North west Mills Helpless. Responsive tv» request* recent ly made, the folkiwing sluteineut is made liv President K \\ . Yiuuedge, of Ihe West Const Lumbermen's ussncist iou , with Ihe thought llmt ns npprviximntely Of» per cent of the |myr>»ll of Ihe western purls of the slates of Oregon mid Washington is dependent upon the prosperity of Ihe lumber industry, eon ditious affecting this industry would lie of general public interest; “ Operating conditions during the pnst eight months huvo boon most dil firult. Large storks were carried over ou account of stuck demand Inst year, whieh have |>tuu>eil to consumption slowly. Production during tho year has boon far from normal with rouse queut reduced payrolls and resultant lessened buying power, whieh has been felt by nil lines of trade ilcpoadcnt upon the largest industry of these states. “ Stocks todnv are slightly below normal. Although coals have only vie creased 35 |»or rent, sales price« urn to per rent lielovv |»enk price«. Other items entering into the cost of build tug have uot boon sufficiently reduce.• which, unfortunately for those depend cut upon the lumber industry, has d laved the return of prosperity until such factors, including building labor, accept reductions which will In nlor • satisfactory to the buying public. Fat ther delay by such building factors in getting in line with present commbditv values is delaying the return of pro perity which means to the states of Oregon uud Washington increased |mv rolls anil the consequent prosperous conditions felt by' general business fol lowing the increased buying power "* those given employment by the lumber industry of the northwest. “ A survey recently taken among west coast mills to ascertain the extent of the Fourth of July clone dowu r< vealh that over 50 |« t cent of Ihe null* will close approximately ten days. This ap|inivnt eagerness to operate may be misinterpreted by those not familiar with present conditions in the industry. Briefly, these conditions are the most serious the northwest mills have faced in the past dccudc. Railroad rates have I m ; cii advanced to the |Kiint which is very directly reflected in the sale of lumlicr. The northwest is parti ‘n larlv affected as a result. It ships it- lumber 2200 miles before renrhing the renter of |Mipiilntion and the freight ou that lumber v'uuals, mid in main cases exceeds, the f. o. b. mill price of the lumber. “ The average sawmill cannot close down without maintaining a certain organization. It costs the average null to #tifHMi every month it remains idle— many nulls two or three times this amount. I f operation can be con t¡lined mol route near this mark it will be done, even to the extent o f losing slightly more, because |>y sn doing it maintains its organ ¡ration, gives cm ployment to its men and retains its trade built up over u period of years. “ The solution o f present conditions lies in but slight part in the hands of the Imulicr operator* themselves. First, the northwest must have rail rates to its consuming territory which will per init it to compete with the sooih—our keenest corn|M-t ¡tor. There is much vve can do in securing a higher average sabs price for our lumber. This are are endeavoring to bring about through the West Count Forest I’rod nets bureau, which is the market ex tension activity of the northwest luui ber industry. We must increase the use of lumber. The output in the United States is greater than Ihe nor tual demand. The p-r capita ronsump tion of lumber hits dropped from 531 feet ill |9M to SIC feet I I I 1919 Thi tells the story. We must do what our com|ietitors are doing; namely, adver tise our product. This the lumber in dustry is doing through the National Lumber Manufacturer*’ association, which is launching a campaign to por tray the real facts and problems of the industry as well ns the virtue of our west coast products. “ This is one of the activities re cently mentioned by the federal com mission us being grounds for a run grcssional investigation. Not wit hstand mg this heckling altitude of the com mission, the industry will take this obviously business like method-to ex |doit its product. “ We are endeavoring to maintain an eight hour day, when all our com petitors are on a ten hour basis. We are maintaining a iniiiiinum wage scale of #3 a day. In the south the mini mum wage is 90c to #1.50 a dny for ten hours. ‘ With a limited demand for lumber, if. is obvious from the foregoing facts that the northwest lumber industry is at a distinct disadvantage. Wc must meet the handicap by reducing costs and securing greater efficiency. Labor has taken it considerable reduction nnd doubtless must take more. The state merit by a Washington labor rep resentative in Denver last week to the effect that “ unbridled wage slash in g ’ ’ is reported as being carried on in this stale is mischievous and cal culnted to prejudice the minds of labor against aeceptiag the neesnary dcfla tion from the peak which every com modify must and will accept before we can again realize the impetus of a revival. From this same representn live is heralded through the country the “ corrupt |Militicnl situation in Washington, due to the fact that the state legislature is dominated by lumber interests,” which is so ob viously puerile as to require no denial He admits the iudiistiial conditions in the state are demoralised, which is about the only rational deduction to be found in the whole interview, le-t him assist in solving the problem by constructive nets rather than by iron oc lasfi<- m i s re present at ion. “ The northwest lumber industry realizes and res|M-rts the ‘ living stand ard of the workmen’ by paying higher wages nnd working less hours than any other lumber producing region in the United Mtates. Public opinion, includ ing organized Inbor, should rebuke the uncalled for attack upon this common wealth and upon the largest industry in the state.” # Out* si 11 «t 11 ¡turn \vi‘ have liceii unable to buy: Feet, .¡list received. » Racine Stocking An outing or work suit for mm only $12.00.
