system is shown in the
application of a six-feed lubricator on a Wickcs gang saw, that per-
mits the ojierator to do his own lubricating mechanically and to
check up on the oil delivery at any time by the sig^it feed feature.
See Figure 2.
The lubricator is driven from the oscillation, which synchronizes
its motion with the gang, the motion to the lubricator being trans-
ferred from the oscillation to the main frame of the gang, where
by means of a bell crank it turns at right angles and rises ver-
tically up the side of the frame to a second bell crank, and thence
to the lubricator.
The pump supplies oil to the two bottom slides, the outboard
and quarter box bearings, and delivers oil to the crank pin under
pressure bj' means of a special crank pin oiling connection.
A clever departure from the accepted method of oiling the crank
pin by centrifugal force is a special feature of the lubricating sys-
tem described herein.
The usual method is to use a rigid stand, which rises from the
floor in line with the axis of the shaft, the oil being delivered to
this point by gravity, passes into a hollow ball arrangement,
traveling to the crank pin by centrifugal force. The enlarged
opening necessary to receive the delivery stem, and allow for its
movement, permits dust and grit to enter the oil line and stop the
delivery of oil.
In the gang saw installation, constant pressure is maintained
from the pump to the crank pin by a packed stuifing box floating
joint arrangement, that automatically adjusts itself without undue
friction at any position in tlie stroke. The flexible metallic
coupling from the pipe line to the stationary spindle in the stuffing
box enables the dust proof circuit to be completed, and clean oil
is forced drop by drop at regular intervals into the crank pin as
needed.
The manufacturer's claims for economy are substantiated by
voluntary statements from owners and operators reporting sav-
ings of from 35 to 50 per cent in oil, 50 to 60 per cent in labor, and
5 to 10 per cent in increased efficiency in the operation of
machinerv.

value of tile yiohl anil the nmmint of the t;ix linve ;it all times a tixeil

A percentage yield tax would enable the iuvestor to calculate with
practical certainty the future eost of carrying the iuvestinent.
A percentage yield ta.x would minimize the investor's hazards from tire,
natural causes or natural enemies. Under the ad valorem general property
tax system the owners of forest property may liave paid taxes on timber
value tor a period of years only to have such value wiped out by (ire or
other causes. In the ease of a yield tax system of taxation, it any part
of the expected yield is destroyed, the part destroye<l ,is automatically
cancelled : a situation which makes the entire conununity as well as the
owner interested in preserving the property from destruction.
The tax commission has also recommended to the legislature that
standing timber whore owned separately from the land shall hb
considered personal property and assessed accordingly, and further
providing that the state may enter upon the lands and remove the
timber to satisfy the taxes without constituting trespass upon
the lands.
Another recommendation comes in the effort to straighten out
the now much confused term "in transit." Under the existing
laws it is provided that forest products ' ' in transit ' ' shall be
assessed at destination. Some lumbermen have taken advantage
of this to pile up their logs around water courses and along railroad
sidings and leave them there for years, claiming always that they
are "in transit" and they therefore have escaped taxation. It is
now proposed to limit the "in transit" period to six months, after
which logs so piled up will be taxed as personal property in the
township in which they lie.
It is not at all uncommon in the northern part of Michigan to
find big hardwood logs lying year after year by a railroad spur
waiting until the furniture factories or the broom handle factories
or the other hardwood manufacturing factories are ready to use
them.
One bill has already been introduced in the legislature covering
one of the points made by the state tax commission, and in view
of the fact that Michigan is financially embarrassed and one of the
big tasks of the governor and his administrative board is to find
money with which to meet the expenses of the government, it is
altogether likely that bills covering all the suggestions of the com-
mission will soon make their appearance.

News from the National Capital
The permanent tariff bill, six months in preparation lias been
submitted to the House by the Ways and Means Committee, and
althougli tlio name of no nation except the United States is
mentioned, many of the provisions are aimed directly at Canacbi,
particularly with reference to lumber, wood pulp and print paper.
The bill expressed the desire of the committee that President
Harding proceed with negotiation to remove restrictions put upon
exportation of lumber and lumber products by the Dominion and
various provincial governments of Canada and provides for re-
taliatory action if the negotiations are not successful.
The fourth schedule is devoted to wood and its manufactures,
and the principal duties are as follows:
On timhcr, hewn, sided, or squared, otherwise thun by sawing and
round timber, one-half a cent a cubic foot.
Logs of fir. spruce. Western luinlocli. $1 per 1.000 board feet. It is
provided that such logs may In- impcu-ted free from any country that has
"not at any time during the I'J months immediately preceding the
importation in to the fnited States ni.iintained any embargo, prohibition
or other restrictions," upon importations to the United States.
Shingles. 50 cents a 1,000.
Furniture, 25 per cent ad valorem.
One Of the most important provisions of the bill is that for
levying the proposed duties on the basis of American valuation.
The extent to which this provision will operate to increase the
rates over those proposed in the Payne law, is one of the principal
elements of difficulty in any effort to compare the two.
The provision for American valuation is provided in the bill's
definition of the word "value." The word is defined as meaning
'"the price on the date of exportation of the imported merchan-
dise at which comparable and competitive products of the United
States were ordinarily sold or freely offered for sale in the usual
wholesale quantities to all purchasers in the ordinary
course of trade, including all costs, charges and expenses in the
principal markets of the United States."
If the value cannot be determined to the satisfaction of tlic
appraising officer on this basis, the value of the imported mer-
chandise for sale in the United States shall be taken as the value
for the calculation for the duty. In determining the value for
sale, appraisers are authorized to take into consideration the sell-
ing price or cost of production of comparable products of the
United States, not sold in usual wholesale (piantities or not sold
or freely offered for sale in the ordinary course of trade, and the
selling price of comparalilc imports, or the selling price or market
value or cost of production of the imported merchandise in the
foreign country.
Appraising officers are instructed to keep always in mind "the
legislative intention that duties ad valorem shall be assessed upon
the fair market value of the imported merchandise of the United
States. ' ' The bill provides that no pretended or fictitious sale
shall be held to establish the value "nor shall a value substan-
tially raised or lowered at the time of exportation otherwise than
in the ordinary course of trade, be deemed to be such value."
The duties of the bill apply to all articles when imported from
any foreign country into the United States or any of its posses-
sions, except the Philippines, the Virgin Islands and the Islands
of Guam and Tutuila. The customary provisions are made for
Cuban reciprocity and for free admission of Philippine products.
The Fordney bill ;s expected to yield between $500,000,000 and
$600,000,000 in revenue annually.
An increase in the lumber output, due to seasonal causes, was
reported during May, but orders in all cases have not kept pace
with the larger output, the Federal Reserve Board states in its
survey of business conditions for June. Since June 1, yellow pine
sales have fallen below current productions as the ilemand for
lumber for structural purposes steadily has fallen off.
Building operations during May show decreases from April in
some districts, but in the majority of the Districts increases arc
shown, the Board reports. As a whole, building has continued
steady from April to May this year, in the face of a large drop
last year, and thus has not been affected by seasonal developments.

The opening gun of the Department of Justice in its campaign
against associations operating under the open price plan, which
involves the exchange between members of statistics which enable
them to regulate production and prices as a unit, was fired on
June 30, when suit was filed by the Government in New York
against the Cement Manufacturers' Protective Association.
As in the Hardwood case which is now pending in the United
States Supreme Court, the Government asks the dissolution of the
association or any other organization of similar character, and,
according to a statement issued by Attorney General Dougherty,
indicates that the Government may seek a preliminary in.iunction
pending final hearing in the case.
The statement of the Attorney General, in which he refers to
the "open-price" plan, sa.ys:
The Cement Manufacturers' Protective Association is organized along
the lines of what has come to be generally known as the "Eddy plan"
the "new competition" "open price plan" and "open c^mipetition plan."
The forms of these plans vary in minor details, but the outstanding and
fundamental principle of all is the exchange between mcmliers of compre-
hensive statistical data which enables each to know what his com-
petitor is doing.
For some time past the investigation of every coiiiplaint of alleged
violation of the Sherman .\nti-Trust Act invariably has led to the door
of one of these associations. The memltcrs. of the Association adopt a
constitution and fill their minutes with disclaimers of any intention to
violate the law. As soon as the .\ssociatifin l)eg1ns to function properly,
the price of the commodity in which its members are interested begins
to advance and the customary signs of competition begin to disappear.
Memphis Is Quiet After Good June
The Memphis hardwood market is suffering, to a slight extent,
from the summer dullness incident to this particular season. De-
mand is slowing down somewhat and it is not anticipated that Julv
will be a month of large activity. Much encouragement, however,
is extracted from the fact that the total of June sales was the
largest for any month since the depression of last fall made its
appearance. Business was confined largely to firsts and seconds,
selects and No. 1 common, with a fair sprinkling of orders for No.
2 common in oak and gum. The lower grades did not move very
freely though toward the end of the month there were fair trans-
actions in No. 3 common gum, which went to box makers and
miscellaneous consumers. Manufacturers of flooring and interior
trim were by far the heaviest liuyers during the month. There
was some increase in demand from furniture manufacturers while
wholesalers increased their purchases to a moderate extent. The
buying was almost completely at a standstill and there is very little

Buyers Mean Business in Grand Rapids
Sales During First Week of July Market Promise Better Times for Furniture
Industry; Neamess of Stabilization of Prices Is Evident;
Prices Are on Bed Rock
By Staff Correspondent
If the first week of the Grand Rapids furniture market which
closed July 2, is any indication of w^hat the balance will be, the
furniture industry seems headed for somewhat better times during
the balance of this year. They are not going to be hilarious times
by any manner of means, no "sold up" signs have been hung out
nor ^vill be hung out, but a good, steady, conservative business
may be looked foi through the balance of the summer and during
the holidays.
The record for attendance in the first w^eek was 503 buyers and
they represented practically every section of the country — some
thirty-five states being represented. This mark is slightly higher
than that of a year ago for the corresponding w^eek and the atmos-
phere w^hich the buyers brought w^ith them was vastly different
from that of a year ago.
Last year the buyers came with a grouch and a grudge. They
were strongly objecting to the "price prevailing" basis of doing
business. Because the manufacturer, to protect himself, refused
to guarantee a price, the buyers met in Chicago during the market
and organized the Retail Furniture Dealers* Association of the
United Stales and resolved that they w^ould buy no merchandise
on a price prevailing basis. Some of the more hot headed buyers
even went to the extreme of cancelling some of the orders they had
previously placed on that basis and the market fell pretty flat. The
price prevailing grouch was, however, merely a camouflage, an
excuse for not buying. They had come w^ith the determination of
buying but little because most of them thought they could see the
drop coming, and it did come only a month later, and many previous
orders were quickly cancelled.
Again in January the buyers had a grudge. They insisted the
manufacturer had not cut his prices to the lowest possible mark
nor had he made any attempt to do what they called the "right
thing." Again this was camouflage, for most of them had plenty
of merchandise in their warehouses and with business dull and
none knowing just w^hat stood before they w^ere not eager to buy
at all and they didn't. They desired to test out the public and to
unload the stocks they had on hand.
Buyers Mean Business.
This July season everything is vastly different. Most of the
buyers so far have come with serious, businesslike countenances
and yet with confidence in the future and an air of optimism. Most
of them have been fairly successful with their spring sales and
most of them have not only unloaded their heavy high priced
stocks but are practically cleaned out of all furniture. During
the last several months, since the demoralization in prices came,
they have been living from hand-to-mouth, ordering only enough
furniture to keep themselves afloat until the market arrived and
they found out what was to be expected in the w^ay of new designs
and new prices.
Success in their spring sales has given them confidence in success
for the August sales and for the holiday trade. They have found
that by marking their own prices down low, taking a short profit
and turning it over fast they can make money and sell furniture.
The next thing they wanted to know was whether the manufac-
turers had seen the light and done likewise and whether they
might expect to see a stabilization of prices for the balance of the
year.
Upon their arrival in the market they found the prices had been
marked down to as near rock bottom as could be hoped or expected.
They found there had been no attempt on the part of the manufac-
turers to get together either upon a price fixing basis or upon a
uniform reduction basis. Each manufacturer had figured his own
costs carefully and then had added a very reasonable margin of
profit and so msiked the price of his goods. The result is that
the July market is chock full of real bargains in furniture.
Manufacturers in several instances have tried the experiment of
asking buyers to fix a price upon certain suites, the manufac-
turer's price being concealed while this was being done. In every
instance so far as it has yet come to my notice the buyer has fixed
a price considerably higher than the manufacturer had. This news
quickly spreads through the market and the result is a feeling
that the manufacturer has actually made a real cut in the price
of his furniture and everybody seems to feel satisfied that it has
been enough.
No Bluffing Evident.
Just before the opening of the market there came reports that
buyers were again going to try to break the market, that they
would hold off buying at least one week in the hope that they bring
about a condition such as prevailed in January. Indeed this w^ord
was quite generally handed around on the night of June 26, the
night before the opening of the market and after the great throng
of eastern buyers had arrived.
But Monday morning almost every buyer w^ent immediately
to the show^ rooms and the placing of orders began forthw^ith.
Let it not be misunderstood. They did not rush in as they did
two years ago and demand furniture regardless of price. They
placed no startling orders, but about everybody did place orders
of more or less volume which effectually shut off any attempt
if one was intended — to break the market. A considerable number
of chain stores were represented among the early arrivals and
many of these did not buy. A scout, so to speak, was sent on in
advance to find out what had happened in the market. What they
intend doing w^as w^ell expressed by one owner of a big Ohio
chain, who said: "I came this week to see what was doing. I am
satisfied. I'll be back next week and bring my gang." Several
such expressions w^ere heard with the result that it may be expected
the second week of the market will be vastly better than the first
one w^as. This also may be said as being absolutely true. The
manufacturer who has put his prices right down to rock bottom and
who is offering something new in design got business in the first
week and will continue to get business the balance of the market.
The manufacturer w^ho failed in one or both of these respects
has also failed to get orders and will continue to so fail. The
buyer is looking for bargains most certainly because he has found
that the only way he can sell. goods to the public Is by the bargain
route. In this market, the buyer has been able to find bargains
the rule, high prices the exception.
Buying in the first wras w^eak without doubt seriously affected,
too, by the calendar. With Independence Day following Sunday
and with the Big Fight on in the East Saturday, a great many
buyers did not come in the first week and a great many more came,
took a look, perhaps placed a few^ orders, and rushed back home
to their $50 seats in the big pine bowl. But these have all said
they were coming back to finish up business and the second week
July 10, 1921

is confidently expected to show some real buying and a very large
number of buyers present.
Stabilization Approaches
As to stabilization of prices, in which buyers are equally inter-
ested with manufacturers, it may be said that in the first week
of the market there was no concerted attempt to beat prices down
below what they are, very little objection to the prices found on
the goods and no inclination on the part of manufacturers to
make any further cut. Indeed some of them are guaranteeing
their prices for five or six months and all this is serving to give
a stability to the market which it has not known since the days
of the war. Immediately following the war, prices w^ere marked up
even as the buyer deliberated on w^hether to take a particular
suite or not. Since last January furniture has been sold at what-
ever price the buyer was willing to pay with the result that a large
share of it w^as sold below cost of production. This market seems
headed toward stabilization. It is the desire of everybody and it
will in all liklihood come about.
Lumber dealers who are present in the market are feeling more
than optimistic over the outlook. Most of them profess to see a
return of demand for cabinet woods. Indeed some rather decent
orders have been placed recently because furniture manufacturers
are themselves convinced that lumber prices will not go lower and
that lumber at present prices is a good buy.
The whole tone of the industry is vastly better than for several
years. It looks as if the manufacture of furniture might shortly
place itself upon a sound and conservative basis. That is the aim
and the desire of all concerned and it looks as if their hopes and
ambitions might soon be realized.
William B. Baker, secretary-manager of the National Association
of Chair Manufacturers, made a most encouraging report to his
constituents on the first three days of the Grand Rapids market.
In part, Mr. Baker said:
"Buyers are actually placing orders induced by the low values
on new designs. Buying applies to all types of furniture shown in
the market. While individual orders are not large, yet immediate
shipment is wanted for merchandise ordered.
'The atmosphere of the Grand Rapids Market is distinctly
one of confidence on the part of the sellers and a great improve-
ment is apparent in their attitude over that of last January.
New designs have such marked value over the regular or
staple patterns that factories will doubtless be unable to ship the
new designs as fast as the trade desires.
"Minimum chair values are priced more in line with each other
than w^as the case in January, hence the market is largely devoid
of criticism or comparison.
"The luncheons of chair manufacturers were well attended on
Tuesday and Wednesday and a canvass of conditions indicated
that practically every line represented had booked more business
the first three days than was the case during the entire first week
last January.
"It is safe to predict that the present prices of furniture will
compel the retail merchant to greatly reduce prices of furniture
now^ on hand resulting in further liquidation of stock and a greater
necessity to place orders w^ith the manufacturer in the next few
months. 1 found no chair factory making any guarantees of
prices whatsoever. A few lines advise that when the market
season closes some patterns will be advanced in price as they are
now too low to be satisfactory."
Mr. Baker expressed the opinion that there will be no fluctua-
tions in chair prices whatsoever during this market because of
the thorough manner in which these prices have been figured
down to rock bottom. *
Buyers Buy on Chicago Furniture Market
The furniture industry is promised a continued steady progress
back tow^ard the long swing of normalcy by conditions made mani-
fest during the first two weeks of the Chicago mid-summer market.
Very little business was done during the week which preceded
Independence Day, but buying began in substantial volume on
Tuesday, July 5.
This day w^as rated by practically all the exhibitors as really the
first day of the market and in the main the exhibitors were'pleased
w^ith the number of buyers and amount of business secured. Nearly
700 buyers registered at the manufacturers' building, "Thirteen
Nineteen" South Michigan boulevard, and they began buying im-
mediately.
Buying on this market is distinguished by a careful conservatism.
The buyers are doing a great deal of shopping. They are buying
in no large volume and they insist on being shown that prices are
figured closely. But the point is that they are buying. They are
canny, but they are taking merchandise. There is apparently no
effort to conduct on this market a buyers' strike, such as featured
the January market.
As usual the rumor was floating about the Chicago market that
the exhibitors at "The Rapids" had been slashing prices. But
little attention was paid to this kind of talk and it was discounted
to zero by the fact that buyers who had just come from Grand
Rapids w^ere placing orders.
Thus far there has been no evidence on the Chicago market of
a break in prices, such as demoralized the January market. Ap-
parently the great majority of the exhibitors, especially the manu-
facturers, are determined to adhere to the prices with w^hich they
entered the market. The manufacturers co-operated with the
efforts of their various associations and opened the market with
prices figured down to rock-bottom on carefully compiled costs.
Almost without exception those with whom Hardwood Record
talked said that their prices are as low as they can be figured
under present costs and that they are not going to budge a nickel.
There appear wide differences in the prices of virtually the same
items, because of the differences in costs and methods of figuring
costs. But apparently these differences must stand, because the
manufacturers are not trying to meet one another's prices, but
intend to sell their stock as cheaply as they can according to cost.
They are demonstrating their confidence in the stability of present
quotations by gviaranteeing against decline for periods of from
three to six months.
This firmness is increasing the confidence of the buyers each day
and building up the size of orders. It is suspected to sustain a
good volume of buying throughout the market.
The third week of the market is expected to improve upon the
two preceding, as many buyers deferred their buying until the
semi-annual meeting of the National Retail Furniture Dealers'
Association could be held, on July 7 and 8. Others put off their
appearance in Chicago until time for the convention. Thus it is
expected that the climax of buying will be reached during the
week beginning July 1 I.
An especially good business is being done on the Chicago market
by offerers of day beds, davenports, davenettes and other space-
economizing sleeping appliances, indicating little improvement in
the shortage of housing facilities in the country.
Walnut again leads the other woods in popularity, but more
oak is in evidence on this market than for several years. Oak
is evidently enjoying a rapid "come-back," because of the radical
reduction in price of oak, making a substantial differential between
articles of furniture made of that wood and walnut or mahogany.
Some exhibitors are featuring oak this time and notable among
these is the Knox-Hutchins Furniture Company. This concern
is really showing some exceptional designs in oak dining room
suites and davenport tables. They are offering dining room suites
in the early English and Italian Renaissance periods in the antique
and the dusted polychrorr.e finish.- These are medium priced suites
with all the style and individual beauty generally found only in
costly oak suites manufactured to special order. These offerings
are enjoying a most favorable reception from the trade.

Memphis Is Quiet After Good June

demand from overseas eyen yot. However, it is expected that
settlement of the coal strike in the United Kingdom will stimulate
demand from that country though it is problematical when liusi-
ne.ss in that direction will begin again.
June was a very poor moiitli from a manufacturing standpoint,
for the reason that the vast majority of producers of hardwood
lumber contented themselves with completing the sawing of logs
brought over from the previous season, with talcing care of con-
tract timber or with doing absolutely nothing. There has per-
haps never been a month at any season of the year when produc-
tion was so extensively curtailed. This very limited output taken
in conjunction with the largest sales of the year, has resulted in
a substantial reduction of stocks. This loss is relatively heavier
in the case of firsts and seconds than in any other grade. The
next heaviest loss has been in Xos. 1 and 2 common, with No. 1
common easily leading. Inroads on the extremely low grades have
been comparatively small for the reason that sales and shipments
have been so light. From the standpoint of the producer, the
stock situation is considerably better than at any time this year,
but it is quite apparent, from the inactivity in both logging and
manufacturing ojierations, that there must be still further improve-
ment in the relations between supply and demand before there
will be general resumption of either logging or manufacturing.
The tendency is still toward slight improvement in prices. The
higher grades, because of their relative scarcity, are firm and have
moved up somewhat further during the past thirty days. There
has likewise been a little improvement in No. 1 common. The
lower grades, however, have shown comparatively little price varia-
tion though some members of the trade sav the tone is better.
Members of the trade in Memphis are confident that there will
be a better demand by Aug. 1. They generally anticipate that July
will be quiet but they believe that furniture manufacturers will
substantially increase their purchases after this month, particularly
if the furniture shows now under way result in as large sales as
now suggested. The notable activity in building ojierations all over
the United States is believed to furnish the basis for continued buy-
ing oil the part of manufacturers of flooring, sash, doors and interior
trim while limited stocks in the hands of other consumers, as well
as at distributing points, imply the necessity of constant rei)lenish-
ment if there is any activity whatever on the part of users.
The lack of activity in the woods is receiving increasing atten-
tion at the hands of the trade. It is pointed out that the vast major-
ity of those who own their timber are leaving it severely alone for
the time being. It is likewise emphasized that those who do not own
mills and who must depend on the open market for their outlet
are doing very little for the reason that they are finding little or
no encouragement from their usual customers. Attention is being
called to the fact that there are virtually no logs being offered for
shipment on the Mississippi and its tributaries. It is likewise being
stressed that logging forces have been dispersed and that the}' are
completely disorganized, with the result that quite a time will be
required to get them together again for effective work. It is sug-
gested, in some quarters, that, unless logging forces are gotten
together and work is started in the woods pretty soon, the quantity
of timber available for fall and winter use will be dangerously
small. Manufacturing operations, when resumed, will be dependent
largely on log supplies, and, viewed from this angle, it is conceded
by the majority that there is nothing very promising or encourag-
ing in the outlook for hardwood production.
Fight for Rate Cut Will Continue
"The hardwood lumber industry is determined to make every
possible effort to secure readjustment of freight rates on hardwood
lumber and forest products because it realizes that, if rates are not
soon lowered, the present adjustment w'ill be fastened indefinitely
upon shippers of hardwood lumber and forest products."
This statement was made by S. M. Nickey, president of the
Southern Hardwood Traffic Association, following receipt
of advices from the executive officials of the principal railroads
that they could not lower freight rates as requested by the asso-
ciation during the recent conferences at Washington.
It may be stated, in this connection, that the association has no
idea whatever of abandoning the fight for lower rates. It believes
that jjresent freight rates are largely responsible for the failure of
lumber to move to market more freely, and it is planning to con-
tinue its efforts to secure what it considers reasonable rates. It is
stated that, if the move about to be made does not bring some
relief, the association will file informal complaint with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission in the effort to secure lower rates on
lumber moving from producing points to consuming destinations
and on logs moving from the woods to milling centers.
The association is on record as favoring complete elimination of
the advances made last August, ranging from 25 to 40 per cent, so
far as hardwood lumber and forest products are concerned.
Eefusal of the railroads to lower rates on hardwood lumber and
forest products after the conference at Washington June 2 marks
the second turndown W'hich the lumber industry has received at the
hands of the executives of the principal railroads. The first fol-
lowed the conference at Memphis held early in March, when the
railroads made it clear, through their representatives, that they
are suffering much more severely than those engaged in the hard-
wood lumber industrv.
Lumber Trade Customs
Substitution of Transit Cars for Direct Mill Shipments
'J'HK F.VC'l'.s : .\ wliolesiili'v, who Is also a retailer, purchased a cir of
fir lumber for shipment to his Ohio address. The order was placed with
a wholesaler In Miunesota and speeifled "Direct Jlill Shipment Only" so
that privili'ge of recuuslgnmeut on through rates yvould accrue to Iniyer.
The seller later undertook to till the order by diverting a car which had

previously been ordered reconsigned to a New York City customer with
whom some misunderstanding developed. Invoice was sent to the buyer
without any B/L or advice as to how the car was being bandied, thus
leading him to believe same was a direct mill shipment according to his
order. Upon receipt of invoice the buyer got in touch with the railroads
in an effort to locate the shipment and divert same to a customer in North
Carolina, -ifter tracing same for 45 days he discovered that the car had
gone to New York City and immediately wired the seller suggesting that
the latter either forward the shipment to North Carolina, at seller's loss
on through rate, or make other disposition. The seller undertook to for-
ward the shipment as suggested, but failed after trying for a month to
do so, due to congestion in the New York terminals. Thereupon seller
diverted another car of identical loading, which he had in transit, to
buyer's Ohio address. Meanwhile, however, buyer had notifitvl seller that
he could wait no longer and not to undertake to substitute another ship-

was refused. After somo negotiations lie unloaded the car In his yard
for seller's account and both sulmiitted to arbitration the question as to
whether ()r not buyer should neeept same.
THE DISPUTE: Huyer lontendiHl that he was under no obligations to
aeeept the substitute shipment, Hrst, because of unreasonable delay, aud
second, because it was a divertnl ear. hence not in accordance with con-
tract. Seller's contention was. lirst, tliat delay was caused primarily by
error of carriers in not iliverting the New Yorli car as Instructed, and for
which he was not responsible : and secouil. that terms of order were com-
plied with by diverting a transit car. jirovlded he paid the recousigniug
charge.
THE DI'^CISION : Held, that car originally invoiced was acceptable to
the buyer as applying on his order and that the seller first violated his
contract by attempting to divert from in transit without the knowledge
and consent of the buyer, a car that was first consigned to another cus-
tomer. The contract specitically prohibited applying any reconsigued ship-
ments. The seller failed in his duty to his customer by permitting him to
continue tracing througli the railroad companies for location of the ship-
ment aud permitting him to learn through the railroad agency what had
become of the car. The seller had no right to attempt to ship a second
car from the coast to apply on this order at a date far beyond when the
first shipment should have arrived at destination without first having the
consent of the buyer to do so. 'I'ho buyer advised the seller on May 12
they would not accept a substitute shipment. The seller diverted a ship-
ment on May 15. or three days later, which shipment had left the coast
on May 5. to buyer at his Ohio adilress. We find that the buyer is fully
Justified in refusing to accept the substitute car under an obligation to
pay for it on the original order and invoice, and tliat it is only fair and
right that the seller be obligi'd to either make other disposition of the car
or a new contract with Ilicir intemled customer at price and terms to be
agreed upon.

Bigelow Corrects Error on Tariff
In pressing for the adoption of the lumber schedule in the Fordney Tariff
Bill the American lumber manufacturer is only asking for full reciprocity
with. Canada and seeks no special advantage, Charles A. Bigelow of the
Kneeland Bigelow Lumber Company, Bay City, Mich., stated in an inter-
view recently given to the press of his home city. Mr. Bigelow uttered
his remarks in reply to a statement made In Washington on the lumber
tariff question by Donald D. Conn of the Northwestern Lumber Retailers
and Manufacturers' Association, which Mr. Bigelow says was misleading
and gave the wrong impression of tlie question. Mr. Conn had said :
"A 25 per cent ad valorem duty on finished lumber as proposed by the
Ways and Means Committee would add ?2.50 to the cost of every $5,000
house constructed in the United States at a time when practically every
state is adopting special measures to promote home building. The final
adopt ion of this unreasonable measure would counteract nil the good
which has l)een done by local communities to revive the buililiug industry.
The lumlier proilucers have not requested and a majority do not want any '
tariff on Hnlsheil lund)er from Canada." ,
In his reply Mr. Higelow said it should l>e "thoroughly understood that
the Fordney l)ill does not propose any tariff on rough itimber. It will con-
tinue to come In duty free, as at present.
".Ml that the Auu'rican lumber manufacturer asks of his government is •
tliat it levy the same duty on manufnctureil or milbMl lund>er that Cauaila
is levying, ami if Canada lets our milled lumber in free that we give the
Canadian product the same privilege. In other words, what is proposed
is full reciprocity. Our position on this matter was fairly stated by Mr.
Allen, secretary-treasurer of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association,
who testified before the committee as follows : 'The association dot's not
come liefore your committee asking iireferentiai treatment, that is In the
attitude of special pleailers. but is asking for recljirocai iluties — reciprocal
with tlie Canadian tariffs now in existence or that may hereafter be put
into effect.'
"Under jiresent conditions the Canadian manufacturer has a monopol.v
of the manufacture of lumber in Canada through the levying of a 25
per cent duty on Imports, aud he is undoubtedly exacting the $250 per
home which it has been stated wcuild be charged builders if the new tariff
goes into effect in this country.
"American lumber manufacturers believe that if we establish a duty as
high as that of Canada's that the latter government will eliminate her
rates entirely. All we are asking are the same rates as Canada or no duty
at all should Canada do likewise."
Milling-In-Transit Tariff Issued
The Southern lliinlwond 'I'lallic .\ssociatiiiii announces receipt of tariffs
of the Illinois Central and Louisville & Nashville at Memphis and the
Southern Railway at Cincinnati, effective July 20, 1921, iu compliance with
the decision of the interstate commerce commission In the famous transit
case successfully conducled by the former organization. • ■ '■ .
These tariffs permit the stopping of lumber at these points for co^aceu.-.
tration, yarding, grading, sorting, storage, drjing, re-sawing, dressing,
planing or further manufacture, for a period of one year, with shipment
of the outbotin<l protluct at through rate from point of origin, plus a reason-
able charge for the stop-over privilege. This charge is 2'«e per hundred
pounds in tlie case of the Illinois Central and Southeru and Ic in the case
of the Louisville & Nashville. It is not necessary to ship kind for kiud,
as oak lumber can l>e shipped where gum logs are brought in and vice-versa
throughout the list. The association regards the charge of 2VjC per hun-
dred pounds as ratlier high and will seek to have this reduced to the Louis-
ville & Nashville basis of one cent.
The other roads entering Memphis must have their tariffs ready by the
effective date ami it is expected that this will be accomplished.
While the tariffs have not been analyzed with a view to determining
just what the saving will l>e to lumber manufacturers and owners of wood-
working enterprises at these points, officials are of the opinion that it
will amount to approximately 20 per cent over present rates. Present
transit arrangements are only partial while the new tariffs must make
them general. Present tariff arrangements carry only modest concessions
while the new ones will carry quite extensive ones.
It was stated, when the transit case was in progress, that the association
would seek to have transit arrangements applied to other points than
Memphis. Louisville aud Cincinnati, in the event it was successful. It is
therefore planning to have transit arrangements extended to all points
where these are either desirable or necessary.
J. H. Townsbend, secretary-manager of the association, is authorit.v
for the statement that these transit arrangements will prove a big stimulus
to the estaljlishment of j-ards and manufacturing enterprise at all points
affected. He is quite enthusiastic over the outlook as a result of the early
effectiveness of these tariffs.
In addition to issuance of the new tariffs, the association announces
that transit arrangements published by the Illinois Central on lumber to
be plaued aud reshippod, or manufactured and reshipped, at Cairo. 111.,
have been amended, effective July 11. The amended tariff provides for a
transit charge of 2i/jc per hundred pounds iu aildition to the through rate
and tor extension of the time limit to 12 months. Points on the Gulf
Coast lines and the Memphis & Meridian Railway are also added to the
territory from which the new transit arrangements apply. The amended
tariff, however, the association points out, will not apply on traflic origi-
uatiug prior to July 11, the effective date.
Transit Time Limit Extension Sought
The Southern Hardwood Tratfic Association is making strenuous efforts,
through negotiations direct with the carriers, for extension of the period
for the outbouml movement of forest products made from lumber and
other rough materials brought into milling centers on net rates. This
period is only one year and the majority of manufacturers who have
brought iu either logs or other rough materials during the past year have
not yet shipped out the products made therefrom because of market or
other conditions. They are, therefore, confronted with the necessity of
paying the difference between net and gross rates on the inbound move-
ment, amounting to three to four cents per hundred pounds, unless an
extension of t1u> time limit for shipping such outbound product is secured. '
These time limits are expiring daily in the case of different firms and,

Concerning Maintenance Costs
Sometimes a sawmill owner is heard lainentiiig tlie excessive
maintenance costs of his transportation units. There are undoubt-
edly a great many instances in which these costs are eating heavily
into the profits of the company. In this reconstruction period in
which we are now passing, and endeavoring to place operations
and industries back to normalcy, it is just such losses and wastes
as these which should be eliminated.
It behooves every manager to diagnose his particular conditions
and seek a remedy. The trouble with most executives today, par-
ticularly those in the allied hardwood industries, is that market
prices and sale conditions are commanding their entire time. A
little attention to the curtailment of operating and maintenance
costs without curtailing or jeopardizing production will be found
just as beneficial.
Every sawmill or logging operation of any importance, no doubt,
has enough motor trucks, automobiles, tractors, trailers and sta-
tionary gas engines to warrant the service of a competent and
experienced inspector.
It should be the duty of this inspector to make a rigid and
systematic inspection of all mechanical units. Such an office is
.absolutely essential to economical operations. It matters not
whether there arc only one truck and one tractor in service, or if
there are one hundred each. Maintenance costs and operating
expenses will be lowered, and depreciation will be greatly reduced;
incidentally the entire operation will be placed on a more efficient
basis.
The error which is being made at present is found in the fact
that in most cases the operator of each rig is required to make an
individual inspection, covering the conditions of the particular
unit under his charge. This is obviously wrong. Experience has
shown that if one man is placed entirely in charge and held
accountable to the management for the efficiency and condition of
all of the mechanical units, closer and more thorough inspection
will result. In some cases, it may be necessary for the inspector
to criticise the operator, who if he had been making his own
inspection would hardly be expected to correct himself.
If there are enough units on the job, a printed inspection form
will be found quite advisable. This form should be filled out by
lliu inspector every time he examines a piece of machinery. It
should show the condition of cylinders, piston, valves, piston rings,
governor, radiator, cooling system, clutch, brake, ignition system
and transmission, and should also show the inspector's opinion
as to the competency of the operator and whether or not the truck
has been overloaded or abused. Such a report should enable the
manager to tell at a glance the true and accurate condition of all
his equipment, and it gives him a complete check of the repair
service. From such a report the management will be able to prede-
termine its repair costs, as well as the work which may reasonably
be expected of each unit.
If this policy is carried out, it is safe to believe that the
inspector's salary will be paid entirely out of the savings in the
repair parts, and lost time as a result of breakdowns will become
fewer and less disastrous.
A Novel Loading Truck
A novel loading truck, tlie joint invention of three Indiana men
— Orii and Eoy Amos and Ephriam A. McKee of Edinburgh — is
useil in loading logs, pipes, boilers or other heavy cylindrical
machinery. It includes a skeleton inclined platform leading to the
body of the truck; chains of sufficient length to engage around the
opposite ends of the cylindrical body to be loaded, and a windlass,
to which the free ends of the chain are attached. At one end of
the windlass is mounted a gear which meshes with a worm gear
that in turn is mounted on a shaft carrying a hand wheel at its
outer end. By providing the worm gear and the w-orm for trans-
mitting power from the driving shaft of the motor to the windlass,
a positive lock is provided, which will prevent the chains from
unwinding the windlass, thus holding the object being loaded at
whatever point same may be positioned when the driving shaft is
disconnected from the motor shaft.
A Study of Motor Truck Logging
The College of Forestry of the University of Washington, Seat-
tle, has published a thesis on "Motor Truck Logging Methods,
which was written by Frederick Malcolm Knapp, a student in the
college. The study is a very thorough one, taking up all phases of
tlie question, beginning with the early development or historical
phases, and subsequently handling costs, comparison with railroads,
loading and hauling methods, equipment, insurance, road construc-
tion, etc.

An Open Letter to
Saw Mill Men about
Their Service to the Public
EVERY year you manufacture from thirty to thirty-two billion
feet of lumber to meet the demands of the public. Every
industry depends on you for its lumber needs.
Manufactured forest products represent the second greatest industry
in America. Agriculture is first. Everyone knows about Agriculture.
But what does the public know about the lumber industry? Its
service, its risks, and hazards?
It is not difficult to understand that people do not think very
intelligently about lumber and the industry. They just don't know.
Educating the Public to under-
stand the lumber industry
YOUR Association— the Nation-
al Lumber Manufacturers'
Association — is going to tell the
story of lumber. No American
industry yet has ever told its
story to the American people.
We will start in ivith the
fundamental facts. And sa-w mill
men, too, probably will learn
more about their own industry.
What the Association is doing
for the lumber industr^■
THIS Association is the logical
spokesman for the lumber in-
dustry— America's saw mill
men.
The National Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association doesn't
sell lumber. It has nothing to do
■with prices. Its functions are:
To study the forestry prob-
lems of the nation.
To increase efficiency in
the manufacture and dis- ■
tribution of lumber.
To eliminate waste in log-
ging and milling.
To promote the proper
utilization of all luinber
products.
To aid in developing by-
products to utilize the lar-
gest possible percentage of
every piece of timber.
A real public service
SUM it all up, its purpose is to
assist the lumber industry to
render a more efficient service
to the public.
The public doesn't know that
your Association publishes a
monthly bulletin of information
about your industry. Or that it
provides a weekly Statistical
Barometer giving current infor-
mation about changes in supply
and demand, and the current pro-
duction and shipments of lumber.
These publications are sent to
the industry, and to the press,
schools, colleges, and banks.
This information is available to
buyers and sellers alike.
All patents developed by the
Association's technical depart-
ment are given to the public.
It has already developed a heavy
timber "mill construction" that
doubles resistance to fire ; an
ordinary frame construction for
houses which is singularly free
from fire hazard. And a book
of "Frame Construction Details,"
designed for strength, saving in
cost and fire retardance.
The public wants to know
about lumber
'T'HE public will be interested
•*- to learn something about
the lumber industry, because
it is face to face with your
achievements every minute of
every hour of every day in
the year.

because of the big difference between net and gross rates, tlie association
regards the securing of extensions as the most important subject con-
fronting the hardwood industry aside from the question of obtaining
readjustment of freiglit ratos generally.
The subject will be handled with the carriers until it is determined
whether or not results can be secured. If nothing comes of the efforts
with the representatives of the railroads, the association is prepared to
carry the matter before the interstate commerce commission.
Lower Rates to West Coast Expected
The Southern Hardwood Traffic Association adTises its members that it
expects early announcement of reductions in rates on lumber and forest
products moving to the Pacific coast. It also states that it has asked the
carriers to reduce westbound rates to the eastbound liasis and that, if this
is done, it will mean a reduction of 30 cents per hundred pounds. It adds
iu this connection ;
"We are confident that the westbound rates will be reduced but are
unable to advise just how much the reduction will be."
Reduction of westbound rates will put manufacturers of hardwood lumber
in the South and Southwest in far better position to compete with Japanese
oak and other hardwoods arriving on the Pacific coast. It was pointed
out at the recent conference with representatives of the carriers that
present rates to the Pacific coast mean complete loss of business for both
the luinbermen and the carrier.s because of impossibility of doing anything
in competition with .Japanese oak and other woods moving on subsidized
rates.
Production of Lumber, Lath and Shingles
A preliminary comparative report on the production of lumber, lath and
shingles tor 1919 has been issued by Director W. M. Steuart of the Bureau
of the Census, Department of Commerce.
The report, which was compiled in co-operation with the Forest Service.
Department of Agriculture, shows the quantities of lumber, lath and shin-
gles manufactured in the United States during the years 1!>00 and 1919.
Figures for the year 1919 are preliminary and subject to such changes as
may be necessary from further examination of the reports.
The figures shown for the two years are comparable and cover the pro-
duction of lumber by custom mills as well as the larger merchant estab-
lishments. During the Intervening years, from 1909 to 1919. the Bureau
of the Census and the Forest Service have compiled and published annual
statistics of the lumber cut. The cut shown for these years, however, did
not iuclude the production by small mills cutting less than 50,000 feet
annually.
The total value, at the mill, of the lumber manufactured during 1919
as reported was approximately $1,043,932,000, or an average of ?30.21
per M feet, as against $684,479,900, or an average of ?15.3S per M feet,
for cut of 1909. The total value for 1919 is based on average values
reported by a majority of the mills. The total value of the lath cut in 1919
was approximately $9,229,000 and of the shingles approximately
$41,118,000.
"From Tree to Trade" Is Popular
The recent publication of The Long-Bell Lumber Company, "From Tree
*o Trade," is meeting with favorable comment among lumbermen. Already
thousands of copies have been distributed. The book was published to
acquaint lumber dealers, architects, engineers, schools and libraries with
methods of modern lumber manufacture, and the response so far has
indicated an unusual interest in the contents of the book.
The volume is an authoritative, lucid exposition of present-day lumber
manufacture on a large scale — of greater Importance and interest to the
lumberman than to any other reader.
-\ny lumberman desiring a copy of the book should address The Long-
Bell Lumber Company, Kansas City, Mo. There is no charge for it.

Information concerning the movement of lumber as published by the
National Lumber Manufacturers' Association in their Weekly Trade

Goodwin Is Very Much Alive
The statement ma<h' in connection with the recent announcement of the
death of A. K. Ilallowell of Indianapolis that he was president of the
Indiana Veneer & Lumber Company has been corrected by that company.
The fact is that the late Mr. Ilallowell was never president nor connected
in any way with this company. The error grew out of the fact that he
was president of the Indiana Lnmiier & Veneer Company of Indianapolis,
which was taken over by -the Indiana Veneer & I-umber Company in 190,j,
at which time Mr. Ilallowell sold all of his interests and retired from the
manufacture of lumber and veneers.
C. L. Goodwin, the president of the Indiana Veneer &*Lumber Company
is very much alive and has just left for an extended tour of European
countries.

Mr. Karges said : "Last year we could not get freight cars fast enough.
This year the southern farmers, who heretofore have bought one-third of
our output, were forced to stop buying and farmers generally cut expendi-
tures to a minimum. If a farmer this year lacked a mower, a wagon or
certain implements, he borrowed from his neighbor. Last year he would

Possibilities in National Advertising
Man Who Conducted Research Work Preliminary to Advertising Drive by
Veneer and Plywood Interests, Explains What Can Be Done
with Material Discovered
The national campaign of advertising of the plywood and
veneer interests is beginning to assume important proportions.
As already announced in the Hardwood Record, fifty thousand
dollars is to be devoted to the direct purpose of trade extension
work for both divisions of the industry, and all of it through the
goodly medium of printers' ink.
Copy for the campaign is in charge of Wm. Clendenin of The
Conover-Mooney Advertising Agency, w^ho conducted the re-
search work on the merit of which the advertising award was
finally made.
In explanation of the plans now under way, Mr. Clendenin in
a special interview for the Hardwood Record said: "It is a far
cry from Rameses II of Egypt to Fitzmorris, Chief of Police of
Chicago, but both used plywood, both knew the principle of
laminated woods reinforced by the alternate crossing of the grain
and the good glue binder under pressure,
"Rameses built his w^ar ships on the plywood principle 3,000
years ago. Chicago's Chief of Police has just ordered the city's
new patrol wagons built to plywood specifications which the de-
partment "was found in every respect superior to steel — not only
lighter and less expensive, but bullet proof and bandit proof.
"First, in order of presentation we hope to disabuse the public
mind of the general misapprehension and prejudice against
veneered furniture. Our research has proved a veritable revela-
tion on this subject. We are in possession of the most ancient
and authoritative proof that veneer was held in the highest esteem
by the masters of period furniture without exception. These
authorities include the brothers Adam, Chippendale, Hepplewhite
and Sheraton himself. We know, for instance, that George Wash-
ington's writing desk was a veneered Sheraton, that the w^riting
cabinet of Dolly Madison was likew^ise, that the wonderful little
cabinet which accompanied Napoleon on the most famous battle-
field of Europe v/as veneered. We have upwards of two hun-
dred photographs of the world's rarest furniture from the days
of the earliest Egyptians, Chaldeans, Assyrians, on through the
fine arts of Greece and Rome, (Caesar's proudest possession was
a veneered table) down through the Renaissance — the w^onderful
handicraft of the Venetian and Florentine schools, the French, the
English and finally our own American and the last word in perfec-
tion of those mechanical processes which are the achievement of
the craftsmen of now^,
"Our photographs alone are, we think, a treasure house of
advertising material. We have the chest of Cornwallis, the
Bureau de Campaign of Napoleon, the writing desk of Thomas
Jefferson, the Coronation Chair of Edward 1, the treasures of
Francis I, patron of Celleni and Rosso. We have drawn liberally
from the English periods, from Boia's lacquers and veneers,
Gesso's "Woods Decorative" — and a host of authorities many of
them lost to the common understanding in the back files and cross
indexes of our great metropolitan libraries; not forgetting the
invaluable sources of the Royal British Institute.
"Now, what are we going to do with all this? 1 think the
question answers itself we are going into the best journals of
America and tell our story, the truth about veneer, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth. We propose to picture these
stories from actual photographs of the most famous furniture,
the classics of the craft. And the big point is that we have the
material in hand with which to do it.
"On the veneer side of our campaign the appeal will be to the
manufacturer and dealer in furniture and to the great buying
public — through the publications best suited to reach the re-
spective classifications. We have a follow-up in preparation
suited, we think, to each; also the offer of special service data
in attractive form calculated to draw direct inquiries. In this
way we expect to render practical and tangible help to the trade,
and to the public through our advertising.
We shall follow the same plan in connection with plywood,
covering both subjects coincidently in the same copy.
'For the plyw^ood section the range of treatment is clear.
There is practically no limit to the development and variety of
plywood uses. For instance, its ever-extending employment wher-
ever resistance to variation in temperature and humidity is a
prime requirement, as in aviation construction, motor boats,
street cars, bodies, shields, screens, panels and, of course, the
already familiar uses. Also, the resistance of plywood to shear
and impact.
Our campaign will be so balanced as to feature these new and
expanding features of plywood; provide bulletins of information
and advice from a central source and otherwise promote the trade
extension feature of plywood.
"It is a heavy task to prepare this joint campaign, keep it in
proper balance and yet do justice to both divisions of the subject —
but it is working out and w^e expect very definite results from
the undertaking. In fact, it is very doubtful if any advertising or
trade extension subject or subjects possess more genuine potential
possibilities, educationally and practically, than does the tw^in
proposition of plywood and veneer. They are at once the most
ancient and the most modern of useful and decorative arts; con-
structive, beautiful and serviceable and it is a commentary on
the present business situation that the leaders in these lines have
the good sense to see it and the courage to go ahead."
When to Machine Casein Glue Joints
Casein glue sets very quickly and produces a joint strong
enough to machine in a few^ hours. In tests at the Forest Prod-
ucts Laboratory casein glue joints in spruce proved as strong as
the wood after four hours and in hard maple after six hours.
When maximum speed of production is essential, such woods may
be machined at the end of the periods stated, without sacrificing
the strength of the joint. In some kinds of work, however,
machining so soon after gluing is not advisable, because of the
danger of warping or the production of sunken joints as the mois-
ture content of the glued w^ood equalizes.
Another important fact brought out by the tests on joint
strength is that joints released from pressure at the end of two
hours and then allowed to season for twenty-two hours proved as
strong as those that had been pressed for tw^enty-four hours. Joints
pressed for only one-half hour and seasoned, although of good
strength, on the average, were somewhat erratic in this respect
and probably would not be dependable where maximum strength
is important.
A loss estimated at $ 1 ,000 was sustained by the Kentucky
Veneer Works recently when sparks from one of the smokestacks
set fire to a room in a sawmill located in a building detached
from the main plant of the company at Thirteenth Street and
Magnolia Avenue. Firemen prevented the flames from spreading
to the other buildings of the plant, thus averting serious loss.

Controlling Moisture in Lumber and Veneers
'iiy J. I\ Hirt.
Vice-president, Forest Products Engineerinj^ Company^ Chicago
( ConfiiiH' tl froin ./inir
Another important factor in our favor is the time required for
the finished product to imbibe or give up moisture. A carload
of crated panels could ordinarily be in transit for a year or more
without any ill effects if they have been treated in accordance
with definitely known conditions and correct practice. The rea-
sons for difficulties on this score are obviously due to a lack of
comparison of conditions in the plant of the veneer and panel
manufacturer and his customer, and an efl'ort to reach a satisfactory
mean E. M. C.
Panels, because of their constructions of plys at right angles,
set up opposing forces that assist greatly in retarding expansion
and contraction.
The same does not apply with veneers and, therefore, greater
accuracy in controlling moisture and more care in shipping should
be exercised. In packing high grade figured veneers, especially
crotch stock and burls, it may be advisable under some extreme
conditions to use a w^rapping of waxed paper.
Packing veneers under pressure is another way to decrease mois-
ture attraction. A simple hand operated plunger press constructed
in your shipping department would not only accomplish this but
at the same time would reduce your crating costs. The crates
are filled under the raised plunger of the press. The plunger is
slotted to receive the top slats of the crate so they can be nailed
in position while the pressure is on. This method can be used
in crating rotary core stock, cross-banding, backs and dimensioned
face stock, but would not apply quite so well in crating sliced logs
and sawed flitches.
Other practices tending to assist in relieving the natural con-
traction and expansion of wood are in a state of development at
the present time, but at best none of them promise to do any more
than to contribute in a measure to the full solution of the problem
which brings us back to the point of finding our E. M. C. and
governing our product accordingly.
Drying and Shipping Veneers
One of the most helpful and least costly methods of controlling
moisture is the proper arrangement of material storage rooms. This
is a matter that has had little attention by both the veneer and
panel manufacturer, and a brief resume of what commonly occurs
in drying and shipping veneers might be interesting.
The veneer manufacturer may be using any of the present com-
mercial types of dryers or even the old style kiln or dry house
in w^hich he piles racks, or hangs the veneer. If he is using the
former, he may succeed in bringing his veneer out of the dryer
in a straight condition but the stock very often contains an un-
known quantity of moisture. If an effort is being made to dry it
to a definite moisture per cent, the calculations on which this is
based are sometimes incorrect. At any rate, the veneer is seldom
at a moisture content in equilibrium with the air when it leaves
the dryer and, therefore, it w^ill either give up more moisture and
shrink, or it will imbibe moisture and expand; in any case this
"working" will not be evenly distributed over the surface of the
sheets and local expansion or "buckling" will result. If the stock
is piled on trucks and rushed into crates, it will perhaps remain
fairly straight until received by the customer.
In case the more obsolete equipment is used, it is impossible to
dry the stock flat and very often without severe checking. What is
still worse, an effort to dry to the correct moisture content is very
seldom made. Usually the stock is said to "look and feel" dry, and
the manufacturer consoles himself w^ith the thought or expression
*A talk before the National Veneer & Panel Manufacturers' Association in
convention at Chicago, June 14, 1^21.
that it is as good as his connpetitors are doing anyway, which is an
assumption that may apply less generally in the near future.
At our next observation we find the crated veneer or bundled
Hitches being unloaded at the customer's plant. We often see
oak flitches thrown on the factory floors without even making any
effort to arrange them in piles much less making any effort
to control the moisture. Crated stock, as w^ell as the veneers,
are often dumped into a cool, damp basement, so that even if the
stock had been dried correctly by the manufacturer, it would again
imbibe moisture with the results previously explained. Then the
customer redries the stock when he is ready to put it into panels.
Here again he reduces the moisture content to the unknown quan-
tity. To overcome the mistake of incorrect drying at this point,
the stock is rushed right through the jointing, taping and joint
gluing operations into built up bundles w^hen the veneer is con-
sidered quite safe, at least from "buckling." If something hap-
pens during this regular process, the taped up veneers often take
on enough moisture again and buckle so badly that they must be
straightened out. In this event they are again redried to the same
unknown condition which is usually too dry, and then the regular
process is again carried out.
In drying veneers the general assumption seems to be that the
chief requisite is to get them sufficiently dry. This is decidedly
wrong as just as bad as not dry enough, providing the moisture
has been reduced below^ the danger of mould. Without losing sight
of our objective, I would like to point out right here one of the
great sources of lost energy and money w^hich is contributed to
jointly and perhaps equally by the veneer and panel manufac-
turer. It is not uncommon to find veneer manufacturers loading
their logs to the limit of moisture they will hold in preparing them
for the lathe or slicer through either one of the two methods:
boiling, or steaming, at atmospheric pressure. The procedure is
then to dry them far below^ the E. M. C, which causes the stock
to pick up moisture to this point. Then the panel manufacturer
stores the stock w^here it will pick up still more moisture and again
redries it to a percentage considerably below the E. M. C. in his
plant. After all this procedure, complaints are still heard from all
quarters about "buckling" and breakage. 1 am trying to emphasize
that each unnecessary drying operation adds just that much more to
your unit costs and in addition there is always more or less material
lost in handling veneers even under correct procedure.
By proper storage, veneers w^ill not only be held in perfect
shape, but as a matter of fact can be improved and brought into
absolute equilibrium with the atmosphere and at this point will
remain perfectly flat. Therefore, instead of dumping them into a
moist basement or shed or any other room in which the atmosphere
is not controlled, why not make these storage spaces into con-
ditioning rooms?
This can be accomplished at surprisingly small expense. It
requires proper arrangement for retaining uniform temperature
and humidity and means for circulating the air within the room.
Under these conditions the veneer manufacturer could leave his
stock stored almost indefinitely without injury. The panel manu-
facturer could do the same, and what is more important, he can
forget all about his redrying operation except in cases of stock
that must be glued soon after it is received. Of greater importance
still is the assurance that stock taken from a properly arranged
and controlled conditioning room will remain straight and flat,
because it will neither be taking on or giving up sufficient moisture
to cause any local expansion or contraction.

A BIT OF HISTORY
ECENT research discloses some altogether wonderful,
almost startling, facts relative to both Plywood and
Veneer.
The principle is as old as the oldest records of mankind.
Egypt knew it and practiced it well. Old King Rameses
luul his special household furniture and cabinets built of
Plywood as far back as the year 1250 B. C.
The BurciUi chi Roi, the most wonderful piece of furniture
in all history, was built of Plywood. Napoleon's private
writing desk, carried with him on all his marches and called
Ills ''"cab'met de cavipagne' was made altogether of Plywood.
These facts are interesting and instructive, but not suffi-
cient. The modern, up-to-the-minute manufacturer wants
something more — something in the present tense — some-
thing he can cash. And right here in New Albany, we have
it for him, in what we venture to claim is the most scientif-
ically exact Plywood Plant in America. We say this because
we believe it's true. Our best thougbt and our best efforts
bave been spent to make it true.
FOR instance, uc misrhthavcbeen
content to follow the crowd in
making the old style face veneer
joint with the ordinary four bit cut-
ter head, but we wanted a better
joint." We got it, and our customers
have blessed us ever since.
We originated the sixteen bit cut-
ter head for a veneer jointer, and
Herman Fletcher, the old tool maker
of Louisville, made our first head by
hand from solid tool steel, and the
joints made by this sixteen bit cutter
head were real-for-sure joints — the
same kind of joints we are making
today.
WE have originated many other
improvements of equal im-
portance to Plywood users,
which we are going to tell you about
from month to month.
We want our customers and our
friends to know the real inside of
what we arc doing in New Albany
to make Pl\wood the most exten-
sively useful and most highly service-
able product of its kind in the world.
This is the first modest introduc-
tion of our series of cdticutiomd ad'ccr-
Usemoits on Plywood to appear before
the year is out, right here in the
Har/livootl Record.

Laminated Wood Automobile Wheel Is the Vogue
The field of uses for glue and wood is continually broadening.
The combination of these two materials seems to be capable of an
endless variety of adaptations. At any rate, the end of its adapta-
bility is not yet in sight. Plywood and laminated wood are now
being put to uses of which a wood worker would not have dared
dream a generation ago. Built up wood has become an important
engineering material, among the few uses of which are tops of
automobiles, fuselages of aeroplanes, wings of aeroplanes, bill
boards, ceilings and roofs of street cars, the decks of racing yachts.
One of the latest developments of built-up wood is the disk
wheel. George W. Smith & Company, Inc., Philadelphia, has
begun the manufacture of wood disk wheels for passenger and
motor trucks upon a large scale, after experimenting and testing
laminated wood wheels for a period of nearly two years.
There is certainly an interesting story in the changes made in
the manufacturing activities of this firm. Started in 1877 by
George W, Smith, major in the United States Army, the company
originally devoted its entire attention to the design and manufac-
ture of high-class furniture. For the last twenty years it con-
centrated its efforts on the manufacture of high-grade interior
w^oodw^ork for residences, public buildings, etc.
Shortly after the beginning of the World War this company w^as
called upon to prove its adaptability and versatility in the manu-
facture of joiner woodwork for submarine chasers, troop and
passenger ships, and at this time also they supplied the ship way
towers for the entire fifty ways of the world's largest shipyard.
Hog Island.
The plant has been increased in recent years so that it now covers
twenty-three acres of ground w^ith every modern facility for effi-
ciency and expeditious production.
The Smith woodisk wheel, so-called, is made of the same woods
as used in the propellers of aeroplanes, so laminated that the grain
of each layer runs in a different direction. They are about the
same weight as a spoke wheel and are four times stronger than
spoke wheels against side stress — that is, skidding.
The wheel band is shrunken on end grain, entirely around
the peiiphery of the wheel, therefore it cannot loosen or squeak.
No special hub is required and the expense and inconvenience
of having and carrying an extra wheel is obviated; only a spare
rim and tire is necessary.
The Sn^ith woodisk wheels have been tested climatically and by
hard road usage; they do not w^arp or shrink. They can have no
flattened spots — always round and always run true and straight
in alignment, insuring a maximum mileage.
The Smith woodisk wheels are also made to suit the needs o!
heavy trucks and busses. A test between woodisk wheels and cast
steel wheels, made with busses running between Mount Clemens
and Detroit, shows a saving in weight between them of 33 pounds
in unsprung weight for rear wheels, and 42 pounds of unsprung
weight on the front wheels, a total of I 50 pounds in the four wheels
in favor of the Smith woodisk wheels.
On heavy trucks the Smith woodisk wheels absorb shocks on
account of their resiliency. They do not warp, twist, or squeak.
They are four times as strong as wood spoke wheels in resisting
side stress.
One of the main reasons for the wide-spreading vogue of disk
type wheels on passenger cars is that they give a car an appear-
ance of elegance, smartness and trimness, w^hich is instantly appar-
ent to those even who are habitually unobserving. Disk type wheels
add smooth, graceful lines to the car and it appears to float as
though propelled by magic.
As many of the luxurious cars seen on the fashionable boulevards
of our large cities are equipped with wheels of this kind, the atten-
tion of the owners of less expensive cars has been attracted to the
beauty and advantage of disk wheels made of wood.
Mahogany Association Formed
The Mahogany Association is a new organization formed on
June 24 by importers of genuine mahogany logs and lumber in
this country for the purpose of immediately launching a national
educational advertising campaign in the interest of genuine ma-
hogany. The temporary headquarters of the association are at
Room I 2 I 1 . 345 Madison avenue. New York, N. Y. At the meet-
ing, R. S. Huddleston of the Astoria Mahogany Company acted
as secretary.
I. X. L. Litigation Settled
Complicated litigation in the Superior and Circuit courts at
Goshen and Elkhart, involving the I. X. L. Furniture Company
of Goshen, Ind., Benjamin F. Deahl of Goshen, president of the
concern; Charles E. Morrice of Peru, Ind., formerly of Goshen,
who was salemanager and buyer for the company; Willis D.
Widner of Auburn, Ind., formerly of Goshen, production manager,
and James A. Arthur of Los Angeles, Cal., formerly of Goshen,
a large stockholder in the company, w^as compromised June 25
through the sale of the Arthur holdings to the I. X. L. Company
for about $60,000. All suits in the state courts will be dismissed.
The present exhibit in Grand Rapids marks the last showing of
the chairs made by the Standard Furniture Company of Cincinnati,
Ohio. No cuttings have been made for several months and the
present process is a liquidation of diners and bedroom patterns
on hand. Mr. Heberger, the president, has definitely decided to
close up the business on account of his ill health. "This marks the
passing from the chair field of a long established and highly
respected concern, and the best wishes of his fellow manufacturers
are conveyed to Mr. Heberger," Wm. B. Baker, secretary-manager
of the National Chair Manufacturers Association, said regarding
the retirement.
The Warren Veneer and Panel Company has been incorporated
at Warren. Pa. Capital $75,000.
The Louisville Veneer Mills in a recent report showed that
June was an active shipping month, but that there is not much
future business on the books. The Louisville Point Lumber Co.,
made much the same sort of report for June business.
The Inman Veneer & Panel Company, of Louisville, Ky., is gomg
along at a good gait at the present time, keeping several men
actively engaged on the road, and having recently started its
second glue spreader, the machine having been off the job for
some months. This means a considerable increase in business.

An organization com-
plete in all details is a
guarantee of correct
product if properly
operated
The operations of the Wood-Mosaic Com-
pany function with precision because every
step has been part of a well-conceived plan.
The basic thought is a plant for each type of
production. Thus, every foot of Wood-
Mosaic hardwood lumber and veneers in wal-
nut, oak and poplar is produced in a plant
designed especially for the manufacture of
each class of product.
This holds from the logs, which are the care-
ful selection of a trained corps of twenty
timber buyers, through the final operations of
handling the manufactured product, special
equipment having been provided for each
unit of manufacture so that the lumber and
veneer product may be always correctly dried
and further prepared for consumer's use.
We solicit the opportunity of demonstrating
the value to you of such an organization.

%A#HAT does it mean to you as a buyer to
■■ have implicit confidence in the source of
your most important raw material supply?
For instance, all informed buyers recognize
the true superiority of northern grown hard-
wood lumber and veneers— the product in
which we specialize. Big customers stay on
our books for years because it is easy for
them to determine that we never have cut
anything but the genuine northern grown logs
in oak, walnut, maple, ash and other major
species. The same sincerity maintains with
our rotary cut poplar offering. And withal is
that correctness of manufacture and honesty
of contact with customers that has been the
bulwark of this business for over a half
century. It will profit you to know us better.

What occurs in drying and controlling moisture in veneers la
almost identical with lumber except as stated at the outset, the
time required is proportionately greater according to the thickness,
and no matter what specie of thickness of lumber you are drying
and regardless of conditions under which you are manufacturing,
there is no reason why any of the common ills should be tolerated.
Casehardening, excessive warping, bowing, cupping and honey-
combing are all due to unequal drying. In other words, the atmos-
phere in the kiln is too dry in comparison to the moisture in the
stock and, therefore, the outer portions of the board shrink faster
than the inside, because the moisture can not be transfused out-
wardly fast enough to prevent this. When the outside portion of
a board is dried in this way, the fibres are drawn or stretched apart
over the wet interior and set rigidly in this condition. Surface
checking results frequently in this case, but more often this does
not occur. A board when warm and moist is somewhat plastic
and is not unlike papier mache. When the outside portions of
a board have taken a rigid position or formed a shell, it is known
to be "casehardened.*'
Later on in the drying period when the inner portion gives up
moisture and consequently must shrink, it is prevented from doing
so by the set outer shell. When the internal stresses develop
beyond the strength of the fibres, numerous ruptures occur, which
we call "honeycombing." Practically all other drying ills can be
attributed to the same causes.
Drying schedules should provide specifications of temperatures
and humidities for moisture content in the species you are drying
in five per cent reductions. As for example, drying conditions
for black walnut containing over 40 per cent moisture, which is
to be used for high grade furniture, can safely be started at a
temperature of 115° fahrenheit and 85 per cent Relative Humidity.
Tests of the lumber should be made to determine a change of these
conditions, as time is a very poor indicator. When the stock
shows a reduction in moisture to 35 per cent, the temperature
should be increased to 120° and the humidity lowered to 80 per
cent. This procedure must be carried out by degrees in accordance
with frequent tests of the lumber to an ultimate condition of 150°
fahrenheit and 30 per cent relative humidity. It may be noted
that the first or initial drying condition is equal to an E. M. C. of
much less than 40 per cent moisture; in fact, it is between 16 per
cent and 1 8 per cent. It is, of course, necessary to maintain a
considerably lower E. M. C. than the moisture in lumber in order
to reduce it, and, in other words, these conditions indicate a safe
drying speed. Because walnut in drying is subject to fine surface
checking and other uncommon ills, and for the reason that in
this case the stock is to be used for high grade furniture, conditions
are controlled from 40 per cent moisture instead of 30 per cent,
which may be applied in less exacting circumstances, and, in fact,
conditions considerably more severe can be applied when the kiln
operator at all times is thoroughly familiar with what actually is
taking place in the lumber and the kiln.
Tests should be made on two pieces — one to determine the
average moisture content and the other to determine distribution
of the moisture. The first is common, the second is made by cut-
ting away the outer shell to a line about Ya" ^'l around the section
and testing this and the remaining center piece separately. This
is very important, especially in all cases where considerable case-
hardening and other troubles exist which can only be eliminated
by correction of faulty kiln design.
1 have attempted to outline in this discussion the fundamental
and known principles underlying the process of reducing and con-
trolling moisture in wood, and the logical deductions to aid in their
practical application in the manufacture of veneers and panels.
Discussion of the various details of operation and design of drying
equipment has been purposely avoided, my aim being rather to
■establish the standards \vith which you can study and compare
your present methods and practices.

THE PAST AND PRESENT IN MAHOGANY
The Austrian Furniture Industry
The following translation from Neue Freie Presse of April 21,
1 92 1, regarding the furniture industry in Austria has been sub-
mitted by William Ford Upson, representative of the Department of
Commerce at Vienna:
The furniture industry, which last year was at its height, has
undergone considerable change, the ordinary furniture industry
being in a state of crisis, the bent-wood furniture industry passing
through a period of stagnation, and the so-called art-furniture in-
dustry (with its seat in Vienna) maintaining exports only to neigh-
boring states except for slight beginnings of exports to England.
This crisis is due not only to the fact that most countries have
prohibited imports of art furniture, but because the world market
price for carpenters' wages has been reached In Austria, so that
competition can no longer be maintained. One disadvantage to the
industry of ordinary furniture is the fact that numerous inexperi-
enced persons undertook this branch of w^ork and delivered un-
satisfactory sets to Italy and Holland, with the result that quantities
of goods of this kind were refused and are now stored. The bent-
wood furniture industry has always had a large export and still
maintains it in limited measure.
New Casket Factory at Work
The Northern Casket Company of Chippewa Falls, has com-
pleted its new factory and most departments are now in operation,
with prospects for full operation by July 1 . Two carloads of
caskets w^ere shipped last week and regular deliveries will now^ be
made. Reports that the company was arranging to dispose of the
property are officially denied. While negotiations have been under
way along this line, it is now declared that offers have been rejected
and the present owners will continue to operate the plant and
business. John M. Emmel of St. Cloud. Minn., is president of the
company and Harry Chappie is general superintendent.

How Many Feet of Panels Do You
Get from a Thousand Feet of Veneers?
U'OR two generations Bachman has been supplying veneers that
* will lay fifty per cent over the average. That is no boast — there
are five sound reasons w^hy w^e can do it year after year :
( 1 ) Our logs are absolutely al) from Indiana— hence no costly defects in the veneer.
(2) We use no flitches except our own manufacture. Thus we are able to care-
fully select our veneer logs.
(3) AH veneers are cut full thickness. This gives plenty of wood for sanding and
minimizes breakage in handling.
(4) The sawed stock is so smooth that it can scarcely be told from sliced.
(5) Our stock is never either sorted or picked over.
Our cut runs principally 1/16" and 1/20" quarter-sawed white oak, but includes
sliced quartered oak; sliced walnut and butts and sliced gum. We are now able to offer
to careful buyers the same old-fashioned service that has been the pride of our business
for two generations.

Evansville Outlook Is
Encouraging
There is every indication that trade with the furniture, chair, desk
and table manufacturers at Evansville, Ind., will pick up in the near
future. There is a feeling that the worst day has been passed in
the industrial situation and that things will get a whole lot better
after the first of September. A fairly complete survey of Evans-
ville's indxistries conducted on July 1 by a daily newspaper of that
city, shows that less than 2 per cent of the factory employes now
are out of work. Few of the plants in that city are closed down
entirely, while a majority within the last few^ months have increased
working hours. Fully 90 per cent of the factories in Evansville are
working full time at the present. Five per cent of the remaining
10 per cent are operating more than 60 per cent full time. In
round figures, factory owners said not less than 1.000 men are out
of employment in Evansville. This figure includes the many building
trades workers, who are still idle, and the men who were cut ofr
by retail and wholesale firms when business conditions became dull.
One of the best indications, factory owners in Evansville say, is
the increasing ciders by the furniture plants. While some of the
furniture factories are stretching points in order to give employes
full time work, .and are basing present w^orking schedules on orders
they expect rather than those actually in hand, practically all the
Evansville factories are operating at near full time. The Bosse
group of factories, including the big plant of the Globe -Bosse-
World Furniture Company, is operating 50 hours a week and a
fair force of employes is at work. The Klamer group of plants
are operating at an average of 40 hours a week. Other furniture
factories are operating at from 40 to 45 hours a week. Evansville
was not hit as hard by the industrial tie-up as w^ere many cities.
The main reason for this fact was that the city had many industries
that were affected little oi not at all by the shake-up. The plant
of the United States Furniture Company has been operating full
time until a week ago when one day was cut off the working time.
The line of davenette suites the plant manufactures, has been un-
usually popular during the past year and orders have kept the
plant busy. Harry H. Schu, manager of the company, says he
attributes the popularity of the davenport suites to the housing
shortage and the fact that the suite makes a room into both a
living room and sleeping room through convertability of the daven-
ette. Mr. Schu says buying has slacked at present, due to an
attitude of w^aiting on the part of the trade to determine what the
July market will bring forth, but he expects business to go along as
usual aft-er the middle of July. The plant has an exhibit at the
Chicago furniture show^. A total of about 750 men is employed at
the plants of the Kramer group. The group includes the Monitor
Company, one of the city's newest plants; the Schelosky Table
Company; the Wertz-Klamer Company and the O. A. Klamer Com-
pany, as well as the Klamer-Goebel Company. All of the plants are
turning out ne'w styles in their customary products, but the Moni-
tor plant is developing an entirely new product in a Spanish
Renaissance style of furniture. There is a slight slacking off of
orders at the present time. The Midland Furniture Company has
just begun the manufacture of a new line of high priced furniture.
The plant is busy establishing marketing agencies for this line.
according to Nestor Brentano, the manager, and expects to market
it nation-wide. The furniture is the costly stationary over-stuffed
colonial suites, consisting of a davenport, chair and rocker. The
suites will retail at $500 to $600. The plant expects to turn out
a large quantity of these suites during the coming year, the demand
being great, according to Mr. Brentano. The davenport is not a
bed davenport, but is the sort that is found in the homes of the
wealthy. The plant is being operated at full time with a full
force of men. Mr. Brentano expects no let-down in business and
says the factory's products are on an established price basis. The
new line of furniture will not interfere w^ith the regular output of
the plant in any w^ay and production will be kept up on all old
lines.
The veneer manufacturers of Evansville believe that an improve-
ment in their business will come with a picking up in the furniture
trade. George O. Worland, manager of the Evansville Veneer

that the market will be larger in every way and bring in more
business than the first market that was given last April.

Toronto.
Fire destroyed about three-quarters of a million feet of lumber in the
Midland yards of George Masim & Company a few days ago. The cut-
ting of the elc%-ated tramways and the blowing up of several piles of lum
ber with dynamite saved a good portion of the contents of the yard, esti-
mated at 14.(100,000 feet from destruction. The lumber belonged to the
Robert Laidlaw Lumber Company of Toronto and the George Mason Com-
pany.
The regular monthly meeting of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers' Asso
elation. Toronto, was held at the Lake Shore Country Club on the Hamilton
Highway a few days ago, the members being present on the invitation
of W. P. Oliver of the Oliver Lumber Company, Toronto, who is also presi-

wives were in attendance, and the gathering was presided over by A. E.
Eckart, president of the association.
The Hardwood Market
CHICAGO
The Chicago market is rellcctiug the usual summer dullness, adding
this seasonal slump to the general depression. A certain amount of
trading continues, however, though few large orders are booked. .\
liand-to-moutli policy of buying prevails because of caution both of the
lumbermen and the buyers. The buyers are trying to limit their invest-
ments in raw materials while the lumbermen are not anxious to book
large orders for future delivery on present market prices. Buyers
can pick up bargains now in small quantities, but whenever they try
to place a large order for the low prices they find that the lumberman
doesn't want to do business that way. The result of the July furniture
market is expected to increase the demand from the furniture factories
immediately after the close of the market. Much more oak will be
placed in this industry than formerly, because of the increase in oak
designs shown on the July markets. Walnut will also continui' in
strong demand.
BUFFALO
The hardwood market shows a i|uii-t tone at present and all the buying
is in a small way. it is hard to get buyers interested at a time when they
have little or no use tor lumljor. Industrial plants are as (inict as for a
number of weeks past, so that there is little stock moving out. The yards
have pretty well cleared up their orders and are anticiiiating a hand-to-
mouth business for some time to come. By fall it is expected that a fair
amount of trade will be seen, and ever.vbody is hopeful that it will make
up for the dullness that has existed for several months.
Prices in most woods are easy, as the amount of stock available is large.
Dealers do not like to let an order get away from them while such a small
volume of busini'ss is stirring, and while competition remains as keen as at
present an uncertain trend of prices is looked for. The prcKluction has not
been heavy lately, but the amount of stock in wholesalers' bands is larger
than it sometimes is at this season. At the same time some sizes and
grades are scarce and strong.
PHILADELPHIA
The situation in thi' liardw 1 inaikct may be tohl in a lew words as
there has been little change in conditions during the past two weeks. High
grade stock has stiffened slight ly and a depletion of low grade tlooring has
had a tendency to stabilize the market, but the falling off in orders from
rural districts has had a tendency to hold down prices.
There is business ahead in tlie hardwood field. Several of the largest
users are watching the market and will stop the hand-to-mouth buying
when they are sure that prices are right. The largest dealers in -hard-
woods are not exorcised and are <ioing nothing to influence these buyers
so sure are they that substantial advances will tie forthcoming.

construition work is now under way in the city.
PITTSBURGH
Hardwood busiue.ss here i.s very bad. I'robably it was never worse at
this season. Industrial and railroad trade has not been up to expectation
by a long ways. Retail trade has been badly held up by the building
strikes, which are well on in Pittsburgh and many other places. Buyers
all along the line are taking only what lumber they must have for imme-
diate needs. Nobody is stocking up ahead. OflFerings from the mills are
unusually heavy and prices are accordingly low. It is not expected that
hardwood (piotations can be advanced but a very little during the next
two months. Well posted wholesalers have quit predicting when the buy-
ing boom is going to start, but arlniit now that there is very little prospect
of good business before September.
BOSTON
While demand is gradually improving, thure is far more inquir.v in pro-
|nn-tion tliau actual business in this market. Prices do seem to some extent
to Ik' in the way of better business. The recent advances in some lines
are not taken kindly to. The situation is rather peculiar in some respects.
I'Vir example, retail yards are purchasing very well "considering." whereas
trade with manufacturing consumers is really not at all as satisfactory as
it ought to be. In fact, as before noted, the bulk of the trade is from the
hardwood yards and from the furniture makers. And with them trade is
steadily improving. While building of houses in this state is to some
extent improving, though not as rapidly as some would have one think,
there is not much, if any, improvement as yet in hardwoods trim. The
piano people, who have for a long time been well sttK^ked up and have had
a lot of orders cancelled for their product, are not buying hardwoods well
here at all. The same is true of the other musical instrument makers.
Autci body demand here in this state is bad. The chair makers here, a large
business in normal times, is not furnishing much hardwood trade. The
market is pretty firm. This is true of FAS rather than of the common
grades, in which there continues to l>e an oversupply.
BALTIMORE
Conditinus in the hardwood trade are much the same as they have been,
with the inquiry for stocks exceedingly spotty. Some days may bring
out quite a number of orders, until a dealer gets the notion that a definite
improvement has set in. But this spurt will presently be followed by
stagnation, which makes the situation look much like it was before. Bal-
ancing the periods of activity with the intervals of dullness, however, will
probably show the former to predominate, so that despite the handicaps
a distinct gain in the movement is to be recorded. That this gain will
assume more impressive proportions as time goes on hardly admits of a
doubt. Stocks in the hands of the consumers are l>eing still further
reduced, so that additions will become unavoidable before long, unless a
buyer of hardwoods intends to go out of business: while the policy of the
mills in curtailing production makes for reduced supplies that are certain
to Increase the interest in offerings by r-eason of the growing scarcity. All
indications point to an expansion in the domestic demand, with consequent
improvement in prices. In fact, some of the quotations are higher than
they were, it being no longer entirely a case of a buyer's market. Sellers
with desirable stocks stand some chance of realizing acceptable figures,
since not all of the mills are in position to take care of wants as these
latter develop. The furniture factories in North Carolina, for instance,
have manifested much larger requirements of late, and stocks in consider-
able quantities have been placed there. Other woodworking establishments
are in a somewhat similar position, with every indication that a gradual
revival in these enterprises will take place.
COLUMBUS
There is a slight improvement in the demand for hardwoods in Columbus
and central Ohio territory during the past fortnight. Retailers are show-
ing a slight increase in activity, especially in making inquiries. Some of
the inquiries are developing into orders. Reports show that retail stocks
are only fair and in some cases rather badly broken and here and there
dealers are compelled to enter the market to replace broken stocks.
Factories are also showing signs of renewed buying, but this is confined
to furniture, implement and vehicle concerns. Box factories are buying
low grade lumber rather actively when industrial conditions are taken into
consideration. Furniture factories are the best customers at this time.
Mining concerns, especially those engaged in coal mining, are buying
hardwoods.
Prices are rather steady at the levels which have prevailed for some time.
There is more stability apparent as the wide range is disappearing. Appar-
ently the distress lumber is gradually l>eing absorbed and steadier prices
from now on arc expected. Shipments are coming out promptly. Collec-
tions are growing better as a rule. Quartered and plain oak are in fair
demand and the better grades are rather scarce. Poplar is quiet but there
is a better demand for ash and chestnut. Basswood is moving fairly well
under the circumstances.

CINCINNATI
X thorough canvass ot* the market reveals Ilttlo change In the hardwooil
situation. Oak and sum in the vipper grades liave l>oen in a little better
dernaml. Yards are buying mainly for IllUn;; in purposes. Factories are
not purchasing; as freely as expected. Hox and furniture makers are still
runiiinj; on reduyd scales. Prices are at bedrock and dealers feel they
can Ko no lower. Manufacturers have always lm>ked uiKm June and July
as tln' dullest of the year and are incline<l to accept the present situation
as the expected drop in the market. Stocks are reported to he less than
they were on June 1 and at the iiresent rate of production it will take
some time to jxet them 'to anything like normal. There continues practi-
cally no business with the chairmakers. Certainly there is little business
!n linish and the same is true of the railroad and export trade and the
piano trade is not a very active purchaser. Huyins on tlie part of retailers
is restricted to present needs and there is no disposition to stock up for
the future. There is a general feeling among the hardwood lumbermen
here that business conditions will not move to any great extent one way
or the (»ther until after the July furniture exhibits. Building is not moving
along in the manner In which it should. Present Indications point to a
grand jury investigation of the entire question of high cost in the building
tnuh's industry l"inu: ninde, when the new grand jury is impaneled.
INDIANAPOLIS
The demand fnr hanhvocxis in tliis sectinn is confined for the most part
to the retail trade. Retailers declare there is a most active demand and
one that gives every promise of continuing. Indianapolis Is experiencing
the greatest era of residence construction in its history and finishes and
the upper grades of hardwoods, including high grade floorings are having
an unprecedented demand. The lower grades are little called for and the
price is rather soft. The uppers, however, are strong in price and not only
are steady, but give every promise of slightly higher levels. The railroads
are not In the market and there is no industrial construction. However,
among the Industries, the furniture factories are doing some buying, as
also are the box manufacturers. The automobile plants and the automobile
Ixxly plants, however^ are in poor shape, but executives of these plants say
a dull season now is usual, regardless of conditions in otlier lines.
EVANSVILLE
Hardwood lumber manufacturers of Kvansville and soutln'ru Indiana
report that trade has been a little slow for the past twt) or three we<^ks,
and that while inquiries have increased some that orders are a little slow
to come in. There is a feeling on the part of the manufacturers that trade
will remain a little sluggish during tlie nmntbs of July and .Vugust as these
are generally dull months and it is not Ix-Iieved that this year will prove
any exception to the rule. The manufacturers say tl'at trade ought to
show a little picking up after the first of September, but that they are not
looking for any great improvement In business conditions at any time this
year. There is a better feeling in trade circles, however, than there was at
the first of the year. General business conditions are gradually getting
better and collections are holding their own very well. Few of the hard-
wood mills in southern Indiana, southern Illinois and western and northern
Kentucky are being operated at this time and stocks in most instances are
rather low. Few logs are coming in and manufacturers, who have not been
operating their i)lants, do not care to buy logs under the present conditions.
It is expect(xl that after the farmers in the south have finished their heavy
work on the farm that they will start getting out logs and that quite a
number will be sent to this market. I^^g men along the Green and Barren
rivers are l>eing speeded up and it is IxMIeved that by fall, quite a number
of logs will be gotten out in that section of the state.
LOUISVILLE
Business is sliowing up just a sliadt> iK-ttor and it is loportod by soiiip of
the local houses that cheap supplies are gettins scarcer, which indicates
that there will br' a much better market for hardwoods a little later on in
the year, and at better prices, rrodiictiou continues very light as a whole
It is claimed that with the finals from the furniture shows business should
pick up, as the shows have produced fairly good business this season.

are taking practically no material, being at a standstill, while the jobbing
trade is not adding to yard stocks, and is buying for immediate resale for
the most part. A number of local houses anticipate fair fall business.
EITective July 20. the newly printed tariffs, providing for milling-in-
transit at Louisville, will result in material improvement in conditions
here, it is believed by the local trade. At a recent meeting of the Louis-
ville Hardwood Club a special vote of thanks was extended to Attorne.v
.T. Van Norman, who acted as counsel for the Southern Hardwood Traffic
Association in a long drawn out fight with the carriers before the luter-
Rtate Commerce Commission.
ST. LOUIS
Buying of hardwood Is on a shopping basis. There have been frequent
concessions below market prices. Northern hardwoods have' declined sub-
stantially in price on all grades. Stiff advances in prices on best grades

witli ii lull In bu.ving so the market lias shown no decidMl changes in South-
ern liarilvvoods. lyabor disputes and renewed liquidations in the automotive
Industry are factors in the decided lull in buying.
There has been a gradual improvement in the volume of immediate busi-
ness in furniture hut little contracting for future requirements. Prices
are reported steady to 10 per cent lower. ,
BEAUMONT
TIu' lirst six inniiths of 1921 in the Texas-Louisiana harrlwood market
tlosod somewhat like the heginBiD^'. The year opened extremely dull, hut
since that time there has l>een a j^radual improvement in the volume of
Inislness. at the same time a steady decline in the volume of production
heiufe' very noticeable.
There was a rather sharp decline the first of the year in values. This
decline continued almost without interruption until May when a decline
ill all ^^riides was checked, and upper grades advanced to rather higher
h-vt'Is which has since I>een maintained. The rather broader demand which
<li'Vi'Ioi)ed toward the latter end of the six months period stopped suddenly
nhout the middle of June. The transactions the latter part of .Tune were
prolmUly on ;is narrow a liasis as at the beginning of the six months
pi'l'ind.
The six months period has also convinced hardwood men that there is
;i new system of trading thoroughly entrenched and it is a waste of time
to expect old methods to return. Manufacturers point out that it has
Ix'cn in process of formation for the past four years, but no one would
jidmit its strength, or the fact that it had come here to stay. Reference
is made to what is now known as "hand to mouth" buying, a phrase
which is apparently destined to be accepted as a permanent condition of
trade. Mnuufacturers are as much responsible for this condition as the
cuusumer, although to the latter may be laid the blame or blessing, as the
case might be, for crystallizing the method.
Some few orders are being olfered manufacturers for future delivery
on present price basis, but they are almost invariably declined. These are
exceptions, for the consumer, particularly the furniture trade, will not talk
about future deliveries at anything like a reasonable price.
There is a general disposition on the part of hardwood men in this sec-
tion to erase from their memory abnormal conditions of 1010-21 and
establish a new barometer. Too many errors have already been made,
they point out. in figuring tomorrow's business on what transpired a year
or more ago. There is no similarity of conditions, or future prospects
between 1910 and 1021 and it is considered a mere waste of time to con-
necft the two periods in adjusting business affairs.
NEW ORLEANS
Dullness continues to characterize the hardwood market for the New
itrleans territory, including I^ouisiaua and Mississippi, but behind the
<i;irk cliiuds now prevailing the proverbial silver lining is shining, and
much optimism of, a really intelligent and substantial character is per-
meating the hardwood circles in this section.
The quietness of the market for the past fortnight reached its climax
during the championship prize tight and the Fourth of July holiday, when
practically everybody and everything seemed to have gone on "vacation."
A number of the leading local hardwood men left for Jersey City for the
tight or elsewhere for tlie holiday, building operations were suspended and
things have been very quiet indeed. But indications are that there will
I'C more activity within the next fortnight, and many leading hardwood
manufacturers and dealers throughout the lower Mississippi Valley section
confidently look forward to substantial permanent husiness improvement
early this fall.
As for prices, they have undergone practically no change worthy of
note in this section for several weeks past. The general boost in prices,
for which southern hardwood men were looking with much confidence
some weeks ago, has been conspicuous through its failure to materialize:
but. on the other hand, prices have shown a tenacious tendency to stand
lirm.
I'rodu'tion is still considerably under normal.
TORONTO
There is very little change in the hardwood situation at the present
rime and the demand is limited. There has been Ci)nsiderable price-cut-
ting, and whenever a few inquiries have been received for a certain grade
some are disposed to hold xip the value, thinking that there must be a
shortage. A nntuber of firms have been in the market for No. 1 common
liirch, but have not been buying, as holdei-s of stock are asking too much.
On some other grades of Canadian hardwoods there has been a drop of $20
to $30 per M during the past week or two. Canadian firms are now being
faced with a new opposition in the shape of American ash, which is selling
considerably lower than Canadian lurch. Unless the latter drops consider-
ably in price, it is declared that ash will replace it in "automobile construc-
tion. Some operators of hardwood mills have already finished their sea-
son's cut, which is the earliest in years, and declare, unless the outlook
perceptibly improves and prices strengthen, they will not jnit men in the
hush next year, as at present the figure for the tinishe«l article is below the
I I'-t ni" produeiion all the way from five to twenty per cent.

A SPLENDID STOCK
of S. E. Missouri
Soft Yellow Cypress
In offering this desirable material we wish to
emphasize that it is distinguished from the South-
ern variety and is characterized by the fact that
in the lower grades peck and shake are almost
entirely lacking, small sound knots being the
principal defect. Sound workable boards are
thus guaranteed.
We have on hand now a plentiful stock of 4 4,
5 4 and 6 4" selects and No. 1 shop— "Old
Grade." Our No. 1 and No. 2 Common grades
are also put up in 6", 8", 10" and 12" widths, run-
ning practically all 14 and 16'.
Our full offering of this material should ap-
peal to manufacturers of trim, coffins, boxes and
other products using cypress where truly supe-
rior product would be appreciated.
In addition we offer as usual our well assorted
stock of St. Francis basin hardwoods, sold on
guaranteed grades. NOTHING PICKED OUT.
Can surface or resaw as desired.

General Market Conditions
THE TEADE IS TODAY A CAMP DIVIDED against itself in-
sofar as its opinion on market prospects is concerned. Either
a sad falling off in individual business has discounted the indi-
vidual's optimism or on the other hand an ability to overlook cur-
rent happenings in favor of more basic tendencies is influencing
the individual minds in the industry towards further discourage-
ment or greater encouragement. Briefly summarized the market
has resolved it.self into one of rather inconsistent properties with
certain items relatively strong, others exceedingly weak. The de-
plorable shape in which low grades are found is counteracted in a
measure by a fairly consistent holding in the upper grades, par-
ticularly selects and firsts and seconds. Opinion of conditions now
seems to revolve about whether or not the scarcity of selects and
better will be sufficiently strong to resist the depressing effect
of the constantly downward tendency of other stocks. The out-
come will be determined by the decree of lumber purchases result-
ing from the very encouraging results of July furniture markets.
The markets now are a matter of history and the sales facts
may be viewed with sufficiently definite perspective to gain some
measure of intelligent deduction therefrom. So far as bulk is
concerned, both in the Grand Enpids and Chicago markets, they
have been apparently on a normal basis. Experienced furniture
men have contended that not for many years have there been such
genuine values offered for the money asked. Better and more
refreshing designs, more painstaking construction and rock bottom
prices were influences which converted a record-breaking attend
ance of potential buyers into actual buyers. In some cases manu-
facturers accomplished actual sales that will carry their produc-
tion practically up to January markets, and while here and there
certain exhibitors whose lines and prices did not happen to striki;
the buyer's fancy were short on business, the average exhibitor
went away pretty well satisfied that he had done even nmre than
he expected.
Regardless of the specific voUinic of sales accomplished, however,
both the record-breaking attendance and the number of orders
placed, even though they were small, were apparently valuable in
^ that they clearly demonstrated the existence of a hopeful degree
cvi of buying jiower throughout the country. Retailers were in attend-
^ auce as usual from all sections and while the buying was, of course,
^_^ in keeping with the demand in the respective territories, it was
fairly uniform and consistent in its extent for each district.
Hardwood Record believes that special emphasis should be put 011

the number of buyers who attended the shows a.s any marked
degree of discouragement with a total lack of response in retail
sales surely would have kept a large percentage of those who did
attend at home. In other words, the very full attendance unques-
tionably indicates a satisfactory turnover of what stocks the
retailer has been taking in.
Developments have not been especially pronounced in the matter
of adjustment of railroad and government relations, although many
of the repair shops have been reopened of late and with the almost
certain surety that the settlement with the railroads will be
effected, the outlook in that particular is really encouraging.
Inasmuch as those influences that make for good business are
regaining their footing one by one and not concertedly, and as
they too are but gradually approaching betterment, the process of
returning good times will stretch out over a considerable period.
For instance, while furniture conditions apparently are progressing,
it is not reasonable to expect any wholesale reopening of building
construction until all matters of cost, including labor, are spe-
cifically worked out. In the meantime a very handsome volume of
small construction is going on but any big deals requiring large
investments of business and investors' capital are delayed pending
full and final adjustment of cost of construction.
Hardwood Record maintains its opinion that the trend is in
the right direction and that even though the prices are low,
rehabilitation of industries is definitely under way and many of
the fundamental problems are either solved or well under way to
.solution. Hardwood Record believes that the balance of "this
year will see some gradual but sound improvement and that the
substantial steps towards a full return movement will materialize
possibly by next spring.
How to Win the Economic War

A and the tears and carnage, the post-war conflict of the peoples
of the world is none the less fierce. As a result of the long military
struggle existence has iK'en rendered tremendously more difficult for
all hinnanity, and survival demands correspondingly more desperate
exertion. This sequel to the actual armed clash of peoples will con-
tinue to be a gruelling battle for perhaps a generation— until the
peoples have retrieved the waste of war — and during that period it
will be more difiicult to maintain one's place in the sun than it was
in the easy-going days before the incident at Sarajevo.
These thoughts are promiited by an address which Secretary of
16
HARDWOOD RECORD
July 2.), 1U21
Commerce Hoover delivered before the National Shoe and Leather
Exposition in Boston, Mass., on July 13. Mr. Hoover discussed the
broad aspects of the present world economic situation, with particular
reference to our country 's relation to them. Ho showed how the former
combatant nations, spurred on by the necessities which the war
created, are struggling desperately for economic regeneration. The
difficulties with which these nations are encompassed are compelling
them to make extraordinary efforts and extraordinary sacrifices,
against which we mu.st compete. Thus far America enjoys every ad-
vantage in this economic world war, but these advantages are
tempered by innumerable handicaps, which give challenge to the full
measure of our industry and intelligence. The peoples of the world
are so interdependent, modern civilization has so inextricably en-
tangled their many interests, that we are confronted by the piaradox
of being unable to triumph in this "war of peace" unless our
"enemies" achieve a certain measure of victory. In short, we must
so conduct our campaign that European and other nations will be
lifted toward our own prosperity and own standards of living, rather
than pushed further down where our own standards would surely
follow.
The great American problem seems to resolve itself into this:
Maintaining our own standards of living, our characteristic American
wellbeing, and at the same time meet European competition for the
markets of the world; while meeting this competition being careful
not to put Europe out of business, thus bankrupting our best customer
and biggest debtor. Secretary Hoover gives a few opinions as to
the means of accomplishing this most difficult feat.
"In competing with Europe's manufactured goods, either in Europe
or in our much larger market outside of Europe, we quickly find two
directions in which we occupy a position of some security," Mr.
Hoover declares. "The first is in those exports of lower production
costs which are the result of great repetitive production, which has
its firm root in our enormous consumption. The second is in that
large number of special manufactures in which the inventive genius
and skill of our people have been developed beyond any country in
the world ... I believe we will recover and can hold our share
of the market for these products after the present world depression.
"As to our manufactures containing a large element of labor costs,
in which we do not enjoy special advantages, we must look out and
take measures of our own. We can no doubt devise tariff measures
that will protect our domestic market. But if we are to hold our
foreign markets in this vast gi-oup of our manufactures, and thus to
keep our peoples employed, we have several things to attend to.
Fundamentally we must get our production costs down. That lies
only along the road of increased efficiency in our whole industrial
machine. It means a willingness of our working people to put forth
every effort that is in them consistent with health, proper family
life and good citizenship. The surest road to a continued high wage
and the surest safeguard against unemployment is to remove every
restriction on effort. This must extend from our mines to the rail-
ways, to the factories, to the wharf and to the ship. It means smaller
margins of profit. It means that ultimately we must have much
lower transportation rates. It means we must have better organized
marketing machinery abroad under Americans themselves. It means
the establishment of adei|uate short time credit machinpry and much
more care in foreign credit risks than our merchants have shown in
the last twelve months. It means elimination of the great wastes in
industry. For instance, in the Atlantic seaboard alone, by the
development of these great water powers and through economies by
electrification generally, we could profitably save 30,000,000 tons of
coal per annum if we had the courage to go at it. It means the
Government must remove as quickly as possible those unnecessary
domestic burdens ujion commerce to wliich the Government is a jiarty,
by the reorganization of our tax system, the settlement of the tariff
question, the reduction in Government exi)enditure through the re-
organization of the Federal Government, through reduction of arma-
ment and through reduction of shipping losses. We must carefully
determine what particular trade routes we will maintain in develop-
ment of our lommcrce over a period of years, and let our merchants
know them. It means the Government must provide such information
to commerce and industry, from both at home and abroad, as will
enlarge its judgment. It means we must extend scientific research
into the problems of waste, the perfection of proees.ses, the simplifica-
tion of methods that are beyond the ability of one manufacturer act-
ing alone, and we must co-operate with industry to perfect these
things. I am confident we can hold our markets, our higher standards'
of living and of wage if we will all put our backs to it."
In putting forth these ideas, Mr. Hoover saw fit to answer those
critics who maintain that the importance of foreign trade to the
welfare of this nation is exaggerated. He pointed out that our ex-
ports represent the margin of prosperity. They are of much more
importance to the economic life of our country than the plain fact
of their being but 10 per cent of our total production would indicate.
' ' Our exports are the great balance wheel for our production. Exports
are vital to the stabilization of our industries, of price levels, of
wages and of employment. While our 'exports do cover but a small
per cent of our total production, on the other hand they do comprise
a large percentage of the production of certain industries. For
instance, we generally export 20 per cent of our wheat, 60 per cent of
our cotton, 75 per cent of our copper, not to mention others. Unless
we find a market for the surplus production of our great industries,
we shall continue to keep some twenty-five millions of our people in
reduced buying power. We might even drive them into poverty —
luring the many years that would be required to shift the whole basis
of our internal production. ' ' He said that imports also play an
important part, as ' ' our whole standard of living greatly depends
upon our imports" and we must buy if we sell. A nation does BOt
' ' become rich by exports alone — but by its trade, ' ' ho said.
Concluding his discussion Mr. Hoover got down to the fundamentals,
or basis, for our successful passage through the troubled waters of
depression and disruption. They are "courage and applied intelli-
gence and the return to the primary virtues of hard, conscientious
toil and economy in living," he said. He was pleased to say further
that ' ' on every side there is evidence that the vast majority of our
whole nation is making again an effort in those directions equalled
only by that of 1918."

Forests Should Be Public Utilities
Chief Forester Expresses This Opinion Before U. S. Chamber of Commerce
Hearing in Chicago; Forestry Policy Committee Takes Other
Valuable Testimony
Because of the vital pulilic interest iuvolvod the forest resources
of the country should be classed as public utilities, W. B. Greeley,
chief forester of the United States, told the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce's National Forestry Policy Committee, on July 18, at
the Union League Club, Chicago. The regulation, taxation, etc.,
of timbered lands should conform to this consideration, the chief
forester held.
His statement was made as a witness during the hearings con-
ducted by the Chamber of Commerce Committee in Chicago on July
18 and 19, at which time a great variety of persons testified as
to their opinion of what is needed in the way of a national for-
estry policy. These witnesses included users of wood, college
professors, lawyers, botanists, practical lumbermen, foresters and
journalists, resulting in a considerable assortment of opinions as
to the details of a national forestry policy, but expression of the
uniform belief that some national action must be taken to insure
the perpetuity of our forest resources.
The hearings were presided over by David L. Goodwillie of
Chicago, chairman of the committee, who called up the Chief
Forester the morning of the first day, after he had explained that
his committee was handling the forestry question in an entirely
judicial manner; that the committee, in its official capacity, sub-
scribed to no school of forestry thought and advocated no particu-
lar legislation; that it merely sought to gather and sift the opinions
of various advocates and experts in order to" secure information
from which a referendum on the question might be drafted by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United States for submission to the
organized business interests Of the country.
The Chicago hearings were distinguished by the fact that this
was the first time the Chief Forester had appeared before the
committee as a witness. At the New York hearing Gififord Pinchot,
former Chief Forester, was the principal witness, giving testimony
in support of the school of forestry policy thought represented by
the Capper Bill. In Chicago Col. Greeley filed testimony which it
is assumed opposed the Capper school of thought and supports
those principles of reforestation defined in the Snell bill. Mr.
Pinchot is regarded as the leader of the Capper school of thought
and Col. Greeley of the Snell school.
At the beginning of his testimony, Col. Greeley repeated the
statistics on the depletion of the forest resources of the country,
which he has previously cited to illustrate the grave necessity of
a national timberland policy. In sum, that there is a yearly drain
on the forest resources of the country of 26 billion cubic feet as
against a yearly growth of 6 billion clubic feet. In other words, we
are using up our timber 4^4 times as fast as it is being replaced
by growth.
Transportation Is a Big Item
The cost of transportation is one of the most important matters
that bears upon the forestry problem, Col. Greeley said. It is one
of the largest items of costs the user of wood or wood products
must pay. Because of the progressive depletion of the various
forest stands of the country, removing farther and farther the
point of consumption from the source of raw material, the problem
of the transportation of forest productions in this country would
have to be carried but one degree farther were the consumers to go
to Siberia or South America for their raw forest products.
The forester explained what reforestation is already being done.
Seventeen per cent of the total forest lands are within the national
forests. The national forests contain 1,000,000 acres of denuded
lands which are being planted at thp rate of 7,000 to 10,000 acres
a year. Eight million additional acres are being used for forestry
purposes. Forty per cent, or around 4,000,000 acres, of lands under
Federal ownership are not in the national forest preserves and are
receiving no protection nor plan for reforestation. These acres
consist of unreserved public lands, state and municipal tracts.
Of the 463 million acres of forested land in the country 79 per
cent is under private ownership. This is approximately 369 mil-
lion acres, situated in thirty-nine different states, and contains 70
per cent of the standing timber of the country. Of the thirty-nine
states which contain the country's standing timber, twenty-nine
have some form of state forestry organization and ten have no
forestry organization of any character. Two hundred and twenty
million acres of our timbered lands are largely unprotected.
Cost of Fire Protection
To protect effectively the entire area of timber land in private
hands, the Forester estimated, would cost approximately two and
one-half cents per acre. East and West, or about $9,225,000 annu-
ally. "The fire protection of private forest lands is but 25 per
cent done," the Forester said, "and 75 per cent not done, consider-
ing no protection and inadequate protection."
Twice as much land is burned over as is logged over each year,
he said. Between four and five million acres are cut over yearly,
while eight to ten million acres are burned over.
The taxing phase of the forestry problem also is unsolved, Col.
Greeley stated. But six states out of the thirty-nine having for-
estry organization have tried to modify their tax laws to make
them applicable to the needs of forest lands. Of those that have
made a start toward proper timber land taxation, not one has yet
reached a satisfactory position.
Describing his forestry policy platform, Col. Greeley said that
his first plank would be to the protection of the young growth and
small timber on the 245 million acres of timbered land, which con-
tains both young growth and culled timber. Second, restore to pro-
ductivity the 81 million acres of land so cut and burned as to be
completely denuded. A large part of this must be replanted and
this duty should fall upon the public, he said. Third, reforestation
of the remaining virgin timber lands as cut, say at rate of four
million acres per year. Seventy-five per cent of this can be accom-
plished by fire protection. On only 25 per cent will it be necessary
to do more than keep fire out.
Cost of Reforestation
Asked to give some figures on the cost of reforestation, Col.
Greeley made substantially the following statement: Cost of com-
plete fire protection, less slash disposal, including fire patrol,
.$9,000,000 per year, or 18 cents per thousand on the present cut
of all merchantable timber.
The cost of reforestation now falls 60 per cent upon the public
and 40 per cent upon the private owner, but this should bo about
half and half.
Col. Greeley said that the operation of timber lands under refor-
estation methods is no new thing and makes no large expense. The
average cost on Government owned land is about 75 cents per thou-
sand feet, running from a minimum of 25 cents per thousand to a
maximum of $1.75. The cost of operation of any private timber
lands under any national method of reforestation would be less
than the figures cited, he said, as the purpose would be to enforce
only the minimum requirements. "It is hard to conceive that the
cost would be over 50 cents a thousand on the average." The
cost would be highest in the north because of the complicated slash
disposal problem, he said.

* By William A. Babbitt
If a tree might spoak ! Somewlipro in the Holy Writ it is said
somewhat to this effect, "When tliou hearest the whisjjering iu the
tops of trees, then'' had arrived the zero liour for a new dispensation.
What more the good Dominie might liave said I know not, for I
was away and off. It was not the wisest possible selection for a text
because the Sabbath morning was still and sultry, even stuffy; and
the Preacher spoke of whispering in tree- tops. Holy Mackerel!
"To sleep,. to dream; aye there's the rub." It always is when one
falls asleep iu church on a warm Sunday morning. But before my
eldest daughter caught on to what her Daddy was doing and yanked
me ruthlessly back from the cool shade of :f giant oak on a heaven-
kissing rlream-hill, 1 hoard enough of the whisperings of a real tree
possil>ly to make it worth the telling.
A Man of Dim Vision
"Here's that Standardization Chap," quoth the Oak, "Not a bad
one; well meaning in fact. But he has blundered on a proposition far
too big for him and his whole Committee. In fact he only sees one
small part. I wish I could make him understand just how a tree
looks at this standardization thing. ' '
When he saw that he had my attention, the Oak continued, "No real
tree objects to be cut down if he is used right, but when the Creator
has spent five hundred years growing a tree, that TREE ought to be
used right ! Every tree has a real job while he is maturing. He is
enlisted in the greatest conservation project of all time — the conserva-
tion of fertile land. And when he is matured, he is then ready for his
final service to man 's welfare. ' '
' ' But men have not used us as they ought. If they had, there
would be three other trees here with me, and all of us would have been
better for man 's use. Look at me ! I have lived 508 years, and have
a life ring to show for each year. When you look at those 508 toil-
heavy years, and realize that you waste all the effort of 408 years of
growth and the whole 508 years of conservation of the soil and water-
courses, and only save for human use from fifteen to twenty percent
of my body and bones, I want to say it is shameful waste. Here's
the whole matter in an acorn-cup . . . . " '
How importunate and inopportune woman often is. I never got
"the whole matter in an aeorn-cup. '' Next thing I heard was
Daughter's indignant whisper, "Father, you have been snoring I '' It
has been noticed heretofore that it is hard to tell what a fat man is
thinking about when he is snoring.
When Monday morning came, refreshed but nagged by a curious
dream, we had a staff council, and decided to make, by main strength
and awkwardness a real attempt "to get the whole matter in an acorn-
cup ' ' as the Dream Oak evidently would have done, if unhindered.
A great deal of water has run past the mill, and many sheaves of
calculations and estimates have gone into waste baskets since we
started on this attempt. Indeed, it would have failed but for the op-
portune and friendly aid of the Forest Products Lalioratory. But
we have finally been able to construct a sort of picture of acorn-size,
which may avail to show that while the "Standardization Program is
a con.<» — ation measure second to no other," to quote substantially
our Chicl Forester ; still it is merely foundation ; the preliminary step
to the major problem of the Conservation of Forest Products. When
the standardization is 100 percent complete, with all its vast savings,
the Conservation project is still less than 25 percent accomplished.
A 'Vision of the Whole Problem
Evidently the Oak of the dream intended to get two problems
crowded into his acorn cup. This is beyond us. We shall have to
leave to others the task of iMcsenting the ])icture of the position of
•Chairman of the conuiiitt*'
Wooil I'sin;; Industries.
>f standarjization, the Association of
forests in the dom'estic economy of our countrj- and of the duty rest-
ing upon this generation to preserve the natural functioning of forests
to the necessary degree of efficiency.
Our task is to show a picture of the wastes now developed in our
mctliods of handling a tree, and to state the steps tliat might be taken
to eliminate these wastes so far as commercially practicable. We wish
to repeat that it is idle to consider any conservation measures which do
not rest on the solid basis of commercial soundness. They must stand
or fall by the economic test.
Everything Saved But the Squeal
— And Edison has cai^tured that in his voice "Re-creations." But
tiie high standard set by the great Packers is certainly not too high.
The same fundamental reasons apply to forests which are the result
also of organic chemistry. It is the' concentration of WASTES in the
packing plants that made the modern meat industry possible, and
which differentiates it from the country slaughter house. The Pack-
er's wealth is the country butcher's waste, horns, hoofs, viscera, blood,
etc. Is it a rash forecast to say that in the very near future, the
wood butcher's waste will be the lumberman's wealth, sawdust, slabs,
edgings, cutoffs, limbs, cull logs, and the like? What other interpre-
tation can be made of the rapid degrade in the average quality of
commercial lumber? What other lessons do miUyards, crammed with
lowgrade logs and lumber, shout at the mill owner?
Chief Function of Standardization
While there are many considerations of tlie highest importance in-
volved in the Standardization Program, it seems to the wTiter that its
chief strategic importance lies in the fact that it automatically CON-
CENTRATES the WASTES OF LUMBER PRODUCTION IN
QUANTITIES SUFFICIENT to maintain proven processes of com-
mercial utilization. Indeed the principal object of the accompany-
ing chart is to show the astounding volume and value of this waste
when accumulated at the producing mills. In fact, any mill or
neighboring group of mills that manufacture twelve to fifteen mil-
lion feet of board lumber have a waste accumulation sufficient to
operate successfully a wood waste salvage plant.
Under the present system of lumbering, more than forty percent
of hardwoods and a somewhat less percent of soft woods are not
utilizable by the fabricating plants to which these woods are shipped
at heavy freight cost. The Standardization Program is designed to
make it profitable to producer and user alike to eliminate both material
and freight waste by producing at the mill the net dimension which
the fabricating plants require.
Barely One-Sixth
Just over one-sixth of the wood content of the average tree is the
amount that the present system averages to transform into stock for
producing marketable commodities. The rest goes up in smoke, both
actually and figuratively speaking. The Standardization Program
should raise this one-sixth to one-fourth of the wood content of the
tree. So after Standardization has effected its maximum economies,
there still remains nearly three-fourths of the wood content of the
tree as tlic major problem of the CONSERVATION OF FOREST
PRODUCTS PROGRAM. .
Approach of the Major Problem
To get a right perspective, one may well refer again to the experi-
ence of the meat industry. The development of the great packing
plants did not eliminate the country slaughter house, nor home butcher-
ing on the farms, where the wastes stUl go on as they have done from
the beginning. The reason is that the amount of waste developed in
these small operations is not sufficient to warrant commercial utiliza-
tion. No change of these conditions can be expected.
In the same way, it will probably never be feasible to improve con-
ditions in the operations of small and remotely located portable mills.

beyond the opportunities offered by the Program of Standard Dimen-
sion Stock. Tlio only I'uitlier lioi)0 alou},' tliis line is that a sjweial
freight classification might enable the rail shipment of waste to con-
siderable distances. Tlie writer has in mind several operations where
this jilan is successfully operated.
As an approach to the problem, on tlio basis of proven commercial
feasibility, it is the mill or group of mills with an annual accumulation
of the waste from the manufacture of from twelve to fifteen million
feet of board lumber which offer reasonable assurance of success. The
writer wishes the reader to understand that in discussing this aspect of
the question, ho is speaking by information only. He had had no
operative experience wlialover. Tlie information used is partly from
the investigations of the Forest Products Laboratory and partly from
investigations of his office staff.
Assistance of the Forest Products Laboratory
During the ]iast ten years, and under the handicai) of meagre ap-
propriations the laboratory has done wonderful work in laying the
foundation for tho commercial utilization of wood wastes. The last
Congi'ess made an adequate appropriation strictly limited to the in-
vestigation of the technical problems with which this paper deals.
A visit to Madison will richly repay any millman who is studying his
own program from the view point of modern conditions. Arthur
T. Upson has been designated as f orester-in-charge. His able handling
of the preliminaries is a trustworthy promise, not only of personal
ability and tact; but much more of the broadgauge and whole-hearted
sujqiort which the whole Forest Service has put behind this undertak-
ing.
Assistance from Accimmlated Experience
The problem we are discussing is by no means new either in this
country or abroad. It is a proposition which is well worked out, and
not a pioneering adventure. In a recent publication by the Department
of Commerce on the Swedish Lumber Industry (Special Agents Series
No. 195) the author, Axel M. Oxholm, shows a sawdust pile which
most American mills would give a thousand dollars to be rid of. He
marks this pile, "Worth $10,000.00." Is Mr. Oxholm telling the
truth? The final figures given in the chart are taken from the
practice of a well known plant in the north middle west which con-
verts the entire tree, practically, to chemical and' other products.
In a word, the problem is chiefly one of organization, and easily
within range of practicability.
The Size of the Problem
Figures, charts, and pictures are all helps. But one of the mental
blights which is part of war thinking is that we have lost our keen
perception of ' ' relativity. ' ' Not a few of us are still muddled as to
the ratio between a million and a billion. Is a billion ten, a hundred,
or a thousand times greater than a million, or is it the other way
around? So perhaps the way to get a moral grasp of the size of this
problem is to keep before one 's mind the easUy understood fact that in
getting out the board we are selling about three times its bulk in
wood content of the tree has been wasted, as we New Englanders say,
" Sin fuUy wasted."
After all, is not aU waste fundamentally sinful? A recent trip
through the once famous hemlock areas of northwestern Pennsylvania
— now an almost hojieless barren — would tend to confirm this opinion.
Much, if not most of the hemlock was felled for the bark; and the
rotting, firoscarred trunks lie thick, as far as the eye can sec. One
wonders if the annual losses from floods and the annual interest on
investments in flood prevention do not total a larger amount of money
each year than all the money ever received from the slaughter of the
hemlock forests in the drainage area of the upper Alleghany. From
this point of view, we invite your serious study of the following at-
tempt to chart the whole problem of the conservation of Forest Prod-
ucts.
Text to Explain Chart
Data from which the accompanying chart was constructed was ob-
tained from the following sources : Publications and unpublished data
from the Forest Service, technical investigations by the Forest Prod-
nets Laboratory, Special studies by the technical staff of the National
Association of Wood Turners, experience tables compiled by indi-
viduals and associations who are users or producers of lumber, also con-
siderable data which was secured in obtaining a degree from the Uni-
versity of Hard Knocks.
This chart is a careful and fairly accurate compilation of all avail-
able data bearing on this question of wood wastes. It is to be noted,
however, and regretted, that so little has been done in this country to
determine and establish the basic data involved in the problems of
the Conservation of Forest Products that it is necessary to make note
of the fact.
This chart assumes that the total content of the tree is 100 percent.
This total is understood to be the practicable total and does not in-
clude such items as leaves, underground growth, etc. The studies of
the Forest Service are followed as to the content of this practicable
100 percent. The lumber wastes are taken from experience data of
the National Association of Wood Turners, also the totals for salvage
from slabs, edgings, and short or crooked logs. The total theoretical
salvage possibilities were worked out entirely from basic data analyti-
cally derived, but cai-efidly cliei-ked from laboratory as well as com-
mercial operations.
Forests Should Be Public Utilities
i <'ontiiitud from pa<;r 17)
The t'hiof Forester concluded this part of his testimony with
the statement "that there is no use talking about cost" of refor-
estation, as this will go right into the market price of the timber
and be absorbed by the consumer.
Here C. H. Worcester of Chicago, one of the largest hardwood
lumber operators in the northern territory, raised the question
that the public would not stand for this added cost.
In reply to this Col. Greeley said that the cost of reforestation
would be a mere bagatelle as compared to the added cost of trans-
portation that would be imposed upon the consumer if reforestation
is neglected. "The increased cost of transportation because of
deforestation will be many times what reforestation would cost,"
he said. "We face the prospect that within ten or a dozen years
the only source of soft wood suppl3' will be in the Far West, with
a transportation charge of $12 or $25 a thousand feet. I do not
think the intelligent consumer of lumber is going to hesitate very
long over the cost of reforestation when facing such a cost. We
should have no fear of meeting the issue on this basis."
Col. Greeley answered the suggestion that reforestation might be
left largely to natural economic processes, with the statement that
a certain amount of reforestation is taking place because of eco-
nomic causes, but this process is so slow and inadequate that the
public would some day wake up and find that it was too late to
correct the loss of its timber except after a long period of eco-
nomic hardship.
We must adopt the attitude of the French, he said, whose forests
stand apart from all other property in the public interest because
of the long time required to produce trees. The American public
is rapidly coming to this vievrpoint, he continued. We should
recognize very clearly that some form of national forestry policy
must be worked out in which the country's forest lands are recog-
nized as a public utility. Owners of forest lands .should then
receive compensation from the public for the proper handling of
the land.
By placing the forest lands in the class of a public utility, refor-
estation by the private owner in cooperation with the public can
be made a reasonable proposition, he said.
Forester's Testimony Was Basic
The Chief Forester's statement formed the basis of much of
July 25, 1921
HARDWOOD RECORD
21
the subsequent testimony filed with the committee. Much of this
testimony canio out in the form of questions and answers — ques-
tions by otluT witnesses and members of the committee .-mswered
by the Chief Forester.
The questioning of the Chief Forester, however, was interspersed
by the statements of various other witnesses. The first of these
statements was made by A. L. Osborn of Oshkosh, Wis., who repre-
sented the Northern Hemlock & Hardwood Manufacturers' Associa-
tion. "The time has come for the people of the United States to
wake up to the necessity for the better handling of our timber
resources," Mr. Osborn said. "The day and hour is here when
something should be done to assure a perpetual forest supply."
Mr. Osliorn disagreed with the opinion of the Chief Forester
that fire protc^ction is the first essential of reforestation. He held
that "proper utilization of the timber cut will save more than if
we should stop all fires. ' '
Mr. Osborn wanted it understood that the lumbermen of the
northern territory desire to cooperate with all elements sincerely
interested in protecting the forest resources of the country from
devastation.
On behalf of the lumber industry Mr. Osborn disputed the popu-
lar belief that the lumberman is a plutocrat who, because of his
exceptional prosperity, should be made to bear the burden of refor-
estation. He declared that the "lumbermen as a class are not
exceptionally prosperous." That as a matter of fact the hazards
of the lumber business are so great as to be comparable with the
risks taken by a faro player. "The great body of lumbermen
fail," Mr. Osborn said, and the lumberman who accumulates great
wealth is the rare exception. "The lumbermen can not be .bur-
dened with any special load the public should carry," he declared.
Mr. Osborn agreed with Col. Greeley that fire protection is an
important phase of the reforestation problem, but disagreed with
him as to the cheapness of slash disposal. He said he had had
experience in which slash disposal cost as much as stumpage, and
he urged that the Chief Forester make a thorough investigation to
find out about the cost of slash disposal.
Can't Produce For Posterity
The lumbermen, Mr. Osborn said, arc prepared to share part of
the expense of protecting young growth on eutover land so that
it can come to maturity, but "the lumbermen do not feel and never
will feel that it is their duty to grow trees for future generations. ' '
As to proposed forestry policy legislation, Mr. Osborn said that
the control features of the Snell bill would be acceptable to the
lumbermen provided the limitations of this control are clearly de-
fined, and assurance is given that the control of private timber
lands will not be taken out of the hands of the owners.
Following Mr. Osborn 's statement, Dr. H. L. Drinker of Marion,
Pa., a member of the committee, questioned Col. Greeley as to the
constitutionality of the Capper bill, and the nature of the Snell
bill, whether regulatory or advisory?" Col. Greeley answered this
with the discussion of the Swedish reforestation policy and a com-
paration of principles of the Capper and Snell bills. The Swedish
law merely provides that the country's forest lands shall be kept
continuously productive, he said, leaving the application of this
principle to local committees. This carries out the idea of the
forest lands being a public utility.
Through its administration by local committees, which are rep-
resentative of all elements directly concerned, the mandatory
provisions of the Swedish law are largely turned into one of edu-
cation and cooperation, the Chief Forester said.
Here Prof. Filibert Roth of Michigan State University, Ann
Arbor, Mich., interposed the suggestion that the carrying out of
this method in America would 1)0 complicated by the fact that
timber lands in this country arc largely held in small tracts,
whereas in Sweden the forest lands are in large holdings and con-
sequently much easier to control.
Here, also, H. P. Pearsons, president of the Geographic Society
of Chicago and mayor of Evanston, 111., suggested that it may
require a constitutional amendment to permit the operation of a
measure like the Capper bill, which provides for tlu' use of Federal
police power to an extent that would conflict with state preroga-
tives. , •
L.atcr the Chief Forester exjiressed the belief that the Cap[ier bill
jprincijjle could not be put into effect in advance of a constitutional
amendment. This bill raises not only the (piestion of a constitu-
tionality, but also the important political question of private prop-
erty rights, or the right of Government to operate private enter-
prises.
On the other hand the Snell bill commends itself because it seems
undoubtedly constitutional and could be installed at once, he said.
At this point Wm. B. Baker of Chicago, secretary of the Associa-
tion of Wood Using Industries, a.sked for more light on the question
of the cost of reforestation, a question, he said, that had been
raised at the New York hearing of the committee, when George N.
Ostrander, president of the Empire Forest Products Association,
had said that the cost of operating either the Capper or Snell bills
•would be prohibitive. "The question is one of the cost of a system
of forestry versus the cost of no system of forestry," said Mr.
Baker.
Holds Cost Negligible
Col. Greeley replied that forestry practice is now actually costing
an average of 75 cents a thousand or a minimum of 25 cents and a
maximum of $1.75. But 18 cents a thousand would probably repre-
sent the cost of complete protection, because of the great extent of
the practice under a national policy. But should this cost be $1 a
thousand feet it would mean a total of only $50,000,000 or $52,000,-
000 a year, the Chief Forester said. "And say $50,000,000 is
annually expended on reforestation, such a figure need not even be
considered in the light of the heavy transportation cost that will
result from deforestation." Chicago alone, he declared, spends
annually over $22,500,QW more for freight on forest products than
she paid twenty-five years ago, because of the depletion of rela-
tively adjacent stands of timber.
Mr. Worcester was the next witness called and he stated that
while he favored putting into operation a bill such as the Snell
bill he objected to the saddling of the cost of slash disposal on the
lumberman. He differed with the Chief Forester's opinion that
the cost of slash disposal could be passed on to the consumer by
the lumberman. "We all know that lumber is sold for long periods
at prices which bear no relation to cost." "This condition prevails
today in many instances," he said. "The cost of slash disposal 50
per cent of the time will fall on the lumberman instead of the
]iul)lic. The people should pay the cost of reforestation because
the lumber industry four years out of five sells its product at a
loss at prices totally unrelated to cost."
The Chief Forester replied that this is because the lumber indus-
try overproduces and is overcapitalized.
Mr. Worcester answered that however true this might be the
lumber operator cannot stop producing in these lean years, but
must operate .at a loss in order to pay the cost of his overhead.
Chairman Goodwillie introduced the suggestion that the lumber-
III I M would be glad to have some system of regulating production
by ilriiKinil sii th;it this waste of the forest resources could be
a\'oiil('il.
.VI r. Worcester said that such a system would certainly strike the
lumber industry as ideal, but would be impossible of attainment.
He recalled that the Government had interposed serious objoc-
timis to the gathering and dissemination of information on stocks,
|ir(iiluction, etc., that might be used to regulate production by
ili'iiiand.
Greeley Favors Market Information
Col. Greeley declared in reply to this that he believed the free
circulation of market information a perfectly legitimate process,
and that it would eliminate much of the evil of over-production.
Herman H. Hettler, the Herman H. Hettler Lumber Company,
Chicago, was called at this point. His opinion was that the entire
responsibility for reforestation rests with the Federal Govern-
ment. He said that as the tracts of timber are cut off they should
be ])iirchased by the U. S. Government and reforested for posterity.

"There is no practical way for the private individual to i>lant
seedlings and wait for theni to grow up, but the Government can
do this," he said. The Government should take back the cut over
lands not suitable for agriculture and reforest them. If the owner
of such lands will not sell them they should be seized through the
usual condemnation proceedings.
Chairm.-m (Joiidwillie next called I'rof. Koth, dean of the Mich-
igan College of Forestry, whom lie described as the "Nestor of
forestrj'." Prof. Roth described the forestry practices of France
and Germany, where trees are grown under a hundred-year rota-
tion system. "We are coming to the European methods in this
country," he said. He expressed the opinion that what this coun-
try needs is a forestry constitutional ;iniendmoiit.
The "Four Cornerstones"
The leading witness on .luly !!• was Major William L. Hail of
Chicago, former assistant chief forester of the United States.
Major Hall laid down the "four cornerstones" of a successful
forestry policy. 1. Increase the public forests. Should add
2,000,000 acres a year for at least 75 years. 2. Protection of all
timbered and cut over lands not only from fire, but from insects
and fungi. 3. Measures necessary to more completely utilize the
wood nature has placed in our hands. This, he said, is of extreme
importance to the public and any system will be out of balance
which provides for the spending of large sums of money for refor-
estation and does not at the same time strive to economize in the
utilization of wood. 4. Reforestation — Timber planting is the big-
gest end of the problem. It is inevitable that the public must lead
in this; that the Federal Government must assume a large responsi-
bility in this, and the state an even larger responsibility. We
should plant 1,000,000 acres a year from now on. At the cost of
$10 an acre this will be $10,000,000 annually.
Some of the forestry policy legislation pending in Congress does
not cover these four paramount considerations, Major Hall said.
The Capper Bill covers only fire protection and does not provide
for reforestation, for research to ])revent waste of wood nor for
increase in the public forests. ' ' The Capper Bill is not a com-
plete forestry policy and is not proposed as such by its advocates,"
he said.
But the Suell Bill does cover, or attempt to cover, the essentials
of a complete forestry policy. "We might consider the Snell Bill
as a start toward a complete forestry policy," he said.
The interest of the wood user in reforestation was evidenced
by the testimony of Wm. B. Baker of Chicago, representing the
Association of Wood Using Industries, of which he is secretary.
Mr. Baker said that he believed the tacts brought out at this hear-
ing would enliven the interest of the wood user in reforestation,
because it would make him realize the urgency of the problem.
Previously this interest has been comparatively slight, because the
wood user depended upon some one else frfr his raw material and
therefore has not come in direct contact with the problem. ' ' The
interest of the wood user in reforestation has been lacking, but
will be thoroughly aroused as the wood user is made to realize that
at the present rate of depletion our standing hardwood timber will
be exhausted in twenty-nine years," he said. "In most cases the
wood user does not control his raw material, hence is dependent
upon the supply of the saw mill interests.
The cost of transport.ition is hpcomins ever one of greater Importance
to the wood user as affecting his raw material supply.
Miinufacturlns methods with the wood user have been subject to little
change until very recent years, and today practices of conservation are
lieing developed by the wood user tlu-ougli such energies as improved kiln
drying, stuudardization of products and Increased use of dimension stock.

the possibility of the further expansion of its use, and when the sum-
maries have been made it Is hoped that through co-operation with the
saw mill interests dimension stock can be manufactured more extensively
anil a wider market established for its use.
The subject of reforestation is so vital to the users of wood that in my
opinlcin a cnurse ut lectures should be arranged in public schools so that
till' importame of tree planting niid wood conservation shall have the
broadest possible application.
lu ccu^ilcsliin. the wood usiii-.; indu'*trii-s nrr and should be committed
tci a program of reforestation, and rather than let valuable time elapse
prefer to see some bill enacted by Congress, which, while It may not be
Ideal in all particulars, will educate the people to the importance of this
subject and pave the way tor such further steps as they may evolve.
C. v. Winslow, director of the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory,
who followed Mr. Baker, made the interesting statement that "if
ways and means could be found to utilize all the wood lost, largely
through lack of knowledge of the proper utilization, the stumpage
of the country would go two or three times as far as it will under
the present conditions. Therefore, he called the question of the
effective utilization of wood one of the very foremost factors in
the reforestation problem.
In conjunction with the subject of utilization Mr. Worcester
returned to the stand and expressed some opinions on the "eco-
nomic features of utilization." He asked the Chief Forester if it
were not a fact that if the consumers of lumber were willing to buy
all grades that only 60 per cent of the stumpage now being cut
would be necessary to meet the demand? In short, the lumber
industry is compelled to cut over 40 per cent more timber land than
really necessary in order to supply the clear cuttings the consumer
demands. Is it not true that the consumer's insistence on clear
lumber occasions a large part of the waste?
Col, Greeley replied that it could not be expected that a full
program of waste saving could be put through quickly, but that
this must be a matter of slow growth.
Mr. Worcester admitted that there is quite a field for expansion
of the manufacture and use of dimension stock, as one instance of
saving, but the stumbling block in the way of this saving was that
the consumer wants to buy dimension stock cheaper than lumber
.and insists on its delivery dry. He said that lumbermen who have
made dimension stock and lost by the experiment will not readily
undertake it again.
Scarcity is the only thing that will bring about effective utiliza-
tion and elimination of waste, Mr. Worcester maintained. "As
long as lumber is cheap the American people are going to use the
best. The American public has been educated on cheap wood and
is therefore going to waste it."
Col. Greeley conceded that to a certain extent it will require a
scarcity of timber to bring about economical utilization, but he
maintained that this process can be aided tremendously bj' intelli-
gent study of the problem, such as is being made by the Forest
Products Laboratory.
Northern Wholesalers at Rhinelander
The Northern Wholesale Hardwood Lumber Association con-
vened for its quarterly meeting at Rhinelander, Wis., on Friday,
July 15, at which President T. T. Jones, presided. The affair was
novel in that the session was an out-of.-doors gathering, a pavilion
having been selected for this purpose located on a high point
overlooking Lake Julia.
President Jones invited everybody present who had any opti-
mistic thoughts to express them, stating that it was now time
for all to take a brighter outlook at conditions and unburden their
minds of the pessimistic viewpoint, as by so doing they would
favorably influence business.
A. L. Ford, managing editor of the American Lumberman, was
the chief speaker of the day, discoursing on present conditions and
the future for the hardwood lumber business, stating that a recent
study of the furniture markets showed a good deal of activity
among furniture manufacturers and low stocks among the retailers,
and that the railroads will necessarilv have to come into the mar-
ket soon for very much needed equipment and repairs, and will do
so as soon as they have the required finances.
Some of those present then gave an expression of their ideas on
these various subjects, and all agreed that although an improve-
ment is in sight, it behooves all to bestir themselves to even
harder effort to secure business, and that the one who does keep
after it constantly and indefatigably is the one who will gain the
most business.
Secretary J. F. Haydeu "s report on the building situation, condi-
tion of lumber stocks and other statistical information was lis-
tened to with great interest.

CONTINENTAL AND COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK, and CALVIN FENTRESS, CHICAGO. TRUSTEES
The following information is summarized from a letter by Edward Hines, Pres. of Edward Mines Lumber Co.:
BUSINESS: The Edward Hines associated lumber interests are the largest wholesalers of lumber in the United
States, and the owners of two of the most valuable bodies of timber remaining in this country.
DIRECTORS: The directors of the Edward Hines Lumber Co. are Edward Hines, L. L. Earth, C. F. Wiehe,
and W. J. Carney of Chicago, and F. E. Weyerhaeuser of St. Paul.
ASSETS: After giving effect to the present financing, the consolidated balance sheet of the Edward Hines
Lumber Co. and associated interests, as of December 31, 1920, as audited by Marwick, Mitchell & Company,
shows total assets of approximately $33,700,000, after deducting all indebtedness excepting this loan, or nearly
seven times the present issue. The net current and working assets alone are approximately $7,200,000.
SECURITY: These bonds are secured by a first mortgage on properties of the Park Falls Lumber Co. and Ed-
ward Hines Yellow Pine Trustees, comprising approximately 305,000 acres of timber lands in Wisconsin and
Mississippi, all owned in fee simple (except 19,000 acres of timber rights), estimated to carry 2,700,000,000 feet
of merchantable timber, together with five sawmills, railroads and other equipment. On the basis of pre-war
prices for timber, and cost less depreciation for sawmills and equipment, the value of these properties is over
$20,000,000, or more than four times the amount of the bonds.
MAINTENANCE QUICK ASSETS : The Trust Deed provides that at all times during the life of these bonds
the combined net current assets of the Makers shall be maintained at a simi at least equal to 100% of the
amount of the bonds outstanding.
EARNINGS: For the year 1920, after providing for depletion of timber, maintenance and depreciation of physical
properties, the net earnings, before Federal Taxes, of the Edward Hines Lumber Co. and associated interests,
as reported by Marwick, Mitchell & Company, available for interest charges, amounted to $1,296,744.70. For
the years 1917 to 1920 inclusive such net earnings averaged $1,432,401.56 per annum, or over three times the
annual interest charges on the total indebtedness outstanding. Since organization, 29 years ago, the surplus
earnings available for dividends of the Company and its associated interests have averaged approximately
$700,000 per annum.
RELEASE OF TIMBER: The Trust Deed provides that a releasing price for timber of $4.50 per thousand feet
shall be paid and used for the retirement of these bands, except that a total of 400,000,000 feet of timber may
be removed without such payment. Payments of this releasing price should provide over $750,000 annually for
payment of these bonds.

News from the National Capital
Furnishing information rogarding the costs of production and
distribution liy an association of manufacturers to its members is
open to question because of its tendency to induce those who use
it to disregard their actual and individual costs and to adopt a
standard or average which does not relate to their business, as well
as to add to the margin on this uniform basis, Nelson B. Gaskill,
Acting Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, declared on
July 16.
The statement was made in reply to a letter of inquiry addressed
to the Commission by E. J. Moss, of the American Sash and Door
Company, of Kansas City, in which it was stated that he jjro-
posed to incorporate the Mill Work Cost Bureau, formed of a
group of planing mill houses which submit to a central agency their
actual costs on completed products, from which average or stand-
ard costs are computed. Among other purposes under the pro-
posed charter, the Bureau would furnish from time to time informa-
tion to its members relating to the manufacturing and distributing
costs of various kinds of mill work and to supply its members with
suitable schedules or lists of mill work, from time to time, showing
the cost thereof, based on tests made in the factories of its
members.
The result of the issuance of these lists, said Commissioner Gas-
kill, "is a trend towards uniformity of selling price and the lessen-
ing of competitive sales on the basis of efficiency. The effect
might be — in the absence of an ability to forecast consequences,
we cannot say it will be — to characterize the Bureau as a combina-
tion to lessen competition and to restrain trade, even to create
monopoly.
One of the most valuable functions of a trade association is eilucntion
in proper methods of cost accounting, so that the member nia.v know as
accurately as possible and compete with knoNvledge of his own business.
He must make Its own prices. And any concerted effort to substitute
for the individual's actual cost, what may be to him a highly arbitrary and
uniform cost basis, seems to be a dangerous misuse of the Bureau's
processes. It takes away the necessity for individual costs accounting by
creating an arbitrary cost standard.
It deprives the efficient of the competitive advantage which efficienc.v
gives and tends to raise the selling price to the consumer. Furthermore,
the pressure toward the arbitrary use of standard costs disregards the
fact that these costs vary continuously not onl.v with the several mills,
but with the whole industry, and that those changes can not be reflected
to the consumer under the uniform cost list as promptly as by the indi-
vidual producers each working from his own mill.
The Commission has no legal power to approve or disapprove your
project at this stage. Its opinion in the matter may be apparent. Only
this is sure: If you do not publish a uniform cost list nor endeavor to
educate your member.ship to the use of standard cost, you will, so far as
this is concerned, be within the law.
******** *»
Members of the American. Forestry Association who have charged
that the organization is managed under undemocratic methods will
have a hearing on their allegations in the near future in Washing-
ton or in New York City, it has been stated by officials of the
organization here. Although no date has yet been set, it is under-
stood that tlie hearing will probably be held in September or
OctoliiT.
Outlining the protests of those who seek reform in the associa-
tion, a statement signed by the foresters says that they "recognize
with profound regret that the association has adopted a course
which, unless promi)tly corrected, forfeits its rights to the confi-
dence of the public and clearly invalidates its claim to represent
the forest interests of the people."
The protests declare that by amendment to the by-laws adopted
at the last annual meeting in Washington in February, 1921, the
control of the association was taken out of the hands of its mem-
bers and given over to a "self -perpetuating board with unusual
powers." Also, that the "financial management of the associa-
tion is not sound," and that the association has "confined itself
too exclusively to the work of general publicity and failed to take
a leadership in many of the vital issues involving State and Fed-
eral legislation, especially where controversies are involved."
The protests are signed by more than 100 prominent foresters.
Many are officers of State forestry associations or State forestry
officers. Others are directors or professors in schools for forestry,
and scores are in the forest services of the States, the Federal Gov-
ernment and Canada. Gifford Pinchot is a signer, as is W. B.
Greeley, Chief Forester, and Henry S. Graves, ex-Chief Forester.
#*******•*
A new forest experiment station, the first in the Eastern States,
will be established at Asheville, N. C, within a short time by the
Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture, it was announced
here this week. Steady depletion of the Southern Appalachian
timber supply has been responsible for the location of this station
in the East, and the subject of the work to be conducted will be to
secure information needed by foresters for the best methods of
handling forest lands in the southern mountains. .
For many years the United States has depended for a large part
of its hardwood timber products on North Carolina, Virginia, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and South Caro-
lina, the Forest Service declares. The crest of hardwood produc-
tion in this region, with a cut of approximately four billion feet,
was reached in 1909. By 1918 the production had fallen off nearly
60 per cent, in the face of rising lumber prices and increasing
demands.
' ' There is every reason to expect the same trend to continue,
owing to the steady decrease in timber supplies," the Bureau
states. Continuing the statement says:
"The country as a whole will, in the future, have to depend on
the steep mountain slopes of the Southern Appalachians for a very
large percentage of its high grade hardwood supplies. The bulk
of the remaining hardwood stands is now in the Lower Mississippi
Valley, and it is practically certain that a large part of this rich
bottom land will be used for agricultural purposes when the timber
is removed. The entire country should therefore be directly inter-
ested in bringing about the growing of hardwood timber in this
region where ideal conditions exist for its production.
Northern Manufacturers Endorse Practicable Forestry
AT THEIR meeting at the South Shore Country Club, Friday,
July 22, as guests of Edward Hines of Chicago, members of
the Northern Hemlock and Hardwood Manufacturers' Associa-
tion put themselves on record through resolution as being favorable
to the application of forestry principles wherever it ,is demon-
strated that that application may be economically and financially
jjossible.
The association addressed its thought to the forestry committee
of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in a letter
prepared and passed as a resolution, in which the lumbermen rec-
ognized it as their duty to cut wisely and with the greatest care
for the future supply and with full utilization of the present
product'. The letter was opposed to slash burning and regulation
of tree cutting. It further stated that even thougli present taxes
are practically confiscatory and though the timber owners are

THE supreme test of confidence in
one's product is represented in the
published brand. In the lumber in-
dustry where the sale of products is
limited to comparatively few customers,
the goods and the service musf be of
unquestioned excellence or the brand will
destroy — not build — confidence. The
H R brand has stood the test for many
years. It has been the reason for count-
less repeat orders and many long stand-
ing accounts. Holly Ridge Hardwoods
are manufactured on our own band mills
and are shipped direct to the consuming
trade under the famous H R standard-
ized grades — as ample warranty of good
faith as can be maintained in the sale of
hardwood lumber.

entitled to protection just as much as is the city property holdor,
tlie lumberman will under proper conditions share, through further
taxation, the expense of patrol and defense against fires.
Holding that it would be unconstitutional to compel private own-
ers to grow trees for the benefit of the public, the letter stated
that this action is a private obligation and that no step forward
can be taken until that principle is accepted.
M. J. Fox, president, was in the chair and addressed the meeting
briefly admonishing members to run if they possibly could in
order to maintain dependable workers.
Due to the rapid liquidation of all goods, Mr. Fox expressed a
great deal of hope for the future.
Other regular reports were made, E. B. Goodman, chairman of the
committee on labor, maintaining that labor has not yet come down
with the liquidation of living costs and must do so.
A. L. Osborn, chairman of the bureau of transportation and
legislation, referred to apparently favorable efforts to reduce
coast rates on products of the association, the rate west being
106% cents as against a 7.3 cent rate east for western production.
After luncheon, E. A. Hamar reported on legislative matters in
the upper peninsula and Ray McQuillan, chairman of the inspec-
tion committee, reported for that body.
Edward Hines of Chicago offered a resolution which was passed,
protesting against the practice of selling combined firsts and sec-
onds and selects without specifying percentages. In commenting on
market conditions, Mr. Hines was hopeful for the future and stated
that with the deplorable present conditions of lower grades, he was
withdrawing all No. 3 common from the market at his Park Falls
mills until it might be possible to realize $15 a thousand for this
grade at tho mill.
A. H. Klass, chairman of the committee of statistics and educa-
tional information, maintained that business so far this year has been
only fifty to sixty per cent normal. Selects and better grades are
below normal; No. 1 common practically normal, and Xo. 2 or No. 3
common considerably above normal in supply.
The following in part is the resolution which defines the association's
stand on a national forestry policy :
"First, we recognize the necessity of providing ample timber supplies for
future generations ;
"Second, that reforestation should be practiced by private enterprise
whenever it is demonstrated to be economically and financially possible ;
"Third, that the work of demonstrating the practicability of methods
for successful reforestation is a governmental function ;
"Fourth, that the principles of co-operation between the Federal and
state governments and private owners, as enunciated in the Snell bill, be
approved :
"Fifth, that the Snell bill be indorsed whenever by investigation and
practical experiment it is determined that the purposes stated in same are
attainable and desirable, and the essential requirements of a policy that
will accomplish such purposes are clearly stated in the bill :
"Sixth, any forestry legislation should definitely assure to the private
citizen his constitutional rights of the possession of the fruits of his labor,
and of the ownership and direction of his property ; and
"BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we recognize that among the
things desired to be accomplished for the protection of young timber
growth are the following:
"First, control, and where possible, the elimination of fires ;
"Second, increased utilization of forest material by improved methods
of manufacture and liuilding construction ;
"Third, adoption of such tax laws as will provide the states with neces-
sary revenues while forest lands are exempted from taxation to encourage
forest growth ;
"Fourth, amendment and modification of Federal and state anti-trust
laws to permit a reasonable co-operation among lumber manufacturers,
under the supervision of the courts, for the purpose of eliminating uneces-
sary and destructive competition in the wasteful production of lumber In
excess of public requirements ; and.
"BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Northern Hemlocl! and Hard-
wood Manufacturers' -Association offer and extend to the forestry author-
ities of the Federal and state governments the fullest co-operation, in mak-
ing comprehensive demonstrations and field investigations to determine
the 'essential requirements' necessary to successfully promote practical
forestry practices."

Michigan Operators Hold Annual Convention
Quantities of firsts and seconds and selects In the stocks of the mem-
bers of the Michigan Hardwood Manufacturers' Association are very small
at this time, reports made at the fifteenth annual meeting in Detroit,
Mich., at the Statler Hotel on July 20, showed. The percentage of firsts
and seconds in birch was shown to be but 3 per cent of the total stock of
birch ; of soft elm, 3.7 per cent ; of maple less than 1 per cent ; of bass-
wood only 7 per cent, and In the other woods virtually no firsts and
seconds.
The total of all hardwoods appeared to be 50 per cent over that of a
year ago, but in July, 1920, the stocks ou hand were less than 40 per cent
of normal. It seems also that a large quantity of the stock sold has not
been shipped, which accounts for about 33 per cent of the stocks on hand.
In July, 1920, the stock unsold was very small ; in fact, barely 20 per
cent of the stock then on hand.
The accumulation of low grades is much more marked this year than
In July, 1920, there now being 60 per cent more low grade lumber on
hand than at this time last year. A large part of this is No. 3 common
maple.
A contract of total results for the first six months of 1921 as compared
with 1920 showed that out of a production of hemlock and hardwoods of
174,000,000 feet in the first half of 1920, shipments were made of
154,000,000 feet, while of the production of 150,000,000 feet of all woods
the first half of 1921 shipments were made of 71,000,000 feet. A large
part of this excessive surplus, however, is in the staple hardwoods, which,
the members of the trade believe, are assured of an early market.
An extended examination of the problem of lower freight rates to the
Pacific Coast and other rate questions resulted in the consensus of opinion
that some vigorous action must be taken to compel the railroads to give
these rate pleas their prompt attention. The Michigan manufacturers
some time ago applied to the trans-continental roads for the same rate
on west bound lumber that is now accorded east bound lumber from
the Pacific Coast, namely, 72 cents. Lumber and hardwood flooring is now
being burdened wilh a rate of $1.13V^ per 100 pounds from lower Mich-
igan points to common points on the coast and $1.06% from upper Mich-
igan points. The railroads emphatically declare the 72 cent west bound
rate Impossible, but did promise that when the inter-mountain freight
rate case was settled they would take up the question of lowering rates
from upper and lower Michigan to the coast. The members of the asso-
ciation also want a readjustment of intra-state rates in Michigan
A discussion of market conditions was nearly unanimously to the effect
that trade is far below normal for this time of the year. But fall pros-
pects were rated much more favorably, especially as there is every evidence
of a considerable revival of demand in the furniture and automobile indus-
tries, which take a large part of the Michigan product.
The following is the result of the annual election :

Extreme South Demands Lower Rates
Further demands for drastic freight reductions on hardwood lumber
or at least readjustment that will place the extreme Southern territory on
an equal basis with the other sections of the United States were vigor-
ously sounded by the Southwestern Hardwood Manufacturers' Club, com-
prising leading manufacturers in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi at the
club's regular monthly meeting at Lumbermen's Quarters. lOS University
Place, New Orleans, Thursday, July 14.
The leading addresses on the subject were made by Frank R. Gadd, of
the statistical department of the American Hardwood Manufacturers' As-

sociation ; J. H. Townshend, of the Southern Hardwood TrafiBc Association,
and C. H. .Shcrrill of the Sherrill Hardwood Lumber Company, who pointed
out forcefully the discrimination which is alleged to be obtaining against
the manufacturers of the tri-state territory and also Alabama as well as
states further North.
Another important matter handled by the club was the troublesome
question as to its legal right to prepare and discuss at its meetings pro-
duction cost data, which was definitely settled in the affirmative by a
letter from L. C. Boyle, counsel of the American Hardwood Manufac-
turers' Association, read at the meeting. -Attorney Boyle assured the
members that the fact that some were also members of the American did
not affect their right to hold their club meeting or to gather production
cost data.
To further the work, the following resolution, offered by C. H. Shcrrill,
was adopted and a committee appointed to carry out its provisions :
"That a new committee be appointed to prepare a scale of standard
production costs for the manufacturers of hardwood lumber, based on
single band mill of 30,000 feet capacity per day and also on double band
mill of 60,000 feet capacity per day based on fixed scale of wages for
necessary employes, except oflicers and office employes, excepting also sell-
ing costs, discounts, interest, insurance, taxes, depreciation and adver-
tising expenses. This standard to be based on first run timber."
C. J. Coppock, president of the club, appointed on this committee : C.
H. Sherrill, chairman ; W. B. Morgan, John Deblieux, F. R. Gadd, J. W.
Thompson, Percy Bass and C. W. Weeks.
With the Trade
Stark Resumes Sawing
James E. Stark & Company, Inc., Resumed operations at their band mill
in North Memphis last week. They are taking care of contract timber
which must be moved during 1921 and will have a run of approximately
30 days.
Kelsey Saw Mill Closes
The saw mill of the Kelsey Wheel Company, North Memphis, Tenn..
which has' been operating heretofore, has closed down. The management
is authority for the statement that it is impossible to profitably manufac-
ture low grade lumber on present transportation rates, and gives this as
the reason for its action. Closing down of the saw mill will not affect
the wheel plant, which is operating on partial time.
Coulson Company Bankrupt
The Coulson Lumber Company, with headquarters in this city and with
mills at Tchula, Miss., and Garland City, Ark., filed an involuntary peti-
tion in bankruptcy in the federal court here late Tuesday evening, July 19,
as a result of its inability to convert its assets into cash and difficulty
in effecting satisfactory settlement of a judgment of $25,000 rendered
against it in favor of the Globe-Bosse-World Furniture Company, Evans-
ville, Ind.
Liabilities are scheduled at .$200,413.44, while assets are placed at
$147,951.22. A considerable portion of the liabilities are reported to con-
sist of contingent notes, and It is pointed out that, if these were elimi-
nated, liabilities would amount to only about $125,000.
It is expected that Harry B. Anderson, referee In bankruptcy, will
appoint a receiver to take charge of affairs of the firm, which has been
engaged in the lumber business here for about nine years.
Thorn Launches Own Business Ship
W. S. Thom, sales manager of the Langlade Lumber Company of Antigo,
Wis., has resigned, effective July 15, to engage in business on his own
account, with headquarters at Wausau, Wis. His place has been filled by
the appointment of Roy E. James, who up to this time has been represent-
ing the Langlade interests in the Southern Wisconsin territory. Mr.
Thom was associated with the Langlade company for five years, or virtually
since Its Inception.
Long-Bell General Manager Retires
C. H. Dodd, for the last eleven years treasurer and general manager
of the Hudson River Lumber Company at DeRidder, La., one of the oldest
associated companies of the Long-Bell Lumber Company, has announced
his resignation, effective July 1, 1921. Mr. Dodd will retire and will make
his home in Dallas, Tex.
Mr. Dodd will be succeeded at DeRidder by W. E. Sailor, who has been
superintendent at that mill for the last twelve years.
Both Mr. Dodd and Mr. Sailor have been with Long-Bell more than
twenty-five years.
Perkins Wins Judgment
On July G, 1921, the District Court in the Grand Rapids District, entered
judgment tor $20,000 against the firm of The Hood-Wright Company (or
infringement of the Perkins' patents. The appeal which had been previ-
ously taken from the decision in this case has been abandoned and the
judgment paid by Mr. Hood and Mr. Wright.

under the lead of the College of Forestry of Syracuse University every
possible effort will be made to develop it as a timber-growing tract. The
land Is much more suitable for that than for farming, as the surface is
much broken and interspersed with rapid streams. An effort is being
made to interest all sorts of people through various civic societies.

other divisions of export lumber, all of the samples clearly labeled and so
placed as to show off quality and general character. It was the only
exhibit made by anyone engaged in the lumber trade, with the exception
of the representation of the box making industry gotten up by the North
Carolina Pine Box and Shook Manufacturers' Association, adjoining, and
it attracted thousands of visitors, many of whom had never seen the vari-
ous kinds of woods so arranged as to make clear their differences and
their physical peculiarities.
The display was divided into two equal parts by a kind of wall made
of boards, the center of the first section being taken up by a big black
walnut log. such as are in great request by the venw'r makers. This log
measured 28 inches across the top. Hewn timbers, squared to meet the
requirements of the export trade, occupied corner positions, and there
were a large number of other items, which not only proved of interest to
the casual visitor, but were an instructive object lesson to lumbermen
generally.

Comparatively little comment is offered on the proposed American tarifE
on dressed lumber. Canada levies a duty on imports of dressed lumber
into this country, so it does not occasion surprise that most of the objec-
tions to the United States tarifE emanates from American importers. The
great hulk of Canadian exports are "in the rough," or undressed lumber.
Quite a number of mills would be affected, but meanwhile there are strenu-
ous objections offered by the American interests that are importers of
dressed lumber from Canada.

DRY KILNS SAVE
BECAUSE:
1. Practically all of the air is continually re-
circulated— we do not attempt to heat all
outdoors to create a circulation.
2. Steam consumption low^er than any other
kiln, because there are no cold curtains in
the kiln to condense and chill the air.
3. 25% greater loading capacity per truck
than any other competitive kiln.
4. Building construction cost greatly reduced
due to the previous point, and absence of
flues, etc., in building walls.
5. VERY LOW INSTALLATION COST
as apparatus comes in compact units ready
to be set up.
6. By using the exhaust steam from the en-
gine-driven fan it makes your power cost
nil and gives you 100% efficiency of your
steam. First you use the pressure and
then the heat of your steam.
7. Positive automatic control valves fur-
nished, permit rigid steam economy.
8. Seven changes of air per minute across

The morale of the hardwood interests selling on this market has been
noticeably Improved by the good reports that come from the Grand
Rapids and (.'hicago furniture markets. The business booked by the
furniture manufacturors on these two markets gives promise of an impor-
tant iinprov<-ment in demand in the latter part of August or early autumn.
It is believed that the lumber stoeks of the furniture makers are very
low, and that they will have to take on considerable more lumber to flll
the orders they have booked in the past few weeks. Trade in hardwood
flooring U holding up well and the demand for trim is good. The steadi-
ness of prices fitr the scarce upper grades and the relative weakness in
lower grade prices continues.
BUFFALO
llanlwooii trade is ylinwing less activity than a month ago, and hardly
any purchaser is Interested. The business depression in the East shows
no signs of letting up. although the prediction is made that some improve-
ment will take place this fall. It is based on the feeling that things
generally do get better in the fall, and they ought to do so this year, attel
a long period of dullness. But the prophecies of good times this fall havt
been revised to some extent. Buying of hardwoods is not expected to
make any sudden strides from present conditions.
I'rici'S are naturally showing the effects of the severe competition. The
mills and the wholesalers in Southern territory have a good deal of stock
to sell in the common grades, and until the business begins to pick up
there is not much expectation of additional firmness in such stock. The
price does not make much difference to the buyer who has no need of addl-
ti()nal supplies at this time.
CLEVELAND
I,.ittle change in the hardwood market situation can be noted in the last
fortnight here. General manufacturing activities have diminished to a
low ebb, and the requirements of hardwoods from this source are no larger
than they have been since May 1. The automobile trade, hitherto looked
upon as a sort of mainstay in this division for the hardwood faction, has
curtailed rather than expanded its output. The upset to the building
industry as a whole through the strike of building trades operatives dur*
ing May, and the uncertainty of the house building public, which offers
the most significant market for interior finish, that the market as far as
labor is concerned has not reached bottom, is holding back what might
otherwise be a normal year. Hence while there is some improvement over
a month or so ago. by no means is this improvement bringing hardwood
liemand up to normal. It is equally significant that while bigger build-
ing operations are being contemplated in large number, actual contracts
are slower in being placed. In the face of these conditions the market
here remains surprisingly steady, and while prices may not be strong,
there is less shading of quotations, and holders appear willing to await
further developments.
BOSTON
The market is unmistakably tiuiet. This is ascribed to the recent holi-
days, the hot weather and the fact that this is naturally a quiet time of
year. It is also, of course, due to some extent to the general business
situation and the credit situation. There is a slight improvement in
demand and inquiry all along the line, but it is unfortunately a very slight
improvement. A feature of the market the past fortnight is the fact that
there has been considerable inquiry for finish noted. The fact is that
the house finish people are figuring on a number of jobs at the present
time. But thus far the inquiry, which is generous in volume, has not been
followed by orders of any importance. There continues to be a fair
volume of business, considering all things, from the hardwood yards. They
and the furniture people furnish the bulk of business. There has indeed
been a slight falling off in demand from the furniture makers, and from
the chair makers especially demand at this time is quite slack, and with
the railroads and in the way of export business there is practically no
trade. There is really little pep to the market, but on the other hand the
tone of the market is very firm. This, of course, applies to firsts and
seconds. There has been no change in prices of the upper grades and the
market for them is firm, but there continues to be accumulation in the
lower grades and a wide range between the prices of the upper grades
and the prices of the common grades.
BALTIMORE
Conditions in the hardwood trade have undergone no important modi-
tications in the last two weeks. Mills are hoUIing down on the production
and the buyers are by no means eager to place orders, their requirements
still being quite moderate, so that even price revisions downward do not
always secure business. It is not so much that purchasers want to depress

Grand Rapids Does '* Normal" Business
Orders Booked by Furniture Manufacturers on July Market Will Keep Majority
of Plants Running with Full Crews Full Time for Months
The close of the third week of the July furniture market found
an official registration of buyers numbering 2, 1 63. With still one
week more to go it was the belief that a new high record for
buyers might be established. The present high record is 2,244
made in the big riot market of July, 1919.
This attendance has been somewhat of a surprise. A large
number of buyers was expected but it was little thought it would
run above the 2,000 mark. It may be added, too, that the buying,
the actual placing of orders, has been in excess of what was
expected.
All Grand Rapids factories have done a large business in the
market, enough to ■warrant a resumption of full crew, full time
schedule and with the outlook that this situation will continue up
to the opening of the next January market. Indeed, a few of the
Rapids plants are sold up if all the orders placed are confirmed
and no untoward disturbance occurs to bring about cancellations.
TTie situation is so vast an improvement both in concrete terms
and in atmosphere over last July and last January that all branches
of the industry are feeling entirely hopeful that the return of
normal conditions is close at hand.
Outside manufacturers as a rule did not do as well as those of
Grand Rapids and vicinity except in spots. The reason for this
lay entirely in the matters of design and price. The Grand Rapids
factories led the way by bringing out entirely new lines in which
in many instances not a single old design was shown and in all
cases the vast percentage of designs was new. Added to this the
Grand Rapids manufacturers placed most unheard-of low prices
upon their lines. It is charged by some that in some instances
these prices are below cost. The manufacturers deny this, but
admit that the margin of profit has been placed at a minimum
because they were anxious to start furniture moving, to keep their
factories running at full time with full crews and on the theory
that the overhead is no greater with full production than with part
time and with small margins of profit and large volume they will
be able to make money even at the exceedingly low prices they
are charging.
Some outside manufacturers caught the idea and did likewise.
The result was that these, too. did a good business but the manu-
facturer who had only his old designs and did not get his prices
down is entirely "out of luck." Buyers were admittedly shopping
in this market. They have said frankly that they can sell furni-
ture only that is startling in design and a bargain in price and so
they have been demanding that of the manufacturer. The result
i.*i that probably more buyers visited more lines this market than
ever before in its history. They were around "looking" and they
looked in upon almost every line, many times not buying until
after they had made a pretty general survey and then went back
to place the orders where they could do so most advantageously.
The result is, too, that many lines have many strange names upon
their books because their designs and their prices have attracted
buyers who never before bought from them.
Prices Considered at Bottom
That prices are now just as low as they ever will be and that
the next move will probably be a raise in price seems admitted by
almost everybody, dealers included. Even during the second week
of the market lumber operators here announced advances in the
price of lumber and some of them without making announcement
declared that unless they could get a better price for their product
than they have been getting they would close down their mills
and wait until the demand forced the prices up to a profit paying
basis. Manufacturers quite generally have considered this a good
time to buy lumber and one made the statement during the first
week of the market: "1 think these are the bargain days for lum-
ber. 1 shall buy all I can swing now for 1 don't believe we will
ever get good lumber at anything like the prices now asked."
An interesting development from the lumberman's standpoint
in the new designs is the greatly increased use of oak. Almost
every line in the market which did anything of consequence that
was new produced at least one fine suite in oak. Many of these
suites were of very rare beauty. The old idea that oak means
golden oak was gotten so far away from that the thought of the
wood was limited very largely to the durability of it. More than
this, too. Many manufacturers have discarded the mahogany and
walnut interiors for their finest suites and have put in quartered
white oak drawers and interiors. These being beautifully finished
have really been drawing cards to the buyers.
The designs, too, have turned very largely away from the period
design so popular in the last several years. Designers are a little
puzzled as to what to call the new designs but are inclined to say
when asked: "Well, that is an American design." They lean
strongly toward the old colonial much simplified and less massive,
but what really has happened is that while the Heppelwhite, or
Adam, or Chippendale motif has been preserved, each individual
designer has added so much of his own thought to his work that
one really must look for the motif. The age of individualism
in design is here and it is predicted that before long the design
will be known by the name of the American designer or by the
factory name rather than by the name of Chippendale, Adam or
anybody else.
The Italian designs wh! h came strongly a few seasons ago is
more pronounced in this n arket than ever outside those "Ameri-
can" designs spoken of above. But even the Italian designs have
taken on some wonderful shapes and hues for the polychrome has
been used unsparingly In some instances and the massive, sombre,
severe Italian furniture has been lighted up with some extremely
bright and glaring colors put on In most inconceivable wrays.
The old fashioned painted furniture also showed up strongly in
the July market. Almost every line contained no small amount
of this. Some of this looks exactly like that our grandmothers
rejoiced in while others were very daintily decorated by Japanese
artists and other decorators and is expensive and very dainty and
beautiful. Under this painted furniture may be found all manner
of woods such as maple, birch, elm and, in the cheaper grades,
poplar.
The outlook for the retail trade as taken from interviews with
dealers from all parts of the country indicates renewed activities
in the furniture Industry. In the south conditions are at their worst
and worse there than in any other section of the country. But
even there dealers are managing to dispose of some furniture and
In the market were buying rather liberally. With them it is a
case of keeping the stores stocked anyway for in their efforts to
unload and because they have bought practically nothing for a
full j'ear they are now right down to the bare boards in most
instances.
In other sections, however, the volume of business is reported
by the dealers to be about on a par with normal times. This by
comparison with the big boom year of I 91 9 and the first half of
1920 seems rather tame but the dealer who takes the trouble to
go back over his books finds that the last two months have brought
his first half year's total up to practically a normal basis. In as
much as they did almost nothing during the first three months of
the year, the Increased buying in May and June is taken as an

Fair Business Continues in Chicago
Volume of Furniture Orders Booked Far Exceeds Purchases on the January
Market; Good Road Business Is Expected in August
Exhibitors at the various Chicago furniture market buildings
enjoyed a fair business throughout the two weeks which ended
July 24. the buying fully bearing out the promise of the second week
of the market when "buying buyers" first began to appear in
Chicago in goodly number.
There have been variations from this state of "fair business"
in both directions. Some concerns have booked an extremely fine
volume of orders, while others have failed to secure what they
consider a fair volume. For instance, S. Karpen & Bros., have done
a booming business at their South Wabash avenue show building.
King Karpen, sales manager, declared that twice as large a volume
of orders was booked on this market as his concern expected. Busi-
ness is quite up to normal, he said, and their plants will continue
to operate full time. They are sold up to November. On the
other hand, A. W. Adams, sales manager of the Heywood-Wake-
field Company, when interviewed at 1415 Michigan avenue,
said that business in their chair lines on the July market has not
been at all satisfactory.
Mr. Adams said that the buyers do not appear to have regained
confidence enough to buy chairs except for their urgent needs.
They appear to still anticipate lower prices. Prospects do a great
deal of looking and memorandum taking but buy very little. He
expects a good road business in August, however. Mr. Adams
believes that the retailers need chairs and other furniture. His
information is that while in volume they may have pretty fair
stocks, these are not properly assorted to serve their trade. What
the retailer must buy for at this time is to properly balance his
stock. Mr. Adams also believes that th" majority of the retailers
have already largely liquidated their c'ocks and those who have
done so will put their prices down and hold August sales. He cited
one instance where a large department store in a city of metro-
politan size, which up to this time has not liquidated its furniture
stocks, intends to do so in August. Mr. Adams talked to an official
of this concern, who said that he would go back home and prepare
for a sale in August.
The August sales by the furniture stores in the larger cities
will clear the way for the sale of a great deal of furniture to the re-
tailers, Mr. Adams believes and his opinion was confirmed by the
views of other sellers on the July market.
Mr. Adams reported that his company has done a good business
in its lines of reed furniture, in spite of the small demand for chairs.
He attributed this to the demand of the public for cheaper furniture.
Other manufacturers of chairs reported slow business. The
representative of one big company said that the buyers are refusing
to take the high class lines of chairs and are confining their buying
largely to the cheaper lines.
The Spencer Table Company of Marion, Indiana, dining room
table manufacturers, is one of the firms that has been rejoicing
in a good, steady demand. F. E. Hoop of this company said a week
ago that enough orders had already been booked for a two months*
run at full time.
The Kiel Furniture Company, of Milwaukee, manufacturers of
library, living room, parlor and dining room tables, have had a
fine business in all lines, but especially in library tables. Walnut
and mahogany lead in demand, though they sold a good volume of
oak.
R. P. Burkhardt of the Stomps-Burkhardt Company, manufactur-
ers of chairs and rockers, reported only a fair business, which he
said he expected would be greatly improved upon by ;he road
men in August.
The Stout Furniture Company has done a good business, justi-
fying in orders booked on this market the continued operation of
its plant at capacity.
Business on this market has not been at all satisfactory to E. H.
Mersman of the Mersman Bros. Brandts Company. Celina, O. This
company manufactures dining and library tables, dining room
suites. Mr. Mersman w^as very hopeful for the road business in
August, but found the buyers in no general buying mood. He said
they were taking very little stuff because they seem to believe that
prices of furniture are in for further recessions. Mr. Mersman
shares this opinion and said that in spite of the desire of the furni-
ture manufacturers to pay their workers a better wage than they
received prior to the war or in 1914, he believes the demand for
cheaper furniture will force wages back to 1914 levels.
These expressions are by no means all that have been secured
from manufacturers selling in the July market in Chicago, but they
will serve to show the trend of conditions. Where one concern is
found that did only a poor business another is discovered that has
booked a good volume. And on the average, as said at the be-
ginning of this article, a fair volume of business has been booked.
Though buyers may have done a great deal of looking and taken
a great deal of memoranda, at the same time they placed orders
to fill their needs. Their attitude was entirely different from that
of January when they hardly wanted to buy at any price and were
on a "strike." Since that time they have traveled far along the
road of "liquidation" and are compelled to buy a certain amount
of merchandise to fill up their greatly depleted stocks.
There is no doubt that the July market resulted in further
real progress out of depression toward normalcy. There is a long
way yet to go before the demand for furniture assumes a satis-
factory volume but demand now^ is so much larger than in January
the evidence of improvement can not be denied.
The registration of buyers showed 3,300 at the middle of the
week ending July 24. It is considered very likely that before the
close of the market this will come very near to the 4.000 registered
last January.
Evansville Does Well at Chicago
The furniture manufacturers of Evansville, Ind., who attended the
furniture market at Chicago in July returned feeling mighty good
over the situation. The local firms sold a great deal more furniture
at the Chicago July market this time than they did at the January
market. The manufacturers say that where manufacturers showed
a w^illingness to reduce their prices to a reasonable point they got
business and that retailers were not slow to take advantage of the
reductions. Benjamin Bosse, mayor of Evansville and head of the
Clobe-Bosse- World Furniture Company, reported that the com-
panies he represented at the market secured enough orders to keep
their plants in operation for the next three months. He was well
pleased with the volume of business the Evansville manufacturers
did. Mayor Bosse said that practically all the goods that his com-
panies sold were to retailers in the east. He takes this as an in-
dication that the east is reviving rapidly and that it will be but a

TIME was in old Egypt, 3000 years ago, that the big idea
was not bigness merely — but permanence.
Permanence — and perfect finish.
This old picture of a restored fragment tells the story.
In like manner, we think, does the plywood manufac-
tured by this institution of ours here at New Albany tell a
similar story.
Here is a plant built like a battleship, clean-cut at every point,
orderly, trim and efficient to the N'th degree.

Woods That Go Into Veneers
A preliminary comparative report on the quantity of wood con-
sumed in the manufacture of veneers in the United States for 1919
has been issued by the Bureau of the Census, Department of
Commerce.
The report vyas compiled in co-operation vi^ith the Forest Service,
Department of Agriculture, and shows the quantity of wood used
by principal states for the years 1909 and 1919. It covers the
consumption of both domestic and imported woods in the manu-
facture of true veneers, as well as the grades used in the manu-
facture of barrels, baskets, boxes, crates, and "built-up" lumber.
Red gum furnishes about 4 1 per cent of the total quantity used
in 1919, as against 30 per cent in 1909.
The figures for the year 1919 are preliminary and subject to
such changes as may be necessary from further examination of
the reports.

Those High Cost Logs
The veneer industry has before it the problem of working off
and realizing on some logs that cost them more than the present
replacement cost, and ho%v to do this without excessive loss is an
interesting problem. The best answer which suggests itself is that
of making material from the logs bring more by taking more pains
in working them up so as to get them in a higher class in point
of quality and value. When one cuts high priced logs up into
veneer carelessly and indifferently made and handled and must go
out and meet competition in price on this for the cheaper uses it
means a loss in profit. On the other hand, any timber fit to make
veneer is good timber. By considering it as such and by taking
pains in the grinding of knives, the setting and operating of
machines, and in piling and drying veneer, it can be made into
a product worth more than if handled carelessly. This seems to
be the plain way for those who have high cost logs; take more
pains in working them up to get a higher grade veneer, then keep
the veneer so flat, clean and nice that it will bring the price in the
market on its quality. In this way one has a chance for profit
even though the log did come high in price.

An organization com-
plete in all details is a
guarantee of correct
product if properly
operated
The operations of the Wood-Mosaic Com-
pany function with precision because every
step has been part of a well-conceived plan.
The basic thought is a plant for each type of
production. Thus, every foot of Wood-
Mosaic hardwood lumber and veneers in wal-
nut, oak and poplar is produced in a plant
designed especially for the manufacture of
each class of product.
This holds from the logs, which are the care-
ful selection of a trained corps of twenty
timber buyers, through the final operations of
handling the manufactured product, special
equipment having been provided for each
unit of manufacture so that the lumber and
veneer product may be always correctly dried
and further prepared for consumer's use.
We solicit the opportunity of demonstrating
the value to you of such an organization.

"Glues and Their Resistance to Steam"
There is no question under the sun, even that concerning the
shape of the earth, upon which there is complete agreement.
This is why Hardwood Record has always been glad to give a
reasonable amount of space in its columns to the discussion of any
subject of interest to the makers or consumers of hardwood lum-
ber and veneers, about which there is difference of opinion. A
short time ago Hardwood Record carried an article on "Glues
and their Resistance to Steam," which was contributed by the
representative of one of the largest glue companies in the country.
This man is undoubtedly an authority on glues, but his statements
were promptly challenged by members of the Monite Waterproof
Glue Company. This company was as promptly invited to submit
its objections in writing, so that they might be given the same pub-
licity as the statements objected to. The result is the following
letter from W. F. Leicester, vice-president of the Monite Water-
proof Glue Company:
"Hardwood Record,
"537 South Dearborn Street,
"Chicago.
"Gentlemen:
"We feel that the 'authority on glue' who was responsible for
the article in the Veneer and Panel Section of the May issue of
the Hardwood Record, dealing with GLUES AND THEIR RE-
SISTANCE TO STEAM, is far from familiar with his subject, and
his article will serve to create a wrong impression with people to
whom waterproof glue is still new, while the many approving
users of casein glue will be surprised that such misleading state-
ments should receive space in this publication.
"Perusing your advertising, we note the following firms, all of
which to our sure knowledge use one or another make of casein
waterproof glue at the present time:
"Anderson-Tully Co.
"Louisville Veneer Mills.
"Hanson Ward Veneer Co.
"Breece Mfg. Co.
"Wood Mosaic Co.
"The Mengel Co.
"St. Louis Basket and Box Co.
"It seems to us that the article complained of is an injustice
to reputable manufacturers of casein glue and the companies above
mentioned.
"The facts relative to casein glue are that the ready mixed
glues sold by American manufacturers enjoy a sale running into
many millions of pounds annually in the United States; and large
quantities are sold for export purposes. It is a significant fact that
casein has been used as an adhesive since the days of the Egyp-
tians, and its use has been verified and traced through the ages,
down to modern times. For the past 50 years casein glues have
been largely used in Germany and Switzerland, but the commercial
manufacture thereof was only started in the United States in
1916. The glue was developed and refined here under the stress
of war necessity, and it is to be noted that casein glue, as developed
in the United States, is today the form of waterproof adhesive
that is the standard of the world, and foreign plywood manufac-
turers are now using U. S. manufactured casein glue to the ex-
clusion of practically all other forms and makes of waterproof
adhesives.
"The truth of modern casein glue is that its characteristics make
it the most practical glue for every woodworking use. It is
readily prepared without heat; there is no admixture of chemicals
required from the user; it spreads readily with brush or spreader;
special and costly apparatus is not required; it sets in three or
four hours, and can be machined in twelve hours; the stock does
not require heating and glue rooms can be as cool as desired; it
has no disagreeable odor.
"The statement that the life of a silicate of soda glue joint is
short, gives a m.ost erroneous impression to one who is unfamiliar
with modern casein glues. Silicate of soda cannot be considered
as an adhesive for wood-working use. It is a filler, a cheapener,
and has been used in conjunction with many glues by manufac-
turers who put cost before quality. It should be clearly understood
by every user and prospective user of casein waterproof glue that
no reputable glue manufacturer incorporates silicate of soda w^ith
casein jiluc; to do so is Nj court disaster. The manufacturer of
casein glue naturally does not inform the public as to the details
of his formulae; it is sufficient to say that the manufacturer who
looks to the future is more interested in producing an absolutely
per lanent product, than in cheapening his product, with a view
to competing with cheap ron-waterproof vegetable glues.
"The answer to your correspondent's inquiry: "Can you tell
us what glue will resist the action of steam" is as follows:
"The United States Governnrient Air Service and Navy have
establishf^d definite standards for glue; they are:
Block Shear Strength 2200tb per-sq. inch
Plywood: Air Dry, before or after testing by boiling
2501b per sq. inch
Plyw^ood; tested in a wet condition, after boiling 3 hours
90 tb per sq. inch
"Large quantities of glue are used by these Government De-
partments, and it is bought against sample, which must stand
the above tests. The glue which is being purchased by the Govern-
ment today is a casein waterproof glue, manufactured by an
American company, and of course the Government test figures
quoted above are exceeded by this glue. As a matter of fact,
it is a simple matter to build panels with casein waterproof glue
that will stand practically any water test. The writer has built
5 ply birch panels and immersed them in water for ten days, the
water has boiled for twelve hours daily, and cooled off at night;
yet at the end of the test the glue points w^ere unimpaired.
"The manufacturer of built up stock who wants to make water-
proof panels that he can guarantee should pay some attention to
the wood that they are built of. It is not wise to use gum, pine
or fir, or any wood that has a large expansion or contraction in
the presence of moisture or heat. Birch, beech or maple, or some
wood that has a minimum of movement should be used. Then if a
really good make of waterproof casein glue is used, preferably one
that the manufacturer guarantees to be up to Government speci-
fications, there need be no fear of the effect of steam, w^ater or
heat on the glue joint.
It is not necessary to use blood albumen glue to get a water-
proof joint. If it was, there would be little waterproof work pro-
duced, because few concerns can afford to install ten thousand
dollar hot presses such as are required with blood albumen. Fur-
ther, the question of odor of the joint arises, when exposed to
moisture.
' The various fantastic linseed oil and formaldehyde formulae
mentioned, belong to past decades, and are today nowhere used
for waterproofing glue joints. They are impractical, expensive,
and largely kill the adhesive strength of the glue.
"To correct any misunderstanding. let it be understood that
the use of casein waterproof glue is increasing rapidly. There
are many responsible and influential manufacturers of woodwork
that have used this glue for upwards of three years; thus the life
of the joint is proved, and the permanence of glued work estab-
lished. Another point worthy of note is that there is no unfair
monopoly in the manufacture of casein glue. There are no un-
expired basic patents, upon the strength of which any one make
of glue is forced upon the would-be user.
"Very truly yours.
■WFL.F (Signed) "W. F. Leicester.

WHAT does it mean to you as a buyer to
have implicit confidence in the source of
your most important raw material supply?
For instance, all informed buyers recognize
the true superiority of northern grown hard-
wood lumber and veneers— the product in
which we specialize. Big customers stay on
our books for years because it is easy for
them to determine that we never have cut
anything but the genuine northern grown logs
In oak, walnut, maple, ash and other major
species. The same sincerity maintains with
our rotary cut poplar offering. And withal is
that correctness of manufacture and honesty

THE PAST AND PRESENT IN MAHOGANY
The Timbers of the World
The cementing of the bonds of union between England
and America, the two great English-speaking peoples,
becomes easier of accomplishment the more knowledge
each possesses of the way of life and working conditions
of the other. Still more is this felt when the members
of an important industry such as that of lumbering each
becomes mutually interested in the standpoint of the
other on this particular matter. So this book on the
commercial timbers of the world by an acknowledged
English authority on the subject, which includes notes on
some forty of the chief woods of North America has a
definite interest for the American lumberman. Mr.
Howard has here brought to bear the experience of over
forty years' work in timber and his first-hand reports bear
the imprint of authority.
in his notes on American oak he states that it constitutes
more than five-eighths of the whole supplies of oak for
the United Kingdom from abroad and says that this
remarkable result is not due to its superiority over other
supplies so much as to the enterprise and energy of the
American merchant in providing it in a suitable manner
and at a moderate price, while its transport is facilitated
by advantageous railway and steamer freights. In dis-
cussing the difficulties of specifications he suggests, with
a view to solving the conflicting problems of architects and
timber merchants, that timber should be classified in some
such manner as that adopted by the National Hardwood
Lumber Association of America, v^hich he considers
would enable those concerned to protect their different
interests.
On the other hand the author complains with justice
that with most of the American timbers there is always a
difficulty in obtaining reliable supplies on account of the
fact that these always consist of several botanical species
mixed indiscriminately. Supplies of American elm, for
instance, may consist of the fine hard white rock elm or,
through less white and less hard transitional types, to the
soft swamp elm which is little wanted in England. This
practice he mentions with regard to American ash, oak,
elm, basswood and hickory amongst others.
American lumbermen might here perhaps be guided
by the practice of the Government of India in its export of
Indian timbers to Europe, for every log in each consign-
ment is clearly marked so that the botanical species is at
once apparent. The many excellent timbers of these
Indian supplies, which are becoming increasingly impor-
tant, are fully dealt with by Mr. Howard, who gives
perhaps the first authentic reports upon them apart from
the official publications of the Indian Forest Service.

Lining Up Your Roll Feed Sander
Every sander man has his own method of lining up
his sander, consequently there are many different methods
in use. The following has been employed by an old-
timer for years, and is claimed to be a quick and sure
method of securing the desired results.
First add an extra straight-edge to your usual equipment
of one long straight-edge. The time this will save will soon
pay for the small extra cost, as when two straight-edges
are used, the entire line-up can be made without changing
the original position of these tools, thus saving the great
amount of time and accuracy lost in constantly shifting
one straight-edge from side to side.
Now go about your lining-up in the following order —
bed plates, drums, bottom feed rolls, top feed rolls and
pleasure rolls. If machine is set up level, lining-up bed
plates should never be necessary. However, if holding
screws have worked loose, lower drums below bed level,
and lay each straight-edge lengthwise with the bed, edge
up, two or three inches from ends of plates, placing cards
between each bed plate and straight-edge. Adjust each
plate from alternate sides until the cards are all held
equally tight. Then draw the screws up and test the
cards again to make sure of the tightening. See that it
has not drawn one end of any plate higher than the other.
Next, pull out cards without changing position of
straight-edges. Loosen the two set-screws in the stud
of each drum box, and turn the screw that the studs rest
on until each end of the drum felt firmly touches the
straight-edge. Draw up the set-screws all around, and
your drums are in line. It is better to make line-up with
felt rather than with sandpaper, because the paper might
be a little loose.
Now insert the eight cards as before. Loosen feed
roll wedge screws and turn adjusting screws to the right
to raise feed rolls level with the straight-edges. Tighten
wedge-screws to lock adjustment. Feed roils are now
lined up with drums and plates at a level with the thick-
ness of the cards above them, which is their correct feed-
ing level.
You are now ready for the upper adjustments. Go
about these exactly as on the lower, only placing cards
above instead of below straight-edges, and tvk'o cards
under the pressure rolls, so that when the top is lowered
both feed and pressure rolls will touch the cards. Then
line up first the feed and then the pressure rolls, exactly
as you have the lower adjustments. Put paper and drum
belts on and run your machine free for a few minutes to
be sure everything is in good shape.
Now make final adjustments according to the stock to
be run, lowering drums to level of cuts, as they probably
will be too high, having been leveled with the felt.
If, after years of use, correct adjustments do not stick,
do not forget that you can take up thread or bearing wear
by means of take-up collars provided, or by substituting
thinner oil felt in the split boxes.

Half of Mahogany Imports Come from Central
America
"The relative importance of Central American mahogany in
the world supply of this wood is indicated by statistics showing
that it constitutes approximately one-half of all the mahogany
imported into the United States," says a circular on "Lumber Mar-
kets in Central America," prepared by the Latin American Divi-
sion of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. The cir-
cular continues: "The quantity and value of the imports of this
commodity from Central America in the last three calendar years
and the percentage going to the United States, appear in the fol-
lowing table;

1920 26,534 3,001,279 50
The circular also makes a statement relative to varieties of
hardwoods in Central America: "Mahogany is only one of numer-
ous varieties of hardwoods found in Central America. Samples
20 of these woods are in the collection of the Pan American Union
in Washington, and from these samples the following list of names
and descriptions has been compiled:
Species Description
Balsam wood Light red color, with narrow stripes.
Black heart Pale yellow with deep brown stripe.
Cedar Light red.
Diablo muerte Dull brown.
Ebony Black.
Fumara Brown, grained.
Granadillo Dark reddish brown.
Cranuda Yellow with dark brown markings.
Cuachipilin Light red and yellow.
Cuayacan or iron wood Black and yellow.
Logwood Dark reddish brown.
Madre cacao Medium red.
Mahogany Red, varying in color and grain ac-
cording to soil, elevation, and cli-
matic conditions.
Matazanillo Yellow.
Palete Medium brown.
Pimentilla Tan with reddish brown stripe.
Pimienta Yellow with red stripe.
Quebracho (break-hatchet) . . Medium brown, striped.
Ron-ron Dark red mottled with black.
Royal palm Light brown with streaks of dark
brown.
"The soil and climate in British Honduras favor the rapid growth
of mahogany, but the wood is lighter in weight and color than that
grown on high ground in dry regions. The annual rings of growth
are often lacking in the trees of British Honduras, but the species
is straight grained, free from knots, and well adapted to inside con-
struction work.
**Costa Rica has many varieties of timber that furnish material
for most of the local building and furniture. The native cabinet-
makers are skilled in their use of mahogany and cedar. Exports
of hardwoods constitute one of the most important items of trade,
but this industry has been limited by the inaccessibility of many
of the forests. Quantities of mahogany grow near the San Carlos
River, whose natural outlet is on the Atlantic side, where shipment
has proved difficult. Shippers in Puntarenas collect their logs
from small producers, who cut and haul a few trees to market from
time to time.
"In 1 920 concessions covering large areas of public timberland
were granted individual citizens of Costa Rica, with the privilege
of cutting timber at a fixed price per tree. Regulations were pub-
lished specifying that for every mature tree cut, two saplings of the
same kind "were to be planted, to prevent the depletion of the for-
ests. These concessions were not granted to foreigners, but there
appeared to be no restriction on the grantee disposing of his con-
cession to a foreigner, and, in fact, American capital will operate
a number of these concessions. One serious drawback in the view
of the capitalists is the restriction of the grants to five years, which
does not justify extensive preparation for operation on a large
scale.
The principal hardwoods of Guatemala are mahogany, cedar
and two species known as marillo and cericero: many other varie-
ties exist in small quantities in more or less inaccessible places.
The Peten section of the country, where most of the fine woods
are located, is largely unexplored and lacking in transportation
facilities.
J. E. Hamacheck. Sr., of Two Rivers. Wis., widely known as an
inventor of woodworking and other special machinery, has com-
pleted working models of a new machine designed for routing and
carving. It is so built that it will rout or carve duplicate pieces
in one operation and has high speed, being equipped with an elec-
tric motor of 20,000 r. p. m. There is provision both for hand
and power feed. The machine is capable of cutting or carving
the most intricate designs of straight or irregular shape and may
also be used for grooving and carving, as in furniture and chair
factories. Mr. Hamacheck intends to dispose of the shop rights
on a royalty basis, retaining ownership of the patents.
New Million Dollar Piano Plant
Pictured here is the $1,000,000 plant of the Baldwin and Elling-
ton Piano Company, Cincinnati, O., ■which has just been completed
and will be dedicated in the fall. That section of the plant right
of the tower will be occupied by the Ellington Company and to the
left by the Baldwin Piano Company. The main Ellington works
are in the rear of the new plant, which faces the entrance to Eden
Park. The plant is being equipped with all modern machinery and
will be in operation by August 1. Lockwood and Greene, engineers
of Chicago, designed the building, while the construction work was
done by the Ferro Concrete Construction Company of Cincinnati.
Shipping facilities are excellent, as the main line of the Cincinnati.
Lebanon and Northern Railroad passes between the main Ellington
works and the new plant.

question of time until the situation in the east will be reflected in
the west and central west. "Yes, things are looking better for us,"
said Mayor Bosse upon his return from the Chicago market.
"Things are going to get better right along now and in my opinion
the manufacturer who shows a willingness to take his share of the
reconstruction burden is going to get the business. The manufact-
urers must stand their share as well as everybody else."
Pay envelopes of the furniture workers in Evansville were some-
what lighter a week or so ago when the cut of wages went into
effect. Practically all the furniture, chair, desk and table manu-
facturers announced a cut to the men, the cut being an average of
about 5 cents on the hour. The furniture workers accepted the
cut without a complaint as they are glad to be able to keep the
plants running at this time and would rather be working at a few
cents less on the day than to remain idle, the men say. The local
factories continue to operate on part time in most instances, some
of the plants operating almost full time. The situation is getting
a whole lot better, as stated in a letter in the Hardwood Record
two weeks ago and manufacturers believe that it will be only a
question of time until trade is something like normal again although
they do not expect this thing to come all at once. Oscar A. Klamer,
who is head of four of large furniture factories in Evansville, says
that furniture has hit rock bottom prices and that people are start-
ing to buy again. "People have started to buy furniture again"
is the way Mr. Klamer expressed it the other day. "They are
beginning to realize that furniture can go no lower and that the
only revision in price will be upward. The general buying move-
ment has not started, but here and there, we who have learned to
interpret conditions, see the signs that point to renewed prosperity.
Rush orders now come in from various localities.
Henning Will Give Whole Time to Glue Work
It will be of interest to the panel and veneer consuming trade
to learn that Sherburn IVI. Henning, manager of the panel depart-
ment of the Anderson-Tully Company, Memphis, Tenn., has re-
signed in order to be free to devote his entire time to the installa-
tion of water-resistant casein glues in panel and furniture factories.
Mr. Henning is widely known in the hardwood industry, especially
among panel users.
When this country entered the war, Mr. Henning was chemist
for the Northern Pacific railroad. He volunteered his services to
the Bureau of Aircraft Production and was thereupon transferred
to the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wis. He w^as the
first chemist to engage in research on the developing of water-
proof glues for airplane panels. In this work he was highly suc-
cessful and developed satisfactory water-proof glues both from
blood albumen and casein. He also is the originator of the dry
gluing process whereby three-ply panels can be made from veneer
as thin as one-hundredth of an inch without employing a glue
spreader or brush. This is regarded as a notable achievement, for
it has been found impossible before, with the old wet glue process,
to make a three-ply panel much thinner than three twenty-eighths of
an inch. The panels made by this process were three one-
hundredths of an inch in thickness, were water-proof and w^ere
employed as substitutes for linen as airplane wing material.
Since the war, Mr. Henning has been actively engaged in the
manufacture of w^ater resistant panels, both with the Wisconsin
Veneer Company of Rhinelander, Wis., and the Anderson-Tully
Company of Memphis. His experience has been extremely varied
and covers fancy woods as well as northern and southern hard-
woods. In the past two and a half years he has supervised the
manufacture of millions of square feet of northern and southern
hardw^ood panels, using casein glue exclusively and w^ith complete
success.
Mr. Henning has now become associated with the Peter Cooper
Glue organization of Gowanda, N. Y., to manufacture casein water-
resistant glues of high quality and low cost in powder form, so that
the furniture and panel industries can avail themselves of his vast
experience in the use of high grade cold w^ater adhesives. It is
said that Mr. Henning plans to devote his entire time to the actual
installation of these glues in the plants and educating manufac-
turers in its use. His technical services will be available to all
users of these glues.
Mr. Henning is probably the foremost authority in this country
on water-proof adhesives and it is believed that his future efforts
will result in increased quality in the products of the American
plywood industry.
Mr. Henning is a native of Milwaukee and a graduate of the
University of Wisconsin.

to the change in the credit situation, which, they maintain, has tjiken

COLUMBUS
A slight improvement in the hardwood trade is reported in central Ohio
territory. Uuying on the part of retailers is showing some increase. In
addition factories are also showing a disposition to enter the market.
Retail stocks are only fair and in some instances rather broken. Dealers
are placing orders to replace these stocks, but are not buying for the
future to any extent. Building operations are still rather active, although
the dullness usual during July ami August has arrived.
Factories making furniture are lietti'r customers. This is especially
true of the factories located in the south, from which some rather large
orders have been secured. Implement concerns are also showing a ten-
dency to bu.v. Box factories are placing onlers for low grade stocks.
Oil the whole, there is a decided improvement among factories and a
more optimistic tone has developcil.
The higher grades of oak, poplar and chestnut are still rather scarce.
This has the effect of switching the demand to the medium and lower
grades, rroduction in all sections is still curtailed and this is expected
to aid in stabilizing the market. Prices are not showing as wide a range
as formerly. The extreme low (piotatioiis resulting largely from distress
lumber are not now so common.
CINCINNATI
There is less price cutting in tlie hardwood market than heretofore.
While business is not what it should be for this time of the year, lumber-
men are not complaining, because they believe they are getting their share
of the business. Demand is fair, with the tiooring trade the bright feature
in the market. Another feature is the increased volume of inquiries during
the past two weeks, which indicates that a buying movement is going to
start shortly. What business is lieing done at this particular time is at
a satisfactory price. Automobile manufacturers have l)een buying small
quantities of gum, ash and hickory and are apparently satisfied to "rock
along" with no thought of the future. Railroads are considered a poor
asset to the market, although several inquiries have been received from
them which may later develop into liusiness. The musical instrument and
piano trade is slow in coming into the market and the same can be said
of the furniture manufacturers. Many concerns are buying lower grades
of hardwoods and using them in substitution of other woods. Most manu-
facturers are taking a hopeful view of the situation and are looking for a
near improvement in trade conditions along about the first of September.
General trade conditions in this section are a whole lot better than they
were at the first of the .year and collections have held their own very well.
INDIANAPOLIS
Little change is to be noted in the Iiardwooil markets. The demand
from the industries continues slow and distributcu's here believe what
relief comes will (;onie from the furniture ami piano trades, both of which
arc reported here to have been receiving some orders. The Indianapolis
furniture plants, with one or two exceptions, have not shown a disp<isi-
tion to increasi' production greatly, but there has been some increase noted
in the plants at Shidliyville, Ind.. just south of this city. What di'mand
is coming is from the retailers, who are doing a wonderful t>usiness in
interior trims and floorings. Veneer men say business is quiet and they
believe it will lie fall hefore there is any appreciable increase with them.
EVANSVILLE
The liardwood lumber Tuanul'acturers of Evansville say that there has
been some little improvement in trade during the past two weeks, although
the increase in business has been nothing to brag about. Some orders
have come in and inquiries have been fairly ninnerous. fleneral trade con-
ditions are better than they were two or three montlis ago and collections
are holding their own. very well. The manufacturers say that if they

trade. The retail lumber trade has been a little sluggish, but it was
expected that it would show no Improvement during the months of July
and August, these months being considered dull. Ilardwood mills in this
section are not being operated as a general rule, although the manufac-
turers in some instances have been buying liberal supplies of logs during
the pa.st months, anticipating a rush in trade later on. The various wood-
working concerns are being run on an average of nearly fifty hours a week
and there are fewer unemployed men in the city now than there were at
the first of the year.
MEMPHIS
The hardwood market is rather less active than even a fortnight ago,
for the reason that flooring manufacturers and manufacturers of interior
trim are not buying as freely as a short time ago, and tor the additional
reason that other consuming interests have not appreciably increased their
buying. It is admitted that volume of business is decreasing instead of
increasing, and it is generally conceded that there is little on which to
base expectation of improvement in the situation during the next several
weeks.
One of the features at the moment is the relatively large number of
orders for "mixed" cars. Several members of the trade comment on the
fact that mixed cars are in quite steady demand, and they accept this as
indicating that consuming interests are running pretty low on stocks and
still are without suflicient faith in the market to buy beyond their more
immediate requirements.
Owing to the decrease in demand, the tone of the market is somewhat
easier on Nos. 1, 2 and 3 common, with particular reference to the last
two grades. There is notable steadiness in firsts and seconds, taking the
list as a whole, for the reason that stocks are so light, relatively, that
nobody is anxious enough to sell to make them willing to shade their
quotations. There is likewise quite a scarcity of plain red and white
oak in No. 1 ctimmon, as well as in red gum in the same grade, and this
an^ouuts ftir the fact that No. 1 common, generally speaking, is displaying
a better tone than Nos. 2 and 3.
Some encouragement is being extracted from the fact that reports from
the furniture shows indicate a larger business with furniture manufac-
turers within the next few weeks. But it is admitted that these inter-
ests are buying comparatively little lumber at the moment. It is also sug-
gested that decision of the government to pay the railroads approximately
$500,000,000 may also prove of decided stimulus to hardwood demand
within the next few weeks. There is an inquiry among members of the
trade here for 5,000,000 crossties from a foreign source. Nothing has
developed from this inquiry thus far, but it is pointed out that it is indi-
cative of the needs of foreign interests and may be the forerunner of
more active buying from European sources. It may also be noted that
there is a slight increase in exports of southern hardwoods to Europe,
where the situation is pronounced better from a commercial, financial and
industrial standpoint.
The veneer market, as a whole, is rather quiet, but some manufacturers
are fillinj; orders from makers of battery boxes, cypress being used prac-
tically altogether. Negotiations are under way, too. with manufacturers
of bread baskets for plain sawn oak veneers. Tliese interests have been
buying their lumber anil cutting their own veneers, but they are figuring
now that they can eliminate waste and save themselves some money by
cutting down transportation costs. There are several million feet of
veneers in negotiation at the moment.
It is impossible to find any change of attitude on the part of producers
regarding logging and manufacturing opera.tions. The vast majority are
remaining idle, pending further developments in the general situation,
with particular reference to demand for lumber and transportation costs.
The railroad men have discounted everything the lumbermen have said
regarding their inability to operate successfully on the basis of existing
freight rates on logs to their mills and on lumber to consuming destina-
tions, but it is perhaps not overstating the case to say that present high
freight rates are far more responsible for slack logging and manufacturing
operations in the hardwood field than all other factors combined.
As giving an idea of the shrinkage in logging operations, it may be
noted that the Valley Log Loading Company loaded only 102 cars during
the entire month of June, and that it has not loaded a single log thus far
in July. It estimated that it will load forty to fifty cars during the
remainder of this month. Ordinarily this company loads about 2.000 cars
each during the months of June and July.
LOUISVILLE
Business with the Louisville hardwood trade is qui,-i, l>ut inquiries are
better, and it is with nuicli satisfaction that the trade has secured reports,
indicating that the furniture shows this year have been very successful,
which indicates some good business shortly. So far there has been no
material increase in sales as a result of the furniture movement, but it is
noticeable that sales of walnut and mahogany are improving, while gum
is more active, and poplar is holding it.s own. Quartered and plain oak
are moving fairly well as a whole. Ash is slow. The hardwood trade
reports that as a whole the demand all season has bt-en principally from
the furniture trade, as the cabinet trade overproduced last year, and the
musical instrument peo|de are buying slowly. The wagon and implement
trade is at a standstill .iust now, and the auto trade is slow. Hardwood

flooring is moving nicely, and it is reiiorted that most ol^ the flooring mills
arc finding business good. ■SV'liilc no really large business is in sight whicli
warrants reopening large mills and starting heavy production, it is noted
that prices are firmer as a result of cheap stock being slowly cleaned up
and present stoclts are held in stronger hands. High grades are getting
a bit scarce and firsts and seconds are expected to command better prices
before lon^.
Although there have been no heavy export orders out In this district
for some time there are several of the local jobbers and producers who
have managed to jdck up a lew orders for export, some of these being only
one or two car orders, but showing conclusively tliat a little foreign busi-
ness Is beginning to develop.
ST. LOUIS
The market has shown very little change in the past two weeks. Things
are still very dull and there are no indications of better conditions at
Iiresent. The railroads are not buying and the automobile manufacturers
here are doing nothing. There have been a great many rumors to the
effect that furniture manufacturers arc buying more liberally, but nothing
definite.
^'EW ORLEANS
With practically no inquiries for export with the exception of crossties
and with little demand being made by the flooring, automobile and furni-
ture people in the United States, the hardwood market for the Texas-
Louisiaua-Mississippi territory is slumping along at about the same snail's
pace that has characterized its activities for the past month or more.
On the score of prices, there has been some slight change, especially
on the lower grades. It was firmly believed by har<lwood men in the tri-
state territory that prices had absolutely reached rock bottom several
months ago, but they were in for a disappointment, for the lower grades
of hardwood have shown some considerable declines within the past fort-
night in this section.
"Only two cars in the past two weeks and stocks moving below legiti-
mate competition," is the statement of a certain leading New Orleans
manufacturer. Some red oak is moving out to the millwork people and
some red gum is being taken by the fui-niture manufactories. About the
only other hardwood items showing anything like considerable activity
just now are the upper grades of white oak. There seems to be scarcely
any demand for No. 2 common, either oak or gum, and it is principally on
Nos. 1 and 2 common pt both oak and gum that prices have again hit the
down grade.
MILWAUKEE
Opinion in the hardwood industry and trade is somewhat divided on the
question of the condition of business. Some interests say there has been
perceptible improvement in the last two or four weeks, while others
express some disappointment over the slowness with which the industry
is progressing. As a general average, however, it would appear that condi-
tions are better now than at the same time in the first half of 1921, with
prospects considerably better than they were then.
Production of hardwoods in the North is proceeding along a fair pro-
duction schedule, most mills being in operation, although generally with
day shifts only, whereas a year and two years ago night as well as day
operations were the rule. Manufacturers seem to have not much difliculty
in disposing of all of the best quality lumber and stocks they are able to
produce, but the lower grades move very slowly and have been accumu-
lating to sudi an extent that operations have been curtailed. With only
top grades salable at a fair margin over cost, and other grades a drug on
the market, there has been no reason why output should be kept at a pace
commensurate with the movement of the choicer qualities, allowing the
bulk of output to pile up in yards.
TORONTO
With the lumbermen drawing on their summer cut now for their No. 1
and 2 jrrades and with the first and second grades in the old cut prac-
tically all usod up, the situation in the hardwood trade is none too satis-
factory. There is practically no demand for the low grades, but there is a
fair inquiry for the high grades of hardwood. None of the lumbermen is
making any money at the present time and, according to the statement of
one of the leading firms in Toronto, most of them are losing. It is claimed
that they are not getting cost and in the case of the smaller dealers they
are throwing their stocks on the market in order to get money to carry
on. This is going to mean that many of the smaller dealers and manufac-
turers are going to be eliminated. As far as the prospects for next year's
cut is concerned, the general opinion is that there will be none, the con-
tention being that it is better to let the business go than to operate below
cost. Manufacturers and wholesalers have apparently got to a point now
where thoy have to have money and to most of them finished cost and
prices mean nothing. According to the statement of one leading Toronto
hardwood wholesaler, if anything of a demand were to develop now there
would be something approaching a "famine" market, for at present there
is no stock on hand to meet even a normal di'mand. Local dealers are
looking for an early resumption of export business, now that the coal
strike in England is settled and business conditions in the United States
show signs of steadying. Inquiries are already beginning to come in as a
result of the improved situation in the two countries mentioned.

LARGE HARDWOOD TIMBER TRACT
"THE BEST QUALITY. LARGEST BODY
AND FINEST TRACT OF HARD-
WOOD TIMBER LAND IN THE
UNITED STATES TODAY."
This, in brief, is the opinion of one of the
foremost lumbermen in the country who has
been over and examined the property. Located
in one of the Southern-eastern States, very
convenient to transportation and the markets,
containing in excess of 80.000 acres and cruis-
ing approximately 850,000,000 feet of the highest
grades of Hardwood timber. Trees on this
property from five to eight feet in diameter are
common and the quality is excellent. There is
also some equipment, mill, bunk houses, etc.,
etc., which are included with the sale. Amount
originally invested in this tract was in excess
of $3,500,000 and it has been carried on the
books of the company at $8,000,000. It can now
be purchased for less than two-thirds of the
original investment and is probably the last
opportunity to secure a fine hardwood tract
east of the Mississippi River and greatly under-
priced.
Particulars will be given to interested pros-
pective purchasers only. Cruise maps and pic-
tures are available. Address all inquiries to
CARL R. HARRISON.

Many hardwood items are today selling far below cost.
Such lines are admittedly good property and many expe-
rienced buyers are already protecting their futures. Mar-
inette offers a splendid gateway for investigation of the
most important region of northern hardwood lumbering
and the stocks at Sawyer-Goodman mills make it possibh
to quickly fill any present or future requirement with the.
utmost satisfaction. Two generations of successful manu-
facture behind every foot of our production. "

any other lumber center in the
country. Why? The alluvial
delta of the Mississippi river is famous as
the richest land in the world. The best
hardwoods grow on the best soil. The sale
of all this hardwood, the finest in the coun-
try, centers in or through Memphis. All
Southern species of satisfactory quality and
variety are available. Oak, gum, ash,
hickory, iiottonwood, cypress, willow, tupelo,
red cedar: Memphis is the department
store of the hardwood industry — first in
quality, first in service. Let her serve you.

General Market Conditions
FKW GENKRAL FACTS liavo lent more encouragement than re-
ports from banking eirclos. Just as inflation was primarily
responsible for the break in jirosperity, its opposite liquidation can
be accepted as the foundation for permanent rebuilding. Easier
money can today be the result (mly of liquidation of a geueral
character and as gradually receding rates have marked money move-
ments of late one conclusion of deep significance is natural, viz.,
there is more available money because stocks of goods and mate-
rials have been liquidated. It matters not now how such results
were brought about. The travail which marked the accomplish-
ment is now for the most part history. True, its results are not
entirely discounted, but the realization of the necessity and the
performance of required action have now been written into the
past of most business lives and the long climb back on the safe
Toad is ahead. This, as stated before, is revealed on the gauge
•of money rates. Cotton prices, metal prices, lumber prices receded
only when supply exceeded demand. With long stocks and such
restricted call for merchandise, much money was required. To
make it go farther the banks liemanded liquidation no matter
Tiow it might hurt. Such selling of high cost goods has been the
cause of rapid falling in prices. But the money has been adding
up and today total results of distress sales have reached a figure
justifying a readjustment of relation between supply and demand
in the money market. Lower rates are the result and their deepest
significance is in the fact that lower money is the last of the
major influences anticijjatod.
This statement is not intended as a promise of early prosperity.
On the other hand, it is given as bearing out Hardwood Record's
contention that favorable indications are multiplying and that the
trend of the future will be for the better. The troubles of business
are by no means over, as returning business must of necessity be
slow and the burden of carrying on under the pressure of nil
markets is excessive. Quite likely the next few months will see
more weeding out and a more complete exposition of the survival
of the fittest than the period that has passed. It is the last laj) of
the race, the gruelling home stretch that tries the nerves of the
audience and eliminates those who have been too much weakened
by the cruel pace of the last year and a half. For markets cannot
return towards a profitable plane until buyers have difficulty in
getting what they need. Such difficulty will result from a natural
ishortage plus a firm adherence to fair quotations by sellers who
know the value of what they offer. This sticking to price is pos-
sible only for those who can finance such a policy.
It might well be declared in this conjunction that the time ap-
parently has come for adherence to values. Indeed, the accumu-
lation of small movements has been sufficient to have caused some
such natural tendency, and while nothing that can truthfully be
described as improvement is manifest, the state of change is char-
acterized by this inclination to get a fair return. As in the past
the business placed is still in small volume so far as the individual
order is concerned, but with a volume in toto that represents good
proportions. Having been accustomed so long to big business, there
has been too much tendency to discount the importance of small
shipments and, in fact, of the small trade in general. It is true that
the flooring business has been one of the bright spots of lumber
movement. Most of this flooring is going into small jobs. So all
through the avenues of demand. Today there are many mixed car
orders and the usual inquiry is for price and possible shipping date.
Then, too, we are today in the midst of what is invariably a dull
season and betterment in the fall is natural.
The general economic situation is most encouraging, a condition
which is bound to be favorably reflected in the hardwood market.
The winter wheat crop has been made and surpasses pre-war normal
volume. The marketing of this cro]) is already well on the way at
prices, which, while low, are better than pre-war prices. This means a
substantial restoration of the farmer's buying power, for the crop was
produced much more cheaply than the crops of the inflation period.
Wheat farmers made their crop with hands costing around J.S a day
and keep ,as compared to $8, $10 and $12 for the two previous years.
European wheat crops are good but there has been no surplus pro-
duction and there is no indication that Australia and Argentina will
produce any more wheat than they did last year. Rus'sia is hopelessly
out of the market as a wheat exporter is buying wheat from India
and will probably take large quantities from America if Hoover's
Russian relief plan goes through. It is predicted that Roumania will
have no wheat to export. Thus there is no world suryilus of wheat,
though America 's crop is good. In short, the economic thcrnioineter
registers favorably to America.
There is promise, too, that the corn crop will be the biggest this
country has ever produced.
The cotton crop is short and will command better prices than the
last crop. In curtailing their cotton acreage southern planters turned

to livestock aud divcisificd crops and li;ive enjoyed a good meaauie of
success in this. These two facts promise a substantial degree of
lecovery in the Soiitli.
Payments from European debtors have been heavy in the past thirty
days and there is every indication of Europe's continued approach to
normal conditions. The physical daniaifus of the war have been largely
I'epairi'd, industry and agriculture are ;;etting near to old time produc-
livity, :mi(I the revolutionary spirits subsiding.
Save the Mahogany Industry
Till!'; FOBDNEY TARIFF BIIiL is so worded as to destroy the
m.-ihr.f.any lumbrr and veneer manufacturing industry in tlie
I'uited states witlmul anyone deriving the slightest benefit, ac-
i-ording jo the alarming statenieiil made by J. S. Otis of New-
Orleans. Mr. Otis's statement w.-is an appeal to the press of the
lumber industry for help in securing a change in the wording of
the monaeing paragra|)h on malinsjany. The statement, covers the
case for the mahogany industry jirctty thoroughly and accordingly
will be quoted in full:
"Sinije the time of I he Civil War there has been a high duty
on the importation of mahogany lumber into the United States,
to protciit the large mahogany lumber and veneer manufacturing
industry of our country, so there are today large mahogany lumber
and veneer sawmills, employing thousands of American citizens,
in New Orleans, Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Chicago, Louisville, Ky., San Francisco, Indianapolis,
Raltimore, etc.
■'The Fordney T:n iff Bill is worded so all tariff protection will
be removed by making unmanufactured round mahogany logs |iay
the same duty as manufactured mahogany lumber and veneer, which
lumber and veneer is manufactured in foreign countries with $12
per month labor.
"Further, wdien the American manufacturers go into foreign
markets they will find themselves terribly handicapped in meeting
competition, as they will have paid an enormous duty on the ma-
hogany logs and will have to meet competition of foreign mahogany
lumber and veneer manufacturers, who have paid no duty to any
government and get their labor for $12 per month, against $7.3 to
$100 per month for unskilled labor that the .Vmcricau mahogany
lumber and veneer manufacturer pays.
"From the above it is very clear tlial unless the I'ln-.luev Tariff
Bill is made to read: 'No duty on unnianufactiired round maJiog-
any logs and duty on manufactured mahogany liunber and veneer,'
then the mahogany industry of the United States will be de
stroyed, throwing thousands of men out of employment, and will
result in the losing of millions of dollars of money invested in the
large plants and without benefiting anyone the slightest bit, as
mahogany lumber will still pay duty, so cannot be sold any
cheaper. There is, you know, no mahogany that grows in the
United States.
"Won't the ]U-ess help to save this large industry that tilleil
such a vital part during tlie War, furnishing mahogany propeller
lumber for battle planes, not only for our country, but also, fur-
nishing everything England aud France required in battle plane
mahogany propeller lumber. That is, they manufactured the logs
into lumber for these countries.
"There is certainly enough unemployment now without adding
thousands to it, without benefiting a soul."
The furniture industry should be particularly interested in pro-
tecting the manufacture of mahogany lumber and veneers in this
country. The industry should join with the mahogany manu-
facturers and other members of the lumber industry who may
want to see justice done, in seeing that the Fordney bill is changed
as Mr. Otis suggests.
Repeal of High Freight Cost Reasons Demanded
No 1{.\HHIKK POSSIHI.K Ol' KKMOVAL must be permitted to
stanil ill the way of getting transportation co.sts in this coun-
try,down to i-ock bottom. No industry in the country is suffering
more than the lumber industry from the fact that transportation
charges have resisted liquidation and are now so entirely dispro-
portionate to the general economic condition of the country. For
this reason the demand which the National Implement & Vehicle
Association makes, through its executive committee, for the repeal
of the Adamson Law and abrogation of national agreements, is
worthy of the most active support of the lumber illdust^J^
The plea for repeal of the Adamson Law exjiresses the executive
committee's "firm conviction" that the law should be repealed by-
Congress because of its "manifestly inequitable and discrimina-
tory features, which created and maintains an artificial work day,
during which the amount of Wages paid, is based on hours employed,
regardless of the character and quality of the work performed.
The resolution said further that the law is "fundamentally un-
sound and uneconomical in its effect, besides being a strong con-
tributing factor in the matter of the present high and prohibitive
freight rates, the effects of which are particularly adverse to the
interests of the basic industry of agricvdture and business gen-
erally."
In part the demaiul for abrogation of the labor adju-rment agree-
iiii'uts is as follows:
' • Whereas, all industries, including the basic one of agriculture,
cannot possibly prosjier, unless the credit of the railroads of the
country is both restored aud maintained, aud they be permitted to
pursue the same economical practices which prevail in other in-
dustries, throughout the country, therefore be it
"Resolved, That we deem it imperative that the Railroad Labor
Board promptly abrogate all labor adjustment agreements, involv-
ing the unionization of our great transportation systems, which it
inherited when the Federal Government returned the railroad prop-
erties to their owners, which recommended action we regard as
unquestionably a prerequisite to the obtaining for tlie shippers and
traveling public, of substantial rate reductions, based on real eco-
nomical management, through the instrumentalit}' of the open
shop anil, a consequent reduction in living costs."

Aside from such quostions as price :iihI avMilabilitv uf material.
probably the most correct method of determining whetlier oalc or
some other wood is the proper one to meet certain requirements is
not to rely upon statistical information which may be based on
incorrect usage, but to compare the properties of oak with those of
other woods, considering especially those properties which are
most highly desirable for the given use.
The term ''strength.'' in referring to woo.l. usually conveys the
idea of a summation of the mechanical properties or the ability
of the wood to resist stresses and deformations of various kinds.
These properties are variously combined when one thinks of mate-
rial for a specific use. For a beam or jiost in a building, we com-
bine those properties that are essential to carry a load, or in other

with each use. Tlie four combinations of mechanical properties,
which in most instances will give a good comparison of the different
kinds of woods for various uses, are termed in this report, strength
as a beam or post, hardness, shock-resisting ability, and stiffness.
The method of viimbimng the varimin properties is shown in tabic 'J.
Each 0} the properties, such us hanlncss, stiffness, etc., which arc men-
tioned, is measured liu means tij a eompiisite tUiure. This composite fiyurc
is made up hp eumhininti the several test values lohich arc indioative of
the prupeity. Each of these values is first multiplied bp a reduction factor
in order to reduce or adjust the valiien to approximately the same order of
magnitude, /'or instance, modulus of rupture is used as the base to lOhich
tlui other values an- reduced in dcririiiii the ■■strength as a beam or post"
figure. The uriruge ratio of modulus of rupture to fiber stress at elastie
limit in static bending is for green ntnterial l.SO. Then 1.80 is the reduc-
tion factor c.pplied to fiber stresx at eldjtt c limit in static bending. The
adjusted value resulting from applging similajlg derived factors to each
individual value is then multiplied bp a weighting factor. This weighting
factor represents approximately the relative importance of the value as
well as the relative iwcuraey of the determination of that value and takes
into account the relative number of tests muAlc in obtaining the values.
Results of tests on both green and air-dry material arc used. The results
on green material, because of the greater number of tests, arc given tteiee
as much weight as results on air-dry 7natcrial. The results from tests of
air-dry material are adjusted to TJ per cent moisture before being cwn-
binrd into the ct.mposite figure. The sum of the prttducts of test value by
reduction factor by we ghting factor is dirided hy the .sum of the weighting
factors. The quotient is the composite figure. J his method of eombimiig
individual tests renders the data less valuable for detailed application,
hut more valuable for a general comparison of species when eompostie
figures are available for the different species.
Table 3*was derived by obtaining the L-oiicjiosite figures for
shrinkage in volume from green to oven-dry condition, oven-dry
.specific gravity based on volume when green, strength as a beam or
post, hardness, shock-resisting ability, and stiffness, for the dif-
ferent woods, and then comparing each property of each wood with
the composite figure of the same i)roperty for oak; hence, for these
jiroperties it is a table of relative percentages based on oak as lOU
jicr cent. In addition, the actual weights per cubic foot of green,
air-dried and kiln-dried wood, radial and tangential shrinkage, and
the ratio of the tangential to the radi.'il shrinkage are given.
Considering the properties of oak, it may be stated that they
show considerable variations. This is due to a slight extent to
differences between thi' numerous species, but primarily to differ-

onces within the species, some of which are difficult to account for.
It is important to note, however, that in so far as the oaks are con-
cerned, there is but little difference between the mechanical prop-
erties of the white and r.>.l oak groups; the white oaks average
slightly harder tluui the red oaks, and the red oaks are slightly
stiffer.
Durability
Decay in timber is due to the action of fungi on the wood sub-

stani-e. These funyi are depeiulciit for their rapid develoiJineiit
upon a suitable amount of iiioisturf, a favorable teiiiperature, suffi-
cient air within the wood cells, and a food supply which eaii readily
be utilized. Consequently, the durability of any given species of
wood is bound up closely willi tlicsc factors.
'Die sapwood of practically all species is non-durable when sub-
jected to conditions favoring decay, and under sucli circumstances
sliould not be used unless treated with a preservative'.
It is very difficult to state tlie <>xact life tliat may be expected
of oak, or any other wood, because in individual cases the char-
acter of the wood or the severity of the conditions favoring decay
might cause the life of the wood to vary from the estimate.
Observations by various persons in the course of their practical
experience with the different woods, have resulted, and will prob-
ably continue to result, in conflicling statements on the durability
of the woods. In general, however, there is a more or less definite
relation between woods when they are subjected to the same condi
tions of decay, and this latter statement should be kept in mind
when considering the relative durability of the species stated in
this report.
Untreated white oaks when used for railway ties, under normal
conditions, last on an average seven to nine years. Chestnut oak,
wliich belongs to the white-o;ik group, is a possible exception; its
average life appears to be slightly less than that of. the other white
oaks. The life of tlie white oaks for any other use than ties might
be estimated if the severity of tlie conditions under which the tim-
bers are to be used can be cmnpared with those to which ties are
subjected.
The. red oaks are about one-half as durable as the white-oak
group.
The aspens, yellow buckeye, basswood, willow, Cottonwood, true
tirs, spruces, beech, birches, maples, sycamore, cotton gum, black
gum, hemlocks and loblolly, lodgepole and western j'cllow pines
prob;ii)ly average one-quarter to a little less than the average of
the red-oak group in durability.
The ashes, hickories, yellow poplar, Norway pine, sugar pine,
butternut, white elm, cork elm, slippery elm, red gum and short-
leaf pine may be expected to last on the average from nearly one-
lialf to three-quarters as long as white oak.
Western larch, tamarack, the white pines, Cuban pine, longleaf
pine, honey locust, southern white cedar and Douglas fir might be
expected to have an average life from almost three-quarters to
approximately the average tor the white oaks. Chestnut and black
walnut will possibly average a little more durable than the white
oaks.
Bald cypress, redwood and the incense. Port Orford, western red
and northern white cedars probably have, on the average, between
one and one-quarter and one and three-quarters the life of the
white oaks.
Black locust and usage orange maj' be expected to have an aver-
age life of at least twice that of white oak.
In selecting wood for a given use, it should be remembered that
the heartwood in most species is more durable than the sapwood,
so that if durability is a requirement, pieces with as much heart-
wood as possible should be selected.
Application of Data
In choosing between oak and another wood for a given use,. the
requirements w'hicli the wood should meet should be listed in order
of their importance. The requirements should then be checked,
so far as possible, with the data given in this article on:
1. Structure and identification o£ the various groups of oak.
2. Actual weiglils per cubic foot of the different woods, green, air-
dried and kiln-dried.
3. Shrinisagc of the different woods, considering the actual shrinkage
radially and tangentially, tlie ratio of the tangential to radial shrinkage,
and tlif comiiai'ative shrinkagi- in voliiine from a grreii to an oven-di-y
cniiditioii liased on oak.
4. C'linipanitive oven-diy spcciOc gravity of tlw different woods based
on volunif wiien green, using oak as basis of comparison. This is often
thought ot' as relative weight or density.
3. Strength as a beam or post, hardness, slunk n-^istinj; ability, and
stiffness of other woods compared with oak.
(1. Relative durability of the woods.
>>o data on manufacturing and seasoning are given in this
article, and in selecting a wood for a given use based on the infor-
mation given here it must be assumed that it is properly manu-
factured and seasoned. Neither are data given on special require-
ments, such as resonance, odor, color, etc.
The application of the data in a few eases may serve as a guide
to the reader in solving tte question of which wood is best adapted
to his needs. If a wood of mediuin-dark finish is desired, for
example, then oak is usually acceptable. If plain-sawed finish is
desired, red oak is often preferred to white oak, because it is more
open-textured and gives an open-work design. If quarter-sawed
finish is desired, white oak is usually preferred to red oak, because
its larger medullary rays give more prominent flakes on the radial
surface. If flooring is being purchased for a house, the consumer,
in addition to grade, is interested primarily in shrinkage, texture,
color and hardness; whereas, if the flooring is for a stable, hardness
and durability are the principal requirements. If shock-resisting
ability is needed, as in a handle or sjjoke, hickory is preferable to
oak. In a treenail for fastening on a ship plank, durability is one
of the principal requirements, and osage orange and black locust
are preferable to white oak; white oak in turn is better than red
oak, which is not only less durable but also more porous, thus per-
mitting seepage of water into the ship. Each use should receive
special and careful consideration, in order that the consumer may
receive the ma.ximum service. Only through the wise use of wood
by proper selection, manufacture and treatment can the increase
in the use of substitutes be checked. Increasing the goodwill of the
consumer through service and through the adaptation of the best
material for his requirements will inevitably increase the demand
for wood.
Edward Hines Loan Quickly Oversold
The attractiveness of American western made industrial bonds,
secured by natural assets, as compared to foreign government
bonds, based on taxation security, is strikingly demonstrated by
the rapid absorption of the $5,000,000 loan made to the Edward
Hines Associated Lumber Interests by Baker, Fentress & Company
in conjunction with the Continental and Commercial Trust and
Savings Bank and the Illinois Trust & Savings Bauk, all of Chicago.
The first mortgage 8 per cent serial gold bonds of this loan, which
were advertised by Baker, Fentress & Company in Hardwood
Record and other trade journals and newspaper.s, a few weeks ago,
have already been oversold. The bonds are listed on the Chicago
stock exchange.
The bonds were bought by the general investing public and" the
readiness with which they were taken will demonstrate to lumber-
men generally that the bonds of their industry are salable to dis-
criminating buyers and with this type of buyer can hold their own
with the bonds of any other industry on the market.
These bonds are secured by a first mortgage on properties of the
Park Falls Lumber Company and Edward Hines Yellow Pine Trus-
tees, comprising approximately 305,000 acres of timber lands in
Wisconsin and Mississippi, all owned in fee simple (except 19,000
acres of timber rights), estimated to carry 2,700,000,000 feet of
merchantable timber, together with five sawmills, railroads and
other equipment. On the basis of pre-war prices for timber, and
cost, less depreciation for sawmills and equipment, the value of
these properties is over $20,000,000 or more than four times the
amount of the bonds of the first issue.

News from the National Capital
Kepresentatives of the countr.v's leadiiiit Innilii'i- associations anil
other leading industries attended the eonfiMciU'e in Washington
on July 29, called by the National Association of Manufacturers
at the suggestion of Herlicrl Hoover, Secretary of Coninierce, to
discuss plans and methods of handling statistics of production.
Secretary of (\ininierce Hoover addressed tlo' iiKiiiiif:utunTs and
merchants, felling them of the urgent neces.sity for a greater degree
of cocjperatioii in .\nieriean business to promote intelligent export
trade. The .Secretary pointed out that the British, by means i.f
organized methods, are onstrii)ping the American traders and tliti*
onlv bv eo-operation with the Government and careful organiza-
tion to eliminate wasteful methods and i|u]dications can this com-
petition be met.
The .Secretary intimated that so well oignnized .'ire the British
foreign traders that they are getting as much, if not more, good
(Uit of the trade and statistical information gathered by the Amer-
ican consular and trade services than American business men for
whom these services are performed. He indicated that the depart-
ment would endeavor in the future to jirotoct this information
better and take steps to ri'strirt its use vvliile fresh to American
traders.
After stressing the point lh.it an aiciuate determination of the
productive results of American industry is only possible if carried
out with the eo-operation of the industry itself, the Secretary sug-
gested that the manufacturers consider the utility of compiling
the next census of manufacturers on a commodit.v basis. Hitherto,
the census evaluation of ]iroduction has been in terms of money.
It is realized now, he said, how uncertain the monetarv valuation
of production can be and stated that it is highl.y desirable that
the new census should be in a form that would serve a practical
purpose to the various industries themselves. The recommenda-
tions were concurred in and J. Philip Bird, general manager of
the National Association of Manufacturers, chairman of the meet-
ing, expressed the hope that all the crafts able to supplv the T)e-
)iartnicnt of Commerce with their intimate statistical data should
do so to the extent of their abilit.v.
Secretary Hoover mentioned the fact that many manufacturers
and their associations are engaged in the compilation of statistics
of their industrv on a monthly or quarterl.y basis, and in formulat-
ing this inquiry of the Department of Commerce ndating to its
policy regarding statistical information, he said he had in mind
that in industries in which frequent statistics are necessary and
useful, that the.v should form the groundwork of intermediate
statistics. The monthl.v figures also might be found useful when
incorporated as a basis for a monthl.v report on tlie entire national
resources, showing the trend of business throughout the countr.v.
To supplement the recommendatious of Secretary Hoover, Wil-
liam M. Steuart, Director of the Census Bureau, had rcadv for dis-
tribution the proofs of the first printed report of the monthly busi-
ness survey which will be issued hereafter b.v the Department of
Commerce. Such a report was issued in mimeographed form for
June and besides numerical data on production, presents the ratio
between production and stocks of commodities for the current
month and the average monthl.v production and stocks in a normal
.vear, by means of index numbers.
This report is not comprehensive as yet, as manv industries
either lack the facilities for compiling such information for pub-
lication by the Government or are reluctant to furnish it to the
Department of Commerce.
!•'. M. Feiker, assistant to Secretar.v Hoover, spoke of the plans
the Department is inaugurating to serve iudustr.v, which in-
clude the organization of twelve major commodity sections of
which five now are operating. He said that there is a plan now
under wav to make cabled information on foreign trade available
immediately to interested manufacturers. Dr. Julius Klein, direc
tor of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, addressed
the meeting on the commodity information which the department
will furnish to industries.
After an all-day discussion the luiifeieMic aulliorized tlie aji-
liointnient of a committee for the jinrpose of having them further
confei with census officials on the scope and schedules of the
forthcoming census, the taking of which commences on January ],
next. The personnel of this committee consists of Nathan B. Wil-
liams, chairman, National Association of Manufacturers; General
L. C. Bo.vle, of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association;
Paul T. Cheringtou, National Association of Wool Manufacturers;
.J. W. Drake, National Autinnobile Chamber of Commerce; Ij. M.
Fanning, American I'etndeinn Institute; Albert E. Marshall, Chem-
ical Division, .\ liiaii lOiigineering Council; E. W. McCullough,
Fabricated I'ldiliictimi Heparlment, Chamber of Commerce of the
United States; ;iiiil A. II. Willett, National Coal Association.
Among the lumber associations represented at the conference
were the American Wholesale Lumber Association, Chicago; Oak
Flooring Manufacturers Association of the United States, Chicago;
National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D. C:
National Wludcsale Lumber Dealers Association, New York City;
Southern Hardwood Traflic Association, Memphis, Tcnn.
What is regarded as the first successful blow in an alleged cam-
paign to abolish the Federal Trade Commission is seen in the ac-
tion of the Senate in adopting tlie conference report on the packer
control bill. The measure now awaits final approval by the House
before it goes to President Harding for his signature and beccinies
a law.
The measure, as approved by the Senate, gives to the Secretary
of Agriculture the power to establish offices in his department
-similar to those already established by the Federal Trade Com-
mission, for the regulation of jiacking practices.
Since the basic commodities over which the Federal Trade Com-
mission now has jurisdiction are food, shelter, fuel, and clothing,
friends of the commission contend that the foremost of these, food,
would be taken awa.v from the Commission by the packer control
bill. The Frelinghuysen coal bill, which appears to be dead for
this session, would relieve the commission of responsibility in tlie
matter of fuel, and alread.v, it is said, there are elements at work
to take from the commission jurisdiction over shelter and clothing.
*******
The Interstate Commerce Commission recently aimounced the
substitution of the .35 per cent for the 3:iV:i per cent increa.se
in the class and commodity rates between Eastern and Southern
groups and the Southwest was not justified. The increases pro-
posed were in joint class and commodity rates between points in the
Southwest and points in the defined territory east of the Illinois-
Indiana State line and of the Mississippi Eiver, Cairo, 111., and
South, constructed by the use of base rates to or from St. Louis,
plus arbitraries or diflferentials cast of St. Louis.
The Commission, however, announced that increases jiroposed in
rates originally established and prior, to August 26, 1920, main-
tained on or intended to be on the basis of lowest combination of
local rates to and from the Mississippi Eiver crossings or other
rate basing points, were justified.
Increases proposed in joint rates on cane and logging cars,
in straight or mixed carlo.ids, and on wrought and cast iron pipe,
were found justified and also increases proposed in joint rates on
hides from Fort Worth to Eastern tanning points were found not
justified. Excepting the proposed increasejl rates approved by the
commission, the carriers were ordered to establish new rates on,
or before, June 27.

Bates Steel Mule Model "G" Is on the Market
Tho Model "(j" is a liuavy B/iti's steel mule built for iiulustrinl
work exi'lusivcl}-. It is iiuiflu so tliat a povver-clrivoii winch ran lie
attached to the front end for logKint; aud other work. If weiKhs
approximately 0,")0U pounds and lias a rating of '2') h.p. on the diaw
liar and 35 h.p. on the belt.
Like the Model "F" Hates steel mule, all working parts are
increased against dust and run in cdl l)ath. Wheels, tran.smission
and crawlers are lull roller bearing throughout. The clutch is hand
operated, dry plate disc type and can be operated either from
driver's seat made on platform of tractor. The driver's scat is
made of swivel so that it can be pushed out of the way when driver
is standing on jdatform. The pedals for holding either iTawler still
are located on platform at rear of the tractor.
Hauling speeds are two .and one-third mili-s per hour and three
and one-half miles per Jiour, and the revi^rse s)ieed is .ipproxiniatelx
two miles per hour.
The general construction is of the backbon<' type, where tlu'
transmission is bolted directly to the motor, making one solid block
of the entire I'ower plant.
The motor has a three-inch hollow crank shaft and four aud oin'
h.alf-inch cylinders. The oil pressure "arriage is between thirty
five and fifty jjounds, and is so regulated that whenever the pull
increases on the draw bar the volume of oil to the motor bearings
is automatically increased at the same time.
This is a very valuable feature for an industrial tractor, wliicli
is subjected to many severe shocks and does not always have .-i
competent operator to care for it.
Like other Rates tractors, the same high grade materials and
workmanship arc used in the construction of this machine, ami
every part is easily and quickly accessible.
The Universal Crane
For heavy lifting the locomotive crane has long been used. It
had to have tracks to get to .a job, but when there it was able to
handle great loads. This was often unnecessary, as more than S't
per cent of the loads to be lifted were far lighter than its capacity,
and it became a case of doing a little job with a big investment or
doing it by m.-mual labor.
To meet this condition the light crane has been developed, .ind it
is becoming iiopni.ir very r.ipidly in its own field.
One of these cranes here illustrated is j)articularly flexible in its
possibilities, as it can be mounted in a wide variety of ways to
meet the working conditions which confront it.
Instead of steam power it uses a gasoline or electric motor, and
does not need a licensed engineer to operate it. It is full rotating
.and has ;i capacity of three to four tons with high speeds through-
out. The mounting is determined by the work t<i be done and the
conditions that have to be met.
A motor truck makes an ideal mounting where work has to be
done often in widely separated spots, as a ten to twelve-mile an
hour speed can be made from place to place.
-V rubber-tired trailer can be used in the same way to carry it
when one has ;i truck for towing, though travel gear, using the
rraue ]i(>wer, is furnishe<l for short distance work.
The Univerjial Crane in Action
In the woods where logs are loaded a "Universal" crane on the
railroad flat car mounting will load a train very economically, back-
ing from car to car as each is loaded. The crane can load logs fast
or it may be used to unload etjuipment.
A crane on continuous tread can go anywhere a tractor will to
load cars or trailers, or motor trucks in the districts where they can
get in. Or put it on the motor truck itself in these districts.
In the mill where lumber is cut and sorted the crane on an auto
truck or industrial truck can go from pile to pile loading the carts
in a fraction of men's time and can unload from carts to pile also.
Such a unit should be very useful in stocking lumber for the kilns
and in removing it.
An Industrial Tractor That Will Stand Shocks
Timber Surveys by Air
That he obtained more information regarding the timber and waterways
of the country over which he bad flown as the result of a few hours' air
trip than he could have secured by years of travel on foot was the
recent statement of a timber expert in Quebec. A flying boat was used
for this exploration and survey of the forests of the northern part of the
Province, the trip of 850 miles being completed in 12% hours of flying.
Several stops were made to complete reports of the country traveled over
as well as to secure more fuel. Besides the pilot and logging expert, the

My cx|ii'ri('iui' and obsi'rvatioiis in workinf; with band saws has
sliown Mil- that in almost all I'ases whore cracked saws have come
into the filing roiini the craiks occurred either in the first run or
between the first and sixth runs. In other words, the bands cracked
while being broken in and adjusted. We filers have all had this
exjierit'Tic-r with new saws and in my opinion it is due to faulty
tension. II' the band is not cracked beyond all hope we simply
repair ami wear it out in service. However, experience and infor-
mation from men in the \)usiness has taught me some faets which
I am going to put In'fore you.
Tile first few runs a band saw makes are the most iuipcirtarit in
deteruiiiiing flu- future of the saw. It is by the first six runs that
a filer makes his observations and forms his opinions of tliu saw,
satisfying himself as to the material and workmanship in Ihe saw.
I myself, do not believe in jiassing judgment after the first run,
but always give a leeway of about six runs in order not to use
.".nap judgment. There is a fact existing about all new machinery
and tools — they "work stifT" until broken in, as we all know.
The bearings must be worn in, etc. A b.-ind saw is no exception
to this rule.
Let us look ;i little further into the band saw situation, and I
think you will bear with me in my arguments and assertions. Very
few bands coming from the steel mills or from liardening and
tempering in the same shape. Some conform to the back and
tension gauges more readily than do others. From this it follows
that in putting one band u)i more hammer work and rolling is
required, ])erhaps, on one than another. In man}' cases one portion
of a saw will be a quarter of an inch over or under the back gauge
and on either side of this portion the saw will fit to the gauge
nicely. It may run straight the entire remainder of the back.
It follows quite naturally that more rolling and stretching will
be required in that portion which drops away or is full to the
gauge. The result is that in the first few runs which the new band
makes the parts which have been worked more in order to draw
up or bring down the back, will hold their tension much longer
than the [lortions which did not require so much rolling. This
results in uneven tension which gives the appearance of soft spots
or uneven temper.
Let us take up another case of uneven temper or soft spots.
After a short run on the mill it is found that some parts of the
band have held their tension while others have not. Narrow, tight
spots will also show up in the center of the saw. This is caused by
rolling the tension — dropping the saw to fit the tension gauge in
the first tensioning. Naturally, when a saw has been rolle<l heavy,
the rolled lines are placed further apart than they would have been
had lighter pressure and more rolling been used. These tight spots
will always be found between the heavy rolled lines. This is often
called, as we all know, false tension, and is one of the reasons why
a new saw will not as a rule stand as deep a tension as one that
has been run.
To sum up, the whole situation amounts to this; stretching takes
place from working the saw, and parts of the band which have
been worked more than other parts maintain their tension longer.
This condition exists until the band has thoroughly adapted itself
to conditions and has been adjusted uniformly all around to the
running bend from passing over the wheels.
In breaking in new bands I have found by experience that a
few points have helped me a great deal. It is always well to use
a shaper on all new saws, grind the teeth to or near to the shape
you are using, and then put on the bench.
^ It is always advisable, in my estimation, in working over a new
band to have the e<lges firm. Hunning the tension too close to thi-
edge (tooth edge especially) jiroves disastrous to miaiy a good saw.
A new band will not stand as deep a tension as one which has
been stretched and adjusted uniformly. Put up an old saw so
that it will just lie flat on the leveling block, and put up a new
saw with the same gauge. It is difiicult to make th(^ new s;iw lie
flat on the block. This demonstrates the fact.
A new band in other words is like a new machine of any kind
or like a new shoe. It has got to be broken in gradually. If w<-
try to force it, it is quite apt to result in a disaster to something.
This something is bound to be the band saw, because it is the
delicate part. In the case of the shoe, it is the man's foot that
usually catches the punishment. .\ band which has been thoroughly
worked with the rolls has the tension evenly distributed through
out the blade, and the strain likewise is evenly distribiiteil when
the band is running on the mill; whereas a new band in its fir.st
few runs has not been sufficiently worked over to have this tension
distributed evenly and therefore the strain is thrown onto the
fast spots between the rolled lines. Until the tension is evenly
distributed you will have these fast spots and an uni'ipi:i) distri-
bution of strain.
Plan to Reduce the Time and Cost of Air
Seasoning Wood
In co-operation with the sawmills and wood utilization plants
throughout the country, the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison,
Wisconsin, is organizing an extensive field study on the air season-
ing of wood. This study, it is believed, will be of extreme in-
terest to the lumber manufacturer and to the wood-using industries.
The purpose is to determine the i)iling practice which will result
in the fastest drying rates consistent with the least depreciation
of stock, the least amount of required yard space, and the least
handling costs. The study will be carried on concurrently on both
hardwoods and softwoods. All the impoi'tant comn)ercial woods
of the United States will eventually receive consideration.
A tentative working plan of the air seasoning study has been
prepared by the Forest Products Laboratory, and copies are being
sent to the secretaries of the various lumber and wood-using asso-
ciations, state foresters, forest school heads, and others eminently
qualified to comment on the plan.
Co-operation in the air seasoning study is being offered on every
side. As yet the plants at which the work will aitually be dom-
have not been definitely chosen, but the extreme interest alread.v
manifested indicates that there will be no difliculty in si'iuring
co-operation with plants ideal for the study. Actual fielil work
will soon be well under way.
Reoomnundations will be made to Congress by the Adminis-
tration relative-to pulp wood lands in Alaska as aooii as the iuvi'sti-
gation which is now under way is completed.
The question of the restrictions on Alaskan wood iuilii l.i.ds li.i:<
ueen taken up several times by the Cabinet and the Pre i<le;it him-
self is understood to be very much inti'rested in the whob situa'iou.
In addition to being a newsi)aiier publisher and, thereliMc, being
interested in the pulpwood situation, the President haf ividenci' I
much interest in the reopening of Alaska. It is understood that
high Government oflScials feel that the restrictions in Alaska
probably have been carried too far to allow the <le\elopmein of
these lands.

Cause and Prevention of Blue Stain
Ulur stuiii is tlic most tr(nil)l('s(iiiic of tlic sajj stains wliirli dis-
lolor wood. It is causcil hy a fiinjins wliicli germinates on the saji-
wniiil and jicncl rates its cells in seareli of starches and sugars.
Tliis action of tlie I'nagiis caases tio perceptible weakening of the
wood, but the discoloration which results lessens tlie value of the
lundicr for many jnirposes, such as interior iinisli, tloorinj;. and
Ijasket and lio.x veneers. The st.iin at first may lu' no more than
a bluish spot or streak oii the surface, but later, as the fniigus
develops, the discoloration niay invohi' all of the sapwood anil
become too deeji to surfaci' olT. 'I'lie lilue st.iin finifjus can revive
in timbers after loiiy iicriods ol in.-iction bronnlit mi by lack of
moisture.
W.-irm weather .uid a i-oiM|iar.il i vely high moisture coiiteat of the
wood an' the ijiost favorable conditions for the growth of the blue-
stain fungus. Most of the infection <icrurs in jireen liimbi'r which
is piled without ample vent il;it inn lietween the boards, in the mill
yard or during, shipment.
As yet no .absolutely dc|>en(l,ible means of preventing blue stain
has been llound by the I'. S. Forest I'roilucts Ij.aboratory, other
than kiln drying the lumber. The ordinary kilndrving process is
entirely effective against blue st;iin. but tlu're are many cases in
which this means of )u'evention is not feasible. Staining during
air seasoning can be largely controlled by open piling. This affords
Sree circulation of the air .-nid so hastens drying, but not always
suHiciently under .adverse weather conditions to discourage the
stain fungi.
The treatment of the green Ininber with antisej)tic dips is the
ULost effective method which is generally ap[>licablc at the ]iresent
time. For this jjurpose the chemicals commonly used are sodium
carbonate (soda ash) and sodium bicarbonate (ordinary baking
soda). Neither is a sovereign reme.ly under severe conditions, such
. as continuous rainy periods during the warm months, but will go
f;ir tow.arils keeping the stock (dean. In r.-iinj- seasons an 8 per
cent solution of sodium carbonate is desirable, but in drier weather
lialf this strength should suffice. A high grade of soda ash should
coiifaiiL .ibout .58'^ per cent alkali, and every effort should l>e made
to conform to this standaril of i)urity. When sodium bicarbonate
is used, an 11 per cent solution should be employed in wet weather
.■ind ") to li per cent in dry weather. This diemical when dry should
cont.iin aljoul M7 jier cent alkali.
Jn the use of tliesi' chemical dips, the following ])oints should be
kejit in mind: (1) The solutions should be carefully mixed and
the concentrations in the dipping tanks should be kept uniform by
means of a hydrometer. (2) The solutions should be he.ated when
applieil. tlio bicarbonate .solution not above 120° F., however.
because it is l)roken down into the carbonate by excessive iicating.
(3) The stock should be dijipi'd as it comes from the saw. (4)
After di]ii)ing it should lie carefully jjiled so as to insure ample
ventil.'itiou. Narrow, cliemically-treated cross strips are prefer-
able til the wide untreated stri^is commonly employed, since treated
crossers teml to eliminate stain at the point of contact.

Iniyer to unload nil such sliipnicuts and hold same intact fur ufflcial iusin-c
tion, which the tniyer did.
There was' considerable delay in the arrival of the Inspector and re-in-
spection was not ciuupletcd until .\ugust 9. The eoinhined ofticial reports
en tile 11 ears sli.iwed :
109.584 ft. on grade
51,931 ft. rejected for stain
3.815 ft. used by buyer
225,330 ft. total accounted for.
rruinptly upon receipt of the inspector's reports tlie seller teuden d
ilelivcry on all up-to-grade stock shown therein liy invoicing same at
iiiiginal contract prices, and offered to remove the rejected or stained
stock. These corrected invoices amounted to $17,122,55.
Tlic Dispute: The buyer returned all these corrected invoices and
refused to accept any portion of the stock covered by same. His conten-
tion was that his original orders called for thoroughly dry stock which
w.iuld be ready for use in his plant Ininiediately upon delivery tliereof.
.iiiil that, while not denying that it was dry when re-inspected some six
weeks alter it was received, he contended it was not dry when it arrived
and therefore not in accordance with contract. He furthermore con-
leudi'd that most of the stock was put on sticl<s when it was unloaded,
whidi enabled it to dry out before re-inspection took place, and intro-
duced several affidavits of his employes as proof thereof.
The seller contended that the lumber was all thoroughly dry when
leceived, as evidenced by the railroad weights on same, which compareil
favorably with those on the other 44 cars 'shipped on these orders and
accciited. He explained the iiresenco of stained stock was due to careless
loading at the mill, where apparently some stock which had become
stained in drying had been leaded in by mistake. He also contended that,
even admittin.s that the stock was too damp for immediiite use upon
arrival, ho still had uutil August 15 in which to make delivery; and that,
there being no question as to its dryness prior to that time, the same
should be accepted on the several contracts as amended by the extension
agreement. He furthermore alleged that all except the stained stock was
close piled when unloaded, and introduced an affidavit from the official
inspector in support of this contention.
The Dccixioii: Held, that the evidence submitted as to the condition
of the stock as to dryness upon arrival was contlictiug and not conclusive:
and that, therefore,' the report of the official inspector, which showetl the
Innibcr to he dry when reinspectcd liy hiiu. was tlie only conclusive evi-
dence submitted on this point.
Held further, that the official inspection reports indicated a sufficient
liercentage of off grade stock in each car in dispute to justify the buyer
in rejecting same upon arrival. Also, that inasmuch as seller requested
that the stock from all cars be held intact pending official inspection no
delivery was really made or tendered thereon until after such inspection.
Held further, that orders 20159 and 2G100 having called for earlier
deliveries and shiimients thereon liad then been completed* were not
included in the extension agreement of May 28.
Therefore, and inasmuch as no delivery of the five cars shipped on those
orders was tendered within the time limit specified therein, it is held that
same wore properly rejected by the Iniycr as to their entire contents.
Held further, that the time for final delivery on all or any portion of
erders 201C1, 2C234 and 2G29S, except such shipments as may have arrived
and been accepted thereon on May 28. was extended on that date to
August 15. 1920: and that bu.ver was privileged to tender such deliveries
at any time on nr liefiire that date.

Dispute as to Thickness of Stock Ordered
Till- I-'ui:ts: On .May 11, 1920, a wholesaler ptirehased from a ni.inufac-
turer, through a comniissioTi man, three cars of 1x1 box spruce, SIS or
S2S to 25/32", This order was satisfactorily fllled, the same' being com-
'ideted with a shipment made tin May 2G.
On .Tune 10. 19211, this wholesaler purchased through the same coininis
sion man one car of 1x4 No. 1 common fir SIS, no thickness specified, tlie
transaction taking place over the telephone. The seller promptly sent a
formal acknowledgment of the order to the buyer.
Sliipnient was made on .Tune 22, and consisted of stock dressed %"
thick, which was the standnni lliiekness as provided in the rules governing
the same.
Huycr rejected tlie shiiuiient on account of its fieiiig tun thin for tlie
purposes of his customer. He contended, first, that the order was intended
and considered by him as an atldition to the previous order for thr<?e cars,
and should therefore have been worked to the same thickness. lie, further-
more, contended that even though this understanding did not prevail with
the seller, the latter should still have understood that the finished thickness
of 2.'i/32" was reciuired as a result of his having just previously filled the
i)ther order wliich specified the same.
fhc Coutrorrrti!/: Seller contended, first, that no mention was made of
thickness at the time of the second sale; second, that there was no men-
titui of its being an addition to the previous order and tliat in view of
these facts, and the further fact that the second order called for fir,
whereas the first one was for spruce, he did not know, and had no right to
assume, but that the second order was a new transaction calling for stock
of standard thickness, as provided in the rules. Seller also contended
that, although the buyer had ample opportunity to amend or cancel the
order between the date he received the seller's acknowledgment of same
and the date shipment was made, he failed to do either and apparently
failed to note his failure to specify the special thickness lie desired.
TJic DeciHiun : . Held, the evidence suluiiitted shows couclnsiAciy that the
order in question was placed over the telephone by the buyer on .June 10.
1920. and that it was accepted ou the same date by the seller, and that the
acknowledgment specified that the stock would be SIS %".
Held, further, the evidence does not sustain the contention of the buyer
that the car of fir was to be applied on an order previously placed tor
spruce, as the record shows that shipment of the spruce order was com-
pleted May 2t;, approximately two weeks prior to tlie purchase of the car
of fir. The car of fir was shipped twelve days after the date id' pur-
chase, whicli provided ample time f<pr cancellation to be made had there
been any confusion in the mind of tlie buyer on that point.
The purchaser admits that he failed to specify the thickness of the stock
in question. T,acUiug specifications to the contrary, the seller was justified
in shipping standard thickness for tlie stock ordered, and should in no way
be penalized for ignorance on the part of the purchaser covering the
standard size of the various woods.
Hold, further, that the seller properly fulfilled his contract hy shipping
a car containing 1x4 No. 1 common fir SIS %", and tliat the buyer should
pay the selli'r in full for this shipmi'ut, together with demurrage charges
and all other expenses accumulating against the shipment due to the
refu.sal of the buyer to accept the same.

Substitutes for Ash in Automobile Bodies
.\sh has always been considered the most desirable wood for use in auto-
mobile bodies. It combines the iiroperties of moderate weight, easy work-
ability, high degree of toughness, and comparative freedom from warping.
On account of the high price of ash, however, other woods are gradually
replacing it in all but the most expensive cars.
The following description prepared by the Forest Products Laboratory
gives some of the advantages and disadvantages of the substitute woods as
lompared with forest grown ash for automobile construction.
Maple, Hard maple is used for sills in many cars, and in some for
the framework of the body and even the floor and running boards. Maple
is fully as strong and stiff as :i beam or post as white ash., but is not as
Reducing Salesmen's
Non-productive Time
We speak ^ ery fluenth about non-productive time of
men in the factories and precious hours wasted while the
machines stand idle. It Is the saffron hobgoblin that
haunts the dreams of every ambitious factory mana)Ser.
^'et seldom do we mention it in connection with the work
of our tra\eliu^ salesmen.
.4 manufacturer recently made a painstaking Investiga-
tion into the efficiency of his road salesmen. He checked
up the number of working hours, the number of towns
visited and number of calls made. He was horrified to
find that the actual time spent visiting prospects was less
than three hours per day — for five days a week. The
remainder of the time was frittered away getting from
hither to von, writing reports, digging up prospects and
cooling heels in the frigid outer offices.
The first thing he did was to supply his force wiili
automobiles. He discovered that instead of making two
towns a day they could make four or even five. And
instead of greeting half a dozen prospects, they could
tell their story to a dozen and a half.
He told his men frankly that while he did not expect
them to neglect their home duties, they should not work
their territory by the dinner bell. "When the day's work
carries you twenty-five or thirty miles from home, you
.tre on your way home at half-past three or four, per-
haps leaving a good prospect that you could have closed
had you stayed and were not worrying about getting
home on time. Better by far, to take one full day each
week and spend it at home. Hy such arrangement you
will be able to devote the proper amount of time to
business and not neglect your family."
But a far from negligible amount of time was lost
waiting outside closed office doors, and once inside, in
explaining to prospects what should have been common
knowledge regarding the firm's product and its peculiar
advantages over competing articles. Moreover, it was
arduous at first call to sort out the active prospects from
the others.
So the services of advertising were enlisted. Introduc-
tions were found to be easier. I'eople actually in the
market sent in inquiries which cut out lost motion. And
the representative's initial visits were not totally con-
sumed explaining the rudimentary questions about the
firm's activities.
Cutting down the salesman's non-productive time Is a
problem for business efficiency engineers — call them what
vou may — no less than reducing the number of overhead
hours in the plant. .Automobiles will do it. So will
better systems of routing. So will standardized methods
of approach and appeal. So will ad\crtising.

of its smooth-wearing qualities and comparative freedom from slivers,

Elm. The principal use <if elm is for fram'es; seat backs, and doors ;
very little, if any. is used for sills. White elm Is jireferred to rock clin.
except for some of the bent parts, because it is more easily (vorked and is
less subject to warping. I'or the same reasons lumber from old white elm

Ford Sawmill Begins Its Career
The new sawmill erected at Iron Mountain. Mich., by ti»e Michigan
Iron, Land and Lumber Company, which was established by Henry Ford
of Detroit as tlie cenlrall/ation of the woodworking production for his
vast automobile and tractor industries, was formally pUiced in operation
on Tuesday, .Inly 12, in the presence of officials of the Ford enterprises,
representatives of the Allis-Chaluiers Manufacturing Company of Mllwau
kee, which furnished the eipilpmeni of the plant, and other prominent
engineers and citizens, A birdseye ULaple log was run Into the saws with
due ceremony to mark the formal beginning of this notable operation.
The new mill is regarded as a model of etlicleucy and engineering skill.
and because of the modern methods of manufacturing possible witli this
design of plant equipment, waste has been eliminated to an imusual de
gree, so that it is expected that much more lumber will be' realized per
thousand feet of log measure than is usual in onllnnry sawmills.
Buy Plant to Make Plugs
The Arkansas Hickory Company, Marvell, .\rk., has purchased .i tract
of five acres of land from the Pioneer I'ole & Shaft Company of Memphis.

turing plant thereon, and will engage In the making of tie plugs on a large

A Service to Producers and Users of Wood Waste
The Wood Waste Exchange of the U. S. Forest Service has been trans-
ferred from Washington to the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison,
Wis,, where its future activities will be centered. The Exchange has
in the past contributed much towards more complete utilization of wood.
liy suppl.ving a medium through which the mills and wood-using factories
could locate markets for their side lumber and sliort lengths, and wood-
consuming factories' .sources of material of this character which would
meet their requirements.
Centering the activities of the Exchange at the Forest Products Lal)0-
rafory will permit an expansion of tills service. In timt it will be possible
to include suggesthms as to markets and new uses for by-products and
low grade material, based on the latest results of technical research carried
on by the lalioratory. As both the Forest Products Laboratory and the
.\RSOclation of Wood Using Industries have pointed out, there is a large
wastage of wood annually because of ignorance on the part of manu-
facturers of one another's wood requirements.
Quarterly reports on "Opportunities to Sell Waste." similar to those
issued in the past, will be sent to all concerns who wish to be listed as
having wood by-products and waste in any form for sale. These reports
will contain the names and addresses of manufacturers of various wooden
products who could uniler suitable conditions use raw material from
t:hese sources, together with information as to kinds, sizes, form, and
condition of the stock desired. Suggestions as to the proper methods of
caring for the material until it is ready for market will also be included.
.V similar report on "Opportunities to Buy Wood Waste" will be sent
to wood-using factories and other consumers who ask to be listed for this
service. This report will contain information relating to manufacturers
who have such material and its character, quality, and amount available.
None other than actual producers or consumers of wood stock of this
character can become patrons of this exchange. AH communications should
be addressed to the Director. Forest Products Laboratory, ^^adison. Wis.
Alarmed at High Freight Rates
The New Y^>rk State College of Forestry is caHing attention to lumber
freight rates and declares that if prompt measures are not taken the
reductions along other lines will be seriousl.v counterbalanced by the cost
of wood products — increased rentals, scarcity of homes, high prices for
furniture, etc. Two-fifths of the state's area lies idle, unfit for agricnlturr
and suitable only for forests.
A Market for Hardwood Sawdust
-\ business man recently remarked having seen "a mountain of sawdust."
as be termed it, rotting in tlie yard of a lumber mill. When he made the
remark, two men connected with a large packing house were present, and
they enlightened the man of the fact that the pork packers are now in the
market for all the sawdust they can obtain.
luquir.v brought out the fact that sawdust of the hardwoods is now
u.sed to smoke hams, sausages, etc. Gas is used to light the sawdust,
and it tiurns like timber, making a very effectual means of smoking meats.
They further mentioned that pine was used for hams, and cedar for
smoking s;iusagec,
S. p. Waives Reconsigning Charges
The Soutiiern Hardwood Traffic Association announces that the Southern
Pacific lines have amended their rules so that no reconsigning charges
win he assessed on export commodities moving to New Orleans on local
tillls of lading so long as the shipments are finally exported. It also
announces that it has received a supplement to the Texas & Pacific tariff
correcting its rules in the same manner, effective July 7. and that it is
advised that the Missouri Pacific anil Illinois Central have their tariffs
in tile hands of the printer for similar changes. It also states that Indi-
cations are that all of the other lines, with the possible exception of the
Louisville & Nashville, will correct their tariffs accordingly.
Under the new rules it will only be necessary to bill shipments to New
tlrleans for export, and, when so billed, no reconsigning charges will be
assessed where shipments are finally exported.
Under tile rules which are now being amended, a charge of $7 per car
is assessed when cars are not finally moved by way of the steamship linn
or steamer shown in inland bills of lading, or this information furnished
prior to arrival of cars. The new rules mean that this charge of $7 has
virtually been waived by lines handling export shipments on local bills of
ladifig into the port of New Orleans.

An Open Letter to
Saw Mill Men about
Their Service to the Public
EVERY year you manufacture from thirty to thirty-two billion
feet of lumber to meet the demands of the public. Every
industry depends on you for its lumber needs.
Manufactured forest products represent the second greatest industry
in America. Agriculture is first. Everyone knows about Agriculture.
But what does the public know about the lumber industry? Its
service, its risks, and hazards?
It is not difficult to understand that people do not think very
intelligently about lumber and the industry. They just don't know.
Educating Ihr I'lihtir to under-
stand tlir himbvr industry
YOUR Association the Nation-
al Lumber Manufacturers"
Association — is going to tell the
story of lumber. No American
industry yet has ever told its
story to the American people.
We will start in with the
fundamental facts. And saw mill
men, too, probably will learn
more about their own industry.
What tho Association is doinp
for till' lumber industry
THIS Association is the logical
spokesman for the lumber in-
dustry — America's saw mill
men.
The National Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association doesn't
sell lumber. It has nothing to do
with prices. Its functions are:
To study the forestry prob-
lems of the nation.
To increase efficiency in
the manufacture and dis-
tribution of lumber.
To eliminate waste in log-
ging and milling.
To promote the proper
utilization of all lumber
products.
To aid in developing by-
products to utilize the lar-
gest possible percentage of
every piece of timber.
A real public service
SUM it all up, its purpose is to
assist the lumber industry to
render a more efficient sei-vice
to the public.
The public doesn't know that
your Association publishes a
monthly bulletin of information
about your industry. Or that it
provides a weekly Statistical
Barometer giving current infor-
mation about changes in supply
and demand, and the current pro-
duction andshipments of lumber.
These publications are sent to
the industry, and to the press,
schools, colleges, and banks.
This information is available to
buyers and sellers alike.
All patents developed by the
Association's technical depart-
ment are given to the public.
It has already developed a heavy
timber "mill construction" that
doubles resistance to fire ; an
ordinary frame construction for
houses which is singularly free
from fire hazard. And a book
of ' 'Frame Construction Details,"
designed for strength, saving in
cost and fire retardance.
The public wants to knotv
about lumber
THE public will be interested
to learn something about
the lumber industry, because
it is face to face with your
achievements every minute of
every hour of every day in
the year.
Ihe National Lumber Manufactur-

eeeiled in having the Interstate Commerce CoiuiMission suspend the
ailvance of 0 cents per hundred pounds on lumber and forest products
irioving from Memphis to Ciiattanooga, and from the west and southwest,
via the Memphis gateway, to the same destination. It further advises
that the interested carriers have been prevailed upon to ask the ;,unmis-
slon for authority to cancel the tariffs carrying the higher rates.
The association also states that Kelly's Combination Tariff, No. 22S.
will remain in full force and effect, so far as forest products are concerned,
until Jan. 1, 1922. This means that shippers of these materials have
until the latter date to request publication of through rates to take the
place of rates based on combination, and the association is already show-
ing marked activity in letting the publishing agents of the carriers know
the points to and from which such through rates are desired. June 1 was
originally lixed as the date for the cancellation of Kelly's combination,
but it was found impossible for the railroads to publish the through rates
desired in such limited time. The pith and point of this whole matter
lies in the fact that, if the combinations are withdrawn before through
rates are published, there will be advances in hardwood rates, and this is
about the last thing lumliermen in this part of the country really want.
All Water Rates Reduced
The New Orleans offices of the Southern Hardwood Traffic -Vssociation
are calling attention to the fact that there has been a reduction of $3 to
$6 per thousand feet in the all-water rates from New Orleans to New York
via the Mallory Line, and are suggesting that shippers investigate these
lower all-water rates and make use of combination rail and water rates
via New Orleans instead of using the all-rail rates now in effect. The
management of these offices is in position to furnish information regard-
ing rates which will enable the shipper to determine very quiikly which
are in his favor.
No Change in Stake Allowances
There will be no change in present "stake allowance" arrangements
where shipments of lumber are made in open toii cars, accorcling to the
Southern Hardwood Traffic -Association. The carriers proposed some time
ago to lix the maximum weight of stakes used in such shipments at 500
pounds and to require the shipper to weigh the stakes and certify to the
correctness of his figures. Owing to the vigorous fight made by the asso-
ciation for the retention of the old 500-pound stake allowance, the car-
riers have withdrawn their proposals.
"OtHclals of the association are more confident now than ever before
that the railroads will be foi'ced to lower rates on hardwood lumber and
forest products and all heavy-tonnage commodities."
'I'liis is the unqualified statement of Mr. Townshend. He declines to say
on what this view is based, but he is willing to admit that it is based
on something more substantial than a mere "hunch."
.Vssociale officials have been very busy in getting up the charges to he
set forth in tlie complaint and they have been equally busy in securing data
from members in order that the formal charges may be substantiated when
the case conies on tor hearing before the interstate commerce commis-
sion. It is one thing to make charges and quite another to properly
support these. The association is fully aware of this fact and it is making
just as strenuous preparation to substantiate the charges contained in the
formal complaint as to get the latter properly before the interstate com-
merce commission.
In the meantime, the movement of low grade lumlier and forest products
is extremely light, and S. M. Nickey, president of the association, is author-
ity for the statement that then' will probably be no return to prosperity
among the lumbermen until freight rates are lowered to a point where
shipments can move to consuming destinations. This appears to be the
i|uite general view among members of this organization and it is this
fact which is doulitless responsible for the confidence they maintain in
the outcome of the fight. They do not believe the interstate commerce
coiTimission wilt allow a continuance of rates which are more than the
traffic can bear.
Carriers Granted Extension
Tlu' Southern Uarilwood Traffic .Association is in receipt of advices from
the interstate commerce commission that the latter has issued orders
authorizing the carriers to so amend their rough material tariffs as to
provide, on one day's notice, an extension of six months in the time limit
on tonnage which will expire, under present tarlft's. iluring the last half
of 1921.
The association asked for an extension of one year, hut it is thoroughly'
siitisfied with the present order, for the reason that this is the first
time in the history of the lumber industry or any other industry that such
an extension has ever been granted and for the additional reason that the
extension will effect a siiving of between .$400,000 and $500,000 to mem-
bers of this organization. The extension relieves them of the necessity
of having to jiay. within the next six months, the difference between gross
and net rates on rough m.aterials moving into milling centers.
Transit Privileges Granted
The Missouri. Kansas & Texas, Missouri Pacific, Frisco and Cotton Belt
railroads have established at St. Louis and East St. Louis, eft'ective August
15, 1921. transit privileges under which rough materials may be drawn
into these centers from points on their lines in .Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis-
souri. Oklahoma ami Texas, yarded, sorted, dried, manufactured or other-
wise rehandled, and then shipped to destination on the through rates
applying via these centers. There is a change of two and one-half cents
for the st<qj-over privilege.
The Cotton Belt has advised its willingness to establish transit privi-
leges at Thebes. III., as soon as the necessary tariffs can be published, and
the Louisville & Na.shville has agi-eed to extend its tran.sit privileges to
(Cincinnati. It has heretofore agreed only as to Memphis and Louis-
ville. Ky.
The Southein Hardwood Traffic .-Vssociation, which announces the estab-
lishment of these privileges at the points indicated, is making arrange-
ments to secure establishment of similar privileges at other points where
its members desire them, in direct line with the policy it announced at
the time it won its important victory before the interstate commerce
commission in the Jlemphis, Cincinnati and Louisville cases. Establish-
ment of transit privileges at East St. Louis. St. Louis and Thebes. 111.,
is regarili'il ;!■; a direct result of this victory before the conimission.
Clubs and Associations

Southern Hardwood Traffic Files Coinplaint
The formal comijlaint nf the Southern llanlwood Traffic -Association,
attacking jiresent adjustment of rates on hardwood lumber and forest
products, inclucling cooperage material, vehicle stock, logs and other
rough materials, has beeu filed before the interstate commerce couimissioii,
according to J. H. Townshend, secretary-manager.
J. V. Norman, general counsel of Ihe association, spent ji day in Mem-
phis last week goinp over the situation with officials of this organization
and familiarizing himself with all angles of the controversy. He went
from MiMiiphls to Washinstnii, where he gathered additional data which
wiis useil in the preparation of this formal document. Mr. Norman is
confident hearings will begin before the commission the first week in
September.
Private Contractor Is Employed
The .\mericau Overseas Forwarding Company has emplnyed a private
contractor to handle export lumber shipments at New Orleans, according
to announcement made by the Southern Hardwood Traffic -Association. In
addition to unloading this contractor will supervise the counting, see that
mates' receipts are clean and that shipments kie expedited as much as
possible.
The company will charge 3 cents per hundred pounds for this service
as agiiinst the 4 cents which the carriers have imposed through their
tariffs, thus effecting a saving of 1 cent per hundred pounds.
This service will apply on shipments moving on local or port ladings.
The railroads do not allow interference with. shipments moving on through
ladings.

American Tobacco Relinquishes Control
An intoresting announcement has recently been made following a meet-
ing of directore of the American Tobacco Co., in New York, it having
been decided that the tobacco company will relinquish its 71 per cent
stock control in the Mengel Co., of Louisville, through declaring a special
dividend of 4% I»er cent in Mengel stock to all common and Class T>
stockholilers, it being understood that this will be in addition to the usual
dividend of 3 per cent, which will be considered at a meeting later in the
month. The stock will be handled on a par basis in declaring the dividen<l.
This action was taken in connection with an agreement readied between
directors of the two companies, and large independent tobacco nianu
facturers, who agreed that if the tobacco company would relinquisli con
trol of the Mengel company they would cancel old agreements lor taking
tobacco boxes from tlie Mengel company, wliich had a year to run, and

Mr. Carnalian ranks as onf of the best known Iraltic nii'n in tlic United

Irafllc matters for the regional divisions of the National Association,
The board of governors of the Southern Hardwood Traffic Assoeiatioii
decided, by unanimous vote, some days ago, to engage the services of Mr.
Oarnahan as Washington n'pre.seiitative for the reason that practically
all traffic matters affecting members of this organization now come before
the interstate I'omiTieree conunission. making it di'sirable to have a man
on the spot charged with protection of the Interests of this organization.
Mr, Carnahan is attached to the executive offices of the association at
Memphis and is In no sense manager of district offices, such as those at
Louisville, Cincinnati, New Orleans and Helena, Ark,
Mr. Carnahan has been looking after certain rale matters for the asso-

Export Conditions Slightly Better
Harvey M. itickson. secretary tif the National i, umber IC.xportcrs' .Vssu
elation, in discussing exjicirt conditions the other ilay, declared that the
Toreign situation had changed appreciably for the better. It was not so
much, he said, that a free movement had begun to assert itself as that
toreign Ituyers were giving signs of needs which are by way of assuming
an imperative form, Mr, Hickson said :
It looks as though the situation on the otiier siile has changed markedl.v
lor the better. 'I'he l»u,\-ers there have Iteen persuading themselves that
I bey wdubl get lunilier a I lower prices if they only helil back, but they have
found that stocks will not unl.\ not become cheain'r, but are likely to
advance. ,As yet no impni-tant expansion in the movement has taken
place, but the outlook Is ilistinclly more favorable to the .\merican shipper,
and if the latter can only lii' persuaded to refrain from shipping on con-
signment. I belle\-e the linyiTs tm the other side will be brought to terms
.■il no distant period. The reduction in stocks which 1ms taken place in the
I'nlted Kingiloin ami I'lsewln-re, despite the heavy curtailment in buying,
leaves no doubt that the demand has beiui held liack purposely and that
Iiefore very long the e.visting shortage must ho made up. It will not be
rtiftieult tfi persuade the foreign users of American hardwoods to place
cuKlers as soon as they become convinced that prices will not go lower, and
the conditions here constitute an assurance that further declines are out
of the question.

Erroneous Rumor Corrected
There recently appeared a report to the effect that the North Vernon
Lumber Mills at Louisville had been succeeded by the Mutual Lumber
Company, In reply to Ibis, the company's head office. North Vernon. Ind..
advises that ;
".\ year ago last March we sold our Louisville mill and one half <if oui-
land at that point to a company incorporated as the Mutual Luniber
Company, This concern is an entirely separate organization and we have
no Interest whatsoever in their business. Our sale was an out and out
sale of the mill, land and one-half the switch. We retained at Louisville
about live acres of land, one-half interi>st in the switch and we yard and
re-handle lumber there, from our own mills at Houton. Tenn.. arid Dyers-
burg. Tenn.. and from other mills In the South as well. We have a planing
mill thoroughly (quipped with band resaw, band rips, double surfacer. and
we have recently installed a moulding machine for the manufacture of
special patterns.
"We intend to use Louisville as a concentration point for different loads
of lumber, more strongly than ever now that we have the stop-over
privilege."
W. H. Harrison Dies Suddenly
W. H. Harrison, one of the organizers, ami until a few months ago,
vice-president and treasurer of the Himmelberger-Harrison Lumber Com
pany, died suddenly at bis home in Cape Girardeau. JIo.. on the morning
of August 3, from an attack of paralysis. Mr. Harrison was 73 years of
age at the time .>f his ileath and tor over twenty years had been recognized
as one of the leading business men of his section of Missouri. In lOOo
he was made secretary and treasurer of the Himmelberger-Luce Land &
Lumber Company and in 1V>02 be became vice-president and treasurer of
the Himmeiberger-Harrison conipan.v, which was organizi-d then. He held
this position until he resigned to give his attention to other alTaIrs, Mr.
Harrison was a veteran of the Civil War, though he was only thirteen
years old when that conllict began. Before the end of the war lie .joined
Co. "H." i;>:id regiment, (ihio National Guard and was iati-r taken prisoner.
This experience so impaired his health that foII<iwing his release he was
honorably discharged from the service on Dec. 1.5. lS(i4. lie was a native

Not Ready for Receiver
II.Mtnwonn Kkcdiu) is in receijit of a letter frton 1*'. L. Hood, general
manager of tbi- Hood Chair Company, successors to tiie Loudon Chair
.Manufacturing Company, (ireeneville and Loudon. Tenn., in which Mr.
Hood answers reports that his company has be<'n jjut into receivers' hands.
.Mr. Hood says that he has been the majority stockholder for a little over
three years, during which time the minority stockholders have caused him
considerable trouble, culrainating in a lawsuit criticizing the management
of the plant. This was done, he says, notwithstanding that under his
management tlie value of their stock increased one b\indred i)er cent. He
maintains that in the suit asking that a receiver lie appointed if deemed
necessary, the pcint of issue is merely a criticism of salaries paid to
officers.
Mr. IIo'>d says his company was "never in better sha])e tiuauciflily"
and that due to his having sucees.sfully put through a deal for the pur
chase of nunor stockholders' certificates he is now the .sole owner of the
orgaidzatlon.
"Who Is Going to Start This Thing?"
H. E. Christijinsen of the General L\miber Company. Milwaukee, Wis..
asks tile above tpiestion in a letter describing the project he is sponsor-
ing for the erection of sixty modest homes in Milwaukee, which, while
well constructed, are otfered to the purchasers on a basis making it possi-
ble for the average working man to absorb the carrying charges and work
out his obligation on easy payments.
Mr. Christiansen maintains that it is logical for tin- lumbermen to
sponsor such projects, as they prhnarily are interested in tile return of
building, stating further that if each lumberman would get behind such
a movement in his own locality, the r^'sult Wijubl be tremendously bene-
ficial to the lumber industry.
Mr. Christiansen's plan is to offer well-constructed, modest homes buiil
without all of the final refinements, so situated that eacli house can have
a large plot of ground at a nominal cost. In other words, he has located
these houses in an outlying section, though easily available through regu-
lar trolley service.
These houses are made so as to sell with a half acre of ground for
.$.S,900, and apparently they are going fast. The idea is a good one and is
proving itself through sales.
Important Change in Big Southern Company
It was announced last month that reorganization coupled with change
in management had been brought about in the Lamb-Fish interests involv-
ing tile Lamb-Fish Lumber Company and the Lamb-Fish Hardwood
Company of Charleston, Miss, W. B, Burke, vice president and general
manager, who has been associated with the organization for fourteen years,
and George Land, also for years connected with the company at Charles-
ton, have severed their connections with it.
William Wilms of Chicago will direct the affairs of the company, .lohn
.Morrow continues as general superintendent of operations and E. M.
Dozier. formerly assistant sales manager, is now in charge of sales. No
announcement has as yet been made as to the future connections of Mr.
Burke, nor as to the active management of the company.
The Lamb-Fish mill is widely known as the largest single hardwoo<l
sawmill in the country and is one of the largest and most important units
in the southern manufacturing field. Its holdings In timberlands are
extensive and its agricultural developments have been truly remarkable
lor their size and efficiency.

The official report of the Iwenly-fourth annual mcelin^- oi the .Niitioual
Hardwood Lumber Association has been iniblished in a liaiidsoiiie brochure
and is now in the hand.s of the members for lilini;. The report is printed
on fine glazed paper and contains the full minutes of the meetlut;, which
means all reports, addresses and discns.sions. The center of the hoolslet
carries a two-page picture of the .annual banquet and there arc also a
number of pages of photographs of the officers and directors.
The Lumbermen's Association of Chicago is taking a referemhim on the
question of establishing a legal department. Voting blanks sent out some
days ago are now being received and counted. The plan already has the
unanimous endorsement of the directors and it is expected the members
will okeh it. It is estimated thai the cost to the members will be one
dollar a year each and the plan is to turn the work over to a prominent
Chicago law firm, whieli will give counsel on all legal matters affecting
the association.
The many interests involved, including the public, are daily expecting
a decision from Federal Judge K. M. Landis fixing the wages of the build
ing trades in Chicago, according to the agreetnent between the .Associated
liuilders and the Building Construction pjinployors' Association. Judge
Landis is withholding his decision on the question of wages until the con

BUFFALO
The .-VUegany State Park, consisting of several thousand acres in
Cattaraugus County and extending to the Pennsylvania line, was officially
dedicated on July 30. A large number of persons were present from
Buffalo and towns near by. The program imduded addresses by members
of the park commission and b.v Dean Moon of the state college of forestry,
Syracuse. In the evening, Seneca Indians entertained the visitors by some
of their tribal dances, accompanied by music from a Seneca band.
The park region consists of 05,000 acres, which will eventually all be
purchased by the state. It is covered by forests of second growth, thi.-
lumber companies having been so active there in former years that the
nnmber of big trees is comparatively few. The ground is diversified and

CINCINNATI

The outlook for a hca\ier d<'inand for hardwoods here as well as else-
where has been improved by the action of unions In the building trades
in proposing a redui'tion of ten percent In pay to stimulate construction
.■lud thereby encourage^ the freer use of lumber along with all other build-
ing materials. There is only one hitch, this being the continued opposi-
tion of the ijricklayers. who still demami .$1.25 an iiour for an eight-hour
■ lay : but the expectation is entertained that this obstacle will be overcome.
The ciintractors intimate that the cut of ten percent may not suffice
lo get building operations started, and it is indicated that a further reduc-
tion will be demanded. The prospect, however, is that building activities
will not be retarded or altogether stopped by a general strike. .

INDIANAPOLIS
H. T. (IriffitU. sales manager of the T'dell works, makers here of talk-
ing machine cat>iuGts, says in regard to business : "That the business
machinery of the country is rapidly becoming energized was liemonstrated
without a doubt by the buying at the Grand Rapids and Chicago markets
last month. These two were truly stabilizing markets. Dealers and manu-
facturers agreed that liquidation was over. Furnitui-e prices have reached
rock bottom. In many oases gooils were sold to dealers ar below actual
production costs. Retailers can not expect lower pri<es.
"On the (ither hand, it is equally true that conditiuns puint to a rap-
idly quickening demand which soon will overtake the demnralizert produc-
tion of furniture in this country and soon lead to a condition where it
will be hard to get goods. There isn't a factory in rbe cnuntry with a
surplus on hand. You may find here and there some faetories with talking
machine cabinets or special lines of one kind or antdber. where they have
stock on band, but as a general condition the manufacturers have been
unwilling to work very far ahead of their actual orders.
'Retail dealers at the shows report a good six mouths' business. There
was hardly one who did not say that his business up until July was far
ahead of what he actually thought it would be. They have been buying
from hand to mouth, however, and they must quicken their purchases for
fall and winter trade. Many of the dealers went into the market and
bought in large quantities. Some of these said that they could see a
shortage in two or three months. Others bought for only thirty to sixty
days' needs,
"It is pointed out that many dealers this year are making the mistake
of merely buying dimensions when the furniture industry as a whole is
endeavoring to foster better furniture movement. Price isn't everything
in furniture, although every one admits that it is of particular impor-
tance this year. The quality of the products by all means should I>e
taken into consideration along with the price."

has a big hardwood plant at Bouita and expects to increase its operating
activities to a large extent by means of the increase in its capitalization.
Two of the largest hardwood lumber orders ever placed for shlpmeni
in the southern .\rkansas or north Louisiana territory were placed a few
days ago when two concerns of the Helena. Ark., region signed up to
make a shipment of approximately 1,000,000 feet each. The hardwood
market for that region, which has been marking time for several months
past, received quite a boost from such orders, which were mostly for oak
in Nos. 1, 2 and 3 common.
The Roseland Veneer and Package Company at Koseland, La., has begun

upon which the company has taken out a patent.
The Bailey-Rood Box Company has been organized at Laurel. .Miss., and
is soon to begin the construction of a .'S.'JO.OOO box manufacturing plant
and planing mill in that vicinity. The management hopes to have liotli
plants completed some time in October. The company will specialize in
the manufacture of boxes for the butter industry, but it will also make
practically all other kinds of boxes. It will require about S.OOO.Oon
feet of low grade hardwoods annually in the box industry. Officers are :

The automobile industry is in the market eonservatividy. The llooring and

Ct'ntinuani'cs of building operations, which were exjiected to ne halted
by another row between union carpenters and the contracting carpenters'
organization, will aid thi' movement of hardwood lumber into consumption
during the remainder of the building season. Such at least is the opinion
of leaders in this brancdi of the trade, following what looks like a settle-
ment in that branch of the building industry affecting hardwood materials.
Carpenters are signing independent contracts with contractors, and the
latter have taken a stand against unions or those bodies that will dis-
criminate against the individual for signing such agreement. The imme-
diate result is a furthering of building activity, ami while hardwood
demand has not improved at once, there is prospect that it will yet this
year. Automobile and allied interests point out tlieir active season is
over for this year, and there will be a waiting attitude until next year
shows what it will bring forth. Hence little material moving in that
direction. Other manufacturing Interests are equally eonsorvative. There

Grand Rapids Makes a New Start
Furniture Market with Its New Designs, New Finishes and New Prices Attracts
Record Attendance of Buyers; Oak Comes Back with a Rush
New designs, new woods, new prices, a record attendance
characterized the Grand Rapids furniture market for July which
closed on the twenty-eighth. The much sought stabilization of
prices came with the market, also, so that in general the season
was considered very satisfactory. Business done was not, or
course, nearly as heavy as that done in the hectic days of 1919
and 1920, but dealers generally bought their needs and the man-
ufacturers who offered new merchandise at rock bottom prices
secured practically all the business they had a right to expect,
while those who did not get their prices down or who failed to
bring out the design that took with the buyers are expecting to
do a big business on the road this fall.
The new woods used are exceedingly interesting. Satin wood
both of the East Indian and the West Indian varieties has been
turned into rrost beautiful suites by some of the manufacturers.
Hardwood was used in one suite by one manufacturer and a
beautiful effect was produced. I hen the "come back'* of oak is
such that it is almost like a new wood. Its treatment and the
manner of usage bids fair to give it a return to popularity.
Many manufacturers have brought into the country a great
quantity of antique furniture picked -up in France, Belgium, Eng-
land, Italy and Spain. The market is showing a great run on this
character of furniture. All this furniture, according to the orig-
inals calls for oak and it seems not at all unlikely that oak may
be in considerable demand before long. More than that, the use
of oak in inte'rior finish is popular again so that a new market is
opened for it here.
Prices as fixed at the opening of the market remained firm
through to the end. Indeed buyers seemed well satisfied with the
low prices that had been quoted and expressed the desire only that
they become estabilized. No attempt was made to break the
market and the prices quoted during that four weeks will probably
hold until the next market. In January, how^ever, it is not at all
unlikely that prices will rise a bit for the price of lumber threatens
an advance and wages have not as yet been cut nor is there any
present disposition to cut them much, if any.
New Attendance Record
Attendance in the July season set a new record. The total num-
ber of buyers officially registered in the market was 2,265 against
2,244 for the previous high record in July. 1^19, and 1,930 for
the July season of 1920. The number of lines on exhibition was
alro greater than ever before, the total running above 500 and
many lines were unable to find space in which to show.
The situation has brought the Grand Rapids Market association
to a realization of the need for still another exposition building.
Most of the Grand Rapids factories display their lines in factory
show rooms and there are left six large buildings to accommodate
the lines from outside Grand Rapids. These buildings have been
crowded full for the last several seasons and this season some of
the old lines which had given up their spaces when they thought
they were sold up for a year or two ahead were unable to get back
and so were also unable to show.
Two buildings are now under consideration as prospective ex
position buildings. Also there is a proposal to erect a new one
for this purpose exclusively. Just what will be the outcome of
the proposals can only be guessed at, but if the next January sea-
son shows so heavy a demand for space as the last season did
there is little question but that another building will by some means
be provided.
immediately following the close of the market came an an-
nouncement of interest to the furniture world. Burt A. Hatha-
way, for a long time secretary-treasurer of the John Widdicomb
Company of Grand Rapids secured an interest in the Estey Man-
ufacturing Company of Owosso and was elected president ana
manager of the concern. Charles E. Rigley, who for fifty years
has been the moving genius of the Estey Manufacturing Company,
celebrating that half century event last July Fourth, made the an-
nouncement in the change of management. Mr. Rigley still re-
tains controlling interest in the company but both he and his son,
Charles E. Rigley, jr., will retire from active participation in the
management of the company. The John Widdicomb Company at
the same time announced that for the present, at least, there
would be no change in the personnel of the management of that
plajit.
Change Wins Success
Not a little interest was manifested in the market in the suc-
cess of the new Grand Rapids Furniture Shops. This is the
former John D. Raab Chair Company bought last spring by Mar-
tin J. Dregge, J. Hampton Hoult and others who also control the
Luce Furniture Company and the Stone-Hoult Company. The
Grand Rapids Furniture Shops changed the line completely, going
into the manufacture of living room and hall furniture. This
furniture is being cut in quantities and turned out as medium
priced merchandise. The prices quoted on the line in the July
market, however, were far below medium prices and the result
was that the factory did a tremendous business, getting off to a
flying start which seems to spell success for the new line and the
new management.
Grand Rapids manufacturers as a result of the July market will
have plenty of work to keep the factories running to capacity until
the Janviary market opens. Some of the outside factories did not
do as well but expect to make up on the road what they failed to
do in the market. Dealers showed an inclination to buy. They
w^ere demanding new furniture at low prices but when they found
these two elements they were not at all slow in placing their
orders. Most of them declared their feeling that business w^as
going to improve during the fall and that by next spring the rise
in business would be most pronounced. They are ready and w^ill-
ing and anxious to prepare for this situation and the furniture
manufacturers who did not get all the orders they may have desired
in the market feel certain they will be able to make good on the
road.
The Hope Veneer company has been incorporated at Hope
Villa. La.
At Butternut, Wis., the veeneer plant completed last spring, is
now operating, with Theodore Ross as manager. Mr. Ross was
formerly at Park Falls.
The Charles Kaiper's Sons Company, furtniture manufacturers
of this city, will establish a branch factory in Covington, Ky. The
company has leased a three-story building on Greenup between
Second and Third streets. Officers in the furniture concern said
that they would take possession of the building in the near future
and refit it for their use.
The Bacon-Underwood Veneer Company, of Sockton, Ala., an-
nounces a change in their name to the Bacon-McMillan Veneer
Company. All stock and management remain as heretofore.

Strength of Screw Fastenings in Plywood
If the screw fastenings in plywood construction are to be as
strong as the plywood itself, it is important to adapt the size of
screw, spacing, and margin to the particular species and thick-
ness of plywood used. Tests made at the Forest Products Labora-
tory have shown that the commonly-used plywood species may be
divided into the following groups, all woods in any one group re-
quiring the same screw fastening to develop maximum strength.
GROUP \
Low Density
Basswood Hemlock
Cedar, Spanish Pine, sugar
Cottonwood Pine, white
Cypress, bald Poplar, yellow
Douglas fir Redwood
Fir, true Spruce, Sitka
GROUP 2
Medium Density
Ash, black Hackberry
Ash, pumpkin Magnolia
Elm, white Mahogany
Gum, black Maple, soft
Gum, cotton Sycamore
Gum, red Walnut, black
GROUP 3
High Density
Ash, white Cherry, black
Beech Elm, cork
Birch Maple, hard
The screw sizes, margin, and spacing for use with each species
and plywood thickness will be found in the following table. The
gauge is the smallest that can be used with the thickness specified
and not cause failure through breaking of the screw when the full
strength of the plywood is developed. The length of screw is the
shortest which will prevent the screw from pulling out before the
full ply\vood strength is reached. The margin is the smallest dis-
tance from edge of hole to edge of plywood which will insure
against failure by shear. The spacing is the distance from center
to center of screw holes which gave maximum strength per linear
inch.

About equally good results were obtained with flat-headed
screws without washers and round-headed screws with washers.
Round-headed screws without washers proved an inferior means
of fastening. The spacing given in the table is for screws in a
single row, but staggering is recommended wherever possible.
in the tests the size of frame members to which the plywood
might be attached was necessarily a secondary consideration, and
the block of wood in which the screw points were held was simply
made large enough to prevent failure occurring in it. Until fur-
ther information is obtained, designers must take particular care
that the frame is not split or weakened through the use of the size
of screw and the spacing necessary to make the fastening as strong

Care and Use of the Hygrometer in Kiln Drying
The correct use of the hygrometer is of vital importance in the
interpretation and consequent regulation of kiln conditions. Dry-
ing conditions altered because of a false conception of the condi-
tions present often result in honeycomb and other highly detri-
mental degrade. Several basic practices are suggested by the
Forest Products Laboratory for the proper handling of hygrometers.
Calibration: Hygrometers should never be assumed as register-
ing the correct reading until their accuracy has been established.
It is not at all unusual for a thermometer to register a few degrees
higher or lower than the true temperature. Each thermometer
of a hygrometer should be checked against a standard ther-
mometer of known accuracy over the range of temperatures an-
ticipated in its use. Corrections for the several temperatures may
thus be determined if inaccuracy exists. Checking should be done
with the bulbs of the standard and the tested thermometers close
together and in the same medium and temperature of medium.
The correction factor for a thermometer at a certain reading be-
ing known, it is simple enough to determine the true temperature.
Filling and Care: Hygrometer reservoirs should be filled with
pure w^ater only. The open-top type of reservoir is easily filled,
but the inverted-tube type often presents difficulties. The latter
type may be filled if submerged horizontally in a pail of water with
the water level slightly above the well opening. Other methods
of filling ^uich a tube are by means of a wash bottle or small bent-
stem funnel. In any case the body should be dropped below the
mouth level.
It is important that the silk or muslin covering of the wet bulb
be kept in good condition at all times. At least a small amount
of solid material is always left in the meshes after evaporation, and
sooner or later such a deposit impedes the transfusion of moisture.
It is because of this that pure or distilled water should aWays be
used in the reservoir and that the wick should frequently be
changed.
Placing the Hygrometer: The hygrometer should be placed at
the exact points where information as to conditions is desired. Do
not place it near a door or a wall, or where it will be subjected to
direct radiation from the heating coils, as conditions at these
points are probably not representative. To obtain representative
conditions take an average of several readings in different parts of
the kiln.
Taking the Readings: In reading the wet-bulb thermometer
care should be taken that there is sufficient air circulation to give
the maximum evaporation rate from the bulb covering. .-\t low
temperatures, i. e., up to 120 degrees, F., there should be an air
velocity of at least fifteen feet per second. At the higher tempera-
tures this rate is not quite so essential. -A thorough fanning of
the air about the wet bulb is usually required. The lowest wet-
bulb reading for any air condition is the one desired.

'Mt^XM&AH ANCIENT LGYRJ
R
A BIT OF HISTORY
ECENT research discloses some altogether wonderful,
almost startling, facts relative to hoth Plywood and
Veneer.
The principle is as old as the oldest records of mankind.
Egypt knew it and practiced it well. Old King Rameses
had his special household furniture and cabinets built of
Plywood as far back as the year 1250 B. C.
I'he Hiiredii dii Roi, the most wonderful piece of furniture
in all history, was built of Plywood. Napoleon's private
w riting desk, carried with him on all his marches and called
his ''cahinet (ic canipn^fnc'' was made altogether of Plywood.
These facts are interesting and instructixe, but not suffi-
cient. The modern, up-to-the-minute manufacturer w ants
something more — something in the present tense — some-
thing he can cash. And right here in New Albany, we have
it for him, in what we venture to claim is the most scientif-
ically exact Plyw ood Plant in America. We say this because
we believe it's true. Our best thought and (nir best efforts
have been spent to make it true.
FOR instance, we might havebeen
content to follow the crowd in
making the old style face veneer
joint with the ordinary four bit cut-
ter head, but we wanted 'a better
joint. " We got it, and our customers
have blessed us ever since.
We originated the si.xteen bit cut-
ur head for a \eneer jointer, and
Herman I'letcher, the old tool maker
cif Louisville, made our hrst head b\
hand from solid tool steel, and the
joints made by this sixteen bit cutter
liead were real-for-sure joints — the
same kind of joints we are making
today.
WE have originated many other
improvements of equal im-
portance to Plywood users,
which we are going to tell you about
from month to month.
We want our customers and our
friends to know the real inside of
what we are doing in New Albany
to make Plywood the most exten-
sively useful and most highl\' service-
able product f)f its kind in the \\ (irld.
This is the first modest introduc-
tion of our series of ctlnccitioiuil (tdvcr-
tiseiiunls on Plyuood to appear before
the year is out, right here in the

Evansville Furniture Plants Busy
Furniture manufacturers at Evansville, Ind., continue to take
an optimistic view of the situation and believe that it is only a
question of time until there is a big improvement in trade. Most
of the large furniture, chair, desk and table factories of that city
are still being operated on an average of 50 hours a vi'eek or
more. A few days ago the plant of the Wemyss Furniture Com-
pany started to run on a 54 hours basis. Edward Wemyss, man-
ager of the company was in the Chicago market and secured a
nice line of orders, most of them being from the east and as soon
as he returned to Evansville he gave orders for the plant to work
54 hours a week. Things are now humming at this plant. The
other Evansville manufacturers who secured business at the Chi-
cago market are speeding up their plants and turning out the
furniture in order to fill orders promptly.
The Evansville manufacturers are looking forward to their semi-
annual stove and furniture market that will be held August 29 to
September 3, and they believe that the sales will be quite satis-
factory and that the retail trade will be greatly stimulated by
the holding of this market. The committee on arrangements is
now busy sending out literature advertising the market.
The European market for desks made in Evansville is show-
ing decided signs of revival, according to officials of the Globe-
Bosse-World Furniture Company, which ships its product world
wide. Early in the year the factory had a brisk demand from
London, but the unfavorable status of the foreign exchange has
been holding the foreign demands in check, the officials say.
With solution of the war debt payment problem seemingly nearer,
foreign buyers are again evincing an interest in United States
made goods, it is pointed out. In shipping desks to Europe, the
desk factory at Evansville ships them in sections, or knock-down
form. About 200 desks can be shipped in this form in a single car.
.Announcement was made a few days ago to the effect that
Harry W. Sabel, who for a number of years has been secretary
and manager of the Evansville Furniture Company, has resigned
and had gone to Louisville, Ky., where he had purchased the plant
of the Evansville Box and Crate Company. He has taken charge
of this company and will move his family from Evansville to
Louisville at a later date.
Work is progressing nicely on the new plant of the Caldemeyer
Furniture Company at Evansville. This is a new concern for that
city and is composed of Evansville capitalists. .Although it will
be the smallest furniture factory in Evansville. quality products
are to be manufactured there. It is expected that the plant will
be in operation within a short time.
George O. Worland, manager of the Evansville Veneer Com-
pany is of the opinion that the fall will bring in a larger volume
of business than the summer months have. He says the fur-
niture trade is going to get better and this will naturally help
the veneer business to a large extent. The plant of the Evansville
Veneer Company is increasing its yardage and has enough logs in
the yard at the present time to cut 100,000,000 square feet of
veneer.
Leaves $5,000 for a Fountain
The will of Julius Joseph, a furniture manufacturer at Shelby-
ville, !nd., who died a few weeks ago, w-as recently probated in
the Shelby Circuit Court. The estate is estimated to be worth
$150,000. The bulk of the estate is bequeathed to his widow,
Mrs. Millie Kahn Joseph, with the exception of several be-
quests to public institutions, the largest of which is for S5,000 for
the erection of a fountain to be known as Joseph's fountain which
the municipal corporation of Shelbyville is to erect in the center
of the public square.

The operations of the Wood-
Mosaic Company function
with precision because every
step has been part of a well-
conceived plan. The basic
thought is a plant for each
type of production. Thus,
every foot of Wood-Mosaic
hardwood lumber and ve-
neers in walnut, oak and
poplar is produced in a plant
designed especially for the
manufacture of each class of
product.
This holds from the logs,
which are the careful se-
lection of a trained corps
of twenty timber buyers,
through the final operations
of handling the manufac-
tured product, special equip-
ment having been provided
for each unit of manufacture
so that the lumber and ve-
neer product may be always
correctly dried and further
prepared for consumer's use.
We solicit the opportunity of
demonstrating the value to
you of such an organization.

How Many Feet of Panels Do You
Get from a Thousand Feet of Veneers?
IT'OR two generations Bachman has been supplying veneers that
*■ will lay fifty per cent over the average. That is no boast — there
are five sound reasons why we can do it year after year :
( I ) Our logs are absolutely all from Indiana — hence no costly defects in the veneer.
(2) We use no flitches except our own manufacture. Thus we are able to care-
fully select our veneer logs.
(3) All veneers are cut full thickness. This gives plenty of wood for sanding and
minimizes breakage in handling.
(4) The sawed stock is so smooth that it can scarcely be told from sliced.
(5) Our stock is never either sorted or picked over.
Our cut runs principally 1/16" and 1/20" quarter-sawed white oak, but includes
sliced quartered oak; sliced walnut and butts and sliced gum. We are now able to offer
to careful buyers the same old-fashioned service that has been the pride of our business
for two generations.

The above is not an announcement of ordinary
facilities for veneer and plywood manufacture. We
offer lo the trade a deluxe product manufactured in
the most extensive and complete plant of its kind in
the country. This business was founded in St. Louis
forty years ago on an humble, but sound basis. It
has progressed steadily since, the second of two
thoroughly modern factories having been completed
in St. Louis last year.
Our product is universally accepted as a standard
in plywood production because this business was
founded practically in the infancy of commercial ply-
wood manufacture and much of the progress in per-
fecting this product is attributable to the thorough
organization and remarkably complete manufactur-
ing facilities of this company.
Your business may wisely be intrusted to our hands.

How Much Steam for Your Dry Kiln?
One seldom hears the word economical applied to dry kilns and
their operation. Today the cry is for greater and still greater
efficiency — kilns that will dry the lumber in the least possible
time: methods and schedules that will reduce warping, checking
and similar troubles to an irreducible minimum. When these
desirable features have been secured, every one, from the factory
owner or manager down, pats himself on the back and appears
to be well-satisfied.
It is only natural to suppose that efficiency and economy go
hand in hand that when efficiency has been secured the kiln is
on an economical basis. If results are the criterion, or we judge
solely from the time required to reduce the moisture content, the
quality and condition of the stock as it comes out, a moment's
thought will be sufficient to convince one that this need not be
so. A kiln might be operated so as to secure almost ideal results,
yet n^ight be consuming twice the quantity of steam that it would
require if properly constructed and equipped and the equipment
all working satisfactorily. In dry kiln operation we are all too
prone to judge solely by results and forget all about costs.
Steam engineers have established the figure $1.75 as the basic
cost of 1,000 lbs. of steam. Of course this figure will vary in
different plants, due to varying conditions, and in many instances
will be found to be much too low. If a drykiln consumes, say
75,000 lbs. of steam per day, where 35,000 lbs. could and should
give the same effectiveness, then, regardless of the results secured,
it can hardly be said to be on an efficiency basis, and certainly
not on an economical one, for on the above basis over $50 worth
of steam is consumed daily from which no return at all is secured.
How much steam is your drykiln consuming?
In this article 1 will not touch on the operation of the kiln, or
the fact that a careless or ignorant operator may leave a run in
for hours and even days longer than is necessary. I will also
disregard the time factor in loading and unloading, for considerable
time and money may be sa^d or lost in this simple operation, and
will deal briefly with certain factors that reflect directly on the
steam consumption per day or run. Steam losses or excessive
steam consumption may be due to a number of causes, such as
loss of heat from radiation or poor construction, or to the fact
that the steam may be rushing through the kiln without giving
up its heat.
In the modern double-walled brick or hollow-tile drykiln the
loss of heat by radiation need not be considered, but one often
finds kilns of wood construction where the walls are single-ply
sheathing, with an odd knot-hole to aid in its ventilation. In such
a kiln — and there are many such — the loss of heat by radiation
is a considerable item. It should be remembered that this loss is
going on steadily, night and day, as long as the kiln is in operation,
and that this attempt to heat the surrounding atmosphere is costing
hard-earned money. In constructing or remodeling any type of
kiln, every effort should be made to insulate the walls and roof
so that all the heat generated may be kept at work removing the
moisture from the lumber. The saving thus effected will amply
repay for any time and expenditure involved.
Another source of heat loss is the method of ventilation — the
size and location of the ventilators and air-ducts. To entirely
too many, a drykiln is merely a room or rectangular building with
a few pipes on the floor or along the walls, and perhaps a ventilator

Ij^HAT does it mean to you as a buyer to
■ ■ have implicit confidence in the source of
your most important raw material supply?
For instance, all informed buyers recognize
the true superiority of northern grown hard-
wood lumber and veneers— the product in
which we specialize. Big customers stay on
our books for years because it is easy for
them to determine that we never have cut
anything but the genuine northern grown logs
in oak, walnut, maple, ash and other major
species. The same sincerity maintains with
our rotary cut poplar offering. And withal is
that correctness of manufacture and honesty
of contact with customers that has been the
bulwark of this business for over a half
century. It will profit you to know us better.

or two to induce circulation. The size and location of such
ventilators is given slight consideration, except that they are made
large enough to handle a sufficient volume of air. Thus one often
finds large open air-ducts under the pipes, and large open ventilators
in the roof or upper walls. The result is that an excessive quantity
of steam is required to maintain an adequate temperature, for
too great a quantity of cold air is taken in and too much warm
air is allowed to escape. I have been in kilns where a few holes
in the roof, and similar holes under the pipes, was the method of
ventilation adopted.
The question of ventilation is a rather involved one, for not
only must an adequate circulation be secured, but it should be
secured with a minimum loss of heat. The size, location, type
and control of ventilators and air-ducts must be given careful
consideration.
Another important feature in kiln construction is the type and
fit of the doors. The ideal door is a tight-fitting, solidly constructed,
three-ply wooden door, hung on smooth-running carriers. A door
of this type is heat-proof, in that little, if any, heat escapes through
the joints, and it may be opened quickly and rolled out of the
way. The canvas curtain, however, seems to find favor in many
localities. A good double canvas curtain, held in place by battens,
makes a very satisfactory door, but a large quantity of heat will
escape through a single-ply curtain or a light, loosely-fitting wooden
door. Single-ply curtains are often found w^ith holes and rents,
which cannot help but reduce the temperature of the kiln; this
indicates carelessness and inefficiency. A person might as well
throw a few dollars away each day as continue to operate a kiln
with poorly-fitting, leaky doors or curtains.
Another drawback encountered with poor doors and badly-
designed, poorly-located ventilators, is that to a certain extent the
control of the kiln is taken out of the hands of the operator. He

opened and closed quickly, and which would not allow so large a
volume of warm air to escape when open, a large part of this
loss could be averted. It might also result in closer supervision,
for an operator would feel more like running into a kiln if he did
not have to n-.ove a big, cumbersome door every time he wanted
to enter.
Every kiln should have a steam-trap in the return line, to allow
the condensation to run back and at the same time keep the steam
from blowing through. Even though a trap is installed, there does
not seem to be any way of making sure that it is working properly
at all times. Instances could be cited where the trap was permitting
practically a full head of steam to flow past. Again, the globe
valves on the by-pass pipes may not seat properly, permitting
steam to escape. Such irregularities can account for a large
amount of steam in the run of a day, often as much as 50 per
cent of the total requirements of the kiln. It is not sufficient that
such installations be made the steam-trap and by-pass valves
should be inspected often, to make certain that they are functioning
properly, and a record chart kept. Daily tests are best, but at
least a thorough inspection should be made once a week. If steam
is worth .anything at all, it is worth conserving and utilizing to
the utmost.
Some one may ask how they can check up and ascertain whether
their kiln is on an economical as well as efficient basis. This is a
very difficult question to answer. They will probably have to
consult a dry kiln expert or a practical steam engineer and find out
how much steam is required to maintain a certain temperature in
a kiln of a certain size, with so many feet of pipe installed, using
live or exhaust steam at such and such a pressure. Such a problem
is not so difficult for a practical steam engineer. When the
amount ot steam required is known, it simply resolves itself into
a case of determining how much steam is being fed to the kiln.
This can only be accomplished by metering the flow of steam
being fed to the kiln or checking up the steam consumption
through the process of elimination. There are a number of
practical meters on the market for this purpose.
If steam is worth $1.75 per 1,000 lbs., it is worth while being
sure that it is all being utilized. How much steam is your kiln
wasting?

may set his valves and secure the drying conditions he has in
mind, only to find, a few hours later, that a change in outside
temperature or a change in the direction or velocity of the wind
has upset all his calculations. A kiln, to give satisfactory, uniform
results, should at all times be under direct control of the operator.
This can only be secured when it is entirely independent of outside
conditions. Needltss to say, such conditions do not obtain when
light or poorly-fitting doors are used.
While on the subject of kiln doors, have you provided a smaller
door into each compartment, for the use of the operator? To
operate a kiln with any certainty of success, the operator must
know the condition of the stock and conditions in the kiln at all
times, and this means frequent trips into the kiln. If, every time
the operator wants to go into a compartment, he must open the
large door, think of the amount of heat which escapes each time
it is opened. If a small door were provided, one that could be
Plywood Is Chief Material Used in British
Flying Boat
The description of an all-wood hydro-aeroplane, recently car-
ried in the Manchester (England) Guardian Commercial, is of
interest here because of the fact that a plywood, known in England
as consuta plywood, was the chief material entering into the con-
struction of the flying boat. This plywood was used for the fuse-
lage, hull and wings, no fabric having been employed in the con-
struction of the boat. That this construction is a success has
already been demonstrated in private trials by the makers, S. E.
Saunders & Company, Ltd., East Cowes. The machine is a large
one with a wing spread of 68 ft. 3 in., and is capable of a speed of
42 to 110 miles. It is regarded as a good vehicle for trips between
various towns along the coast of England as well as between
British ports and cities on the Continent. The boat is amphibian in
that it can ascend and light with equal facility on land or water.
The following is a description of the plywood used in the construc-
tion of the machine:
"The consuta plywood has developed from the copper-sewn
methods of boat construction. Messrs. Saunders have used it for
twenty years in motor-boats, life-boats, and boats of all descriptions.
The plywood is made up of layers, arranged with the grain non-
parallel, cemented together, and then lockstitched. The stitches
run lengthways in rows of 1 '/^-inch pitch, and may be counter-
sunk, so that a smooth exterior is possible. It is manufactured in
sheets 8 feet wide and up to 60 feet long, and in thicknesses from
one-eighth up to five-eighths.

Traile is n<i\v vdy dull and the market Is inelinc-d to be weak even for
firsts and seconds. Whelher this is wholly t<i be attributed to the present
time beiuK always one of dull traile here in lumber of all itinds. or whether
it is due to other causes is wholly eonjeetural. It true that the credit
situation is not quite risilt and that there is not much of any house ()r
other construction and that manufacturing consumers are not purchasin.u
very much in the way of hardwoods.
The woakeniny: in firsts and set-ontls is rather a surprise here. For some
tinn' the common j;rades have l)een weak, due to accumulation, but now
tlie weakness here is noted in the better snules, so that the past fort-
night has seen substantial reductions, to an average extent of about $10,
in maple, in birch, both red ami sap, in beech and in plain white oak.
Also trade is now in that state where most of the business that passes
seems to be done via the con<-ession mute. There are plenty who hold
and will not make concessions, and. of course. Insist on the higher prices,
but they are doing very little business. Uuyers are exhibiting consider-
able timidity about purchasing anil search the whole market over before
making a deal. Now and then one finds a large concern reporting a big
increase in sales. Hut this is generally due to getting luckily a couple of
larpe orders, rather than a large number of ordinary ones. Though recently
there was quite an inquiry for house finish, that inquiry has not as yet
bnumht any orders, and has been afti-r all rather a disappointment. Still
an increase in finish trade is looked lor toward the fall as a natural
4-oneomitant of a building boom then. The bulk of trade at the present
time here is with the hanlwood yards and the furniture people. The
latter are not buying what they were a short time ago. There is no
improvement at all with the chair makers, piano makers, musical instru-
ment makers, implement handle people or automobile and truck body
builders. There is not any better business with the railroads. The export
trade is practically nil. The fact is that consumers are drawing from
their piles almost to the last board rather than buy unless they are offered
or find after long .searching a pretty good bargain. This is miilsunimer
dull trade with a vengeance added, it wnubl seem.
BALTIMORE
The statoincut that some i!npriiv<'ini*iit in tlie hardwood situation has
talten place woulil probably evoke eoiisidei'ahle dissent from various meni-
liers of the trade: and yet some of those wlm are not generally classed as
(■nntirmed optimists are giving this as. their view, so thai the claim at least
merit.s respectful attention. The gain for the better, it is explained,
must be sought in greater stability of the marl\et rather than in au expan-
sion of the movement. This latter remains very small, as a matter of fact.
Some intjuiries are coming out, and it is hoped that a portion of these
will result in business, but buyers have not so far sliown a disposition to
add materially to their holdings, and there are plenty of indications that
the actual re(|uircnients continue to cut no important figure. Up to the
])resent time the owners of mills ari' not tinding conditions such as to
impel them to contemplali' a resiimptiun of manufacturing operations. In
fact, within tlie last few weelis there have been reports of mills which
had until then continued to run being closed for indefinite periods, the
reason given being that the prices ol)tainal>le for stoclts did not cover the
cost of production. Stocks that brought $S(I during and after the war,
it is said, are being offered now for .|lll ami even less, and owners of tim-
ber take the view that it is more advantageous for them to conserve their
sluinpage, which will gain in value, than to cut timber and not only
make n direct loss; liut imnr payment of additional taxes. But a careful
surve.v, with consideration of all the factors involved, will also lead to
the conclusion that the basic fonditi()ns are nmking lieailway toward a
sounder state of affairs which holds out a prospect of olTering a secure
foundation for the ti'ade structure to be erected thereon.
.\ more favorable view is being taken of the outlook abroad, the refusal
of buyers there to place orders having resulted, especially in the United
Kingdom, in .such a depletion of stocks that a positive scarcity may be
said to prevail. .Altogether, despite the unijnunising superficial aspect of
things, a note of hopefulness has crept into the utterances of the hard
wood men, and this feeling can scarcely fail to have a good eflfect upon
business in <Uie time.

tc'iizcd Ijy caution with iiurchasers inclined to lioiii out tor concessions,
though there seems to be more firmness in the tra<le than could be ot)servcd
not so long ago. Several lumliermen say that there are a few orders float-
ing around and a few export inquiries, although tlie demand from wagon,
auto, vehicle, implement and musical instrument industries Is quiet. Eall-
roads are beginiiing to look about and the indications point to their appear-
ance in the marltet shortly. The flooring trade still continues to be the
bright feature of the trade. Planing mills continue to take a fair volume
of material, as there is more small residence work under way than Is
commonly thought. The better grades, principally (irsts and seconds and
No. 1 common, are given a fair play. The freight rates, dealers say, are
lireventing them from moving lower grades of hardwood. The sagging
in hardwood prices has virtually stopi)ed and indications are that a stiffen-
ing may be noted before long. While the volume of business during the
month of .Tuly was not up to expectations, dealers are not discouraged,
because in normal times they contend that business is rather slow during
the summer. Manufacturers say that they will be well pleased if they
are able to hold their own during this month. Now that the July furniture
exhibits are over, and from reports they were a success, manufacturers
.Tnd wholesale alike are looking forward for some business from this In-
dustry. Generally speaking, conditions are not as bad as they were «ix
weeks ago, although there is considerable room (or improvement.
INDIANAPOLIS
Tiittlo change can be noted in market conditions with the exception
that uppers are getting scarcer and the demand appears to be slightly
stronger than it was a couple of weeks ago. Tlu' furniture factortefi
here are gradually increasing their production. Rt-taibTs are doing what
may safely be called a phenomenal business in sash, doors and floorings and
interior trim. It is doubtful if ever before In the history of the city has
there been such a demand on the retail trade for hardwoods. Virtually
seventy-five per cent of the record house construction that is going on in
the city calls for hardwood finishes, most of the dwellings being erected
in the exclusive north side section of the city. Box manufacturers report
a slight increase in business and most of them appear to be working fairly
well. The situation in the music factories is unchanged, thougb recent
orders should cause an increase.
EVANSVILLE
It is not expected that August will bring In anything like a normal
volume of business. The hardwood lumber manufacturers of Eransville
and vicinity say that ordinarily both July and August are dull months.
The volume of business done in July was not large and August has started
in about like July. There Is some business, of course, and manufacturers
are fighting hard for trade, but it is not expected there will be any change
to speak of in the situation until after the first of September and some
of the manufacturers say that they are not expecting to see anything big
after that date. The number of unemployed men and women in Evansville
is said to be less than six months ago, but there can not be any denial
that there are still some people in this city who are out of work or who
are working on short time. Collections have improved little if any. There
is a feeling of uncertainty and there is no plunging. In fact, people are
buying just what they feel they must have. Logs are moving more freely
than they were a few weeks ago. Prices of logs are rather high. Lumber
prices have changed but little during the past month or two. The retail
lumber trade has not changed any to speak of during the past month.
Sash and door men say their business has been rather slow. The general
outlook for trade is some brighter than it was at the first of the present
year, according to the best informed manufacturers.
SOUTH BEND
While the hardwood market is fairly quiet here on the lower grades
of oak, gum, etc., yet there is a good demand for the higher grades. No. 1
common and PAS. While there is practically no business on the lower
grades the mills are not accepting any of the low offers being made. It is
a fact that Xo. 2 and No. 3 common hardwoods are not bringing the cost
of production and the mills take the attitude that they would rather **feed
it to the worms" than take the offers that are "floating around" because
these offers, after paying production and liandling costs, does not leave
them anything.
Inquiries are coming in more freely and it is very evident that sojne of
the largest buyers are going to place some business shortl.v.
Some business is being placed in this territory at Ibe following tfelivered
prices :

On thing seems certain : The lower grades. No. *J and No. 3 common,
cannot go lower unless freight rates are reduced con.viderably.

The hardwood market continues rather quiet. There appears to be
considerable difference of view on the part of membtrs of the trade, how-

ever, some reportiug an incroaso in orders and Inquiries nnd others being
just as einiibutir in the Btati'iiicnt that there Is niarkfd decrease in both.
It is generally agreed that mixed car orders constitute a notal)ie feature
of tile sitmition and this is aeiepted as bearing out the view that stocks of
lumber in the hands of consuming inlei-ests are running very low. It is
also agree! that autiuuobile manufacturers arc Increasing their uur-
chases, esijccially in elm and ash. as a result of the revival in liusiness in
their line. Furniture manufacturers are generally buying in a ratner
limited way, though fair orders have been received during the past tew
days for gum and oak in firsts and sec-onds and No. 1 common. It is
declared by hardwood manufacturers here that stocks in the hands of
furniture interests are very small and it is conliilently exi)ected that, witli
an.t revivel of demanil for their output, there will be a good call for
lumber with which to supply tlie wants of their customers. As a general
rule those who are looking for increased liuying and general improvement
in the hardwood situation this fail and winter are relying largely on
furniture interests to furnish the buying power. Manufacturers of floor-
ing, sash, doors and interior trim are not as active as a sliort time ago.
They report that they are not receiving as many orders as they were
getting recently and they intimate that there is some slowing down of
business In the North and East, where projects are not being launched
with as much freedom as anticipated. They say, on the other hand, that
there is notable activity in the South and West, with prospects that this
will continue for some time. Exi>ort demand is light, while the call from
wholesale distributors is not more than modest at l)est.
Prices are generally holding their own and It is conceded by the majority
of manufacturers that there is little, it any, room for recession in values.
The tendency is to look for a stabilized market, with a higher trend ot
prices as soon as business begins to pick up. This applies particularly to
the medium and higher grades. No great hopes are entertained for either
strength or activity in the lower grades until there has been a substantial
reduction in transportation costs, a reduction that will give the seller of
these grades a return appro.ximating that which the railroads receive for
the mere transportation thereof.
Production may be increasing slightly, but the gain is not important.
There is little resumption of logging operations and production will not
make much headway in expanding until there is greater activity in the
woods than is now noted.
LOUISVILLE
While business is not rushing there are a few orders floating around, and
the houses which are making a real drive for business, instead of wait-
ing for it to come, report that things are not so awfully dull. There is
no doubt but what iniiuiries are better, and an occasional export order
is being received, although on export business it is claimed that in some
instances prices quoted by some markets have been too low for houses
who are making any efltort to secure a fair price. There has been some
little demand for oak, plain red FAS in 4/4 stock selling at around $90,
with li to 8/4 stock at $10."). FAS poplar in 4/4 has sold at $70; com-
mon sap gum. .i;26..'50 : FAS plain red gum. .$90; common red gum, $42:
FAS sap gum. $43. and walnut has sold in FAS at $230 for 4/4, $245 for
5/4 and 6/4, and $255 for 8/4. Demand continues coming from furniture
trade principally, with a little jobber business. The panel trade appears
fairly well supplied with core stock material. Veneers are slightly lietter
and some houses are now running to replenish stocks, with some fair
orders on hand as a result of the good furniture sales. Wagon and im-
plement business is at a standstill. Planing mills are buying better as
a result of more residence building and interior trim demand.
ST. LOUIS
The lull in all branches ot the lumlier industry has become more pro-
nounced, competition is keener for the small volume of orders and virtually
all species dealt in in this district have declined in price. An exception
is the upper grades of hardwoods, notably oak and gum, stocks of which
are scant and prices higher. Hardwood men look for freer buying by the
furniture manufacturers following the summer markets in St. Louis, Chi-
cago and Grand Rapids. Industrials are buying very little and the hard-
wood demand has fallen off appreciably during the l)ast month.
The furniture business is about seventy-five percent of normal. There
was a general reduction in prices as of July 1, ranging from five to ten
percent.
Six hundred and two building permits, with a total of $1,895,299, were
issued during the month of June as against 362 permits, with a total value
of $1,379,930, in June, 1920.
It is reported that architects have a fair volume of plans for buildings
In their vaults awaiting reductions in prices before releasing.
BEAUMONT
Hardwood men have to depend upon upper grades altogether for their
optimism, a slight improvement in the demand being noticeable during the
past week. This is a very scarce article, however, and probably gets Its
strength from this fact. Few mills are running and this condition will
exist indefinitely.
Present high freight rates make it particularly hard on the southwestern
mills, for they are practically shut out from the northern and eastern

Alpxiro. lint this dccivayp has Ihmmi more than offst-t witli a somewhat stim-
ulating (icmand from the northern and eastern markets of the United
States and, on the whole, the hardwood market for the Louisiana and
Alississippi territory show's some really substantuil inii)rovements within
the past fortnight over the previous like period.
On the score of priees and also of production Utile change has oei-urred
witliin the past two weeks to chronicle, but the improvement in demand is
really encouraKing, according to leading hardwood ttianufactiirers aiirl
dealers throughout the In-state territory.
Increase in ini|uiries within the past few years from both furniture and
automobile manufacturers has been decide<lly pronounced, and the mill-
work plants are reported to be not very far behind in re-entering the
extreme southern market. The stocks of all three of these classes is
unusually low and with the prospect of approaching improvement in busi-
n4'ss conditions jienerally, they are no longer holding liack. it appears, in
t;etting a line-up on material for their anti<-ipati'd in<-reiise in activity early
this fall.
The most discimntging feature of the hardwood market for this section
is the reaction produced against the hardwood people here over the wrangle
<'cmcerning the tariff matter on Mexican crude oil. For several months
past Mexico has been growing steadily in importance as a customer of
southern hardwoods until she was just aliout to become the principal con-
sumer (tf this product from the South. liut the oil question has pmduced
a decidedly pronounced reaction on their importation of hardwoods as well
as other commodities from the United States and the slump has been felt
keenly by liardwood exporters and others l>oth at New Orleans and at other
<;ulf ports.
The publicity battle carrieil on by the New Orleans and Louisiana news-
jiapers against the allegeil extortionate tactics of the odorous "rent Iiol:'
and shyster real estate agent is undotditedly doing something toward stim-
ulating local building operations and the effects of the campaign, which
has assumed something of the appearance of a real crusade on behalf of the
helpless tenant class, is imbuing many persons with an increased determi-
nation to "ow"n your own home" that already is redounding to the protit
of tlie hardwood people and other material and building supply dealers of
Ibis section.
Very little has been heanl of late of more mills closing down ; while,
on the other hand, the tendency seems to be to stimulate production, and
some of those, which closed several months ago to await an improvement
in the market, are gradually swinging back into action.
TORONTO
Tbe protracted period » f dullness in the lumber industry of Ontario
continues, with sawmill operations proceeding very leisurely both in
Ontario and Quebec. Few of the hardwood interests are buying, mainly
bet-ause there is still a sizable quantity of last year's lumber in wholesale
hands. The lack of buying is calculated to retard production. Informa-
tion gleaned by wholesalers about stocks held by retail yards indicates that
they are very light. Representatives of Kritish (.'olunibia interests in the
Toronto (listricts find that business continues fair, considering the quiet
buililing season, and despite the fact that .$S,00t*.(M)o worth of projected
building is being held up in Toronto, due to the present high cost of con-
-I ruction and unsettled labor conditions. Railroad buying has been one
"T the few bright features within the past few weeks. Stock sheets show-
that there is less lumber offering than for some time, indicating that
either .\merican or Prairie yards have been absorbing fair quantities
recently. The production barometer for the end of .Tune shows that the
mills reporting to the association had gained six points, to eighty-three
per cent, as compared with the report for the middle of June. Production
has timloubtedly slipped several points in the meantime, and the date
covering the operating to the end of July will probably show a still further
reduction. The showing on the whole is considere)! encouraging up to
date. Orders placetl by the Grand Trunk to replace depleted stocks of
lumber exceed 4,000.000 t;eet. This included about 2.000,000 feet of
ties, timbers for bridge repairs and boards for car repairs. The stocks are
undcisfood to have been reduced to a low point. an<l it was necessary to
make replacements. A considerable portion of the business went to British
i'oluniiia interests.

LARGE HARDWOOD TIMBER TRACT
"THE BEST QUALITY, LARGEST BODY
AND FINEST TRACT OF HARD-
WOOD TIMBER LAND IN THE
UNITED STATES TODAY."
This, In brief, is the opinion of one of the
foremost lumbermen in the country who has
been over and examined the property. Located
in one of the Southern-eastern States, very
convenient to transportation and the markets,
containing in excess of 80,000 acres and cruis-
ing approximately 850,000,000 feet of the highest
grades of Hardwood timber. Trees on this
property from five to eight feet In diameter are
common and the quality is excellent. There is
also some equipment, mill, bunk houses, etc.,
etc., which are Included with the sale. Amount
originally invested In this tract was in excess
of $3,500,000 and it has been carried on the
books of the company at $8,000,000. It can now
be purchased for less than two-thirds of the
original investment and Is probably the last
opportunity to secure a fine hardwood tract
east of the Mississippi River and greatly under-
priced.
Particulars will be given to interested pros-
pective purchasers only. Cruise maps and pic-
tures are available. Address all inquiries to

CLICK'S VENEER TABLES
Written by a practical Venser Manufacturer
— indispensable to handlers of veneers, boxes, cut lumber,
etc., for quickly determining square feet contents.
— the entirely new arrangement is simple and convenient,
and it takes only half the time to find the figure you want.
Yet there are almost five times as many dimensions
worked out as in any other book.
— the tables cover all inches and fractions from 1/16 inch
to 148 inches. However, the 1/16 inch fractions are in
convenient supplemental tables, the main table being based
on the more commonly used 18 inch fractions.
— additional tables give cubic feet contents of logs and
value of any log bought by the cord of 128 feet.
— clearly printed on white Hammermill Bond paper and
strongly bound in red leather. Write for circular showing
exact size and arrangement of pages.
The Most Up-to-Date and Practical Tables Published

in hardwood lumber is de-
termined largely by the soil
in which the stumpage is
grown. This is why our

N'
EMPHIS is visited by more do-
mestic and foreign buyers than
any other lumber center in the
country. Why? The alluvial
delta of the Mississippi river is famous as
the richest land in the world. The best
hardvi'oods grow on the best soil. The sale
of all this hardwood, the finest in the coun-
try, centers in or through Memphis. All
Southern species of satisfactory quality and
variety are available. Oak, gum, ash,
hickory, cottonwood, cypress, willow, tupelo,
red cedar. Memphis is the department
store of the hardwood industry — first in
quality, first in service. Let her serve you.

THE OLD IDEA OF
PERMANENCE
'^ / MARK \^
On the Bark of Your Veneered
Tops and Panels
Moans Guarantted Quality
TIME was in old Egypt, 3000 years ago, that the big idea
was not bigness merely — but permanence.
Permanence — and perfect finish.
This old picture of a restored fragment tells the story.
In like manner, we think, does the plywood manufac-
tured by this institution of ours here at New Albany tell a
similar story.
Here is a plant built like a battleship, clean-cut at every point,
orderly, trim and efficient to the N'th degree.
And — as is the plant so is the product.
Our products are the last word in Plywood-Perfection.

General Market Conditions
'HE ADVANCE OF THE SEASON seems to be clearly bearing
out Hardwood Record '.s prophecies of the past few months.
It has seemed to the editors of H.\rdwood Record that the turn
definitely set in this spring, and though the low level might likely
be maintained for a period, the worst part of the depression passed
with the gradual checking of downward tendencies. Hardwood
Record still believes that many dark clouds must pass over before
the full effect of advancing business is felt. The situation taight
be likened to a summer sun shining steadily behind the storm
clouds and eventually breaking through with the final dissipa-
tion of storm indications. Confidence is unquestionably on the
increase and aggressive business policies are having their direct
as well as psychological effect. Liquidation is now nearing com-
pletion, though some lines are still lax enough in this feature to
retard purchases. It is notable, however, that even during the last
two or three months a number of high lines receded rapidly until
today they are on a level insuring a steady measure of buying.
Here and there one notes failures, due not so much to any further
depression of business as to the awful strain under which most busi-
ness houses have been laboring during the past year and a half.
Most of them were able to weather the trial; others carried on for
a long period until ultimately worn out by the protracted nature
of the depression.
One finds in the consuming industries a continued hesitancy
which has become a habit. Purchasing factors on their part have
experienced continued draggiuess in their own sales, and naturally
their purchasing policy reflects this condition. Among the mills
at the present a slightly better tone is prevailing, with apparent
checking of price recession, not marked, however, by any strong
conviction that a fixed level or advances may be expected. A
slightly better tone of inquiries and orders has prevailed in most
markets, but due to the excessive quantity of low grades, which
because of unfavorable freight rates can not be moved to distant
markets, mills here and there are liquidating high-priced stock in
order to carry large quantities of the inferior material. Because
CSj of the presence of this accumulation of low grade it may be
^^ expected that the uppers may show some recessions, though any
In the North one finds considerable activity in the shipment of
grain doors, a number of the mills at present being occupied with
this work alone. A good many of the yards are pretty well filled
up, though everywhere the much talked of shortage of upper grades
is in evidence. As current supplies of logs are cut out operations
are closing down consistently. In connection with this general
policy of suspending operations, w^hich is common throughout all
the hardwood territory, it seems to have progressed far enough so
as to minimize the possibility of any sudden or general resumption
of operation. A distince shortage of lumber is the inevitable result
and undoubtedly this pronounced scarcity of desired materials is
going to have a considerable bearing on the work of gradually
bringing back a normal market.
CD ;
character of low grade hardwood lumber should be bought today
in quantities by any user in position to make such purchase.
Repeal the Excess Profits Tax Now
TnHE LUMBER INDUSTRY'S INTEREST in the excess profits
1 tax would be entirely academic, were it not for the fact that the
tax is an obstruction to the general revival of business, without which
there can be no real improvement in the lumber or any other industry
in this country. Therefore, the lumber industry and Hardwood Rec-
ord, as the representative of one important branch of it, is hopeful
that the decision of the House will be reversed during the Senate
debate on the tax re%-ision bill. There is no advantage to be gained
and a great deal of harm will be done, by postponing the repeal of
the excess profits tax another year. Immediate repeal of the tax,
making it retroactive to Jan. 1, 1921, would promptly have a stimu-
lating effect on business. This is not a time above all time to with-
hold any stimulus to business revival. Relieved of the excess
profits tax, business will be encouraged to renewed efforts of
economy and efficiency; a worthwhile incentive will be raised up
for further elimination of extravagances and a good measure of the
present diffidence and hesitancy in business will be removed. In
short, the recovery from depression will be accelerated, instead of
estopped for another six months.
It does not square with the facts to say that the excess jirofits tax
has already been passed on to the public, for the unprecedented de-
flation in nearly all lines of business has precluded this almost en-
tirely. But even if this were true, it would not be of enough impor-
tance to justify discouraging business economy and confidence at a
time when both are so desperately needed.

'■ A Deplorable Propaganda
WITHIN TIIK IjAST J'KW JiAi'S Hakdwood Kecohd lias come
into possossion of snniplc litcriiture apparently part of a gen-
eral plan of projiajianda which, while resting on a good i)rinciple,
is ill-conceived, and because its source is anonymous and its spirit
steeped in misrepresentation, its reaction must eventually be
harmful.
The propagaiul.i in i|Ues1ioii juirports to conic from a salesman
traveling for a walinit-mahogany house who represents that as
his house is adverse to adopting any new ideas, he is addressing a
general appeal to manufacturers to enlist their co-operation, lie
addresses a general letter to such manufacturers, prcsuiiiably of
walnut and mahogany, saying that through his plan the substitu-
tion of birch and gum could be stopped within thirty days' time.
The idea is that the company's appealed to should supply their
salesmen with warning slips reading as follows:
Fkiendly Wabnixo
Furniture made of gum or birch sjiotted in your show window
today.
Am sending this word in, and possibly a test purchase will be
made to see if your salesmen will represent the furniture as walnut
or mahogany, instead of imit.-ition.
This notice is sent to give dealers lalioriug under a wrong impres-
sion time to consult their attorneys and correct any misrepresenta-
tion if they be guilty. ADVANCE AGENT.
Notice A No. 906
These slips are to be handed to salesmen for the lumber com-
panies, and they in turn are to watch for show window displays of
furniture containing gum, birch and other substitutes, here and
there making a test purchase, to determine whether or not the goods
are represented as walnut or mahogany, the implication being that
such misrepresentation may be followed by court action.
The principle of substitution and misrepresentation for the pur-
pose of selling an inferior article deserves the eondenm.ation of any
man. The public has been sold a vast amount of furniture mar-
keted as walnut or as mahogany when such articles contained a
very small quantity of the genuine wood. Indeed, the manufac-
turers of certain of these substitute woods have made strenuous
eflforts in their own behalf to build up a prestige based on the
excellent qualities of their products which it is their hope will be
ultimately marketed on their own merits. For instance, the term
•'birch-mahogany" is today fairly ac-eepted in the trade as birch
finished with a mahogany st.-iiii and a great deal of furniture is
so sold.
But regardless of the correetness of the principle, the methods
employed for attaining the eliinination of substitutes are deplorable
and can not go far. It is especially unfortunate that they come
now at a time when even the retail furniture dealers, who have
been most at fault in marketing the false for the genuine, have
ofiicially gone on record in a resolution adopted at the Chicago meet-
ing e.-irly in July, as against the use of substitutes for walnut and
mahogany in furniture represented as made of those woods.
The anonymous character of the propaganda stamps it as of a
nature not usually emanating from the lumber industry. This
literature was brought to the attention of Hardwood Ef.cord just
. two days before press day. obviating the possibility of a full inves-
tigation, but inasmuch as the anonymous writer suggested that
salesmen should send the names of erring retailers to the walnut
association. Hardwood Record had the opportunity of investigat-
ing any such implied connection. The walnut association gave
very positive proof that it has no connection, official or unofficial,
with any such propaganda and, in fact, had not heard of it until a
<lay or two before it came to the attention of Hardwood Record.
Ill fact, it is issuing a general letter to this effect.
Hardwood Rkcord believes that both the furniture manufactur-
ing and retail trades are willing to sell their goods on their merits,
and can speedily be shown through education and proper publicity
that misrepresentation is directly against their best interests. Such
a campaign as this, though, w-ill be resented both by manufacturers
and retailers. It is ill-conceived and badly e.vecuted and dis-
tinctly unfair in that its literature implies connections which do
not .exist with certain associations. If this is as it is represented,
the work of an individu.-il salesman, the associations with which
he links his propaganda should take steps to stop it. If it is
officially or unofficially connected with any himber association,- that
body would do well to cease such activity and divert its funds into
more legitimate channels of education and publicity.
A Cause Deserving of Support
AT A TIME when the tlieory of forest conservation is occupying
the attention of business leaders outside of the lumber indus-
try, the impracticability of applying the more advanced practice
is brought home with almost tragic force to the lumber operator.
Today the very existence of some of the largest units in the lumber
manufacturing business is threatened through inaijility to reach
markets with the major portion of their cut. The prices for the
lower grades of hardwoods have reached the point where excessive
freight rates make their shipment impossible. Many mills, more
especially those in the South, are facing disaster because with the
thirty-three and a third per cent increase in rates effective August,
1920, their shipping district was so restricted as to virtually annihi-
late the market.
The Southern Hardwood Traffic. Association of Memphis has
coneentrated on this serious problem, and recently filed a strong
complaint before the Interstate Commerce Commission for the
re-establishment of old rates. It is believed that favorable decision
on the plea will not only greatly assist the operators who are today
carrying a staggering burden of low grade stock, but through mak-
ing it economically possible to market low grade will effect con-
servation.
The Southern Hardwood Traffic Association is anxious for every
last ounce of support it can get from the industry and can be
depended upon to turn such support in the direction where it will
count most. It is the solemn duty of every hardwood manufacturer
to communicate with the association, authorizing the use of his
company name as a party to the complaint. Obviously the more
representative is the backing for the action on the part of the
association, the more probable w-ill be favorable decision by the
commission. The action of the association is to be strongly com-
mended from every standpoint, and any hardwood man who is not
willing to dictate a letter supporting this action is beyond the
power of assistance.

"Aetivo support of tlu' jiriiiciplt's expressed " by the Snell-
MeCormiek forestry bill now before Congress is urged in a state-
ment authorized l)y the directors of the National Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association nt their regular meeting July 28 and issued
on August 9.
This statement repeats and answers in detail the outstanding
objections to the Snell-McCorniirk bill, and concludes with the
.Icclaratinii that "we have approved the Snell-McCormick bill in
the belief that it will provide an adequate and effective solution of
the Nation's forest problem."
Suidi a declaration mi-ans a very strong foi'ce behind the measure,
as it infers the active support of the eleven regional associations
constituting the membership of the National. A'iewed in this light,
the statement is one of the most important that has been made yvt
-on the national forestry policy question.
The text of the statement follows:
In view of public (Uscussions of tlie SneU-McConnick forestry hill imw
hcfore Congress, and the endorsement thereof by the National Lunibt'i-
Manufacturers' Association, the lioard of Directors of saul association in
n-gular meeting July 28, 1921, an<l by unanimous vote authorized the
fiillowing statement of its posititin and of the reasons which have led it
to the conclusion that the principb's incorporated in the Snell-McCorniick
bill are deserving of the lumber industry's support, together with cnmnicnt
npuii specilic ol)ji'ctioiis to tin- tiill which ha^'c been nunle.
When approached in 1919 in a cimstructivc spirit by the I'nited. States
Forest Service, tirst through ex-Korester Graves and later by Fwestor
Greeley, and asked to cooperate in framing and establishing a needed
American forest policy, the association unhesitatingly endorsed the project,
making at that time a public declaration of its views of the economic
principles involved. It called upon its regional constituents to nominate
competent representatives to a committee to confer with the Forest Service
and other agencies on forestry matters admitting of general and con-
certed national effort. At the same time, recognizing that in practice
forestry is largely a local problem not susceptible rif national definition,
it urged its constituents to create local committees to collaborate with
other agencies, both public and private, in studying antl pronnding the
specific steps suitable to the neeils of their respective localities.
Greeley Platform Adopted
A general platform t'(»rninbiti'il after careful study by the association's
forestry committee was formally mlopted in 1920, endiodying essential
principles of responsilulity closely in harmony with those endorsed by
Forester Greeley, who was asked to submit for consideration his specific
views as to needed federal legislation, if any, although it was l)elieved and
asserted that (juestions of actual forest practice were for local determina-
tion only. He did this, folkiwlng a similar course with other organizations.
Thus at about the same time both the need and the exact form of possible
federal legislation were receiving the attention of nniny agencies, indus-
trial, private ami piHilic, dcveloiiiiig ureat need of concerted attention
which would not bewilder the public with conflicting theories and preju-
dices.
The function of our forestry comndttee was to get in touch with all
these agencies and. under the general principles already endorsed, to seek
and promote the best solution, all things considered, by which the Industry
could be in line and cooperate with the sanest and most competent majority
of interests concerned, including the Forest Service of the United States.
It was to avoid commitments as to local practice, but to encourage the
best means of having this properly considered as time and conditions
permit.
The Snell-McCormick bill, based largely on Forester Gi'eeley's sugges-
tions, and approved by him. took its final form at a conference in October,
1920. at which he was present by invitation of accredited representatives
of the National Limiber Manufacturers' Association, American Paper and
I'ulp Association, American Newspaper Publishers' Association, National
Association of Wood-Using Industries. American Forestry Association,
United States Chamber of Coiinnerce ami National Wholesale Lumber
I'ealers' Association.
This bill was then reported back by the forestry committee to the Board
of Diri'ctors of the National I.undier Mjfnufacturers* vVssociation, was
formally endorsed by it in I>eccnd)er, 1920. and was later submitted to
I'resident Harding as representing the imlustry's position. It soon recidveil
the emlorsi'inent of most of the interested agencies in the United States,
inclmling nearly all state foresters and. by a much divided but neverthe-
less majority vote, the Society of American Foresters as well as hnuber-
men's and other business organizations, chambers of commerce, forestry
associations and the like.
Tr has. however, been criticised by a few represenlativ*'s of two extreme
positions ; those on the one hand who hold that it does not go far enough
to regulate forest industry, and those on the other hand who fear it goes
too far. The objections raised and our opinion of their weight are in the
main as given below after a brief re-aiialysis of the Snell-MtrCormlck bill
itself.
Few Departures Made
The Snell-McCormick bill .onlains littlf- that is new In federal legisla-
tion, being rather a correlation of existing projects in consistent systematic
form that perndts considering their adequacy as federal ptdicy reipiired
in aildition to the present ownership and administration of national forest
areas. Most of these features have arouseil no controversy. Such con-
troversy as has arisen centers on the initial sections touching upon forest
management on privately owneti lands. These sections do not involve a new
problem, hut apply to it un\y a solution which has already been tested
and creates no new prece<lent in principle. It is on this point that con-
siderable confusion exists, responsible, we believe, for some sincere opposi-
tion to the measure.
The first section authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to cooperate
with state authorities ami other appropriate agencies, such as representa-
tives of lumbermen, in setting up the essential requirements of each rcgitm
for the better proti'ction and perpetuation of forests. So far no new
power is granted. He can d() this now and has done so. Further, he is
authorized to cooperate with state and forest owners io bringing into
effect the requirements determined, and funds for this purpose are to he
supplieti. lie may refuse cooperation, however, if the state fails in legisla-
tion or administration to comply with tlie requirements. So may any state
refuse with equal freedom.
This is in substance no more than the application to all forest problems,
without specific reference to the watersheds of navigable streams, of the
present system of cotiperation in fire prevention on such watersherls rmder
the so-called Weeks law. Where the states afford a certain measure of such
prevention, from which the nation derives benefit, the government helps
pay the bills, as it should do. Also, and properly, as the feileral taxpayers'
agent, it must be satisfied that the work is done to good purpose.
Thus state legislation and police power are invoked, being inseparable
from fire prevention, and applying to the individual and on private lands.
Hut the authority and constitutionality of state action, and the rights of
individuals tliereunder. are absolutely unaffected, while the government
itself arrogates no police power. Nor is the principle one of coercion in
restrictive legislation by means of subsidy, for the latter is based on the
state's expenditure in at least equal and presumably far greater measure,
although the government may decline to participate if the states' system
is not made effective. The government does not dictate the terms. It
confers with the states and accepts their terms if satisfied. Individual and
property rights as guaranteed by the Constitution are not. and cannot be.
affe<-ted by such legislation.
Down to Fundamentals
I'erhaps the intent of the Snell liill, as we understand it. can best be
illustrated by considei'lng the fundamental problem whicli it is intended
to solve and the principal solutions which have been proijosed. The object
is to assure a continuance of an adequate tinilicr supply and id' other forest
benefits. All states and their populations are interesteci in this, as well
as the chief forest states.
One school of thought represented by the so-called Capper Uill holds that
the object mentioned, particularly the protection of consuming states, can
be accomplished only by ftderal control of all forest Jau'is and forest
industry, laying down and enforcing for all operations regulations which
must be complied with for the public good, regardless of the costs or hard-
ship they imposi? upcm private enterprise. The other school, led by Forester
(Jreeley and fimling expression in the Snell bill, differentiates. It assumes:
(a) That uthqimtr results are sought — not ni'cessariiy ultimate
and maximnm n-sults : hence the ntost complex, difficult and olijec-
tionable measures should not be invoked unless and until, as is
unlikely, they prove necessary.
tbi That fire prevention will go a long way. proitably most of the
way. and in some cases, all the way. toward solving the entire problem
by assuring natural reproduction of desirable species on much of our
forest land.
(c) That better tax conditions, as well as safeguarding the invest-
ment against fire, nnist precede any considerable investment in for-
estry.
td) That as lire and tax con<litious are controlled by state, not
federal legislation, federal regulation in any event cannot well be
imposed regardless of these state conditions.
(e) That all Constitutional police power necessary to be invoked
lies with the states.

The Manufacture and Seasoning of Oak
By David G. White, Forest Examiner, U. S. Forest Service
Timber From Which Logs Were Obtained for Mil
Study
TIk' ailujitation of oak or any other
wood to tlie uses to which it is best suit-
ed, is largely dependent upon proper man-
f acture and conditioning. This article
discusses a number of factors involved
in the manufacture of oak which affect
the cost of production and the selling
price of the material, and give data on
the [iroper seasoning or conditioning of
the wood to reduce loss through depre-
ciation to a minimum. Such considera-
tions are of importance to both manufac-
turer and consumer.
Factors affecting the efficiency of the
operation and the proportions of the va-
rious grades obtainable are of chief in-
terest to a manufacturer when convert-
ing logs into lumber. The efficiency is
indicated to a large extent by the rate
of production, percentage of waste and
care and judgment in sawing for quality.
Sawing for quality, or the obtaining of
the largest percentages of the highest
grades with a minimum of waste, is, huw
ever, largely dependent upon the size ami
quality of the logs.
Many variations may be expected in
manufacture, depending upon the size
and type of sawmill, location and qual-
ity of timber, and like factors. In order
to obtain data on the manufacture of oak which might be said to
be representative, a mill-scale study was made by the Forest Prod-
ucts Laboratory at a typical hardwood band sawmill at Proctor,
Ark., in co-operation with George C. Brown & Co. and the Na-
tional Hardwood Lumber Association. The timber cut represents
the timberlands of the delta country of the lower Mississippi
Valley, which form the last large reservoir of hardwoods in the
United States.
Stump ago and Logging
Topography and climate play an important part in determining
the method of logging, and these factors, together with the method,
affect the cost.
Stumpage and logging costs are usually obtained in terms of
log scale, and vary with size and quality of the trees, type of coun-
try, distance from mill and market, and like factors. The log scale
of any log seldom checks with the net lumber tally sawed out of
it, and the difference is overrun or underrun, as the case may be.
This overrun or underrun affects the cost per thousand feet net
lumber tally, which equals the cost per thousand log scale multi-
plied by the net yield log scale, and the result divided by the yield
not IuiiiIkm' tally of the same logs.
Ovemm and Underrun
During the millscalc study the red and wliitc oak logs were
scaled according to the Doyle rule. The difference between the
log scale and the net lumber tally, divided by the log scale, gives
the percentage by which the net lumber tally overruns or underruns
the log scale. The percentages of overrun or underrun for different
diameter classes and groups of logs for both red and white oak
are shown in tables 1 and 2. The differences between the full and
net log scale and between the full and net overrun or underrun are
the result of allowances which were made by the scaler for defects.
The Doyle scale for any size log is predicated upon the following
mathematical formula:
[^Y
X L
Scale
111 which D equals the diameter in inches
and L equals the length in feet. The
diameter in practice is usually taken at
the small end of the log inside the bark,
although "instructions given in Scrib-
ner's Log Book are to measure the log at
the middle."* This rule gives too small
a scale for small logs and too large a scale
fur large logs, as is shown in table 1;
i. e., the ratio of the log scale to the net
lumber tally steadily decreases as the
size of the log increases.
On the logs manufacture<l during this
study the overrun changed to underrun
at a diameter of 23 inches for white oak
and at 29 inches for red oak. This varia-
tion was largely the result of the differ-
ent sawing methods used for the two
woods; for example, practically all good
white oak logs 20 inches or larger in
diameter were sawed to obtain the maxi-
mum amount of quarter-sawed boards,
but the red oak logs were not. Quarter-
sawing produces more waste than plain-
sawing.
Methods of sawing, size and quality
are reflected in the overrun and underrun for the various groups of
red and white oak logs shown in table 2; i. e., the ratio of the log
scale to the net lumber tally is larger for small, sound, or plain-
sawed logs than for either large, defective, or quarter-sawed logs,
respectively.
Rate of Production
The rate of production varies with the diameter of the log, the
method of sawing, time consumed in sawing for quality, ratio of
nominal to actual sizes, proportion of sizes, and like factors. The
red and white oak logs sawed during the study were cut by a sin-
gle-band saw with a kerf of 9/64 inch full. Approximately 91 per
cent of the product consisted of 1, 1% and 1%-inch lumber, 4^ per
cent of 2 and 3-inch stock, and 4% per cent of cross-ties and small
timbers. The sawing instructions were:
1" plaiii-sawed red oak cut 5/32" full
1" plain-sawed white oak cut 1/8 " full
1" quarter-sawed red oak cut 1/4 " full
]" quarter-sawed white oak cut 5/32" full
5/4" and 6/4" plain-sawed red and white oak cut 1/8 " full
5/4" and 6/4" quarter-sawed red and white oak cut 5/32" full
8/4" plain-sawed red and white oak cut 1/8 " full
Timbers .' cut 1/8 " full
Tlie number of seconds required to saw logs of different diam-
eters is shown in titble 1. Time lost in changing saws, etc., was
jirorated against the various logs. Logs less than 16 feet 2 inches
in length were computed on the basis of 16 feet 2 inches for accu-
r;icy in comparing data. The time of sawing was then plotted
against yield net lumber tally and a curve drawn from which the
data in table 1 are taken. The time required for sawing the aver-
age log for the various groups is shown in table 2.
The rate of production per hour shown in tables 1 and 2 was
obtained by dividing the yield net lumber tally by the number of
seconds required to saw the log, and multiplying the result by

3,600, the number of seconds in
an hour. Factors affecting the
time of sawing are clearly re-
flected in rate of production |)or
hour. The white oak logs in ta-
ble 1, for I'.xaniple, show a steady
decrease in the rate of produc-
tion per hour as the diameter of
the logs increases, while the red
oak logs show an increase up to
26 inches in diameter and a
gradual decrease as the logs in-
crease in size above that diam-
eter. The effect of the time of
sawing for log classes for greon
and shipping-dry material is
shown in table 2. Because of
depreciation and shrinkage in
drying, the figures for the sliip-
ping-dry material are less than
for the material in the green condition.
Time of sawing is of importance because it permits comput-
ing the cost of manufacturing a thousand fet of lumber, board
measure, from logs of any given diameter or group of logs.
The cost per thousand equals the number of seconds to saw the
average log multiplied by the average cost of manufacture per
second, divided by the lumber scale of the same log, and then mul-
tiplied by one thousand. The cost per thousand feet multiplied
by the net lumber tally produced per hour gives the cost of produc-
tion per hour. Because of shrinkage, development of defects,
etc., the cost for green and dry material will vary.
Yield
The lumber was graded according to the rules of the National
Hardwood Lumber Association by an official inspector of the asso-
ciation. The yield
■;>,>*v<^Mj™.^^
table 2 are based on actual aver-
ages and not curves. In this
table "shipping dry" refers to
lumber air dried three months
during a winter in Arkansas.
In general, the percentages of
plain-sawed white oak firsts and
seconds, and No. 1 and No. 2
common, decreased and the per-
centages of quarter-sawed mate-
rial for the same grades in-
creased as the diameters of the
logs increased. The percentages
of plain and quarter-sawed No.
',\ common showed a steady de-
crease as the diameters of the
logs increased.
As the diameters of the logs
iiici'('as<'d, the jiercentages of
both plain and quarter-sawed
red oak firsts and seconds increased; the percentages of plain-sawed
No. 1 common increased and then decreased a little, while the
quartered material steadily increased; the percentages of plain-
sawed No. 2 common decreased, and the quartered material in-
creased; and the percentages of plain and quarter-sawed No. 3
common showed a steady decrease.
The effect of plain and quarter sawing, position in the tree, and
quality of logs on the jiercentages of the various grades is shown
in table 2. Sound logs, of course, produce better lumber than un-
sound logs, and butt logs a larger percentage of the better grades
than the middle and to]) logs for the same general run of trees. A
larger percentage of quartered material was produced in quarter
sawing than in plain sawing, but at an expense of an extremely
large percentage of waste and decrease in rate of production.

Manufacturers Push Snell-McCormick Bill
(Cuiitiiinifl pom inigr 17)
(f) Thut the American w.iy of doins things. foMnwing Cuustitu-
tional preoodont, is by foderal, state and iuMvatc division at' lK)rh right
and responsibility.
(g) That the steps to lie taken will vary Nunlly jnid with regions
an<l win ilevelop as they are further studii'd and as cunditions change :
that they, therefore, are not susceptible of exact and universal defini-
tion by statute.
(h) That the way to determine thoni for each region is through
local conueils of interested agencies, including the industry, each
liringing its linowledge and necessities, seekini; such pro;iress as is
I'oinpatilile with conditions.
(i) That the government's i>ropcr luirt is to cncourngt- and bear its
due financial share of such a locally-deterniincd program, as one
beneficiary, and with impartial helpful influence : not to attempt to
i;oV4*rn at long range, imposing tbi- cnsi locally, with certainty of
resentment and conflict.
Criticisms Answered
With this preliminary analysis we may consider the chief criticism.
answering first the ('xtremists among tlie foresters :
1. That the Snell-McCormick Jtill is a Unnbermen's measure, devised to
forestall eflfective pul>lic acjtion.
The lumber industry supports but did not originate the plan, which was
prepared by the Forest Service, and has the approval of virtually all state
forest departments and o' all forestry organizations known to us.
'2. That the truly great need is not for things that can bi- attained
by the Snell Hill, but for federal regulation of lumbering in the chief pro-
duein>; states.
This assumption is contrary to three basic facts, as follows^ (a) that forest
perpetuation should be distributed so that dependence shall not be absolute on
the regions still uncut; (b) that while better operating practice is often desir-
able, the preponderating loss of forest production is due to non-protection
of the vast areas already cut and burned and to bad tax laws and other condi-
tions for which the public is more responsible than the industry; and finally
(c) that in the regions where the Government now has control over areas of
its own. its methods differ little from private methods and its results are no
better than those on private lands where, given fire protection, good forest
reproduction is also the rule and not the exception.
H. That the indnslry's interest ;ind the public's interest ;irc iiiber.'ntly
eonlltcling, ht'ucc ini'lperativi' solution is impossible.
In the past there has been both public and private indifference, due to the
same general causes. There is now. and will be, increasingly, both public
and private interest due to changed conditions. We hold that this interest
is in fact mutual and must lead to sincere cooperation before the problem is
successfully and finally solved; hence that any other proposal serves only
to delay effective accomplishment.
The objections raised by a minority among lnml»ermen are chiefly as
fcdUpws :
Minority Lumber Objections
1. That the Snell bill is too indefinite lacking exa<t statement of the
practices which it seeks to attain.
Since these practices must vary in kind and necess'ty with differing regions
and with changing conditiors. it is impossible and would be unwse to attempt
to lay them down by STATUTE. The basic theory of the Snell-McCormick,
Bill is that local needs will be determined by local conditions and met as far as
practicable — a course that cannot be defined in advance and in specific detail
by any agency, much less by Congress, in federal statute,
2. That it affords the government undue power to infiucnce local pnie-
liie :ind. p<'rhaps. to intiuence impi"iip«'i' state legislation.
We cannot see ground for this fear except a theoretical one which must
apply to any co-operative measure and also, therefore, to any of the agencies
involved, as well as to the Government. Indeed, it is thus applied by some
other opponents of thg bill who say that it places the Government's functions
too much under the influence of the co-operating states and lumbermen. We
believe that co-operation is necessary and that the way to co-operate is to do
it trusting in facts and fairness; not to hedge the process with so many sus-

Where in priutiee this has heen tried there has been little difliculty. In
this connection we feel that the wide endorsement of the .Snell-McCorniick
r.ill by government, states, industry and consumers, creates a support and
an obligation tending very strongly to assure fair and effective cooperation
ill carrying it out — an important advantage not attainable under any
mi'jisnre coneernin^ whi<'h tin- interests involved are divided in the begin-
ning.
To the extent to which any financial burdens involved in carrying out a
ennstructive forest policy are for the benefit of the public, they shouhl
I'r borne by the public and should not be made an added burden upon
ibe use of the private property of the citizen.
We then'fore urge active support of the principles expresseil by the bill.
We have approved Ihe Snell-M<'('ormick Bill in the belief that it will not
;old any burden to the timberland <nvner for which he will not receive an
adetjuate benefit, and tliat it will provide an adequate and effective soln-
lion of the nation's forest problem.

Furtlier lu'arings on the wood and metals schedules will lie held
by the Ways and Means Committee during the week of August 22,
has been announced. The Finance Committee will require exa.ct cal-
culations on the amount to be paid under each of the ad valorem
rates of the Pordney tariff bill, on the basis of American valua-
tion, before passing upon any of the rates. Senator Penrose an-
nounce<i. This statement was taken to mean that practically all
the rates carried in the bill will be changed by the Finance Com-
mittee before it is reported to the Senate. Senator Penrose is re-
ported to have told members of the Ways and Means Committee
that many of the rates have been fixed "about 75 per cent too
high," if applied on the basis of American valuation. Senator
Smoot is known to share the same view.
The committee will continue the hearings on the woods and
metals schedules while treasury experts work on the calculations
desired. The committee will then deciile whether the delay entailed
in completing the calculations will make it advisable to droji the
tariff bill for the time being and work on the revenue bill instead.
For his part, Senator Penrose said, the revenue bill could wait.
There was no hurry about revenue revision. On the other hand,
there was every reason for getting the tariff bill into law as soon
as possible. ,»»»♦,
Never in the history of the country has there been such marked
interest in forest preservation by State legislators as at the present
time, according to reports received by the Forest Service, Depart-

some sort of forestry activities and 25 of these share in the Federal
co-operative forest protection fund, allotted to the states maintain-

Business men throughout the country are overwlielmingly in favor
of a sales tax, according to the Chember of Commerce of the United
States, which has sent a detailed analysis of the vote cast on its
recent tax referendum to members of Congress.
There was an overwhelming vote in favor of the general principle
of the sales tax. The vote on the particular kind of sales tax showed
a large ma.jority of sentiment in favor of making it a general tax
on turnovers of all kinds, rather than on retail sales, or only on
goods, wares and merchandise.
Geograjihically, the North Atlantic States expressed the strongest
sentiment for a turnover tax, as against a retail sales tax, while the
lowest favorable vote on this particular question was cast by the
Soutliern states. The next highest vote was cast by the Middle
Western group and the next lowest was by the Far Western states.
On the further question as to whether the turnover tax should
apply to all turnovei-s, rather than to goods, wares and merchandise
alone, the distribution of sentiment is somewhat reversed. The
total vote was for a sales tax on all turnovers, but the strongest
support for the proposition came from the Far Western States,
while the group least favorable was the North Atlantic States group.
In other words, the North Atlantic section, the great industrial
and financial center, voted enthusiastically for a sales tax on turn-
overs, but was not so willing to have it apply to all turnovers which
would include sales of real estate, plants and securities, rents,
royalties and receipts of public utilities!
On the other h.-ind, the Soul hern and Western States, which may
111' termed the agrarian sections, were not overwhelmingly for the
turnover tax, but were most decided in their vote that if there is
to be a turnover tax, it must apply to all turnovers.
The general question of a gales tax, in place of the tax on trans-
portation and communication, was carried by a favorable vote of
94 per cent of all the votes cast on the subject. A study of the
ballots, however, shows that the sales tax found it.s most ardent
supporters in the national trade associations and the chambers of
commerce of the large cities. The vote recorded by these two
groups were 99 per cent in favor of the general ]irineijile of substi-
tuting a sales tax for those to be repealed.
On the same question, five agricultural states, Kansas, South
Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, and Montana, being selected as
typical, voted only 86 per cent in favor, which is the lowest vote
cast by any group studied.
In comparison with the vote of the agricultural states, the vote
from four of the most important manufacturing states, Massachu-
setts, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New .Jersey, was 94 per cent
favorable to the sales tax.
Dividing the whole United States into four geographical griuips,
the vote in favor of the sales tax, instead of the excise tax on
transportation and communication, was as follows: The Far West-
ern States, 97 per cent; the North Atlantic States, 96 per cent;
the Middle Western States, 94 per cent, and the Soutliern States,
92 per cent.
The vote favoring a sales tax to take the place of the excise ta.t
on particular businesses was 91 per cent of all votes registered on
the question, and the distribution of the vote was very similar to
the vote on substituting a sales tax for transportation and communi-
cation taxes. »»,»,,
No change in the general level of wholesale prices from June to
July is shown by the information gathered by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The Bureau's weighed index number, which includes a
larger number of commodities than any other currently publisheil
scries, and which gives to each commodity an influence equal to
its importance in the country's markets, again registered 148 in
July, as compared with 1(1(1, re]iresenting the level of prices in the
year 191:!.
Farm products and foodstuff's were slightly higher in June, the
former group advancing l-!4 per cent and the latter ll.j per cent
over the level of the previous month. In all other groups decreases
took place, varying from one-half of 1 per cent in the case of cloths
and clothing to 6 per cent in the case of house-furnishing gooils.
Building materials were 1 per cent cheaper than in June, fuel and
lighting materials were IV-; per cent cheaper, and chemicals and
drugs, ]% per cent cheaper.
Metals and metal products declined oVl per cent in average
price from June to July. In the grouj) of miscellaneous commodi-
ties, including such important .-irticles as cotton-seed meal and oil,
lubricating oils, jute, rubber, nevvs]irint and wrapping paper, soap,
tobacco and wood pulp, the ilediiie was less than three-fourths of
1 per cent.
Comparing prices in July with those of a year ago, it is seen
that farm jiroducts and foodstuffs have declined 50 per cent, and
clothing materials 431^ per cent. Building materials, measured
by changes in their index number, show a decrease of 40 per cent,
and miscellaneous commodities a decrease of SSVi per cent. House-
furnishing goods were 35 per cent cheaper in July than in the
same month last year, and metals and metal products were 34ii
per cent cheaper. Fuel and lighting materials decreased 27 per
cent and chemicals and drugs approximately 25 per cent iu the 12-
month period. All conimoilities, considered in the aggregate, de-
creased 43Vj per cent.

fatal to the complainants' members and injurious to the defend-
ants, since if lumber and forest products are to be made avail-
able for market and transportation during the coming winter
and spring, the logs must be moved to the mills before the fall
raia* set in." — Petition filed by Southern Hardwood Traffic
Association «t al. with Interstate Commerce Commission for
.■ost. of production, but even at these ruinous prices are unalile restoration of rate status prior to Aug. 2.5, 1920.
Bulletin!
"Hardwood rate case set for hearing before Interstate Com-
merce Commission September 29,"' reads a telegram received from
Hardwood Record's staff correspondent in Memphis on August
23. "Southern Hardwood Traffic Association has called in all
district managers to hasten preparation of information and data to
support its contention that present rates are unjust, unreasonable
and destructive," the telegram concludes.
The decisive phase of what promises to be one of the greatest rate
struggles in the history of the hardwood lumber industry was entered
into when the Southern Hardwood Traffic Association during the week
ending August 7, filed formal complaint with the Interstate Com-
merce Commissrion, charging that present rates on hardwood lumlier
and forest products are "destructive," and demanding, in effect,
restoration of the tariffs on these commodities prevailing prior to
Aug. 26, 1921. This fight is looked upon as the entering wedge, which
will split the .solidarity of the railroads and open the way for the
general downward revision of rates, which is indespensable if the
eomnu'rce and industry of the country are ever to be restored to truly
normal conditions. At present the high rates are an anomaly that
throws the country 's entire economic machine out of gear. The busi-
ness eyes of the entire country, therefore, will be on this contest.
The Southern branch of the hardwood lumber industry is threat-
ened with extinction by the present rates, which prevent the profitable
marketing of the lower grades of hardwoods. There can be no pros-
perity nor even profit in the manufacture and sale of lumber without
the nornuil marketing of the lower as well as the upper grades.
Therefore, the Southern manufacturer of hardwood lumber has been
pushed to the wall. His back is against it and he has got to fight
and has begun to fight — the hardest battle of his experience. Not only
does the life of his business depend upon relief from these confisca-
tory rates, but this relief must be given promptly. The complainants
most earnestly petition the Interstate Commerce Commission to hear
their case not later than the first week in September, preferably at
Chicago, but if not there, then in Washington, in order that a decision
may be secured in time to permit manufacturers to nuive their logs
into the mills before the autumn rains set in.
The complaint, which was filed by J. V. Norman of Louisville, Ky.,
general counsel for the Southern Hardwood Traffic Association, was
accompanied by a letter to George B. McGinty, secretary of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. In this letter Mr. Norman declared
that "the situation herein presented is a desperate one and requires
immediate relief in that, if hardwood lumber is to be produced for
sale and transportation during the coming fall and winter, the logs
from which it is produced must be moved into the mills before the
fall rains set in. Under the present rate adjustment manufacturers
can not move logs into their mills because they can not pay the cost
of transportation and get the cost of production out of the logs and
lumber. ' '
After this declaration Mr. Norman proceeded to exhaustively elabo-
rate the reasons which render the granting of his plea for speed in
docketing and hearing a matter of compelling justice.
Mr. Norman shows that since June 24, 1918, rates have been ad-
vanced from 00 to 100 per cent on inbound movement of logs, billets
and other rough materials and on the outbound movement of lumber
and other products made therefrom and asserts, with emphasis, that
rates "have been increased to such extent and by inich means as to
stifle the industry and greatly reduce the movement of traffic, thereby
destroying the prosperity of complainant members and reducing the
revenues of the defendants." He charges that present rates are
' ' unjust and unreasonable and in violation of Section 1 of the inter-
state commerce act; that they are prohibitive of the production and
movement of low grade lumber and other forest products and that,
inasmuch as it is impossible to produce the higher grades, without, at
the same time, producing the lower, the result is that the entire in-
dustry is stifled and hampered and the carriers are receiving less
revenue therefrom than they would receive if rates were reduced to a
reasonable basis on which the traffic could move."
Relationships Destroyed
Mr. Norman further charges that the advance in rates made last
August, together with the method used in their making, have had the
effect of destroying relationships, especially on long haul traffic and
confining business to short hauls, thus localizing distribution to an
unusual degree. He further asserts that the "resulting rate structure
on hardwood lumber and forest products is unduly preferential and
unduly discriminatory in violation of Sections II and III of the inter-
state commerce act. ' '
After pointing out that hardwood lumber and forest products con-
stitute heavy low grade traffic which, under proper rates and adjust-
ments, moves long distances in ear load quantities and is most profit-
able for the carriers, Mr. Norman insists that the movement is very
much restricted under present rates both as to volume and as to dis-
tances, with the result that the defendants are deprived of this profit-
able business, that the industry is severely throttled and that the
return of normal business and economic conditions is prevented. He
therefore requests that rates be restored to the level in effect Aug.
2.5, 1920.
The association is determined to make the greatest fight of its
career for the reason that the issues at stake are the largest for
August 25, 1921

which the lumbermen have ever fought, involving, as they do, the
question of whether or not those engaged in the manufacture and
distribution of hardwood lumber and forest products shall remain
in business or whether they shall bo forced to contract their opera-
tions or go out of business altogether. As indicating the deter-
mined spirit that prevailed at this conference, it vk'as voted unani-
mously that an assessment, equal to one-fourth of the annual dues
of members of this organi/^ition, should be levied to defray the
expenses of this contest, and that ten per cent of the assessment
should be called for by the ])resident of the association as soon
as needed.
Iiumbermen Have Been Patient
The lumbermen, in deciding to fight, submit that they have not
acted hastily. They have given tlie executives of the railroads
serving the hardwood producing territories three distinct oppor-
tunities to lower freight rates or to make adjustments that would
put the hardwood industry in a position where it could compete for
business in the great consuming regions of the United States.
The first opportunity was given when the association asked
officials of the roads serving the hardwood producing territory to
meet them in conference at the Hotel Gayoso early in March this
year. They laid their cards on the table and asked the carriers
for substantial reductions and adjustments. The railroad men
countered with the proposition that the carriers were in bad shape
financiallj' and that they could not undertake anything that would
impair their revenues. The lumbermen argued that lower freight
rates would produce a vastly larger tonnage and therefore increase
revenues, but the spokesmen for the carrier suggested that every-
thing be left in abeyance until about the first of July.
The association, together with spokesmen for other construction
industries, appeared before the carriers in Washington early in
June and urged a reduction in freight rates but, after a week or ten
days had elapsed, following this conference, they again announced
that they could not see their way clear to grant any reductions or
make any substantial readjustments.
J. H. Townshend, secretary-manager, again apjieared before the
carriers and the Interstate Commerce Commission in the latter
part of June and, instead of asking reductions on forest products,
appealed for a readjustment that would put members of this organi-
zation on a better competitive basis. No decision was reached
until the date of the Memphis conference, July 12, and then S. M.
Nickey, president of the association, announced that he had just
received a long distance message from Chicago, apprising him,
through a high official of the Illinois Central, that the railroads
had decided that they could not undertake any readjustments
sought by this org.-inization.
The complainants joining with the association are: Mobile Lum-
lier Manufacturers' Club, Evansville Lumbermen's Club, Louisville
Hardwood Club, Corinth Lumbermen's Club, Nashville Lumber-
men's Club, Spoke Manufacturers' Association, Lumbermen's Club
of Memphis, Southwestern Hardwood Manufacturers' Club, West-
ern North Carolina Lumber & Timber Association, Cincinnati Lum-
bermen's Club and Appalachian Logging Congress.
The complaint is directed against the Illinois Central Railroad
Company and .iU lines of railway in the United States.
Table of Bate Increases
The complaint includes a table showing the increase in cents per
100 pounds and ]ier car of 50,000 pounds, as a result of the advance

eral advance. The table is presented herewith:

electi-ic spoke shave. This tool is operated at a high rate of speed and
will do the same Itind of work that the well known hand spolte shave will
do. It is designed in such a wa.v that it will take a cut automatically
from 1/1000" up to %" on straight, curved or convex work. This tool is
said to be a wonder and that it increases the quantity and quality of the
work many times.
Ford Ships from New Mill
The Michigan Land. Iron and Luniljcr Company of Iron Mountain, Mich.,
more familiarly linown as the "Ford sawmill," being owned and operated
by Henry Ford and son of Detroit, is now making regular shipments tu
the Ford company's plants. The first shipment of the mill, which was
formally opened aliout the middle of July, consisted of four carloads
loaded on the Ann Arbor carferry No. 4 to Reed City, Mich., the location
of a large dry kiln of the Ford company. All shipments from Iron Moun-
tain to the lower peninsula will be made through Menominee, Mich., on
Ann Arbor carferries. In addition to its own timber and log supply for
the new mill, the Ford interests have recently let a contract for 2,000,000
feet of logs. Perrin Bros, of Gogebic will cut 1,500.000 feet, and the
remainder will be cut by Elliott Bros, of Basswood, Mich. Shipments
already have been started to Iron Mountain.
"Virgin Growth" and "Second Growth"
Specifications often call for "virgin growtli" ipr "scfomi growth" timber,
yet the terms are without fi.\od significance, and the material when dollv-
orcd can not be positively idontitied as belonging to one class or the other.
"Virgin growth," also called "first growth" or "old growth," means tim-
ber which grew up in a standing forest under conditions of active com-
petition for sunlight and moisture.
"Second growth," when applied to a forest stanil. usually means timber
who.so main growing period occurred under conditions of lessened competi-
tion, after all or a portion of the original stand had been removed l>y cut-
ting, fire, wind or other means. In connection with the individual trees,
the term is used to mean any whose growing conditions approximatetl
those which would produce a "second growth" stand. To the wood user,
"second growth" means material cut from either of these sources. In
general, the term is associated with the idea of a second crop of timber,
though specific applications may vary.
Virgin gi-owth is generally thought of as slow growing timber, while
second growth, due to more favorable conditions, is relatively rapid. A
faster rate of growth is evidenced by wider annual rings. These are popu-
larly supposed to indicate stronger and tougher wood In the hardwoods,
such as ash, hickory, eim and oak ; and weaker and brashy wood in the
conifers, such as pine and flr. Hence, for uses in which strength and
toughness are essential, .second growth is sought among the hardwoods,
whereas in conifers virgin grttwth is desired,
.\8 a second growth forest attains maturity, the rate of growth slows
up, and the annual rings may be no wider than in virgin growth timber
of the same size. On the other hand, when a slow-growing suppressed
forest tree is freed by removing the neightioring trees, it ma.v grow rapidly
for a long period. Therefore it is possible to have some wood with the
characteristics of virgin growth and some with those of second growth
in the same tree. Furthermore, individual trees in a virgin growth forest
may have the characteristics of second growth throughout and vice versa.
Instead of broadly specifying "second growth" or "virgin growth" or
depending upon requirements on the width of annual rings to secure good
material, the Forest Products Laboratory considers it advisable to dis-
regard rate of growth and rely upon density as a guide to quality.

1'ar as the lumber industry is concerned, it is conceivable that at some
perlotls production would be at a ndninuim while stocks on hand at whole-

Prospects for Reduction Good
■■I'rospects for obtaining a substantial reiluction in fndght rates on
liardwood lumber an<l forest products look very encouraging." says J. II.
'I'ownshend. secretary -manager of the Soutliern IIardwo<ul Traffic Associa-
tion, in a letter just issued to members of this organization, in connection
■with the formal complaint recently filed with the Interstate Commerce
("omnilssion on the part of the association, through which it is seeking to
secure restoraticm of rates in effect prior to Aug. 2(>, 1020.
Mr. TownshiMul points out that earnings of the railroads for the months
of June and July are substantially larger than during any month since
last November and that rumors are no longer heard of proltable receiver-
ships on the part of important lines ot railway.
He also shows that there were only 44,712 cai^ of hardwood liMuber
and forest products loaded for the country as a wliole during the week
tending July 30, a decrease of 18,400 cars compared \vith the same week in
102O and a decrease of 10,100 comparer! with the corresponding period
in 1018, He points out that 210,037 cars were loaded with less than
tarload freight during the same wiik. an increase of 21.752 and 77,001.
respectively, for the corresponding weeks in 1020 and lOlf). lie draws
from the foregoing the conclusion that less than carload merchandise is
not hampered by e.\cessive freight rates, while the movement of forest
I)ro(lu<'ts is greatly restricted — cut almost In half — on this account.
Ueferring to the recommendation made hy the Interstate Commerce
Commission for a reduction of 20 per cent in all rates rin live stock wliere
such rates are in excess of 50 cents, in the so-called IJve-Stock Case, Mr.
Townsliend declares that the ''reasons for reducing rates on forest products
are more pressing and can be more clearly shown than those affecting
the movement of live stock."
•'We have every reason, therefore," he says in conclusion, "to feel that
we are going to be very succesful in the very near future in getting rates
on forest ])roduets reduced,"

The foregoing figures are sufficiently in line witli the range of tlie
records of the last few months to warrant the assumption that the work
of its inspection service is at least holding its own irrespective of what
general trade conditions may be or have been concurrently. Total original
inspections for June were 14,043,150 feet and for May 12.744,554 feet.
The record for July, 1020, was 10.409.308 feet, and that was an interval
when the impetus of the lately subsided boom was still appreciably felt
by the lumber industry at large.
I'urtbcn e, the present month of August has thus far displayed such
a demand for National inspection that, barring a decided and unlooked for
slump along its further course, it bids fair to pass the record of any pre-
vious montli of the current calendar year.
New Orleans Solves High Rate Enigma
Imniediate p:iyminl by the goverument of the .<5cM 1,000,000 which it
owes the railroads of the country as claims growing out of F'ederal contNil
during the wartime period is the novel solution for a timely and reasonable
restoration of freight rates being urged by the lumber trade, including all
interests, both pine and cypress as well as hardwood, in New Orleans and
the adjacent extreme southern territory.
This solution of the troublesome freight question was evolved at a
meeting August 10 at the Monteleone Hotel. New Orleans, of the New-
Orleans Lumbermen's Club, which comprises practically all the leading
hardwood interests of the Crescent City and surrounding territory, as well
as other lumber interests. The proposed solution took the form of a reso-
lution adopted unanimously by the club, copies of which were sent to the
Louisiana congressional delegation in Washington and to Louisiana news-
papers with the view of lining up public sentiment behind it.
Tile resnlntiiin, which was dratted by C. H. Sherrili of the Sherrill Hard-
wood Lumlier Company, moved by C. H. Carby and seconded by Maurice
J. Uuvernay, all leading New Orleans lumbermen, also contained a pro-
vision that the question of insisting upon this payment by the government
as the most practicable "way out" be taken up with the Associations of
Commerce. Kiwanis Clubs, Rotary Clubs and other business and commer-
cial organizations of the extreme South, with the view of lining their
membership up behind the movement and having them bring to bear their
influence upon their congressmen to have them give iinmeiliate attention
to the plan before congress takes its regular recess in the near future.
It is pointed out that of all the interests throughout the country being
liurt by the present excessive freight rates toda.v tlie hardwood lumber
industry in file extreme southern section is undoubtedly being hardest hit.
and among the ablest supporters of the plan of the club were C. J. Cop-
pock of the Cybur Lumber Company, Cybur. Miss., and president of the
Siiuihwcstern Hardwood Manufacturers' Club-
Adamson Law Is Attacked in New Orleans
The vital (lucstinns of w;iges. labiu- efficiency and railway freight rates
as tliey affect the hardwood lumlier industry in the South and Southwest
came in for thorough and exhaustive discussion in their manifold ramifica-
tions at the regular monthly meeting of the Southwestern Hardwood
Manufacturers' Club, which was held at the Montelennc Hotel in New
Orleans August 11.
C. J. Coppock of the Cybur Lumber Company. Cybur, Miss., and presi-
dent of the club, following a delicious luncheon, wielded his trusty gavel
of red gum in characteristic vigorous fashion. A. C. Brown of the
Southern Hardwood Traffic .Vssociation. and secretary of the club, was
unable to leave Memphis for the meeting, but his place as secretary was
ably filled by (Jeorge Scliaad. manager of the New Orleans district office
of the Southern Hardwood Traffic Association.
Foremost among the speakers of the day were F. L. Adams of the
Newell Lumber Company, Eunice, La., and a former president of the club :
J. K. Uoblnson of the Pelican Lumber Company. Mound, La. : J. M. Thomp-
son of tile Natalbany Lumber Company. Natalbany, La. ; W. Brown Mor-

in<|uired (.'. II. Sherrill. Continuing. Mr. Sherrill warned the hnuhermen
that any hoju's they might have of any return cd" prosperty wi-re "idle
dreams" until freight rates are re<luced. "A reduction of freiglit rates is
nhsolutely indispensalile to any return to n<oiualcy." he tleclared.
The oulcitme <tf the discussion on the freight (piestlon was that the
blame ii*r the continuance of the present high rates was place(i squarely
upon the shoulders of the Adamson iaw, which was enacted in 191l> to
avert a big threatened railway strike, continued through the wartime
periotl as a result of wartime inflation and kept in fuil force at the present
time, despite the fact that wages for employe's of all classes except rail-
way workers have hit the toboggan slide luinl and ofti-n within the p:ist
twelve nionths.
Having pointed <iut the principal factor producing tiie difficulty, a com-
mittee was appointed to study the question tluiroughly and present at the
next meeting of the club, which will be held in New Orleans Septendter 8,
appropriate resolutions <'ondenining the law and asking for its repeal, at
which time the clult is expccteil to go on record for its removal from the
Federal statute books. President Coppock nanieil tlie following members
to serve on this committee: F. L. Adams, J. M. Thompson and C. II.

The gist of the discussions regarding etfiidency of lahcn- was to the effect
that hardwood workers have shown much improvement withiu the past

have decreased considerably ; it being evident that in nuiny places in the
South and Southwest they have already quite rea<'hed the pre-war level,
and there is no intention on the part of many manufacturers to attempt
further reductions, at least in the near future.
Guy II. Mallam, secretary of the New Orleans Lumbermen's Club,
described to the hardwooil manufacturers the splemlid new ([uarters into
which that organization is now moving, and he invited all lumltermen
sojourning in the Crescent City, whether im'mliers of the club or not. to
make it their regular rendezvous while here. Special facilities will be
providetl for handling their mail and other accommodations will be ren-
dered, he assured them.

Export Prospects Are Much Brighter
A move hoiieful IVclins in i-i'^Mnl to tlif stale of tlH' I'xpovt traile is
now eutcrtaintMl by Ilarvry il. I»i<-l<son, sccrotary of the National Lumliei-
Kxpofters' Asso<'iation. tiian for some time. Discussing; conditions re-
cently, lie saiil :
"From reports received from tlie I'nited Kin^doni tliere is every indica-
tion that American exporters who have accumulated anything like fair
stocks of the higher gradi's of hardwoods need not give themselves \V(U-ry,
ns there will undouhtedly 1m' a market In Itritain for all such American
stocks, .as this country can produce for the remainder of the season at
least. The majority of I'.ritish importers and merchants are well advisiil
as to business conditions in the United States ami, therefore, fully realize
that the higher grades of .Vmerican hardwoods cannot go lower. It is
suggested in many of the trade reports that the i)ottoni has been reached
in so far as these better grades are concerned, and that from now lui,
if there is any change whatever in prices, the changi' will I>e toward
higher rather than lowi'r (piotations. .\ Liverpool correspomlent makes
the statement that everything pidnts to more prosperous times in the
near future; that values of all kinds of .\mi'rican hanlwooils are inclined
to stiffen in the United States, and that when the trade gets under way.
prici's for the better grades will ailvance materially. Reports from
(Ilasgnw are to the effe<'t that dealers there are regaining confidence and
that in the view of the trade values are certain to appreciate. The con-
census of opinion is found to be that prices for .\nierlcan hardwoods have
reached the lowest level and that from now on the ilemaml will Improve
and prices for the better grailes especially will slightly appreciate. The
XL'tmtinental markets are still lifeless and very little improvement is li>oked
for there for months to come."

The Late J. W. Wells
John Walter Wells Dies in Chicago
One cif till' lilRK'-st lijiiM-PK In
the lumber Imlustry of the
Lake States, Jdlin Walter
Wells, president of the J. W.
Wells Lumber Company, Me-
nominee, Mich., illed In Chi-
cago the morn Inn of AuKust
17, at the Presbyterian hos-
pital, after an operation for
stomach trouble. Mr. Wells
was 73 years old at the time
of his death. Mrs. Wells and
two of his sons, A. C. and
R. W. Wells, were at the bed-
side In his last moments.
The funeral was helil in
Menominee on August 21) from
the Presbyterian church, of
which Mr. Wells was one of
the most active members.
.T. W. Wells' career as a lum-
ber manufacturer was a nota-
ble one and his Interests in the
Upper Peninsula and northern
Wisconsin were extensive. Mr.
Wells was a native of Daven-
port, la., and was the son of
Ale.xander Wells, of an early
New England family, and
Julia (Carter) Wells, of Cava-
lier Virginian stock. After
graduating from a commercial college, Mr. Wells in 1869 entered the
employ of the Menonnnee River Hoom Company of Menominee as book-
keeper, lie renmlned in the office only one season and spent the next
three years in various positions, which widely diversified his knowledge of
the lumber business. With this knowli'dge of the industry from both the
office and mill standpoint, Mr. Wells began to look about for timber lands
for himself and prospected profitably in the forests of the Menominee
river region. In 1,S7G he put up the second sawmill to be established in the
Hay Shore lumber district of Menominee. The year following he partici-
pate,! in the organization of W. C. Culbertson & Co., and was elected vice-
president and general nmnager. This company later became the Girard
Lumber Company, now at Dunbar, Wis., of which Mr. Wells was president
at the time of his death. The mill was built at this place in 1SS.8. Mr
Wells was one of the largest holders in the Bird & Wells Lund.er Companv,
which was organized in 1887 and was taken over by the ,1. W. Wells Lum-
ber Company in 1911. This company was organized in 1903 with the pur-
chase of the Menominee mill of the Oirard Lumber Company. In 1S99
Mr. Wells aciinired an interest in the I. Stephenson Company of Wells,
Mich., and became vice president of that company. He succeeded to the
general managership of the company, and it was during his administration
that a large part of the present huge plant was built.
Mr. Wells' activities extended to nearly every important commercial or
industrial undertaking in his district. Among these were the Ford River
Lumber Company, the White Pine Lumber Company, the Llovd Manu-
facturing Company, tbi. Wisconsin & Northwestern Railway ' and the
Menominee River Sugar Company, of which he was president when he died.
Mr. Wells retired as general manager of the I. Stephenson Company in
1907 because he was then largely interested in operations in Ontario. Of
late years he had been curtailing his personal activities in many of the
concerns in which he was interested. For the last few years the actual
management of the ,T. W. Wells Lumber Company had been in the hands
of his son, A. C. Wells.
Mr. Wells was a public-spirited citizen, and his private affairs never
became so pressing that he could not devote time to civic enterprises. He
served Menominee several terms as aldernuin and was three times mayor.
His interests in charities were considerable, and he had always been par-
ticularly concerned in the welfare of deserving boys and young men. The
D. A. R. Boys' Club of Menominee is today a memorial to bis philanthropic
Interest in boys. He financed this club five years ago and It now has a
membership of 700 boys. It is said that as a result of the work of this
club Menominee's Juvenile Court has gone out of business. He was active
In Masonry and was a Knight Templar and Shriner. He was also a mem-
ber of the Rotary Club of Menominee. »
In his immediate fandly Mr. Wells Is survived bv his widow and five
children, as follows: Mrs. C. H. Small. Menominee, Mich., wife of the
secretary of the J. W. Wells laimber Company ; Daniel Wells of Detroit,
Mich., vice-president of the Thompson-Wells Lumber Company ; A. C
Wells, vice-president and general manager of the J. W. Wells Lumber Com-
pany ; Mrs. Arthur Walsh of Houghton, Mich., and R. W. Wells, president
of the Automatic Welding Company of -Menominee, Mich.

The raft came down from Sarrlis in tow of a gasoline boat. The tract
from which the yellow poplar, oak and other hardwood timber in the raft
was taken is extremely dilflcult to get at. The companv set up a portable

July and that several plants, on the other hand, have increased their
working hours.

MEMPHIS
The Franif A. Conltiing Company of Memphis, Tenn., has just completed
an arrangement under which it will in the future handle the sales of Alex-
ander Brothers, Belzoni. Miss., with band mills operating at Junius, La.,
Beizoni, Miss., and Memphis, Tenn. The product of these mills will be
entirely southern hardwoods, specializing in soft textured red gum, plain
and quarter sawn ; cypress, oalt, ash and elm. The production of these
mills, In addition to the company's operations at Percy and Issaquena,
Miss., will give it a daily production of 160,000 feet of choice hand sawn
hardwoods, enabling it to increase the efficiency of its service to the con-
suming trade.
F. V. Kuhn has moveil from Memphis, Tenn., to Macon, Miss., where
he has opened a wholesale hardwood lumber yard under the name of F. V.
Kuhn & Co., and contracted for several mill cuts of plain and quartered
oak, ash and poplar. This lumlier will be marketed through S. B. Sch-wartz
& Company of Memphis.
There is apparently no appreciable change in the attitude of hardwood
manufacturers here toward resumption of either milling or logging opera-
tions. A few Arms are getting out timber and running their mills, but the
vast majority are doing nothing, and, so far as can be gathered, they
contemplate continuing this inactivity for an indefinite period. It is
claimed by the majority tiuit freight rates on logs moving to the mills are
so high as to preclude any possibility of profitable operation when the out-
put has to bear such a high rate of transportation cost when moving to
destination. It is stated freely among hardwood manufacturers that they
would resume logging and manufacturing in a general way if transporta-
tion rates were substantially lowered, but there appears to be complete
unwillingness in this direction under present freight rates on logs and
lumber.
This is the time of year when crews ought to be in the woods and when
timber ought to be in process of preparation for delivery to the mills for
the fall, winter and spring cut. But crews are not even organized. Equip-
ment for logging is widely scattered, and it is pointed out now that some
time will be required, even if the decision is reache<l to resume, to enable
substantial progress to be made. It is suggested, in this connection, that,
If logging is not undertaken in a general way very soon, the quantity of
logs available for the mills in the Memphis and valley territories for the
winter and spring will be the lightest ever known.
The West Memphis Lumber Company had purchased from the Bolz
Cooperage Company 3,000,000 feet of cypress timber on Grassy Lake,
Crittenden County, Ark., and has already established a mill for the develop-
ment thereof. It is estimated that this timber will produce about 1,000.000
feet of firsts and seconds, which will be shijjped to the North and East.
The remainder of the output will be marketed in the Memphis territory
through the yards maintained by this company at Memphis. None of the
timber will go into shingles, as cypress is being rapidly superseded by
compound shingles. Drainage work recently completed in the Grassy
Lake region has made the timber in question available for immediate
development.
Caruthers & Son Company, recently incorporated here with a capital
stock of $10,000, has installed ma<binery making it possible to turn out
all the interior fittings of two homes dally, including doors, window
frames, china closets, book cases and other built-in equipment. The firm
maintains a building service in connection with the plant, where pros-
pective home builders may obtain plans and specifications for their resi-
dences. Louis Caruthers, one of the incorporators of the company, is in
charge of the plant in question.
The Ferguson-Palmer Company. Inc., has completed cutting Its timber
In the vicinity of Iloulka. Miss., and its big plant at that point is now
closed down. The management has not decided whether additional timber
will be purchased in that territory or whether the mill will be moved to
some other location. Headquarters of the firm are located in Memphis.
C. A. James of Memphis is working on plans for the establishment of
a hardwood mill at Marked Tree, Ark., but he is not yet ready to announce
details. It is understood that he is working in conjunction vyith the

selves that the present good business will continue. UIght now our ship-

W. H. Day, of the Wood-Mosaic Co., who is back from a trip Into

according to Mr. Day, who held that in the past two or three weeks demand
for walnut has come much stronger, while there Is also a good demand for
good white oak in plain and quartered, and poplar is good. "We can't

Wisconsin. The original assessment was S30 per thousand feet. C. .\.
Coodman. presi^leiit and general manager of the company, pointed out to
the board of review that this figure was much too high in view of the

The hardwood yards are generally reporting some improvement over a
month ago, though trade is far from active. The tendency is to buy every-
thing in small lots and the demand covers a good variety of woods.
Furniture manufacturers are said to be fairly well satisfied with the sales
at recent conventions. The automobile concerns are not doing much, but
with reduced prices believe that demand will soon be stimulated. Building
is on a fair scale and many good-sized projects are on foot In this and
other large centers.
Handlers of Pacific Coast lumber claim that they are doing better than
the straight hardwood trade at present.

A fair amount of buying continues on tlie hardwood market in Chicago.
Inquiries and orders grow a little bit every day, establishing: an under-
tone of bettor things to come. Nobody Is getting very much business and
there are no really large orders, but all the workers and fighters are get-
ting enough to keep them encouraged. The railroads are buying virtually
nothing, but the furniture industry, vehicle, box and tlooriug people are
buying small urders right along. There Is still a great deal of bargaining
and there is no real level of prices. With the prospect of a further revival
of buying in the fall. the sellers are developing more "backbone" every day.

The hardwood market in Philadelphia and vicinity shows continued
improvement. The unsteady conditions of the month seem to be disap-
pearing, and while the activity in hardwoods Is not as noticeable as in

The disposition of the small dealer to sell at almost any price is passing
now that a general feeling is abroad that prici^ will advance, although
low-grade oak and maple flooring is being sold at almost ridiculous prices.
The steadying of the market has eliminated much of the disastrous price-
cutting war. Upper grades are firm.
Most encouraging reports come from furniture manufacturers. The
.\ugust sales have been excellent, portending increase<l business. Several
department stores have announced that their sales have gone over 'last

When After Efficiency Don't Forget Economy
By ./. L. SEAMAN

The word
efficiency has
been woefully
overworked in
recent years
and thus to a
certain extent
has lost its
effect i ven ess.
In striving for
this much-to-
be-desired goal
many a manu-
facturer has
overlooked the
complementary
word economy.
True efficiency
prevails in a
plant when all
operations are
performed
speedily, with-
out confusion
or undue effort
and when the
quality of the
product is im-
proved rather
than sacrificed.
Is not that economical manufacturing?
Using the term economical instead of efficiency seems to re-
move some of the glamor with which the latter word has been
surrounded and with it the tendency toward over-organization,
elaborate systematization and the use of multitudinous forms and
charts. Not that such things have not their value and place but
in going to the extreme in systematizing, economical operation is
often overlooked and the goal missed. As the idea can be ap-
plied to one operation as well as to the plant as a unit, it is well
to work out and develop efficient operating methods in a gradual
manner. Here is a suggestion which may prove of value to some
readers of Hardwood Record.
Many woodworkers and manufacturers of panels and plywood
find that trimming and sizing this stock is a tedious job. With-
out a double cut-off saw, which is the most satisfactory machine
for the purpose, the pieces must be handled several times before
they are squared up and finished. The operations which must
be performed include straightening one edge, ripping to width
and finally cutting to length. In the case of a panel with a
center joint it is difficult to size it so that this joint will be in the
center of the panel and parallel with the edge.
Here is how this operation was simplified and production
speeded up in one factory. In the first place templates were made
to correspond to the finished sizes of the work going through.
For small panels the templates were made solid of either three-
ply or straight lumber, while for the larger pieces they were
framed as illustrated. A number of screws were driven in from
the back and allowed to protrude through about an eighth of
an inch, then filed to sharp points. The short lines, shown on
the edges and ends, mark the centers. Figure I shows panel
ready to be sized with template in position on top. In the case
of a matched panel with a center joint in laying on the template
the center lines on the ends are placed directly over the center
joints. If the veneer had been matched in quartered effects the

An Equipment to Simplify Panel Trimming and Sizing
template would
be placed with
the (our lines
directly over
the joints. In
actual practice
it has been
found that the
indentations
made by the
fine points do
not show when
the pieces are
cleaned up and
finished.
To use this
template a spe-
cial piece must
be fitted to the
guide on the
saw table. This
is shown in
figure 4. There
are many ways
in which this
might be at-
tached. If in
almost con-
stant use and
for work of
different thicknesses it might be fastened to the fence with a couple
of small bolts, properly counter sunk. In that event either the
block or the fence should be slotted vertically to permit of a
vertical adjustment to suit the thickness of the panels going
through. In setting, the edge of the piece B is set in line with
the outside of the saw. It will follow that when the template
with panel below is run against the piece B, the panel will be
cut the same size as the template. Using what is known as a
mitre saw, and keeping the teeth sharp, the four sides are trimmed
without laying the piece down. The saving effected in labor
and handling is obvious and the 'esult is a panel which is cut
true, square and to the dimensions required. The safety feature
of this method should not be overlooked for the saw is so covered
that the danger of accidental contact w^ith it is practically
eliminated.
To insure accuracy and uniformity a number of gauges as
shown in figure 3 were prepared to suit the different sizes cut.
These could be made of either hardwood or light iron plate, A
gauge of this kind not only tends for greater uniformity but is
found very handy if any of the panels require to be duplicated
or if there are repeat orders lo be filled.
This work differs from the usual run of sawing operations in
that the material is all sized outside the saw. In handling targe
stock, especially in cutting to length, a certain amount of diffi-
culty is experienced in holding the work flat on the saw^ table.
This may be overcome by attaching an extension top as show^n
in figure 4. This was made of inch square hardwood glued to-
gether to make a top of a suitable width. Hardwood blocks
w^ere fastened on the underside which brought the thickness of
the extension top and the blocks equal to that of the iron rim.
Holes were bored in the rim to accommodate the hanger bolts
which were screwed into the two edge blocks. When put in
place and the nuts tightened the two tops are brought into line

A Brief for Sound Wormy Chestnut
By J. M. rritchmd
Mr. Mayhew, of the W. M. Rilter Lumber Company, has
broujjht to our attention the fact that a British court has entered
a judj^ment of $3,000.00 against a manufacturer of pianos on
the grounds that Wormy Chestnut used as core wood in the
manufacture of piano cases is liable to be infected with worms or
injurious germs, which class of lumber is prohibited from importa-
tion to Great Britain, and the probabilities are the said piano
manufacturer will be compelled to remove from England the piano
cases in question, unless something may be done to bring about a
repeal of this decision of the British court.
Mr. Mayhew has secured several opinions as to whether or not
Wormy Chestnut used as core stock contains any infectious germs
and the unanimous opinion is that Wormy Chestnut does not
contain any infectious germs or worms when used as core stock or
base for veneer, and that any worms or germs which might have
been in the Chestnut tree will be destroyed during the process
of seasoning the lumber and the application of hot glue. All agree
that Wormy Chestnut ranks as the very best hardwood for core
stock and these opinions are upheld by Professor T. E. Snyder,
Specialist in Forest Entomology, who is recognized by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture as being an authoritative expert in matters re-
lating to insects affecting forest products.
The following are excerpts of Professor Snyder's letters on this
subject :
"Your letter of the 6th instant, addressed to the Bureau of Ento-
mology, has been referred to this office for attention. In reply, we
beg to state that sound wormy chestnut is much less liable to insect
injury than ash, oak or hickory. In fact, we do not know of any
authentic case where chestnut has been attacked by Lyctus powder
post beetles after seasoning.
"The insects which infest living chestnut trees are entirely dif-
ferent from Lyctus Powder post beetles and are timber worms,
namely a Lymexylon beetle technically known as Lymexylon seri-
ceum Harris. You are perfectly right in stating that sound wormy
chestnut is not liable to be infected with worms.
"We take pleasure in enclosing pur publication on Lyctus pow^-
der post beetles and their control. You will note that those insects
work only in the seasoned sapwood of hardwoods and, as you know^,
chestnut does not have a very large amount of sapwood."
"Your letter of the 24th has been received and we take pleasure
In Bulletin of American Hardwood Manufacturers' Association
in giving you the following additional copies of our publication on
powder post beetles.
"We believe that sound wormy chestnut as a core or base
for veneer is more suitable than any other hardwood which you
could use, particularly as the sapwood of other hardwoods is in-
fected by the very injurious insects described in the pamphlets sent
you, whereas chestnut is never so attacked.
"As you know, sound wormy chestnut is a trade name which
has been in existence in the lumber markets for many years and
applies to chestnut timber which contains holes made by timber
worms while the tree is living in the forest. These insects attack
the living trees through knots or broken branches and make
holes through the wood of the living trees. After the tree is cut
and the wood dries out, these insects will not continue to w^ork in
the wood and, hence, the wood is graded as sound wormy chestnut.
"We consider the utilization of sound wormy chestnut a matter
of conservation, since such wood can be used when covered by
veneer, whereas it could not be utilized, on account of the worm
holes for ordinary uses.
"You may be interested to learn that a very large percentage of
all chestnut timber is affected by these worm holes — indeed, in
some localities as high a percentage as 75, and there is no trade
prejudice in the United States against the grade sound wormy chest-
nut, since it is w^ell realized that it is not actually infested by worms,
any more so than pecky cypress lumber is infected by disease.
"If there are any further details which we can give you, we shall
be glad to do so.
"It seems to us that a strong point to emphasize in your appeal
is that chestnut lumber is not infected by insects which are ordi-
narily destructive to other hardwood veneer and the core or base of
hardwood veneer. This injury is fully discussed in the pamphlets
sent you."
It is astounding that the British court has rendered any such judg-
ment against the use of Wormy Chestnut and the seriousness of the
situation is that if such a decision is allowed to stand, it could
logically follow that wood of any kind containing worm holes, might
be excluded from the importation into Great Britain. We shall lend
our earnest co-operation in an effort which will be made through
proper authorities to have this injustice in the case of Wormy
Chestnut replaced.
Williamson Plant One of the Best and Largest
Improvements and extensions made at the works of The Wil-
hamson Veneer Company, at Eighth and Baltimore streets, High-
landtown, a suburb of Baltimore, have made this plant one of the
largest of its kind in the country, if not in the world. It occupies
not less than eight blocks and consists of six large buildings, besides
a big yard for the storage of all kinds of woods used by the com-
pany in its business. The enterprise is of Western origin, having
been established more than half a century ago at Indianapolis,
Ind., by Marshall D. Williamson, the father of the present head
of the company and one of the pioneers in the production of
veneers. Because Mr. Williamson came to regard Baltimore as
possessing great advantages over the West he removed the works
to that city in 1 900 and was eventually succeeded by his son,
Dwight W. Williamson, now active as president, and the latter's
son, Roger W. Williamson, as vice-president and sales manager.
The business has steadily grown, vindicating the judgment of the
founder, until now woods from nearly all parts of the world are
received there to be turned into veneers for a great variety of
purposes.
The cutting mill is equipped with one of the largest veneer
knives in the world, this implement being not less than seventeen
feet long. There are besides four ten-foot rotary veneer machines,
two seven-foot stay-long veneer machines and two saw mills.
After being sawed into suitable lengths and trimmed the logs are
placed in steaming vats for from I 2 to 24 hours, after which they
are ready for the knives. Walnut and mahogany are cut into strips
making 28 to the inch, with oak and poplar sliced 20, 16 and 8
to the inch. These strips are then put through the dryer on rollers
in a chamber where a temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit is
maintained. .After that they are ready to be stored or packed for
shipment.

and the extension held firmly in place. To provide additional
support two braces, B, which fit snugly agianst the underside of
the table are attached to the blocks by screws.
Were it not for the fact that the table top is tilted once in a
while a couple of supports could be dropped to the floor. Addi-
tional rigidity might be given the extension by dropping a couple
of bolts down tlirough the iron to to engage the braces under-
neath. With this rig the work was carried on expeditiously and
accurately and with a minimum of effort.

to win admirers.
This fact is as true of furniture and wood products,
as anything you can name. For that reason, we give
particular attention to the surface — in the matching
of grains. Our veneer woods are chosen from the
the finest sources, domestic and foreign. And our
men are trained for remarkable skill and care in the
matching of grains. Then a rigid inspection of fin-
ished panels keeps Algoma Panels up to the highest
standard of beauty which fine woods can offer.
Beneath this surface is the character which makes
Algoma the Better Plywood. Order from Algoma
for your next job, and "Algoma Plywood" will
become your standard.

The operations of the Wood-
Mosaic Company function
with precision because every
step has been part of a well-
conceived plan. The basic
thought is a plant for each
type of production. Thus,
every foot of Wood-Mosaic
hardwood lumber and ve-
neers in walnut, oak and
poplar is produced in a plant
designed especially for the
manufacture of each class of
product.
This holds from the logs,
which are the careful se-
lection of a trained corps
of twenty timber buyers,
through the final operations
of handling the manufac-
tured product, special equip-
ment having been provided
for each unit of manufacture
so that the lumber and ve-
neer product may be always
correctly dried and further
prepared for consumer's use.
We solicit the opportunity of
demonstrating the value to
you of such an organization.

Furniture Industry Is Attacked
It is understood that the manufacturing branch of the furniture
industry would welcome the investigation of the prices of house-
hold furnishings, which is provided for in a resolution introduced
in the Senate on August 8 by Senator Kenyon of Iowa. The manu-
facturers have chafed at the fact that retailers in general have not
followed their own price recessions as closely as they should and,
therefore, by resisting the course of liquidation in the industry,
have reduced the volume of demand and retarded recovery from
depression.
This resolution would authorize the Federal Trade Commission
to look into and report on the causes of factory, wholesale and
retail prices of the principal household furnishings industries and
trades, beginning January I, 1920, with especial reference to the
activities of associations in the furniture industry.
The demand for an investigation originated with the American
Federation of Farm Bureaus, whose president, J. R. Howard, de-
nounced the prices of lumber, building material and household
furnishings, which he says have failed to respond to deflation, for
reasons which reports of the Federal Trade Commission have in
part disclosed. Lumber and building materials, Mr. Howard said,
are 202 per cent of 1913 prices still, while household furnishings
are 250 per cent above 1913 prices. The prices of house-
hold furnishings are in a class by themselves, he declared
and are "entirely out of line with prices of any other group.
He complains further than these prices reach 371 per cent of
1913 level in October, 1920, "having continued to rise for several
months after prices of most other commodities had begun to de-
cline." He said that his bureau had made an effort to find out
whether any further declines in the household furnishings group
might be expected and had been assured by nearly all concerns
interviewed that no further declines are anticipated. "We have
heard," he concludes, "of strong associations operating in certain
branches of the furniture industry, of a trust in the glass industry
which dominates the situation, and of similar conditions with re-
spect to other important articles included in the household furnish-
ings commodity group."
Ross Manages Butternut Company
The Butternut Veneer Company, a new organization formed a
year ago at Butternut, Wis., has placed its new factory in operation
under the general management of Theodore Ross, formerly with
the Park Falls Lumber Company at Park Falls, Wis. The plant is
modern in every respect and buildings and equipment are new
throughout. The concern has a large volume of business on its
books and looks forward to an uninterrupted run at capacity during
the fall and winter months.
Transit Privileges for Plywoods
The Southern Hardwood Traffic Association is in receipt of ad-
vices from the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company that it is
willing to establish transit arrangements at Louisville, Ky., on
built-up or compound wood when manufactured from logs.
This means that manufacturers of these products can bring in
their logs on net instead of gross rates, thus effecting decided sav-
ings in freight rates thereon.
C. B. Allen Named to Hoover's Board
Secretary of Commerce Hoover has notified C. B. Allen, of the
Allen-Eaton Panel Company of Memphis that he has been selected
to represent the "plywood panel industry," on the Hoover Confer-
ence Board, which meets monthly in Washington in the interests of
American business, according to information received in Chicago
on August I 9 by M. Wulpi, commissioner of the Plywood Manufac-
turers' Association. Mr. Allen is first vice-president of the Plywood
Manufacturers' Association and a very active member.

Small Shop Notes
Any one who visits small wood-working shops can not fail to
be impressed with the fact that workmen in these places must get
along as best they can with the facilities available. Developments
and improvements in modern wood-working machines, however,
have helped the little fellow as well as the large concerns.
For example, some time ago 1 visited a small cabinet shop and
found two men at work jointing the edge of a 2 x 16-inch x 12-toot
piece of redwood, on a little motor-driven bench jointer w^hich
takes its power from an electric-light cord. The bench jointer
is mounted on a stand to bring it to a convenient working height,
and a wood table extension is placed at each end to support long
material. This machine, 1 learned, is used for all kinds of odd
jointing and beveling at the shop in question. It is performing
not only the work for which it was intended originally, but also
a considerable percentage of heavy work. It has enabled the
operator of the little shop to "get by" without installing a regular
jointer, which would cost more money, take up more room and
require more horse-power.
When 1 dropped into a little one-man furniture shop recently,
about the most conspicuous, if not the largest object that came
under my gaze was a newly-sanded, oak veneered panel, ap-
proximately 32 X 44-inches, lying on trestles in the middle of a
littered-up room. The quartered white oak face w^as well matched
and of good figure. Closer examination disclosed that the panel
was five-ply and 5/16-inch thick.
The craftsman came forward, and, observing my apparent
interest in the panel, said, "How's that for a table top?"
"All right, if it were only thick enough," ! replied.
"Well, I'm going to make it thick enough," he declared, and
pointed to a poplar frame, clan^ped up and leaning against the
w^all near his stove. The frame consisted of two stiles, two end
rails and three or four middle rails, which had been carefully
mortised, tenoned and glued together. The net size of the stock
used was probably I J,^ x 2Yi inch.
The old craftsman displayed a knowledge of woods and glue,
as he pointed out that the back of his five-ply panel was gum, and
that this would glue well to the poplar frame, since the woods were
similar in texture and would take glue excellently. He is going
to glue the veneered panel to the open poplar frame and then
edge-veneer the top thus made, with thin strips of oak veneer.
This construction should give a moderately light but very sub-
stantial top one that will stay "put" under all conditions, once
that it has been permanently attached to the table.
My friend explained that he had also made flush cabinet doors
on this principle, using an open framework for core, facing it
with factory-made thin three-ply panel stock and backing it with
3/ I 6 or 1/4 inch single-ply gum veneer. His greatest difficulty, he
says, is to obtain the various ply-panels he needs, from local panel
and furniture factories. Often these concerns do not have what
he wants, in stock, and they will not make up a special size or
kind unless an order for at least fifty is given.
In another small shop 1 found a workman truing up and crown-
ing the face of a wooden pulley, revolving it by hand against a
faceplate covered with sandpaper. The pulley was too large to
swing in the lathe, so its center hole was fitted to a wood bushing
which was clamped in almost vertical position on the lathe bed.
Had a flat-face pulley been required, the bushing would have been
set absolutely vertical or square with the bed. but a slight tilt was
given to it to hold the pulley at a slight angle. Half the pulley face
was then ground off while the pulley was tilted one way, and the
remaining half was sanded down while it was tilted to the same
degree in the opposite direction. This brought the crown in the
center of the pulley face.

WHAT does it mean to you as a buyer to
have implicit confidence in the source of
your most important raw material supply?
For instance, all informed buyers recognize
the true superiority of northern grown hard-
wood lumber and veneers— the product in
which we specialize. Big customers stay on
our books for years because it is easy for
them to determine that we never have cut
anything but the genuine northern grown logs
in oak, walnut, maple, ash and other major
species. The same sincerity maintains with
our rotary cut poplar offering. And withal is
that correctness of manufacture and honesty
of contact with customers that has been the
bulwark of this business for over a half
century. It will profit you to know us better.

THE PAST AND PRESENT IN MAHOGANY
Company Is Formed to Make New Adhesive
Makers of veneers and of furniture have had their own troubles
with the glue problem. Costs were high and heavy losses were
incurred from irregularities in quality when the glue was applied.
Messrs. Arthur D. Little, Inc., of Cambridge. Massachuseets,
were engaged by The Plywood Manufacturers Association to pro-
vide a method of standardizing the conditions so that they might
obtain the desired uniformity of application of glue in their
processes of manufacture.
In the course of this work they found that they could do much
more than they had undertaken to perform as a result of a dis-
covery by Dr. C. K. Reiman, of their staff, who developed a new
glue of remarkable adhesiveness, stability, and evenness, and
which could be made at a cost which materially reduces the
burden of expense to consumers.
The next step was to organize a corporation to manufacture it,
which is now^ in active operation under the technical supervision
of the organization that produced it. In other words, they made
the invention and then put it through.
The invention is featured in their exhibit at the National Expo-
sition of Chemical Industry in New York.
The factory of the Madden Woodwork Company of Waukesha,
Wis., was burned to the ground on July 18. A decision concern-
ing rebuilding is expected momentarily. This will require an en-
tirely new building and practically new machinery throughout.
The Plymouth Furniture Company, Plymouth, Wis., which
closed its factory July I for inventory, balancing stocks, etc., has
resumed operations at about 50 per cent of capacity, which will be
increased as business conditions warrant larger production.

Killing Molds on Lumber by Steaming
Molds thrive on the surface of wood when it is moist and warm.
In a dry kiln molds often develop on the surface of the lumber
to such an extent that they seriously obstruct the circulation of
air throuj^h the pile. This is such a decided hindrance to suc-
cessful kiln drying that steps must be taken to prevent the mold
growth. Various experiments have been made by the Forest
Products Laboratory to find a means of accomplishing this result
without injury to the lumber.
The safest method found of stopping the growth of mold on
lumber in a kiln is to steam the stock at 170 or 180 degrees for
a period not exceeding an hour. This treatment heats the sur-
face of the stock sufficiently to kill the mold, and at the same time
the saturated air prevents too rapid surface drying, so that the
injurious efi"ects w^hich otherwise would be produced on the wood
by such high temperatures are avoided.
Unless it is desired to relieve drying stresses at the same time.
the interior of the stock should be heated as little as possible.
Therefore, the steam supply should be sufficient to reach the
desired temperature in 25 or 30 minutes. To accomplish this
result, plenty of live steam at a pressure of at least 70 pounds
gauge must be available. The size of supply line and the number
and size of perforations that may be required in the steam jet line
will vary with local conditions; it is impossible to make them
too large or too numerous, as the quicker the steam is supplied
the better the effect.
Care should be taken to see that the stock cools in nearly
saturated air. Otherwise the surface will dry too rapidly, and
case-hardening difficulties will set in.
How a Veneer Maker Sees Conditions
The following is the manner in which present economic condi-
tions are sized up by the Chicago Veneer Company of Illinois,
which issues a monthly market letter over the signature of its
president, Benj. W. Lord.
"When a very sick person passes the danger point, it is a
great relief although the patient is weak and must be watched with
extreme care and recovery is slow and tedious. This is the way
we feel about business conditions today.
"The corner has been turned, the worst is over, but all business
must be watched and nursed very carefully. Recovery will be
very slouf and probably not noticeable until after October first.
Improvement will be gradual and we do not expect any boom or
big business for some time for the reason that the general public
has not the money to spend and there is so much unemployment
that the purchasing pow^er is greatly reduced.
"There are still a number of sore spots that must be healed, but
even these seem to be improving and there is a general feeling of
confidence in the attention that has been and is being given to
business conditions in Washington."
State Buys Veneer Company's Land
Papers authorizing the purchase of 181 acres of land adjoining
Turkey Run State park, ow^ned by the Hoosier Veneer Company,
of Indianapolis. Ind., were signed a few days ago by Governor
McCray and members of the Senate finance committee and the
visiting committee. The additional tract will bring the acreage of
the state park to about 469 acres, the park being under the super-
vision of the state conservation department, of which Richard Lie-
ber is director.
Condemnation proceedings for possession of the land in the
Parke Circuit court in 1920 were brought by the state and ap-
praisers were appointed by the court to fix the value of the land.
Under the agreement the state is to pay $9,733.40. or approxi-
mately $55 an acre.
Allen Will Manufacture Disc Wheel
C. B. .Allen, president of the Allen-Eaton Panel Company of
Memphis has secured a patent on an automobile disc wheel to be
made of laminated w^ood. He will manufacture the \\-heel in Mem-
phis, but is uncertain yet whether he will do this at the veneer and
panel plant of his company or will organize a separate company for
that purpose. Mr. Allen also had patented the glue which will be
used in manufacturing the new^ disc wheel.
Progressive and Compartment Dry Kilns Compared
All dry kilns now on the market are either progressive or com-
partment kilns. in the progressive type the drying conditions in-
crease in severity from one end of the kiln to the other, the material
being moved into severer conditions as it dries. In the compart-
ment type the same temperature and humidity prevail throughout
the kiln at any one time, beginning with mild conditions and in-
creasing in severity as the material becomes dry.
The kiln-drying data and experience of the Forest Products
Laboratory indicate that each type has particular advantages on
certain points, as follows:
August 25, 1921
Hardwood Record — Veneer & Panel Section
49
The progressive type of kiln requires less skill in the operator.
It consumes less heat per pound of water evaporated from the
wood, but the saving of steam possible should not be considered
so important as the question of ability to perform the work re-
quired with the best results. The progressive kiln reaches its great-
est heat efficiency in drying from the green state and is most useful
in circumstances which permit of its being supplied continuously
with green lumber of one thickness and class. It is, however,
impracticable with this type of kiln to give individual attention to
special loads of lumber.
The compartment type of kiln is more flexible and aflfords
greater control over the drying conditions, permitting less change
in temperature, humidity, and circulation in the kiln with varia-
tions in the wind and weather. It is better adapted to meet the
varying requirements of different kinds of material and is most
useful where exact and careful drying is required, as in the han-
dling of refractory woods.

is to groan.
As a result of siih's for the past several wei^ks. eonslsting iilinost entirely
of upper grades, all of the mills \vhleh have heen operating llnil themselves
loaded down with lower grades for which there Is no demand. There have
been some few sales nnulc at the lowest t. o. I), price in .years. The
inabilit.v of the ndlls to dispose of this class of nniterial has discouraged
others from starting operations. They point out that the margin on upper
grades is low enough, ami if they are compelled to lieep thi- low grades in.
their yards they can't make costs.
There has been an increase in the nnnilier of inquiries, Imt there has
been practically no change in tln' niindier of orders placed and they are
obviously for immediate shipment. In contrast to this generally discour-
aging situation, orders are exceeding production and this Is bound to have
a favorable reaction sooner or later. Mills that are down now have heen
closed long enough to insure this a permanent condition until there is a
revival in both |irice and demand. This Imjiroved condition must also
reach the lower grailes bcfon> Ihe situation will be satisfactory to manu-
facturers.
Prospective lower freight rales have served to keep buyers out of the
market, and this has also had its effect upon thi> ndlls. This was par-
tially realized on August 19 when reductions In rates to Oklahoma, Kansas.
Nebraska and Iowa were announced. These reductions ranged from 2
per cent to l(i per cent, whicli will help southwestern mills that much in
competing with other sections.
CLEVELAND
Little change in tlii' hardwood situation can he noted in the last fort-
night in tliis nnirket. Something of a spurt has been given to interior
finish deniaml. including oak and maple llooring, in the last week or ten
days, inspired liy the nearing of completion of the housing that has been
built during the early part of the season. But big business still is almost
skin to the well known hen's teeth. Such hardwood disti'ibutors who
have been concentrating upon the manufacturing intlustries for outlet for
the better grades <]f nniterial, report that there is nothing to show Imme-
diate or extensive revival in that direction. The big bulk of business in
this connection must come from the automobile and allied industries, and
these advise that their active season is over for this year, and will with-
hold active material purchases ftir the time being. There seems to be
little question but what business could be done in this direction if hard-
wood distributors were able to cut prices considerably, but most members
of the trade in this nmrket assert that as far as present holdings are con-
cerned, and they are still fairly liberal, further cuts are not likely. Before
the active building season is over for this year it is expected that supplies
of hardwoods for interior trim will be quite absorbed, and with the incom-
ing of new material at prices which already appear to be lower at producing
points a probable readjustment of figures locally may be seen. In the
face of not too favorable conditions at the moment the market can be said
to be holding its own fairly well.
BALTIMORE
Conditions in the hardwood trade here show no decided changes either
for the better or for the worse. The business reflects the state of affairs
to be observed in many other activities, with signs of improvement visible
from time to time, always being followed by a relapse to the previous quiet.
When members of the trade think that the corner has actually been turned
something is apt to occur that will upset calculations and make one (eel
that little or nothing has been gained. The calls for hardwoods fluctuate,
orders coming in with a measure of freedom some days and slumping on
others. Furthermore, it looks as if each separate transaction is governed
by circumstances peculiar to itself and stands in no relation whatever
to what may have gone before. It is this that makes calculation so difli-
cult and leaves the producers not less than the dealers pretty much at sea.
A great deal depends upon the situation the buyer or the seller may find
himself in. If a buyer needs the money and must have it, he will natur-
ally entertain suggestions of concessions: but If, on the other hand, he has
no pressing financial requirements he is apt to turn down the price offered,
and, In some instances, get what he asks, while In others the deal may be
off, hut the seller still holds his lumber to try again. This is responsible
for the rather wide fluctuations that prevail in the trade and that make
price lists to a large extent useless. The feeling prevails, however, that
the worst is over and that at least the basic conditions, such as credits,
are more promising and are certain to bring out business of a satl.sfactory
character later.

till' iiunkt't to replenish their stocks. The tone of the market is consid-
• lahly improved and it is believed that the worst of the slump is over,
Uetail storks, especially in city sections, are not large. Building opera-
iloiis havo heen holding up fairly well and many of the building projects
liave been advanced to a point where interior finish and other hardwoods
are needed. In some instances retail stocks are ralher badly broken.
KactnrieN making furniture have placed a large number of inquiries for
hardwoods, but so far orders have been limited. Considerable business
from that source is anticipated during September. 15<»,\ factories are buy-
ing low grade stocks rather steadily. Other factories are going slow in
placing orders. Prices are steady at former levels. There is not nearly
tbe spread thnt <hMracterize<l the prici- list earlier in the summer. Much
of tile distress lundn-r has been disposed of.
CINCINNATI
Business was ln'iter the last two weeks and thcmgh it was not by an.v
iiieajis brisk, a more hopeful feeling seems to prevail, many of the dealers
an- inclined to believe that the worst is over: at least all signs*seem to
)»nint that way. Tlie volume of inquiries was larger and (luite a number of
tliem were from large consumers, furniture and automobile manufacturers.
which leads to belief that their stocks are low and that they are almost
n'ady to replenish for the fall and winter business. Sales were not large,
but they were more numerous and for somewhat greater quantities. First
and seconds of 4-4 white and red oak, red gum. ash and poplar were in
most active denunul and prices for these were firm at previous quotations.
There was also a little better demand for the lower grades of hardwoods.
esijecialiy sap gum, but the prices for them were not uniform nor especially
strong. There has been a slight let-up in the flooring: business. Building
operations are not as brisk as they were in tbe forepart of last month.
and this may be responsible for the falling off. Some dealers report a
scarcity of upper grades, but it is the unanimous opinion of the hardwood
lumbermen that there is enough stock on hand to accommodate any unex-
IM'cted spurt in the demand. Some of the concerns here who are engaged
in the export business take a more favorable view of the outlook abroad
liecause of the buyers" refusal to place orders has resulted in a depletion
"f stocks and a positive scarcity is said to prevail. Tbe retail yards report
a slight increase in demand and a large increase in inquiries for fall
building. The interior trim and flooring mills are working at capacity for
the most part in an effort to clean up present ordAs and get in shape
for the fall business.
INDIANAPOLIS
With the exception that inquiries from the furniture industries are
itecoming more numerous, little change can be seen in the market here.
The demand from the industrials continues to be rather dull and outside
the furniture inquiries there is little that would offer encouragement. The
box manufacturers report a slight slump in business as compared with
the month previous and manufacturers of interior trim, doors and sash
say orders are not so numerous, though they are looking for a good fall
business am] the mills are working at full time yet. Prices are staple,
with uppers much stronger than common. Tbe railroads are buying some.
though the volume is small as compared with normal. Among the rail-
roads here tbe large part of the activity is being confined to repairing bad
order cars in preparation for a revival of business in the fall. It is esti-
mated that in this particular branch of railroad activity the volume of this
work l)eing done is the greatest since the roads were taken over by the
government. Retail yards report a slump in deniaml. but are looking for
a good fall business.
EVANSVILLE
There has not been mxich improvement in trjuli- wiili the harilwood
luniher monufaeturers of Kvansville and southern Imliann during the past
month or six weeks, but the manufacturers continue to look on the bright
side of the trade picture and believe that it is but a question of time until
trade shows a decided picking up. Some of the manufacturers say that
the first or mid^lle of September ought to see some improvement in trade
and tliat while they are not looking for anything like a boom in business
that they do believe things will get a whole lot better. Collections are
holding their own very well and general business conditions in Kvansville.
as well as the other towns and cities in southern Indiana, southern Illinois
and western anil northern Kentucky, have gradually improved.
MEMPHIS
It is very difficult to gain a clear Idea of the hardwood situation in
-Memphis at the present time for the reason that different members of the
trade differ so radically as to current business. It is geneially conceded
that demand is not at all aggi'essive. and it is likewise conceded that prices
.ire along a pretty low level, even for the higher grades, which are rela-
tively very scarce. Some assert that business is poorer than it has been
for a number of weeks, while otiiers say they are finding larger outlets

sumiug approNimat(dy 1.000,00(1 feet a ilay. that they will liave to entei-

wliich he places at approximately 200.000,000 feet, lie reports that the
hnn with which he is connected has ilone twice as much business durinc
the current month as during the nuuith of July, and that it.s business, on a
footage basis, is as large as at the corresponding time last year. He
believes the building era now well started In this country will contiuui'
for a very long wliili'. and he points out that the most modest homes must
now be ei|Ui|<ped with hardwood lloiu'lng.
Furniture interests are not buying actively, at least directly. It is
pointeil out, however, tliat furniture manufacturers are taking the rather
adroit route of making purchases through wholesale distributers as a
means of concealing their wants from manufacturers. A number <d'
important inquiries have been received in this center during the past
fortnight from wholesale interests conveniently located with respect to
furniture idants and manufacturers of lumber who are in receipt of these
ini|uirii's accept them as proof jiositive that furniture interests are getting
into tile market in a rather larger way. There is quite a fair amount of
liusiness with wholesale dislribiucM-s, and this is regarded as quite encour
aging.
There is a fair demand for ash and elm, and in some instances for thick
quarter sawn red gum from autcunobile manufacturers, but demand fr
this sour<e is not as large, as the trade anticipated in the light of the
more encouraging reports received from the automobile Industry. It is
pointed out that there is a very large quantity of stock cut, especially f<ir
ihe automobile trade, which is having to be carried for the reason that
it is. apparently, not wanted under present conditions.
r.ox iiKinufacturers are doing a better business and are in the market
in a larger way for Nus. 1. 2 and 'A cuninuiu lumlier, used in the manufac-
ture (d" wooden containers. Some members of the trade report substantial
improvement in the demand from this source.
There is also a better demand for hardwoods from overseas. No large
liusiness has been booked as .vet, but there are more inquiries and the out-
look for larger exports of lumber is considered more encouraging. At least
one in(piiry for a rather large quantity of liardwood lumber has been
received from South .\merica.
"I regard tlie hardwood market as working into the soundest funda-
mental position it has occupied for some years," said a well known manu-
facturer today. "I must ailniit that stocks are pretty large, but the liat
stati'inent that socks are large needs qualiticaion. There is a consideralile
quantity of lumber for which there is no present demand, special stock
cut for special purposes. But this is not true of many other items. Plain
oak occupies A strong position today for the reason that stocks are already
very much broken, and for the aiMitional reason that, with a liig pros-
pective demand from flooring manufacturers, very little, relatively speak-
ing, is lieing produced. There is no large supply of red gum in firsts and
seconds or in No. 1 common, and 1 doubt if there are more than 1.000,000
feet of firsts and seconds quartered white oak available in the entire
Jlemphis market. There is a shortage of firsts and seconds in virtually
all items, and very little firsts and seconds is being produced umler present
non-operation of the vast majority of the mills in the South.
"1 believe that a very substantial improvement in the luirilwond market
Avould follow any revival of importance in liuying."
NEW ORLEANS
Though a few minor reductions have been ma<lt' ret-ently on the lower
smiles and pnnUiction still shows no increase, the number of inquiries for
several kinds jind grades of hardwood proiUiots increased very noticeahly
iiml the liardwood market for the Louisiana iind Mississippi territory, taken
as a whole, shows a most gratify iiiK improvement within th<' past fort-
night.
The bulk of the increase of intiuiiies has been coming in principally from
wholesalers throughout the Xortli :ind East, chlelly Philadelphia and New
York nnd other big centers in those two states, and from the luciil market,
which is at last beginning to show some real signs of life. Thougli Mexico
continues , to be a back number, b:iving fallen from the position of a liig
consumer !is a result <if the difficulty over the (piestion of tax on the impor-
tntion into this country of Mexican petroleum several weeks ago, the exptu't
movement as a whole has been ipiiekened to an appreciable extent and
hardw<iod products are moving int") ('nba. Spain and elsewhere with con-
siderably more impetus.
The automobile manufacturers remain ina<-tive still, lull this is probal)ly
more than offset by an improvement In the demand from furniture manu
facturers. who have been buying sniuewhat m<»re lil)erally within the past
two weeks.

ho mentioned No. 1 common an<l better red gum, sap gum aud some oak.
Some first and second quartered gum also is being purchased.
There remains but little demand for the lower grades. There are large
lilocks <it these grades in man.v quarters and the fact that much of It is
.showing signs of deteriorating has induced the manufacturers and whole-
salers to make furtlior sacriflces on this quality of their products. The
freight rates out ot this territory ,ire another important factor, which
forces the hardwood people of New Orleans and vicinity to dispose of the
lower grades of hardwood at almost sacrificial prices.
LOUISVILLE
The situation is much better and the local hardwood men are more opti-
mistic than they have bc<'n in weeks past. Many inquiries arc being made,
.■I fair volume of orders accepted, and movement is steadily getting back
toward a more normal level. Some interests report that there is still too
much cheap lumber, and that some buyers have set prices at which they
will buy if lumber is offered them. In some cases they have set a level
that is $6 to $10 a thousand under the general market, and are buying
stock that they are in no material need of, but which they figure is worth
Inlying at under the market.
I)eniand has been fairly keen on Ijlack walnut, which today is outselling
mahogany in price, and which isn't any too plentiful. Good quartered
white oak, plain oak. poplar, gum and red gum are all moving fairly well
MS compared with previous movement. There is some littje export business,
but the bulk of business is on domestic shipments, principally to furni-
ture and woodworking industries. .Jobbers are buying a little stuff for
rcsliipnu'iit, l)Ut are not stocking much yard stock, except a little stuff
lioiiglit from i'<)untry mills as well below the market and rehandled. sorted,
graded, etc.
MILWAUKEE
Im.irovement. although it is slight, is reported generally by the hard-
wood producing industries of the North. A better demand is appearing, due
to the practical exhaustion of stocks in woodworking industries of all kinds,
which makes replenishment imperative. Buying, however, is largely of a
Iiand-to-month character, and orders are individually small and specify
iiuick shipment. -V fair aggregate is represented by bookings. The demand
lias been of a consumptive character for a long time and the encouraging
feature of the present market Is that orders, while small, are being placed
with greater frequency.
Sawmills generally have finished the summer run and are closing down
lor repairs, overhauling and balancing of stocks. Planing mills, however,
are being kept in operation. Mill yards are well stocked and sufficient to
keep planing mills supplied for a considerable period ahead. Current
orders are of such a nature and aggregate volume that finishing mills prob-
ably will be in production through the remainder of the summer and the
fall months.
Construction of buildings in Milwaukee is forging ahead and while lim-
ited mainly to dwellings, a fair requirement of hardwood flooring is
appearing every day. Retail stocks are very low and need frequent
replenishment. .A number of large apartment houses are under construc-
tion, taking some hardwood trim.
Industrial demands are slowly increasing. Furniture factories are again
in the market, although not to a large extent. Musical instrument manu-
facturers are buying sparingly. Box and crating stock makers find busi-
ness a little better than since spring. Railroads are taking some stock,
but requirements are as yet light, with the prospect, however, of some
healthy buying when financing through governmental assistance becomes
a fact.
Prices arc gradually becoming stiffer, especiall.v on the top grades, which .
are relatively scarce. Some dealers say medium and low quality stuff is
firmer, as the surplus of these is steadily being reduced.
TORONTO
Hardwood lumber dealers and mills are somewhat cheered by slightly
better business. A fair amount ot business is developing, and although
the volume as yet is not large, prospects are considered as fairly bright.
Elm and basswood has been moving a little more freely and indicate an
era of better \>usiness. A number of Ontario firms have received consider-
able business in these lines, elm being used by Implement dealers and bass-
wood by furniture men for kitchen table tops. Birch is also in a little
better demand, and thick ends, firsts and seconds in birch are also being
subjected to considerable Inquiry from the United States. Hemlock is
down. One Ontario mill is stated to hare sold three million feet a few
days ago at less than half the figure obtained for that line ot wood last
season. In the opinion of nuiny the sale will not net the firm cost.
Markets are being sought by other producers, .and it is the general opinion
that unless there is a change in the market the hemlock cut next season
will be very small. Generally speaking stocks in most of the retail lum-
I'cr yards have been allowed to run down and most of them are low. No
one is inellned to order beyond immediate requirements and stocking up
is an unknown procedure at the present time.

LARGE HARDWOOD TIMBER TRACT
"THE BEST QUALITY, LARGEST BODY

been over and examined the property. Located
In one of the Southern-eastern States, very
convenient to transportation and the markets,
containing in excess of 80,000 acres and cruis-
ing approximately 850,000,000 feet of the highest
grades of Hardwood timber. Trees on this
property from five to eight feet in diameter are
common and the quality is excellent. There is
also some equipment, mill, bunk houses, etc.,
etc., which are included with the sale. Amount
originally invested in this tract was in excess
of $3,500,000 and It has been carried on the

EMPHIS is visited by more do-
mestic and foreign buyers than
any other lumber center in the
country. Why? The alluvial
delta of the Mississippi river is famous as
the richest land in the v/odd. The best
hardwoods grow on the best soil. The sale
of all this hardwood, the finest in the coun-
try, centers in or through Memphis. All
Southern species of satisfactory quality and
variety are available. Oak, gum, ash,
hickory, cottonwood, cypress, willow, tupelo,
red cedar. Memphis is the department
store of the hardwood industry — first in
quality, first in service. Let her serve you.

General Market Conditions
rSIXESS IS STILL PLODDING ALONG the road to the
future, ratlier weary and ragged and cautious in its steps,
but conscious that the worst of the mires :uv l)ehind it and that
somewhere ahead lies the warm fire glow of prosjierity. The con-
sciousness that the worst is over and that the goal is within reach
is inspirational, even though it be a fact that other rough spots
must be passed. In the beginning of the long journey through the
sink holes of the past year and a half, the procession started 100
per cent fit, rendered strong and confident by unprecedented pros-
perity. Some dropped immediately, others fell out of line in the
midst of the gruelling punishment, but the outstanding feature
was the steadfastness with which business withstood the shock of
depression. Hakdwood Becord has cautioned that any increase
in business failures which might come now in the face of current
slight improvement in conditions could not be attributed to further
slump in business, they being rather the result of a thorough
exhaustion entailed by the long and arduous fight. Many have come
through the worst part of the journey unable, either because funda-
mentally not strong enough, or because of unfortunate judgment,
to conclude the final steps to prosperity. The toll will be heavy
during the next few months, though gradually decreasing because
of slightly returning strength brought about by the stimulus of
slowly improving business.
The claim that the road ahead will permit consistent progress,
.■ilthough marked by difiicult spots, is borne out l)y the circum-
stances. In the furniture trade, for instance, the much, improved
prospects immediately following the furniture shows have recentlv
been rather dissipated by cancellations of slack orders since then.
Hahpwood Becord, though, still insists that good furniture, cor-
rectly priced, will find a market. Then, too, in connection with the
furniture sales it must be remembered fhat building records are
.-ictually favorable, and that an exceptionally high percentage of
the total is in residence building. Large quantities of new fur-
niture will go into these homes. The difficult feature is the surplus
of older designs, manufactured before the new lines were put out
, _,at the July markets, and in most cases merely to keep factories
Cvjand workers going. The most active sales were in the new articles,
, — the result being a practically nil movement of the warehouse stock.
Hardwood Becord is of the ojiinion that right prices would have
moved considerable of this stock and can be counted upon still to
considerably reduce it.
The whole country has been cheered by evidence of improvement
in the South, due to the advance of cotton, but will be shocked by
the sudden drop a day or two ago. It must be remembered, how-
ever, that this latter influence is without a doubt the result of
usual manipulation, it being a further encouraging fact that the
cotton men apparently were not overly optimistic as to the rapid
advances holding, the belief being rather general that the rise was
more rapid than was justified by actual conditions. Attention is
called to the rather analogous fact that in the South a short crop
is looked upon as a favorable feature. A very large measure of
the weakness in lumber and business in general has resulted from
the disastrous collapse of cotton values, ;ind the vast frozen credit
resulting from the impossibility of moving cotton at any price.
Now, though, with cotton movement substantially improved, even
though the drop in cotton value set them back again somewhat,
the credit situation in the South will be eased. The result, of
course, can not be in the nature of improved sales. Just as impor-
tant, though, is the matter of increased financial strength behind
the stocks already piled at mills. Kven the slightest measure of
improvement in money condition in the South, due to cotton
improvement, will directly react favorably upon Southern hard-
wood lumber, and the degree of this improvement in lumber will
be in direct proportion to the improvement in cotton. A noticeably
better tone has been experienced of late in Southern sections, due
to the widespread betterment in the cotton situation. The current
reaction will, of course, have its effect, but the net result is a sub-
stantial gain over the recent low ebb.
It is, indeed, pleasing to note the consistency with which build-
ing is fighting to gain its normal position. While there is still a
general dearth of large projects, the total figures arc encouraging,
and the heavy percentage of resident construction, either houses
or apartments, is a good omen in that such work averages a sub-
stantial portion of wood. The millwork trade is in general reported
to be doing a brisk business, and a further reflection of the build-
ing activity is seen in the strength with which the demand for
building lumber holds.
At the preseiit writing it is not at all unlikely, though not as
yet provable by definite statistics, that at least ninety per cent
LU

of the Soiitlicrn liiirdwood producing capacity is inactive. In tlie
North a wliglitly larger percentage of sawmill equipment is still
running, though on short supplies of logs, which soon will be
exhausted. In the spring H.\RDWood Becord predicted that by
the lirst of July seventy-five per cent of the hardwood lumber to be
made this year would have been manufactured. That prediction
held substantially true, and it is safe further to predict that by
the end of September practically all of the hardwood lumber to
be made this year will have gone through the mills. In the mean-
time, with the production of new stocks practically at a standstill,
the gradual shipments, even though meager in some cases and
considerably below normal in others, are wearing away at the
excessive stocks. Ju.st by way of graphic illustration it might
not be amiss to state the situation in figures. Present mill stocks
arc probably not more than 100 per cent of what was formerly
considered normal. Shipments on the other hand might be assumed
to be sixty ])er cent of normal. Were everything working smoothly
and normally it would take an average of about six mouths to turn
over a mill stock. Thus at the current rate of shipments, the entire
available stock would be exhausted, providing current plans for
almost total curtailment were not altered, within nine or ten
months. This, of course, is a theoretical deduction, but is based
on conditions that are actually existent. One observation which
may be gained from a survey of this situation is that the future
of the hardwood movement will not depend so much upon the rel.a-
tion between production and shipments as it will upon such im-
provements in the financial strength behind present holdings as
may develop. Thus evidence of gradual, though apparently real
improvement of financial conditions in general and such special-
ized movement as is likely to be brought alioiit tlii-dUKh liottcrnient
in cotton conditions, are noteworthy.
HAUDWoot) Recoud is still entirely of the opinion that the
remainder of this year and the early months of next will be given
over largely to the rebuilding of foundations for new business
jirosperity without those visible signs of progress which are more
discernil)le as the superstructure is erected. This period will likely
be marked by certain leveling in values with the constant tendency
to growing firmness in prices, which firmness will of course be eom-
batted with decreasing persistence by the offerings of those whose
financial position may now be, or may become, jeopardized.
Hakhwooi) Kecoiui further believes that it is not at all beyond
the realm of possibility, though by no means eert.ain of develop-
ment, that there may be distinct flurries in hardwood items follow-
ing changes in supplies and demands as they are shown to material-
ize with succeeding montlis. In other words, as frequently stated
before, the general movement will be gradual and for betterment
with the possibility that improvement in the hardwood lumber
situation may come abruptly, due to apparent betternu-nt in deiiKuid
and growing evidence of broken sujiplies.
The War God Must Be Overturned
WHEN SENATOK WILLIAM E. BORAH, the prophet of dis-
armament, declared that it "is the most vital problem in the
world today ' ' he did not exaggerate.
It was singularly appropriate that the senator should have made
this statement to the business men of the country through "The
Nation's Business," the jiublieity organ of the Chamber of Com-
merce of the United States. Disarmament is a problem which
should profoundly interest the business man, because it is largely
an economic one. During the three years since the conclusion of
the World War the business men of the country have been cease-
lessly harassed by the heavy burden of taxes which was acquired
through our participation in the war. They have wracked their
brains to discover some abracadabra, by the saying of which they
might lighten this load. But no such magic is to be found. All
their thinking has come to nothing, and they have accomplished
about as much as a squirrel chasing his tail in a revolving cage.
Now disarmament offers a solution to the stubborn problem.
Business men could do nothing more worthy of men of their
responsibilities than to interest themselves in this question and see
that it does not suffer from indifference. Disarmament can only
be accomplished through a thoroughly aroused public opinion, not
onlv in this country, but in all other major nations, and American
business men will be doing a tremendous thing if they exert their
influence to bring about this favorable incitement of the public
mind.
It is evident that the world's burden of government, which is
another way of saying taxation, would become only nominal were
the nations relieved from the necessity of going about armed to the
teeth. This is common sense that could not be more obvious.
Therefore, the inescapable answer is — " Disarm 1" It is civiliza-
tion's only hope of salvation. The logical conclusion of a con-
tinuation of modern armaments is the destruction of humanity, and
the giving over of this beautiful world to the lion and the jackal.
For the inevitable result of armaments is war. It has been so in
the past and it will continue so in the future. We have seen that
it takes only a spark to set a world afire and a few more burnings
such as we have just passed through and man 's race will be run.
The Tragedy of High Rates on a Hand-bill
A STAR WITNESS for the Southern Hardwood Traffic Associa-
tion in its fight before the Interstate Commerce Commission
for lower rates on hardwood lumber has come from Eunice, La.,
through the mails. It consists of a hand-bill ujion which the Newell
Lumber Company, Ltd., announces that it will sell a half million
feet of inch oak lumber four to fourteen inches wide, for $7 per
wagon load. In order to excuse this ridiculous prodigality the
company explains that the lumber is offered at this figure because
of "excessive freight rates, which do not permit us to ship certain
grades of hardwood lumber to cousuming points."
It is necessary to say very little more concerning this matter.
The whole tragedy of confiscatory freight rates is told in this hand-
bill, except that conditions are even worse at mill points where
there is not sufficient population to absorb any appreciable quan-
tity of lumber. At these places, and they are in the majority, the
lower grades must be burned or sold for cost, or less. Of course,
this can't go on. It is unbelievable that a reasoning body, such as
the Interstate Commerce Commission is presumed to be, can refuse
to lift »•) devastating a haniliea]! from a wortliy industry.

A *'Hawk " in the Furniture Barnyard
Covert Methods of Cincinnati Attorney in Campaign Against
Misrepresentation of Furniture Invoke Condemnation
The inrorc wliieh one Georgo S. llnwke of Cincinnati, Attorney
and Counselorat-Law, has created in the furniture iniUistry and
trade may be likened to tlie disturliance which results in a populous
barnyard when a real hawk of the bird genus swoops down to pluck
a victim. This lawyer Hawke has created consternation, auger,
resentment, disgust, curiosity (in quantity) and perhaps even sym-
pathy. The apparent anonymity of a part of his campaign against
misrepresentation for walnut or mahogany of furniture made par-
tially or wholly of other woods, caused first the American Walnut
Manufacturers' Association and then the Mahogany Associ.-ition to
disclaim any connection with the campaign and express their strong
disapproval of the methods pursued.
Condemn.-ition of this covert method also issued from other
sources. In an editorial appearing in its issue of August 25 Hard-
wood Record took notice of the "Friendly Warning" which
Hawke 's agents had been sending to members of the retail furni-
ture trade presumed to be misrepresenting walnut or mahogany
stained furniture as genuine. Hardwood Record condemned this
|)rocedure in unequivocal terms, declaring that this propaganda,
"while resting on a good principle, is ill-conceived, and because its
source is anonymous and its spirit steeped in misrepresentation, its
re-action must eventually be harmful." The Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World, sent out a bulletin from their New York head-
quarters disapproving the Cincinnati attorney's methods in very
emphatic terms. "From the literature which has been sent in to us
it appears,'' .said this bulletin, "that Mr. Hawke is conducting his
campaign for the purpose of discouraging the imitation of walnut
and mahogany used in the manufacture of furniture, and he has
asked the co-operation of local Better Business Bureaus in his
work.
Upon its face the matter wonlii appear to have merit. l>ut the methods
n'hich Mr. Ilawke, apparently proposes to [)ursue in contUicting his cam-
paign are not iu line with ttie work heing flone h.v this committee and do
not meet with our .approval.
Mr. Ilawke's plans as detaileil to us incluile the sendiujr out of anon.v-
nious niptices or "Friendly Warnings." He states that he is not permitti'd
to divui^i' the names of men whti are backing his movenieut and so words
his literature that prosecution is implied.
In our endeavors to correct wrong nu'rchandising and advertising prac-
tices, it has been this committee's experience that temporary compliance
with its suggestions are not sufflcient ; that educational methods are to
l)e preferred because they are more lasting.
We never send out anonymous communications and do not coniiteuance
tlireats even by implication, anil the purpose of our work as well as the
names of the men who stand behind the work, are at all times open to
the public.
This bulletin was signed by Richard H. Lee, counsel for the
advertising clubs, and tran.smittcd to H.\RDW00D Record by Frank
F. Fish, secretary-treasurer of the National Hardwood Lumber
Association.
An Extensive Propaganda
But these anonymous warnings, which received such prompt ami
general condemnation, were only a small part of Attorney Hawke 's
campaign against the so-called misrepresentation of furniture.
Over his own signature he sent hundreds of letters to retail fur-
niture dealers asking these dealers, in the strictest confidence, to
inform upon any other de;iler in their section who might be offering
for sale gum or l)irch furniture under the name of walnut or ma-
hogany. Similar letters were sent broadcast to furniture manu-
facturers and likewise to newspapers and jieriodicals, though in the
case of newspapers the.v were asked to disclose the name of any
publication known to them which might be accejiting advertise-
ments misrepresenting furniture.
Preceding the propaganda over the Hawke signature there came
letter,-, from a certain • • K. .Scoggin, Home address, 1702 Valence
St., New Orleans, La.," app.-irently dovetailing with the Hawke
attack on the furniture industry, but having no positively provable
connection therewith. These letters appealed to the public to
realize the extent to which it is being hoaxed by so-called walnut
and mahogany furniture and were sent to the newspapers and trade
periodicals throughout the country. Some of them found their
way into print and resulted in an exchange of letters between
Mr. Scoggin and A. ('. Brown, secretary of the National Alliance
of Case Goods Manufacturers, which revealed some asperity on
both sides.
All of this ])ropaganda and correspondence stirred up such a con-
fused discussion of Attorney Hawke and his jmrposes that Hard-
wood Record decided to go direct to that gentleman to put him on
record in so far as possible as to his specific intentions, his backers,
the procedure to be used in carrying out his threatened prosecu-
tions, and the progress to date of his campaign.
Statement From Hawke
Under date of September 2, Mr. Hawke replied:
Our plans are to discourage nnsrepresentatlon of furniture in the ad-
vertisements of retailers and of the retail furniture .salesmen to the public
and any misrepresentation to the retail furniture dealers on the part of the
manufacturer. II is interesting to note that while many of the retailers
write to us and blame the manufacturers, we cannot get a single manu-
facturer to admit that they are in any way at fault, but tliat on the
contrary the retail furniture buyer knows or ought to know just what
he is getting. It is not our wish in the least to discourage the nnnnifac-
ture and sale of furniture nuide of the cheaper woods. They have a very
proper place and no one would be foolish enough to deny or dispute It,
but we do think that when the public asks for walnut or mahogany fur-
niture, that they should not be sold gum or birch stained walnut or
mahogany color. You will be interested to know that some salesmen and
some stores call anything and everything nnihogany that has a mahogany
color, irrespective of the kind of wood of which the furniture is made.
I cannot give you the details of the program at this time, but from
the favorable replies of the newspapers of the country, I know that they
will refuse to accept the advertising of firms who wo can prove guilty of
misrepresentation and then we will be ready to put on an e<lucational
campaign of newspaper advertising to the public, directed so that it will
insist upon leceiviug the kind of furniture it wants and asks.
Withholds Client's Name
In reply to tlie rcipiest that he give the name of his client in this
campaign Mr. Hawke had this to say:
I wish to say that my connection with the movement is pundy pro-
fessional, that of attorney and client. The movement is for the benefit
of the buying public, and we have the strongest endorsement of many of
the country's largest retailers of furniture as well as others. It is financed
and backed by men whose standing is the highest. I am not permitted to
divulge their nanu's at the present time, because they do not care to run
the risk of l)eing boycotted by concerns who do not favor the nmvement.
Thus it will be seen that there is little hope of finding out from
Mr. Hawke just now the idontit.v of the "man higher up." There
has been a great deal of gossip as to the identity of this person, or
persons, but thus far there is nothing in this regard authentic
enough to warrant publication.
Mr. Hawke declared in his statement th:it "a great nation-
wide interest has been aroused in our campaign and we have
received many hundreds of replies and many valuable suggestions
from all over the eountrv.
The program which we have mappi'd out for ourselves is ([uite extensive.
We have circularized Iwi<'e the retailers of the whole country and the
nmnufacturiTs once. In addition to this we have written hundreds of
personal letters. TlU' replies which wo have received have been very
Interesting and most encouraging.
Mr. Hawke was asked if he had begun a specific prosecution and
under what statutes .ind in what courts he expected to proceed.
He replied to this:
16
HARDWOOD RECORD
.September 10, 1921
We have not yet heKun any spcclllc prosecutions, liut plans have been
made along several lini'S for lliat purpose, the most Important of which
are of course the spc-ilIU: complaints anil cases InvoIvlnK Interstate com-
merce, which we win lUc with the Feileral Trade Commission. In the
ileolslon of those cases liy the Federal Trade Commission we hope to be
able to get them to announce Just what is meant when furniture is
described as walnut or mahocaiiy- Whether a piece of stained birch or
gum wltli a small amount of real wood can be designated mahogany or
walnut "finish" and Just when (be words "iiiiltatlon" or "combination"
can be used, etc., etc.
I cannot In n brief letter lay before you all the various laws un<ler which
we could bring prosecutions, but I will Just refer to a few. For Instance,
the Advertising Law of Kentucky. I have It In the form of House Hill 40.
.\iso Orilinance 271, Series 11)1 -1, of Ihe city of Louisville, Ky., being an
ordinance to prevent tiaudulcut, deceptive and misleading advertising.
.\lso advertising laws under the rcniil Code of the United States, section
44H and section 210. etc., etc.
Following this, Mr. Hawke remarks that ho has had "a number
of interesting interviews with furniture men and lawyers who have
come to see me since tlie inauguration of this campaign."
Labeling Law Suggested
As a remedy for the misrciiroscntation against which he is cam-
paigning Mr. Hawke advises that a labeling law, such as suggested
by "a Minnesota manufacturer of dining room furniture," has
received wide and .-ilmost unanimous endorsement. Scores of let-
rers sent to furniture manufacturers liavc elicited favoralilo replies,
he says.
This Minnesota manufacturer suggested that a label be placed
on each article of furniture by the manufacturers, "setting forth
the material used, and a law fixing a punishment for the removal
of such label before the final sale to the customer."
Mr. Hawke concludes his letter with this statement:
Now I have tried to answer your letter as briefly as possil]le. and will
be glad to answer any furtlier questions which you may have, if it Is in my
power to do so. We feel th.ir we need your assistance as well as the
assistance of all other honest l)Usliioss men who intend to succeed along
honest lines. This misrepresentation, as you are well aware, works a
serious hardship upon the honest dealer and we wish you could see the
hundreds of commendatory letters which we have and we would be glad
to show them to your representatives if you can at any tnne favor us
with a call.
Methods Not Aims Resented
There seems to lie no quarrel with Mr. Hawke on the score of the
desirability of stopping the misrepresentation of woods in furniture.
All of those who have had occasion to disclaim him or to indulge
in controversy with him agree that there is nothing that any
strictly moral-minded person can say for misrepresentation of any
product. "What they do object to, and this most seriously, is the
resort to anonymous "warnings," the apparent effort in all com-
munications to dealers and manufacturers to intimidate them by
a veiled threat of prosecution, the steady refusal to disclose the
identity of the backers of the campaign, and the actual misrepre-
sentation that has appeared in some of the correspondence, namely,
in one of the Seoggin letters. In this case Mr. Scoggin stated that
"there is no genuine mahogany that comes out of the Philippine
Islands. There is a very good substitute, the U. S. Government
says, for mahogany coming from the Philippines. There is one
manufacturer I have in mind who is putting out solid mahogany
furniture and he is making it out of the Philippine substitute, and
ho is calling it genuine solid mahogany and is shipping it inter-
state, and trouble may overtake him before he realizes it, as the
Government has requested information along these lines and the
Government is liable to get that information."
Some of the users of Philippine mahogany who read this state-
ment were greatly distressed by it. The Indiana Quartered Oak
Company of Long Island City, N. Y., importers of Philippine
mahogany, write that they have told their "customers that as far
as Philippine mahogany is concerned they could set their minds
at rest, as the Forestry Bureau, for many years, has classed
African and Philippine mahoganj' together as commercial mahogany
in their official bulletins and reports on mahogany imports. We
liavo also called their attention to the fact that neither African
nor Philippine mahogany are true mahogany botanically, the only
true mahogany botanically being 'swietenia mahogani,' which
grows only in the West Indies and parts of Mexico, Florida, and to
a small extent in the northern part of South America."
.All mahoganies are sold with the prefi.v, showing where they are cut
and Ihe character of the wood, viz.: Cuban, Mexican, African and
rhllippine.
African mahogany and Philippine mahogany are and have been for
many years recognized as "commercial mahogany." and the fact that
neither of them is true mahogany botanically is of no practical importance.
Also, the Eastern Freight Classification Committee classes Philippine
mahogany with Mexican and African, and this wood has to pay the same
freight rate, viz. : 5th class.
.Many experts are unable to distinguish Philippine mahogany from
African when finished, and the only reason that Philippine mahogany
is sold at less price than -African is because it is manufactured in the
Philippine Islands, pays no duly, and only the upper grades are exported.
Consequently, the freight and high cost of manufacture and duty do not
have to be charged as ovrrhend to the upper grarles to off-^et the loss on
the poor end.
Denounced by Mahogany Club
before proceeding witli tlie interesting history of the anti-mis-
representation campaign as sliown by the correspondence of Hawke,
Scoggin and others, it is only fair to the Mahogany Association
to quote a letter of condemnation received from J. C. Wickliffe,
acting secretary of the association, from the headquarters •in Xew
York City. To quote the letter:
There has come to our attention the conimeudaI)le article in your
-August 25 issue entitled "Deplorable Propaganda." dealing with certain
anonynmus literature that recently made its appearance, purporting to
come from a "Hardwood Lumber Salesman," and which is directed at the
retail furniture trade.
Inasnnu/h as both mahogany and walnut are mentioned In the so-called
"Friendly Warning" leaflet, we regret you did not have the opportunity
to communicate with the Mahogany -Association before your issue went
to press,
t'nfortuiiatel.^'. the vocaluilai-y permissible in ijublic diction Is woefully
inadequate to appropriately express disapproval of such methods as were
made use of in this literature referred to. But holding itself within the
prescribed liounds this association desires to register its strongest con-
demnation of such methods and to classify them as in Its opinion merit-
ing the contempt of all reputable members of the hardwooil industry. ■
This scurrilotis leaflet came to our notice almost coincident with copies
of certain letters of similar vein, bearing the signature of one G. S. Hawke.
and appearing on the letterhead of Geo. S. Hawke, attorney-at-law. First
National Bank building, Cincinnati, Ohio. Because of the mention of
mahogany in both the leaflet and these letters this association felt it
incumlii'nt upon itself to make an investigation of this man's activity. It,
consequently, sent a representative to that city and ascertained that Hawke
was the party who had issued both the signed letters and the anonymous
literature. It was able to ascertain the name of the party Hawke claimed
had retained his services. The success of our investigation, which is still
under way, might be Jeopardized by publishing this name at the present
time. It is our hope that ultimately we shall be able to uncover the real
individual responsible for Hawke's pernicious activity.
The Mahogany .Association will regard it as a favor it H.^bdwood
Recoup will give publicity in its next Issue to this letter to the end that
the hardwood industry and the furniture industry (both manufacturing
and retail) may bo apprised of the effort that is being made by this asso-
ciation to definitely and unquestionably ascertain the identity of the pei"-
petrator of this covert attack upon the good names of both.
The first appearance of the propaganda which has stirred up
a sizeable tempest in the furniture and hardwood industries,
was in the following letter which was addressed to newspapers and
trade periodicals, with the idea of securing its publication:
Do you realize, Mr. Reader, that probably 75 per cent of the furniture
you imagine is made of real walnut and real mahogany is mere imitation,
sometimes with a very thin layer of veneer of the real wood stuck on
the top? Very often the imitations are very poor and fade out,
shriidc and warp out of shape a year or two after you have paid for them.
Further, do you know that you have no redress simply because you do
not know the technical description of Imitation. When you are told furni-
ture is w^alnut finish, raaboganized and birch mahogany, it all means
furniture made of inferior wood, often cheaper than common pine, that it
has been stained with either walnut or mahogany coloring matter.
The United States government has a pure food and drug act which
compels the manufacturer to plainly state on the label when It is an imi-
tation or substitute, etc.
Please Immediately write your senator or representatives at Washington,
D. C.. urging them to pass a law compelling manufacturers to label their
furniture with their name and address and guaranteeing the kinds of
woods useil in different parts of each piece of furniture they manufacture.
What honest argument could there be against such a law?

Association Cost Accounting Delimited
Member of Federal Trade Commission Sets Limitations, Which Are Disputed by
Head of Millwork Cost Bureau in Defending Methods of His Organization
"Au adverse decision as to average costs eoiild not be construed
as a criticism of the methods" of the Millwork Cost BureaUj accord-
ing to a letter written by F. J. Moss of Kansas City, Mo., president
of the Bureau, to Nelson B. Gaskill, acting chairman of the Fed-
eral Trade Commission.
Mr. Moss's letter explained in considerable detail the methods
employed by his bureau and was written as the result of a state-
ment issued by Mr. Gaskill, in which the latter heartily endorsed
the education by trade associations of their members in proper
methods of cost accounting, but expressed the opinion that an
organization which went beyond this and attempted to reduce the
individual costs to an average or uniform cost basis and procure
the use thereof by the group would be tending to become, or would
actually become, an unlawful combination acting in restraint of
trade.
While explaining that the mctliods of his bureau do in effect
depart somewhat from strictly individual cost . accounting, they
do not, Mr. Moss said, result in "average costs as to materials nor
as to labor." He expressed the confident belief that the Govern-
ment could do no more than ''look with favor upon the work
being carried on by" the bureau. In fact, he pointed out to
Mr. Gaskill that "the activities and records of the Cost Bureau
have been investigated by the Department of Justice without one
word of adverse criticism." Furthermore, "The investigators
of the Federal Trade Commission have made similar investigations
with only words of commendation." In this connection the exact
words of Mr. Hurley, former chairman of the Federal Trade Com-
mission were: "It is the most classic thing that has been Ijrought
before the Federal Trade Commission."
Mr. Moss said that he was "astounded" at Mr. Gaskill 's sugges-
tion that the cost lists issued by the Millwork Cost Bureau "might
be used to form a combination in restraint of trade." The lists
could be so used, Mr. Moss admits, but "of the millions of lists
that are issued covering everj- conceivable line of product, any
one of them might be used as a basis for an agreement in restraint
of trade. But to assume that it will be so used is manifestly unjust
to the industry. Might as well prohibit the publication of a table
6t contents of steel or wood, which is based upon averages, or pre-
vent the use of any scientific method which might be used illegally;
might as well close our public schools where mathematics are taught,
which might be used in restraint of trade.
"Our lists, as all other lists, are published in the interest of
economy, and if any man or group of men use such lists illegally,
it is their acts, and not the lists, that should be held accountable,"
he continued.
The Commissioner's Opinion
Commissioner Gaskill 's opinion was that the issuance of these
lists "is a trend toward uniformity of selling price and the lessen-
ing of competitive sales on the basis of efficiency. The effect might
be — in the absence of an ability to forecast consequences, we can-
not say it will be — to characterize the Bureau as a combination to
lessen competition and to restrain trade, even to create monopoly,"
the Commissioner said.
Mr. Gaskill 's views on the legality- of the Bureau's methods were
expressed at the request of Mr. Moss, who desired to have them in
connection with a proposal to incorporate the Bureau.
The Bureau's Methods
In order to clarify Mr. Moss's contentions it is now necessary to
quote the greater part of the description of the functions of his
Bureau which he gave to Commissioner Gaskill. He said:
You can understand that to install a cost system, the effect of whidi
woHlil be only to relied tlic piolit or loss u|)oii a given pl.-ce of work after
it has been sold and manufactured, without being In position to avoid con-
tracting unprolltable business, would be of no avail, and serve no purpose
further than to gratify one's curiosity as to the outcome In each individual
case.
Therefore It was deemed advisable that in addition to being In posi-
tion to supply expert cost accountants to our members, a part of our
work would consist of assembling information from all members, bascil
upon their experience of the cost of manufacturing any particular product
or article, and that such Information should be used for the purpose of
compiling a list, which list would be subject to such discount as any mem-
ber might see flt to make.
Here let me suggest the main purpose of lists, not only In our Hue. but
all lines, which Is to reflect differentials as to different sizes and kinds.
That is to say, if experience proves that it costs a certain amount of money
to manufacture an article of a certain size and design, a list is prepared
with a view of truly reflecting the Increased or reduced cost of manu-
facturing a similar article of the various sizes that might be called for.
these lists and differentials, as stated, in no case being a cost or selling
price, but a list from which a discount Is made according to the discre-
tion of those making a price.
I realize perfectly well that names and organizations may l)e used as a
cloak for doing illegal acts in restraint of trade ; but from the Inception
of the Millwork Cost Bureau there never has been, so tar as I know, a
single word spoken or written bearing upon anything except the purpose
as set forth, namely, the installation of cost systems and the gathering and
disseminating of information bearing upon costs.
I note in yours of July 12 you approve of individual members establish-
ing their own costs, but you question the legality of what you term
"average costs." If you were conversant with the situation you would
realize that your suggestion of individual members estalilishing their costs
in advance upon the various designs called for, is impossible of accom-
plishment for various reasons ; namely, a planing mill Is constantly called
upon to produce new designs, and a new design might present but little
difference in appearance, but represents a tremendous difference in the
cost of production. This identical article might have been produced at
some other plant or In some other section of the country, and under our
plan the experience as to costs of a plant located at any point is assembled
and made available for other members who might be called upon to pro-
duce the same article. If this information were conflned to the product
of one plant making a price, the estimator or mill man would of necessity
be compelled to guess as to the probable cost; and ordinary prudence
should suggest that a price be made sufficiently high to cover any cost
growing out of uncertainty.
Not Afraid of Courts
Unfortunately these costs are frequently very nmch in excess of what
even an experienced mill man would have reason to anticipate ; and it
seems incredible that any commission seeking to support industry would
frown upon any plan that would permit of intelligent pricing, at the .same
time leaving each individual person or concern absolutely free to quote such
price as they might see fit. Neither can I believe that any court of Justice
would even seek to discourage the procedure as outlined.
I wish to direct your special attention to Exhibit Xo. 110-1 enclosed
herewith. This is the form used by the Cost Bureau. Please note at the
top of each page the following :
COST KXIIIBIT SERVICE. These Cost Exhibits are Issued
to serve the membership as guides in predetermining the probable
cost of similar work. All information from which they are com-
piled represents an actual experience of some member — firm — the
only change from the contributor's record being that Material is
computed at rates representing the Chicago market. Wages and
Burdens at rates representing an average of the entire member-
ship. The Total Costs thus obtained should be recalculated on a
basis of your own rates to reflect your own conditions. See blank

You will observe that the attention of the member is called to the fact
that these exhibits are Issued to serve the membership as guides in pre-
determining the probable experience of some member-firm, and that the
only change from the contributor's record being that material is com-
puted at rates representing the Chicago market. This should make plain
to you that there is no attempt to use an average cost of material to all
members. Necessarily some basis must be used, and the Chicago market
was naturally selected because our office Is located at Chicago. .\t the

In the matter of wages and Imnlens, as stated, tlin average oC the meni-
hershlp reported Is used, hecauso It would be ridiculous to use as a Itasls
the time lonsumeil or the wages paid b.v any Imllvldual meniher, which
might vary greatly; and the law of averages is the best possible; guide.
Please note the next paragraph — "The Total Costs thus obtuineU should
be recalculated on a basis of your own rates to reflect yovir own condi-
tions." Could there lie iinylhlng more dellulte or plain that the whole pur-
pose of the work of this organization is to acquaint each Individual mem-
ber with his own costs, leaving him free to quote such prices as he might
see fltV
Now, as to your suggestion that each individual memlier should con-
duct Ills own cost system, the Hureau Is constantly urging the necessity
of this procedure, liut In the case of a large number of the very small
operators, the employment of a man competent to conduct a cost system
luteiiigentiy would represent a cost that in their opinion would be exces-
sive ; hut ns stated, no concern, large or small, could compile a schedule
of costs except upon such items represented in their own product. Further-
niore, as you have well said, prices in markets and costs are constantly
changing, and this is the strongest possible argument in favor of the
work carried on by the Hureau because as those changes take place the
cost schedules are revised at the central olhce. anil the mi'inbers are pro-
viili»d with such schedules at a cost of approximately six cents each, while
til uiidertake to revise them at the plant of each individual company would
be Impossible and represent ii tremendous outlay if undertaken. A revision
of these schedules, keeping tlieni up to date, would necessitate the employ-
ment of one or two highly technical high-iiriced men in each plant, and
would represent a waste and expense that vvoulil necessarily have to be
borne by the public.
The necessity of some organizatinn of this kind will lie aiijireciated
when I call your attentliiii to the fact that the product of no two days
of a planing mill is the same. That is to say, that practically every day
the estimator for the planing mill is called u|ion to quote prices upon some
new article so far as his operations are concerned. We have thousands
of architects constantly devising something new, and in the absence of
some guide as to the cost, the estimator can do nothing more than venture
a guess, which might be too high or too low. So that it is the purpose of
the Bureau in coinpiling lists upon the various articles made by an.v and
all members, to place in the hands of the estimator the information that
I'naliles him to establish a price based upon the experience of some mill
iir mills wliere the article has lieiui made.
Experience of All Is Used
It is the custom of the Hureau to call its entire membership to supply
Information showing the number of hours consumed, and the material
used, and the overhead applied in determining tlie cost of the various
products of their mills: and as stated, the lists are established from the
average as reflected from any mill or mills where the article may have
been priuUieed. The result is tliat any indiviiiual mill or estimator, by
liaving constantly on file the schedules or lists as supplied by tlie Bureau,
has at hand the actual results as to costs in the factories where such
articles have been made, thereby enabling him to intelligently base an esti-
mate on the past experience, at the same time taking into account any
condition favorable or otherwise within his own plant that might have a
bearing on the prii'c he could make.
In order to make myself plain, will state that up to this time the
Bureau has made no attempt to ascertain as to prices being made by any
member ; nor has it in any way, shape, or form, reported to its members as
to the prices being quoted in a general way. or upon special bills by its
members.
You suggest thai the issue of a list miglil be subject to question for
the reason that some member might use such list and disregard his own
costs. Any member that would use the list as published by the Bureau
without apiilying a discount would lie all the way from fifty to seventy-
five i>er cent above prices made by his competitors. And, as stated, in
applying his discount there is no suggestion from the Bureau ; and further-
more. If there were, competition would prompt him to apply a discount
somewhat lower than that which be had i-easmi to Iliiiik would be quiited
by his competitors.
.\gain I respectfully urge that even if the Court should decide that the
publication of average lists is Illegal, it would not apply in the case of
the Bureau lists, for the reason as fully set forth, the lists as pulilished by
the Bureau are based \i|ion lumlier costs at a given market, witli average
cost of labor of members reporting: so that the lists are neither average
costs as to materials nor as to labor.
You suggest tiiat the publication of siicli lists would have the effect of
depriving the elTicient of any advantage. Inasmuch as each individual
member establishes his own cost and his own selling price. I am unable to
ascertain wherein it would dejirive the efficient of any advantagi' he might
liave.
\'ou say tliat standard costs (which does not apply to tlie lists issued by
the lUireaul disregard facts, and that costs vary continually, not only
with individual mills but with the whole industry.
This is true, and, as stateil. this information is provided liy the Bureau
to its members promptly at a siuall fraction of what would be the cost
if uiulertaken iiHtividually.
There Is much talk in these days about economy and efficiency. The
entire work of the Bureau Is to that end. As I understand your criticism
Is predicated on the theory that the Court's decision would be against the
issuance of a list showing average costs. However, in my subsequent
Interview with you, you expressed the opinion that the Court would not
rule against sucli list; and, as stated, I cannot conceive of any court pro-
hililting the assembling and dissemination of such information.
But In any event, inasmuch as the lists as Issued by the Bureau do not
reflect the average cost of materials, an adverse decision as to average
costs could not be construed as a criticism of our methods.
Further Uniform Cost Facts
This interest ins corrcs|ioniUiicc .'ittracteil the attention of E. W.
McCullough, Manager of the Fabricated Production Department
of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Mr. McCfil-
lougli agreed with the Trade Commissioner "that cost accounting
which leads to tlio adoption of 'averages' or 'standards' to be usejl
by the members of an industry is not only wrong but defeats the
real purpose of cost research, which is to develop facts." But he
desired to be further enlightened as to Mr. Gaskill's "attitude to-
ward 'uniform cost accounting,' and its use by members of trade
associations." He explained that "we refer to a standard plan
or nietliod which m.ay be developed and used by the producers of a
certain line whereby they figure their costs by the same rules,
including in them the same elements, and differing only in results
because of the variance in size of plants, equipment and local condi-
tions— uniform as to fundamentals.
"Is there, in your opinion," he asked in a letter to the Commis-
sioner, "any reason why such a system may not be developed and
used lawfully in an industry? Again, if conversion costs only be
dealt with, is there any legal bar to the collective study of costs by
the members of an industry using such uniform cost system?"
These questions resulted in a letter from Mr. Gaskill in which
he reiterated and further developed the opinion which he had
given Mr. Moss. This letter is of distinctive value to all trade
associations as it, together with a further exchange of letters be-
tween Commissioner Gaskill and Mr. McCullough, makes quite
clear the present attitude of the Trade Commission on cost account -
iug standardization. Accordingly the important paragraphs of this
letter and other correspondence will be quoted:
FIRST LETTER. MR. GA,SKILL TO MR. McCULLOCiUI : There has
been much misunderstanding and unfortunately not a little misrepre.senta-
tion of the attitude of this Commission on the suliject of uniform methods
of cost accounting. In fact, it seems to be difficult to secure even for the
most i-arefuily worded statement a proper appreciation of the Commis-
sion's position, yet it is really very simple, namely, that it is strongly
in favor of such work provided it is done scientifically and accurately and
is not used for ulterior purposes in violation of the law.
No governmental agency In this country except possibly the Treasury
Department has had so much occasion to observe the existing defects in
cost accounting methods, but the Commission is glad to record its opinion
that there has been on the whole a considerable improvement in recent
years. The work of this Commission would be greatly facilitated by further
improvement in cost accounting methods and also in fact by a greater uni-
formity in methods provided proper methods are chosen as the models.
There has been a good deal of indifference and ignorance shown by indi-
vidual companies regarding the methods of ascertaining costs. Accurate
cost finding in some eases, however, appears to involve an expense that
some business men regard as greater than the benefits, while in some
industries the technical or theoretical difficulties in getting accurate costs
are no doubt very great.
-\s long as the principles of cost accounting are sound and the methods
used are adapted to secure accuracy of individual results, and provided
that the results are not used directly or indirectly for ulterior purposes
of an illegal character, the Federal Trade Commission is in favor of the
study and development of uniform cost accounting by trade associations, or
otherwise.
There is evidently nothing illegal in such a practice, but it is always
well to remember that though innocent in itself, it has sometimes been
perverted to serve the ends of collusive price control, and. when it is so
usiil. no matter whether directly or indirectly, then restraint of trade is
involved.
Witli respect to uniform methods of determining conversion costs the
same principles and conclusions would also apply.
SKCOXn LETTER, MR. McCULLOUGO TO MR. GASKILL: In ac-
knowledging your favor of the 25th ultimo I am much gratified to note

the layers or courses. The stickers should be of seasoned heart-
wood, free from decay, and of uniform thickness, and should be
placed flush with the ends of the boards, about 2% feet apart for
lumber up to and including 2-inch stock, and 3 feet apart for thicker
lumber. The stickers should be about 1 inch thick for 1-ineh
stock, 1% to 2 inches for 2-inch stock, and 2 to 3 inches for
thicker stock.
The piles should not be less than 2 feet and preferably 5 feet
apart. They should have a forward pitch of about fj of an inch
per course. Piles of high-grade lumber should have the ends jiro-
tected from the sun 's rays liy paint, upright sun shields of lumber,
etc. The height of the piles depends upon such factors as the thick-
ness of the material, method of piling, yard space, and width of
pile. In hand piling the length of the lumber largely governs the
height, somewhat as follows:
4/4 inch thick 12 feet long — 70 to 7-> courses high.
4/4 inch thick 14 feet long— 75 to 80 courses high.
4/4 inch thick 16 feet long — 80 to 8.5 courses high.
5/4 inch thick 12 feet long — 60 to 65 courses high.
5/4 inch thick 14 feet long — 65 to 70 courses high.
5/4 inch thick 16 feet long — 70 to 75 courses high.

(i/4 inch thick 12 feet long — 50 to 55 courses high.
6/4 inch thick 14 feet long — 55 to 60 courses high.
6/4 inch thick 16 feet long — 60 to 65 courses high.
8/4. inch thick 12 feet long — 40 to 45 courses high.
8/4 inch thick 14 & l(i feet long — 45 to 50 courses high.
The lumber should slope about one inch to the foot and should
have a covering raised up several inches above the lumber and
protruding several inches beyoml each end of the pile.
Kiln Drying
In kiln drying the lumber should be carefully piled, using stick-
ers as in air seasoning. The original and final moisture content of
the material and the size of the pieces largely determine the length
of the seasoning period and the temperature and humidity condi-
tions to which the material should be subjected.
A number of kiln-drying schedules have been workeil out at the
Forest Products Laboratory, suitable for oak used in the manu-
facture of furniture and similar products, where the maximum
strength of the wood is of secondary consideration. Oak for uses
having less exacting requirements than use for furniture can prob-
ably be dried a little more rapidly than indicated in the schedule
according to which it would be dried for furniture. The schedules
should be suitable for any kiln in which the circulation is positive,
ample, and uniform in all parts of the kiln and in which the humid-
ity and temperature can be correctly measured and accurately con-
trolled. The conditions specified in the schedule api)ly to the
warmest point in the kiln, and thermometers and moisture samples
should be so placed that the drying conditions and rate of drying
at that point may be known at all times. The wet-bulb and dew-
point temperatures are given in columns 4 and 5, for the corre-
sponding humidities given in column 2, at the temperature specified
in column 3. The wet-bulb temperature is used in determining the
humidity in the kiln with a hygrometer, and is slightly higher than
the dew-point temperature, which is used in determining the huinid-

thnt it appears to me as supporting the effort we are making with Trade
Associations to bring about scientitic and accurate cost by members of
such associations.
In one paragraph, '.unvovcr, you raise the question of the motives for the
estal)llshnieiit of such a system, while in another you don't. To be .spe-
cific, in iiaragraph three you say the Commission is strongly favoralile.
provlileil it is done si-ii'ntifically and accurately and "is not used for
ulterior motives in violation of law," while in paragraph six you say. "as
long as the principles of Cost Accounting are sound, etc., and provided the
results are not used directly or indirectly for ulterior purposes."
These are not contradictory, if I understand what you meant. My
interpretation is that for a Trade Association to proceed to set up and
secure the use by its members of a scientitic and accurate plan of cost
accounting is not only legal and highly beneficial in your view, but the
use of this legal and highly beneficial information by the members of the
Trade Association or by the Association itself for purposes of price-fixing
is con<lemue<l by the Commission.
THIKU LETTER. MK. CASKILL TO MK. McCULLOUOII : The sen-
tences which you quote from our letter of the twenty-Hfth do not seem
to us to be contradictory.
Stated in .another way. the voiiccpiion of the Commission is that the
efforts of a trade association to educate the individual meniber in the
application of sound principles of cost accounting in his individual busi-
ness, are proper. But that any subsequent effort of the association to
reduce the Individual costs to an average or uniform cost basis and to
procure the use of the group, is improper. The individual must fix his own
cost and his own margin. The group may not attempt to substitute a
group average or standard either of cost or margin for the iuilividuars
figures without being in peril of becoming an unlawful combiuation.
•Applying this statement to your interpretation of our letter of the
twenty-fifth, it may be said that for a trade association to set up and
induce the use by its members of a scientific and accurate plan of cost
accounting is not only legal but highly beneficial to the individual mem-
bers of the association. The use of this legal and highly beneficial informa-
tion by each individual in establishing his own production cost and deter-
mining bis own margin, is entirely proper. If thereafter the association
at^-'nipts to induce its members to disregard their own varying figures
and use a common average or uniform figure of cost or margin or both, it
has departed from its proper position of instructor and may easily take on
the appearance of a price fixing combination in restraint of trade or in
suppression of competition.
IIow far the association can lawfully go in acting as the merlium of
exchange of cost data among its members can only be determined after
the decision by the United States Supreme Court in pending action against
the American Column and Lumber Company et al, in which this question is
invidved.
In such an expression as this, nothing is "condemned" by the Comnns-
sion. The Commission remlers judgment only after the trial of an issue
of fact upon a complaint, after hearing. Such letters as this are advisory
only, suggestions and nothing more, written in the hope that they may be
helpful.

Tlii.s letter was sent out at the opening of the July Furniture
markets. One of them fell into the hands of A. C. Brown, secre-
tary of the National Alliance of Case Goods Manufacturer.s, and
after consultation with members of his association, he made a lirief
reply to Mr. Scoggin, as follows;
I have before me (dippings from several papers and Inasmuch as they
all read alike and .vour name is signed to one of them, I assume that .vou
are authority for all the letters.
I also assume from .vour statements that there is a bill before fongress
requiring furniture manufacturers to place their nan[es on their furniture,
also to stale the kinds of wood used in its manufacture. I have heard no
objection to this, and I hardly think that furniture nianufftcturers gen-
erally would object, although I am not writing with authority.
I would like to say that the reading of your letter wouhl indicate that
you knew very little, if anything about furniture. Otherwise your state-
ments could hardly be excus("d. 1 should like very much to have you
give me the name of a wood cheaper than common pine that could l>e used
In making furniture, and whether you think SO per cent of our people would
be in a position to pay the price of solid mahogany, solid walnut, etc.
I am not criticising your letter, but I should like very much to hear
from you giving me the reas(uis for this bill, where it now is, wdio introduced
it, etc. 1 am not at all sure but that furniture manufacturers might be
in favor of this bill if a safe and sane proposition.
Mr. Scoggin apparently did not relish the insinuation that he
didn't know mueh about furniture and on July .5 made a somewhat
lengthy reply as follows:
Your letter of ,Tuly 1 is before me and 1 think ymi will Hud that the
letter which you mention does not state that any bill is befow Congress
re(iu'iring furniture manufacturers putting their names on their furniture.
In your third paragraph you compliment nic on the knowledge I have
or haven't of the manufacture of furniture. I will admit, Mr. lirown,
I do not know but very little about the manufacture of furniture, but it
nia.v be surprising to you to learn that I have in my possession letters
from our very best manufacturers of furnitiu-e indicating that what I
say in my letter Is the "gospel truth" and I have not the slightest doubt
but that these same manufacturers are memlters of yoiu- good asscjciation
and in the very highest standing, th(nigh 1 nuist admit 1 have not a list
of your members.
Now, Mr. Brown, I think that you will tind on investigation that manu-
facturers are using sap gum (.$35 per M delivered i and making tables,
desks, case goods, etc., and possibly putting thin layers of real mahogany
or real walnut on top and the,v are putting these goods out as mahogany
and walnut, and you know, and we all know, and I'ncle Sam will verify
the fact that this is not playing fair with the public or with the dealer
and the practice is going to be stopped. I haven't the slightest doubt, and
possibly stopjjed a whole lot sooner than some people realize.
Take for instance the Philippines, Y'ou know there is no genuine
mahogany that comes out of the Philippine Islands. There Is a very good
substitute, the U. S. (Jovernment says, for mahogany coming from the
Philippines. There is one manufacturer I have In mind who Is putting
out S(did nuihogany furniture and he Is making it out of the IMiilipplne
substitute and he Is calling it genuine solid mahogany and is shipping it
Interstate, and trouble nu(y overtake him before he realizes it, as the
government has requested infcu-nuuion along these lines and the govern-
ment is liable to get that iuforniatlou.
Don't think for a minute that I am arguing anything against sap gum.
If a mauufacturer wants to manufacture gum furniture, all right. If he
wants to manufacture birch furniture and sell it as such, all right, but
when a manufacturer nmnnl'actures gum or lurch furniture and sells it as
walnut or mahogany, he is not. in my opinion, playing fair and If I was
the secretary of an ass(ici:(tion like your good self, I certainly wouhl send
out the hurry-up call to your meml)ers to be sure that it is distinctly
stated In all Iit(n'ature scut "Ut, all invoices mailed, that it is Imitation
furniture with such and such a ven • on the fnuil or the top and where
both walnut or mahogany is used in connection with gum (W birch, let them
state that It is combinatinn furnitiu'e of walnut and gum or nnihoganj'
and gum and if they arc dning this, Mr. lirown, they will have nothing
to worry about, but if they are not, then we will have to see how they are
going to come out,
i have the situation possildy a whole lot better in hand than you mav
imagine in spite of the cunipliment you give me about my knowkMtge of
furniture. One thing let me l(dl you about my knowb'dge of furni-
ture. No nnmufacturer or dealer can unload on me gum or tdrch
furniture as walnut or nuihogauy unless 1 want him to because I know
walnut when I see it and I know mahogany when I see It even If I have
to take my knife out and cut off the black or brown Hnlsh to see the grain
of the wood.
The campaign of letters tlien proeoeded in the following order,
the letters now being signed by li. S, TIawke:
FirEt Letter to Dealers
I have been retained to secure evidence and to bring criminal actions
against retailers of furniture In the I'nited States who .sell furniture made
of gum or birch under the unlruc stateroenl of fact ilnd the same Is walnut
or mahogany.
With the assurance that your communication will be treated as strictly
contidential, will y(ui kindly at once give me the nann* (»f any retailer in
your section whom yioi liavr rcasnn In bclli>ii> Is uullly i>r Ibis practice.
Second Letter to Bealers
.\galn addressing you on the subject of fraudulent represeutatbuis In the
sale of birch and gum furniture as walnut and mahogany my investigators
are now instructed to follow Ihis rule in securing evidence:
If called mahogany or walnut, the p<jsts, the division rails, the standards,
mirror frames and stretchers must be mad<r of genuine solid mahogany or
walnut lumber. The remainder of the piece, such as table tops. bufTet
tops, dresser inps. chifTonier tops, ami drawer I'nds, can be maile of built-
up pidiel stiM-k with genuine mahogany or walnut veneer (Ul the outside.
If called SOI. II) mahogany or SOIjIO walnut, no veneer can be used,
and this means that geinune sulld mahogany or walnut shall be used In
making the mirror frames, standards, posts, drawer fr(mts, slab tops,
and panel ends.
If gum or birch furniture is referred to as mahogany or walnut, even
if the word "linlsh" Is usimI, evidence of this class of deception will also
be secured. If the word "imitation" Is used there can he no cause for
action.
Would you be willing to give assistance in a strictly confldeutial way
to our investigators in the event they rr'(|(]irc it when working in .vour
section ?
Leister to Manufacturers
X surprisingly large n(unber of retail furniture dealers have written to
me In the last ten days, suggesting that in c(mnection with our investiga-
tions of the fraudulent sales of gum or birch furniture as mahogany (»r
walnut, we should also proceed against tlie manufacturers who are guilty
of the same olfense, and the retailers have promised to assist us In
getting the necessary evidence.
In strict contldeuce, will you kimlly send me the names of manufacturers
who might warrant investigation.
In additkpn to the requests (d' the retailers, the I.. S. Federal Trade
Commission luis asked for this evidence, which we will gladly furnish to
It. as well as using the same evirlence as a basis of our ciuitemplateil
actions.
Third Letter to Dealers
.-\gain addressing you nn the subject of framlulent mlsrepresentathtn
of birch and gum furniture as mahogany or walnut, I want to submit the
following to you :
When you refer to a buililing with nuihogany uv walnut "Ilnlsh" you
refer absolutely to the solid wimd in wdiich It is tinlshed. When you speak
of a manufj(cturer of "interior tliiish or a manufacturer of 'tlnlsh'." you
certainly do not mean a varnish or a stain manufacturer. You refer
to a woodworking plant manufacturing doors, baseboards, etc.
Now, how can any honest person stretch his imagination so far as to
say he has no Intention to deceive, when he refers to nuihogany "finish"
or walnut "linlsh" In furniture and (daiiiis to nu'an Just the reverse'^ In
luie case, the real artl(de In the (dher case — abs(dutely an indtatlon.
In spite of tills you cannot pick up a m^wspaper an.vwherc* that does
not refer to furniture that has not one iin-li of real mahogany or walnut
in it, and still it is called a dresser, mahogany tlnlsh. or a bi-d, walnut
finish. And yet thi dealer maintains hi' Is not trying to deceive the
liublic — that the public Is widl posted so that the buyers know that they
mean "imitation" mahogany and "imitation" walnut and It Isn't necessary
even to inentum It : that the public is also as well informed that they
further know that it is made of birch or gum. and therefore It Is not neces-
sary to mention that fact. Before the days of profiteering imitation ma-
luigany furniture and Imitation walnut furiiituri* were refei-re<l to as
indtation. Since the days nf proliteering it is calle(l "tlnlsh."
Again, we tlud furniture dealers who claim that when a piece of furniture
has two or three per cent mahogany or walnut on It and the remainder
of some other wood. It is quite In order to refer to this as mahogany or
walnut furniture, when In reality there is only a very thin sheet of veneer
stuck on the top to hide the wood that the piece of furniture Is actually
made of; and we all have had experience with this by having It peel or

Selection of a Motor Track for Logging
Some iuteresting ideas on the seleefion ol' iiiotur trueks i'or lod-
ging are givcu by Frederick Malcolm Knapp, a student in the Col-
lege of Forestry, University of Washington, in a brochure recently
issued on Motor Truck Logging Methods. Mr. Knapp 's very thor-
ough thesis is based on experiences and conditions in the Pacific
Northwest, but the information pertaining to the choice of trucks
should be of value to the Uimbernu'n of any territory.
Mr. Knapp points out that in general two jilans are fcdlowed in
building a motor truck. The first is to build a rigid truck so that
it will resist all shocks and distortions that come from rough and
uneven roads. The second i)lan is to build a flexible body so that
the chassis will "give" rather than resist when subjected to hard
strains. Although the rigiilly built truck may be entirely satis-
factory for most forms of trucking, it is practically impossible to
build one on the rigid principle that will stand up under the heavy
strains to which a logging truck is subjected unless it is to be oper-
ated over good paved roads. When only ordinary unpaved public
roads are avail.able, flexibility is one of the most important chara-
teristics to look for when selecting a truck. Where the operator is
hauling over his own pole or plank road this consideration does not
play so important a i)art, as the roadbed then is more likely to
be free from holes and irregularities.
" .\11 makes of trucks are more or less alike in general construc-
tion, diifering only in minor details, so that the jiersonal whims
of the buyer will largely determine the kind he will select. It is
advantageous to have as long a distance as possible between the
driver's seat and the bunk over the rear axle, in order to allow
more of the load to be carried by th<' truck and less by the trailer,
giving better traction to the drive wheels, Init necessitating extra
strong rear springs .anil axles.
What Power Transmission
''The type of jiowei' transmission best suited to the use of the
logging truck is a question that has received a great deal of atten-
tion. There are three general methods of transmitting the power:
(1) By chain, (2) by worm drive, and (.'i) by internal gear drive.
Each has its advantages. It is claimed by many that the chain
drive saves many hours of 'shut-down time,' due to the fact that
if anything breaks in the transmission it will be a link in the chain,
as this is the weakest point. It is then only a matter of a few
minutes to insert another link. With the worm drive vehicle, a
bre.-ik in the transmission requires an expensive shut-down before
the matter can be repaired. The worm drive, on the other hand,
very seldom breaks if proper care is used.
"The ch.-iiti drive also allows the replacement of the sprocket
with one of a larger or smaller diameter, thereby giving a higher
or lower ge.-ir ratio, which cannot be done with the worm gear.
This seems to be of some advantage to an operator when changing
his setting from one with a short haul and steep grades where a
low^ gear ratio is re(|\iired, to one where the haul is long and fairly
level, and where speed in transit is an advantage.
"On the other hand, in starting on slippery grades or wherever
the traction is poor, the worm drive will give better traction than
a chain drive, because there is difficulty in taking up the slack that
is always present in the chain before letting in the clutch fully.
The slightest jerk giviMi to the wheels when the slack is taken up
is likely to cause them to spin, thereby losing all the tractive power
of the drive wheels. In the worm gear there is no slack to take
up and the power can be applied more gradually, thus reducing
the chances of spinning the wheels and losing the traction. The
question of the weight of the truck \ised for logging iiurposes is
not as important now as it will be in the future. Laws are being
passed in nearly every state limiting the maximum weight to be
carried on each wheel by trueks using state or country roads, so
that the total weight of the truck without load will be important.
When operating over state or county roads the load is limited to
from 2,400 to 3,000 feet, B. M., of Douglas fir, deiiending upon the
locality. In such cases, it is an advantage to have a lighter truck,
say one of .3'/l> tons capacity. By adding additional leaves to the
rear springs *of a truck of this capacity it may be made to carry a
larger loail than it would be possible to put on a 5-ton truck and
still comply with the law. The pulling power of the 3%-ton truck
and the .'5-tiin truck is practically the same, so that the difference in
dead weight between the two may be carried in a profitable manner
by adding four or five hundred feet B. M. of logs. Another ad-
vantage of the lighter weight truck is speed. The 3^i-ton truck
is geared to make from 14 to 16 miles an hour, while the 5-ton
truck is usually limited to from 10 to 12 miles an hour.
"Whenever the legal weight limit does not enter into the [irob-
leni, as in operating over a pole or plank road for the entire dis-
tance, it is, of course, advantageous to carry the largest loads pos-
sible. In such cases a 5-ton truck with an 8%-ton trailer is the
most profitable investment. This allows a much larger load to be
carried in proportion to the overhead charges. The disadvantage
of the 5-ton truck is that it is very heavy, and unless the roads are
good it w'ill easily sink into the ground and cause trouble. A com-
mon fault of the 5-ton truck today is the overweight of the front
end, which is too heavy for the width of tire on the front wheels.
This can be very easily overcome by the use of wider tires.
lafe and Depreciation
"The life of a truck is directly pro]iortiiiual to the care that it
receives, hence, a good driver is a most important consideration.
If the right man can be secured his wages should be a secoudarj'
consideration.
"The charge to be made for the depreciation of a truck is an
uncertain question. Some loggers figure on the basis of four and a
half years, others on as much as seven years. The depreciation
charge on a truck used in the logging industry should depend
largely upon the type of road over which it is operated. Loggers
in general overrate the life of their equipment because they do not
fully realize the severity of the work. Over a fore and aft plank
road or a cement road, where the jar and vibration are reduced to
a minimum, the wear and tear on the equipment is very much less
than where the truck is operated over a cross-plank road or an
unpaveil jniblic road. The matter of depreciation, then, will de-
pend largely ui)on the type of road over which the truck is to
operate. In general, a four-year depreciation charge, less 25 per
cent sale value at the end of that time should be used as a basis
for figuring costs unless the hauling conditions are very favorable.
Only under very rare circumstances should more than four years
be allowed. It should be remembered that the depreciation on a
truck is very heavy during the first year, and the sale value at the
end of the year is only half of the original price. Many truck
operators now hauling over good roads who are depreciating on the
basis of five years say that a four-year depreciation would be more
nearly correct. Another factor in favor of a four-year deprecia-
tion charge is that methods of logging arc changing constantly
and that trucks in that time may be improved upon to such an ex- _
tent that the use of the old equijuuent would be unprofitable and
iueflicient."

Slightly more than a month ago HAiaiwuuu Ki;tuiiLi sent a quos-
tionnairc broadcast to hardwood sawmills requesting actual figures
of stock on hand August 1, 192], August 1, 1920, and normally. It
was hoped that a complete record would be returned, sufficiently
comprehensive so as to fairly tabulate the coiiiplote hardwood
stocks available at mill points.
For some reason only a very small percentage of replies was
received, defeating the main purpose of the questionnaire, but
Hakdwood Eecord has nevertheless compiled the figures actually
given on the return sheet of fifty odd mills replying. These mills
are well scattered in thd North and South and are fair average
producers. The returns were made out on the basis of grades as
given in the following tabulation, and in compiling the results it
was a simple matter to add up the totals under e.ich grade of wood
as given by the respective correspondents. The tabulation below
's the result.
It is hard to reconcile these figures with the general evidence
of stock conditions, but the figures are taken directly from the
individual replies and hence necessarily reflect the true stock con-
ditions at these respective mills. They surely indicate many incon-
sistencies and a badly assorted volume of hardwoods. The infor-
mation is published in this issue merely because it may contain
a certain measure cf suggestive value.

Teamwork
A Imsiness iii:in wlio is pMi-t of a sni;ill organization recently
remarked that he could not see a very brilliant future ahead
for his firm, because of the lack of teamwork. Each man,
proprietor and all, practically goes his own gait. Earely are
there conferences or earnest discussions as to what to do
and how to co-operate tii il<i it.
This gentleman e.xpre.sseil the belief that large organiza-
tions are much more likely to be systematic and efficient in
matters of this kind tli:in small businesses whore the people
are in close contact. fSuch people take it for granted that
conferences to consider ;i, given subject, are unnecessary.
On the other hand, the small organization has great need of
the correct methods of procedure if it is ever to get out of
the "small class" and into the grownup group.
How about it? Is your organization as closely knit as it
ought to be? Is there cohesion in its policy and teamwork
in its action? Along this ])athway lies success. This is as
true where there are two men in the organization as where
there are twenty or two hundred. In the period through
which we are now passing the demand for such cohesion, such
teamwork, and such united effort, is very urgent. Think
about it!

of the responsibility for the three winning ' ' dry ' ' tights at the
elections in Ohio. His prohibition efforts were continued through
the past year and he is reported to have done more than any other
man to make Cincinnati bone dry. Suffrage has also been blessed
by his efforts and the winning of one of his cases opened the way
for the winning of Tennessee, the tliirty-sixth and decisive state,

Furniture manufacturers are waiting with interest and just a
bit of uneasiness the results of the trips of their salesmen who took
to the road Sept. 1. The promise which was held out by the plac-
ing of orders in the July market is not being realized just as fully
as might be hoped and furniture manufacturers, observing what is
taking place in other lines of industry are rather wondering if a
second fall Is coming for their industry.
Buying in the July market was most satisfactory and furniture
men were gleeful. The dealers had had a good spring business
and believed the future was bright, so they ordered liberally to
replenish their depleted stocks and to prepare for the holiday
trade. What they had on hand in June and July they hoped to
clean out pretty thoroughly by the way of their August sales.
But the August sales have not generally been quite as successful
as was hoped and expected. True, those dealers who marked their
merchandise right down to rock bottom and based on the new
]irices they must pay did a pretty fairly good business. These are
maintaining their pace even now. But, unfortunately, many furni-
ture dealers have been guilty of the same practices and the same
shortsightedness as retailers in many other lines and have not been
content with a small margin of profit. It has been quite customary
for furniture dealers, like retailers in other lines, to still seek the
same margins of profit they took in the heydays immediately fol-
lowing the war. The result to these has been unsuccessful. August
sales and that lack of success is reflected upon the furniture manu-
facturer in a considerable number of cancellations and more hold-
up orders. Neither the cancellations nor the holdups have yet
reached a volume to be at all serious, but the manufacturer, observ-
ing what is happening in other lines, is watching lest this might
be a forerunner of another situation such as developed a year ago.
The one thing tliat is troubling the manufacturer more than
almost anything else is that in order to keep his factory running
and his organization intact while at the same time working off a
lot of his high priced raw material, he did run his factory all during
the lean spring months making stock. The result was that when
the Julv market came on, the manufacturers' warehouses were
quite largely filled pretty full of ready made furniture. The price
on this had been marked down to a minimum — in some instances at
cost or even a shade below.
The buyers came and they ordered liberally, but they ordered
from the new designs and passed by the stock. The result was that
when the market closed, manufacturers still had on hand a tre-
mendous lot of stock and they still have more than they wish they
had and must get rid of it in some way. The orders placed were
chiefly for designs just brought out and, therefore, for furniture yet
to be made. It is highly unsatisfactory to have a warehouse filled
with perfectly good furniture, but the factory running full time to
make other furniture while that in the warehouse refuses to move.
It is predicted by some of the most successful manufacturers that
this great quantity of stock must be disposed of at whatever sacri-
fice may bo necessary and this, it is feared, may bring about still
another demoralization of the furniture market.

Till.' National LuiiilxT Manufacturers AssuciatiuM at tliu (liruct
request of the Department of Commerce is cooperating with tlic
Bureau of the Census in an endeavor to gather monthly informa-
tion on production, orders, shipments, stocks and prices of lumber
commodities. The work has progressed so satisfactorily that the
National will seek the aid of the regional associations, as well as
individual members, in furnishing more complete data.
In the monthly "Survey of Current Business" recently ]uil)lished
by the Department of Commerce a beginning was made in the
publication of lumber statistics on production and shipment. It is
expected to supplement this data with more comprehensive sta-
tistics from members of the regional associations for identical mills.
In gathering information on lumber prices the Bureau has
selected a group of ten reasonably representative items on which
monthly figures will be based. The Bureau does not expect that
the descrijition of items and grades will exactly correspond with
the names, sizes and methods of manufacture of each regional as-
sociation and asks therefore that each association report such
changes as its particular grading rules may require.
To make these statistics representative the Bureau desires to
secure this information from a substantial group of mills. It is
intended that the list shall include representative mills operating
under conditions generally characteristic of the region mills, which
are able and willing to furnish promptly each month to the Bureau
their prices on specific items for a given day, or a given week of
each mouth. Individual information is safeguarded in that it is
not available to anyone other than the sworn employees of the
Bureau. Only compiled data will be made public.
On the compilation of these data the National, with cooperation
of the regional associations, expects to have the very latest and
most up-to-date lumber statistics available. Prompt cooperation
will by advantageous not only to the Department of Commerce
but also to the industry.

Edgar P. Allen, Publicity Director of the National Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association, has recently returned to Washington after
an extended trip of several weeks in the South and far West, where
he made an extensive survey of existing conditions in the lumber
industry and became more thoroughly acquainted with the indus-
try's leaders. In speaking of his trip Mr. Allen said:
.\fter a rapid and necessaril.v .-Jomewhat superficial survey of the lumber
industry of the United States, I have returned to Washington wltli one
trenieudnusly impressive thuuglit that I would like to convey to every
newspaper writer in the nation. This survey was not complete in the
sense that it went exhanstively into all the prohlems and differentiated
vexations of the lumber mauufacturinff Imsiness, nor was I ahle in the
time at my ilisposai to so into some important areas of operation that I
hope to visit at a not too iltstant date. But with the eye and the mind
of a newspaper writer I have traveled thousands of miles and have cov-
ered the assignment in a way that convinces me I have a fairly clear
vision of the lumber industry as it is and should be understood by the
people of America. And the outstanding impression that is almost
oppressive in its effects upon my mind is that this industry is so vast, so
immensuralily useful to the public and so potentially great in its service
to itself and the nation, that upon a sure and speedy resumption of its
prosperity deiiends the welfare of all the people of our common country.
In my study of lumber I have gone into offices and ndlls and talked
with hundreds of men identified with lumber service to the public. More
than that — infinitely more than that — at every opportunity and in every

Finally I have gone deep Into the white and sugar pine forests, which
seem all but inaccessible to the logging railroads and woods crews. And,
as a fitting conclusion to this tour, the redwoods call me to their mystic
shadows where I would have lingered days in adoration of their grandeur
had I not been forced to break the spell they wove around me.

A new wood waste bureau, for industrial investigation, has been
added to the Forest Products Laboratory and, according to the
Forest Service, it will meet a real need. The work will embrace
the following lines:
A survey of the primary ;uid secondary wood-using industries to
determine the possibility of more complete utilization of by-prod-
ucts, low-grade materials, and wood waste; dimension stock study,
including the standardization of small dimension stock require-
ments and determination of the most economical methods of con-
verting the standing tree into the form of material required in
secondary wood-using industries; standardization of nomenclature,
sizes, grades and specifications for lumber and cross-ties; wood
waste exchange to effect the utilization of raw materials now dis-
posed of as waste, by supplying a medium through which pro-
ducers can locate markets for woods, mill and factory by-products
and waste, and wood-consuming plants can locate material of this
character such as will meet their requirement; general work, in-
cluding the broad field of encouraging the wider use in the wood-
using industry of the results of technical research available at the
laboratory.
The proposed personnel of the new section, partly recruited from
other laboratory sections, will consist of ten technical foresters,
one engineer, and four non-technical employes.

Axel H. Oxholm, recently appointed chief of the Commerce De-
partment's new Lumber Division, has left Washington to confer
with lumbermen in various Northwestern states. He will visit
Buffalo, Boston, Portland and Bangor, Maine, and Williamsport,
Pa.
During the trip he will confer with lumber associations, business
houses and individuals interested in selling American lumber in
foreign countries, with a view to improving and sjieeding up serv-
ice in the Department in assisting the sale of lumber abroad.
During the middle part of September Mr. Oxholm plans to visit
the Middle West and the Pacific Coast. It is planned that he will
cover South Atlantic and Southern States some time after October
20.
Then, again, manufacturers are watching the warnings the finan-
cial observers are sending out to the effect that the retailers, by
refusing to cut prices of all sorts of commodities in proportion as
the wholesalers', producers' and manufacturers' prices have been
cut are inviting another buyers' strike which will be aimed directly
at them. Furniture manufacturers know full well that furniture
retailer* are guilty of holding up prices along with retailers in other
lines and when they read that there arc indications of another
buyers' strike, they find but small solace in the thought that if that
strike comes it will be due to the retailers' practices rather than
to the manufacturers. The effects will all be reflected back upon
the manufacturer anyway so what does it matter who is to blame?

However, this is not intended to give the idea that furniture
muiiut'acturers are pessimistic over the outlook. It means merely
that they are watching the situation just as carefully as they
watched it a year ago and perhaps even more so. It means that
they are waiting the results which their salesmen may be able to
obtain on the road and meantime they are keeping right along
lilri;illy sawing wood and then putting it together again in the
tdriii of good furniture.
Salesmen as they were leaving for their road trips were all
optimism. More than one of them predicted he would turn in tlie
biggest business he ever wrote in a single trip. They figure that
the unusually hot summer has driven business away from the cities
and that with the coming of fall and cooler weather business gen-
erally will show a marked improvement, wliicli will be reflected in
the furniture business as well as in other lines.

wholesaler for one carload, or 15 to, 20 M ft. 4i^x5y» — 16 ft. merchant-
able 1905 longleaf yellow pine rough in response to latter's quotation
(hereon, which stated that prompt shipment could be made. Seller mailed
buyer formal ucknowledyment of the order on June 16, in which he stated
he would ship promptly. On same date, June 16, buyer wrote seller In
reference to the orders as follows :
"I'lease hold up cutting on this order. We have wonl fmm our cus-
tomer this morning that, on account of heavy falling off of their orders,
they may hav*^ more than a sntHcient supply <m hand and will let us knt)\v
in a few weeks, and at which time we will advise you either to cancel the
order or proceed with its execution."
This letter was received by seller on June IS, who made no reply to
same, but on June 23 mailed order to his mill connections with instructions
to cut and ship same as quickly as possible.
On July 23 seller wrote buyer as follows: "Referring to your order
No. 623, our No. S54, please advise if it will now be satisfactory to ship
this stock out." On same date seller wrote mill to hold up cutting.
Huyer replied to above on July 26, stating that the situation still
remained the same as it was on June 16, but that he would try and per-
suade his customers to permit shipments of one nujre car "so we can use
the car placed with you." lie also again cautioned seller not to cut any
of the stock until buyer advisoil he could use it.
Seller replied stating he had placed order with his mill ; that he could not
therefore hold up shipment indefinitely and insisted That immediate ship-
ping directions be given on same.
Upon receipt of the latter on July 31 buyer wrote seller to cancel the
order, as his customer had wired that he could not use the stock.
Meauw^hile seller's mill advised him on July 31 that he had cut about
6,000 feet on the order before receiving instructions to hold up on same.
Considerable correspondence then followed in which seller made an
unsuccessful effort to secure an adjustment of the matter with buyer.
During this correspondence seller only demanded that buyer pay him for
the stock out at price seller had agreed to pay the mill, thr s«-Ib'r waiving
his profit in the transaction.
During this time the mill was insisting on some action, eilhcr by per-
ndtting him to ship or paying him for stock <'ut.
The Dispute
The buyer contended : First, that having notified seller not to proceed
with the order, before the latter had done anything towards its execu-
tion, no actual damage should have resulted from his act. Second, tha't
seller having failed to notify him promptly upon i-eceipt of bis instruc-
tions of June 16 to the effect that same would not be complied with and
seller having written him July 23 for permission to .proceed, led buyer to
believe that his request was being complieil with, and that the seller by
such action did in fact acquiesce in buyer's request to hold up cutting.
with option to caueel.
Seller contende<l that the original contract was the only one ever
entered into, inasmuch as he had refrained from specifically accepting
buyer's subsequent proposal: and that he was under no obligation to even
consider any suggestion from buyer that original contract be held Ih
abeyance or cancelled, but that he did hold up on some for a time as a
voluntary courtesy or accommodation to buyer. He therefore contended
that he should Ije paid in full at contract price for the 5,940 feet which
had been cut, the same to t)c the property of buyer to dispose of as he
might see fit.
One of the most strilsing paragraphs in Mr. jkorman'&^lettel' is given
herewith: ' ' ■ . -. ;
Complainants further say that as a result of- the rate and 'rate itdjust-
ments herein complained of the mills' aiui plants' of complainants wliich
have the long hauls to the great consumijig jiMirkets, arechise^l down and
many of them nailed up : that but little hardwood lumber and forest
products is now being produced in the South ; that*"many of the nulls are
facing ruin and some of the largest are already in the hands of receivers;
tliat hardwood lumber and forest prodqcts are selling at these mills hielow
Ihe cost of production, but, even at these ruinous prici*s. are unable to pay
present exorbitant freight charges and compete with short haul production
and substitutes ; that the delay incident to the usual procedure in handling
formal complaints will be fatal to the complainants and injurious to the
defendants, since, if lumber and forest products are to be available fur
nuirket and transportation during the coming winter and spring, the logs
must lie moved to the mills heforr fall rains set In.
The Decision
Held, that inasnuich as seller had a bonafide legal order for a carload of
lumber from buyer, properly acknowledged, and afterwards received an
order to hold up cutting, seller had a perfect right to either refuse to hold
up cutting, or refuse to cancel the order, or go ahead and cut it ami ship
it out according to the original order received by him ; or, in event that
he had been willing to grant buyer's request of June 16, he had the right
to demand of buyer the profit he would have made had the order been
tilled according to contract.
Seller did not take either one of these alternatives, but five days after
receiving buyer's request to hold up with possibility of cancellation later,
he placed the order with the mill and allowed the mill to cut some special
pieces he knew full well that his customer might not be able to take.
Seller, however, had no legal or moral right to take any action whatsover
that would jeopardize the buyer's interests. It is therefore held :
First, that inasmuch as seller did not refuse to hold up cutting on the
order; neither did he cut and ship out the stock according to the con-
tract: neither did he demand the profit he had in the order; and inas-
much as any loss on the entire transaction was caustMl through the action
of seller alone, all of w*hich could have been very easily avoiiled had he
given buyer the consideration thai is due a buyer from a seller, there would
not have been any loss whatever.
Second, inasmuch as buyer used every reasonable effort to prevent loss
Ity stopping, as he supposed, the cutting of this special material, and inas-
much as seller did not place the order for this special cutting with the mill
for five days after he had received request "not to cut it," the fault lies
entirely with seller and he is not entitled to any redress whatever.
Request of Buyer to Substitute Transit Cars for Mill Shipment.
Decision No. 21— Docket No. 90
THE FACTS: On Oct«.l.er 16. 1020. a whub'sah-r mailetl an inquiry to
a manufacturer for 1x4 No. 2 Common Yellow Pine S2S : on October 16,
the latter quoted a delivered price of $27.50 per M feet. The wholesaler
thereupon wired the manufacturer a counter-offer of .?26.50 for one car.
which the latter promptly accepted by wire, mailing a formal acknowl-
edgment of the order the following day. Xo time of shipment was specified
by either party.
On October 25. the buyer wired the seller to increase the order to two
cars and to rush shipment, quoting seller's order number as shown on
the latter's formal a<*knowledgment. The addition was accepted the same
day and a formal acknowledgment mailed.
It was alleged by the buyer that shortly after this addition was made,
but before invoice was received for either car, he received from the seller
a stock list showing two similar cars as being in transit or about to be
placed in transit. The price quoted in this circular was $25.50, or $1.00
per thousand less than that specified in buyer's order. The buyer stated,
that inasmuch as he was in a hurry for shipments and do definite time
had been given on his mill shipment orders, he immediately mailed selJef
the list referred to, with pencil notation thereon, requesting that these two
cars be applied on his order and at the lower price shown. The seller
alleged he had no reconl or recollection of having received such a request
and" neither rttfirmed nor denied having received the same.
The bills of lading and other evidence submitted shewed that the first
car on the order was placed for loading on October 25. and that loading
was ctmipleted October 27, although the car was not pulled out by the
railroad and bill of lading signed until October 30. The second car was
lihiced October 30 and loading completed November 2 i October 31 was
Sun(hiy). It was pulled out and bill of lading signed on November 3.
The first car was invoiced at $25.50. the price contained in the,cir<'ular
referral to. The^ second car, however, was invoiced at original contract
price, or $26.50. '
THK C(tNTROVERSY : The buyer contended that the tran.«1t ears
should have iieen applied on his order and invoiced at the lower price
of $25.50. on the ground that he had requested this substitution. Although

lumber plump thickness. Cuttings to be full thickness ou common lumber,
taking advantafie of the differential permitted in the rules. We havi'
never made any distinction in the thickness in shippin)^ lumber for kiln
drying. We are not familiar with the shrinkage developing in kiln ilrying
hardwood lumber.
We believe stock should be sawn sufficiently thick so that it would be
full thickness when ten months' air-dried, that is, when sawn green it
should be about 1/16" full, so that it will dry out full thickness after
being dry. We don't really know what the thickness of the stock is after
it comes out of the kiln, but assume that it shrinks anywhere from
1/32" to l/(i4".
We cut our 1", l^i", I'i;" and 2" lumber l/ir>" heavy. It dries out. to
become properly air-dried, a little less than G per cent, and leaves the lum-
ber sufficiently thick to surface to the standard thickness of surfaced
lumber that is: 4/4" to 13/16", 5/4" to 13/32", 6/4" to 111/32",
S/4" to 1 3/4". ,
We imagine that the shrinkage and dry kilning of air-dried stock will
be somewhere between 4 anil 5 per cent, probably nearer 4 than 5 per
cent, but this last statement is made without claiming to be accurately
informed.
From Dry Kiln Companies
Your question can only be answered in a general way, because it is
not specitic enough lo permit an accurate answer. For example, saw-ing
practice varies consitlerably. The variation in the natural shrinkage of
illflferent hardwoods is very great. You do not specify whether the lumber
is quarter-sawed or plain-sawed nor do you specify the time of the year
the lumber is cut. .\11 of these factors affect the shrinkage to a great
extent.
In general, all hardwoods do not l>egin to shrink at all or apprecial)ly
until they have dried below 30 per cent moisture, or until all of the free
water has been dried out. Furthermore, (piarter-sawed lumber shrinks
twice as much in thickness as plain sawe^l. Inuring the best drying ten
months (»f the year 4/4" hardwoods will dry to about 25 per cent moisture,
and the shrinkage will be api>roximately IG'% per cent of the total shrink-
age in thickness. Taking sugar maple as an example, the approximate
shrinkage within ten months' air-drying will be approximately as follows:
I'laln Sawed Quarter Sawed
4/4" 008 inches .015 Inches
5/4" 01 inches .019 inches
6/4" 012 inches .023 inches
8/4" 016 inches .031 inches
With the same nmterial kiln-dried to 5 per cent moisture, shrinkage
would be approximately as follows:
Plain Sawed Quarter Sawed
4/4" 04(Hnche6 .075 Inches
5/4" 05 Inches .095 inches
6/4" 06 Inches .115 inches
8/4" , 08 Inches .155 inches
The above example may serve your purpose, but it is based on the
assumption that the green lumber was sawed to the exact dimension, and
the tigurcs for shrinkage are average for a great number of careful tests
anil might not apply exactly to any particular board.
flartlwood takes in every variety of species, and the writer finds? that
all hardwoods do not shrink alike. Furthermore, you do not state whether

dltference.
It Is well known that wood shrinks twice as much tangentlally as It
does radially. Of course, this all depends on the way your stock la to be
sawed.
Now, for instance, oak to be 1" thick when kiln-dried should be cut to
allow 4.1 per cent for shrlnkiige, when It Is green from the saw, and this
shrinkage in a laillal direction. t>n the other hand, an albiwance of
about 8 per cent should be made In the tangential direction.
Now, to make this more clear : Suppose we had a piece of stock gi'een
from the saw to be kiln-dried to 1". If the piece was of bastard cut, we
would allow 4.1 per cent of 1" for shrinkage. If the piece was 2" on the
same kind of a cut, we would allow again 4.1 per cent of 2". The writer
believes this brings the allowance out better than in the other case.
Now. stock ten months' air-dried, to be dried to 5 per cent molsure con-
tent in kiln, should have an allowance of 3 per cent In the radial iltrec-
tlon and 6.3 per cent in the tangential direction — this being oak.
Now, these shrinkages vary according to the species, but in general
you will find that this will cover pretty much all species.
From Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wis.
'J'hc <picstlon you ask is one which cannot Iw ;inswered in a few words.
So far as we know it is impossible to tie this matter down to definite
figures applicable in all cases. As you undoubtedly know, the Naticmal
Hardwood lumber rules state that the lumber shall be of standard thick-
ness when shipping dry. However, the state of dryness known as "ship-
ping dry" has, so far as I know, never been defined In any definite usable
way. I presume that one would be safe in making the general statement
that hardwoods which have been alr-ilrled ten months are at least ship-
ping rlry and that, therefore, according to the National rules, the thick-
ness should be just about stamhird or a trifle less.
The exact moisture in stock which has been seasoned for any given
period will vary tremendously, of course, with weather changes as well as
with the coTKlition (d' the stock itself and the species, .\ssumiug that the
moisture content of shipping dry stock is 20 per cent and that kiln-dried
stock contains 7 per cent moisture (these assumptions will probably apply
reasonably well to most conditions), the shrinkage from shipping dry to
kiln dry will be approximately one-half of the total shrinkage from green
to oven dry. In other words, it will be about half of the shrinkage which
you will find in table 2 of Bulletin 552. On this basis, taking, for example,
the first species appearing in the list, namely, red alder, quarter sawn
stock of standaril size when shipping dry will be one-half of 7.3 or 3.65
per cent undersize in thickness when kiln-dried, and slash-sawed stock
would be one-half of 4.4 or 2.2 per cent undersize. Individual pieces would,
of course, be expected to vary considerably from this average.
Railroad Tie Production
The normal demand for railroad ties is somewhere, between 100 million
and 125 million annually, says the recent U. S. Forest Service report com-
piled In response to the Capper Resolution in the Senate. In 1918, pur-
chases were slightly under 77,500,000 according to the report, and in 10
months of 1919, were slightly over 84.300,000. During the war and the
period of Government supervision of the railroads, extensions could not be
made and improvements were neces.sarily confined to those of an urgent
character. Lumber purchases were therefore at a minimum. Even under
such a policy of retrenchment railroad purchases of sawed materials, ex-
cluding hewn railroad ties, telephone poles, etc., aggregated approximately
4% billion feet or 14 per cent of the total lumber cut of the country
for 1918.
That there have been profound changes In the lumber distribution from
different regions during the past year, continues the report, is shown by the
invasion of the Middle Western and Eastern States by Douglas fir ties.
These are regions which in the past have heen supplied with the standard
oak tie cut immediately along the rights of way or with southern pine
ties from the South. During 1919 orders amounting to nearly 100,000.000
board feet were placed for Douglas fir ties for eastern roads because of the
uncertainty of securing adequate supplies along their rights of way and
because of the excessive costs of local ties. In other words, oak ties cut
within a few miles of the right of way and bearing practically no charges
In freight and southern pine ties are now being replaced by fir ties hauled
overland across the continent or shipped through the Panama Canal.
The results of this and similar journeys have added to the conviction pf
lumbermen that aircraft was extremely useful In the timber industry.
In the woo<ls of northern Quebec alone this season, 4.000 miles have lieen
explored In flying trips. A complete camping outfit is carried on these
flying boats, including a tent, canoe and a plentiful supply of food.

Pertinent Information
Clubs and Associations
Momentous Building Trades Decision Rendered
The way was virtually cleared fur Chlcagns .•«loo,oiio.O(l(l building
boom by Federal Judge Landis, umpire in the building trailes controversy,
on September 7, when he handed down a decision aiqilying to working con-
ditions and wage awards that will no doubt be national in its effect and
set the pace for the restoration of normal and reasonable conditions in the
building industry everywhere.
The decision was the result of months of stuily and provides for a uni-
form agreement between unions an<l employers, which tdiminates long-sus-
tained abuses that have addeil hugely to the cost and hazard of building,
such as contracts giving monopolies to labor and material interests and the
many rules so fruitful of jurisdictional disputes and graft for union agents.
The wage awards showed a reductiiui of 10 to 30 per cent from the 1020
scale, the hourly wagi' of many skilled trades formerly $1.25 cents an hour
being cut to $1.10 and below .fl. in one instance as low as 70 cents. The
average reduction of the hourly wage of the highly skilled workers was
only 121;. pj,!- (.(jnt, as contrasted with the 20 per cent reduction in average
living costs. But Judge Landis explained that while this does not seem
large, it is only a part of the reduction in the cost of building which his
decision will affect.. The elimination of working agreement abuses will
bring about very substantial reductions in building costs.
It remains now only for the unions involved to accept Judge Landis'
decision. The decision received the hearty applause of the employers
immediately upon its ilelivery. Tlie unions showed a certain amount of
chagrin at the wage reductions and entereil a strong protest, Init at the
time of this writing. Thomas Kearney, president of the Chicago Building
Trades' Council, said that while "we expected him to be more liberal
• • • we selected him and I expect all of us will abide by his
decision."
The only real fiy in the ointment is the fact that the carpenters, pias-
terers, elevator constructors, sheet metal workers, painters, glaziers and
fixture hangers held aloof from arbitration ami are not directly affected
by the decision. It is expected, however, that public opinion will soon
force them into line.
Wisconsin Plant Makes Wood "Waste" Pay
Andrew Kaul & Co., Iin-.. of Merrill. Wis., has recently devised an eco-
nomical methoil of converting waste woods from its large woodenware
plant into profitable products, such as rolling pins, pail and knife handles,
bowling pins and similar commercial goods. The waste wood, formerly
selling at about $t! per cord, now returns a handsome profit. The company
for years manufactured wagon hubs and spokes, and later added a depart-
ment for manufacturing bobliins. spools and similar articles for woolen
and cotton mills, and wooden plugs for paper rolls. Charles Green, gen-
eral superintendent, recently perfected an original design of a machine
which has broad facilities for converting waste wood into useful special-
ties. The machine was built by the Lincoln Iron Works of Merrill and is
capable of turning out 30,000 plugs a day, or the equivalent of other
articles. It is said the Kaul company is the first in Wisconsin to manu-
facture rolling pins. Tenpins are also in wiiler demand, due to the greater
Interest in bowling and the establishment of new alleys. The Kaul product
is made from hard maple, which is said to outlast lignum vitae four times
for this purpose. The Kaul factory is turning out 10,000 bobbins a day
and a large number of pail handles for woodenware concerns all over the
country. Its orders for wagon hubs, spokes and automobile spokes and
The Demurrage Referendum
The question as to whether or not the .\merican Wholesale I^umber
Association should favor the change in demurrage charges as proposed by
the National Industrial Traffic League was recently submitted to its mem-
bers for a referendum vote.
They have now received 53 replies, of which 47 were for and 8 against
the proposed change, whereby the present demurrage rates would be super-
seded by a flat charge of .$3 per day, the same to prevail uniformly both
in times of car surplus and during periods of car shortage.
However, members of the league have voted overwhelmingly against
the change, which is an absolute reversal of opinion as expressed at the
Clevelanil convention in May.
The proposed change therefore will not be considered further by the
It^gue committee at this time. The committee meets in New York on
September 12, 13 and 14, and will then carefully study the various views
expressed by the league members and thereby determine what further
action, if any, should be taken in the immediate future.
Lower Rates War Council Meets
On the call of S. M. Nickey, president, the board of governors of the
Southern Hardwood Traffic Association held a special meeting at Memphis
on September 7 to organize the procedure that will •e followed in the
hearing of the association's plea for lower rates on hardwood lumber, which
begins before the Interstate Commerce Commission in Washington on
Septemlier 29. J. V. Norman of Louisville, general counsel, was present
at the meeting and the statistical and other evidence which the forces
of the assticiation have been industriously assembling for the past few
weeks was carefully gone over.
Nothing has been given out for publication thus far regarding the infor-
mation anil data collected for the reason that the association does not
care to forearm the railroads as to the task to be taken. It is known, how-
ever, that the association is prepared to show that stocks of hardwood
lumber throughout the southern producing field are the largest in the
history of the industry, this being true especially of the lower grade.s
which have acctimuiated, not so much through large prouuction as through
failure to move to market for the reasim that current transportation costs
are prohibitive.
It is not disclosing any secret of the association to say that expense
tiills are on file showing that transportation costs have absorbed prac-
tically the entire proceeds of the sales of low grade lumber.
Aside from the conference in question, perhaps the most significant
development in the rate contest is the announcement that the Southern
Cypress Manufacturers' Association will join hands with the Southern
Hardwood Traffic Association in this fight. The cypress men have the
same comidaint as the hardwood manufacturers, namely, that their mar-
kets have been destroyed through the high freight rates, which have made
it Impossible for them to distribute in the channels of trade heretofore
open to them.

New Demand for Buggies
According to George W. Huston, secretary and treasurer of the Carriage

farmers temporarily ahaniloning their automobiles, in favor of buggies, to
save gasoline. "The farmer, who is receiving less for his products now
than at any time since before the World War," said Mr. Huston, "is using
horses which he has to feed anyway while using gasoline. This doesn't
apply to all farmers of course, but to a goodly number at that." Secretary
Huston is making arrangements for the exhibits wdiich will be held in

one of the reasons why many nuunbers report slow business is that they
are ntd working for business as they did before the war, do not
travel as many men, and do not spend as many hours per day with their
business. There was an Interesting discussion concerning Inspection of
hardwoods.
Buffalo Talks Exports -with Oxholm
A special meeting of the Huffalo Lumber Exchange was held on August
29, when an important conference took place between leading lumbermen
and Axel H. Oxholm, chief of the lumber division of the foreign and
domestic bureau of the l>epartment of Commerce, who told what the
government Is doing and planning to do to promote export trade. lie said :
"We will base our future action on information and advice obtalne<l from
a number of groups such as this, meeting In several lumber centers. We
believe the lumbermen are best qualified to frame the luethoils \<y which
their industry nuiy be expanded, particularly in its export phase. "
Harry L. Abbott, president of the exchange, presided over the meeting.
Concerning the meeting, and the government's policy, Mr. Abbott said:
"We believe this policy, as outlined by Herbert Hoover, will go far
toward the upbuilding of the American lumber industry and the increasing
of export trade. This policy indicates that the present administration
seeks to put business into government."
A committee was appointed, as follows, to confer with Mr. Oxholm :
William A, Perrin, chairman ; R. D, McLean. J. B. Wall, E. B. Lott and
Frank T. Sullivan. A general informal talk resulted and Mr. I'errin
expressed the opinion that the National Hardwood Lumber .\ssociation
might take measures to protect the grailes of American hardwoods in
foreign markets. One suggestion was that the association take space at
the Lyons Exposition, where a demonstration of grades and finish of
woods could be made. It was stated that lumber abroad is largely sold
on brands and that some of these are TOO years old. Japanese onk is
giving American oak a hard run. despite the superior quality of the latter
and the finer finish of which It is capable, and the committee feels that
if American hardwoods can be made better known great benefit will residt
in foreign sales.

c. c;. Mfngpl, .Ir.. vici- iin-si.lc'iit (if Tlir .Mi'iiki'I Co.. Louisville, has se-
■ II red a little publicity in the press wlthiu the past few days, opposing the
l''or(lney Tariff Bill lu eonuectlon with the proposed ten per cent ad
valorem tax on importation of mahogany logs, which he holds will stifle
Aiacrlcan sales In Englancl and Kuro|)c. He further contends that it would
i'esult in increased cost of mah(»gany lumber in this country, and result in
substitution, which would further devastate the American forests, while
the cost of collecting the tax would be greater than the net results to the
<;ovprnment. As the bill Is written Mr. Mengel argues that veneers and
lumber would be produced in foreign countries, and shipped into this coun-
liy in competition with production of American manufacturers.

This was accomplished on September 1 by the elimination of the last of
the restrictions w-hich have been a fruitful source of strife and unrest in
the Chicago building industry for many years.
The restrictions abolished by agreement between officials of the union
and heads of the big building associations are the so-called work permit
and subcontractor practices. A building worker may now move from
Job to Job and secure work on any Job without first having to bring some
union official for a permit. Contractors will no longer be obliged to apply
for ijermits to work union men overtime and non-union men may without
permits work on union Jobs when there is a shortage of labor.
Elimination of the subcontractor practice relieves contractors not mem-
bers of the two big building associations to deal directly with union laborers
without first applying to organization heads or to other contractors.

Classic Exhibits of Veneer as a Fine Art
Publicity Campaign of Veneer and Plywood Makers Will Be Rich in Material with Which to Tell
the Public the True Story of Veneer and Plywood
By If'tfi. Clendenin
The widespread inter-^st in the forthcoming campaign of educa- ed in the rude arts of the Anglo-Saxons, Goths, Vandals or early
tion and trade extension to be launched this fall by the National Britons. Only solid heavy tables and benches made of solid
Veneer & Panel Manufacturers Association and the Plywood Man-
ufacturers AsEOciation seems to be well sustained by the many and
varied classics of veneered furniture brought to light during the
course of the research work upon which the campaign is primarily
based.
In this article are shown reproductions of several of these his-
blocks stand as the representatives of the crude artistry of those
peoples."
Catherine's Chest Outlived Her Head
Roe tells us that veneer and inlay were first introduced into Spain
and England by the Italians in the early I 6th Century. Catherine
of Aragon had a traveling chest with veneered panels inlaid with
toric pieces, for instance, the famous Sheraton Bookcase designed velvet. This chest is still in existence at Kimbolton Castle where
by Sheraton for "The London Times" and now preserved by the
London Times Book Club. It is a veneered and inlaid mahogany
break-front and stands nine feet in height by eleven in length. The
importance of this classic, like the many others assembled for the
P u b 1 ic i t y Com-
mittee of the asso-
ciation lies in the
fact that veneer was
very liberally em-
ployed by Sheraton
as well as by his
predecessors of the
period schools of
England, and the
pictures here re-
produced will be
employed by the
advertising c o m-
mittee to demon-
strate not only to
the trade but to the
public at large that
veneer and veneer-
ing is a fine art
resting for its artis-
tic sanction upon
the best practice of
the masters of fur-
niture craftsman-
ship and fine cab-
inet work, and by
no means a camou-
flage alternative by
irresponsible and
conscienceless pro-
ducers.
In like manner
the famous Shearer
sideboard executed
by that master for
the Bank of England
is similarly here
show^n and will be
for the same pur-
pose employed in il-
lustrating the
veneer campaign.
Indeed, one great
writer on the sub-
ject says that "no
veneers are record-
Veneered "Bureau de Campagne" of Napoleon I
it has remained uncalled for ever since Henry VIII cut of? the
lady's head in the lamentable year of I 535. Henry is gone, and so
is Catherine, but the veneer is still intact.
The mode of ornamentation (inlay and marquetry) which found
its way into our
English and Amer-
ican classics w^as
first introduced by
the Venetians from
India and Persia,
notably in the form
o f small caskets
and moderate-sized
chests — same being
a combination of
the principles of
veneer, marquetry
and inlay — much of
it built up in lam-
inations and then
cut away in relief
work. The com-
mittee has assem-
bled many examples
of this art showing
the antecedents of
modern veneer an-
tedating the French
and English work
b y several c e n-
turies. The Chest
of Cornw^all, date
early 1 5th Century,
is of undoubted Ital-
ian origin, and com-
menting upon this
period a critical
writer says, "By the
veneering principle
alone can the burrs
of mahogany and
the curls of satin-
wood and the like
be shown. The
same is true of the
burrs in amboyna
and walnut. These
twist and fracture
in the solid piece
and are lost. Veneer
alone could have

preserved these classic specimens to a grateful posterity."
The undoubted authority and the unquestionable authenticity
of these ancient relics of veneer work and the opinions of the
masters who created them form a background for the 550,000
advertising campaign which it is believed will at once surprise the
furniture world generally and at the same time disabuse the pub-
lic mind of the still remaining prejudice against veneer.
The **Bureau de Campagne**
Another piece illustrated in this article is the famous writing
cabinet of Napoleon 1, called by his soldiers the "bureau de cam-
pagne." This is a collapsible cabinet which accompanied the
Little Corporal in his victorious campaigns and was used by him
on many of the greatest battlefields of Europe. It has an ex-
tension top with a surface of green marble, the sides, ends and
front together with the panels being finished in mahogany or rose-
^vood veneer. This classic is signed by Biennais, Rue St. Honore,
Paris, but is said to have been designed at Florence, Italy, by
Giovanni Socci. It is preserved at Malmaison, the home of the
Empress Josephine.
The reproduction
here given is from
an old plate and
sho\vs the cocked
hat of Napoleon,
sword, gloves, and
riding whip- The
recognized force of
Napoleon as an "ad-
vertising personal-
ity" will render this
piece invaluable for
publicity purposes.
We show also in
this article a won-
derful veneered sat-
inwood and mahog-
any inlaid piano-'
forte, formerly the
property of the
Queen of Spain
(said to have been
a gift to her by the
notorious Emanuel
Godoy) but no less
beautiful for that.
The piece is now
preserved in the
collection of Hud-
son, Park Lane, W.
London.
The "Ruben's Cabinet," also illustrated in this article is of the
very early date of 1620, preserved in the Royal Collection at Wind-
sor Castle. It is executed in carved ebony and veneers.
Still other classics, held in reserve by the Committee, include a
reproduction of the Coronation Chair of Edward 1, in West-
minster Abbey and probably one of the earliest forms of veneer
work in England. The woods are "layered," then covered with
a plaster surface and cut away leaving reliefs which were then
gilded.
Classics of Veneer
It is impossible in the narrow limits of a brief descriptive article
to attempt reproduction of the several hundred classics of veneer
which the research has brought together. We may mention, how-
ever, the following.
At the Wayside Inn at Sudbury, Mass.. the custodian will point
with pride to the justly famous writing desk of Daniel Webster.
It is veneered. When John Hancock directed his representative
in England to obtain for him the finest sideboard that money could
Veneered and Inlaid Piano Made for a Queen of Spain
buy he gave his order for veneer confident of pleasing.
At the Historical Museum at Portland their proudest possession
is a beautiful veneered mahogany and ebony writing cabinet,
some six feet in length by three feet deep, inlaid and banded with
satinwood. It was once the property of the ill-fated Marie An-
toinette.
Another unusual plate is that of a beautiful Sheraton writing
desk formerly in the Willett Collection, a genuine Sheraton
veneered with satinwood.
The Committee has even gone so far as to resurrect quotations
from Sheraton himself on the antiquity, beauty and perferability
of veneer. We quote him as follows from the report of the British
Royal Institute. "The ground, glue and extra time required for
veneer are more than equivalent to the extra cost of woods in
solid pieces." In fact, Sheraton is at some pains to instruct the
cabinet makers of his day in the proper laying of veneers, and
time has proven that when well laid they will last for centuries
and yield contrasts by opposing, reversing, or otherwise adapting
successive pieces of veneer of practically identical patterns, ut-
terly unobtainable
in solid woods.
Chippendale's
famous bookcase,
Chippendale chairs,
sideboards and com-
modes are also in
hand in the form of
photographs show-
ing the veneer work
employed by that
master ; also some
remarkable speci-
mens by the broth-
ers Adam, a most
extraordinary side-
board by Hepple-
white, superb pro-
ductions by Pergo-
lesi and many
others.
Will Not Neglect
Plywood
And side by side
with the veneer sec-
tion of this advertis-
ing campaign an al-
most practically
equal space w^ill be
devoted to plywood,
historically and otherwise. Special reports have been assembled
from the best informed scientific sources including the best prac-
tice of the manufacturers themselves and from the various bureaus
and institutes concerned in the development and extension of the
scientific employment of laminated wood construction. For in-
stance, the Committee has obtained a special report from the lead-
ing authority of the Ohio Mechanics Institute and the glue in-
terests will be interested in the following excerpt taken from the
report: "The effect of using glue in bonding the alternate layers
of plywood is a most important factor. The application of glue
to w^ood acts not only as a binder between surfaces but penetrates
the wood fibre and acts as a binder between the fibres themselves,
providing a greater resistance to longitudinal shear, besides in-
creasing resistance to all other forms of stress. It does this be-
cause good glue is stronger than the element of friction which
nature provides between wood fibres. As the penetration of glue
into wood is not great its influence on the ultimate strength of
thick layers other than at their immediate junction may not be
appreciable. But in thin veneers, particularly inner ones glued
on both sides and subjected to heat and pressure, the penetration

is an appreciable proportion of the Uminations and adds to the
completed built up construction a considerably increased resistance
to all forms of stress. Cross veneering or cross layers prevents and
minimizes uneven shrinkage in the wood and thereby reduces the
internal stresses which are such an element of weakness in solid
wood."
AD in all the material assembled for the Veneer and Plywood
Committee, and which is now practically complete, is in very
many respects the most thorough and scientific ever brought to-
gether for the purposes of an advertising campaign, and it is justly
believed that its effect in the trade and with the public at large
can hardly fail of very substantial benefit both in a business way
and as an educational force for "better furniture for better homes"
and a better understanding of the undoubted ascendency of veneer
as a fine art.

founded. His sons, George F., Jr., and Louis A. Kretschmer, are

The Max Schuelke Organ Company, Milw^aukee, suffered a heavy

The operations of the Wood-
Mosaic Company function
with precision because every
step has been part of a well-
conceived plan. The basic
thought is a plant for each
type of production. Thus,
every foot of Wood-Mosaic
hardwood lumber and ve-
neers in walnut, oak and
poplar is produced in a plant
designed especially for the
manufacture of each class of
product.
This holds from the logs,
which are the careful se-
lection of a trained corps
of twenty timber buyers,
through the final operations
of handling the manufac-
tured product, special equip-
ment having been provided
for each unit of manufacture
so that the lumber and ve-
neer product may be always
correctly dried and further
prepared for consumer's use.
We solicit the opportunity of
demonstrating the value to
you of such an organization.

Bachman trade-mark is the stamp ol quality. It rep-
resents two generations ot honest business and is your
guarantee ot complete satistaction.
Bachman quality begins at the beginning. Good
lumber and good veneer require good logs, conse-
quently we buy only the best grade available. Our
expert sawyers, planers and tinishers — men who have
worked with hardwood practically all ot their lives
— convert them into hardwood lumber, Hooring and

From the tree to the trade "we make it so we
know it's right". Every foot of lumber and veneer is
careiully inspected betore shipment. Only the very
best is good enough to wear the Bachman label.
Recent expansions in our facilities enable us to

Furniture Industry of Czechoslovakia
Furniture Kas hitherto been an important item of export from
Czechoslovakia, and there are at present more than 50 large
factories which inake wooden house furnishings of various sorts.
The industry has important resources in the rich forests which
exist in almost everj' part of the State. In Bohemia and Moravia
are forests of oak, walnut, and cherry, and in Slovakia there are
maple and ash trees.
One of the difficulties which the trade faced after the close of
the war was the centering in Austria of the veneering plants. In
order to make the country self- supporting in this respect, two
thoroughly modern and w^ell-equipped factories for making veneer-
ing have been established in Czechoslovakia, but they are not yet
In operation. Most of the furniture factories are up to date in
their outfits. They also have the advantage of skilled artisans,
whose hand labor is no small element in the w^ork. Recently a
movement was set on foot to introduce national designs into the
furniture for export trade. Samples of goods of this sort w^ere ex-
hibited at the Prague Fair last spring. — Trade Commissioner D.
L. Breed, Prague, In reports U. S. Department of Commerce,
August 1 9.
New Chicago Corporations
The Leader Furniture & Phonograph Company has been organ-
ized in Chicago with a capital slock of $20,000 for the purpose of
manufacturing and dealing in phonographs, furniture, etc. Ar-
ticles of incorporation have been filed. The incorporators are
Alexander Friedman, Aaron Friedman and Samuel Friedman of
1 79 W. Washington street.
The Peerless Upholstering Company is another new Chicago
corporation. This was formed by Harry S. Harned. Max Krause
and Paul C. Gottlieb and will manufacture and sell furniture.

WHAT does it mean to you as a buyer to
have implicit confidence in the source of
your most important raw material supply?
For instance, all informed buyers recognize
the true superiority of northern grown hard-
wood lumber and veneers— the product in
which we specialize. Big customers stay on
our books for years because it is easy for
them to determine that we never have cut
anything but the genuine northern grown logs
in oak, walnut, maple, ash and other major
species. The same sincerity maintains with
our rotary cut poplar offering. And withal is
that correctness of manufacture and honesty
of contact with customers that has been the
bulwark of this business for over a half
century. It will profit you to know us better.

walnut and at this time has a stock of the finest logs that Maryland
and the Virginias can produce. Operations began on September I.
The company's new^ plant is equipped with new^ capital, ma-
chinery and is situated in a large manufacturing site that was a
munitions plant during the war and is ideally located for veneer
manufacture. In the design and layout of the machinery every
effort has been directed toward the simplification of the work and
the ease of handling the product from the log to the veneer.
The officers and directors of this corporation are all trained
men, having had years of experience in their work. O. H. Wil-
liamson is the son of O. E. Williamson, the founder of the William-
son Veneer Company, who until his death in 1914 was the presi-
dent of that company. O. H. Williamson up to 1917 was the
superintendent of The Williamson Veneer Company and upon the
outbreak of the war with Germany he enlisted and served two years
as an aviator in France. Upon his release from the service he en-
gaged in the cutting of veneers in New York City and after six
months of that was employed as purchasing agent for the Talge
Mahogany Company, with which he worked until he became presi-
dent of the Williamson-Kirk Veneer Company.
C. Nelson Kirk has been engaged in the walnut log business for
the past ten years and has acquired during that time the reputation
of being the best in his line in this country.
Another active official of the corporation, M. D. Williamson, is
also a son of O. E. Williamson, has been the head buyer for the
Williamson \'eneer Company, Baltimore, for the last six years and
is of course thoroughly familiar with the veneer business.

Evansville Furniture Sells Well
The semi-annual furniture and stove market given at Evans-
ville, Ind., from August 29 to September 3, under the auspices of
the Evansville Furniture Manufacturers' Association was a success
and manufacturers are well pleased with the result and are now
looking forward to the next market. The market had been widely
advertised as John C. Keller, the secretary of the Evansville Fur-
niture Manufacturers' Association had sent out in the neighbor-
hood of 16,000 invitations to retailers in practically every state
in the union and to points in Canada, Mexico, Cuba and Porto
Rico and there were nnany responses to these invitations and man-
ufacturers were highly gratified at both the number of people who
attended the market and at the extent of the sales.
The attendance was a little larger than the first Evansville
market which was given last April. Dealers came here from about
twenty states in the United States and from Cuba and one dealer
from Cuba purchased several carloads of furniture and had it
shipped to his home. States like Florida, New Mexico, New Jersey,
Ohio, Kentucky. Tennessee, Michigan, Wisconsin, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Pennsylvania and others were represented. While Evans-
ville manufacturers led in the exhibits there were exhibitors here
from about eight states in all and practically everything that is
used in furnishing a home was displayed on the market. Three
large buildings were used for the exhibits.
The sales at the market just closed were from 25 to 50 per cent
larger than at the April market, and this was as good as the man-
ufacturers had anticipated. The sales at the April market totaled
a little over $100,000.
Manufacturers reported that goods made from imitation walnut
lumber took the lead in the sales at the market this fail. The bed
room and dining room suites in veneered gum imitating walnut
easily scored first place. The second best sellers were kitchen
cabinets and dining room suites made of oak. while goods in the
mahogany took third place. The displays were larger than they
were at the April market.
The Evansville plants are now being operated on an average of
45 hours a week, although the plants of the Karges Furniture
Company and the Wemyss Furniture Company for some time
past have been operating on an average of 54 hours a week, this
being the schedule that they maintained before the starting of the
world war. Now that the market is over the manufacturers be-
lieve they v\ril| be able with the large number of orders that they
secured to keep their plants running for several months to come.
They are quite optimistic over the trade outlook and are in a bet-
ter frame of mind than they have been for some time past. The
manufacturers report that salesmen going out among the trade
now and calling upon the men w^ho attended the market this fall
will meet w^ith a hearty reception. They are looking for trade
conditions this fall and conning winter to steadily improve and be-
lieve they will feel the effect of the market for a long time to
come. Some of the manufacturers believe that by the first of the
year many of the plants w^ill be able to operate on full pre-war
time.
The executive committee of the Evansville Furniture Manufac-
turers' Association that arranged the market is composed of Ed-
win F. Karges, chairman; Gilbert H. Bosse, Sol Reese, H. W. Goebel
and Clarence W. Noelting. The committee will have a meeting in
the near future when dates for the next semi-annual market -wiW be
fixed.

Ideal Fraternity in Business
The idea of fraternal relations between rivals in business is ex-
pressed in a most unique and successful way by the annual Mid-
Sumnner Outing Meeting of the Northwestern Table Club Manu-
facturers. There is probably nothing that takes place in the busi-
ness world that is just like these outings. For the promotion of
sheer good fellowship there is probably nothing in any business or
industry that surpasses them.
The 1921 outing (July 28 to 31) has just been held and it was
as enjoyable and as useful as any of the previous ones could pos-
sibly have been. The latest meeting was conducted at the summer
home of Mr. and Mrs. William Pfefferkorn on Golden Lake, Wis.
In all thirty-nine persons attended, including members of the clubs
and their families, M. Wulpi, secretary, and guests. The three
days were spent partially in the formal business meeting of the
club and partially in social diversions. The sleeping accommoda'
tions consisted of the summer residence, which was occupied by the
ladies of the party; a screened pavilion, occupied by the girls, tents
for the boys, and the "Barn-de-Lux" for the men. The party en-
joyed boating, swimming, wiener roasts, amateur theatricals and
Famous Shearer Sidehoard Made for the Bank of England
various outdoor games. There was something doing every minute,
either of a business or recreational nature.
At the business session Mr. Wulpi reported that the "July market
had closed, meeting the general hopes for steadiness. A good
many small orders were placed and prices, though extremely low.
were well maintained. Business is not yet out of the w^oods, but
it is well over the hill." He advised that "careful operation will be
necessary until spring when good business is apparent."
Among those present at the outing were Geo. B. Wilson and A.

National Council Meets in September
The National Council of Furniture Manufacturers will meet in
Hot Springs, Ark., at the Homestead Hotel on September 28 and
29. Among the important matters that will be discussed is the
million dollar publicity campaign which is now being organized.
Twenty-Five Million Furniture Merger Far Off
Report of the imminence of a 525,000,000 merger of furniture
manufacturint; interests, representing 40 per cent of the furniture
production in the country is discounted in authoritative circles in
Chicago. This authority admitted that negotiations for such a
merger are under way, but declared that the matter is still very
indefinite. He thought the report given out in New York was very
premature. At any rate, he declared, the merger would be so large
a part of the total manufacturing interests of the furniture industry
as 40 per cent.

The Hardwood Market
CHICAGO
Some slight improvement in demand may be recorded for the Chicago
market within the last fifteen days. The best demand is coming from
the yards, which are taking the opportunity of extremely low prices to
lay in stock for future. The furniture people are buying somewhat bet
ter. The sash and door manufacturers are making some substantial pur-
chases. There is not much but still some demand from box makers. The
flooring manufact\irers are very active, but ar<' not buying as mucli stock
as their activities might indicate. They are picking up distress stocks
and also are running largely on previous purchases.
BUFFALO
The hanhvnod yards roport that tin- sah-s arc slightly on tho iiuTPas*'.
nlthniigli thoy du not yet attain any large total. lUiyers are taking hold
rt'hictantly, owing to the dullness prevailing in thir own lines of business,
as well as to the feeling that prices may go lower as the result of a
reduction in freight rates. Lumbermen look for a fair trade to develop
in the next two months, with a little advance in prices in some cases.
At present the buying is confined mostly to mixed ears and a good many
different woods are being sold.
A comi)aratively large amount of liuilding is going on and this gives an
impetus to the flooring trade, which is said to have been on a fairly active
basis during the past month, with prosiiects of increase this nmnth.
Prices are said to be holding steady in this line. Low grade lumber con-
tinues to be in ample supply.
CLEVELAND
Ilardwooil nnirket situati<»n here may lie said to be firmer in the last
fortnight as the result of speedier progress in c<tnstruction work wliicli
has been under way for the last two or three months. Contractors have
been buying heavier in finishing material particularly, and considerable
oak and maple flooring has been taken. Individually these orders have
not been large, but the total volume has resulted in a satisfactory amount
of business as a whole, something which could not be said at the l)eginning
of August. Ail this has served to reduce stocks and consequently firm the
situation here, although actual change In prices is lacking. It is the
intention of retail interests, apparently, to replace their stocks only as
they reach the vanishing point, and consequently it is quite as difficult
as ever for the wholesale distributors to interest the .yard factors. For
the same reason little new hardwood material is finding its way here.
Possibilities of improvement in the manufacturing trades, as an <i\itlet
for added hardwood consumption, are diminishing as the summer wanes
and fall approaches.
BALTIMORE
Orders for hardwoods are reported to be coming in more freely in the last
two or three weeks than was the case prior to that time, and the feeling
in the trade is accordingly improved. So far the expansion in the m(jve-
ment hat not approached a stage of real activity, but a noticeable gain
in the distribution Is none the less to be recordeii. and producers as well
as wholesalers again ask themselves If this is the beginning of a real
revival, repeatedly expected before, but always deferred. The orders that
come out are being placed on the old price levels, no advance in the iiuota
tions having resulted so far; but even under these conditions a good
impression has been made among harilwijoii men generally. The demand
has tended to emphasize the fact, which was known to experienced mem-
liers of the trade with facilities for getting information, that stocks of
hardwoods are not heavy and that comparatively little would he required
to bring on a positive scarcity. With many mills closed and with others
still running much below capacit.v, there has been no opportunity to make
extensive additions to the assortments of lumber in hand, which is an
additional factor that will have its effect when the buying movement once

gets wi'll under way. The belief Is gaining ground that the bottom of the
di'pifsslon has really been reached and that anyone who enters Into com-

tions will not recede materially.
BOSTON
While it is true Ihat the whidc lianlwooils traile here is unsatisfactory
ami not at all up to normal, yi-t there is eneouraginK news about the trade
licre at present which augurs well for this month and the fall in the
npinion of many. Most of the hardwoods wholesalers here report an
iniprovement l)olh in demand and incjuiry. This is not an improvement of
Ijcjom size but the kind of bettering which sensible men say means the
lieginning of lietter things. There is a little more liuying by the house
linish people and consideral)ly more inquiry. That is certain. This
afl'ects about a fifth of the total hardwoods trade here. There is more
demand and inquiry from the hardwoods yards and from the furniture
people. While it cannot lie said demand is really at all substantially ini-
Ijrtjvcii in l)usiness with the musical instrument, piano, automobile !}ody
or <liair making industries, tliere is a little more inquiry from them. Tiiere
is a slight strengthening of the market noticeal)ie. There is still weakness
in tile common grades, but the weakness in the upper grades is growing less
and dealers are realizing the lessened supplies in these grades. Theiv has
ln-en a little advance in white ash here and there is talk of more a<lvances
Itecause of the scarcity of better grade stock. Maple is still pretty cheai>
and some bargains are still to be had but firmness is looked for. There
is more inquiry for both red and sap birch, and a little more demand, so
they are strengthening. With the characteristic quality of the mont'i of
August of bringing dullness to the whole lumber traile here, better busi-
ness is looked far as a matter of course, if for no other reason. There is
more oi)tiniisin among the hardwoods people than for a long time past.
Yet there is lots of room fiir iniprovement. for all is not yet rosy.
COLUMBUS
A (lecidoil improvement in tlio ti»ne ()f the lianlwcMni tnulf in oontral
f»hio has taken place during the past fortnight. Buying is of better volume
;inil inquiries are more numerous, making a better feelin.g in all localities.
It is believed that the worst of the slump is now over and that a continu«'d
betterment will be shown from this time on.
Retailers are still the best feature of the trade. Dealers' stocks are not
large and a fair run of business from yards has been booked. These orders
are generally small, as dealers are loath to accumulate stocks for the
future. Mi.xed cars appear to be the rule. Factories are also placing
tirders rather actively and this is helping out to a large extent. Furniture
concerns which had good shows earlier in the season have worked up their
old stocks and are buying rather actively. Railroads are placing inquiries
preparatory to buying later when satisfactory financial arrangements can
be niaile. Box factories are also buying well, principally ktw grade stocks.
There is a continued scarcity of the higher grades of oak and poplar.
and consequently the demand is being switch to medium grades to a certain
extent. Shipments are coming out promptly from all sections. Prices
are stronger and there is not nearly as wide a spread as formerly. Pros-
pects for the future are considered good.
CINCINNATI
Optimism has taken the place of pessimism in the hardwood circles in
this district, and there is a feeling expressed on all sides that the middle
of this month will see a decided change for the better in market condi-
tions. A slight improvement has already been noticed, especially in the
demand for No. 1 common, as prices on this stock have advanced from
$2 to !f5 a thousand. Finish and flooring stocks are scarce, due to the
fact that the mills are not accumulating this material, but simply keep-
ing in pace with the demand. Cheap stock is rapidly disappearing from
the market, and there are a good many inquiries out for firsts and seconds,
especially in walnut, oak. poplar and gum. Furniture manufacturers have
sliown better activity than any of the other wood consuming industries.
r)uring the past tw() weeks they have bought gum and oak in No. 1 common
and better and sending with their orders the intimation that the revival
of business on an extensive scale is just right around the corner. The
railroads are still holding off placing orders and many hardwood dealers
have practically given up hopes of getting any real business from this
source this year. Oenerally speaking, the volume of business during the
month of .Vugust was not large and for tlie most part the items purchased
were used for fill-in purposes. Prices also are a bit firmer and collec-
tions while slow are somewhat improved. Retailers are placing small
4>rders mostly to fill in depleted stocks in order to be in a jiosition to take
• are of the fall demand. The outlook is too uneeriain tor any predictions.
INDIANAPOLIS
Little improvement is to be seen in the liardwoOfl situation here, in
fact some grades are a tritie weak to quoted prices of a etiuple of weeks
ago. Building is proceeding and at the present time the biggest group
of consumers of hardwoods here is the sash, door and interior trim manu-
facturers. Tlie furniture trade is doing some buying, but most of it ap-

Ijetirs to be for walnut Vfurei-s iinil crntini,' liimbcr. The furniture trade
expects to boost its business in Imllana by means of tlie industrial show-
to be held in Octol)er. At the present time, however, orders are small
and the furniture exeeutives believe It will be a question of some weeks
yet before there is any luerease iu demand. Some business is being done
by the automobile body plants here, but the business is not what it should
be JudKinK from the retail sales here In Indianapolis. Other Industrials are
weak, thnuKh there is quite a large volume of re|>alr work lieluK done In
tile terminal shops here of the various railroads.
SOUTH BEND
I'riees remain firm and unehauseil. Quite a volume of business has
been booked In this territory on hardwoods, and there has been prac-
tically no change iu prices for the past 00 ilays.
Some of the large buyers are at last awakening to the fact that hiiuhcr
production has been curtailed to such an extent that if they wait longer
there is no assurance they will be able to get lumber wlien they need it.
The hardwood men in this territiu-y are more optimistic than at any
lime during the past ninety days. They have ailopti'd the "watchful wait-
ing" policy, feeling they have reduced prices to a point even lower than
the closest of l)uyers ever expcctt>d to see again.
FAS plain oak continues iu strong demand, witb \i'i'y little stock to be
had at any price. All grades of poplar, sap gum .ind hickory seem to be a
■drug on the market.
EVANSVILLE
llardwothl lumber manufacturers of Evausville and the tri-state terri-
tory report that there has been some improvement in trade during thf
past two or three weeks, and they feel like they will have a very nice trade
during the next three mouths. They report there is less cheaper grade
lumber on the market than was found a few months ago, and prices ari'
holding firm and the market is becoming more and more stabilized. The
mouths of July and August were as good as the nmnufacturers had antici-
pated. They had not looked for any great amount of business during those
months. September has started off very well, and both orders and
inquiries are coming in fairly well. C<jllections are holding their own very
well. While many of the large hardwood mills in this section have
operated little during the past few months, there are evidences that they
■will operate on better time during the next few months. Many of the
nmnufacturers have been laying in a good supjily of logs recently, and
are now well stocked on logs. Wood consuming plants in Evausville, as
"well as those at Henderson. Ky., Owensboro, Ky., Tell City, Ind., Jasper,
Ind., and other cities are being operated on part time. Most of the plants
in Evausville are running on an average of 50 hours a week, while a few
factories are operating 54 hours a week, this being the pre-war schedule.
Farm implement manufacturers report that the outlook Is better for them
than it has been for several months past, and that jobbers and retailers
report farmers buying more liberally now than for a long time past. Plow
manufacturers are especially optimistic over the situation. The retail
lumber trade has showu some signs of picking up since the first of Sep-
tember, and sash and door men say that there has been a marked increase
in their business. Planing mills are fairly busy now. Taking it as a
■whole, the situation is quite encouraging, and it is generally believed that
the worst of the business depression has departed and that from now on
trade in most lines will continue to improve.
MEMPHIS
The ilemand for hardwood lumber dues not sliow niucli change. Tht-re
is, however, a rather more optimistic feeling among members of the trade
regarding the outlook, based in part on the better domestic inquiries and
in part on the larger l)usiness under way with lOurope. The American
Overseas Forwarding Company reports that shipments to Europe through
this agency during August were the largest for any single month sluc<'
1919. It qualifies this statement, however, by saying that, although
there has been a pretty fair business with Europe, the volume is very light
compared with normal for this time of the year. Flooring manufacturers
continue the best buyers in the domestic tield, and it is believed that they
will sulistantially increase their purchases iu the near future, for the
reason tlxat Ihey are ktmwn to be doing more business than at any time
for a whole year, and for the additional reason that they have been rather
slow about buying during the past several weeks. There is no large supply
of No. 1 common plain red or white oak, and holders believe that, with tlie
entrance of flooring manufacturers into the market on a larger scale, there
will be an appreciable imrease in prices. Some are talking ,$,"iO for No. 1
common white oak. Funnture manufacturers may l)e buying considerable
hardwood lumlier tbrougli wholesali-rs, but Ihey nri' making very limited
purchasi's tlirect froni manufacturers. Other consuniing interests, too arc
continuing their policy of Imying only against their more immediate needs.
There is a slightly larger movi-ment of very low grade lumber reported
because of the efforts being made in some quarters to get rid of this in the
view that there will he no apprecialde increase in prices on this class of
material even if there should be a general revival of demand for southern
hardwoods. This idea is liased on the largeness of the supply thereof and
on the relative smallness of the demand, as well as on the fact that freight

rates are so high that there is very little chance for active buying thereof.
There Is, on the other hand, an increa.sing disposition on the part of
owners of No. 1 common and better to ask stlffcr prices in the l)eliet that,
with the reopening of business and with the general suspension of manu-
facturing operations, there will be an opportunity of getting rid of this
sort of lumber on a better basis.
LOUISVILLE
Husiness has boen so niucU better during tin; \};\i>\. Ihm? or four weeks
that almost all reports received arc optimistic, and tell of good sales
and slilpmonts. with inquiries heavy. It is held that many of the con-
cerns which are not handling good business are at fault in that they are
not traveling enough men, working hard enough, or making any real
drive for business. The high cost of traveling has resulted in some con-
cerns traveling light, which means that they can't hope to secure the
large business that they secured during the period pri<ir to the war.
Demancl for walnut has been very active, while fnr poplar, gum, ma-
hogany and chestnut it has been good. Sound wormy chestnut for core
stock, has been in better demand. Oak is fair in quartered and better In
plain. Ash and hickory are showing very little improvement. One feature
of the market is that there is not much cheap lumber being offered, and
nrices as a whole are much better maintained, and the producer who is
holding for his price, Is managing to get it. The furniture trade con-
tinues active, while better prospects are showing in the implement, auto
and wagon trades. Interior trim is fair, but hardwood flooring manu-
facturers are not buying much lumber.
ST. LOUIS
Trading in hardwoods is on a shopping basis — an unusual feature being
that most of the buying is in assorted carloads. There is very little op-
timism in the trade.
There Is an encouraging sign in the increase in the number of btiildings
being erected. During the months of June. July and -\ugust. 1920. there
were 2,211 building permits issued, mostly for commercial purposes. Dur-
ing the months of June, July and August, 1921, there were 2,921 permits
issued. Of those issued in 1920, 86 were for dwelings and in 1921, 215
were for dwelings.
There has been some buying of car materials, especially for repair
purposes.
TORONTO
Hardwood stocks of most of the retail lumbermen in Toronto are low,
and buying continues to be from hand to mouth and in mixed cars. One
of the reasons for the dullness in trade is the uncertainty in the matter
of price and the possible production next year, coupled with the uncer-
tainty as to the proposed reduction in the freight rates. It is the general
impression, however, that the reduced freight rates will not go into effect
until the end of the year. The bright spot in the situation is, the reopen-
ing of a number of furniture factories and other wood-working plants
which have been closed for some months. These have now resumed opera-
tions and renewed activities in these lines is expected to stimulate business
to some extent. Labor conditions are still unsettled and business generally
is dull. Little change is looked for until the hope<l-for revival in industry
becomes general and labor costs for building purposes become lower. Some
forced sales are still causing prices to be lowered in individual cases, but
it is claimed that there cannot be much reduction, if any, in prices, in the
regular w-ay. Word from Northern Ontario is to the eflfect that operations
will be the smallest in many years. Wages still remain high and operators
are determined that they must come down. Today the wage offered by
lumber companies seeking men is $26 per month, as against last year's
peak of .fTO per month and .$90 per month paid the winter before. At
North Bay last week the first call for help tor the lumber camps for the
present season came into the Government Employment Bureau, when a
north shore contractor asked for fifteen men. Wages offered were $26
to .$32 a mouth with board. It is stated that men have been hired for
other camps at as low as $18 per month.
NEW ORLEANS
The hardwood market for the New Orleans territory continues to be
iliiiet and there are but few changes to be chronicled for the preceding
lortnight.
.\s for production, this phase of the industry is still far below normal ;
being, in fact, almost negligible, in some quarters; but the tendency to close
down seems now to have been quite definitely checked in all sections and
the tendency is to start up operations again or to increase the output
wherever |>ossible where the mills have begun to open up.
The local market shows some, rather wholesome signs of improvement
anil local retailers apparently are doing a thriving business.
The export movement for Mexico. Cuba and a few other Latin-American
lioints shows some improvement and inquiries from interior points are
a bit more active than tor any time before the preceding fortnight. Prices
remain firm and the downward tendency on the lower grades seems defi-
nitely to have reached the very bottom and to have lieen checked.

LARGE HARDWOOD TIMBER TRACT
"THE BEST QUALITY, LARGEST BODY
AND FINEST TRACT OF HARD-
WOOD TIMBER LAND IN THE
UNITED STATES TODAY."
This, In brief, is the opinion of one of the
foremost lumbermen in the country who has
been over and examined the property. Located
in one of the Southern-eastern States, very
convenient to transportation and the markets,
containing in excess of 80.000 acres and cruis-
ing approximately 850,000,000 feet of the highest
grades of Hardwood timber. Trees on this
property from five to eight feet In diameter are
common and the quality is excellent. There is
also some equipment, mill, bunk houses, etc.,
etc., which are included with the sale. Amount
originally invested in this tract was in excess
of $3,500,000 and it has been carried on the
books of the company at $8,000,000. It can now
be purchased for less than two-thirds of the
original investment and Is probably the last
opportunity to secure a fine hardwood tract
east of the Mississippi River and greatly under-
priced.
Particulars will be given to interested pros-
pective purchasers only. Cruise maps and pic-
tures are available. Address all inquiries to

Easiest Handling
buy the
Hoosier Self Feed Rip Saw. This machine has earned thousands
of dollars for owners in the manufacture of dimension lumber, crating,
etc., because its entirely novel design, resulting in surprising ease of
operation and adaptability, makes possible a profit where a Ion* '*
often expected in this work. The
Hoosier Self-Feed Rip Saw
has a positive and powerful feed which handles the heaviest material
as readily as the lightest.
The table, raised and lowered with the crank in front of the ma-
chine, is always level — always securely locked.
The Hoosier rips anything up to 6 inches thick and 17 inches wide.
It feeds 35, 75, 100 or 150 feet a minute.

facilities — enable us to handle your every
requirement in Northern woods.
The personnel of our organization has
been chosen for unusual practical experi-
ence. These points count strongly to the
discriminating buyer who wants some-
thing quickly. We can always cut special
orders in Hardwood or Hemlock dimen-
sion. Our specialty is the famous Shaw-
ano County Hard Rlaple up to three inches
in thickness, and hearts and skid stock
lor the industrial trade.
WHILE PKESENT ORDERS ARE AS A 'Rtjtt
SMALL. THEY WILL SERVE WELL FOR 4
TRIAL. LET US EIGUKE WITH YOU.

General Market Conditions
EVEN THOIUJH KKI'OHTS OF BUSINESS comlitious ;uv lu.t
eiitiroly I'on.si.sti'iit in every reference to various important mar-
kets, the fact remains that there is evidence justifying the statement
that reference to depression can now be expressed in the historical
seu.se. It ha.s been exceedingly interesting to watch the progressive
development in business conditions and at the same time a very difli-
cult job to sort out the essential from the nonessential indications,
firawing one's conclusions from a parallel alignment of contrary facts.
The job of business prognostication over the past year has been
fraught with difficulty and in its efforts HARDWOOD Record has con-
sistently endeavored to record the average sentiment and to disco\uit
extreme experiences'. Thus while conditions were on the declining
stage it was lu'cessary to reject the experiences of those who for some
leason or another were still able to keep up at the top and also those
who in the beginning were in the extreme depths of pessimism. Even-
tually business reached a seemingly level stretch, marked, howe\er, by
many abrupt rises and many precipitous plunges to unfathomable bot-
toms below. It was necessary, though, to bear in mind constantly the
net result of observations and thus II.\F!Dwood Kecoud has consis'tently
recorded for some time a practically immobile state of trade.
Then gradually there develojied a preponderance of optimism over
]iessimism in which the high points scored more heavily over the
lower points with resulting more favorable levels. This state has con-
sistently continued for the past two or three months until todaj' the
success of favorable factors over unfavorable influences has so dis-
tinctly arrested itself as to have earned its right to dominate.
Still, though, one is not justified in predicating judgment upon lone
experiences and thus Uakdwood HKrORU has discounted to a fair av-
erage the experience of one large and conservative Memphis operator
whose record for the jiast ten days shows sales at actual price increases
of from $2 to $5 within a week's time, covering several of the major
hardwood items iiudusive of some of the low grades. A fair average
statement, though, would fully justify at least a partial acceptance
of this one experience as indicative of the whole. The record of in-
creasing inquiries and orders from Memjihis is borne out from many
^~ other points and is resulting from increased business with consuming
crj industries. In the meantime log and lumber production is practically
'' non-existent, sto<-ks are disappearing with increased rapidity and with
I actual danger of exhaustion in some items. Though the experience of
^^ all hardwood men mav not neces.sarilv support the statement that busi
I—
CD
ness is definitely improving, the exjierience of the average oi>erator is
assuredly along those lines.
The Right and Wrong of Anti-Misrepresentation
Campaigns
AT THE I'fiESENT MOMENT it ai.pears that the efforts to
cover up the identity of the propagandists sponsoring the
much-talked-of anti-substitutir)n campaign have in themselves aroused
such a widespread curiosity as to the identity of that individual, or
individuals, that the real point is missed and the nu^ritorious principl.'
lost sight of. It would be well, therefore, to remind the trade that
just because in this campaign the jirinciple is seemingly being sacri-
ficed to iiulividual ambition.s, there is no reason why misrepresentation
in furniture manufacture and merchandising should be tolerated.
The position of plywood in furniture and interior finish manu-
facture is firmly established and is expanding with astonishing
rapidity. Its use in jirojier combinations and ])roper locations in-
sures not only much more strength, durability and gencr.-il quality,
but makes possible effects in beauty and color jihysically unattain
able otherwise. No man of intelligence and sincerity can success-
fully dispute plywood's right to the jiosition it holds.
These facts are pointed out because H.Minwooi) RKroni) believes
the cfTort to eradicate misrepresentation is so all-important in the
campaign to gain popular interest in furniture and so necessary
in engendering a popular sympathy with the lumber industry, that
it is deplorable to jeopardize the chances of attaining those ends
through methods that are certain to create antagonisms rather than
the sincere cooperation so necessary to any big effort.
Furniture is sold as a necessary household utility, purcha.sed for
its beauty of color and design, its strength and durability. It is
offered in various standards of manufacture so as to present to the
public these essential feature at a range of prices designed to meet
individual ability to ])ay. Thus it is obviously an economic im-
possibility to eliminate the substitution of cheajier woods in the
construction of furniture designed to represent mahogany or wal-
nut, and any effort to bring about such elimination would appar-
ently be against public interest. However, the public should know
what it is getting and should be convinced of the sincerity of the
furniture industry in marketing its product. It should not, though,
be rendered suspicious of every ]dece of furniture it sees, by prop-
16
HARDWOOD RECORD
September 25. I'.fll
agandii which would lead to the natural deduction that all furni-
ture inanufacturers are criminally engaged in the ])ractice of
misrepresenting their product and gaining immense profits there-
from. The furniture buying public in the main is unable to i)ur-
chase furniture made entirely of the more expensive cabinet woods.
It .should, therefore, be given the option of paying the price f<ir the
all genuine article or paying a smaller price for a jiartially gcn-
>iine article, and in the case of the latter decision should not be
compelled to believe that through that choice it is necessarily losing
anything in durability or utility.
Every impulse of honesty, though, dictates that the liuycr should
be given .-i real opportunity to judge for himself, and obviou.sly
that he might do so, he must be informed of the character of the
component parts in the piece he is about to purchase. The imme-
diate advantage of this education would be to conclusively show
him that by sacrificing the sentiment and satisfaction which always
attaches to the knowledge that one possesses the genuine article,
he can secure the same utility and beauty of design and at least
an approximation of the general beauty of color and figure at .-i
low cost or that by paying the higher price he can embody all of
these latter advantages with the first.
Unfortunately there are some makers of furniture and some deal-
ers in furniture who willfully and deliberately misrepresent their
goods. Habdwooi) Record believes, however, that the vast major-
ity of furniture manufacturers marketing furniture partially made
of other woods than walnut or mahogany have no such intent to
deliberately misrepresent, and sincerely believe that they are
merely following legitimate trade custom in their designation and
description of articles.
The honest furniture niauufacturer who is not guilty of will-
fully misrepresenting, is entitled to believe that one liandliug such
a substantial quantity of hardwoods in the form of furniture as
does the average retail linyer, should be sufficiently conversant
with the raw material refpiirements involved in the manufacture
of moderately jiriced lines, to recognize for the most part the
character of the component jiarts of the article and to realize that
the term "finish'' as used in describing furniture obviously refers
to the finish ])ut on tlic furniture. It is far-fetched reasoning
which argues that it can refer to anything else. At the same time
inasmuch as the use of this term might apparently lead to confu-
sion, descriptions should lie further amplified by the manufacturer
in order that responsibility may rest upon the retailers' shoulders.
The manufacturer then should educate the retailer to the economic
and frequently constructional necessity of using other than the
higher priced woods, in \arying degree according to the selling
price of furniture, and should further educate the retailer so that
he may in turn projieriy |ircseut the articli' to the prospective
buyer.
Such educational work is being successfully carried on today and
its jiossible accomplishment is the permanent elimination of illicit
practices, for with education comes conviction, whereas from
threats come alarm and subterfuge. The walnut association has as
cuie of its principal purposes such an educational campaign and it
is the announced principal purpose of the mahogany association
launched on August 1, to maintain a similar effort. In its cam-
paign which has been carried on now for some time by the walnut
association, it has had the support of both manufacturers and
dealers, whereas while the current propaganda will easily scare
off those who have willfully misrepresented, it is a)iparently hav-
ing the additional effect of creating distrust among the other ele-
ment, which result will be more harmful than beneficial. The
attemjit, though, is not futile if this succeeds in bringing to a head
the necessity for getting action in the matter of misrepresenting
furniture. Substitution is logical and economically necessary. The
exjianding use of plywood is desirable and conducive to increas-
ing strength, greater beauty and increased lasting qualities when
properly used, but willful misrepresentation should auil must cease!
Steel Trust's Greed Maintains Depression
TH.\T THK GREED OF THE WALL STREET MASTER.S of
the great steel companies is standing between the Nation and
recovery from the blight of depression is claimed by John B.
Dunlaji, editor of "Industrial Man.agement, " who has called on
the trade press of the country to lay the facts before the people.
Mr. Dunlap declares that "the way these speculators in 'steel
common' h.ive tied up our great steel industry now jiromises to be-
come a national scandal — because it is so inhuman and wholly
unnecessary. In cold blood they have summarily discharged over
a million steel workers, who for months past have been idle, and
tlieir definite purpose is to cut off supplies and thus force steel
consumers to go on paying war prices, precisely as they forced
Director General Hines, against his vigorous public protest, to pay
the exorbitant price of $47 per ton for steel rails — and other steel
equipment in proportion! That has already cost the railroads and
the taxpayers hundreds of millions of clollars — and tlii- ijrofit sheets
of the steel companies prove it conclusively.''
Since 1914 the eight leading steel organizations have made a
net increase in cash surplus and working capital of :ipproximately
$600,000,000, in spite of paying all fixed charges and making unpre-
cedented expenditures for " 'ordinary repairs' and new construc-
tion," Mr. Dunlap says. But in spite of this bountiful harvest of
war profits the steel makers still insist upon their exorbitant war
prices for steel, thus forcing the consumers to remain "out on
strike. ' ' There can be no renewal of prosperity and unemployment
and a depressed commerce and industi-y must continue as long as
this greedy policy is adhered to, he contends.
This editor believes that publication of the facts will so arouse
the public that the steel speculators will be driven from their uncon-
scionable position. Lumber, of course, will take an enthusiastic
interest in seeing this done, for the lumber industry has taken its
defiation medicine, a dose that well nigh laid it out, and is in a
position to realize how damnably unfair any other policy is.
The .\uieric.iii who has partaken of food in a Greek restaurant
can't help but symii.-ithize with the Turks in the present little mix
uji in the Near East.

Trained Leadership
By Lester G. Herbert
Till' i;iT:it lUTil of the wcnM tinhiy is for stroiit;. capabU', traiin'il
leadership.
Then' are |ileiity of iiiru for llie plaees in life which are of rela-
tively less iiiiportailee, but when an exeeiitive is needed who is
thoroughly prepared, the task of finding him is not always easy.
Til ere is a reason.
A f;rcat many people lack the o[iport unity .-ind otlu'rs laek the
disposition to carry on and on until they ha\c perfecteil them
selves in their chosen line whatever it may be.
A singer with a rarel.v l)eautiful voice recently presented him
self to one of the largest theatrical managers on the Pacific Coast.
This man heard the singer with close attention, and the applicant
for a contract was satisfied that he had done well, and had made an
impression, therefore he was greatly surprised when the man-
ager said to him earnestly:
"My friend, go back to your teachers and coaches and finish
your work. This country is already full to overflowing with peo-
ple who have partly-trained voices. If you aspire to leadership yon
must finish the job, and because so few stick their training out,
w:i\ed adieu, .ind gone on. What is there to it J What do somi'
men possess that others lack.'
Let us look the situation s(|uarely in the face. It is said that
the average individual is not more than from 20 to HO percent
illicient. The great ma.iority pf people who remain in the ranks are
probably not more than 1^ to \'i percent efficient. They use
muscular strength, pcrhajis, but do not coujile it with vision and
mind stuff; or they are satisfied with the everlasting execution of
detail under supervision; or they content themselves with blind-
.illey .jobs.
The men who is from 20 to 30 percent efficient may be no better
endowed by Nature than the man he directs — but he is trained in
a measure at least to use a certain percent.-ige of his latent pow-
ers. Latent energy is that which exists and can, under the right
management, be brought into active oper.ition. The leader must
learn to use his latent powers and to the degree in which he learns
to use them, will he be a success.
It w.is this capacity for preparation — for the use of latent pow^-

The writer of this article gives all of us who aspire to bigger things in our chosen work something to
ponder over. He says: "The moment that we stop growing or reaching up and out, that moment we stop

leadership will offer you great rewards once you are prepared to
head the jiroceasion.
"(io to theater after theater today and you will be astonished
to see and to hear men and women on the stage with beautiful
voices and undoubted talent who are filling minor positions. The
reason is that they have not pushed on to the point of perfecting
their training. The}' arc not prepared. And so their natural cap-
ital of ability avails them comparatively little. ' '
The same holds true whether one expects success in the giving
of public entertainments, in managing a big lumber business, or
in handling the executive details of distribution. One of the great-
est foes to progress in this world is contentment with our own
efforts, or a disposition to say, "I'll call it a day's work;" or
"I've done as much as is necessary — and then some;" or to feel
that the plane already reached is the ultimate goal.
The moment that we stop growing or reaching up and out, that
moment we stop climbing, but someone else, some other executive
or some other firm may not be taking things as easy as we are, and
so there is always danger in such a case that the story of the hare
and the tortoise will be repeated.
Time is mighty imi)ortant, for the average man has only a limited
number of producing years. Action is important, for results never
come alone through wishing. Results depend upon desire, which is
intense wishing, j)lus intelligent action, plus persistence.
Yet most of us know people who have initiative, energy, ami
are reasonably frugal in the use of time who never seem to climb
beyond a certain altitude. There seems to be some stoppage some
where which prevents further advance. After .-i time that indi
vidual begins to take it for granted that he has gone the limit ami
cannot expect to jirogrcss farther. It is human and natural to
find excuses and to be able to explain satisfactorily to oneself at
least, the reason why.
But .iust what is the reason. Others have overcome greater ob-
stacles and greater handicaps. Otln'rs have come to this point.
Kaph.iel, Angelo, Corot, Watt, Morse, Fulton, Edison, Columbus,
Livingston, Newton, Darwin, Cicero, Gladstone, Emerson, ami
hundreds of others leaders of outstanding character. They simply
took stock of themselves, and after inventorying their abilities,
practically said in substance:
"Here is my capital. Unless I use it, if will not be of much
value. To use it I must concentrate and study and work. I must
exercise self-restraint. I must push forward and sacrifice, if need
be, that my training be more nearly perfected: T must be pre-
pared. ' '
And because they developed their latent powers it was the mo.st
natur;d thing in the world that they should become more eliicient,
more far-sighted, more skilled, than the average individual satis-
fied with using from 20 to 30 percent of his possibilities.
"The kingdom of God lies within." "Know thyself," is as
wise advice today as ever it was. Perfect symmetry of life and
character must stand back of all permanent results, and perma-
nent results, fine and splendid, and of dazzling magnitude are pos-
sible when we are prepared for leadership through the use of the
latent powers which The Creator of the universe has given us.
Foreign Lumber Trade Outlook
The high grade of American lumber and the reputation it has
established abroad assures its continued poi)ularity in the world's
markets and pessimistic reports to the contrary are unwarr;inted.
says Axel H. Oxholm, chief of the Commerce Department's new
Lumber Division, in his first report entitled ' ' Present Conditions and
Future Outlook of the Anu-rican Lumber Industry and Trade,'" to be
published shortly.
The lumber export trade of the United States during the last fiscal
year shows a much smaller decrease than that of any other country.
Stocks of high-grade American lumber abroad are not unusually hea\7-
aud prices for the American product have not fallen in comparison
with North European and Canadian prices, particularly in the more
coniinon <jrades. the report says.

Probable Requirements of Hardwood for Turned
and Shaped Wood Products
By W. A . Babbitt
The average lunilienii.-iii Imcs I lie |iri'seiil logfiinK season witli
iMiieh uncertainty. The past season has lieen one of the most
disastrous ever experienced. The visible liazards of undertaking
operations arc far more numerous than tlicy were a year ago. In
spite of all manufaetured and all gpuuine oiitimism, he faces the
fact that hardwood values are still declining. He sees no buying
in sight that will shore up a tottering market.
On the other hand, he is not n little jiuzzled as to \vliether the
"bad signs'' that he sees everywhere are signs of the times that
have past, or the times that are to come. Last year signs went by
contraries. Is that the case this year.'
In order to answer this question for manufacturers of turned and
shaped wood products, a questionnaire was recently sent out, con-
taining numerous questions on this one phase of production, and
sent to all sections of the Hardwood Belt.
As this group is one of the largest buyers
of hardwoods, it is possible that the re-
turns of this questionnaire are of general
interest. Each reader will naturally put
his own interpretation on the returns.
Boiled tlow'n to a single question, the
direct inquiry was made as to how niucli
lieldover stock each firm had on hand,
and how long this stock would last at
the current rate of production. The firms
reporting were located in hardwood cen-
ters from Maine to Texas, and were di-
vided into several local groups.
4. Wliy This Group Is Out of the Market
1. The Situation as a Whole.
The average amount of stocks on ham!
for the entire grouiJ is sufficient to last
for SEVENTEEN months, at the present
rate of production. This does not mean
that these groups will be entirely out of
the market for that period. But the only buying that can be
reliably anticipated will be small lots to replace shortage in certain
lines of stock regularly carried.
2. Analysis by Groups.
New England Grou]): Stocks in hand for 23.5 months.
New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia; Stocks in hand to last
16 months.
Ontario and Quebec: Stocks in hand to last for 16 months.
Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas: Stocks in hand
to last 12 months.
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Mii-higan and Ohio: ."^tnck^ in h;iud to
last 11. S months.
3. Comment.
It will l)e notcti that the largest stocks are to be found in New
England. A further analysis of this group shows that these exces-
sive stocks arc largely in the hands of concerns who manufacture
their own stock from the stump.
For the past five months, the vohune of business actually shipped
by the wood shaping and turning industries has hovered around
25 percent of normal. This normal is not measured by dollars,
but by volume of output, which naturally refieets the amount of
lumber consumed. Practically all this output has been sold for
much less than cost to produce. Existing conditions do not offer
liope for early betterment of this situation.
The continued frantic efforts of
hardwood lumbermen to unload
stocks of dimension and other lum-
ber at unheard of low prices is pro-
longing the demoralized state of the
market. There can be no hope of a
return of stabilization to the market
as long as these frantic efforts to un-
load are continued. In fact, says
W. A. Babbitt, general secretary of
the National Association of Wood
Turners, the group of industries he
represents is in such shape as to be
indifferent to the most extravagant
bargains, and "give-away" quota-
tions to them will do no good. — The
Editor.
LuiiilHriuen will draw their own conclusions from the above
facts. No group of industries can go into the market under sucli
conditions, no matter what price inducements arc offered. A
steady losing market for ontjiut, and at least a year's supjily of
lumber, on the average, are practically unsurmountable barriers
fur the most enticing bargains to hurdle. There come to the
writer's desk long lists of bargains in clear ilimension stock at un-
believable prices. No doubt the firms offering this stock to an
industrial grouj) long committed to standardization wonder why
their offerings go begging. We hope that lumbermen understand
after reading this statement. I have before me an offer of clear
squares, national inspection, at less than half of the cost to pro-
duce. This offer conn's from a reliable
■ lud naticiually known company. If it is
jiroper t(i express an opinion on this
tender, it would be moderate to say that
it is demoralizing to the whole lumber
industry of which the wood fabricating
industry is no unimportant part. There
c:iu be no argument on the statement
tliat there will be no stable reconstruc-
tinii of the market for lumber, especially
li.irdwoods, which wood fabricating in-
iliistries normally supply, so long as lum-
bermen continue their jiresent frantii-
efforts to unload.
It seems to the writer that a sound
optimistic view may well be taken from
a careful study of the data just sub-
mitted. There can be no question that
we have experienced a slight but dis-
tinctly favorable turn in the industries
referred to in this article, during the
last six weeks. Taking the Middle West groups as a basis, an
increase from 25 percent of normal production to 40 percent will
'put this powerful buying group in the market by April next at
the latest. When they are able to buy, sellers will find them
quite as apt to recognize a bargain as they were "before the war.'"
National Lumber Manufacturers' Association
Holds Standardization Conference
in Chicago
Lumber manufacturers, distributors and consumers will hobl a
standardization conference at the Congress Hotel in Chicago on
October 18, it was announced here by the National Lumber Manu-
factiuers ' Association.
.Xccordiu^ to the association, it is not renewing the lumber size
investigation upon which it made a report in September, 1920, but
is arranging the meeting to afford each association of manufac-
turers, distributors, architects, engineers, contractors and lumber
consumers to participate in whatever action may be undertaken
along this line b.v the I'nited States Forest Service.
The Forest Service has announced its intention to engage in a
lumber st:indardization investigation for the purpose of promoting
the standardization of sizes, p;itterns and grades.

tour of the Orient, during which he visited his company's opera-
tions on Negros Island, three hundred miles south of Manila. The
company's mill site is called Fabrica and there is operated the
most modern sawmill in the Islands. This mill contains four band
saws and is capable of producing three million feet of lumber per
month. Adjacent to the saw mill the company has three large open
sheds under wliich is dried Iuml)er for export.
Loading Barges at Dock, Fabrica
The company uses ten skidders to bring the logs to the railroad
and load them on the cars. They have five locomotives which draw
the log trains to the mill. The timber which the company is
cutting is very large and one log often fills a car. When ihr. Edg-
comb arrived at Fabrica after the trip down from Manila on the

company's steamer "W. P. Clark," the loggers had just brought
down a tree which measured eleven feet in diameter twenty-four
feet up from the ground. The great buttresses which support the
towering immensity of the many such trees on the company 's opera-
tion and sustain them against the fury of tropical hurricanes, com-
pel the loggers to cut the trees very high up, necessitating, in such
cases, the building of a scaffold, upon which the axmeu and sawyers
may stand to do their work. These men chop and saw into the
mammoth trees until they begin to crack, then they quickly wedge
them and leap to the ground to get away before the crash comes.
The majority of these great trees measure 100 to 125 feet in height
up to the limbs. One of the photographs presented indicates the
great circumference of the buttresses of such trees and another
shows the method of cutting from a tall scaffold.
About 65 per cent of the Insular Lumber Company's cut is Philip-
pine mahogany and the remainder other hardwoods which are mar-
keted locally. Mr. Edgcomb states that the company's concession
has been cruised, showing that it contains sufficient timber to oper-
ate the mill at Fabrica for nearly 100 years.
The Insular Lumber Company maintains its own fleet, consisting
of eight steel barges, holding from 225,000 feet to 275,000 feet of
lumber each, and one wooden barge. The "Clark" is the largest
tug in the Islands and will take two or three barges to Manila,
making the round trip in about five days.
The local sales at the mill amount to about 500,000 feet per
month. A great deal of this is taken from the mill on native
prows, carrying from 1,000 to 12,000 feet each. "There are from
ten to thirty Filipinos on a prow," Mr. Edgcomb said, "and
at least half a dozen game cocks to try out against the local cham-
pions encountered on the cruise."
The company employs about 1,000 men in the timber and at the
mill. The mill site, Fabrica, is a very pretty town, with comfort-
able bungalows for the Americans, separated from the native vil-
lage. The company maintains an ice plant and cold storage, dis-
tilled water ice cold and electric lights, all of which make living at
Fabrica very comfortable.
The company ships large quantities of lumber to China and
Australia as well as the United States, and has been able to run
full time with a good many unfilled orders on the books.
In January, however, when Mr. Edgcomb and his party reached
Manila they found as strong evidences of depression as they had
just left in the United States. Most of the sawmills were either
closing down or curtailing their production.
Besides the lumber and other industries on Negros Island there
are seventeen sugar "Centrals" costing from $500,000 to $4,500,000
each, Mr. Edgcomb said. His party visited several of these sugar
mills. Each of them has from twenty to ninety miles of railroad,
and most of them have been built within two years. The manager
of one of the mills, who was from Honolulu, said he did not think
it would bo long before Negros Island alone would be producing
more sugar than all the Hawaiian Islands.
"This is a very interesting country to travel through," Mr.
Edgcomb stated. "There are a great many rivers, which are either
crossed on bamboo floating bridges or on ferries built of two dug-
out canoes pulled across by means of a rattan rope. The sugar
industry in the Islands is in its infancy, as only a small portion of
the good sugar land is now under cultivation. With a stable gov-
ernment this and all other industries will develop very fast.
"The independence question has been discussed so much that I
will not attempt to comment on it. I might say that I did not find
a Filipino who wanted independence, once I got his candid opinion,
unless he was a politician."
On his tour Mr. Edgcomb was accompanied by Mrs. Edgcomb
and their son, Ervin; W. P. Clark, president of the company, and
Mrs. Clark; J. Sloat Fassett, a large stockholder and director; his
brother, James A. Edgcomb, and the latter 's daughter.
After visiting the company 's operations the party returned to
Manila and on May 17 sailed for Hong Kong. After a week's
stay there they went on to Shanghai, spent several days there and
made a railroad journey to Tientsin and Peking. They discovered
that all the large cities in China are very progressive, having wide
streets and large office and bank buildings. They were accorded
the greatest courtesy at every stage of their journey in China, the
Chinese having a special liking for Americans.
Prom Peking the party went to Korea, stopping two days in
Seoul, the picturesque capital. They found the Koreans most inter-
esting and entirely different from the other Oriental peoples. "The
Japanese have done a great deal for the advancement of the coun-
try," Mr. Edgcomb said.
Leaving Korea the party crosscd'to Japan and took a train to
Yokohama. While in Japan Mr. Edgcomb took particular pains to
observe, as he had done in Korea, the progress of the Japanese in
reforestation. He found that every hill, little or big, was covered
with small trees set out in rows, properly spaced. "They seem to
be giving this more attention than we are in America," he said.
"We not only had a very interesting trip through these coun-
tries," Mr. Edgcomb said, "but I sold several million feet of lum-
ber and established connections which will give us an ever-increas-
ing market. This market is very different from any other that I
know of. While most of the lumber is used in inch, the Orientals
order 90 per cent of it two inches and thicker, a great deal being
in large squares. These are taken to the building under construc-
tion and sawn by hand to the required dimensions. I asked one
Chinaman why they didn't buy more inch lumber. His reply was
that their people had to have work."
Grand Rapids Is on ^ 'Hawk'' Hunt
By Grand Rapids Correspondent
Grand Bapids manufacturers have devised a method by which
they hope to stop the activities of George S. Hawke, the Cincin-
nati attorney, and whoever is behind him in his propaganda against
the misrepresentation of woods in furniture. Already many a lumber
salesman has felt the spotlight turned upon him in such manner that
he will undoubtedly advise his house that this is a good time to
use whatever influence the concern may have to "call off the
dogs." Manufacturers cannot but feel that somebody interested
in mahogany and walnut lumber is behind the movement in which
Mr. Hawke is the only one to come into the open. In consequence
whenever a lumber salesman calls upon a Grand Rapids furniture
manufacturer he is promptly asked: "Is your concern in any way
connected with the campaign of propaganda carried on by Mr.
H.awke? If it is, we want none of your lumber. If you can give
me positive assurance that you are not, then we'll talk business."
This line of talk has been handed out to exexy. lumber salesman
who calls on the Grand Rapids trade, and, as a reswitj the salesmen
are very busy securing positive assurance from the head of the
concern that that particular conipanj' is not only not associated
with Mr. Hawke, but does not approve his methods. One sales-
man with a handsome order in sight was forced to wait until he
could secure such assurance before the order was signed. He got
the assurance and the order with it, but furniture manufacturer?
are not disposed to give any aid or comfort to the campaign now on.

News from the National Capital
Suggestions from the Lumber Trade
Mr. Axel H. Oxholm, Chief of the Lumber Division, has just
returned from an extensive trip through the Northeastern States,
where a series of conferences were held with the local lumbermen
and lumber exporters. Meetings were arranged in the following
cities: New York, N. Y.; Buffalo, N. Y.; Nortli Tonawanda, N. Y.;
Boston, Mass.; Portland, Mc, and Bangor, Me. After having briefly
explained the organization of tlie Lumber Division, and the service
this division is prepared to render the lumber industry, the lumber-
men were asked to offer suggestions for the planning of the work
of the division so as to enable the Department of Commerce to
work along practical linos.
It appeared that the lumbermen desired the Department to
continue the work of investigating foreign sources of supply and
markets, and declared themselves satisfied with the work already
done along these lines in previous years. Furthermore, they sug-
gested that the information already published should be kept up to
date by additional statistical information from time to time.
Suggestions as to Trade-Marking and Uniform Grading Bules
A great many exportors desired to have the Lumber Division pre-
pare a report on the trade-marking practices abroad in connection
with lumber aud also to make a tentative proposal regarding a uni-
form trade-marking system for American lumber for export, pref-
erably to be taken up through various export associations.
Various other questions, such as an efficient arbitration service
abroad to settle claims and the bringing about of more uniform
grading rules for exports, were also brought up, and it was requested
that the department should use its influence with the lumber
exporters to have them come together in regard to these matters and
adjust them satisfactorily.
Literature and Conversion Tables
Kxporters having had experience abroail were anxious to have
the Lumber Division prepare some literature outlining the prop-
erties andTises of our principal species of lumber for export. Such
reports, to be published in the form of pamphlets, should contain
such information as might bo useful for importers and consumers
abroad; in other words, they should be written for the foreign cus-
tomers. If such pamphlets could be translated into one or various
foreign languages the material would be more valuable. By having
the Government publish these pamphlets a greater importance
would be given this material and it would not be treated as ordi-
nary advertising matter.
In connection with these activities it was also urged that the
department publish in some form its tables showing the conver-
sion of European standard of measurements to American standard
and vice versa. This would greatly assist the American exporters
and their foreign customers in their dealings. It was suggested
that a blank space be left for the exporters to have printed their
names and addresses so that they could inclose these tables with
their sales letters or send the tables to their customers for New
Year, together with calendars and other advertising matters.
Nomenclature Suggested
It was also suggested that tlie Lumber Division should, in co-
operation with other Government bureaus and trade associations,
bring about a more uniform nomenclature, covering various species
of lumber both for domestic and foreign trade. The present system
is often very confusing. This work should be undertaken in con-
nection with the trade-marking of lumber by indicating the species
of wood at the same time. It is also urged that the department
assist the lumber exporters in having certain practices corrected

regarding the careless handling of American lumber in some for-
eign ports when being unloaded from the vessel. A great deal of
damage is inflicted upon the American exporters every year in this
way.
New England Lumbermen Handicapped
It was very apparent that the lumbermen in New Euglaud
States were handicapped because they are not as well organized as
the lumbermen in other parts of the country. It is evident that
if the Lumber Division is able to carry out its plans to be of the
best possible service to tlie lumber industry, a great deal will depend
upon a close coiiperation with the local associations in each dis-
trict. Otherwise it will lie practically impossible to reach but a
limited number of operators and exporters. This question was dis-
cussed and there seemed to be some interest among t!ie lumbermen
to do something along these lines.
Hardwoods Have Been Neglected in Maine
A peculiar condition exists in tlie State of Maine. While the
stands of spruce and the pine have been exploited very extensively
in the past, leaving at the present time only small quantities avail-
able for export, the hardwoods have been partly neglected. There
are excellent stands of maple, birch, poplar, and other species for
which the local lumbermen have not found a good market. There
do not seem to be any important industries in that State using hard-
woods as raw material. It is firmly believed by local experts that
the hardwood industry would be a profitable activity and the de-
partment's assistance was requested in enabling the Maine lumber-
men to have the hardwood stands opened for exploitation. This
could be done if a profitable market could be found for them
abroad or in the United States.
Mr. Oxholm will remain in Washington a short time and will then
proceed, on September 17, on a similar tour to the Pacific coast.
This trip is expected to last about 30 days. Later this fall a trip
will be taken through the Middle West, the Mississippi Valley, the
Gulf and South Atlantic States. The itinerary will be announced
later.
A sweeping world-wide survey of the commercial laws of foreign
countries, on a scale greater than ever has been attempted by a
government, will be launched shortly by the new Division of Com-
mercial Laws, of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
A series of carefully prepared questionnaires will form the liasis
of the survey. These will be sent to legal authorities throughout
the world selected by representatives of. the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, and through the cooperation of representa-
tives of the Department of State in the foreign countries.
When the raw material is received in the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, it will be edited, carefully, and, with the
assistance of learned counsel, prepared in the form of special
booklets as follows:
(1) ''Doing Business Under Foreign Laws," with full jKuticu-
lars as to the operations of foreign branches of American firms,
organizing companies under foreign charters, taxation, etc.
(2) "Agency Laws of the World," with proper forms for
powers of attorney.
(3) "Bankruptcy Laws of the World."
(4) "Negotiable Instruments Throughout the World."
(5) "Sales Contracts and Foreign Laws."
(6) "Commercial Disputes Before Foreign Courts."
The aim of the investigation is to place at the disposal of the
American business man and his counsel full information on the
principles of foreign commercial laws.

Memphis Market Improves Tone
The Mi'iiipliis liardwood inarkt't is sliowiiifj a Ijottcr tone ami the
outlook is eonsidcrcil much hriglitcr liy iiieiiihers of tlic trailo. Tliis
view is based primarily on the fact that export Ijusiacss is expand-
ing at a very gratifying rate and on the additional fact that
inciuiries from domestic sources arc on a much broader scale.
The American Overseas Forwarding Company reports having
booked 50 cars of lumber for ex])ort in a single day last week,
while its bookings for the entire week in the southern field
amounted to 2,000,000 feet or more. Its bookings for the week
preceding amounted to 1,000,000 feet, with the result that the gain
of the former over the latter amounted to 100 per cent. This is the
most remarkable gain shown for any single week for more than
three years, and is accepted as indicating that foreign consumers
are displaying far more interest in southern hardwoods. Some of
the older exporters here are fighting shy of foreign business because
of credit extensions desired, and because of prices offered, but it is
apparent that southern manufacturers are, in a number of instances,
taking advantage of foreign outlets for some of their holdings.
The Southern Hardwood Traffic Association announces that impor-
tant reductions in ocean rates to United Kingdom ports have
occurred during the past few days, and that these have stimulated
overseas business. The American Overseas Forwarding Company
reports that southern hardwoods are being distributed in practically
all the leading European countries.
It is quite apparent that domestic consumers of hardwood lum-
ber are delaying purchases in volume pending the outcome of the
efforts now being made by the Southern Hardwood Traffic Associa-
tion to secure substantial reductions in rates on hardwood lumber
and forest products. As a general rule, they are buying from hand-
to-mouth, but salesmen from Memphis and the Memphis territory
who have recently returned from consuming centers are unanimous
in the verdict that stocks are very much depleted and that there
must be a decided slowing down in activity at consuming plants or
a marked increase in the quantity of lumber bought within the
next few weeks, whether rates are lowered or not. Already fur-
niture manufacturers are beginning to place orders on a somewhat
larger scale and at somewhat better prices, while box manufacturers
are taking more low grade lumber than for a very long while.
Building trade interests, too, are buying in a somewhat larger way,
and, under the leadership of manufacturers of flooring, are consum-
ing considerable quantities of plain oak, gum and other southern
hardwoods. Inquiries are reported as broadening, and some mem-
bers of the trade say tliere has been more activity during the past
ten days than during any similar period since the depression of last
year manifested itself.
In the meantime, there lias been practically no increase in manu-
facturing or logging operations. J. W. Dickson, president of the
Valley Log Loading Company, is authority for the following highly
rignificant statement:
"We are operating one log loading machine on the Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley lines of th<' Illinois Central as compared with
four under normal conditions. We are ojierating this machine only
about 40 jier cent of the time. We arc loading only 200 cars of
logs per month, compared with normal loading at this time of about
2,000 cars per month, and practically no new logs are coming out
for loading. ' '
This firiri loads a very large percentage of the logs handled by
mills lociilnl on lines of the railway in question, and it is quite
clear, from the extent of log movement and from the failure of logs
to come out more freely for loading, that numufacturing operations
in the valley territory cannot be other than extremely small. The
best authorities here place current production at approximately
20 to 25 per cent of normal, with logging operations, which must
be the measure of manufacturing for the next few months, almost
at a complete standstill.
Manufacturers here and elsewhere in this territory who are keep-
ing their plants idle and who are leaving their trees standing in
the woods are taking this course because they insist that there is
no profit in converting their timber into lumber under present cost
of transportation of logs to their mills and of lumber to consuming
destinations. S. M. Nickej', president of the Southern Hardwood
Traffic Association and an official of the Green River Lumber Com-
pany and Nickey Brothers, Inc., takes his stand on the following
high ground:
"We are not going to start up any of our machinery or put any
crews in the woods until rates on logs to the mills have been sub-
stantially lowered and tliose on lumber moving to consuming desti-
nations have received similar treatment, whether this lowering of
rates takes j>Iace within the next few days or whether it is delayed
for a period of ten years, for the reason that there is not the
slightest chance of making a profit under present transportation
costs."
Other members of the trade, judging from their actions, take a
similar view of the situation. The time of year is at hand when
reserve log supplies for the winter and spring months should be
in process of preparation, but scarcely a move is being made in
that direction by the vast majority of the trade, and the view is
steadily gaining ground that consuming interests who have had
everything their way during the past few months in the matter of
prices may find themselves in the not-distant future seeking lumber
which does not exist. Stocks are admittedly large, so far as the
lower grades are concerned, but it is emphasized that holdings of
No. 1 common and better are already very much broken and that
little is being accomplished in the direction of replenishment. It
is further emphasized that present stocks of the grades in question
are only relatively large at best, and that they would quickly dis-
appear with the development of anything like normal demand, such
as indicated by those who have visited consuming centers and who
have seen how great the activity of plants is as compared with the
stocks of lumber on hand for their needs.

Now this is not because they disapprove the announced purpose
of the campaign. If a dealer is actually selling furniture under
misrepresentation — and it is known that some do so — the manu-
facturers are anxious, indeed, that somebody should bring that
dealer to time. His action hurts the entire furniture industry.
One big manufacturer of cheap furniture, nationally advertised and
well known, has always adopted the policy that any time he catches
a dealer misrepresenting his goods or charging an unwarranted
price for it he will never sell that dealer another penny's worth.
That is tlie general custom among furniture manufacturers of re-
pute, but the c:impaign which Mr. Hawke has launched is looked
upon as an ill-advised campaign which hurts the entire industry by
raising in the minds of the consumers the suspicion that they are
getting plated ware when they believe they are buying sterling.
But it so happens in the furniture industry that "plated" and
"veneered" are synonymous, but that the "plated" furniture is
better in appearance and stronger and more expensive in some in-
stances than the sterling, so that to create the suspicion that
^♦^ptciubiT 25, lH-1

veneered goods is inferior, "imitation" goods is hnrint'ul to tlie
entire industry and is considered highly ill-advised.
Moreover, if the canipaign is backed by somebody with the pur-
jiose only of driving competing woods out of the market or of
forcing the use of solid woods, the manufacturers do not propose to
be a party to the game at all. Therefore the Grand Rapids manu-
facturers arc forcing salesmen to give positive assurance that it is
not tlu'ir particular concern which is backing ^fr. Ilawke.
Commission Disclaims Hawke
The following letter from Willard Winslow, a director of the
Insular Lumber Company, tells of the Federal Trade Commission's
disclaimer of connection with Mr. Hawke:
Referring again to the predatory "Hawk" and the Furniture "Chick-
ens" and your very excellent article in the September 10 issue, will you
be good enough to state to all concerned that inquiry made by our attorney
at the Washington fountain bead of the Fcclcnil Trade Commission elicited
the Information that Mr. llawlie is not aulliorizcd to use the name of the
Federal Trade Commission in any way, and han promised them to desist
and to sonil out letters to parties (circuiarized previously liy him) so
stating?
We agree (as all manufacturers do) that woods should l)e sold under
their true names, as wiii as their products, hut even if and when the
law Is ehangiMl, as regards the consumer, retailers shiiuld not be covertly
threatened by some anonymous and shadowy body.
The United States Supreme Court has decided, in the case of the
Federal Trade C'onimlsslon vs. Winstcd Hosiery Co., in a lengthy opinion,
that unless fraud or misrepresentation was shown or "unfair competition
lietween manutncturers and dealers," the Court had no jurisdiction
"within the scope of the existing law." (See Winsted Cotton Mills case In
Federal Reporter Advance Sheets, Second Circuit.)
There is, as you state, a bill in Congress to "extend the authority oit
the Federal Trade Commission respecting brands and labels, as the .same
affect the consumer."
It seems to us tiuit ilr. llawke's effiprts slionld lie directed to the passing
of this act and not to s<arinK dealers by vague threats. When everybody
is on the same basis, then there wiii be no complaint.
Aa to E. Scoggln, of New Orleans, he seems to have got in a little
over his depth, and his zeal has led him Into several glaring misstatements,
but perhaps It Is not worth while to waste ammunition on so small a bird !

August Building Permits Exceed July 26 Per Cent
August building statistics reported to The American Contractor from 197
cities of the United States confirm other evidences that construction
activity is strengthening. The uundjcr of building permits issued in these
cities during August is 01..T23 as against 45,227 permits issued in 201
cities during July. The valuation of the August permits is $160,028,895.
and of the July permits is .$103,104,856. Considering the number of cities
making returns for each mouth respectively, the average valuation of per-
mits for cities is somewhat larger for August, being .$812, .329, whereas the
average valuation per city fur July is $811,406.
While the valuatiun per city is greater for August the average valuation
per permit is smaller than for July. This may be accounted for by the
predominance of residential construction, whicli may conservatively
be said to comprise more than one-third of all construction activity at the
present time. There is, however, another factor which accounts for the
smaller average size of permits during August, namely, the apparent shift-
ing of the greatest activity from the larger cities, which considered alone
show a drop rather than an increase from July activity.

Evansville Club Holds Night Session
The first fall meeting of the Evansville Lumbermen's Club was held at
the New Vendome Hotel on Tuesday night, September 13, and was largely
attended. J. C. Greer, head of the J. C. Greer Lumber Company, and
president of tlu> club, presided. William S. Partington, the secretary and
treasurer, reported that the storage in transit privileges that the club
had long been fighting for had at last been granted. This will prove of
great advantage to the lumber manufacturers of the tri-state section. It
was pointed out. Charles Maley, who for several years was associated
with the Henry Maley Lumber Company, Evansville, but who for the past
several years has been engaged in the hardwood lumber business at Jack-
son, Miss., was a visitor. He said that trade conditions in the south had
been growing steadily better and he expected to see a nice fall and winter
trade. The next meeting of the club will be held at the New Vendome
Hotel on Tuesday night, October 11. Charles A. Wolflin, head of the
Woltlln West Side Lumljcr Company, who is the chairman of the mem-
bership committee. Is trying to line up a few new members before the next

Plan for Co-operation with Hoover Nearly Mature
Wilson Compton, secretary-manager of the National Lumber Mauufiu--
turers' Association, and one of the foremost Ijusiness experts and ec(Uio-
mists of the United States, has about completed the general plan under
which this association will become a recognized worlsing factor in the
newly estal)lished policy of the Department of Commerce which looiis
toward a strong coalition between tlie government and the business inter-
ests of America. Since lumber is second only to agriculture in industrial
importance it is manifestly logical that lumber should lead in blazing
tile trail liack to national prosperity. It is pointed out that lumlier is in
a partieiilariy favorable position to cooperate with Secretary Hoover
inasmuch as lumber of all liasic industries has deflated most thoroughly
and is now upon approximately the same basis of cost and prices as in
1013. The slightly higher prices of lumber at the present time over
the 1013 period are entirely accounted for by those elements of manu-
facturing cost over which the lumber producers have no control, namely,
sucli elements as higher cost of materials, higher taxes, higher freight
rates and wages that, w-hile much reduced, are still above the pre-war
level. But the lumber industry has liquidated to a point where it can go
to the government with clean hands and help in the general restoration of
industrial normalcy.
Secretary Hoover has pointed out that the United States is in the
midst of a great industrial depression and that the resistance of a few
groups of manufacturers or dealers to lowering prices to the general level ;
the resistance of a few groups of workers to accommodation of their
wage to the decreasing cost of living, and the necessity of a better day's
work : tlie refusal of some people to curtail their extravaganct^ — all justly
contribute to our undoing. More than six months ago the lumber industry
recognized the economic truths so forcibly presented by Mr. Hoover, and
(luring the Intervening period lumber manufacturers have been engaged
in a vigorous readjustment that led to rapid reduction in lumber prices.
So severe was this readjustment that now the lumber manufacturers of the
United States find that in their eagerness to liquidate their business to its
foundations they have actually reduced prices at their mills below the
cost of production and as a conesquence more than half of the sawmills
of the country are either closed entirely or are working half time merely
to keep their organizations intact. .\11 of these facts have developed in
numerous conferences Iwtween Dr. Compton and officials of the Department
of Commerce, and as a result lumber statistics gathered by the National
Lumber Manufacturers' Association under authority and direction of the
Department of Commerce, will be compiled and distributed through federal
agencies and the association itself to the whole United States. This plan
of laying all the cards upon the table is not only in accordance with Mr.
Hoover's policy and the prerequisite to government cooperation with busi-
ness, hut it is something that the lumbermen themselves have sought for
years. They are enthusiastic In their desire to cooperate with the govern-
ment, for in so doing they will thereby purge themselves completely of the
undeserved calumny and slanderous propaganda that has been directed
against the lumlier Industry by those who either ignorantly or maliciously
impunged every act and purpose of the American lumbermen.
S. H. T. A. Confident of Securing Reductions
The Southern Hardwood Traffic Association, in its latest statement to
its members, has the following to say regarding the rate case now pending
liefore the Interstate commerce commission through which it is seeking a
return to the basis of rates on hardwood lumber and forest products In
effect prior to August 2G. 1920 :
'"rt'e are making very rapid progress in the compilation of our exhibits
and testimony to be offered the commission in support of our contention
for rates in effect last August. We feel very confident as to our ability
to obtain substantial reduction in rates."
Cecil A. New, assistant secretary of the association, will be in Chicago
September 21 for an Important conference with officials of the trans-
continental carriers regarding a reduction from $1.0614 per hundred
weight to 73 cents per hundred on hardwood lumber and forest products
moving from Memphis and from Louisiana and .\rkansas points to Pacific
Coast destinations, with the usual differentials from other groups. This
gentleman held a conference with the same ofiicials last week in Chicago
and will return to finish the matter. J. H. Townshend, secretary-manager,
is authority for the statement that the bulk of the movement of hardwood
lumber from Mississippi Valley territory to Pacific coast destinations is via
the Panama canal because of the cheapness of rail and water rates as
compared with all-rail rates. He believes that this movement, which Is
decidedly against the trans-continental lines, will influence them in making
sul)stantial reductions and he confidently looks forward to a material
lowering of the rates to destinations in question. The association has been
working on lowir rates on the iiart of trans continental carriers since last
Marcli.
An Exceptionally Strong Program
Due to the exceptionally strong program which has been arranged for
the annual convention of the National Implement & Vehicle Association
and also to the unusual conditions confronting the industry it is expected
that the twenty-eighth annual meeting of that organization will attract
a record attendance.
The convention will be held in the Florentine Room, Congress Hotel,
Chicago, October 12 to 14, inclusive. The opening session will be con-
vened by President W. II. Stackhouse at 10 o'clock, Chicago (daylight
saving) time. Wednesday, October 12, and the convention will be con-
cluded with the annual lianquet on Friilay evening In the Gold Room.
The more vital problems facing business generally and the farm equip-
ment industry particularly, such as cooperation between government and
business ; agriculture ; labor ; transportation, and finance will be treated
by some of thi^ best known authorities of the country, among them Herbert
C. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce ; Henry C. Wallace, Secretary of Agri-
culture ; Wm. II. Barr, President of the National Founders' Association,
widely known as a speaker on the open shop; Hon. W. P. C. Harding.
Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, and General W. W. Attcrbury,
Vice President of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Lumbermen Told Prosperity Is at Hand
Gilmer Winston, vice luesiclent of the Union & I'lanters Bank & Trust
Company, one of the largest financial institutions in tlie South, told mem-
bers of the I^umbermen's Club of Memphis, at their first regular semi-
monthly meeting of the fall season at the Hotel Gayoso Saturday after-
noon, Sept. 17, that they were on the eve of an era of prosperity that
would last for a number of months, and urged them that, if they had
held on to their lumber this long, they continue to hold on to it a little
while longer with the certainty that they would be the gainers by this
process.
Mr. Winston was decidedly optimistic in his views regarding the busi-
ness situation for the next few months, and he based his optimism on the
following facts: (1) That the advance in the price of cotton ramifies,
in its advantages, throughout the financial and industrial structure of
the whole world : (2) that every indication points to easier money and
more plentiful funds, with particular reference to increase of bond sales
and the discontinuance of short term notes which were so popular when
confidence in the outlook was less certain than now ; and (3) that the move-
ment of the stock market discloses a substantial advance in values, thus
showing what Wall Street and other financial interests think of the
situation for the next few months.
Speaking of the attitude of the banks toward owners of cotton, lumber
and other commodities, Mr. Winston said :
"The banks do not want anybody to go out and sacrifice cotton, lumber
or any other commodity. Banks are merchandising credit just as mer-
clianfs are selling goods. They have no idea of forcing liquidation. Their
policy is rather one of cooperation. Lumbermen who have held on during
the depression of the past year should continue to hold a little while
longer. If they have nerve for a little while, they will come out all
right, because I am confident that we are approaching an era of much
greater prosperity which will last for some months and which is not very
far ahead."
J. H. Hines. president, referred briefly to developments in the yellow-
pine industry which advances and declines ahead of hardwoods. He stated
that the yellow pine market shows a much stronger undertone and that
manufacturers are well booked ahead. He also called attention to the fact
that one member of the Lumbermen's Club who had made three sales of
No. 1 common red gum during the past several weeks had received an
advance of $S per thousand on the last as compared with the first. He
voiced the hope that the prosperity of which Mr. Winston spoke would
materialize between now and the first of the new year, and that it would
eventuate in an advance of at least .$10 per thousand for log-run.
J. W. McClure of the Public Safety Committee of the Memphis Chamber
of Commerce stated that lumber and planing mill interests in Memphis
were expected to contribute $1,000 to the support of this committee in
its efforts to enforce the law in Memphis, and that plans for the collec-
tion of this amount would be completed witliin the next few days. His
statement followed a brilliant address by Judge Julian Wilson on what
the Chamber of Commerce is attempting to do, through the Public Safety
Committee, to curb lawlessness.
Effort to secure passage of resolutions favoring legislation by Congress
to insure payment of $500,000,000 to the railroads in settlement of alleged
claims growing out of government operation failed signally. W. H. Dick
of the Tallahatchie Lumber Company and a member of the Traffic Com-
mittee, declared that, with the Southern Hardwood Traflio .\ssociatioii
fighting present freight rates, on the ground that the railroads are get-
ting entirely too much money, it was not consistent for the club, most of
the members of which are identified with the association, to turn right
around and ask Congress to provide more funds for the carriers. He
stated, among other things, that the Illinois Central earned during the
first six months of 1921 at the rate of 18 per cent for the year on it?
capital stock. He evidently voiced the sentiment of the entire member-
ship because the resolution did not even come to a vote.

Cincinnati Club Notes Improvement
, The first meeting ul' the fall seMsiiii ef Ihe Ciniiiujiill I.mnliei-inen's Club,
whleli was held at the Business Mens Club, \vas devoted to discusshi);
conditions in the lumber Industry. Wholesalers and manufaeturers alike
were unanimous in expressing tbelr opinion that the lumber industry
lias seen Its worst times and that business during the jiast six weeks has
taken on an encouraKlUB aspect.
Samuel Richey of the lumber firm of Klehey, Ilulsted & Quick said that
orders for hardwoods have increased about 5 per cent in the Cincinnati
market during the past month. The three factors that make up the hard-
wood business — railroads, wood cnnsumlng industries ami export trade —
Mr. Ulchey said, were showing hi^tter activity than at any previous time
this year, and tliis is a real indication that buying would start from these
sources shortly. Another matter brought up at the meeting was that
of the club joining iu the Inter-associatlon Arbitration Movement and a
committee consisting of Dwight Hinckley, chairman ; George Hand and
Will Sterrett was appointed to represent the organization at the meetings
of the Inter-asBociatlon Arbitration Committee.
The following concerns were admitted to membership : The M. J. Byrns
Lumber Company and the J. H. Burns Lumber Company of Mansfield, O.,
of which P. D. Bailey is the Cincinnati representative.
Export Revival Imminent Belgian Tells New Orleans
With a representative attendance of members from Texas, Louisiana
and Mississippi — the three states comprising the organization — the South-
western nardwood Manufacturers' Club held its regular monthly meeting
at the Monteleone hotel. New Orlrans, September S.
Short talks were made by leading hardwood manufacturers of the
Southwestern territory and the delegates devoted a couple of hours to
general discussion of timely topics of importance facing the hardwood
industry.
C. J. Coppock of the Cybur Lumber Company, Cybur, Miss., and presi-
dent of the club, wielded his trusty gavel with characteristic force and
vigor and A. C. Bowen of the Southern Hardwood Trafiic Association and
secretary of the club was on the job.
Among the speakers of the day were the following : F. H. Sanguinet.
manager of sales of the Lyon Lumber Company, Garyville, La. ; W. Brown
.Morgan, S. T. AIcus & Co., New Orleans ; C. H. Sherrill, New Orleans,
president of the Sherrill Hardwood Lumber Compan.v, with a huge plant
at Maryvilie, La., and also president of the Sherrill-Russell Hardwood
Lumber Company, Paducah, Ky. : William Fischer, lumber importer of
Antwerp, Belgium ; George Schaad, Southern Hardwood Traffic, New
Orleans, and U. E. O'Rourke of the American Overseas Forwarding Com-
pany, New Orleans.
The committee appointed at the previous meeting to draw up an indict-
ment against the Adanison law with regard to its responsibility for present
high fi-eight rates and the discouraging plight of the carriers, did not make
its I'eport, due to an announcement by Secretary Bowen, who Is also con-
nected with the Southern Hardwood TrafBc Association, that that body had
alreudy exploited that question befoi'e the federal authorities.
Production costs, it was revealed, approximate the $27 mark per thou-
sand! feet. Amount of production does not exceed 25 per cent of normal
and stocks on hand are much above normal, particularly in the lower
grades, the lowest being 100 per cent in excess of normal.
Pi-obably the two brightest spots of the meeting were the talks by Mr.
O'Rourke and Mr. Fischer of Belgium, in which both speakers predicted
improvement in the demand from abroad for Southern hardwoods.
Mr. Fischer said it was idle to expect a rapid increase in foreign buying
until the rates of exchange are better, for the difference of today made it
Impossible for the man in Europe to buy except what be actually had to
have. However, there was an apparent change for the better in Europe,
whicli would bring with it a change in exchange rates and that he looked
forward to a revival of export buying before long. There was a time
when American logs were imported into Europe, but their use had been
dropped because of the rates of exchange, but with a i)etter situation in
the rates there would be a revival of demand for American logs, he
declared. It is now, he continued, a question with European buyers as to
whether they shall buy exchange or American products.
"The consumers and dealers aliroad have no stocks, as the carrying of
stocks ahead is too much of a speculation," declared the Belgian. "France
has lots of good oak and is manufacturing it. The continental buyers are
also getting Slavonian oak, but, of course, they prefer that of the United
States. There is some Japanese oak coming in and there Is at least
5,000,000 feet of such at Antwerp now. It is good oak and well manu-
factured, some of it being better done up than the .American oak. Unfor-
tunately, Japan can furnish only short lengths. For another reason Japan
can never be considered your competitor ; namely, the limit of her supplies.
She has not much to spare."
The Southwestern Hardwood Manufacturers' Club will hold its next
meeting at the new home of the New Orleans Lumbermen's Club, Caron-
delet and Union streets, on Thursday, October l.*?.
New Orleans Club to Have "Hall of Fame"
The New Orleans Lumbermen's Club, comprising in its membership and
officers a number of the leading hardwood men of the Crescent City terri-
tory, is now snugly housed in its splendid new home at Carondelet and
Union streets and is establishing a "Hall of Fame." The hardwood branch
of the lumber Industry promises to he well represented when the selections
of the worthies of the past and present is completed.
W. Brown Morgan of S. T. Alcus & Co., New Orleans, is the hardwood
manufacturer named by President Phil Lanier on the committee of three to
make the selections, as provided for by special resolution of the club.
Others on the committee are Walter C. Wright and Guy H. Mallam, Sr.
The committee jjroposes to admit to the roll of honor about thirty "men
who were iihtneei's and men who are prominent" iu llie industry, hanging
their likenesses In the club.

Larson Loses Hardwood Stock
The Lnrsou Lumber Company of Jeffries, Lincoln county, Wisconsin, sus-
tained an estimated loss of more than $17.5,000 by fire on September 0,
which ravaged its hardwood yards and consumed nearly the entire stocl?.
amounting to about 3,500,000 feet. The hemlock yard, containing 2.000,000
feet, was saved, and the sawmill, planing mill and other buildings of the
Larson group, as well as buildings in the village of Jeffries, were saved
after a hard fight through valuable assistance lent by the tire department
of Rhinelander, Wis. The Larson company was incorporated in 191.3 and
Is locateil at Jeffries, on a spur of the Chicago & Northwestern branch line
between Harrison and Pratt Junction,
Stimson Buys Out Pelican Company
.Vnnouncement was made a few days ago that the Stimson Veneer &
Lumber Company of Memphis, Tenn., has purchased the property of the
X'elican Lumber Company at Mounds, La., six miles from Vicksburg, Miss.
The complete plant, including 10,000 acres of exceptionally fine timber
and timber land, is located in four townships. The mill deal includes a
railroad, running directly from the mill at Mounds, the locomotives and
thirty-five cars, a boarding house for white employes and another one for
colored employes, fourteen tenant houses, two cottages, an office building,
commissary and a steam logging equipment. The timber on the tract is
estimated around 100,000,000 feet. The consideration is reported to have
been about $1,500,000, being one of the largest hardwood transactions in
the South for some time. Only what is Icnown as the '"Dalmatia Planta-
tion" was purchased in fee, the rest being bought for timber rights only,
with fifteen years for removal of timber on lands not purchased in fee.
The right of way tor railroad operations, etc., are to run for twenty-five
years.
Canadian Lumberman and Senator Dies
The death took place in Ottawa a few days ago of Senator W. C.
Edwards, a prominent Canadian lumberman and uncle of Gordon C.
Edwards of Ottawa, a former president of the National Wholesale Lumber
Dealers' Association. Deceased was born in 1S44 in Russell County,
Ontario, of English parentage, and was appointed to the senate iu 1903.
In 1868 he founded the business of W. C. Edwards & Co., lumber manu-
facturers, of which he was president at the time of his death. He was
also president of the Canada Cement Company, the Bathurst Lumber
Company of New Brunswick and of the Ottawa & Hull Power Manufactur-
ing Company, a director of the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the
Toronto General Trusts Corporation. From 1887 to 1903 the Hon. Mr.
Edwards represented Russell Couuty in the House of Commons as a Liberal.
In the business world Senator Edwards will perhaps be best rememl)ered
by the jjart he played in the sixty million dollar paper merger with the
Riordan Pulp & Paper Company, which took place last year, when the
interests of W. C. Edwards, Gllmour & Hughson, the Ticonderoga Pulp
& Paper Company and the Kipawa Compauy were sold. For several years
Senator Edwards had been suffering from heart trouble, but only during the
last month had his health been seriously impaired.
Because of Senator Edwards' close connection with the Nati">nal Whole-
sale Lumber Dealers' Association, through his nei)hew and his own affairs.
John W. McClurc, president of the association, sent M. E. Preisch of North
Tonawanda, N. Y., to the funeral as official representative of the asso-
ciation.
Senator Edwards had several times addressed annual bauquet> of the
association and was well known by its members.
Johnson and Siegel Leave Cornelius Company
.Announcement was made in Chicago the latter part of the week ending
September 24 that J. Albert Johnson, vice-president and for the past two
years Chicago representative of the Cornelius Lumber Company of St.
Louis, Mo., has sold out his interest in the company. It was also stated
that R. W. Siegel of St. Louis, vice-president and treasurer, had disposed
of his holdings. The holdings of both vice-presidents were sold to L. E.
Cornelius, president of the company. The Chicago office in the Lumber
Exchange building, 11 South La Salle street, has been discontinued and the
business in this territory will he handled from the St. Paul, Minn., auti
St. Louis offices. H. E. Cornelius, who has been in charge of the St. Paul
office for the past two years, has been taken into the firm and elected a
vice-president. Verne N. Cornelius, who for some years has been a vice-
president located at the St. Louis office, has been elected secretary and
treasurer of the company.
Mr. Siegel will go into the wholesale lumber business for himself in
St. Louis and will have an office In the Liberty Central Bank building,
Room 1208. The company which he has organized Is called the Central
West Lumber Company.
Mr. Johnson has made no definite plans for the future, but for the time
being will remain in Chicago.

Stillions-Mingea Lumber Company Organized
The StllliouK-Miiiaeii Uimlier Coinpnny lias been iji-Kiinlzed in Memphis
under the laws of Tennessee and Incorporated for .f2D,000. The incor-
porators arc : J. F. Mingea, W. A. Stilllons, J. K. Stillions, H. C. Stilllons
and R. L. Barlles. The Stilllons in the organization are prominent lumber-
men, sinners, merchants and planters of Rome, Miss., who have operated
lumliering and other enterprises tor over tweuty-Ilve years as G. W. Stil-
llons' Sons. They are farming about five thousand acres of cut-over land
in Uie vicinity of Rome. .\t their saw mills they have been cutting cypress
almost exclusively.
G. W. Stillion.s' Sons have never had a sales organization to market
their lumber, and for the past seven years the Tustin Ilardwood Lumber
Company has liad the exclusive sale of their products. The new company
will have the exclusive sale of the output of both mills at Rome. Future
plans also include a large Louisiana band mill and timlier project, insur-
ing about a tifteen-year cut.
The lumber manufactured by G. W. Stillions' Sous will be handled by
the new company on a strictly commission basis, thus leaving the capital
of the comi)auy available for general wholesaling.
J. F. Mingea, tlie secretary of the company, has for the past three years
been associated with the Tustin Hardwood company as secretary and sales
manager. He had previous experience with Ilayden & Westcott and Faust
Brothers lumber companies.
Kellogg Company Buys New Hardwood Supply
The Kellogg Lumber Company, witli headquarters at Memphis and mills
at Richey Sunflower County, Mississippi, has closed negotiations during the
past few days for the purchase of 1!),000 acres of hardwood timber lands,
principally gum and oal;, together with a band mill and re-saw and a
six-mile logging road, from the J. M. Jones Lumber Company, Fondale, La.
The firm has practically completed cutting its timber in Sunflower county
and has acquired the new timber holdings in order to assure itself a
plentiful supply of raw material for a number of years ahead. The pur-
chase price is not known. U. L. Kellogg, brother of C. M. Kellogg, head
of the purchasing firm, has gone to Fondale to take charge of the new
plant. This is the largest transaction in southern lumber circles for a
number of months and indicates that increasing confidence in the situation
is decidedly existent.
"Scandalous" Competition Alleged
In a hearing at Jefferson City, Mo., of Attorney General Barrett's suit
against the Lumber Dealers' Association in St. Louis, O. A. Pier, Secretary
of the Lumbermen's Exchange, testified that iirior to the formation of the
exchange competition among tlie lumbermen in St. Louis was "scandalous."
Asked for a definition of scandalous used in this instance, Jlr. Pier stated
that business was bad, lumbermen were financing jobs, advancing money
on pay rolls, etc. When asked by Barrett whether the exchange had
corrected these evils, he said he could not answer, but that the tendency
was in that direction.
A. D. Ganahl, president of the Helm Lumber Co., testified his company
refused to become a member of the Exchange after his attorney had notified
him the practices of the Exchange were unlawful. The attorney represent-
ing the lumber companies, R. L. Goode, drew from Mr. Ganahl the admis-
sion he had difficulties with the Exchange and had been fined. He would
not admit, however, that the fine was for substituting grades.

notable improvement in business conditions.
CHICAGO
Thanks to the initiative of its advertising department the American
Seating Company of Chicago has largely overcome the effects of depression
on the sale of church furniture and is now able to operate its factory at
Manitowoc, Wis., nearl.v to capacity on the new business created. The
company conducted an extensive advertising campaign directed to the
general public, urging the purchase by those who had suffered the bereave-
ment of lo\ed ones of memorials for placing in churches to honor these
beloved dead. They offered beautiful carved wood altars, litany desks,
consoles, i)aptisiual fonts and such articles of church furniture, including
masterly reproductions in wood panels of such masterpieces as "The Last
Supper," "Christ Before Pilate," "The Adoration of the Magi." The
response to the sentiments and religious consciousness of the public was
so generous as to surprise the originators of the campaign. A recent issue
of "Printers' Ink" carried an article on the campaign, citing it as a strik-
ing case in which an advertising idea overcame the effect of depression.
George W. Hand and Fred Conn, representatives of the Bayou Land &

of Senator Isaac Stephenson of Marinette, Wis., founder of I. Stephenson
Company, has been completed preparatory to the making of a bronze cast.
When finished the bronze will be erected in the park of the lumberman-
senator's native city. Miss Walker is one of America's most successful
and original sculptors and she is said to have achieved particularly happy
results with the Stephenson study. By remembering that senators often
sit down like the ordinary run of humanity. Miss Walker is said to have
given a fine touch of originality to the figure of the senator. The senator
is depicted seated with one arm resting easily on .a table, the table merging
into an alcove, which makes an excellent background.
The Dean-Spicker Company, manufacturer of veneers, has recently pur-
chased a half million feet of walnut logs and will start cutting them up

The Veneer Lumber & Plywood Company has been incorporated here.
The Empire Auto Specialty Company has filed an involuntary petition

BUFFALO
President Harry L. Abbott reports a good attendance at the recent meet-
ings of the Buffalo Lumber Exchange, and he is planning to carry out the
plan of having speakers at the meetings once a month, which has thus far
proved a drawing card. A matter in which the exchange has lately been
interested is the proposed waterfront park, which it strongly favors.
The New York Central Railroad is opposing the city's interests and desires
to build an ore dock ou land wanted by the city.
Frank .Ai. Beyer, treasurer and manager of the McCabe Furniture Com-
pany, Coudersport. Pa., formerly of Beyer, Knox & Co., of this city, and at

that wliilo business is not brisk, his company has handled a good deal of
lumber of late, and he thinks business will improve slowly.
M. M. Wall has been spcndins part of the summer in the AdirouUaiks.
where his family has been during the season. He has been at his desk
at the Buffalo Hardwood company's ofBce, however, muoh of the time.
He looks for pretty fair hardwood trade this fall.
Robert E. McLear of New York has bought 4,05G acres of timber laud
in the town of Worth, Jefferson County, from the Cleveland Estate of

15.000,000 and 20,000,000 feet of timber.
William L. Morley, a well-known member of the lumber trade here for
several years, has become Western New Tork sales manager of the Lanier
& Paterson Lumber Co., New Orleans. His office is at 38S Ellicott Square.
The secret sessions of the grand jury, which has been investigating build-
ing conditions here, has been postponed until late in September because
of the absence from the state of Justice George Vi'. Cole, who has been
presiding over the extraonlinary term of court. District Attorney Moore
stated that it had not been decided what line would next be taken up. The
mason supply dealers, who wiM-e indicted, following the indictment of retail
lumbermen, filed affidavits to the effect that no agreement existed to con-
trol prices. Affidavits filed by the lumbermen stated that the members of
the local association have not engaged in price fixing, and that the indict-
ments do not correctly set forth the agreement made by them in 191G.
which was voluntarily terminated in 1919. A new form of association
was entered into in Octolier, 1919, and after a fviU examination the grand
jury has made no presentment of an indictment, and no charge is made
against the lumber dealers arising out of their membership in the present
association.
BALTIMORE
The Brown-Bledsoe Lumber Company, with offices in the Munsey Build-
ing, this city, which has been active in the Metropolitan and other districts
of New York for some time, has decided to open a permanent branch
office at 391 Hudson Terminal Building, DO Church street. New York. Mr.
D. D. Lawton, its representative, who has been making weekly trips
there, will bo placed in charge. He is a son of William T. Lawton, a
well-known lumber and mill man here, and has been identified with the
hardwood trade for years.
The new plant of Joseph Thomas & Son, on Leadenhall and Ostend
streets. South Baltimore, which was erected to take the place of the
establishment practically destroyed by Are months ago, was put in opera-
tion September 14. It involves an expenditure of a large sum, and has
been fitted up with all modern appliances for the conduct of the planing
mill and mill work traile. The firm is more than one hundred years old.
William T. Lawlou and Joseph T. Lawton are the present owners, they
lieing the third generation in the l)usiuess.
Charles C. Morse of the Morse Bros. Lumber Company, Rochester, N. Y.,
was a visitor here last week in the course of a business trip and called on
some of the hardwood men.
T. B. Bledsoe of the Brown-Bledsoe Lumber Company is back from a
trip of two or three weeks in West Virginia and Western North Carolina,
in the course of which he called at a number of the mills. He reports
some gains in the volume of business, with prices not much changed, but
with the outlook showing improvement.
Another visitor in the last two weeks was W. T. Mason, president of
the Keystone Manufacturing Company, ot Elkins, W. Va., who had lieen
in New Y'ork and stopped un the way back. He expressed the belief that
the outlook was imi)roving.
It was supposed that the statement of exports from Baltimore for
May marked the low mark in the trade, but that month's record has been
superseded by July, with a total declared value for all the exports of
only $3T,419, against $G1.112 for June and $49,228 for May. These
aggregates are really insignifli'ant when contrasted with those for the cor-
responding months of 192«, the several exhibits reflecting strikingly the
extent of the slump that has taken place in the trade so far as volume is
concerned. Of course, there has been no such drop in values, though the
latter also have gone off somewhat.

MEMPHIS
S. H. Anderson, head of the Anderson-Tully Company and member of
the Memphis Uiver Terminal Commission, and Mayor .7. K. I'aine of this
eity have returned from Washington, liringing with them a contract signed
liy the government for !f4,"i0,000 to be furnished by the latter for the con-
struction of adequate river terminals at this point. This contract has
already been passed upon by the city attorney and returned to Washing-
ton. The funds are to be immediately available. The government has
also agreed to let the city have live concrete barges to be used as Hoating
docks. Execution of this contract means the realization of a dream of a
lifetime — direct connection of Memphis, through the Mississippi river, with
ocean-going vessels of tlie world and facilities at Memphis making it possi-
ble for exporters and importers here to take full advantage of everything
such connection means. Shippers of all commodities. Including lumber,
believe that the completion of these terminals and continued operation of
the government barge line will prove a most potent factor in the downward
regulation of freight rates on all commodities and particularly on heavy-
tonnage freight, such ns cotton, lumber, steel, iron and coal. The new
terminals are to be supplied with pliysical connection with all of the
railroads entering Memphis and they will be large enough to take care of
ear load freight in volume. The city has $500,000 of bonds to be sold to
carr>' out its part of the transaction and it is anticipated that work will
begin very shortly on the construction of the terminals.
The American Oversees Forwarding Company received telegraphic ad
vices Sept. 13 that conference rates on hardwood lumber and forest
products had been reduced on that date, effective immediately, 5 cents
per hundred pounds from North Atlantic and southern gulf ports to the
United Kingdom. The export market is showing decldeil tendency toward
expansion and it is believed that the lower tendency of ocean freight rates
■will prove a decidedly stimulating influence.
LOUISVILLE
-Vfter many months of full car supply and after reaching the point
where it was believed that a ear shortage could not happen this year, it
is beginning to look as though the fall will land the railroads again ham-
pered In supplying equipment, and shlppei^ having trouble in handling
their business. Already some of the Louisville companies with mills in the
isolatwl points of the South are reporting car troubles, and calling on
the local hardwood traffic association to aid them in supplying equipment.
It is held that much of the troul>le is due to railroad cars being in bad
repair, especially on Southern lines, where the heaviest percentage of bad
order or shop marked cars are to be found of any section In the country.
The percentage of bad order locomotives is also heavy, and coal movement
has been slow all summer, and Indications are for a rush movement of fuel
this winter, which along with crop movement should result in trouble for
the shippers, especially it business picks up generally and there is a heavy
fall movement.
.T. S. Thompson, manager of the Louisville division of the Southern
Hardwood Traffic Association, left on September 18 for Chicago, and will
get data in shape to present before a meeting of the transcontinental
carriers on September 22, in connection with rates on hardwoods from tin-
South and East moving to the coast, it being reported that lower rates must
be granted in order to compete with Japanese oak on the coast. Shippers
will ask for restoration of rates in effect prior to the last general raise, as
of Aug. 26, 1920.
Louisville hardwood men report that hardwood llooring has Ijceu vi-ry
active, one of the local manufacturers reporting more building In this
section than he has ever known before. The demand for interior trim is
also fair.
The A. B. Smith I-umber Company at Paducah, Ky., which is installing
a new coffin manufacturing plant at ISondurant, Ky.. eight miles from
Hickman, has named C. M. House as manager of the new plant. Mr.
House has had considerable experience in coffin manufacturing and handling
at Paducah, Russellville and elsewhere.
The Mengel Company. I.,ouisville. which some weeks ago closed down

Henry P'ord and son of Detroit, who, within the past year, organized the
Michigan Lumber, I,and and Iron Company, with headquarters at Iron
Mountain. Mich., and built a large sawmill and planing mill, are starting
work on another unit of this large plant, which consists of an automobile
body shop. This is learned through the award of a contract for furnish-
ing the structural steel for this building (o the WordenAllen Company of
Milwaukee. The new sawmill will furnish practically the entire supply
of hardwoods and other lumber, material and stock used in the Tord auto-
mobile and tractor industries and will feed the new body factory at Iron
Mountain as well as the main and branch plants In Detroit and other
cities.
The Cadillac Washing Machine Company of Chicago, which recently
absorbed the Oden Machine Company of the same city, is negotiating for
the plant of the former Clinton Creamery Supply Company at Clinton, Wis.,
as a branch plant. It is a $500,000 corporation and has outgrown its
Chicago factory. Clinton capital will take a financial interest to secure
the industry. The Cadillac company has several important contracts,
among them one from the Romona Trading Corporation of San Francisco,
i-alling for 2,500 machines a year and involving about .$200,000. E. A.
Ri'inman and H. D. Payne are the princi[)al olh<'ers.
The Hardwood Market
CHICAGO
There has lieen a further improvement in the tone of the Chicago hard-
wood market duting the past 15 days. Reports coming from Memphis of
oak and gum items sold for substantial advances have added confidence to
the local sellers, though they have not been selling a great deal of flooring
oak on this particular market. The furniture industry continues to take
considerable stock, though the orders are still of conservative size. Further

Plywood Ad Campaign Money Pledged
President oi Plywood Association Is Perplexed by Disposiilon of Furniture Manufacturers to
Produce Their Own Plywood
The practical details of their participation in the $50,000 nation
wide veneer and plywood advertising campaign were arranged by
the members of the Plywood Manufacturer** Association at a meet-
ing in the Drake Hotel. Wednesday. Sept. I 4. The members present
unanimously endorsed the report of the trade extension committee,
made by E. V. Knight, of the New Albany Veneering Company,
New Albany, Ind., chairman, and pledged themselves for half the
cost of the campaign. The other half will be borne by the National
Veneer & Panel Manufacturers' Association.
Mr. Knight read the preliminary schedule for the campaign,
enumerating the different publications which will be employed to
tell the big story. Prominent in the list is the "Hardwood Record."
Mr. Knight argued at length for immediate action authorizing
procedure with the campaign and led the way in individually sign-
ing for his company his pro rata of the fund. This action w^as
followed by every other member present, thus making the Plywood
support unanimous as well as assuring it financially.
Mr. Knight then introduced Mr. Clendenin, who presented his re-
search report, findings and recommendations on the Plywood side
substantially as follows :
Liberal Support Given
"This movement is largely indebted to the trade press, and very
conspicuously to the editorial support of the "Hardwood Record"
and the several furniture journals for their exceptional and gen-
erous co-operation in giving liberal space to the research develop-
ment up-to-date. They have given us more than mere columns,
they have given us pages and pages, not to mention the very
handsome embellishment of fine illustrations in the various articles
w^hich they have so kindly published. The result of this is already
apparent. Other journals are copying the matter and unusual
comment has follow^ed their lead clear along the line.
"Now on the Plywood side we are again indebted to the Forest
Products Laboratory for many interesting scientific articles and
technical notes, tests and reports on the subject of Plyw^ood and its
various properties as compared with ordinary wood. It would
require extended space to recount the volume and importance of
this material, suffice it to say that we have now in hand a com-
plete and exhaustive analysis of this whole subject in all its bear-
ings, authorities which are unquestionable and final in demon-
strating the superiority of Plywood in its many present uses, not
to mention a most surprising catalogue of potential utilities includ-
ing marine uses and installations, export shipment cartons, kitchen
cabinets, car roofs and panels passenger, freight and street; ice
cream cabinets, filing cabinets, lockers, desks, portable buildings
and garages, roofs, cabroofs, sample cases and tool chests, mine
cages, elevator panels, outdoor sign boards (billboard and poster
display), refrigerators, besides many and various new automotive
and aviative applications."
Plywood in Export Traf^c
Mr. Clendenin here read reports from various authorities on
export traffic, special reports from the marine field and also an
important direct communication on Plywood written by W. M. Mix,
president of the Dodge Manufacturing Company, makers of the
famous Indestructo Trunk, which he declared one of the greatest
examples of the use of Plywood for utility purposes — and stronger
than steel, Mr. Clendenin also called attention to the reports cov-
ering recent action by the Chicago Department of Police in adopt-
ing Plywood bodies for patrol wagons as against steel, same having
been found under test to be bullet proof and bandit proof. Still
other rapidly developing uses for Plywood emphasized in Mr. Clen-
denin's report were: The immense market for this material among
the dry -dock and repair yards where vessels are constantly being
reconditioned." Mr. Clendenin enumerated several dry-docks
and trans-oceanic lines employing Plywood, both for liners and
transports. He cited the case of the well known Leviathan, re-
cently towed to dry-dock for this expressed purpose. One special
authority was quoted for the statement that during the months
of July and August alone one manufacturer of Plywood shipped
seven carloads of that material to one dry-dock.
The lightness of Plywood for construction features aloft was
particularly stressed, increasing a vessel's capacity for freight very
appreciably.
Mr Clendenin's report was unanimously adopted and he was
authorized to proceed with his further investigation and research
on this subject and to report back at the next meeting.
The association then took up the direct-mail-campaign proposed
by Mr Clendenin, also the ways and mean for raising and appor-
tioning the campaign fund, all of which was approved.
It may be brieHy stated that the material reported at this meet-
ing in support of the Plywood side of the advertising campaign was
fully up to that previously reported on Veneer and it was the
unanimous expression of the members that when completed this
matter should be reduced to booklet form for follow-up uses by
the association, by the Plywood Trade Extension Bureau and by
the individual companies in the Plywood business.
A review of the current state of the plywood industry was deliv-
ered at the general meeting by T. D. Perry of the Grand Rapids
Veneer Works, Grand Rapids, Mich., president of the association.
One of the most important matters touched on in his address
was the present tendency on the part of the furniture manufacturer
to produce his own plywood. Mr. Perry said this disposition was
perplexing in view of the fact that labor is plentiful and the need
for maintaining his skeleton organization is important. "It is your
president's firm view," he said, "that a well operated plywood
plant can produce plywoods at a profit and sell them at what it
would cost the furniture factory to make them." He then quoted
the expert opinion of W. H. Coye, cost consultant of the Allied
Furniture Trades, to the effect that a manufacturer of furniture is
justified in making his own plywoods only if his requirements are
large enough to operate a complete department full time, and then
only if using a large variety of plywoods.
Text of Mr. Perry's Address
In full, the text of Mr. Perry's address is as follows:
"Roger W. Babson has aptly said that business is convalescent.
In other words, the symptoms of disease have left the patient and
complete recovery is largely a matter of building up vitality and
vigor. The danger period is by no means over, but the stagnation
or death that occasionally occurs indicates a lack of reserve strength
to recover. The message is distinctly encouraging, but the period of
convalescence means tremendously hard work on the part of every-
one to restore each member company and our association to its
normal degree of health and strength. Neither a waiting policy,
nor a shut down, nor a campaign of radical price cutting will avail
much. All are extreme.
"There is not enough business to go around — there probably
is not half enough — but there is something for everyone who will
go after it in the right way. Large losses must be accepted on in-
ventories, and 'frozen merchandise stocks' must be turned into
money. Salesmanship is again necessary; economy must be prac-
ticed along both labor and material lines; salaries and wages must
follow the cost of living; production must become efficient.
"Whether or not there are too many or too large production
36

units in the plywood field is debatable, but there should be no hesi-
tancy in developing new uses, new applications and novel adapta-
tions of our product. Our trade promotion committee should give
this more careful attention.
"Brookmire is most hopeful in his September 12th Forecaster,
stating definitely that 'general business conditions in the United
States and Canada have definitely turned the corner and that we are
now entering into a new business cycle. In accordance with this
judgement of the present business situation, the arrows on the
Manufacturers and Business Compasses have been moved into the
first period of a new cycle. This changes the advice on the Busi-
ness Compass from 'plan for expansion* to 'increase stock ex-
pand." On the Manufacturers Compass the general policy is
changed from 'increase equipment' to 'accumulate low priced raw
materials.' These we believe are the general policies to be fol-
lowed by merchants and manufacturers respectively at the present
time.*
Perplexed by Furniture Men
"We are naturally perplexed by the disposition on the part of
the Furniture Manufacturer to produce his own plywood at a time
when labor is plentiful and the need for maintaining his skeleton
organization is important. It is your president's firm conviction
that when costs are fairly figured and overheads are properly dis-
tributed, that a well operated plywood plant can produce plywoods
at a profit and sell them at what it would cost the furniture factory
to make them.
"W. H. Coye, cost consultant of the .Allied Furniture Trades, has
made the following statement: —
'Generally speaking, no factory making a standard line of fur-
niture using plywoods with plain face veneers would be justified in
producing them unless their requirements are large enough to
operate a complete department full time, and then only if using a
large variety of plywoods. It is a mistaken idea that plywood can
be produced for less money in a furniture factory than by those who
specialize in its production, as those who specialize have the advan-
tage of quantity buying and an organization developed and special-
ized to a point impossible where the production is limited. Then
again, the preparation of the core stock in the dry kilns and
factory, as well as the labor required on the built-up stock after it is
glued, will interfere with and slow up production of furniture and
by so doing reduce output and turnover of investment.
'When the product of a factory calls for figured veneer, care-
fully matched, such stock cannot be produced in a specialized
veneer plant more advantageously, owing to the limited quantities
required of one kind. In cases of this kind, we recommend that ply-
woods be made in the factory requiring same.
'The character of the material required should be the con-
trolling factor in deciding as to the installation, as without ques-
tion, the factory with the greatest turnover of investment has the
best opportunity for success.*
Essential Points to Follow
"The best way to remedy the situation, and to fill our plants with
orders, is a perplexing conundrum. Some few points, however, are
not difficult to foresee, and our members ought to utilize them in
their endeavors to obtain orders.
"I. Quality will continue to sell goods in the future as it has in
the past. The product with a reputation for quality need not meet
price competition.
"2. Neighborliness will continue to be a factor in business. In
other words, nearness makes a logical market for each manufactur-
ing unit, where freight rates will be low, and service can be effi-
cient, prompt and comprehensive.
"3. Association Co-operation can be made a stronger force in
the future than it has been in the past, not along the forbidden
line of price agreements, but emphasizing high ideals of quality;
establishing standard grades; developing trade ethics; seeking to
preserve free and open markets for the raw materials we require;
esteiblishing definite and standard cost principles; helping to fight
our common battle for better freight rates on our raw materials and
on our finished products. There never was a time when association
co-operation was more necessary, nor when the temptation to slip
away from it more insidious.
"The cost of maintaining our association is just as tryly a part
of each inember's overhead as is the maintenance of our individual
organizations, and the members must realize that the association's
financial problems are not inconsiderable. We must conserve what
funds we have, economize on expenditures for the future, and de-
vise ways and means to supplement our income.
"The solidarity of our membership in the past has been most
unusual, and it is rarely that any association has come to so strong
a position in so short a period of time.
"According to our Friend Commissioner, the critical time in as-
sociation life comes at about three years, and we must watch, as a
parent does a growing child, to carry our association through a
period that is normally difficult, but is abnormally so under existing
conditions.
"Your president has appreciated the splendid support you have
given in the past, and bespeaks the same for the future."
Decreased Plywood Movement
In the course of his report Commissioner Wulpi presented a
chart indicating the movement of plywood for the past two and one-
half years. While for 1920 the average business per quarter year
was 3 7 per cent greater per plant than for 1919, the two quarters
of 1921 averaged but 19 per cent per plant of the business for the
same two quarters in 1920, indicating the extent the line had
slumped through the condition in the furniture and building trades.
A. S. Williams, chairman of the advertising committee of the
Mahogany Association, appeared before the meeting and explained
his association's efforts in mahogany promotion. He heartily
approved the efforts of the plywood association to advertise the
virtues of plywood and pledged the co-operation of his association.
Similar advice was received from the American Walnut Manufac-
turers' Association.
L. H. Sergent. chairman of the Standard Grading Rules Commit-
tee, reported that while application of the standard rules was being
extended, under present conditions not much effort was being made
to further develop them.
A report w^as made by the Glue Committee to clarify the litiga-
tion being conducted by the Perkins Glue Company against alleged
violators of Perkins patents.
The Batesville Lumber & V^eneer Company was elected to mem-
bership.
.A resolution was adopted opposing the proposed import tax on
tropical hardwoods and urging retention on the free list.
The proposed soldiers' cash bonus legislation was opposed and aid
to disabled soldiers endorsed.
The association adjourned to meet in Chicago in conjunction with
the meeting of the National Veneer & Panel associaton in De-
cember.
Veneer Consolidation Announced
The Veneer Manufacturers Comany of Chicago announces the
consolidation of its business with that of H. F. Arneman, formerly
located at I 622 Monadnock building, Chicago. By this merger Mr.
Arneman becomes an officer of the Veneer Manufacturers Com-
pany and will be actively interested with Henry P. Walsh, S. J.
Glanton and Samuel D. Rowe in the management. In addition
to the company's splendid line of figured and plain veneer a large,
well selected stock of plywood panels will be carried in the Chicago
warehouse for immediate shipment. The advent of Mr. Arneman
brings to the company a wealth of experience in the veneer and
plywood business which will be of inestimable value to its trade.

Casein Glues Originated with the Romans
"The use of casein as a basis for glue originated in the Roman
Empire many centuries ago, and continued to a greater or lesser
degree in European countries to the present day, " Lawrence Ot-
tinger, a representative of the Casein Manufacturing Company,
makers of "Casco" waterproof glue, told the Trunk & Bag Man-
ufacturers Association at a meeting at the Hotel La Salle in Chi-
cago, September 20. "Many veneered products made with casein
glue and dating back centuries, are intact today. An interesting
collection of data of this kind is now compiled and will be shortly
published by the Plywood Manufacturers Association in connection
with its publicity campaign. But the modern casein glues are
infinitely superior and are the result of years of scientific research."
Discussing the waterproof qualities of casein glue Mr. Ottinger
said: "A glue must be elastic, otherwise it would be a cement.
in order to glue two or more pieces of wood together and then
soak or boil them without separation, it is necessary that the glue
soften under the water, so as to expand and contract with the
veneer?, yet retaining sufficient strength to hold them together.
If this were not the case, the wood would pull itself apart, just
leaving the fibre, which is the result if wood is put together w^ith
Portland cement. Thus when we say a glue is waterproof we mean
that it is insoluble, that is. that it will not dissolve, yet will soften
under water, and it will hold together all constructions of a nature
such that the co-efJicient of the expansion of the veneers is no
greater than the strength of the glue in its soaked condition. Thus
a 3/16" panel made up of three plies of 1/16" veneer will stand
soaking indefinitely, whereas a %" panel made of the same wood
and the same glue will separate if boiled or immersed for a sufficient
length of time. Again a hard veneer, such as birch, having a
greater expansive strength, will not hold under water for as long
a time as veneer of a softer woodj such as basswood or poplar."

'Manufncturinq Cost
OUR raw material is a big factor in
woodworking costs. With your lum-
ber and veneer it may have better texture and
uniform color saving in working and match-
ing. It may be better made and graded —
saving in milling and labor; it may be bet-
ter cured by superior air drying (in lumber),
or careful kiln drying with obvious saving.
That is exactly the service we are pleased
to offer you — a big organization built, through
thirty years' work, around the factory man's
needs. For instance, our twenty trained tim-

all the logs we cut; we have seven separate
plants, each built to cut only a certain prod-

lumber and veneer drying facilities are the
result of rigid tests and exhaustive study and
extensive enough for ANY demand. As a
result our lumber and veneer are recognized
for their cost-cutting qualities. Have you

Grand Rapids Will Reach Far West Via Canal
Gra/id Rapids furniture manufacturers have found a way of beat-
ing the excessive railroad freight rates and as a result will soon be
reaching the Pacific coast cities at a rate which will make it pos-
sible to do a business there largely in excess of what has been
possible during the last few^ years. Freight rates have heretofore
almost cut the Pacific coast off the furniture map so far as eastern
manufacturers are concerned and buyers from California and
Washington and Oregon have come here to see and to learn but
have been forced to buy sparingly because of the expense of getting
their orders out there.
With the last of September, however. Grand Rapids furniture
manufacturers w^ill make their initial shipments to Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Oakland, Seattle, Portland and on up into British
Columbia by way of Mobile and the Panama canal. The deal w^as
closed for this routing early this month and \vill represent an
economy in freight charges of almost 50 per cent. Meantime it
will take but from three to five days longer for shipments to reach
their destinations which is of course more than offset by the saving
in freight rates.
The all rail rates at this time are $4.20 per cwt. while the
Mobile-Panama rate is but $2.2 7. While it is expected the rail
rates will be reduced to $3.78 in the near future, it is still so high
that the Mobile-Panama rate will be a great advantage. Under
most favorable conditions the all rail shipment is from I 6 to 18 days
from Grand Rapids, while under the same conditions, shipments
via the Mobile-Panama route will go through in from 20 to 21 days.
The loadings will be in 30,000 pounds minimum lots, equivalent
to two to three cars. The first shipment which will go the last of
September will be of five or six cars. It is expected Grand Rapids
will be shipping by this route from 50 to 60 cars a month, straight
through the year.

WHAT does it mean to you as a buyer to
have implicit confidence in the source of
your most important raw material supply?
For instance, all informed buyers recognize
the true superiority of northern grown hard-
wood lumber and veneers— the product in
which we specialize. Big customers stay on
our books for years because it is easy for
them to determine that we never have cut
anything but the genuine northern grown logs
in oak, walnut, maple, ash and other major
species. The same sincerity maintains with
our rotary cut poplar offering. And withal is
that correctness of manufacture and honesty
of contact with customers that has been the
bulwark of this business for over a half
century. It will profit you to know us better.

THE PAST AND PRESENT IN MAHOGANY
Furniture Business Slowly Improving
Business conditions are slowly improving at the Shelbyville furni-
ture factories. Such is the consensus of opinion of manufacturers.
Many are of the opinion, however, that it will be some time before
conditions return to a normal level. As one manufacturer stated, it
is necessary to make big inducements to gain business at the present
time. Business at the Davis-Birely Table Company is very good,
but in the last iew w^eeks has remained about the same. The D. L.
Conrey Furniture Company notices that business is very good and
picking up each day. The Hodell Furniture Company observes that
business remains about the same. However, during the month of
July they received a large number of orders which will keep them
running at full force and hours for some months to come.
"A little improvement" is noted at the Shelbyville Wardrobe
Company. This change for the better has occurred in the last few
weeks, they state. Conrey-Davis notices very little change in con-
ditions. What little change has occurred has been for the better,
they state. The C. H. Campbell Furniture Company also notices
that there has been but little change in the last few weeks. Dan-
ziger Furniture Company is of the opinion that business at its plant
"remains the same." The same statement was given by the Tindall-
Wagner Manufacturing Company. Business remains the same at
the Shelbyville Desk Company, the Spiegel Furniture Company,
and the Spiegel Cabinet Company. A number of men have been
employed at the factories during the past few w^eeks as business is
slowly improving. Manufacturers state they have added more men
to their plants than are needed for the orders they now have on
hand, but state they have employed them to make up shipments of
furniture in the belief that business will show a decided upward
trend within the next few months.

What Is Real Walnut Furniture?
According to a bulletin recently issued to furniture manufac-
turers, retailers of furniture and the ultimate consumer, by the
American Walnut Manufacturers' Association, real walnut furni-
ture is the following:
One might answer the question easily and for that matter, cor-
rectly, by saying that it is furniture made of walnut. This
should be the answer, but unfortunately, at the present time in
the trade we find the name Walnut used to designate a variety
of kinds of furniture, some of which have no walnut in them
vifhatever.
In the furniture industry we have designated as Walnut every-
thing from absolutely solid, all walnut pieces, down to furniture
made entirely of some substitute wood stained a walnut brown.
Usually, the latter class is designated as "walniit finish," but
we have known of cases in which a purchaser bought it think
ing that it was made of walnut wood-
The following is a classification of the kinds of furniture that
may be sold as American Walnut and bought as American Wal-
nut without deceit on the part of the seller or regret on the part
of the buyer:
1. SOLID WALNU r. This is a piece made entirely of walnut
lumber, inside and out, in which no panels or veneered ply-
wood is used. There is relatively a small amount of such furni-
lure manufactured, and it is usually hand work, produced on
special orders.
2. ALL WALNUT. This is furniture such as dressers and side-
boards and tables, in which all the wood employed is w^alnut
except that on table tops, drawer fronts and sides there may be
walnut face veneer panels. This construction is really as de-
sirable as solid walnut, and in many ways superior, and is the
one most commonly used in genuine walnut furniture.
3. STANDARD WALNUT. In this furniture all the surfaces
and exposed parts, including all the solid pieces, such as rails,
legs, and other exposed parts of the framework, are of genuine
solid walnut. The larger surfaces may be of walnut face veneer
panels as described above. The backs and interior parts may be
of some other w^ood.
The following kinds of furniture cannot truthfully be sold as
walnut, and in practically every furniture store in the United
States will be found furniture that comes under this classification:
I. — Furniture finished in walnut brown, and having walnut face
panels on the larger surfaces and perhaps a small amount of solid
w^ood pieces in conspicuous places, but the solid w^ood being princi-
pally some other kind.
2. Furniture having only walnut face panels on the larger sur-
laces, with the entire construction of some other wood. In this
classification falls a very large amount of the medium priced fur-
niture that is today sold as American Walnut. By weight or
volume such furniture is less than one per cent walnut, and should
not be so designated.
3. — Furniture made entirely of some other wood, including the
face panels, but finished in a walnut brown. This is the cheap-
est of the different types of so-called walnut furniture to be found
on the market, and the name walnut should not be used in con-
nection with it in any way, as such use cannot help but be
misleading.
Showers Discharges Women for Veterans
All women employes of the Showers Bros. Furniture Manufactur-
ing Company at Bloomington, Ind., with the exception of the office
force, are to be discharged immediately, it was announced a few
days ago and former service men who have dependents will be
given their places. The step was taken to help relieve the unem-
ployment situation in Bloomington. About 100 women are affected.
The Showers plant is one of the largest furniture manufacturing
plants in the United States.
Inventor of Pillar Table Dies
George A. Brown, 58 years old, superintendent of the Speigel
Furniture Company at Shelbyville, Ind., died a few days ago at his
home in that city. His death was due to apoplexy. Mr. Brown was
engaged in furniture manufacturing business most of his life.
He was the inventor of the Pillar table. He was a native of Michi-
gan and was a Mason of long standing. He is survived by his wife
and two daughters.
Otto Schulz, president of the M. Schulz Piano Company, 71 I Mil-
waukee Avenue, Chicago, has returned with his family from a two
months' tour of England, Belgium, Holland, France, Germany,
Switzerland and Bohemia.

Storm Damages Furniture Plant
During the most severe electrical, wind and rainstorm of the
summer at Shelbyville, Ind., recently, a large part of the roof of the
Conrey Davis Furniture factory was blown off, and the sprinkling
system in the plant was broken, flooding three floors before the
water could be turned off. The roof of a part of the building Wi\s
torn off and dropped in the yard. No one was injured. The dam-
age was estimated at S20,000 by Lee C. Davis, one of the owners of
the factory.
Furniture Plant to Make Auto Tops
A new line of machinery is to be installed in the plant of the
McClure Manufacturing Company in North Marion which was
recently leased by the Guttman-Rawley Furniture Manufacturing
Company, of Shirley, Ind. The furniture company will soon move
its plant to Marion, Ind. The company will make winter auto tops
in addition to manufacturing furniture.

The trade is pretty well scattered over the list of woods, but It has m.i

ment and many anxious to sell, both mill and yard men. I'rlces have
not be<n koIuk down as tliey recently did, and arc now a little more stable.
This is regarded as tinitc a hopeful feature, indicating that much surplus

the coucornH iu this vicinity report iuqtiiries eominiic freely from some
of the largest buyers in the country. Plenty of business is offered at tin-
buyers' prices, but mills are uot inelinod to aeeept price outs. There is
a good stiff d»**imud for the higher grades of hardwoods from the interior
trim and sash and door people and it is quite evideut there is a consider-
able shortage of KAS grades which is being felt keenly. The spread ul

very little FAS oak being offered at any price. Conditions In general

The general fe+'liiig with regard to conditions iu llu' hardvvooil trad''
outlnueH to improve, and a de<-ided gain in the volume of husiuess is
reported from practically all directions, liut these statements are also
coupled with the further claim that there has been no pronounced marking
up of the quotations so far. The prospects, however, are regarded as en-
couraging. It is contended that if the distribution continues to e.xpaud an
advanct? In prices can scarcely be avoided, since the production is still
very much curtailed, with many of the mills shut down and with others
running more or less below capat-ity. Hardwood men of long e.xperienre
admit that the re<'overy will not be rapid, but they see a fairly steady
increase ahead, with the basic conditions for the most part eminently
safe. Members of the trade do not hesitate to express confidence in tht-
hrmnese of the market, and say they are ready to engage iu new undi-i
takings on the prevailing basis. Furniture factories are augmenting their
wants in Uxe way of hardwood slocks, an<l various other woodworking estab
lishraents have bigger needs to tak*- care of. Such men as Harvey M.
IdckRon, secretary <>f the National lAindier Exporters' Association, ar«-
fairly optimistic as to tin- results of the next few mouths, and say ex-
porters have nothing to fear so far as the better grades of American hard
woods are concerned. They add that some of the prices quoted today by
exporters will be considered extremely low within a relatively short time,
since the stocks are most depleted iu some items and very liberal re))larr
luents will be necessary to nieet the wants of consumers.

pust two weeks ha« been the activity ilisplajeil by the wood consnmio!;
inUuatrlis, priijcipnlly among them beint; the furniture factories. With
the furniture plants the big demand is for walnut veneers. Automobile
concerns and the railroads are buying bettor than a month ago. The
demand for hardwoods, which has increased consideral)ly, is for no prin-
cipal items, but a general sprlnlillng of all stocks. WTiile the number of
sales are not largo the aggregate represents a good volume of business,
when conditions in general arc taken into consideration. Mills are not
making the concessions they were several weeks ago. The building trades
is rapidly rounding into shape and the hardwood distributor stiil ha.-^
hopes that this Industry will prove his l)est bet before the end of 1021
Reports calculated at the Building Commissioner's office show an increase
in the number of permits for dwelling and apartment houses, but the effect
of this improvement has not as yet hit the lumber industry. There is a
steady, though not large, absorption of interior finish, flooring and the
like, but not enough to reduce stocks to the vanishing point. Sorae yards
are taking additional quantities of fiooring, but the whole movement is of
a hand-to-mouth character, so that wholesalers are still having more or
less difficulty in placing material that is finding its way into this market
from the mills. Upper grades of hardwood still command the lead in the
trade, while some difficulty Is still being experienced in moving lowers.
Most dealers say that freight rates are responsible for this condition. The
market is on a much better plane with the ridiculously low prices heanl
several months ago, a thing of the past.
CLEVELAND
While there are plenty of signs which show the way the wind is blowiu;;
in business generally, there is nothing blowing in the direction of the
hardwood distributor that makes him over optimistic at this time. Building
operations for the last month are 25 per cent better than for the same
period a year ago, and so far this year there is a 12 per cent gain in this
direction over the same period in 1920. This means more interior finish
and other liardwoods are being taken, and as far as this goes the move has
served to strengthen the situation somewhat in this market. On the other
hand the manufacturing trades — furniture, cabinet work, and particularly
the automobile and truck trades, have failed to respond. The motor inter-
ests point out that their active season is over for this year, and they are
not disposed to look too far ahead ; in other words, are marking time more
or less in their 1022 production plans. The demands from this source
are better, but not as good by any means as was expected. An average
production of 35 per cent of normal in all manufacturing lines may be
taken as the reason. The result is that locally stocks are fairly well main-
tained, and there is little replenishment on the part of retail interests here.
The best that can be said for the situation at the moment is that more oak
and maple are being taken for flooring purposes.
INDIANAPOLIS
Both retail yard demand and industrial demand slu'W some improvi'-
ment over two weeks ago. Trices are firm and with a rontinued demand
the trade here believes there will he some upward revi.^ion of prices in
some grades. During the past week there has been nmrp activity shown
in the furniture factories than for some time. Some of the activity is
because of direct orders, while some is caused in making up stork in antici-
pating orders. There can be no doubt of the fact that the pnnoral situa
tion is improved. The box manufacturers here report some orders and
many inquiries, while the talking machine cabinet manufacturers say they
are getting more business than for some time. Most of the industrial--.
while not getting phenomenal orders, declare the orders are steady and are
such as enable them to figure more accurately on the required production.
The retail trade is the best this fall it has been for years. The l>i.ir
demand on the retail trade is for flooring, interior finish and sash and
doors. Automobile body manufacturers here are busier than they were
two weeks ago, largely because of the nearness of the winter season ami
the big demand for closed cars.
EVANSVILLE
There has been some improvement in trade with the hardwood lumber
manufacturers of southern Indiana, southern Illinois and western and
northern Kentucky during the past two weeks and manufacturers are
feeling better over the trade outlook now than they have for some time
past. September has brought in ' more orders and inquiries than the
months of July and August. Collections are reported to be holding their
own very well. General trade conditions are better than they were a
month ago, and it is believed that there are fewer unemployed men than
there were at the beginning of the present .vear. WTiile many of the large
mills in the tri-state section have been closed much of the time during
the past six months, indications are that some of them will be aide to
resume operations within a short time. Lumber prices are holding very
firm. There is not as much low grade luml)er on the market now, and in
fact the market has become more stabilized during the last two or three
months. Logs arc coming in fairly well, although the prices are hisb
September 25, 1921
HARDWOOD RECORD

A good many logs arc being gotten out along Green and Barren rivers in
western Kentucky, and these will be rafted to the EvansvUle mills. I-um-
bermen say that the next two or three months ought to witness a marked
improvement In their business, although they are not looking for anytliins
like a boom this year. The furniture factories, as well as the other wood
consuming plants here and those at Owensboro, Ky., Jasper, Ind., and
other towns in this section are being operated on part time, although a
tew of the large plants in IJ\'ansvllle are running as high as fifty and
tifty-fonr hours a week. Tilings are looking better, especially with tlic
furniture manufacturers, and tliey express the belief that the recent fur
iiiture market held here had the effect of stimulating trade to a ccrtniTi
oxtent. Box manufacturers have been fairly busy. Sash and door maiiu
I'acturers say the future is brighter than it has been tor some time past.
riow manufacturers believe that their fall business will show sonn' Im
lirovement. Carriage numufacturers also are looking upon the briglit sid.-
'■! the trade picture.
LOUISVILLE
The hardwood trade is coming l)ack Into its owu, and local Uimbciincn
arc very well satisfied. Inquiries have been brisk and orders very satis
factory, it being felt that late fall business will be good, and that things
will be more active in the spring. Car supply will have some effect on
volume this fall it is felt. The furniture trade is busier than it has been.
and the veneer and panel trade is more active. Wagon and automobile as
well as Implement concerns are a little busier as a result of better agricul-
tural conditions. It is reported that present business is better than at any
previous time in a period of six months.
Oak is moving better and poplar is in fair demand. Ash is showing
renewed activity and gum is selling well in red, but quiet in sap. Walnut
has been good all season and there is a fair demand for mahogany. Then-
is a demand for quartered oak, but practically no good stock to be ha<l
Just now, resulting in quartered oak of 4-4 thickness being quoted at ,$130
a thousand. Quartered red gum is quoted at $100 for inch FAS and plain
red gum at $90. Common quartered red is $55 and sap gum $45 for FAS
and $26 for common. Poplar FA'S is $95 and sap $75, with common at
S40. No. 1 common quartered oak is quoted at $60 ; FAS, plain red oak.
.S93. and white oak at $95.
ST. LOUIS
The market has picked up during the past two weeks, due to specubi
tive buying. Oak has been very much in demand and No. 1 common is
the strongest grade of wood on the market.
Yellow cypress is still very weak and some lumbermen look for it to go
--till lower.
There has not been much factory buying.
One lumberman would not speculate as to whether the demand would
continue, saying he had guessed wrong for about two years, and the only
thing he cared to say was that things were better right now.
BEAUMONT
There is no hardwood market in this section to speak of. neitlier i>
there a movement to spenk of. There are practically no changes ti' !>•.'
noted, the few sales indicating anything but a market.
The production still continues the lowest in history, with no immciliat*-
prospects for an increase. Mills are fearful of putting stocks on their
yards, for they are now experiencing some rather heavy losses by reason
of the fact that they must get rid of some stuff to keep it from deteriorating
into an unsalable condition.
So far as the general feeling is concerned, it has been in the pn-si-nt
state so long that the manufacturers have become to consider it in the liiiht
■ tf normal. They are certain it can got no worse on account of their plant--
being closed down, tlicmlore nothing but improvement can be expected
in the future.
TORONTO
There is an improved undertone in some sections of the lumber trad*',
including hardwood, which has caused a slight brightening up in tb.'
wneral situation. Hardwood wbolesalers, who have been experiencins;
extreme inactivity for some weeks past, are beginning to see daylight again,
although business is still far from normal. lAindier prices have of lali'
receded to such an extent that production of the new cut was reduced t<<
a minimum. Practically ail the Uiniber that is now being offered for sale
liy the whidesale firms is of the olil cut. and no important sales of new
lumber have been reported by the producers, although inquiries indicatr
some measure of returning business. Consuming manufacturers at presciil
are faced with the necessity of replenishing their stocks and buying. tM..
is picking up. Buyers have been holding off because of the possibility of

gettiujk' lower pricHh, Some of the wholesale interests feel that the mar-
ket would l»e niufh more healthy if prices were raised a notch or two.
It is pointed out that stocks in tlie hantls of the wholesalers and manu-
facturers are much below normal and a brief spell of active buying would
be suffici'-nt to create something akin to famine con<litioiis. There is some
mystery about the extent to which hardwood operators will cut during the
coming season. Reports have been almost unanimous that little or no
cutting would be done by the various lumber compaiii^'s. That would
indicate that present prices an* nut attractive enough to tempt the pro-
ducers to risk an active season's operations in tlie lumber camps. The
slocks tliiit are actuiilly taken out will be manufacturi-il intii lumber at a
much lower cost than last year. Riulical wage cuts have been announced
as scheduled for the coming season and it is a foregone conclusion that
many fewer men will go into the lumber camps.
NEW ORLEANS
The recent rise in lh(? price of cotton had a stimulating pflfecL on busi-
ness to a certain extent, but with a considerably larger number of
inquiries and a few more sales due to this little flurry and the seasonal
changes for the better, there is not much improvement to tlirnnide in the
New Orleans hardwood market.
Troductiou is still far below norma!, it being estimated that in the
extreme South dnd Southwest the amount probably does not exceed 25
per cent of normal. A gradual change on this score has been noticeable
for the past two or three weeks. No further closing down has occurred
for a month or two, while, on the other hand, the hardwood plants
throughout the belt seemingly are slowly but steadily swinging back into
action.
Stock on hand at the mills seems to be plentiful for the present demand.
Hut the attitude of the Southern and Southwestern manufacturers seem;-
to be that they should begin to turn out more stuff wherever practicable
to meet subsequent demands, to which they look forward with substan-
tially-based anticipation for the near future. Of the better grades, the
over-stock is not so pronounced, for there has l>een more or less steady
movement of the upper grades of hardwood lumber. But of the lower
grades there is a very pronounced surfeit. In many quarters, it is esti-
mated that stock of the lower grades on hand at the mills run-^ as high
as 200 per cent of normal.
MILWAUKEE
In the last two or three weeks a change for the better ha> tome about
in the northern hardwood industry, which is intluencing some important
changes in the plans which many concerns had formulated in July and
August to suspend production for an indefinite period because of the slow
movement and heavy accumulation of stocks at mills and shipping points.
The abandonment of logging operations this winter by a considerable num-
ber of interests in Northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan likewise is said
to be affected favorably by the recent developments.
The demand for lumber of all kinds has becu more active in the past
few weeks than during most of the year, and a much better feeling pre-
vails now than in the first half. Around .Tuly 1 the northern industry was
quite sharply committed to a policy of discontinuing production in woods
and mills because of the large surplus and lack of volume in demands, but
there has now come a reaction which is believed likely to change plans for
the winter considerably. It will, however, be October 1 before a final
decision is nuide by most of the important operators.
Industrial demand for hardwoods, while continuing on a band-to-mouth
basis, has increased somewhat, due to better conditions in the furniture.
cabinet and interior woodwork fiehls. Prospects are that the improve-
ment will W greatly accentuated during the winter, with a relatively heavy
demand 4*arly in tlie spring of 1922. It is with this better demand in view
that production plans probably will be chaugi'd. for presi-nt stocks, while
large, would not last long if a real call for lumber is experienced in the
next four or five months.
In the north, a good many mills have completed the season's run and
are closing down for general overhauling and to await more delinite infor-
mation concerning future requirements upon which resumption will
depend.
Tlie genera! feeling throughout the industry in the North is said to be
distinctly betterj although there is mucli room for improvement..
ENGLISH
rhurchill vK; Sim, of London, have the following to say in their September
review of I'nited Kingdom trade in American hardwoods:
The improvement in market conditions noted last mouth has be*'U main-
tained, and a moderate amount of forward business has taken place. The
chief demand has been for oak, more particuhirly for prime grade, the
value of which has appreciated, but for medium grade shippers have in
some cases accepted lower rates. More interest was also shown for prime
whitewood. It is anticipated that when the holiday season i.-; over a
w ider development in trade should be possilde.

WHAT about your future hard-
woods? It is obviously no time
to preach "lumber shortage"
and we have no such purpose. But
it is true that practically no lumber is
being made and present shipments
are slowly, but surely, wearing down
stocks. It is only a question of time
when there will be nothing left but a
broken lot of low grade for there is no
physical possibility of measurably
increasing production for many
months.
Now comes the easing of the cotton
situation — releasing the money with
which to carry present mill stocks.
Our judgment is by no means in-
fallible, but doesn't it look to you as
though these circumstances would
make it a logical time to buy at least
a moderate stock? We have further
information that would be of vital in-
terest to any lumber buyer who will
address us.

Review and Outlook
General Market Conditions
REGARDLESS OF WHAT MAY BE THE OPINION of any one
man or any group of men regarding the state of the market
for hardwood lumber, the fact remains that those who have made
a life work of producing and marketing products of the hardwood
forests have endured a period of four or five months, when their
order books were practically untouched b.v entries, and that during
the past few weeks those same pages have become covered with a
sufBcient number of orders of sufficiently good size to have given
them more or less the appearance of old days. Further it is sig-
nificant that many of the people who have accepted a substantial
number of such orders are those who consistently turned down
unattractive Inisiness during the past four or five months, being
in position to hold their stock for more sane realization. Stated
with actualities rather than with theory, it is not today necessary
1^ guess at how things are going because orders are there to be
tabulated and compared with similar records during the spring and
summer months. The comparison is obviously and encouragingly
favorable to the jiresent.
It is not a vacant statement and no unfounded optimism which
maintains that business in the hardwood belt is definitely improved
and to further state that improvement so far realized is unques-
tionably of a permanent nature and has already had its effect
upon market prices. The writer of this editorial saw an order
placed by maU and confirmed by wire at Memphis ten days before
this publication date, calling for two cars of common and selects
plain white oak to be delivered at an eastern consuming point on
a basis that would net forty-four dollars a thousand at Memphis.
This order is cited not because it is our intention here to cite going
prices, but because it was typical of a number of similar orders
actually seen during this same trip to Memphis.
Similarly on this same journey into that famous hardwood region,
the editor of Hardwood Kecord encountered or was told of the
visits of several buyers. According to the statements of Memphis
lumbermen, no such personages have visited their offices for the
past four or five months.
In the opinion of the editor the key to the future of the hard-
wood situation is not necessarily immediate inquiries or orders.
In fact, the analysis conducted on this same trip was concerned
more with production. Hardwood Becord has reiterated regularly
in its issues of the past four or five months the dangerous trend
of production, so far as consumers' interest is concerned, and on
this trip the editor was able to verify previous statements by the
definite facts he encountered throughout the southern producing
region in particular, and in a slightly less marked degree through-
out the northern region. It is a fact discernible by a very casual
observation that there can not be more than from ten to fifteen
per cent of the usual hardwood production now in operation. This
is in the face of the fact that the southern logging season has but
four two six weeks to run and that those crews which are not in
the woods within the next two weeks will not go into the woods
until late next spring or next summer. In the meantime, the
demand is slowly but surely increasing and already stocks have
reached a point where a number of mills have very little of any-
thing to offer, even in low grade. Of course there is a large stock
of low grade on hand throughout the territory, but it is doubtful
if this amount is at all in excess of what is normally carried. It
is more pronounced because of the scarcity of the upper grades in
comparison with the lower grades on hand.
The whole situation resolves itself into a concrete expression of
what the judgment of the buyer has determined. Within recent
weeks a number of buyers have distinctly come into the market for
as much lumber as they could carry. Unquestionably others are
anxious to buy if they can finance the purchase. Hardwood
Record's advice to buyers is that the figures presented today by
hardwood lumbermen leave no question as to the outcome. Official
compilation reveals that red oak logs are today realizing for the
producers about $23.50 as against about $21..50 eight years ago.
It is common knowledge that freight rates have made that differ-
ence up several times over and in fact the increase in taxes has
practically absorbed the entire increase. This is not a hazarded
figure but is one which will be published in official form in due time.
Hardwood Record's advice, therefore, is that a wise business
policy certainly dictates the purchase of hardwood lumber today,
first, because it can still be procured, and, secondly, because the
trend of prices must be upward. This opinion disregards any tem-
porarily fluctuations thiit may come in in the meantime. The long
pull towards general business improvement is well on. The trend
will be for advanced lumber prices just as sure as the rising and
setting of the sun.

It's Ledger Cleaning Time
THE ABOVE IS THE HEADING OF A MESSAGE addressed
by J. W. McChire, president of the National Wliolosalo Lum-
ber Dealers' Association, to its membership, in which, while Mr.
McClure makes a very logical plea for increased su])port of the
association, he enunciates the fact which is so obviously a principle
of good business that it deserves the attention of every man in
the industry.
Among other things, Mr. McClure says:
"Has the storm left any wreckage on your ledger? The asso-
ciation will help you to salvage the debris. Are there some weak
ones or slow ones drifting towards the rocks? Let the association
save your interest in the cargo before it is too late. Do you really
KNOW how the names in your ledger have pulled through? Per-
haps some of the smaller ones are safe and strong while some of
the big ones may have had poor pilots. New and up-to-date reports
from the association will tell the true story. Clean up your ledger
NOW and prepare for the coming of 1922, which promises to bring
fair weather and good business."
Probably at no time in the business history of the country have
there been so radical and so many changes in the personnel and
standing of the myriads of corporations in existence today. It was
a long reach from the depths to the peak and from the peak to the
depths. These violent reactions reversed the financial status of
many a business institution. It is not safe to approach the period
of prosperity and make plans for the less disheartening future
without having positive knowledge of the exact status of the
ledger. Every effort should be made to wipe the books clean and,
if this can not be consummated, to at least find out precisely where
one stands.
Our Foreign Trade Bases Are Sound
"pRESENT CONDITIONS ARE ABNORMAL and, when they
1 have passed, American exporters will be found prosecuting
trade campaigns effectively in all the countries of the world," is
the statement made by Dr. Julius Klein, director of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the U. S., for the purpose of
reassuring the American business man who has been treated to
pessimistic reports about American foreign trade until he has
begun to believe that the country's foreign commerce is virtually
dead. Dr. Klein says that "transient manifestations are mistaken
for evidences of lasting injury to our foreign trade" and what is
needed is a discriminating appraisal of facts — the ability to disre-
gard superficial appearances and penetrate to the real underlying
bases of the situation."
Dr. Klein is convinced that those bases of our oversea commerce
are sound and substantial. He believes that the tendency toward
unwarranted depression may be attributed largely to "the thou-
sands of opportunistic adventurers who appeared on all sides during
the war boom and drifted into foreign trade as just one more field
for chance enterprise." Such men, hastening to take advantage
of the disorganization that attended the war, entered foreign mar-
kets with no object save that of immediate and excessive profits.
Many of them were devoid of foresight, taking slight pains to build
for the future or to establish secure relations with foreign buyers.
As an inevitable consequence of the post-war reaction, business of
this adventitious character has been very severely affected.
But, Dr. Klein insists, this fact should by no means be taken as
indicating any inherent weakness in American foreign-trade ambi-
tions, and should not occasion any slackening in our efforts to
develop and maintain a great volume of sales to the markets
overseas.
The fear of German competition appears to be one of the dom-
inating influences in^the minds of persons who have been voicing
apprehensions of disaster. They have visions of German merchan-
dise flooding foreign markets and being eagerly welcomed at
prices with which American manufacturers, with their high pro-
duction costs and appreciated currency, will not be .able to compete.
But Government experts who have investigated this troublesome
problem in all its phases consider the Geruian commercial
"menace" as a specter whose capacity for harm has been dis-
tinctly exaggerated. Dr. Klein emphasizes the fact that it takes
more than price cutting to win and hold an export market per-
manently. Quality, delivery terms, and credit arrangements are
three vitally important factors, and these must be taken into
account in analyzing vague reports concerning German success. A
marked deterioration in German goods is reported by foreign rep-
resentatives of the Department of Commerce. Tens of thousands
of Germany's skilled artisans were killed or incapacitated in the
war. Some of the German industries have been experiencing
serious shortages of raw materials; and in this connection it is
worthy of note that the German necessity of purchasing foreign raw
materials for certain industries tends to offset the supposed advan-
tage of the depreciated mark exchange, when the resulting manu-
factured goods are offered in foreign markets. It should be borne
in mind, moreover, that American exporters are incomparably better
prepared to meet German competition now than they were before
the war — having the benefit of seven years of practical experience '
and of success.
As examples of foreign markets where conditions are relativelj'
favorable for Americans to-day. Dr. Klein mentions Cuba, which
takes more than one-third of our exports to Latin America, and
China, where "trade continues to flourish." The Far East, he
says, presents a more hopeful picture of reviving trade prospects
than other oversea markets.
Considering all the circumstances surrounding foreign-trade
prospects, officials of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com-
merce believe that a note of reassurance and encouragement should
be sounded. The elements prerequisite to a permanent, substantial
trade are the exercise of care and judgment, a determination to
please the foreign oustomer, and the possession of such recent,
authoritative data as it is the purpose of the Bureau to supply.

On August 15 the Rovciuie Bill as prepared by the Ways ami
Means Committee was introduced into Congress. It was passed
by the House with amendments on Auust 20. During the recess
of Congress from August 24 to September 21 the Finance Com-
mittee considered the Bill as it passed the House, and reported it
with amendments to the Senate on September 21.
The Senate Committee completely rewrote the House bill using,
however, most of its provisions. A number of changes from the
House bill and from the present law have been made in the Senate
bill. Some of these are of peculiar interest to taxpayers in the
lumber industry.
General Provisions
The (donate Committee has agreed to the reduction in surtaxes
on individual incomes substantially the same as provided in the
bill as it passed the House. Slight change has been made by
reducing the rate of surtaxes on the lower incomes. The excess
profits tax is repealed effective January 1, 1922. This follows the
action of the House of Representatives in postponing the effective
date of excess profits tax repeal for one year.
The capital stock tax would be repealed effective as of the date
of passage of the act.
All transportation taxes are repealed effective January 1, 192.'i.
Effective January 1, 1922, and for one year thereafter the trans-
portation taxes would be reduced by 50 per cent, namely, on
freight from 3 per cent to IVi per cent; on passenger fares from
8 to 4 per cent; on pullman fares 8 per cent to 4 per cent.
Most of the miscellaneous stamp and excise taxes, state taxes,
etc., are continued in force although amended in some particulars.
Important Administrative Changes
The Senate Committee bill includes the provision of the House
bill providing for the definite determination of tax liability by
means of written agreement entered into between the taxpayer
and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue; but the Senate bill
provides that the decision of the Commissioner on the merits of
any claim involving the tax liability of any taxpayer, shall not be
subject to review by any administrative official unless it be shown
that there has been fraud or error in calculation.
The Senate bill re-affirms the provision of the House bill that
Treasury decisions need not be applied retroactively unless the
Commissioner so elects. This is provided in order to avoid the
necessity for recalculation of past tax accounts whenever a
Treasury decision is rendered changing or amplifying previous
rulings.
The provisions of the House bill providing for a tax simplifica-
tion are included in the Senate bill. For ease in computation and
avoidance of confusion the allowable Liberty Bond interest
exemptions are enumerated and consolidated. This if enacted
will be a considerable convenience to many taxpayers.
Under the Senate bill claims for refund by taxpayer must, be
made within four years after the date of paj'ment of any tax,
penalty or sum against which he claims refund. In the present
law this period is limited to two years.
The Senate bill provides that no suit by the Government for
the collection of any tax shall be begun after the expiration of five
years from the time when the tax is claimed to have been due,
except in cases of fraud and mis-representation. Furthermore,
under the Senate bill all assessments of additional taxes would
have to be made within four years after such taxes are claimed
to have been due, except in cases of fraud.
In order to create a substantial inducement to the Treasury
Department to make refund to the taxpayer of taxes unlawfully
or incorrectly assessed and collecti^l, it is provided tli;it interest
shall be paid by the Government on the total amount of such
refunds or credits at the rate of 6 per cent a year on the following
bases:
Fir&t, if Ihe ta.xcs wt'vr paid hy the taxpayer imdor prot<'st, the interest
would run from the time the tax was paid ;
Second, if the amount was not paid under protest but pursuant to an
additional assessment levied by the Treasury Department, the interest
would run from the time the assessment was paid ;
Third, in rase no protest was made, and in ease the tax was not paid
because of an additional assessment levied by the Treasury Department.
the interest would run fruni a date six months after the taxpayer had
filed his claim for refund <>r credit.
Exchanges of Property
Timber owners and lumber manufacturers are directly inter-
ested in the provision in both the House and the Senate revenue
bills providing under certain circumstances that exchanges of
property shall not be considered to have given rise to taxable
income. The bill as it passed the House provides that exchanges
of property wherein the property received in exchange does not
have a "definite and readily realizable market value," sh.all not
be considered to have created taxable income, but the property
received in exchange shall be considered as having taken the place
of the property given in exchange.
The House bill provides that even if the property received in
exchange does have a definite and readily realizable market value,
no taxable income will be recognized if such property is held for
"investment or for productive use in trade or business."
The Senate bill has changed this provision by limiting the
general exemption under exchanges to exchanges for property which
has no "readily realizable market value," but eliminating the
word "definite." It appears also to limit the application of the
special provision by eliminating property held "for investment,"
but not held for "productive use in trade or Vjusiness" from the
benefits of this section. The Senate bill provision apparently would
cover all timberland exchanges by operating companies attempting
to block up their holdings, but might not so clearly apply to strictly
timber-holding companies.
Net Losses
The Senate bill as well as the House bill provides for the deduc-
tion in subsequent taxable years of net losses incurred during any
taxable year. Beginning with the year 1921 this net loss provision,
therefore, would apply to losses sustained during the taxable year
1921, but would not permit the taxpayer in reporting his taxes on
income received during 1921 to deduct losses incurred prior to
December 31, 1920. This would mean that those taxpayers who
have taken their losses during the year 1920 would not come under
the benefit of this provision, but that those having a net loss sus-
tained during 1921 may deduct the amount of the net loss from
what would otherwise be the taxable income for the years 1922
and 1923.
Distribution of Profits Aciiiiired Prior to March 1, 1913
The House bill makes tlie same provision covering the distribti-
tion by corporations to stockholders of earnings accumulated prior
to March 1, 1913, which has been in effect under the Federal
Revenue Law since 191G. This provision is in substance that after
the corporation has distributed all the earnings or profits accum-
ulated since February 1, 1913, the earnings or profits acquired prior
thereto may be distributed to the shareholders exempt from the tax.
In substance this means that the shareholders are entitled to receive
in distributions from a corporation, the same amount of accum-
ulated earnings in the form of earned surplus, which the corpora-
tion could have distributed to them, free of tax, immediately prioi
16
HARDWOOD RECORD
OctohiT 111. 1!)21
to tho time till' iiK-oiin' t:ix law went into effect, namely Man-li 1,
1913.
The Senate l)ill limits the anidunt uhicli can be thus ilistrilmteil,
tax free to the stoekholilers. This amount is limited not by the
amount of profits aecumulateil ])rior to tho time the law went into
effect (which is the provision of the present law), but to the cost to
the shareholder of his stock or sliares. In the case of stock acquired
prior to March 1, lOlli, this tax exempt distribution of eariiinys
accumulated prior to March 1, 1913, is limited by the valui' of tlie
stock on March 1, 1913, in case such value is greater than tlic cost
of the stock to the stockholder.
This provision constitutes a severe limitation upon the tax free
■listribution to stockholders of earned surplus accumulated before
tlie law went into effect. Where tho cost or the market value of
the stock, as stock, on March 1, 1913, is less than the paid in capital
and earned surplus on M.-irch 1, 1913, this provision in the Senate
bill would have substantially the effect of taxing the stockholders
not on income acquired since the law went into effect, but upon
property acquired \tr\OT to March 1, 1913.
On October 4 tho Senate Finance Committee agreed to a modifi-
cation in this provision as applied to the owners of stock of cor-
porations where their ownership dates back to a period prior to
the time the law went into effect, namely, March 1, 1913. In sub-
stance this modification provides that a taxpayer who held stock in
a corporation prior-to March 1, 1913, and has continued to hold it
since that time, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation
free of tax the same amount which the corporation could have dis-
tributed to him free of tax immediately prior to the time the law
went into effect, had the corporation then chosen to distribute to
the stockholders all of its earnings accumulated up to that time.
If, however, the stock has been acquired since March 1, 1913,
this last amendment by the Senate Finance Committee would limit
the amounts which may be distributed to the shareholders, free of
tax, to the cost of such stock acquired after March 1, 1913. This
moans in substance that owners of stock in corporations who acquire
the stock prior to March 1, 1913, and have held it continuously
since then will as individual taxpayers enjoy the exemption of
the full proportionate part of the earnings accumulated prior to
March 1, 1913, which their shares represent; but if they sell the
stock prior to the time these accumulated earnings are distributed,
the person who purchases the stock will lose this exemption, and
will be required to pay au income tax upon all receipts in excess of
the cost of the stock to him. The substantial effect of this in many
cases will 'be that the individual stockholder will be imable to sell
his stock acquired before March 1, 1913, at a price which fairly
approximates the value to him of the stock. This will be true
because of the fact that if he retains the stock himself, he would in
many instances enjoy a tax exemption which would be largely lost
to the purchaser, who acquired the stock after March 1, 1913.
This provision is of special interest to owners of stock in the
close corporations such as are characteristic of lumber and mining
companies organized before March 1, 1913; owning large amounts
of tangible assets and ordinarily accumulating a considerable
earned surplus before beginning to pay dividends.
Payment in Installments of Additional Assessments
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has issued an order re-
(|uiring taxpayers who included appreciation of capital assets in
their invested capital to tile amended returns covering the taxable
years 1917 to 1920 inclusive, and make on or before November 24,
full payment of such additional taxes as may be due on the basis
of such recalculation of invested capital.
On the understanding that strict compliance with this require-
ment would, in many instances, constitute a serious and undue
hardship to the taxpayer, the Senate Finance Committee bill pro-
vides that where it can be satisfactorily shown that undue hard-
ship would result, the Commissioner of Internal Bevenue may per- •
mit the taxpayer to distribute the payment of back taxes over a
period not to exceed eighteen months after the passage of the act.
In case of such deferment of pavments either in part or whole, the
amounts deferred would carry an interest rate of two-thirds of one
jiir cent a month. This comparatively high rate is probably im-
posed in iinlir to induce the taxpayer to make full payment of his
Ijack taxes at the earliest practicable time.
In general the Senate Finance Committee bill includes the main
provision of the Ways and Means Committee bill with, however,
a number of important modifications in the adininistrative provi-
sions as well as in the substantive provisions defining tax liability.
The Finance Committee after reporting the bill to the Senate gave
fioticc that it would later submit certain amendments thereto. A
minority report has been filed by members of the Finance Com-
mittee. There has been sharp discussion of certain features of the
Senate bill referred to in the above analysis, and it is not improb-
able that certain unequitable and discriminatory provisions herein
described may be eliminated or substantially modified.
The provisions of the Senate Finance Committee bill would
impose upon taxpayers in the lumber industry as a rule, a heavier
tax liability than would be imposed under the terms of the House
bill. Furthermore, it introduces new elements which in substance
discriminate against the typical lumber company, and against
stockholders in typically situated lumber corporations. It is to be
expected, however, that these provisions will either be altered by
the Senate itself or will be eliminated or amended by the Confer-
ence Committee of the Senate and House after the bill has passed
the Senate.
Lack of vigorous leadership in the Senate has thrown the revenue
legislation into confusion. There is now talk of adjournment on
November 10. In such an event it is not unlikely that the enact-
ment of a complete revenue measure will await the regular session
of Congress. In any event a militant Kepublican minority and the
Democratic Senators as a whole are obviously planning to make
such a fight on some of the provisions of the present bill as will
seriously imperil its prompt passage.

The annual mooting of tlio AssociMtiun nf Wood I'siii;; I ndustrios,

year of that organization's activitios.
Koports by the officors :inil c-liairnicn of tin- iMniiniit tecs sliowt'il
that tlie association is comprised of eigliteen dilTcront units, repre-
senting that many lines of industry fal>rieating forest products,
representing in all over (j,000 individual manufacturers.
In commenting upon the work of the organization K. K. Parson
age, president, made the following statcnionts;
A year a^o there was initiated the niovenieiit that had for its primary
object the nnilntion to serve the crying needs of the ot the Wood Usiny:
Industries of the country.
These men hoped to imt only brin? together the common prol)lems of
the various phases of the Wood T'sing Industries, but also to act as a
conmion center aiding and abi-iting a more clear and full understanding
bf'tweeu the wood producer and the wood ust'r.
Thrre was the thought in the minds of tin- initiators of this movement
that in the final analysis the al>usos and the wasteful methods of both
the sawmill and the wood using factories were largely attributed tn a lack
of understanding between the two phases of tho industry, antl ihe propiT
education and closer
personal contact would
mean for the future, not
only a standardization
of activities, but also
mean much in the way
of conserving the rapid-
ly disappearing sources
of wood supply.
We have come through
the past year, a period
of readjustment that
has been paralyzing in
its effect and unheard
of in the history of the
world's business. Yet,
with all handicaps, we
should feel proud that
the storms have been
weathered and that the
Association of Wood
Using Industries has
justitied its existence by
starting various activ-
ities that I hope in the
future will serve as a
basis for not only a
national reforestation
policy, but also legisla-
tion and a plan of co-
operation between the
producer and the consumer of w
pride in the years to come.
Very largel.v lliinn;;b 1 h<- i-lTcMis <.r your executives there has been
itiitiated at the Koiest Troducts Laboratory at Madison, Wis., a new bureau
liaving to do eiillrely with the education of the wood producer and the
wood user ahmg dimension stoek lines. Ccdonel Greeley, head of the
United States Forestry Department, and the officials of the Forest Products
Laboratory, are new highly appreciative of the benefits to be derived from
the wide use of dimension stock, and also the conservatiuu of our remain-
ing forests vitally affected by such wider use of dimension stock.
It has been fuir aim to so advise and help in the formation ot this bureau
that the widest and most practical benefits be available to the industries
at the earlii'st possible moment. The Forest Products Laboratory, a gov-
ernmental institution, ran logically carry on dimension stock educational
work without fear of bhis or prejudice as to the interest of the wood
producer or wood user.
Your executive board was largely instrumental in securing a substan-
tial increase in the appropriation for the current year for the Forest
Products Laboratory's activities.
I feel that, as far as the wood using industries are concerned, this
organization has justified its existen<-e by this constructive effort alone.
I recommend that a wider and more thorough knowledge of the possi-
liilities for service to individual industries by the Forest Products Labora-
tory be spread among the factory units in all the wood using industries.
IIel|)ful and construct-
ive information can be
obtained by any factory
that wishes specific help

Association Very Active
Your executives have held several ciinferences during the year ■with
representatives of the various hardwood lumber associations. A definite
move has been initiated, working towanl closer cooperation and a greater
utilization of forest products. The lumber people are receptive and willing
to meet the wood using industries half way along lines of standardization
and wider use of dimension stuck.
I would recommend that either the chairnmn of one of o\ir committees,
or a standing committee, be appointe<l, whose specific purpose would be to
cooperate directly with standardization committees of the hardwood lum-
ber associations.
Through the specific efforts of W. A. liabbitt the handle manufacturers
of the United States have simplified and standardized their wood stock
requirements. These stamlardized sizes were accepted at the annual con-
vention of the National Hardwood Lumber Association last June.
Hereafter any sawmill operator can logically cut specific squares, lengths
or multiples thereof and be sure of a market. The market of the handle
manufacturers is thus tremendously widened, and their stock will not have
to be cut to order with the consequent penalty in price. The extended
market thus brought will aid materially in the c*mservation of some of
the waste products of the hardwood mills.

This association has a direct ini'nd)ership. as an association, in the
Chamber of Connnerce of the United States, and as one of the national

of the chamber.
While the majority of imr nn'inbcr associations have a contact with the
National Chamber of Connnerce, I think in the future a vast amount of
information ndght w<dl l)e passed out as reflecting the viewpoint of the
Chamber of Connnerce from the widest possible vision.
The Committee on Standardization and Research in its report
indicated that while business conditions have rendered it very
difficult to canvass many of the industries and secure an adequate
idea as to their normal requirements of ^vood stock, that consider-
able progress has been made and exhibits will bo completed in the
near future.
Due to the activities of the Association of Wood Using Industries
a survey on dimension stock uses is being conducted by the Forest
Products Laboratory and is making splendid headway. Out of the

Sweeping Attack Made on Eddy's "New Competition"
Tlie sui)]il('UK'iital bripl' filed by tlio (iovcrniiifnt in tlie final argii
nicnt of the famous case of the American Column & Lumber Com-
pany, et al, appellants, vs. the United States, which will be heard
l)y the U. S. Supreme Court on October 11 or 12, makes a sweeping
attack upon "co-operative" or "open price" practices, as ex-
pounded in Eddy's book, "The New Competition," and followed
by various trade associations.
The Government's brief declares that "this case for the first
time presents directly for the consideration of this court the prac-
tices of those organizations which are known as 'Open Price Asso-
ciations,' " It then says that this open price plan is the direct
result of the efforts of "astute business men'.' to "devise some
scheme so adroitly formulated that it would accomplish the same
results as had been accomplished by methods," which the court
had "condemned in numerous eases brought to enforce the Anti-
trust Act of 1890," and "yet not be violative of the provisions of
the Anti-trust Act as it had then liceii construed in any specific
case."
That this "new competition" or "open competition," as devised
by Eddy, is no competition at all, is then contended by the Govern-
ment advocates, who invoke the shade of that venerable lexicog-
rapher, Noah Webster, to help prove their point. The Webster and
Kddy definitions of competition are contrasted: Webster defines
competition as ' ' The effort of two or more parties, acting inde-
pendently (tlie italics are from tlie brief), to secure the custom of a
third party by the offer of the most favorable terms.' And Eddy de-
fines this 'new competition,' according to the brief, thus: 'Rivalry —
competition in its broadest significance — is tlie earnest, intelligent,
frien-dly striving of man with man to attain results ienefici^jl to
both.' "
The Government maintains that the associations operating under
the Eddy plan rightly employ the word "co-operation," as their
slogan, as "the meanings of the two words 'competition' and
'co-operation' in political economy are directly opposed to each
other. . . . True competition has been the same as long as men
have engaged in trade. . . . There is no such thing as 'new com-
petition ' in the sense here used. ' '
This brief was prepared by James M. Beck, Solicitor General,
and James A. Fowler, Special Assistant to the Attorney General
of the United States, and is designed to answer a supplemental
brief which will be filed by Gen. L. C. Boyle, chief counsel for the
American Hardwood Manufacturers' Associations and the appel-
lants involved under the attacks on the "Open Competition" plan.
According to opinions expressed by the counsel for the appellants,
the Government 's brief is merely a rehash of the original brief and
fails to reveal any new argument or evidence.
But the stress that the Government brief lays on the alleged
illegality and subversiveness of the Edd.v plan is interesting to all
trade associations, as it emphasizes the fact that the hardwood case
is a test case, by which the Department of Justice proposes to
determine the exact limitations of the co-operative efforts of the
members of a given industry in an association. Upon the decision
that will result hangs the future not only of the open competition
plan membership of the American Hardwood Manufacturers ' Asso-
ciation, but of nearly every important trade association in the
country.
The members of the lumber association feel that they are ex-
tremely unfortuiinto in having been singled out for the test, but they
still maintain confidence in the ultimate justification of their plan,
though they have lost on ever.v count since the Government In-ouglit
its suit in equity in the Federal Court at Memphis in February, 1920.
They believe that the Supreme Court will mitigate the sweeping in-
junction granted by the late Judge John E. McCall and afterward
sustained by the Supreme (.'inirt penrling the outcome of final hearing.
In their denunciation of Eddy 's plan the Government attorneys
admit that the "members of an association may strive together to
attain results beneficial to all," but maintain "that such striving
would not jiartake of the nature of an effort by each acting inde-
pendently to secure patronage for himself individnally of a third
party. In fact, the word ' competition ' has no place in a description
of the activities of these associations. As the history of their develop-
ment and the literature promoting their adoption show, their chief
design was to destroy competition and to substitute therefor co-
operation.
Men engage in busines.s, not for amusement, but for profit, and they
will not ordinarily devote their time to the promotion or maintenance of
a scheme which will not increase their profits. Of course, more accurate
knowledge as to methods of conducting their l)usiness may aid them in
reducing their expenses, and thus increase their profits ; but when one
uses a method which requires less expense than the methods of his
competitors he is usually not anxious to secure its adoption by them.
Undoubtedly there are activities in which all may naturally engage in
concert in an effort to secure mutual benefit, but tbost- activities have
nothing to do with competition between the individuals so engaged. For
illustration, it would be to the advantage of all hardwimd lumber manu-
facturers for the use of such lumber to be extended into new fields,
or for such legislation to be passed or treaties made as will promote the
exportation of such lumber. And it would be to the mutual advantage
of the manufacturers of one section to secure a reduction of rates to the
centers of consumption, while the manufacturers of another section
might well act in concert in opposition to such reduction in order to
avoid the more acute competition which it would produce. Concerted
action aUmg such lines can be easily understood and create no suspicion.
But when men selling in the same market and Aeekinu the same 0U8-
tamers join hands in doing tlie very things that real competitors never
have done — things which are directly and fundamentally opposed to
every element of competition as defined and understood hy all political
economists, and as understood by Congress ichett the antitrust law was
passed, sueh conduct naturally excites suspieion, and is deserring of the
closest senitinti. The ultimate aim of such conduct upon the part of
each individual is to increase his profits, and as profits /depend upon
the price of the product, his aim is to get more money for his output
than otherwise he would receive. In fact, this is not denied by the
promoters of the "Open price plan :" hut they say it is accomplished by
stabilizing the price, which means that the price will he made nearer
constant at an average price higher than would be the average if the
market were not thus stabilized.
Now, what is the natural result of such a scheme as is presented In
the evidence in this case — that is, by the weekly exchange of the prices
of all sales made, figured at a certain point ; of monthly reports of all
stocks on hand, sold and unsold, of all raw material on the .vard, and
prospective production : of the distribution of a monthly discussion
engagecl in b.v each member relating to the prospects for future business,
and especially to prices, each being animated with a desire to have
his product bring the highest price possible ; of a letter prepared by the
statistician presenting a summary of the situation, if not in a false
light, at least in the light the most favorable facts will permit ; and of
frequent meetings where every element entering into production and
prices are personally discussed and views are freely exchanged as to
production and prices? In other words, where everyone exposes to every
potential competitor ever.v detail of his entire business, and especially
those relating to prices of their common product, and then meet and
personally discuss those details, is it possilde for any real competition
to exist among persons so affiliated'' Certainly not. If real competition
should develop, the organization would immediately fall to pieces, because
every member who had been undersold would feel that be had been
wronged, and thereafter would look upon such competitor as an enemy.
The very existence of such an organization depends upon the implied, if
not formal understanding, that every member will respect the supposed
rights of all others, that no member will commit an act which will result
in injury to any one or all of the other members, but that each will so
conduci his business that it will result in the mutual benefit of all.
The operation of this plan is far more efBcacious in controlling prices
than an actual agreement fixing prices between the same persons.
This line of argument is pursued at much further length and the
brief concludes with a number of theoretical citations of the
alleged evil results of open price practices and citations of actual
decisions adverse to these practices, made by courts under the
Anti-Trust Laws.

Testify to Rate Strangulation
Hardwood Operators of Lower Mississippi Valley Ask I. C. C. to Restore Rates
Prior to August 25, 1920, Permitting Them to Market Their Lower
Grades and Resume Logging and Milling
With the declaration made by the hardwood lumbermen that their
plea for lower freight rates should be regarded as an emergency
case, and that the situation in the hardwood lumber industry now
is as bad as the condition faced by the railroads a little more than
a year ago, the Interstate Commerce Commission on October 4
began the taking of testimony in the case of the Southern Hard-
wood Traffic Association against the Illinois Central and other
railroads for the rates jirovailinK ]iri(ir to the increase of August
25, 1920.
J. V. Norman, counsel for the lumber association, asked that
argument be heard immediately following the taking of testimony,
declaring the condition of the hardwood industry to be critical as
a result of the increased freight rates.
C. S. Humburg, representing the Illinois Central Railroad Com-
pany, made no objection, but C. B. Northcutt, representing the
Southern Railway Company, said he doubted if this would be satis-
factory. Henry Thurtell, attorney for the N. C. & St. L., demurred
that he was not prepared, in advance of the introduction of any
testimony, to agree to be bound by such an agreement, proposing
that the request of Mr. Norman should be postponed until the
attorneys for the railroads, of whom there are a dozen or more,
had the opportunity to confer.
Disagreement among the attorneys of the carriers in the method
of handling the ease created the impression that the Southern lines
were willing to consider the complaint of the hardwood interests,
but that the Eastern and Northern lines are opposed to making any
reductions because, according to their own information, the hard-
wood lumbermen of their sections have derived some benefit from
the disruption of rate relationships by the percentage increases
established in August, 1920.
Townshend Testifies
.1. H. Townshend, the first witness called by Mr. Norman, and
secretary-manager of the Southern Hardwood Traffic Association,
stated that the cause of the complaint was Ex Parte 74, and par-
ticularly the application of the percentage increase. Mr. Towns-
hend described attempts begun last March to bring about a read-
.iustment in rates by negotiations between the shippers .and the
carriers.
Normally the complainants shipped about 500,000 cars a year, he
said, whilt at present, he estimated they are shipping not more
than 40 per cent of normal.
"The situation next year will be worse because no logging opera-
tions are being carried on now," he said, "and this is the time of
the year that logging should be going on. The rates on logs are so
high that they increase the cost Of lumber $3 per 1,000 feet. Fifty
cents per 1,000 feet will turn a sale. The Commission knows that
to be a fact in a number of cases.
"The negotiations concerning which Mr. Townshend testified to
were continued until September 22 when shippers and carriers met
with Commissioner Cox, but no agreement was reached. He said that
early in the year the railroads advised the lumbermen to take their
time, and said that if the Labor Board reduced wages or traffic
increased, they would get the benefit of the changes in the cost of
railway operation.
"The effect of the percentage increase has been to stifle business
and put the hardwood operators out of business and decrease the
tonnage of the railroads," Mr. Townshend declared. "At least
75 per cent of the Southern mills are shut down, consumers in the
northern markets being supplied from short haul points. In the
case of a lumber manufacturer at Bloomington, 111., I know that
in six months of this year he shipped 2,212 cars. There has been
no such reduction in his business as there has liecn in that of the
Southern Hardwood lumbermen."
Confiscatory Rates
Referring to the relation of the new freight rates to the prices
obtained by the hardwood lumbermen, Mr. Townshend said that in
the case of J. M. Milner, of Leesville, La., ho had shipped two
carloads of No. 2 sap gum to the Illinois Glass Company, at Alton,
111., receiving ,$17 per 1,000 feet. The mill paid him $558.65 and
the freight bill was .$557.59 and the net profit on the two carloads
was $1.06. He referred to another shipment on which the dealer
made $7.67 on a carload. During a trip through the hardwood pro-
ducing region he said that he had seen large quantities of No. 3
oak piled for burning. The mills must destroy tonnage which
carriers would receive but for the destructive freight rates, he
concluded.
James E. Stark of Memphis, an officer in two lumber companies
and other companies that use hardwood, testified that his companies
have four mills but only one in operation. That one mill is operat-
ing because he had a term contract requiring the removal of logs
from a particular piece of land by a certain date, he said. He
stated that they are cutting only the best of the timber and that
only few of the logs are brought to the mill and after three inspec-
tions only the best are finally put upon the cars and the others are
left in the forest, to be destroyed by worms.
In reply to a question of Mr. Norman as to where the witness
sells his lumber, Mr. Stark said: "We are not shipping much now
but normally we ship to all parts of the United States and some to
Canada and other export points. We meet competition now with
our high-grade lumber but we are stacking the low grades, hoping
to sell it before the worms eat it or before we have to burn it. We
can and do sell and ship our high-grade stuff but there is no market
for the low grade. The northern competitive woods are coming
south of Chicago because our increase in cents per 100 pounds has
been higher than theirs. The prices on all grades on an average are
lower than they were in 1916. We are leaving 50 per cent of the
stuff in the woods, some of it cut and some standing. That which
is left standing will be girdled to enable the owners of the land
to clear it. Therefore it will never be brought out and marketed.
It will be a total loss to the railroads. They will have less tonnage
next year because no logs are being produced now. If the log
rates were reduced to the level of those of August 25, 1920, we
would start our mills because we did business on those rates and
we believe we could do it again."
"Even if there were no reduction in the rates on lumber out-
boundf" asked Examiner Quirk.
Log Rates Heaviest Load
"The log rates are the big stumbling block," replied Mr. Stark,
"and when I spoke I meant the rate on logs as well as on outbound
lumber. The increase in the log rate causes an increase of $3 per
1000 feet in the cost of lumber. We could do business on the rate
prior to Ex Parte 74. J. M. Nelson, of Pottsville, Penna., recently
h.ad inquired for mine door material," continued Mr. Stark, "and
said that he could ^o-y $23.50 at Pottsville. The rate from Mem-
phis to Pottsville," Mr. Stark said, "is $20.92i/. per 1,000 feet.
That rate on a carload would make the freight $315 and the price
quoted would net the seller only $37 or $38 per car, which would
not be enough."
W. B. Foley, general manager of the Chickasaw Cooperage Com-
pany with 41 mills for the manufacture of tight barrel staves and
20
HARDWOOD RECORD
Octobor in. 11121
six or eight plants where the barrel materials are made up, said
that 40 of the 41 mills are closed and that the one mill is operating
on a contract which provides for the removal of the timber by a
given time. He said that all costs except transportation had been
reduced to about the pre-war level and he estimated the freight
rate to be approximately 20 to 25 per cent of the total. Stating that
his mills are not carrying on any operations in the woods now
Mr. Foley said that if he knew that in 30 or 40 days the old freight
rates would bo restored he would start operating many of the
closed plants now so as to get stock for next year.
"I do not mean to say that we would get all the closed plants
into operation right away but we would get started. Unless we
begin logging within 30 or 40 days we will not be able to do any-
thing. Work in the woods cannot be done in the winter after the
rains have started. We depend upon native labor and when one
of our port.able mills is set up at a si)ur on the railroad, the receipts
of the railroad at that point are about double what is received
from us. If we pay the railroad $100,000 on our traffic the inci-
dental traffic including passenger revenues usually amounts to as
much more."
In reply to a question of Mr. Humburg as to whether the Volstead
law had hurt the barrel business, Mr. Foley said that it has been
hurt a little but that the whiskey barrel part of his business was
small.
Lower Grades Await Decay
E. B. Norman of the Hollj- Bidge Lumber Co., said that the four
plants of that company were producing at 25 per cent of normal,
that the sale of high-grade lumber is going on but that the lower
grades are being stacked to rot. He said the four mills could be
run at nearly normal if the old freight rates were restored.
C. H. Sherrill, of Merrj'vale, La., was a refractory witness. He
told the railroad lawyer that he could not see what bearing their
questions had on the issue especially when they asked the author-
ity for information on which he based his assertion that the freight
rates had shut his company out of competition in Chicago.
At the continuation of the hearing on October 5, J. I. Nellcn, of
the Wilderness Lumber Company, with mills at Nellen, W. Va.,
said that he could not sell his low grades on freight rates now
existing. He said that he had been unable to compete for fur-
nishing mine doors in the anthracite coal region.
Walter W. Kelly, a wholesale lumber dealer in Detroit, supplying
hardwood for aytomobile bodies, said that under the rates which
became operative in August, 1920, he had been unable to buy any
low grade grade lumber in the South. He said that he had been
forced to get it from Canadian mills.
T. E. Sledger of May Brothers, Memphis, operating two mills,
said that he had been unable to ship any low grade lumber since
the increase in rates last year. His outbound shipments since the
increase had been less than 7 per cent of what they had been in
the corresponding period prior to that time, he said.
' Bailroads Violate Moral Law
S. M. Nickey, president of the Southern Hardwood Traffic Asso-
ciation, following an investigation of conditions in Indiana lumber
mills recently, said that the Indiana mills arc operating at full
time at present. The contention of Mr. Nickey was that neither the
railroads nor the Interstate Commerce Commission had the moral
right to disrupt long-standing relationships in rates. He said that
he and other lumbermen had gone into the South, bought land
from the Yazoo & Mississippi A^alley and other railroads on the
assumption that the then existing relationships would be preserved.
He said that he was not contending for an equalization of the
advantages of location but merely restoration of the adjustment
which had existed for many years and under which mills in the
north and south had been able to get into competitive markets
on transportation rate terms which, when added to other factors
in the cost of production, gave them an opportunity to contend for
business on equal terms.
At the afternoon session, October 5, W. E. Hyde of Memphi.> and
Lake Providence, La., said the effect of the advance in rates under
Ex parte 74 on 15,000 acres of hardwood timber owned by him was
the same as increasing his cost of production $100,000. That is
too great a burden to be borne by anj-one who hopes to obtain
business in competition with lumber produced in the northern mills.
V. W. Kraft, representing the Cooperage Industries of America,
said the average rate on cooperage stock is $4.50 per 1,000 feet and
that is just about the average of prices received by the sellers. He
submitted that all of the testimony put into the record by the hard-
wood lumbermen represented the condition of the southern cooper-
.age firms and companies.
C. A. News, assistant secretary of the Southern Hardwood Traf-
fic Association put into the record more than 20 exhibits to show
that rates on lumber even prior to the increase of General Order 28
of the Director General of Railroads had reached the maximum of
reasonableness and that every addition since June 24, 1918, had
made them unreasonable.
W. A. Eansom of the Gayoso Lumber Company, C. M. Kellogg
of the Kellogg Lumber Company, and Frank B. Eobertson of the
Ferguson-Palmer Company, Inc., all of Memphis, are among others
who will testify for the Southern hardwood lumber manufacturers.
It is generally believed that a decision will lie forthcoming
around the first of November.

The Nominating Committee submitted its report, which was

Excutive committee, the officers and W. A. Babbitt, John Foley and
W. Harry Davis.
The following significant comment is taken from the Annu.al
Report of W. A. Babbitt, the chairman of the Committee on
St.andardization:
■When your Committee undertook this work of standardization of the
dimension requirements of the wood fabricating industries, our theory
of the problem was that it would be necessary to train our heavy guns
on the lumbermen. Everywhere, even by the secretaries of the lumber
nsscciations, we were assured that the entire success of the project
depended on convincing the lumbeimcn that it was worth while to
co-operate with the consumers and furnish them what they wanted.
These lumbermen were a bard-boiled, opinionated lot, and so forth.
Our experience thus far has been entirely to the contrary. The out
standing feature of our problem is not the lumbermen, but the wood
fabricator. It is possible that we have been unfortunate as to some of
the industries we have approached with a view to standardizing their
requirements. Be that as it maj% your Committee is no longer open
(it it ever was) to the suggestion from a wood fabricator that lumbermen
are a hard-boiled, opinionated lot. It is not lawful for the pot to call the
kettle black.
However, we must admit that considering the limited funds available,
the advances toward a complete solution of the problem of standardiza-
tion, with its attendant enormous conservation of forest resources, have
been far beyond anything that we could reasonably have expected. The
planting of this year will bring a larger harvest in the coming months.

Proposing a Workable Sales Tax
By F. J. Moss
President of the Millwork Cost Bureau
The moiiiiii!/ newspapers of Scptimbir JO carried front page stories of
the opposition that had developed in the Hctuite to numerous features of
the pending tax bill. A-inoni/ other things, it teas said th-at because of
general d ssatisfaction loith rarious features of the bill the nuivemcnt for
the Smuot 3 per cent manufacturers' sales tax, which is designed to
repliiCi- both the excess profits tax and obnoxious misocllan-eous taxes,
appeared to be ijuinlng some strennth. On, October 3 Senator Neic, Indiana,
stated that he is doing what he can to push the Smoot tax, while Repub-
lican House Ijcader Mandcll served notice on licpublican Senate leaders
that the House will not accept a stiles tax in any form.
I}wsmueli as the >Smoof plan, icith its 3 per cent manufacturers' sales
tax, embodies the recommendtitions of the Manufacturers' National Tax
Co7nmittec to the Senate Committee on Finance, J/r. ilos.t' criticism of
the Manufacturers' Tax Committee report, during which he offers a sub-
stitute for the Smoot plan, i^t a worthii contribution to the nation-wide
discussion of the new Federal taxation profjram. For several reasons Mr.
Moss is unusuallt/ well qualified to write upon this notoriously obtuse sub-
ject. To begin with, he han made a hobby of political economy and he
was the principal founder, and since its ineeplion in I91Z has been the itrest-
dent, of the ^tiltwork Cost Ilureau, a leadership which has demanded a
fine knowledge of economics. Also, he ix chairman of the tax committee
of the -issoeiated Industries of Missouri, a position which rouehrs for his
understanding of tax questions ; and president of the .\meriran Sash rf
Door Company, Kansas City, Mo. These facts indicate that he is able to
discuss a taxation question from the standpoint not only of the student,
but of the practical business man. Therefore, what he has to say in this
instance is much more worthy of attention than the maunderings of a.
mere doctrinaire.
In this critiiHsm Mr. Moss points out the eomplete impracticability of
a gross sales tax, because of its pyramiding of taxes, and urges that the
only workable tax on sales is a consumption tax with deductibles, that is,
a tax which provides for deduction from the amount taxed in each sale of
a manufaetured commodity of the amount upon which tax was paid upon
the immediately preceding turnover. Thus the pyramiding of taxes, which
would tend to ultimately eliminate all except the larger industries which
produce a commodity from the raw material to the finished product, is
precluded. — The Editor.
Even if it were possible to interpret the recommendations of the
Manufacturers' National Tax Committee, which was filed with the
Senate Committee on Finance in support of the proposed Smoot
plan as a substitute for the House Tax Bill (H. B. 8245), the effect
would be to saddle a 3 per cent tax upon manufaetured products
sold as such, such tax to be paid upon the sales price, lose or win,
while other businesses would be called upon to pay a tax only in
the event of a profit being made. I favor a tax upon gross sales
(after deducting purchases upon which a tax has been paid). How--
ever, there is no sense or justice in taxing the products of manu-
facturers, at the same time relieving all other business from the
tax burden, except only upon their profits. If other lines of busi-
ness are a necessity or have a right to existence, then they should
bear their portion of the tax burden. I grant that ultimately the
burden upon manufactured products will be passed on to the con-
sumer, but the same statement can be made with respect to other
businesses; and the first principle of equitable taxation should con-
template an equal distribution of taxes to all classes of business.
It has been said that wo are a nation of economic illiterates, and
it is claimed by the Manufacturers' National Tax Committee, in
endorsing the Smoot bill they are voicing the opinion of substan-
tially one hundred thousauM members with a normal employing
capacity of approximately five inilliou persons, would furnish the
best possible proof of the charge tliat the study of economics in
America is a lost science.
I am forced to the conclusion, however, that the committee in
question, after a very superficial study of the problem, and arriv-
ing at a conclusion, have assumed to speak for others, few if any of
whom would be in accord with the conclusions of the committee
after a careful study of the subject.
I propose to discuss this matter quite frankly, even at tlie risk
of being criticised, in the hope of arousing sufficient interest on the
part of American business men to a sense of their duty of a correct
understanding and vigorous action in this all-important matter.
A prominent statistician has made the statement that the enforce-
ment and administration of the present national tax system repre-
sents a cost to the American people of more than one billion dollars
per annum; and if the direct expense to the government and the
time and money expended by the taxpayers is taken into account,
there is no question of doubt but the statistician is well within the
facts. This amount represents the total governmental expense
prior to the war, and one-fourth of the revenue that is now deemed
necessary and one-half of what would be necessary under a scien-
tific, econoinical tax law. So much for the bill of expense due to
neglect. But it is said that the tax proposition is too com]ilex for
the average citizen to follow and understand.
Reason Is Snubbed
This conclusion is jierfectly natural under the present sj-stem.
The rule of reason has not been applied, and the average citizen
immediately concludes that the problem is too intricate, and he
leaves it to others to work out, with the result that the tax is estab-
lished with respect to the resistance or pull exerted by the different
interests and the effect it will have upon the voter. Political jug-
gling and misrepresentations, either for the purpose of convincing
the voter that he is being especially favored in tax matters, or
responding to the interests in position to bring the greatest
pressure to bear.
It so happens that I am engaged in the manufacture and distribu-
tion of a commodity, so. that any comment on my part bearing upon
the question of taxes upon luxuries must be considered without
prejudice. We hear the demand on every side for an increase of
the tax upon luxuries, without seeming to realize that luxuries are
the product of the best brain and brawn, and represent labor almost
in their entirety; so that the purchasci-s of luxuries are the best
customers of those who have labor to sell, and any tax measure that
would result in the curtailment: of the demand for luxuries would
result in unemployment and force the workers in tlie higher arts
into direct competition with less skilled labor at a lower wage.
Concerning the report of the committee in condemnation of House
Bill H. R. 8245, I agree in every particular, to which might be added
the charge that it would work a great hardship in favor of the large
integrited companies as against approximately 98 per cent of the
smaller manufacturers.
But, bad as the House bill is, the bill introduced and supported
liy Senator Smoot contemplates a gross sales tax which, it applied
as intended, would work a greater hardship than all of tlie many
.ibsurd, unjust features of House Bill H. R. 8245. A sales or con-
sumption tax is the only just or scientific basis, providing it is so
applied as to avoid pyramiding of taxes upon certain manufacturers
or products. A gross sales tax applied to all sales, as contemplated
in the original Smoot bill would ultimately result in the complete
elimination of practically all manufacturers and merchants except
a few of the very large corporate interests, which by reason of
conducting all operations from the raw material to the finished
product and the consumer, would be subject to but one tax, while
the same materials passing through the hands of separate interests
for each operation, and subject to a tax when passing from the hands
of one independent operator to another, would carry a tax burden
22
HARDWOOD RECORD
OctobiT 10. 11121
^aggregating all the way from two to five times in excess of the
total tax that would bo paid by the large integrited interests con-
ducting all operations. And it is impossible to conceive of such
an unjust measure receiving siii)port from any quarter.
Deductibles Give Equity
As stated, a sales or consumjition tax is the most scientific, equita-
ble and simple method, providing pyramiding is avoided by allow-
ing as deductibles all purchases of materials entering into the cost
of the product offered for sale, and upon which the tax has been
paid. Under this plan, if the total sales of a merchant or manu-
facturer in a given time amount to $1,000,000 and during the same
time the purchases of materials entering into his product amount
to .$6011,000, tlien the tax would lie against the difference between
the sales and jnirchase price, wliich would be $400,000. Tlius iden-
tically the same tax would apply on the finished product, whether
passing through the hands of a half dozen separate companies, or
if all operations were conducted by one corporation. This plan is
so simple as to be readily understood by anyone.
The Manufacturers' National Tax Committee in making their
recommendations have evidently sought to overcome this serious
phase of the Smoot plan by providing a single tax to be applied at a
specific point in the process of manufacture.
It is proposed to levy a manufacturers' tax of 3 per cent upon
finished commodities at a single point, when consumed or used with-
out further process of manufacture. First let us analyze the
)iroducts of the tree. Where is the man who can define finished
}>roduets or the period of development where the tax should be
paid? Would the tax apply upon the log when cut? Because it
must be borne in mind that a large per cent of the trees cut are
used for poles and piling, etc., and on such product would the tax
be applied before or after creosotiug or treating and preparing for
use? The same question would arise as to railroad ties, and the
same uncertainty as to manufactured lumber.
The recommendation is that the tax shall lie against every com-
modity manufactured, produced or imported when sold, leased or
licensed for consumption or use without further process of manu-
facture. After being manufactured some lumber is sold to retail
lumber dealers, and in some eases partially fabricated by the retail
lumber dealer, but finally fabricated by the carpenter on the job.
Other lumber is sold to what is known as a cutting plant, at which
point it is cut into exact sizes for doors and windows, after which
it is shipped to manufacturers, where a further process of manu-
facture takes place, and later sold to a contractor, and in many
cases partially fabricated on the job.
When Could Lumber Be Taxed?
So that in the case of lumber, if the tax is to lie against the
finished product, it would be impossible to determine at the time the
material is sold as to the ultimate use of same, or the point at
which the tax would be levied.
Scores of other questions co\ild be raised with respect to lumber
products, and the same is true to an even greater extent in the case
of all other basic industries.
For example: The druggist purchases supplies from which drinks
are prepared. Would the tax lie against the supplies so purchased
or the finished product as sold by the druggist? Would the tax lie
against the manufacturer of duckings or the finished awnings;
against cloth manufacturers or the finished garments; against auto
parts or finished automobiles; against wheat or flour or bread, and
ten thousand other items equally indefinite?
Furthermore, there are comparatively few simon-pure manufac-
turers. The great majority of those engaged in the manufacturing
business deal more or less in other manufactured itenre; so that
any attempt to levy a tax upon items wholly manufactured by most
concerns would involve the separation of sales into the various
classes so as to determine as to that part of their sales upon which
the tax would be applied.
And as I see it, the recommendations of the committee would
rather increase instead of decrease the present confusion in tax
matters.
The committee very wisely suggests widening the tax base; that
is to say, to distribute the tax to more products; and yet a literal
application of the committee's recommendations would tremen-
dously increase the burden or taxes upon the few, which would be
the manufacturers.
I am wholly unable to understand the general disposition to place
the burden of the tax upon what might be called the jiroducers of
tangibles. By tangibles I mean merchandise of all kinds. There is
no reason or justice in excludiug service corporations, such as com-
mon carriers, brokers, bankers, etc. Every legitimate business,
whether it be a banker, broker, commission man, public carrier, or
what not, is a part of the necessary economic system, just aa much
as the producers of wood and iron. I am inclined to attribute the
omission of that character of business from the tax burden to the
mistaken idea that it is difScult or impossible to arrive at a basis
that would l)e equitable and simple in operation.
Tax Intangibles Through Payroll
More than 95 per cent of tlic value of tangibles, that is to say,
merchandise and commodities of all kinds, is represented in labor —
that is to say, the cost of the raw material represents approximately
5 per cent of the total cost. So that in establishing a tax rate upon
tangibles or comimodities, the tax is really based upon the aggregate
labor in the various processes; and, as stated, service charges are
just as much a necessity as the manufacturers of wood and iron;
and the sales made by service corporations represent the value
created by labor, and such sales should be subject to identically
the same tax as is imposed in the ease of sales of commodities; the
only difference in arriving at the tax basis being in the case of
tangibles the tax should apply upon the total difference between
the sales and purchase price, and in the case of intangibles and
service of all kinds, the tax should apply upon the payroll. The
reason for basing the tax on tangibles upon the difference between
the sales and purchase price instead of the payroll as in the case
of intangibles is so that the tax will lie against all existing prop-
erty and will be collected when the property is sold.
So that every employer of labor should be subject to a tax upon
the total payroll (including domestic servants), except as stated,
in the ease of tangibles — that is commodities — the tax would apply
upon the difference between the sales and purchase price.
The reason for basing the tax upon the payroll in the case of
intangibles is, first, in the case of bankers and brokers and com-
mission men, etc., where the margins are small and the turnover
large, it would be simple and practicable to apply the tax on the
total payroll rather than on the difference between the sales and
purchase price. The other reason being to charge a tax upon
domestic and personal servants.
So that if the desire is to widen the taxing basis, I should like
to ask why it should not be widened to include the intangibles as
suggested, instead of saddling the entire load upon commodities?
A tax as suggested, distributed over all commodities and all
operations, would spread it so thin that it would be a burden to
no one.
Further concerning recommendations by the committee; I note
the reduction of the sur-tax for the purpose of diverting capital
from non-taxable securities to the industrials. It should be borne
in mind that this would affect only such capital represented by
incomes in the higher bracket, and would result in shifting the
burden from the few with a large income to the many with a
smaller income; and in this connection I would suggest that indus-
tr3' can be readily financed if our tax laws are stabilized on an
equitable and economical basis, and political sandbagging brought
to an end.
Concerning the so-called authoritative estimate of the revenue
from the five sources suggested by the committee: First, $1,275,-
000,000 from personal and corporate income tax, with a maximum
sur-tax of 32 per cent. This is evidently predicated largely upon
the return for 1920, and is very much in excess in my opinion of
the income that will be derived from that source this season.
The aniouut suggested from tobacco taxes is perhaps dependable;
but the same conditions that affect the personal and corporate
income tax will also reduce the income from inheritance taxes.
October 10, 1921
HARDWOOD RECORD

The amount suggested from import duties may be correct.
The next item, $1,200,000,000 from proposed manufacturers' tax,
maximum 3 per cent, is excessive even if it were possible to apply
the tax upon the finislied product, which, as stated, is impossible of
determination. I assume that the term "manufacturers' tax"
would apply to all manufacturers, whether corporations, copartner-
ships, or associations, as it would be manifestly unjust to impose
a sales tax upon corporations upon any different basis than the tax
to be paid by co-partnerships and associates.
Would Yield Four Billions
A tax of 2 per cent on .-ill tangililes, with deductibles as sug-
gested, and a similar tax upon all intangibles — that is, service
charges — together with a moderate income tax, such as suggested,
will yield a revenue of approximately four billion dollars per
annum. In effect, such a tax would be a burden of only $20 a year
for each thousand dollars spent by the individual; and in the event
of an increase or decrease in the necessary income or revenue, all
that would be necessary would be to change the basic rate higher or
lower; and each individual would be in position to know within a
fraction of what their taxes would be.
Permit me to cite one comparison of the difference between this
plan and the plan under which we are now operating. At the
present time we have tens of thousands of railroad clerks figuring
a separate tax charge upon millions and millions of freight bills.
We have hundreds of thousands of consignees tiguring and verify-
ing these freight charges upon millions and millions of freight bills.
Last, but not least, we have an army of government inspectors
figuring and verifying these various charges, the aggregate cost of
all of which is appalling to contemplate.
Under this plan of a tax applying to service corporations, the
freight tariffs would be established with respect to the tax to be
paid, without one dollar of additional expense; and the total
expense of collecting the tax would be a check from the railroad
company in payment of the tax of 2 per cent (or whatever was
agreed upon) based upon payroll covering a given period. And
under this plan all American citizens would be relieved of render-
ing an income tax to the government, except those whose incomes
were in excess of their exemptions, which in my opinion should be
liberal, upon the theory that we should shift as much of the burden
as possible to those who are able to pay.
There is nothing complicated about this, and the only reason
that people cverj'whcre have thrown up their hands in tax matters
is that the whole tax scheme has been inaugurated with a total dis-
regard of any basic principles; and the result is a hodge podge
from beginning to end; and inasmuch as a radical change must
be brought about, it is to be hoped that those in charge will go
all the way in establishing a broad and equitable basis.
John H. Kirby Names Principles Necessary to
Health of American Industry
In an interview given out October 10 on the unemployment
situation, John H. Kirby of Houston, Tex., president of the
National Lumber Manufacturers' Association and the Southern
Tariff Association, as well as a member of the President's unem-
ployment conference, said:
"Since the unemployment conference can only give advice, its
highest possible service to the country would be performed by the
adoption of a declaration of principles essential to the permanent
health of industry — such a declaration as would command itself,
by reason of its truth and claritj', to thoughtful men in all walks
of life.
"The causes of the situation with which this meeting is attempt-
ing to cope are not mysterious. Anyone who considers our tre-
mendous investment in unproductive enterprises during the war,
the heavy burden placed upon production by high taxes, the over-
manning of our transportation system and consequent high freight
rates, the serious effect of the fall in prices of farm products on
the country's purchasing power, the intimid.-ition of business by
numerous attacks on property rights, and the uncertainties in which
both production and distribution have been involved by strikes,
will understand why thousands of men in our large cities have been
sleeping on park benches.
"As agriculture is the basic industry of this country, with prac-
tically half of our people engaged in it, it is not possible for our
other industries to dispose of their normal production when the
liurchasing power of our farmers is seriously impaired. It there-
fore follows that, before normal labor conditions can be restored,
all prices and all wages should be brought into harmony with the
prices of agricultural products.
"Onerous taxation is a fruitful cause of unemployment, because
it discourages the establishment of new industries and the exten-
sion of old ones. Few men are willing to incur the risk incident
to all industrial enterprises when they know that the total loss mil
fall on them if the enterprise fails, while the government will take
an unreasonable percentage of the profits if the enterprise succeeds.
Before this country can again employ its full man power at fair
wages taxation must be reducedr
"I believe these simple truths should be put before the country.
Also, while anxious not to provoke controversy, I favor a declara
tion along some such lines as the following:
1. Civilization rests upon the right of the citizen to enjoy all he can
honestly earn and to be protected in the ownership and control of the
property he may acquire.
2. The regulation of employments and of conditions of labor, insofar
as any government has power to reguhite Ihcni, belongs to the States, ami
any effort on the part of tlie Fetleral government to exercise sucl^ authority
is a usurpation violative of the Constitution and a menace to the lilierty
of the citizen.
3. The right of the citizen to take employment and be protected in the
peaceful pui'suit thereof, regardless of his membership or non-meml>ership
in any organization whatsoever should not be violateil.
4. Orderly and dependable transportation is essential in both production
and distribution, and for that reason railway corporations have been
invested by law with certain elements of sovereignty, including the power
to take private property for their use in serving the public. All citizens
who seek or accept employment with the railways know of their obliga-
tions to the public and by such acceptance take upon themselves like obliga-
tions. No citizen can be or should be compelled by law to remain in an
employment against his wish, and his liberty of action in retiring from
such employment should never be restrained. This freedom of action, how-
ever, does not carry with it n right to enter into a conspiracy to cripple
or impair the power of carriers to perform the service to the public for
which they are created, and such conspiracies should be prohibited by law.

Liability for Interest on Overdue Account
The Facts : On January 8, 1920, a wholesaler in Pennsylvania placed
an order for a car of spruce siding with a Coast shipper, through a com-
mission man. After an exchange of correspondence, the deal was finally
closed on .lanuary 31, on which date buyer wrote seller agreeing to all
terms and conditions, specified by the latter as to terms, delivery, etc.
The agreement as consunmiated was that sliipment coulil n*»t be made
under four to six weeks and that payment in full was to be made within
fifteen days from date of Invoice, less 2% cash discount.
Shipment was made on .March 10. About thirty days later buyer's cus-
tomer, a retailer, notified him that shipment would not be accepted due
to long delay in delivery. Thereupon the buyer on April 14 wlre<l seller
he could not handle the shipment on account of his customer's refusal of
same. A few days later, however, buyer found another customer for the
car at a less price and on terms of ninety days. Buyer then notified seller
he would accept the car provided latter would allow him terms of ninety
days, no payment having been made on same. Seller advised he would

;illi)W ninety days from date of invoice provided trade acceptance tor full
nmoiint without discount was sent in promptly.
Tlie Imyer, however, did not comply with offer but instead sent
seller an acee|)tance for a part of llie amount, dating same ninety days
from April 21 instead of Marcli 10. Tliis acceptance was refused and
returned to buyer as not beinj; in accordance with the asreement.
The shipment was delayed in transit and no settlement was made thereon
until selliT received checit on July 20 for full amount. The latter promptly
made demand on buyer for interest for the extra time taiien. Buyer then
Icuidered his checl< for $20.Si). which was the amount of interest at 6%
on the amount involved froui .lune 10 (the due date accordini; to the
extension agreement) to date settlement was mailed, or July 1-J.
THK DispiJTK : Seller declined the interest checli on the ground, first,
that buyer was only entitird to sixty days' free tirue from d:ite of ship-
ment, inasmuch as the conditions under wliidi lie had offered tliirty days
additional were not complied with, and that therefore buyer shotild pay
interest for all tnne talien from due date (sixty days from date of invoice)
lo date checli was received; and, second, that the rate of interest should
be S% which was rate he had actually paid his Ijanls for carrying tlie
account.
Buyer contended lliat in the first instance the commission representative
of the seller assured liim on .lanuary S that prompt shipment would be
made and that relyiug on ttiis he immediately sold tlie same to his cus-
tomer for similar delivery. When seller later advisfd that there would be
some delay, buyer agreed hoping that delivery would still be made in time
to meet his customer's needs. This was not accomplished, and buyer was
forced to accept his customer's refusal of the shipment. He contended
both he and seller were at fault ; the latter by reason of promise made by
his agent, which misled buyer. He accordingly resold the car at a sacri-
lice in price and only asUed seller to absorb the extra time allowed and
which he contended should he allowed irrespective of the fact that he
liad technically failed to fully comiily with the conditions of seller's exten-
sion offer. lie furtheruiore contended that interest should be allowed up
lo date remiUance was mailed rather than to date of its receipt, and that
he was only liable to pay the legal rate in Pennsylvania, or 6%.
Tin; Decision ; Held : The evidence submitted shows conclusively that
seller complied with contract in every particular and seller should be justly'
entitled to interest on past due account.
Held further : That, inasmuch as buyer did not attempt to cancel order
or to refuse the shipment until about one month from date of shipment,
and as buyer failed to furnish suitable acceptance and, therefore, made no
subsequent contract, the original contract remained in force. Therefore,
it is
Held : ^Tliat buyer not having complied with the terms as to payment,
sliould pay interest for all time taken after sixty days from date of ship-
ment up to July 20 (date seller received checli) or seventy-two days, at
0% which is the local rate in Penusyh-ania. The amount, therefore, due
seller by buyer is found to be $43.18.

Transit Planing Will, a car of lumber to be consigned to Buyer's order
at a point in New Yorli State. As a matter of convenience in his business,
Seller follows the practice of consigning all or most of his cars to recon-
signing points for diversion to final destination. He so handled this ship-
ment and notified the Buyer of that fact when sending him invoice and
stated that exchange bill of lading would be supplied as soon as received,
the Seller absorbing the reconsigning charge. The Buyer thereupon offered
no objection to this manner of handling, but asked Seller to notify the
agent at Cairo to accept Buyer's reconsigning directions in lieu of Seller's,
so that Buyer could at same time change name of consignee to that of his
customer. This the Seller did promptly and instructions were given to the
agent by Buyer. It then developed that, while the car was en route from
Seller's plant to Cairo, and before reconsigning instructions were received
by the agent, an embargo was placed against the final destination specified
and therefore shipment could not lie forwarded to same. The Buyer was
unable to do otherwise than to let car remain at Cairo until the embargo
was lifted sometime later. Meanwhile .flOS.OO penalty and storage charges
accrued, which Buyer charged to Seller and deducted same in settlement.
The Dispute : The Buyer contended that Seller breached the contract
when he failed to bill the car in the first instance through to the final
destination specified in the order, there being no embargo in effect on date
shipment moved; and that, having failed to bill the car as ordered, should
absorb all the demurrage that accrued. He furthermore contended that
his having taken the matter of reconsigning out of the hands of the Seller
in nowise affected the situation ilue to the fact that embargo was placed
before Seller's instructions reached Cairo, The Seller contended that he
had just handled a previous shipment on the same order for the same
destination in the sjune manner, expect same was billed to and recon-
signed at Herrick, III., and that no olijection to this method of handling
was made; neither was Seller cautioneil a.gainst this practice when Buyer
ordered the additional car on the order. Also that Buyer accepted this
method of shipment when he requested the privilege of reconsigning same,
whereas, If unsatisfactory, he should have then refused to accept shipment
by this method and thus afforded Seller an opportunity to make other dis-
position and refill Buyer's order when embargo was lifted, no special time
of sliiiunent having been specified.
The l)Er-isio.\ : HKT.D, 1st : That Seller breached the contract when he
failed Iff bill the i-ar in <|uestion through from bis mill to the final destina-
tion specified in the order.
'^"H : That the Buyer waived the Seller's breach of contract when he
requested that the Seller should instrtict the railroail to honor his recon-
signing instructions.

was under the direct control of the Buyer.

Reforestation of France
Before the war France possessed approximately 185,000,000 acres of
productive forests. The bulk of these forests, about 177.000,000 acres,
were in private ownership, while 3,000,000 acres were owned by the state,
and 5,000,000 acres were in the possession of the communes.
The war wrought great havoc with the French forests. Large areas
were totally destroyed throtigh fire, while the forests back of the fire zone
were heavily drawn upon for firewood, trench timber and other necessities.
After the armistice the water and for?st board of France, which Is the
national body clothed with authority over the forests and international
waterways, took up the problem of reforestation with vigor and great
energy. The authorities admit, however, that given the most favorable

Lumber Prices at Sawmills
Down to Rock Bottom
AFTER a steady decline from the high level of the
. post-war period, lumber at the sawmills has reached
rock bottom. Many items, in fact, are now selling at the
sawmills for less than the cost of production.
Today the prices at which lumber is being sold at the
sawmills by the lumber manufacturers average less than
one-half of the prices a year ago. Some items are lower
in price than before the war.
How Lumber Prices at the
Sawmills Have Dropped
T
HE manufacturers' pnce at the
sawmills for ordinary building
lumber is only 40% of what it was
eighteen months ago.
Flooring has dropped over 60%,
heavy timbers for bridges and fac-
tories 50%, fence boards 60%.
Only a small proportion of the
output of American sawmills — large-
ly special items — is now yielding
any profit to the sawmill man.
Overproduction Everywhere
—Keen Competition
LUMBER was the last commodity
J to go up in price and the first
to come dow^n.
There are 30,000 sawmills trying
to sell their product to a market
which now could be supplied easily
by 20,000.
Lumber is the cheapest as well
as the most satisfactory material for
home building.

(Jevolopments, It will take at least a century to bring France's forests
back to the state of productiveness In which they were prior to the
summer of 1914.
A survey after the armistice showed that In the territory occupied by the
enemy the forests had been ruthlessly destroyed. The war zone spread
over 11 forest-bearing departments, Including Aisne, Ardennes, Mame,
Meurthe-et-Moselle, Meuse, Nord, Olse, Pas-de-Calals, Somme, Vosges and
Belfort territory. In these parts 300,000 acres of state forests, 322,500
acres of parish forests, and 922,000 acres of privately owned forests were
subject to devastation. In over one-third of this territory tbe productive
capacity of tbe forests was completely destroyed. Over half a million acres
must be refltted and rewooded to make it of any use. Another area of
375,000 acres shows the effects of abusive, preraeditativcly destructive,
or wasteful fellings, In which reserve plantings have been almost obliter-
ated.
It is calculated that It will require from 60 to 100 years of intensive
cultivation to bring these forests back to normal. Their loss involves to
France an annual shortage of over 35,000,000 cubic feet of wood. France
looks to Germany to assist in meeting its timber necessities as well as to
provide some of the funds needed for rebuilding its forests. The peace
treaty stipulated that Germany should deliver to France all the timber
necessary for reconstructing the devastated regions, and this work is now
going on. Deliveries, however, have been hampered by tbe lack of
adequate transportation facilities.
The water and forest board has established a special forest reconstitu-
tion service. In each department which suffered from the invasion there
has been set up, independent of the water and forest board, a so-called
"forest reconstitution inspection," with definite duties relating to the
restoration of the state, parish and privately owned forests.
Among the measures put Into effect by the forest board, besides the
clearing of land, reforestation, etc., are those of permitting a more liberal
degree of cutting to supply immediate requirements. This involves an
abandonment of the policy of reserving certain stock of exceptional sizes
for a future date. The board has undertaken to increase the number of
young and medium trees whose annual growth is important and to sacrifice
the older parks of slow-growing possibilities ; to utilize all non-permanent
resources; to reduce railway transportation rates on timber in order to
facilitate its movement : to utilize more of the home-grown resinous species,
which in the past have been disregarded in favor of those of tbe northern
European countries on account of their assumed inferior quality, and to
work France's colonial forests, especially those of French West Africa,
where investigation has shown that there- stre vast forest resources suit-
able for French requirements. Reforestation on an extensive scale is held
to be essentially work for the state, as it is considered more or less econom-
ically" unsound for private capital to engage in this work.
French forestry lost heavily In personnel during the war, but it is being
rapidly rebuilt, the authorities recognizing that no department is more
necessary to the present and future national welfare than that of tree
culture. — U. S. Commerce Reports.
Demand for Buggies Down to Quarter Million a Year
In addressing the forty-ninth annual convention of the National Carriage
Builders' Association, which was held at the Hotel Gibson in Cincinnati,
O.. on September 19, 20 and 21, H. A. White of High Point, N. C, presi-
dent, said that 250,000 buggies are now the annual output of carriage
builders of the United States, as compared with 1,250,000 a year before the
unusual use of motor vehicles, Mr. White expressed the belief that the
public has settled down to the number now produced as the yearly demand.
"There is no better way of bringing about a revival of the buggy busi-
ness, both domestic and foreign, than by the practice of team work in the
matter of joint advertising," Mr. White continued. "Through advertising
we can strengthen the backbone of our dealer friend and show the world
that the horse is not to be discarded and his wheeled equipment converted
into junk. We've got the argument on our side, and it is up to us to use
it effectively In advertising. We can blame no one If we refuse to chal-
lenge the enemy at the gates and tight for our right of way."
Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows : President, P. E.
Ebrenz, St. Louis ; vice-presidents, W. L. Delker, Henderson, Ky. ; W. C.
Heitzman, Union City, Ind. ; W. G. Norman, Griffin, Ga. ; J. H. Birch, Jr.,
Burlington, N. J. ; B. F. Taylor, Oxford, N. C. ; T. M. Robinson, Nashville,
Tenn., and L. R. Jones, Franklin, Va. Executive committee, P. H. Delker,

organization, will be held in St. Louis.
Fire Destroys Vehicle Plant
Fire destroyed the manufacturing idant of the \'ebicle Supply Company
at Cairo, 111., on September 24, with a loss of from $25,000 to $30,000
partially covered by insurance. The warehouses and sheds were saved.
Plans are now being made for rel>uilding.
Look Out for This Imposter
Hardwood Recokd has received a letter from A. G. Rutbmann of the
St. Louis Lumber Company of St. Louis, Mo., advising that there is an
Imposter traveling through the country under the name of J. C. Snider
and J. C. Sanders, who represents himself as a hu.ver of hardwoods for
this company, a subterfuge by which he has managed to cash several bogus
checks, one of which amounted to $45. The man is described as about
50 years of age, weighing 135 pounds, swarthy complexion, smooth face,
dark hair, about 5 feet 6 inches tall. One of his victims advised Mr.
Rutbmann that he appears to be well posted in the lumber business, except
as to prices, his quotations being $10 to $15 above the market. The
St. Louis Lumber Company handles no hardwoods and has no buyer on
the road for any purpose.
Rebuilding M. & R. Office
Workmen have started rebuilding the office of the Mowbray & Robinson
Lumber Company at Eighth & Home streets, Cincinnati, O., which was
recently destroyed by fire. .T. J. Linehan, general manager, said the
company expects to be back at its old location by October 20.
Mr. Shoe Finds Business Better
P. V. Shoe of the lumber firm of Kosse, Shoe i.t Scbleyer Company,
C'ineiunati, O., has just completed a tour of Ohio and certain sections of
adjoining states, and .says that there has been a noticeable improvement
in the lumber business. "Hardwoods are bringing better prices and this
has helped considerable to stabilize the market," Mr. Shoo said. "Orders
and inquiries from abroad are increasing in volume weekly."
Heim Swings Arovmd the Circle
Prank Helm, representing the hardwood firm of Richard P. Baer & Co.,
the tower of the Maryland Casualty liuilding, Baltimore, Md., returned re-
cently from a three weeks' trip, which took in Boston, Rochester, Cleveland,
Detroit, tJrand Rapids, Chicago, and even included a dip into Iowa, at
Dubuque. Mr. lleim's main object was to get in touch with the representa-
tives of his firm and obtain from them their impressions of the state of
business. Incidentally, he also called on a number of the big consumers of
hardwoods, among them furniture manufacturers, the cabinet makers, the
automobile builders. He found, he says, that feeling generally as to the
state of the trade was more hopeful, though no heavy buying was as yet
being done. What was very gratifying and promised well for the future
was the fact that all of the furniture factories without a single exception
seemed to be running at capacity. Up to the present time, however,
these establishments had not found it necessary to draw to any extent
upon tbe stocks of the producers of hardwoods or the dealers, having
bought very heavily last year under the influence of the big spurt then
on and having carried extensive quantities of lumber over from that
time. Now they were approaching a stage, however, when it will be
necessary for them to enter the market once more, as their assortments
no longer suffice for their needs.
Clubs and Associations
Michigan Operators Called
The regular Fall Meeting of tbe Michigan Hardwood Manufacturers'
Association will be held at the Pantlind Hotel, Grand Rapids, Mich.,
Thursday, October 20, 10 A. M.
J. C. Knox, secretary, urges that this is an opportune time for the
members to get in touch with conditions all over Michigan and there is a
store of information to be obtained by coming in contact with the various
members of tbe association "which cannot be gotten in any other way.
Freight rates, tax questions, general market conditions, etc., will be fully
discussed.
The market conditions committee meeting will be held Wednesday
afternoon, October 19 at 2 :15 in order to give full time to this important
work. All members are invited.
The luncheon Thursday will be at 12 :30 in order that members can
catch afternoon trains.
Americans at London Hardwood Club Annual
The second annual meeting of the London Hardwood Club in the great
British metropolis on September 2 resulted in the election of Norman A.
Wright president to succeed H. G. Sharp of Churchill & Sim.
Among the Americans in attendance at the meeting and luncheon were
G. H. Evans of the G. H. Evans Lumber Company, Chattanooga, Tenn. ;
Ben May of New York and R. P. Baer of Philadelphia.
Buffalo Lumbermen Hunt Chestnuts
The annual chestnut outiug of the Buffalo Lumber Exchange was
held on October 4 at the Boston Hills, south of Buffalo. This outing is
a popular Institution of some years' standing, and as the weather was
pleasant, though cool, the attendance was large on this occasion. It was
cool and bracing enougli to make outdoor diversion, including baseball,
attractive, and this sport, as well as quoit-pitching, had Its usual devotees.
Two generous meals were served by the culinary committee, consisting
of the following : Elmer J. Sturm, chairman ; Charles N. Perrin, Fleming
Sullivan, Eugene Carson, Ashton McNeil and Eugene Nostrand. They
showed their customary skill and hospitality, and the menu was so
appetizing that little room was left for chestnuts, the hunt for which,
however was continued with fair success.

playing of A. C. Gill,

from Toronto, as, say
the entertainment com-
mittee was prepared
in the unsurpassed
hospitality they dealt
out to all hands, the
championship might
have stayed thereabouts. But Frank Crager, the last year champion, who
hails from Helena was hardly a match tor the consistent championship
golf played by Gill. Whether Gill's play was responsible or not Crager
did not even take second place having to be content with third honors
for lowest gross score, while the steady game of M. II, Brown of Memphis
brought him in second in the championship flight, only one shot behind
Gill, The tourney was held September 23.
Gill won the title trophy offered by W. E. Hyde, president of the
Memphis association, for the low gross score of the 36 holes medal play
from the field of 70 players with 164 for 36 holes. He returned a score
of 7S in the forenoon Is holes' play and 88 for the afternoon play.
Although the presenci' in the play of Gill and Duncan Martin of Glas-
gow, Scotland, who is purchasing hickory in this country, gave the
tournament the proper international flavor, the American golfers do not
In any sense look upon Gill's victory as a foreign triumph, inasmuch as
he maintains a residence in the summer season at Humphrey, Arkansas.
There were trophies galore and in taking second place in the associa-
tion championship play, M. II. Brown, gathered in a trophy for the low
gross score for the forenoon play, 82 for the 18 holes. Brown made the
round in the afternoon in S5, or 167 for the 36 holes, easing in just one
point behind the new chanipion.
Former Champion Crager lost his title by only three strokes, doing
84 in the morning and .S5 in the afternoon or 169 for the day's 36-hole
play-
Memphis golfers can easily rest content with the day's work inasmuch
as in addition to some mighty good all-round playing by local entries,
J. C. Bonner of Memphis, won the trophy for the low net figure for the
day with 141 and F. R. Gadd also of Memphis came in with the second
lowest net score, or 143. The one point difference in their play was
perhaps due to the steady work of Bonner, who did the morning round in
70 and failed by one point of equalling It again in the afternoon. Both
had handicaps of 21 strokes.
The Fisher trophy was captured deftly by L. E. Cornelius of St. Louis
with an 82 after lunch. Stanley T. Horn of Nashville, came in with the
low net in the forenoon play while R. G. Hudson of Little Rock brought
the Arkansas colors to the forefront with a rush in the afternoon by
equalling Horn's net of 71.
Frank Crager proved his championship calibre by taking the prize
for match play against par finishing the morning round 10 down.
The trophy for best score against a blind hole, the 13th, was also won
by a Helena man, E. F. Jennings. He startled the gallery, which was
a large and enthusiastic one, with a very fine four, which is some golf
playing when one consiilt-rs that the 13th on the Colonial club links is a
hard, long ujihill hole of 492 yards.
Lloyd Bond of Charleston, Miss., beat all comers tor the best net score
on even holes for all-day play, with a 36 and a 38.
F. R. Gadd demonstrated that if ringers could be counted on a single
day's performance course records would very frequently result. Gadd
came home again a winner with the best card on odd holes. He achieved
a 35 and a 36.
Rooters for the Memphis pill propellers had another chance to howl
their heads off, or If feminine, to clap their hands to a calloused state.
when F. A. Conkling annexed the consolation trophy for gross top, with
266 top. Conkling probably figured he had to do something to add a
mite to the Memphis mountain of golf a.'hi.vc-i t and being a wise
man he went after the prize which he knew be could win If he wasn't
too careful and precise about his pill punishing.
And then came the grand cheer-up Hare for the local tjilent. II. J.
Richards, K. A. Powell, and G.orge Wright Jones, all of Memphis, the
last named incidentally proving that he could drive a g(dt hall as well
as an auto, were three of the four who were flight winners in the handicap
lilay, medal scores to apply. The fourth in this winning group was
another Helena, George Nichols.
Again Helena headed the way to victory when S. A. Godman of that
city of champions, returned a net of 72 for the morning play, besting all
competitors with allowances of 15 or more strokes. But in the afternoon
R. Carnahan of I'lne Bluff, .\rk., topped this class.
All in all it was the greati'st day that lumbermen have had in wielding
hardwood insteail of producing and selling it. And there were all sorts
of wielders of the wicked weapons by which a gtdfer achieves if not
fame— at least exercise and, If he's lucky, considerable satisfaction.
It is said that Ed Stanton, secretary of the American Hardwood
association, was so keen for absolute accuracy that he was on the joh
with an adding machine. Ed was formerly a newspaperman and prob-
ably has had enough experience with golfers and their scores to know
that anything that is human has dire need of accuracy when he counts
golf strokes.
\ot alone was the purpose of golf served at the tourney. For the pro-
motion of good fellowship among the lumber fraternity was paramount
throughout the day, and at the annual banquet in the evening. In fact
golf took a decided second place in thi' accomplishments of the day
and night program.

Strong Program Promised for Logging Congress
From j)resf'nt plans and iiuliciHiniis the fall meeting' uT the Api)alachian
Logging Congress, to be held in Knoxville, October 18, 19 and 20, will
surpass the notable spring session held in Cincinnati. The fall meeting
will be the sixth annual session, the Congress having been organized in
Asheville, N. C, January 3 and 4. lOlfi. with Col. W. B. Townsend as its
first president, C. L. Babcook, E. .\. Gaskill and W. T. Latham having also
served.
At present the official roster is: F. G. Norcross, president: .lohn Raine.
vice-president; T. Sunderland, secretary. Executive committee, M. W.
Stark, chairman: John P. Shea, C. L. Babcock, Geo. N. Delaney, W. T.
Latham, Andrew Gennett, I.i. D. Gasteiger and T. W. Hampton. This is
subject to change at the Knoxville meeting, as the annual election will
then be held.
Permanent offices, with a full time secretary, were established in Knox-
ville in November, 1920, since which time the membership has grown from
thirty-eight members and associate members until now it has 123 members
and associate members. Secretary Sunderland has labored faithfully and
strenuously to place the Congress in the position it now occupies, and it
is expected that it will be given another big impetus by the coming
meeting.
L. H. Tucker of the .'Andrews Manufacturing Company, Andrews, N. C,
who is an expert accountant with several years experience in the lumber
industry, will make an address on "Costs and How to Keep Them," this
being a subject that all lumbermen should hear.
P. G. Norcross, who has had forty-five years' experience in the manu-
facture of lumber, will address those assembled on the subject of "Sawing
of the Log." This address will be illustrated w'ith diagrams.
Geo. L. Wood of the R. E. Wood Lumber Company, who has had many
years' experience in the industry, will speak on the sidiject, "Reforestation
from a Lumberman's Viewpoint." Also to dwell upon conservation methods
as seen by a practical lumberman.
J. R. McGiffert. vice-president Clyde Iron Works, will give a historical
address on the development of logging machinery.
Andrew Gennett of Gennett Lumber Company, Asheville, N. C, will
make an address on "Compensation Insurance." Mr. Gennett is well
(lualified on this subject, being able to discuss same, -both from a legal
viewpoint and from that of an employer.
Col. W. B. Greeley, chief forester, has cooperated with officers of the
Congress in having both E. H. Frothingham and Capt. I. F. Eldredge
attend this meeting, the former to explain the methods of the forestry
department in their experiment to develop the minimum requirements to
keep cut-over lands productive, while the latter will outline the policies
of the forestry department. Inasmuch as the subject of reforestation and
conservation now occupies the center of the stage, it is well that all lum-
bermen be well informed on these proposed policies, which will enable their
cooperating with the department.
This is the outline of the program, while acceptances are yet to be
received from two other speakers, who are thoroughly versed in their lines
of endeavor. With the acceptances of these two, the program of fixed
subjects will be closed, the balance of the business sessions to be devoted
to round table discussion of subjects that are of vital importance to the
logger and lumberman and the election of officers,
Robert M. Carrier, president of the American Hardwood Manufacturers'
Association, will be in attendance at this meeting, and a message from him
to those assembled will be of much interest.
While the entertainment of those present will be in the hands of Lewis
Doster, chairman of the entertainment committee, assisted by his asso-
ciates, E. M. Vestal, E. W. Meeker, W. H. Hopkins and D. F. Baker, this
committee is receiving the cooperation of a special committee appointed
b.v J. M. Logan, president of the Knoxville Lumbermen's Club, this com-
mittee being composed of C. F. Maples, chairman ; E. M. Vestal and H. C.
Kopcke. Past President C. L. Babcock has conferred with these commit-
tees and local people, and a warm welcome awaits those who attend and
everything will be done to make their visit to this meeting and to Knox-
ville both pleasant and profitable.
National Wholesale Association Activities
The National Wholesale Lumber Dealers" .Vssociation, through its Com-
mittee on Legislation, is studying Senator Frelinghuysen's Coal Bill, S1S07.
It win be recalled that early this year the Association, co-operating with
the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, opposed the so-called
Packers and Calder Coal bills, as then introduced. The National Asso-
ciation is informed by the Chamber that the present Frelinghuysen bill is
very different from the Calder bill, and that there seems to be no vio-
lation of the principles to which the Chamber Ig committed. Many mem-
bers of the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers' Association are also in
the coal business, and also because of the possible Influence and effect
of this proposed legislation on the lumber industry the Legislation Com-
mittee is giving it careful consideration.
Reports to the members state that the Secretary of War, because of
lack of funds, has announced that the Aerial Forest I'atrol will be dis-
continued. The Association was requested to oppose the discontinu-
ance of the Patrol, and the matter was referred to the Forestry Com-
mittee. The Forest Service was requested to express its views, and while
Forester W. B. Greely believed the Aeroplane Patrol has large possibil-
ities of service and he would be glad to see it continued, in view of the
co.st involved and because this method of forest protection is a supple-
mental one whose value, development, and serviceability can only be
worked out through extended experience, the Forest Service did not feel
justified in requesting the War Department to rescind the action It has
taken because of the need for National economy. The Forestry 'Com-
mittee of the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers' Association will, there-
fore, recommend at the next meeting of the Board of Trustees that no
action be taken at this time to retain the Aerial Forest Patrol.
Southern Exporters Urge Cuban Loan
The Cuban "situation," as usual, received the lion's share of the atten-
tion of the directors of the Southern Lumber Exporters' Association,
comprising some of the leading hardwood exporters of the region, at a
meeting in New Orleans, September 23. Though the little island was
once upon a time a very large consumer of Southern lumber and until
recently took vast quantities of Southern hardwoods, its business has
gone practically to nothing. All efforts are being bent by the associa-
tion to restore this trade to a condition of normalcy.
Those taking part in the discussion included E. R. du Mont, president ;
C. E. Dobson, managing director ; Lucas E. Moore, W. N. Hunter, Roger
E. Simmons and L. L. Chipman.
Resolutions were adopted, copies of w-hich were sent to Southern con-
gressmen and the commercial chambers at the various Gulf and South
Atlantic ports, which were in substance :
"Whereas, business in the island of Cuba, our ward, and our customer
in 1920 for goods to the value of over five hundred millions of dollars, is
is a condition of financial distress ; be it
"Resolved, That the interests of both countries would be served if the
government of the United States would give its approval to an issuance
of Cuban bonds for financing needed and economically desirable road
and port improvements, since it is believed that this action would give
a general stimulus to the business life of the island that would produce
marked improvement in conditions therein."
Banker Predicts Advance in Lumber
Dwight .\rmstrong. vice-president of the Commercial Trust & Sayings
Bank, told members of the Lumbermen's Club of Memphis, at the regular
semi-monthly meeting of the latter at the Hotel Gayoso Saturday after-
noon, Oct. 1, that the accumulation of such a large percentage of the
gold supply of the world in the United States has had the effect of
impairing the equilibrium of international exchange and that this con-
stitutes the greatest menace at the moment to orderly revival of business
throughout the world. He said that students of economics and captains
of finance in this and other countries are trying to "find a way out" of
the present situation and he expressed the view that they would, in
time, be able to do so. He predicted that the lumbermen might shortly
experience an advance in their products such as the cotton interests of
the South are now enjoying. He pointed out that the shortage of cur-
rent production is making for the same shortage in lumber which boU
weevil and reduced acreage have created in the case of cotton. He said
that "business is somewhere between stagnation and recovery" and he
thought that present optimism in business and financial circles is
thoroughly justified.
J. H. Townshend, secretary-manager of the Southern Hardwood Traf-
fic Association, gave a brief report of the conferences held in Wash-
ington between officials of that organization and representatives of the
interstate commerce commission and the carriers. He asked, however,
that nothing be published regarding his statement. He made an urgent
plea for members of the club identified with the association to go to
Washington and assist in getting the proper evidence in the record to
convince the interstate commerce commission that present rates are
not only more than the traffic will bear but that they are actually de-
structive of the industry. Mr. Townshend said that a decision would
probably be forthcoming around Nov. 1 and expressed confidence that a
substantial reduction in rates would be ordered.
E. L. Pierce, of the Pierce Lumber Company, Marked Tree, Ark., was
elected an associate member, and James E. Bell, of the James E. Bell
Lumber Company, Hollandale, Miss., an active one.
Joe Thompson, vice-president, occupied the chair in the absence of
J. H. Hlnes, president.

With the Trade
Plan Resaw to Make Excelsior
The McDonough Manufacturing Company of Eau Claire, Wis., a largo
manufacturer of sawmill, planing mill and other woodworking machinery,
is considering the matter of bringing out a new design of resaw for box
lumber factories, which will produce excelsior instead of sawdust. This
development is in line with the widespread movement for greater utiliza-
tion of waste lumber, according to W. B. Brady, general manager of the
company. As Is generally known, escelsior as a by-prodnct would be a
valuable commercial commodity, while sawdust has few if any important
uses. The proposed new resaw design is to be developed as the McDonougli
company's contribution to the campaign of the National Lumber Manu-
facturers' Assoeiati<»n, involving a nationwide contest for the best new
method, new idea or new machine to save labor, time, material or expenses
in connection with tlie production of lumber, now being conducted by the
Utilization and 'Waste Treventive Committee of the National Association.
Charting Better Times
At considerable cost of time and money the .7. W. Darling Lumber
Company, Cincinnati, O., worked out the chart here shown, hoping to
drive home at a glance the fact that now is a good time to buy lumber.
Note the almost perpendicular drop from the peak of March, 19'20.
Glance at the beginning of the upward trend in September, 1921.
The company sent copies of the chart to Its customers saying : "Tack
it on the wall of your office and show it to that skeptical customer of
yours who is waiting for lower prices. HE WILL WAIT IN 'VAIX I
"The National Lumber Trade Barometer published by the National
Lumber Manufacturers' Association shows the following percentages of
normal :
Orders Production
May, 1921 71% 69%
September, 1921 79% 71%
"This proves conclusively orders are increasing faster than production.
A continuation of this condition can have but one result — HIGHER
PRICES.
"Higher costs of stumpage, labor and saw mill machinery, to say
nothing of excessive freight rates, have in reality, reduced the net to
the mill below their 1914 level. Can the mills continue long to operate
on this basis? The answer plainly is, 'NO.'
"In our opinion, never could the old slogan, 'BUY NOW,' be more
aptly used than at the present time. Preserve this chart and it you
think it teaches a good lesson we will be glad to hear from you. Better
times are on the way — be ready for them."

Entering a New Business Cycle
We feel justified in saying that general business con-
ditions in the United Statea and Canada have definitely
turned the corner, and that we are now entering a new
business cycle (as we predicted as long ago as February
7th).
W'e are advising changes in the general policies to be
followed by merchants, manufacturers and investors re-
spectively at the prei^ent time. These changes are pointed
out and discussed in Forecaster M, a copy of which is yours

Louisiana Red Cypress Company Makes Fine Hardwood
Connection
Tbe Louisiana Keil Cypress CmiipMnv of New Orleans, I^a., has just
completed arrangements with Jos. L. Eckstein & Sons Of Jasper, Ind.,
to have exclusive liandling of the out[>ut of their band mill, which is one
of the finest sawmill operations in ludiana, being built on the order of
the most efficient of the big southern hardwood mills.
This company has been in the sawmill business at Jasper for over
two decades and since the death of Joseph Eckstein during this year is
being carried on by his two sons. Louis Eckstein is general manager and
the brother has charge of the logging end of the business. In the summer
of 1920 the firm started the erection of the present band mill, which has
been in operation hardly a year. It is an overhead mill, six foot single
band of the Sinker Davis type, with six inch shot-gun feed on the carriage,
gang edger, automatic rip saw and dimension band saw. They have a
log pond that is e(|uipped to take care of more than 100 cars of good
Indiana timber. There lumber is stacked from trams that are built on
concrete foundation. There is a loading dock to take care of seven cars.
The company owns large tracts of timber within truck hauling distance
of the mill and buys from the surrounding farmers. The capacity of the
mills is from 15 to 20 thousand feet a day. A steam vat is now being
installed to take care of the walnut cut. Chris. A. Walker, manager of
the hardwood department of the Louisiana Red Cypress Company, spent
the latter part of September at this mill and came away enthusiastic over
the prospect of handling its cut. lie believes his firm has made a
"magnificent connection."

CHICAGO
In a statement issued to the members of the Lumbermen's Association
of Chicago, S. F. D. Meffley, secretary-manager, said that over 300,000
persons passed through and inspected the cottage which the association
built in a day last spring at a cost of less than $5,000 to arouse interest
in home building. He said further that 3,000 people had made Inquiries
about the house in person and 6,000 by mail, while moving pictures taken
of the house in process of building had been shown to hundreds of thousands
throughout the country. Twenty-five thousand persons witnessed the
building of the house. In Chicago 500 very similar bouses are being con-
structed in one section, indicating the practical influence of the clever

Beginning October 1 Theodore F. Laist became Chicago representative
of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association and took up his
duties at the Chicago office, 1613 Harris Trust building. Mr. Lalst la an
architect of wide experience and unusual executive capacity. He is a
man who, both by training and experience, is exceptionally well qualified
to represent the lumber industpy effectively in Chicago.
After receiving his scientific training at Cornell University in 1888,
Mr. Laist did work at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and spent
some time in study abroad. Mr. Laist's ability in the construction field
fits him well for the task of developing new uses and markets for timber
and wood generally. For a number of years he was superintendent of
construction of United States public buildings. He practiced architecture
successfully for a period of time in San Francisco, later becoming assistant
manager tor Holabird & Roche, prominent architects in the Central West.
Since 1914 Mr. Laist has had complete charge of all bridge and build-
ing valuation work in seven of the central states in connection with the
ph.vsical valuation of railroad property undertaken by the United States
government seven years ago. In developing office and field methods in this
worK, and in initiating policies and procedure, Mr. Laist has demonstrated
in a very marked degree his faculty for successful management.
During the years 1917 and 1919 Mr. Laist had charge of the construc-
tion of five of the army cantonments, and in the work that he did as
major of engineers of the United States army he has won the approval
and respect of many of the leading contractors and engineers of the
country.

Announcement was made a few days ago to the effect that the fur-

Gus Banman of the Maley and Wertz Lumber Company, is back from
a tjusiness trip to Memphis and the south. Fie reports trade conditions
in that section looking up a whole lot and It is his belief that fall trade
will be (pilte lively as compared to summer trade.
Plow manufacturers here report that trade is gradually picking up In
the south and southwest and that they are looking for a fairly good
fall and winter business. As cotton moves in the south conditions are
l>ecoming better and farmers in that section are now in better shape
than they have been in a long time. The local plow f:u-tnries are running
on a much better schedule than they did during the summer. Reports
from many sections are to the effect that the fiirniers are buying more
agricultural implements than they did early in the season.
LOUISVILLE
T. J. Fuik'iiluvc, fornierl.v vicei)n;si<Jfnt of the ('linnhiU-Mllton Lum-
ber Co., who joined the sale.s force of W. P. Brown ^V Son.s Lumber Co.,
about the liist of this year, has taken charge of the company's Chicago
sales, ami lias mored to that city where he has located in the Lincoln
Apartments, lfi4.S Luut Avenue.
J. S. Thompson, of the Louisville division. Southern Hardwood TraflSc
Association, reports that two cases will be heard by an Interstate Com-
merce Commission Examiner at Louisville on Octolier 11 and 12. One
of these on October 12, is the protest of the association asking that the
carriers be forced to publish rates suggested by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in Docket S131, which proposed that plain veneers take
lumber rates, and figured veneers a rate of 15 per cent over lumber. At
the present time all veneers are handled on class rates, which it is held
is an injustice to the shipper.
The other case will be heard on October 11, and is a protest of the
association for transit privilege at Louisville on shipments originating
on the Rock Island lines, and stopped off at Louisville. The Rock Island
published the tariff, but took over the through rate on shipments moving
North and East where stopped off at Louisville. As transit privileges
are permitted at Thebes, 111., it is held that the present regulations arc
discriminatory.
The Wood-Mosaic Company, reports better general business, its flooring
business having been very good, while there has been a much better
demand for walnut.
The Louisville Point Lumber Co., is cutting at full speed at Louisville,
but is not operating at High Bridge, and may dismantle that mill, ship-
ping the machinery to Louisville for a proposed new mill here, founda-
tions for which were built some time ago. No definite decision has been
made as yet concerning the High Bridge operation.
The Mengel Company, of Louisville, has taken off the night shift at
its veneer mill at Hickman, Ky., the night shift having recently been
taken off of the sawmill. After closing down the Mengelwood, Tenn..
operations, which are being dismantled, the company was forced to run
double shifts at the Hickman operations for a time in cutting out logs
from Arkansas, which were diverted from the Mengelwood operations.
The Norman Lumber Company, Louisville, has doubled the capacity
of its poplar box shook plant, and is planning to further enlarge, as a
result of capacity business. This department was originally opened
as a side lino to work off poor grade poplar and short stuff, but has
developed into a big business. The company reports only a fair lumber
business, with its drop siding business rather quiet.
Walter Priest Cumnock of the Roth Lumber Co., and Miss Emily
Marston, were married on October 3, at the home of the bride, it being
a very pretty wedding. Following the ceremony the young couple left

In connection with reductions of prices of farm implements and wagons
the Kentucky Wagon Mfg. Company, reported reductions in September,
of about 15 per cent, and B. F. Avery & Sons and Brinly Hardy Co.,
reported ten to twenty per cent reductions. The International Harvester
Co., announced a ten to twenty per cent reduction at about the same
time. Reductions have now carried prices of implements and wagons
down some 25 to 33% per cent from the peak. R. V. Board of the
Kentucky Wagon Company, reports a very fair auto demand, especially
for closed cars. William Black, president of B. F. Avery & Sons, reports
fair prospects, but the salesmen are just taking the road, and the plant
is not employing more than ten per cent of its force.
NEW ORLEANS
Chris Walker, manager of the hardwood department of the Louisiana
Red Cypress Company of New Orleans, returned to the Crescent City
last week from an extended trip throughout the North with the announce-
ment that while in Indiana he closed a deal for the sale of the output of
the Joseph L. Eckstein & Son hardwood mill at Jasper in the Hoosier
state. The plant manufactures oak and ash lumber of the highest variety
and Mr. Walker announces that hereafter the entire output will be
handle<l by the Louisiana Red Cypress Company of New Orleans.
With F. H. Stanford, manager, present the Southern Hardwood Sales
Company, Indianapolis, Ind., held its regular annual meeting at the
Lumbermen's Club, New Orleans, last week. The one session was brief
and devoted entirely to business of the compan.v. The entire slate of
officers was re-elected for another year, including J. B. Robinson, president.
Those attending the meeting and participating actively in the pro-

TORONTO
The first gathering of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers' Association siii(r
the holidays was held at the Albany Club, Toronto, on Septemliir i;.'i.
when an instructive address was given by S. Shiels of U. G. Dun & ('.■.
on "Credits and Business," in which he spoke hopefully of the improve
ment shown of late in many lines of business. As the result of a dis-
1 cussion over a suggested resolution asking the Railway companies for
new regulations restop-over in transit, the Transportation Committee will
take up with the railways the advisability of allowing lumber that had
been dressed in transit to go through to the Western provinces, and to
allow, at least, six months for stop-over in transit in Canada. It was
also decided to hold a conference shortly with the retail dealers on the
subject of cooperation and trade conditions generally.
MacDonnell & Conyers, Limited, has been organized at Ottawa, with
power to engage in a general lumber business, and has been granted a
Federal charter. The comiwny is capitalized at .$100,000 and among the
incorporators are Donald J. MacDonnell, C. 11. Conyers and L. J. Mac-
Donnell, all prominent lumbermen of Ottawa. Other recent lumber
company incorporations are the Lewis Lumber Company, Limited, Mon
treal, with $100,000 capital, one of the directors being James B. Knox,
lumber merchant of Montreal ; the Angus-Keefer Lumber Company, Lim-
ited, Belleville, with a capital of $50,000.
Advices received from Montreal indicate that only about twenty-five
per cent of the number of lumber Jacks that ordinarily go to the bush
will be required this season. Over 15,000 men went out from Montreal
to work in the woods last winter. Wages offered this season are very
much less, running as low as $20 a month, whereas last year at this
time the pay was about tiirce times this amount.
The Hardwood Market
CHICAGO
The Chicago hardwood market is reflecting the decided improvement
that has developed in the last few weeks in all hardwood market centers.
Prices have shown a marked firming tendency, particularly in the upper
grades of white oak, quartered red and plain red gum. The sellers are
evidencing a pronounced reluctance to take orders for large future
deliveries as they prefer to hold their stocks in anticipation of the
further steady rise of the market. Buyers are becoming more tolerant,
more receptive to quotations and some of them are now buying wbo a
short time ago declared themselves out of the market for a long time.
BUFFALO
The hardwood demand is reported to be improving this month and
orders are coming in quite a little better than a montli or two ago. The
buyers are not desirous of adding extensively to their stocks, but they are
more willing to listen to the salesmen and are not so pessimistic as was
formerly the case. The furniture factories are reported to be among the
chief customers at present and to be in general need of stock. The auto-
mobile plants are not active as a rule, so their buying is small. Tiie
building business is now on a more satisfactory basis than for some time
past.
WTiile prices are unsettled, the offerings in good lumlicr are not hoa\y
and it is said that liefore long much of this stock will be exhausted, when
buyers will have to turn to common lumber, which is now in large supply :
Prices in the latter are on about a par among the different woods, and some
readjustment seems likely. Oak, for example, .seems likely to go higher.
Red gum is one of the strongest woods, especially one-inch stock. Oak
and maple flooring continue in fairly good demand.

iiulusti'y. Nearly nil the glass factories in this territory started up last
month and arc assured ot a steady run for at least a few months. A lot
of hardwood Unnber was sold to these concerns in September as a result.
Other big industries In this district are beginning to feel the impetus
of more Inlying. The Westinghouse secured a $7,000,000 contract last
weels and the Pressed Steel Car Company secured a contract which will
Involve several million dollars. The big steel companies also came in
for some nice business and are putting on larger forces. All these
industries, as a result, are beginning to permit the purchasing of more
lundier. The coal and' coke business is showing some improvement and
it is expected that there will be quite a market for lumber in the near
future. The automobile trade, also, shows a little improvement. Fur-
niture and implement manufacturers are reported to be very low on
good hardwood stock but their orders are still few and small. There has
been a dechlcd change for the better in the building outlook here since
Sept. 15 but it will be several months before hardwood wholesalers can
cash in on this movement to any extent.
BOSTON
Kemand 'continues rather uneven, unevenly distriliuted and unsatis-
factory. Some speak of a continued, though slight, improvement in
demand while others are inclined to be gloomy at the situation. Gen-
erally there seem to be slightly more inquiries, hut certainly business
is of the "here and there" type. The tone is not very strong. The
weakness in common grades continues and in the upper grades there
also continues to be a rather weak tone. Concessions are quite freely
made by some, and some ot these concessions are rather surprising.
There is probably as mucli improvement in the demand for finish as in
any line of the hardwoods. This is an encouraging factor but not of
great telling value to the trade, as it affects only from 12 to 20 per cent
of the trade here. The hulk ot the trade improvement is in the demand
of the hardwood yards and of the furniture people. Export trade has
not resumed here. Nor is there any improvement in the demand from
the railroads. Business with the chairmnkers remains very dull. The
piano people are buying just a little bit more. Prices here are showing
ranges of from $15 to $20.
BALTIMORE
desired and intending buyers show a disposition to hold out tor con-
cessions, a firm attitude on the part of the sellers often serves to bring
them around and results in the placing of orders. Of course the gains
made are small thus far and the recovery Is slow, but there is every
indication that the change for the better will continue and in a com-
paratively short time attain impressive proportions. Nothing like a big
boom is anticipated, and the mills are still holding down with their
production ; but the time when important additions to the available
stocks will be needed does not appear very far off now. Meanwhile, some
advances in the quotations arc being made, which naturally occasions a
degree of hesitancy. But it speaks well for the recovery which has
already taken place that consumers find they cannot wait for any possible
easing off. The hardwood business in the East seems to be rather better
than that in the West in that the products of the woodworking factories
And a readier market in the East than in the sections where the factories
are located. So far many of the users of hardwoods have been able to
draw upon past accumulations to take care of the wants that developed ;
but they are now stated to have reached the stage where the stocks In
hand no longer suffice. Buying from hand-to-mouth is still the rule ;
but a more liberal entering into commitments is being forced by the
dwindling supplies, and this replenishing of stocks is quite certain to
attain increasingly large proportions. Even the foreign usi'rs of .American
hardwoods have changed their views on the situation quite appreciably,
and no longer feel sure that the shippers will be obliged to meet their
terms.
COLUMBUS
Conditions in the hardwood trade are reported to show more marked
improvement than has been noted at any previous time since the begin-
ning of the depression. While the demand still leaves much to lie
There is a decided improvement in the hardwood trade in Columbus
territory. While there has been an increase in business during August
and Septemlier, the past week has shown the greatest gain. Inquiries are
more numerous and one ot the best features is the fact that a large num-
ber of the in(|uiries are developing into orders. The tone in all sections
is much better and it is believed by lumbermen generally that the slump
is over.
Trices are decidedly stronger although there are no marked advances
in the price list to record. But the wide spread which has characterized
quotations for some time is past and steadiness is developing. Quartered
oak is selling from $135 for firsts and seconds to $45 for No. 2 common
at the Ohio River. Plain oak, poplar and chestnut prices are also firmer.
Factories are coming into the market better. This is especially true
of furniture and box concerns. Some orders are also being booked from

One of Veneer Industry's Leaders Dies
The death of Robert S. Bacon, president of the R. S. Bacon
Veneer Company, importers and manufacturers, Chicago, created
profound sorrow not only in the little town of Quincy, 111., where
for some years he had maintained his residence, but throughout
the veneer and panel industry, in which he was a commanding
figure.
Mr. Bacon died on October 1, succumbing to a heart affection,
the result no doubt of the driving will and restless energy that had
given him such marked success as an importer and manufacturer
of fine veneers. He was born in Hannibal, Mo., April 16, 1872,
and in the early '90s, after having come to Chicago and won suc-
cess with the Dayton Book & Paper Company, Mr. Bacon asso-
ciated himself with some Chicago business men and organized the
veneer company which bears his name. This company started wiLh
a small factory, but under the able leadership of Mr. Bacon grew
and prospered rapidly until it is today one of the largest and
strongest of its kind in the country, importing and manufacliuring
a great deal of mahogany, Circassian and American walnuts, rose-
wood, quartered oaks, curly birch, red oak and other fine wood^.
Success in this initial undertaking led to the organization of the
Bacon-Underwood Veneer Company at Mobile, Ala., with sawmill,
factory and logging offices at Stockton, Ala. In this connection the
company acquired several thousand acres of fine gum timber, and
Mr. Bacon spent three years in .Alabama establishing and develop-
ing the new enterprise.
It w^as during this sojourn in the South that Mr. Bacon met
Miss Venetia Danner. one of the belies of Mobile, whom he married.
Mrs. Bacon was the daughter of Capt. H. E. Danner, a prominent
man in his section, a leader in banking, coal mining, railway and
other activities. His wife survives him. together with one son,
Robert S., and two daughters, Venetia and Mary. He is also sur-
vived by his mother, a resident of Quincy.
A striking example of Mr. Bacon's enterprise was given in 1913,
when in order to get first hand information at the source of supply
of some of the woods that his company imported and establish
direct connection for their further import, he went to the Caucasus
mountains, the home of Circassian walnut in the far-away prov-
ince of Trans-Caucasia, Russia. His trip took him from Constanti-
nople to Batum, in the heart of the mountains and the center of
the Circassian timber producing section. Passing through Tiflis,
he had a view of Mt. Ararat, upon which Noahs ark rested, the
capital of Russian Trans-Caucasia and formerly the capital of the
Georgian kingdom. On a hill behind Samson, he plainly saw the
ruins of the ancient city of Amysos, mentioned in the Bible as the
land of the Hittites. After his return, at the request of the pub-
lishers of Hardwood Record, Mr. Bacon wrote a most interesting
five-page account of his trip, illustrated with numerous pictures
taken by him in that far-away section of the old world, an article
that attracted wide attention.
During his trip abroad, Mr. Bacon arranged for direct importa-
tions of fine woods from the Trans-Caucasus to his factory in this
country and for exporting his products to Europe. Very shortly
after his return, how^ever, the world w^ar broke out and these plans
have been delayed.
Furniture Plant Sued by Lumbermen
Calbraith & Son. lumber dealers of Sunman, Ind.. filed suit
recently in Shelby circuit court, asking judgment of $23,055
against the Blanchard-Hamilton Furniture Company of Shelby-
ville, Ind., for refusal on the part of the furniture company to
accept the remainder of an order of 200,000 feet of one-inch oak
at an agreed price of $115 per 1,000 feet, f. o. b. Sunman, Ind.,
after they had already accepted and paid for 43,000 feet of said
lumber. The suit is in two parts, the first asking judgment of
$18,055 and the second demanding ;?5,000, and asks foreclosure of
the plaintiff's liens on the lumber ordered by the defendant com-
pany which is now stacked in the yard of the plaintiff company.
The Wabash Cabinet Company, Wabash, Ind., has received a
large Christmas order from an eastern phonograph company which
will enable it to resume operations with a full working force, after
having been idle for eight months, until December 15. Additional
orders are expected after that date which will keep the company
in operation.
Plans are being made for a mass meeting of all the furniture
dealers of the state, members of the Indiana Association of Retail
Furniture Dealers with executives of Indianapolis furniture factories
some time soon to discuss the better homes movement and see if
something concerted can not be attempted that will lead to the
sale of more furniture. The meeting has been called by George
Oilar, president of the retailers.
Only a small portion of the veneer stock of the Astoria Mahog-
any Company was burned by the fire that visited the company s
plant at Long Island City. N. Y., on September 21. In all probably
not exceeding 3,000,000 feet of mahogany, Circassian walnut and
other veneers were burned. The loss will not interfere with the
company's business in the least, as it had a large line of mahogany
veneer on hand as well as a considerable stock of mahogany logs.
The fire did not touch the sawmills, veneer manufacturing plant nor
lumber yard. It was confined to one of the company's several
veneer warehouses.
Evansville, Ind.. veneer manufacturers report that their trade
is showing some signs of revival now^ and that they look for a
steady picking up in business as the furniture trade picks up.
Local furniture factories are being operated on an average of
50 and 54 hours a week and the retail furniture trade is reported
to be a great deal better since the last furniture market was held
in Evansville. Veneer manufacturers believe that their fall trade
will show a great improvement over their business early in the
year.

readings. To use the table,
read the temperatures and
■ ubtract the wet bulb readings
from the dry. Locate the ver-

by the appropriate difference
between wet and dry bulb
readings, and the horizontal
row of figures beginning at
the extreme left with the ob-
served dry bulb reading. The
figure marking the intersec-

The figure marking the inter-
section of the vertical column
for 8 degrees difference with the horizontal row beginning with 1 40

Is Prosperity Ahead?
The following interesting comments on current business condi-
tions were recently sent to the members of the Central Bureau of
Furniture Manufacturers by M. Wulpi, commissioner:
The situation business has passed through the past ten months
is not to be wondered at, when it is realized that the Big War upset
conditions of every kind, and carried its detrimental effect into
every phase of human life and activity. The one Big Wonder is,
that we seemingly are getting out from under it so rapidly. It took
the country eight years to recover from the C'ivil War, which was
not nearly as far reaching as the late one.
"The big commercial question at this time is 'What is this Fall
gomg to see? Naturally, the buying activity and power of the
farmer is as big a unit towards the answer as any other. The 1 92 1
crop is big. There are almost six and a half million American
Farms. Will they buy this Fall, and to what extent?
A farm journal publishing house recently issued an inquiry to
12.824 farmer 'Smiths' on its 1.100.000 subscription list, as a fair
representation for general results. The question was:
" "What would they do with this harvests' cash?'
The returns were heavy. Computing the percentage in returns
the following deductions were made:
"Of the total 1,100.000 farmers, 5 13,700 will paint this or next
year.
"42,900 will build houses this year.
"38,500 will build next year.
"40.700 are planning to build barns.
"1 5,500 are planning to build houses and barns.
"786,500 buildings to be built.
1 9 I ,670 buildings repaired or remodeled.
"862,000 farm buildings built, repaired or remodeled.
"521,400 build or repair fences this fall.
95,800 build or repair fences next year.
"115 10 of the Smiths will buy autos this fall, making 126,500
autos to be purchased by the 1,100,000 farmers, 13 7.000 already
decided upon as to makes for this year and next.
"They are to purchase 17.600 motor trucks this fall, and 2,100
next year.
"8,300 motorcycles this year.
"68,500 will purchase lighting plants.
"33,100 will install heat plants.
"28.800 gas engines to be purchased.
"78.100 washing machines.
120,300 musical instruments.
"33,100 tractors.
"100,000 implements.
"5911,503,000 estimated total purchases, by the I. 100.000 on
this journal's list.
When it's considered that this is but one-sixth of the total farms
and refers to only the main items, the total cash to be expended will
run into vast sums from this medium alone.
How many other wheels will this put into motion? One indus-
try interlocks into another and if all move, what a tremendous
machine it is. Let but a few cogs stop and the effect is far-reaching
and to the reverse, let one start off well, how many others it will
drive.
So while the whole business machine may not get to humming
this fall, it is confidently expected that it will get into such motion.
that by next Spring you will hear prosperity's tune. Let us
hope so. "

NAPOLEON KNEW
A THING OR TWO
/^VER in France, at Malmaison, they will still
show you a remarkable collapsible cabinet or
writing desk made for Napoleon himself, on his
own specifications, and used by him on the most
famous battle fields of Europe.
Veterans of the Old Guard called it the "bureau
de campagne," and for years it withstood the hard-
est kind of punishment on the march over the
worst roads imaginable— and in battle.
It is still intact, still in perfect condition.
It is built of plywood, sides, front,
tops and back —
and veneered with rosewood.
Not a blister on it.
In the plant of the

with hot water,
placed hetween su-
l)er-heated poplar
canl hoards, put un-

and left for not less
than twent}'-foin" to

Trade Appears "Streaky" at
"the Rapids"
By Our Grand Rapids Correspondent
During the July furniture market it was quite the practice and
a quite proper one, too, to refer to the conditions as "spotted."
At that time some manufacturers were doing a whale of a business
while others were doing almost none. That "spotted" condition
still exists and not only does that term apply but it might also be
said that the furniture conditions are "streaked." Now here is
what is meant by the use of the two terms as applied to present
conditions :
Son^e manufacturers are still doing a considerable business
while others are still struggling and fighting for every order they
take and hustling to get that order on the rails before it can be
cancelled. That is "spotted." .A,gain the orders come in bunches
and then do not come at all, and that is "streaked."
Just the reason for these two conditions is not clearly apparent
except that they are the result of generally not greatly improved
business and financial conditions throughout the country. In the
middle of September the manufacturers quite generally ran into
a fat "streak" and were led to believe that perhaps the worst was
over, that the improved conditions of the cotton market and ap-
parent improved demand from the east spelled continued improve-
ment ihroLighout the fall. Manufacturers w^ere quite cheery as
a result.
But that fat "streak" has not been maintained. Near the end
of September the furniture industry ran into a "streak" of the
other kind. The orders did not continue to come and something
like pessimism set in. Summed up it all appears to be a purely
stock market influence. The artificial juggling in Wall street for a
short time led the East to believe that things were looking up and
as a result the orders for furniture came in. But that "streak"
was rather short lived and the business which ought to be coming
from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and other similar large centers was
not holding up. Indeed, these centers were all but out of the
consideration and manufacturers w^ere out digging up business in
new^ territory and among customers strangers to their books.
This digging process yielded some return and the plants are all
running full time in Grand Rapids but are once more on the hand-
to-mouth schedule.
This is far from a satisfying situation and yet the manufacturers
are taking a most hopeful view of the situation and living in the
expectation that they will manage to dig up enough new business
to keep them running full time until the January market comes
along, and then they hope the situation will have been sufficiently
clarified to give them a good business at that time. They are
hoping that some good result will come from the conference
relative to idle men and that when once that situation has been
solved, business will have become stabilized and they can look
into the future with more assurance than has been the case in
the last twelve months. However, when they look back upon the
conditions of a year ago when their books were practically bare
of orders they are inclined to feel that after all they have much
to be thankful for.
And referring once more to that "spotted" situation, a fine
example of it was shown on October I when it was announced in
Grand Rapids newspapers that one furniture factory was putting
on a night shift, the first in a long time. To be sure, that was a
small plant, but it seemed to show that something was in the air
and that that something was very much worth while.
But on that same day another large manufacturer made the
statement to the writer that he had orders enough to last him
just one month and no more and that the salesmen were working
hard in an endeavor to secure enough orders to carry the plant
through until the first of the year.
A week prior to this date, a third large manufacturer made the
statement that conditions generally were not at all satisfactory,

'Manufitctuimq Cost
YOUR raw material is a big factor
woodworking costs. With your lum-
ber and veneer it may have better texture and
uniform color saving in working and match-
ing. It may be better made and graded —
saving in milling and labor; it may be bet-
ter cured by superior air drying (in lumber),
or careful kiln drying with obvious saving.
That is exactly the service we are pleased
to offer you — a big organization built, through
thirty years' work, around the factory man's
needs. For instance, our twenty trained tim-
ber men carefully pick for uniform quality
all the logs we cut; we have seven separate
plants, each built to cut only a certain prod-
uct making uniform quality positive. Our
lumber and veneer drying facilities are the
result of rigid tests and exhaustive study and
extensive enough for ANY demand. As a
result our lumber and veneer are recognized
for their cost-cutting qualities. Have you
tried them?

that his eastern business had fallen flat and that he was forced to
seek new fields in order to keep his plant running. He had found
orders among the smaller furniture dealers in the small towns
which his salesmen did not customarily visit, for these small dealers
had during the period of rush in 1919 and 1920 not been able to
get merchandise and were all but cleaned out. It was the turn of
the little fellows to laugh, too. because when business was rushing
the salesmen passed them by in order to get to the big fellows.
Now they are combing the highways and byways in search of
orders of whatever size they may be able to get and are thankful
for the small favors as well as for the large.
.And e:o there is little just row to cheer about in the furniture
business. The outlook of July has not been maintained. The
most that can be said of it is that manufacturers are hopeful that
they will be able to keep running until the first of the year and
that at that time conditions will have become sufficiently stabilized
to result in generous orders in the January market.
Furniture Man Shoots Himself
Herbert C. Dietz, 38 years old, second vice-president of the
J. F. Dietz Company, office furniture manufacturers, whose plant
is located at 485 1 Spring Grove avenue, Cincinnati. O., was found
dead with a bullet wound in his head at the home of a friend with
whom he made his home for the past month. Relatives and business
associates said that Mr. Dietz brooded deeply over the loss of his
mother, who died three years ago. and believe this prompted him
to end his life. The J. F. Dietz Company is one of the oldest estab-
lishments of its kind in this section of the country and Mr. Dietz
was responsible in a large measure for its wonderful growth during
the past fifteen years.

lAfHAT does it mean to you as a buyer to
■ ■ have implicit confidence in the source of
your most important raw material supply?
For instance, all informed buyers recognize
the true superiority of northern grown hard-
wood lumber and veneers— the product in
which we specialize. Big customers stay on
our books for years because it is easy for
them to determine that we never have cut
anything but the genuine northern grown logs
in oak, walnut, maple, ash and other major
species. The same sincerity maintains with
our rotary cut poplar offering. And withal is
that correctness of manufacture and honesty
of contact with customers that has been the
bulwark of this business for over a half
century. It will profit you to know us better.

The above is not an announcement of ordinary
facilities for veneer and plywood manufacture. We
offer to the trade a deluxe product manufactured in
the most extensive and complete plant of its kind in
the country. This business was founded in St. Louis
forty years ago on an humble, but sound basis. It
has progressed steadily since, the second of two
thoroughly modern factories having been completed
in St. Louis last year.
Our product is universally accepted as a standard
in plywood production because this business was
founded practically in the infancy of commercial ply-
wood manufacture and much of the progress in per-
fecting this product is attributable to the thorough
organization and remarkably complete manufactur-
ing facilities of this company.
Your business may wisely be intrusted to our hands.

WE guarantee that our Walnut Lumber, after having
been steamed in our Steam Kilns for four days — then
placed on sticks for six days, during fair weather, can be
placed in your Dry Kilns immediately and dried with greater
safety than unsteamed lumber, green from the saw and
placed on the sticks for ninety days. This method of steam-

THE PAST AND PRESENT IN MAHOGANY
Mahogany Ad Valorem May Be Dead
A matter in which furniture manufacturers are intensely inter-
ested just at this time, and which of course is of first interest to the
lumber dealer, is the proposed 10 per cent ad valorem duty on
mahogany logs. Just at this time that interest is centered around a
communication from Congressman Carl E. Mapes of Grand Rapids
in which he expresses the opinion that that schedule is dead and
that the bill when passed will not contain that duty. Congressman
Mapes presented a brief in protest against the duty from the Grand
Rapids Furniture Manufacturers' association and then made some
inquiries among the members of the committee to find out what the
sentiment was. He is satisfied that the schedule will not be con-
tained in the final bill.
The manufacturers in their protest set up two grounds, the first
being that such a duty would afford no protection since there is no
mahogany lumber grown in the United States proper. The second
point made is that mahogany logs should not be taxed as luxuries
since it is an accepted high class cabinet wood used by manufac-
turers even of medium priced furniture. It is also pointed out that
the mahogany substitutes do not require an artificially stimulated
market since there is plenty of demand for those kinds of woods
now. But Mr. Mapes thinks the idea is dead and the furniture man-
ufacturers of Grand Rapids from their investigations are also of that
opinion.
The Ev.insville Furniture Manufacturers' .'\ssociation has ap-
pointed a committee, headed by Gilbert Bosse, of the Imperial Desk
Company, to co-operate ^vith a committee from the C hamber of
Commerce in the employing of a traffic manager for the Chamber
of Commerce. This position was abolished about a year ago for
the reason that the Chamber of Commerce did not have sufficient
funds to carry on the work.

Automatic Control of Humidity in Shops
Devices for controlling humidity in shops are of three
types. The first are makeshifts, such as wet sawdust
strewn on the floor, troughs of running water at the sides
of the room, or simply an ordinary sprinkling can. Such
crude devices are not in any sense self-regulating, and
even with the most careful personal attention produce
only haphazard results. The sprinkling-can type of hu-
midifier has been in use for hundreds of years and is of
interest chiefly because it shows that the need for air-con-
ditioning apparatus in many industrial plants has been
recognized for a long time. A second class of humidifiers
ii:cludes those that are capable of increasing the moisture
in the air up to the point for which they are set, but can-
not decrease it. When the weather forces the humidity
cbove the desired point, such instruments remain inactive.
Few instruments of this type attempt any control of the
temperature. A third type of conditioning apparatus is
tliat which is able to hold the atmosphere in a room at a
constant temperature and humidity irrespective of out-
side conditions.
One of the few instruments which absolutely control
both the temperature and the humidity of the air is that
aeveloped at the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison,
Wisconsin. For several years this apparatus has main-
tained in the laboratory wood-parts storage rooms the
typical climatic conditions found in various parts of the
L'nited States, ranging from the hot, moist climate of the
South to the cold, dry climate found in the mountain
regions. The same type of instrument also keeps the
woodworking rooms at the laboratory at uniform tem-
perature and humidity year in and year out, with the re-
sult that the wooden articles manufactured there give
the minimum amount of trouble afterwards from warp-
ing and checking, and the shop conditions are healthful
rnd comfortable to the highest degree. These instru-
ments have required very little personal attention since
they were installed.
The principle upon which the laboratory automatic
humidity-control apparatus works is that of cooling the
air to the dewpoint temperature for the desired atmos-
pheric condition, saturating it with moisture at that point,
and then heating it without addition of moisture to the re-
quired room temperature. For any given room temper-
by choosing the temperature at which the air is saturated.
The apparatus consists of a small cabinet, or chamber,
ature it is possible to get any humidity desired, simply
through which the air is drawn as often as it needs to be
conditioned. The conditioning chamber contains water
sprays whose temperature is kept constant by a mixing
valve. These sprays suck in the air by their own action,
cool it to the temperature at which it should be saturated,
and give it all the moisture it can hold. As the air leaves
the chamber it is heated to room temperature by coils,
whose steam supply is controlled by a thermostat located
in the outlet. Thus when the air is drawn into the cham-
ber it may be too hot or too cold, too moist or too dry,
but the apparatus automatically humidifies or dehumidi-
fies it and brings it to the correct temperature before
^;llowing it to pass again into the room. Both in the stor-
age rooms, where the air needs conditioning very in-
frequently, and in the workrooms, where it is completely
changed every ten minutes, the recording instruments
show that the atmospheric conditions have varied to only
a slight extent throughout a three-year period.
This method of air conditioning was developed pri-
marily for woodworking shops and wood gluing, finish-
ing, and drying rooms. it is adaptable, however, to
numerous other industrial plants, including textile mills
and chemical, foodstuff, and tobacco factories, in which
close control of atmospheric conditions would be bene-

ficial to both the material being manufactured and the
heilth of the employes. It is practicable wherever there
i" a supply of cold water and steam heat.
Drawings of the apparatus and further details concern-
ing its installation and operation may be had on applica-
tion to the Forest Products Laboratory.
One of the recent acquisitions to tKe furniture trade of Cincin-

This firm recently was organized under the laws of Ohio by Theo-

buying fairly well, while railroads arc ytill waiting for tiuancial arrange-
ments to be made. Retailers are the i)cst customers and reports show
that their stocks are low and in many cases Imdiy broken. Dealers arc
inclined to buy for a longer time in the future as they realize thai tin-
nmrket is definitely on the up grade.
CINCINNATI
A decided improvement has developed in the hardwood market during
the past two weeks in so far as values are concerned. Most of the upper
grade itmis have increased from $5 to $S. due to the fact that the mills
are nnw accepting orders ni their tigures. buying which has been irreg-
ular and uncertain has beeonii' more active and indications point to a
better demand for the remainder of the year. The industrials in most
cases an- buying better than for months. Furniture concerns arc
buying rather briskly gum and other woods suited to their needs, llnx
factories are buying lower grade stocks in larger quantities. A general
survey of the trade discloses the fact that most wholesalers are inclined
to hold stocks for better prices because of the rising market. The higher
grades arc still scarce and with production unchanged there should be
a scramble for certain stocks soon. The export trade which has been
quite dull is showing more life and manufacturers feel confident that this
end of the industry will produce some fairly good business before the end
of fiscal year. Much of the hesitating maintained for a long time has
disappeared, users of hardwoods being now disposr-d to take up stocks on
a fairly lil)eral scale, instead of waiting until they could no longer delay
entering into new commitments. The oak flooring trade is about the
iirightest spot in the market. No. 1 and 2 <i»mmon are called for in fairly
large Idocks by the manufacturers. The impression in the local market
is that harilwoods will continue to rise in price, due to the fact that the
mills are away under production and are showing no indications of
increasing their output for the time being. Retailers report an increjise
in their trade and say that they are looking for a very nice fall and
winter business. In anticipation of this many are placing orders of
larger size than for many months in the past. The month of August
turned in a fairly larger volume of business than most lumbermen antici-
pate<l antl shoulil September and the remainder of the fall months prove
likewise the trade will wind uj> the year in good condition.
INDIANAPOLIS
With a continued demand from tlie construction interests and an
increase in <lemand from Ibe furniture factories, the hardwood situation
here looks better than it has looked for some time so far as demand
goes. There have been some price increases during the past two weeks
and the market is firm at the new high levels. There has been some
actual buying on the part of the furniture industry and many inquiries
from the same industry. The trade here believes that before another
fortnight these inquiries will turn into actual orders. The sash and
door, interior trim and flooring mills are working to capacity with every
indication of work all winter because of the phenomenal amount of resi-
dence and apartment construction. Though the season is getting late
projects are beins started at nearly the same rate as during midsummer and
a vast anuiunt is yet to be started. The business of the automobile body
plants hei-e and throughout the state is somewhat spotty and they are
buying only as they need material. IHstributiu's here, however, say there
has been an increase in tlie denu\nd from the wagon factories and farm
implement i)lants.
EVANSVILLE
Hardwood lumber manufacturers in Evansville and southern Indiana
are doing a larger volume of business than tl^ey did early in the summer
and both orders and inquiries have shown a nice improvement. Mills are
not running steadily, but it is expected that some of the mills that have
been closed down a greater part of the year will start up shortly at least
on part time. The demand for plain and quartered white oak. as well as
plain and quartered n-il oak and gum has been quite brisk during the past
two weeks. It is 4'Xpected that the deniand for gum will continue brisk
lor some time to come owing to the fact that the furniture factories are
being operated on better time and some of them have low stocks and it
will be necessary for them to stock up before long. Prices are holding
firm and little material change in prices is looked for this fall. There is
not as much low grade lumber on the market as there was early in the
season and this has tended to stabilize the market. Logs are coming
in freely from the south and other sections and the prices are rather high.
I'.ox factories are doing a better business than they were several months
ago. The general trade conditions in the city are gradually improving
and it is stated that there are fewer unemployed men in the city than
there were at the beginniuL; of tlie year.

so much better now than during; the past few months that it looks large
by comparison with the more recent average.
i'rires. ton, arc substantially higher, except in the case of No. '1 com-
nioii and lower. It is conceded that the advance during the past two
to three weeks has aniount(*d to $4 to $(! per thousand feet on Xo. 1

o;ik, ,N«i. 1 iiiniiiion and belter plain red gum. No. 1 coniiuon and better

and better poplar. The market is likewise reported in tirmer position in
the case of ash but the advance in this item has perhaps not been quite
so large as in the case of the other woods mentioned.
It develops that there is quite a pronounced shortage of No. 1 common
:iiid better plain white oak. The supply of No. 1 common red oak is somc-
wbal larger than in the case of white but offerings i-veu in this are by no
means large. 'I'he greatest scarcity at the moment appears to be in No. 1
it.mmon and better red gum. Some members of the trade say there are
only a few cars available in the whole city of Memphis and that efforts
lo buy in the interior are not meeting with very great suc-cess. One firm
here has recently asked 7;^ mills for quotations and offers on No. 1 common
plain red and white oak. Thirty -six replied, showing about 1,500.000
feet of white and about 3.000,000 feet of red. This is accepted as
indicating thai stocks in the hantis of interior nulls are not large by
any means.
The market has not only advanced as much as, or more than, already
indicated, but the temlency is also higher at the moment. Some owners
of phiiii white iiak. in No. 1 common, are holding their stock as high as .$50
wliile otliers are scaling their iirices down as low as $40 to $42 at
.Memphis. Sales have been made here as high as .$42. f. o. b. cars at this
point, while there have been reasonably large transactions in the interior
at prii-es .1*1 lo %'A below the Memphis basi'. There is a quite general
ilispnsilioii among owners of No. 1 eoinmon and better to stiffen their
ideas of value and it is freely predicteil that the advan<-e during the
current month will be larger than tb:it experienced during the past
several weeks.
Flooring nuiuufacturers are the best buyers of No. 1 common red and
white oak and they are beginning to realize that there is an element of
(binger in delaying their purchases. Sales are being made by wire and
hy telephone, indicating that there is less <lisposition to delay than here-
loforc. Furniture interests, too. arc in the market in a bigger way ami
ihcir purchases are large by comparison with the recent average. Man-
ufacturers of boxes and other wooden containers are also taking the
liiwer graijes in soniewbat larger volume but it is generally conceded that
I liere has lieen little appreciable increase in values. The lower grades
are under the handicap of very high freight rates which are preventing
their movement in volume into the channels heretofore open to them.
Wliolesale interests are in the market in a larger way. too. and alto-
gether demand is considered very much improved.
Interest centers largely in the freight rate contest now in progress
before tlif Interstate Commerce Commission. It is felt by members of
the trade here that If any substantial reduction in rates is made it will
do more than anything else to stimulate the market and bring about a
nearer approach to normal activity. Consuming interests, while buying
more freely, are undoubtedly delaying somewhat Iiecause of the belief
on their part that they will be the gainers by the decision which is con-
lidontly expected from the commission.
r)ne of the features of the market at the moment is the large amount
of export business. The American Overseas Forwarding (*ompany reports
the heaviest Itusiness with Europe during September recorded in a num-^
l)er <»f nu)nths and a very good showing is being made thus far this
month. It is pointed out that the recent ilecline in ocean freight rates
to Cniti'd Kingibun ports is proving a stimulating inlluence. One firm
here, which has never catered very largely to export demand, is author-
ity for the statement that fully 50 per cent of its business for September,
easily the best month of the year, was sold in foreign channels. Some
of the older export firms note that conditions, from a price standpoint
as well as from the standpoint of terms, are not favorable, but the fact
remains that export demand constitutes a notable featiire of the market
for siuithern hardwoods at the moment.
Inquiry fails to disclose any increase in activity eith. r in the woods
or at fhc mills.

ST. LOUIS
There has been a noticcalde "uplift" in the hardwood trade here. Gen-
eral <'on(Iitions are better. There are more Inquiries and more orders
and prices are better. Some buyers are buying now Tor stock; the
factories are still uncertain.
Number 1 commtui and ix'tter oak is the most active item and there
is an improvement in the dciiiaud for Xo. 2 common sap snm-^indicatinR
tlie liox factories are doin^ some business or anticipating: some.
The monthly report of tlu' Fruleral Reserve Dank coucerniny the lumber
trade states: — "The hardwood market remains quiet, but with business
slightly improved in comparison with a month ago. Delivered prices of
low prade hardwoods are so little in excess of freight charges that the
lumber is rendered unmarketable. Frequently the manufacturer cannot
realize loadinjj cost from such shipments, to say nothing cd' stumpage anil
cost of manufacture. This situation, due to the present level of freight
rates, is resulting in serio\is waste of lumber at mills that are operating.
Production remains at a wry low level in the hardwood districts."
It will be seen from the preceding paragraphs that while business
has shown an "uplift" there is nothing like a boom, or even resembling
a boom and there is no intention on the part of the informant of the
correspondent to create this impression. But things are better and that
is something.
Furniture factories are (.|)erating at from 65 to 70 percent of capacity.
Four plants which were idle in July have resumed part time. Export
trade continues dull, though in the past three weeks some fair orders
have been received frnm Mexico,
No great change in the building situation has taken place but contracts
In Augtist were about $1.0()0.(K)0 ahead of August. 1020,
NEW ORLEANS
Though the hardwood market has neither been enjoying the firmness
and steadiness of the cypress mai'lcet nor the sudden pronounced spurt
of tile pine niariiet. Iiotli nianufacturers and dealers in and about New
Orlejins report some improvement, varying in fiegree from very small to
decidedly pronounced, within the past fortnight. All in all, the tone of
optimism taken on hy the hardwood people of the extreme South two
weeks or more ago continues to grow slowly but steadil.v.
Prices, on the whole, have shown a slightly better tone, production is
picking up a ifttle and infiniries and demand show a decided increase.
The increase in demand for the better grades has been very pronounced
the past few days and the manufacturers report some slight improvement
in the movement of the inferior grades, also. Stocks of the lietter grades
are pretty badly iu'oken. while stocks of the commoner grades hav<'
decreased within the past two weeks from an estimated 100 per cent
above normal to anywhere from 75 to 50 per cent above normal.
The superabundance of stock of the lower grades is due in large part
to the fact that many pine mills, when first stung with depression early
last year, turned their attention to the manufacture of hardwood products.
Freight rates went up and nobody could sell, but much of this stuff is
clearing away now with the result that leading representatives of the
industry c-onfidently look forward to a substantial increase in the price
of lower grades at a not far distant date in addition to the slightly
better price tone the better grailes already are assuming.
The export movement, from which the lower grades are entirely elim
inated, still is small, Init considerable quantities of the superior grades
continue to move in a more or less spasmodic manner to the ITnitcd
Kin.gdom, lielginm. Cermany, France, Spain and Italy, with an occasional
order coming in from f'utia ami Mexico.
.\ number of the mills throughout Texas, Louisiana, Mis.sissippi anil
Arkansas are swinging back into action after being closed down for
several months, during which time most of them have been making
necessary repairs and improvements, hut from present indications pro
duction will not return to normal before Winter or possibly early next
Spring, while most of tliosi' now running have completely taliooed further
production of the inferior grades except where this stuff f;ills in the way
and has to be sawn up as a matter of necessity.
<ium hnnber seems to be the greatest favorite with the buyers at
present and tills is the kind, also, showing the greatest increase in price,
a number of New Orleans manufacturers reporting increases as high as
.$10 per thousand feet within the past fortnight. The upper grades of
oak and gum are very scarce, as these, along with ash, Cottonwood,
poplar and tupelo are moving with considerable freedom. Elm seems to
be the black sheep of the hardwood industry, it appearing that there is
at the present writing practically no demand whatever for tliis staple
Si>uthern hardwood.

The only ray of hope hardwood men in this district have seen in the
past two weeks has \>vvn an increase in the number of iniigiries. These

to know just how Rerious the buyers are. It is exiiected that the balance
"f the year will see a continuation of hanil-to-uunith buying, at least
manufacturers expect nothing better.
In reality, manufacturers have come to the conclusion that it is well
l<> forget about normal conditions of three or four years ago before the
war had njiset all precedents and reconcile themselves to the tact that
new standards have been set and they must establish a new normal.
Many of the hardwood men look for steadily improved conditions, although
they will be slow. Among this number is Rex Browne, manager of the
liardwood department of the Keaumont Lumber company and one of the
best posted hardwood men in the country. Mr. Browne entered the game
in Canada, and has operated practically all the way to the gulf coast.
"The slow movement at the present time," said Mr. Browne, "can be
attributed hugely to frantic buying last year. Manufacturers .stocked
up on liigli priced stuft' and they are going to work this off before they
again get into the market further than to fill in from time to time as
their own stocks become broken.
"Wholesale prices of all commodities, and this includes yellow pine,
advai d during the past week. This does not mean that the gouging
period is to come again, but shows that many commodities were forced
down below the cost of replacement and that they are now reaching
their proper level. Nothing could be more convincing that business has
reaeheil a stable liasis and what we have to produce will sell for what
it Is wortli and not be subject to the mercy of feverish conditions. There
is no reason why hardwood should not eventually fall into this category.
"One trouble with hardwood has been high freight rates. There is a
big difference in the weight of hardwood and yellow pine, giving the
latter a better opportunity to come back quickly. Purchasing agents
ilo not seem to realize that if freight rates are reduced, the broadened
demaxid will take up the slack.
"The increased demand for pine, of course, is brought about by the
building activity. Hardwood does not come in on this movement to a
great extent until it comes to furnishings. The same can be said of
hardwood flooring. The first demand comes when the foundation is
laid and tliat calls for yellow pine. Hardwood flooring and finishing
is the last thing used. Every new house means some new furniture, if
not complete furnishings, and this is where the hardwood man will benefit
most. L'nfortunately there is but one outlet for hardwood consumption.
"Furniture is rather quiet at present and it may take some little time
for the building activity to, bring about a market change. There has
been an increase in railroad buying to a certain extent, but this movement
has not developed any great volume.
"The demand from box factories is governed by wholesalers in markets
which require packages. Any increase in this demand can be traced to
a general improvement in business conditions. The agricultural imple-
ment and vehicle trade is one big outlet for hardwood which is dominated
l>y the crop condition. This is improving. Production continues at the
lowest level in the history of the industry.
"Taken altogether the outlook is good. I don't mean there will be a
radical change for the better to-morrow or next day, but the market
should be gradually picking up. Present stock conditions are the result
of hardwood working back to its proper level. One thing is certain and
that is the day of the amateur mill has passed. There will be no more
peckerwood plants throughout the country. The outlook for hardwood
after we get through present unfortunate conditions is strong, g4>>d."
TORONTO
Allhough the lumber industry is slij^htly more active no great value of
business is being done. A lumberman with important interests in North-
ern Ontario states that his company proposes to operate actively in the
woods during the coming winter. When the depression came many cus-
tomers ceased buying and he had to look around for markets. In other
words he had to hustle. He wrote down his inventories and took his
losses. LHid then found a good market for his products in the United
States and Creat Britain. That market has kept him busy right along.
Operating costs in the woods are now much reduced, as men are plentiful
and much more efficient, and can be had at $26 to $32 and board, com-
]iared with $70 and $75 last year. Reports received by the head office
nf the Imperial Bank in Toronto, from the branch managers recently,
have put some emphasis on the activity in lumber production. The Riordon
i'ompany is still cutting logs in the vicinity of Hawkosbury but their
operations may cease on account of low water. The mills at Kenora and
Thessalon are still operating, those at the latter being on a 12-hour
shift, with prospects of continuing until late in the fall. Some improve-
ment is reported in the demand for hardwood in various towns and
cities in the province owing to fall building and in the larger centres a
i^ood deal of construction in the way of new dwellings is going on,
although the volume is not sufficiently great to restore normal business
conditions in the trade. Retailers are only ordering such stocks as they
have immediate need for and there is little movement towards replenish-
ing stocks in the yards. With the wholesalers September was just an
average month and although inquiries have increased transactions have
been small in volume. Conditions in the wood working, furniture fac-
tories and other hardwood using plants has undergone a little change
for the better and a number of thorn that have been closed for some time
are now running, which should improve demand somewhat.

Hoosier Self Feed Rip Saw. This machine has earned thousands
of dollars for owners in the manufacture of dimension lumber, crating,
etc., because its entirely novel design, resulting in surprising ease of
operation and adaptability, makes possible a profit where a lo»« ••

Hoosier Self-Feed Rip Saw
has a positive and powerful feed which handles the heaviest material
as readily as the lightest.
The table, raised and lowered with the crank in front of the ma-

The Hoosier rips anything up to 6 inches thick and 17 inches wide.
It feeds 35, 75, 100 or 150 feet a minute.

We Offer
Honest Lumber Guaranteed by Our Brand
There is a definite money saving value in buying lumber known to be not
merely within the grade but actually to contain every board that originally
belonged there — with not a piece picked out. Not content to merely say that
is our practice, we brand every board made so there can be no question. This
policy is only in keeping with all the other steps in our manufacturing.
Our timber was selected from the famous St. Francis Basin, Missouri district;
our mill designed for the most perfect manufacture ; our yard built on scientific
principles insuring perfect drying always. To render this service most readily
usable our Unique Stock List is so designed as to make easy the selection
of necessary items in all descriptions of southern hardwoods. Write for it.
