2( THE MOItXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, JANUARY 2T, 1920 EARLY . BOX ORDERS ARE RECOMMENDED Fruit Growers and Canners Receive Warning. LUMBER STOCKS LOWER Representatives of Milfcs Hold Con ference and Discuss Problems Sow Confrontinjr. Fruit growers and cannery com panies that use supplies of boxes in which to ship their products should ordrr their boxes at once in order to insure having them. Such was the warning sounded yesterday at a meet ing of 40 box manufacturers and lum bermen from the five states of Ore gon. Washington, Idano, Montana and California and from British Colum bia. ". The session, which was held at the Multnomah hotel, continued throughout the day and problems in connection with the manufacture of boxes were taken up. Owing to the unusual demand for lumber at this time, particularly from the east, and owing to the lack of old slock in the yards, box manufacture has not been given the attention usu ally accorded it by lumber manufac turers, it was brought out, and much small timber that hitherto has been useful for little else than box lumber has been sold for the building indus try. In the face of this condition lumbermen and box manufacturers express fear that unless growers and canners order their boxes early they will be unable, to get them at the end of the season, the timber having been sold out to the building industry in this section and in the east. Mill Are Represented. The session yesterday was the first for the box manufacturers, having been called by George M. Cornwall editor of the Timberman, Portland. The mill capacity for cutting up lum ber into box sizes along the Pacific roast is given at 6,000,000 feet per ay, and nearly every mill of large Mze engaged in the business had representative present. Mr. Corn wall called the meeting to order, and introduced K. K. Young of Fresno, Cal.. manager of the lumber depart ment of the California Peach Grow ers' association of California, who presided throughout the day. In view of the fact that a meeting of the National Canners' association and allied organizations is being held in Cleveland, O- this week and that indications point to an increased pro duction of all knids of fresh, dried and canned fruits throughout the country, bringing a demand for more box lumber, it was voted at the meet ing hero to send a telegram to the Cleveland convention advising th representatives there of the possible shortage of box lumber and urging early ordering. Standardization Taken Up. The matter of standardization of boxes was discussed at some length but the only action taken was a res olution urging that during the pres ent shortage it be left to the option of the manufacturer whether one or two-piece ends, one or two-piece sides and two or three-piece bottoms and tops be provided for apple boxes and packing cases for canned goods. The system in vogue in California whereby each box manufacturer is guided by a uniform table in determining the lumber footage in boxes, instead of each man determining the footage on his own basis, was discussed, but no action was taken. A committee to consider this matter further was named, consisting of J. P. Keating, K. D. Rowley and George M. Cornwal of Portland, W. C. Cram of Raymond, !'. M. Crego of Spokane and George K. Chaffee of Vancouver, B. C. The following were present at the meeting: OeorKO P. Story. J. B. Knapp, J. P. Xeating. W. c. Geddes, S. C. Eschin, K. D. Rowley, J. W. Harrison, tieorge l. .

Federal Judge Wolverton yesterday morning ruled in favor of the plain tiff in the case of Herman F. Rhod against the Grant Smith-Porter Shi company for damages in the sum of 10,000 for injuries received last April when his back was broken in a fall from a ship of that plant. Judge Wolverton's decision in effect is that there must be compensation outside the state act in admiralty cases. "Judge Wolverton's decision is th first of its kind," said Lee Roy E. Keeley, attorney for Rhode, "and spe clfically holds that a workman in jured on the navigable waters of th United States need not accept th workmen's compensation act award but may sue his employer for dam ages. -The compensation act is not appli cable, even though the workman an his employer may be operating under it, unless the workman prefers to take that award instead of suing, i which case the court holds that he ha the right to do so. In this case, th maximum that Mr. Rhode could hi obtained under this act would hav been J30 a month. The effect of th decision is far-reaching and concerns every shipyard in Oregon."
