RECENT PRODUCTION LARGE
o Intimation Is Given as to Dispo
sition of 30,000 Enlisted Men
Employed, in Industry.-
Finis was written yesterday to the
part that spruce and fir forests of the
Pacific Northwest have played in the
war, when orders were issued by the
Spruce Production Oivision to cease at
once practically all activities in air
craft work among the camps and mills.
All shipments of spruce and fir cants
to the huge cup-up plant at Vancouver,
Wash., were halted by the order, while
no more' airplane material ehipments
are to be made. Similar orders stopped
nearly all logging operations, and in
structed that falling of airplane timber
was to cease at once.
All construction work on the va
rious projects of the aircraft pro
gramme have been stopped with the
exception of the logging- road on the
Olympic Peninsula, which lacked but
a few miles of completion. In every
phase of the tremendous war-time in
dustry, which fledged tho eagles ol
America and her allies, the feverish
activity of the past year is succeeded
by absolute abandonment of aircraft
work.
Thousands Deprived of Work.
Orders were issued by Colonel
Stearns, chief of staff of the spruce
production division, in the absence of
Brigadier-General Brice I. Disque.
commander of the division, who Is now
In conferenre at "Washington, I. C.
Little could be learned yesterday of
the possible disposition of the 30,000
enlisted men and the host of lumbermen
and loggers of the Loyal Legio'n, who
are suddenly deprived of their employ
ment. The soldiers, it was learned,
have not been removed from the oamps,
and will remain at their present sta
tions until further orders are received.
It is probable that the division will be
kept intact and its enlisted personnel
be retained until definite ratification
of tho peace terms prompts their de
mobilization. Reernt Production Huec.
Spruce and fir production were rap
idly approaching the zenith when the
countermanding orders were received.
Pledged to a goal of 1.000,000 feet per
day, the spruce production division
wquld have realized this end not later
than next month, it is said. Shipments
of clear airplane stock in October to
taled far more than 20,000.000 feet, and
the pain in productive efficiency was
still in progress.
Many operators hastened to Portland
yesterday and plied headquarters with
questions relative to the discontinuance
order. They declare that a serious con
dition confronts them in the quantity of
airplane stock and the volume of prop
erty they have on hand and invested
in the industry.
When the call was raised for produc
tion of airplane stock on a vast scale
for the winiiing of the war, the output
of spruce had never passtl the mark of
2.500,000 feet a month. The needs of the
United States and its allies were im
perative, and precedents were smashed
in the rapid construction of the pro
ducing organization.
Spruec Investment? Heavy.
Labor troubles through the medium
of tho I. "V. "W. agitators, which threat
ened the effectiveness of the .work,
were nipped in the bud at an early
hour. Organization of the Loyal
Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen
strangled the incipient dissent ion and
brought men and employers closely to
gether in the common cause.
It is estimated that the value of the
investment in spruce production ap
proximator $10,000,000. Discussion is
already afoot concerning tho possibility
that much of this perfected organiza
tion and equipment may be applied to
the airplane industry which is pre
dicted to endure after the war.
Pacific Oprratorn to Meet.
To consider the problems presented
by the cancellation of deliveries, a
meeting of the West Coast Lumber
men s Association has been called to
meet in Portland on Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock, at the Multnomah Hotel.
The call was made by K. B. Allen, sec
retary of the association, from Seattle.
Lumbermen from every point in Ore
gon and Washington, interested in the
aircraft orders, will attend the meet
ing, with heavy delegations from Puget
Sound and Grays Harbor districts. At
the meeting messages will be delivered
from Ralph Angell, of the association's
spruce bureau, who is now following
tne trentr or events in Washington.
IX C.
The members of the association pro-
teat that, with vast Stocks of material
on hand, the cancellation of deliveries
jeopardizes the industry and their in
vestment, while throwing thousands of
men out of employment without notice.
They are unanimous in declaring the
situation to be a critical one from th
viewpoint of those who have lent every
effort to the aircraft production pro
gramme, and who, as the result, now
find their industries heavily over
stocked with material and equipment.

UNITED. WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
Been Selling, City Chairman
Everett Amen, City Manager
that all the information now available
has been civen the sprue production
office in Portland. The War Depart
ment says that no announcement will
be made now as to the future of npruce
production or the procedure with re
gard to airplane construction.
Mr. Disque leaves for Oregon tonight.
COOS OPERATORS ARE DAZED
Chief Coast Industry Hard Hit by
Federal Order.
MARSlIFlliLD, Or.. Nov. 13. (Spe
cial. ) Colonel Lisque"s order cancel
ing all airplane lumbering and cutting
came as a big surprise la.st night. To
day the mill and logging operators and
timber owners were dazed.
.Mill men in particular, are at sea
regarding the immediate future of
lumbering, although most managers
declare the results will not be dis
astrous. The entire milling industry
of Coos County was engaged in the
aeroplane programme and some mills
were running entirely on spruce.
The mill most vitally hit is the Sitka
Spruce Company at Coquille, which
has been running wholly on Govern
ment orders for spruce. Th-5 Jsorth Bend
Mill fc Lumber Company devoted a
large percentage of its milled lumber
to this avenue. Other mills that are
affected include the C. A. Smith main !
and East Side mills; Kuhner and Hay
Park, North Bend and the Oregon Kx-
port mill, on Jsthmus Inlet.
The great plans of the Government
for opening the Boutin spruce tract
and placing 2000 men on the job are !
also abandoned and some of the ol- 1
diers will be returned to camp at once.
One of the biggest lodging camps
on the Coast. that of McDonald &
Vaughan, who opened three or four
months ago, in the Southe n Oregon
apruce belt on the Coos Bay Peninsula,
is vitally concerned in the closing down
order and it is not known whether they
will continue or not.
SPKVCK It A ITS LKFT OX BOOMS
ICnd T . Aircraft Will Xol Ho Up
Any Towboats.
Suspension of spruce production
throughout the district, nVrdered yes
terday by tho War Department, lavea
at least two towboat fleets with rafts
of spruce logs in their booms, the
Shaver Transportation Company and
Hopford Transportation Company each
having about 15 rafts. They were
brought from tho lower river to held
until required at the Monarch mill, on
North Portland harbor, which has been
operated by the Sprure Dl vision, also
for the Multnomah mill, in South Tort
land, where spruce .stock was turned
out.
Material that passed through the
Government spruce cut-up plant at
Vancouver Barracks was sent there by
railroad, so that plant did not figure
In any of the towing facilities on the
river. The amount of spruce towed
for the Monarch and Multnomah mills
has not bcn any material percentage
of the rafts towed hre for other plants
using fir, so the end of the spruce
work will not retire any of the steam
era.
North Rend Mills Affected.
NORTH BEND. Or., Nov. 13. .(Spe
cial.) That a general curtailment In
the production of spruce for airplane
material is to be made by the Govern
ment immediately, as a result of the
termination of the war, is Indicated by
telegraphic information received by the
local mills and lumber concerns revok
lug all existing contracts for spruce.
Tho order probably will rcnult In caus
ing a temporary reduction of output of
two of the mills of the city.
It Is estimated that there In upward
of 20.000.ooo fet of lumber piled in the
yards of the three' mills here, and that
a large percentage of this amount is
siderut or surplus from Government
orders.
