LUMBER REVIVAL WAITS ON

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.”
