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.

Judgre Wolverton Decides That Ac
ceptinjr Benefits of Act Is
Matter of Preference.
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."

ENTRANCE CLASSES BIG
Portland Total Is Nearly 35,000
With Two Schools Missing.
Large entrance classes in the high
schools and grades swelled Portland's
attendance roll on the opening day
of the second term to more than
35,000. Exact figures could not be
obtained owing to failure of Glen
haven and GJencoe to report, but the
totals received by 5 o'clock in the
city superintendent's office showed
34.5S7. It is estimated that the two
other schools have about 650 pupils.
The opening day of the January
term last year showed 32,269 children
in school, and last September there
were 31,894. All high schools, with
the exception of James John, show
an increase. Attendance at Benson
Polytechnic has jumped from 390 last
January to 84o this semester.
