Fl IK CUTS
OUTPUT OF LUMBER
Manufacturers of North
west Face Problem.
SHUTDOWN CONSIDERED
Rain Needed in Sufficient Quan
tities to Wet Grass and Tim
ber and Quench Blazes.
The problem lumbermen of the
northwest today are facing is that
of fire. The long dry spell which
has made the forests like so much
tinder has been responsible for fires
that have destroyed thousands of
dollars' worth of valuable timber.
There is hardly a logging camp that
has been able to run Bteadiiy on ac
count of fire menace. Continually
on. guard must be a number of men
to protect the camps and timber
against possible fires.
This situation Is materially cut
ting down the output of logs. What
is needed, above all things. Is rain
In sufficient quantities to wet thor
oughly the grass and tinfber in ad
dition to quenching the fire's that
are already burning.
There is strong talk among the
lumbermen of Washington . of fol
lowing the suggestion of Governor
Hart and closing down until a rain
comes. Some opposition to the sug
gestion is being found around Grays
Harbor, but from all indications it
is apparent that many of the oper
ators will close their camps and use
their men to guard against fires.
Production Cut Dow n.
Xturing the last ten days the pro
duction of Oregon's mills has been
cut down approximately 350,000 feet
a day through fire damage. The
Booth-Kelly mill at Wendling,
which burned in the middle of the
week, had a daily output of between
160,000 and 175,000 feet, and other
destroyed mills brought the loss to
the state's production to a much
higher figure.
Generally speaking, however, pro
duction continues to be heavy
throughout the northwest, and for
the week ending July 1, according
to the West Coast Lumbermen's as
sociation, it was 7 per cent above
normal. New business was 6 per
cent below production, but this can
be accounted for through the fact
that" it is a between-season period.
Lumbermen do not anticipate any
great increase in orders before the
crops have been harvested.
There is a strong demand for lum
ber from most sections of the United j
States. Orders are coming in daily
from most all domestic sources ex
cept the agricultural districts. The
Atlantic coast is taking great car
goes of lumber out of this and other
ports of the northwest each day. A
building campaign is on in full
swing "in the east and efforts are
being made to solve the problem of
congested housing conditions. The
revival in manufacturing lines has
had the effect of stimulating build
ing in those sections dependent
upon such industry and the mills
of the northwest are feeling the ef
fects. ' Association In Arms.
The West Coast Lumbermen's as
sociation is up in arms oVer the re
cent action of the United States sen
ate in keeping shingles on the free
list and placing a $1 duty on the
raw materials from which shingles
are made. The senathas said, ac
cording to the association, that
American lumber manufacturers
cannot go to Canada for their raw
materials but that shingles made in
Canada can come in free.
A bulletin ' issued by the associa
tion contains the following sum
mary of the shingle situation as
It is:
"The 50-cent duty on shingles
would not have affected the volume
Of Canadian-made shingles coming
into American markets. It merely
would have equalized competitive
conditions; and, at the same time,
provided the government with suf
ficient revenue to finance, say the
federal trade commission for a pe
riod of one year; or, to have fi
nanced the free distribution of seeds
by congressmen for a period of
three years.
"The manufacturing lumber in
dusty did not ask any protective
duty except on shingles. It urged
B0 cents there for the purpose of
giving American manufacturers and
American was-e ftampra el.-.
gle industry an even break against
British Columbia's cheaper raw ma
terial, cheaper labor and longer
working hours.
Beginning ot Knd Seen.
"Shingles have been on the' free
list since October, 1913, during
which time several hundred small
shingle mills in the states of Wash
ington and Oregon have gone out of
commission, while the British Co
lumbia shingle industry has in
creased 300 per cent, with approxi
mately 85 per cent of Canadian pro
duction sold in American markets
without American consumers having
any benefit in the way of lower
prices by reason of free shingles.
"The action of the senate is prob
ably the beginning of the end of the
shingle industry on the American
side. Without a tariff duty equal
izing British Columbia competition
it will not be possible for many of
the smaller mills to continue unless
they go back to the 10-hour day at
reduced wages and that is some
thing that both the American manu
facturer and. American shingle mill
employe are dead set against.
"The shingle industry on the
American side has not been a profit
able business. This is well illus
trated by the fact that the manu
facturers owning mills on both sides
of the international border have
been operating their British Colum
bia plants steadily while their
American mills have been closed.
"The 18 votes favorable to the
shingle tariff were from the farm
' bloc, although 13 farm bloc repub
licans voted against the duty. It is
Interesting to note, in connection
with that vote, that the shingle in
dustry has been a great factor in
the farm development of Oregon and
Washington by reason of having en
abled settlers to earn a living dur
ing the years their land was being
cleared and prepared for agricul
tural uses.
"Our advice from Washington, D.
C, is that there is little hope for
reconsideration 'of the senate's ac
tion." Ship Reports by Radio.

USSMER PRAISES
ES
Balanced Merchant Fleet Is
Declared Aim.
POLICY , IS ADVOCATED
Protection f6r Shipping Industry
Declared Needed More
Than Any Other.
The passage of the merchant ma
rine act of 1922, providing for gov
ernment aid for American vessels,
was upheld by Meyer Lissner, ship
ping board commissioner, now in the
city in connection with the hearing
which is to start today. . The act
was favored as a means of using the
present merchant, fleet of the coun
try as a nucleus around which, to
create a balanced merchant marine
sufficient to insure adequate car
riage of American goods in time of
peace and adequate maintenance of
military forces In time of war.
Mr. Lsner said that the problem
of building up the American mer
chant marine was simply the tradi
tional one of the fostering of Ameri
can industries.
Foreign Competition Fought.
"For generations the policy of
this government has been to protect
against foreign competition the
American industry, what required
protection, but the shipping indus
try, which is the basis upon which
all other countries depend and which
needs and is entitled to protection
more than any other, has had prac
tically no' protection at all," he said.
"Every argument ever put forth for
the protection of any other Ameri
can industry may be employed many
fold in favor of every possible gov
ernmental aid to merchant shipping
under the American flag."
Mr. Lissner said that American
ships, like American industries, are
handicapped by the higher wages
that must be paid to labor in this
country. This, he declared, Is re
flected not alone in the higher first
cost of ships but in the higher cost
of the wages and subsistence of the
crews while the ship is in operation.
Differential Is Large.
He estimated that for the ordinary
10,000-ton tramp ship these items
would mean an annual differential
against the American ship of more
than $30,000 a year in comparison
with a British ship of the same size
and type. When the comparison
is made with Japanese or Scandi
navian wage scales the difference is
greatly accentuated, he declared.
"It is essential that our ships be
built in this country in order to pre-,
serve our shipyards as a real means
of national defense and as an impor
tant national industry and in order
that the shipbuilding art In this
country may not be lost," he said.
"It is also essential that American
ships should carry as large a per
centage of American citizens as
practicable in the crews.
"Both these propositions are in
voked because it takes both ships
and men to constitute a merchant
marine naval auxiliary and, since
American ships cost more and the
wage of American crews is higher
and the shipowner is therefore not
able to compete with foreign flag
ships, it is in the Interest of the
nation as a whole to give such rea
sonable aid to the American ship
owner and operator as would put
him on a fairly competitive basis.
Plan Embodied In Bill.
"For these reasons the adminis
tration has proposed a plan which
has been embodied in the bill now
before congress. The plan briefly is
that the national government should
extend to ships owned by American
citizens and manned with a pre
scribed number of Americans a cer
tain amount of direct aid to make up
in part for the difference in operat
ing costs that the American flag in
volves. Certain indirect aids also
are proposed which are chiefly in
tended to remove obstacles and
handicaps under which our competi
tors do not suffer.
"The bill which is called the mer
chant marine act of 1922 provides
that the aid shall not be extended
to any ship if she can make a rea
sonable profit through the influence
of the indirect aids, or otherwise.
without subsidy. Whenever in any
year a fleet makes a profit of 10 per
cent or more on its actual invest
ment (not on watered stock) all
above that percentage is divided
with the government until the- full
amount of subsidy paid has been re
turned.
Construction Loan Provided.
"To encourage the construction of
needed types of ships, the bill pro
vides for a construction loan fund
of $125,000,000 to be raised by the
shipping board out of the liquida-

Mr. Lissner said that it was. pro
posed as soon as It may be practi
cable to insist that at least half of
the immigrants coming to this coun
try come under the Stars , and
Stripes. This immigrant business,
he said, has been the mainstay in
the building up of the great trans
Atlantic passenger routes.
In commenting upon the schedule
of direct aid provided in the bill,
Mr. Lissner said:
"For ships of less 'than 12 knots
trial speed the compensation, is at
the- rate of cent per gross ton
per 100 miles steamed. For ships
of more than this speed it increases
up to the maximum of 2.8 cents per
ton per 100 miles, in the case of a
vessel of 23 knots or above. The
minimum size of vessel that receives
aid is 1500 tons, in the case of the
power-driven vessel, and 1000 tons
in the case of a sailing ship.
Cost $50,000,000 Annually.
"Under present conditions the
fleet which is costing the govern
ment $50,000,000. a year to operate
would receive, under the plan pro
posed, but $8,500,000 per annum in
subsidy; the entire remaining pri
vate fleet of the country that is or
could be used in foreign trade would
receive less than $7,000,000, or a
total of about $15,000,000 if the bill
were in effect and the entire gov
ernment fleet now operating were
at once disposed of and operated pri
vately. TTot a fi.r nf 7.500.000 erross tone.
costing between $400,000,000 and
S500.000.000 to construct ana con
sidered adequate for peace and war
needs of this country, he said that
the annual cost in direct aid would
not exceed $32,000,000.
In reply to arguments of those
who cite England as an example of
a country with the biggest mer
chant marine in the world main
tained with an absence of restric
tive or protective shipping legisla
tion, he declared that it was not
until England had a practical mo
nopoly of the carrying trade of the
world that she relaxed and repealed
rigid navigation laws.

It is doubtful if there is another com

of all business as paper. It is the universal
medium of communication and recording

Newspapers are the largest consumers
of paper. Newsprint is the principal

This locality probably his more of the
requisite requirements for tbe manufac
ture of newsprint than any place on the
Pacific coast. There is .unlimited timber
supply, hydro-electric power at low cost,
sawmill waste for fuel, rail as well as wa

STATEMENT OF JULY 1ST READING
AS FOLLOWS:
"In this case the conflict is not between the employer and the
oppressed employes. The people of this country, through an act
of congress, signed by President Wilson, established a tribunal
to decide such disputes over wages and working conditions, which
are submitted to it in a proper maimer. It is the decision of this
tribunal against which the shop crafts are striking.
"Regardless of any question of the right of the men to strike
the men who take the strikers' placesvare merely accepting the
wages'and workipg conditions prescribed by a government tribunal
and are performing a public service. They are not accepting the
' wages and working conditions which an employer is trying to .
impose. For this reason public sentiment and full government
power will protect the men who remain in their positions and new.
men who may come in." , '
Adequate provisions have been made for the full pro
tection of all new employes, the same as old employes
who have remained loyally at work. Applicants should
apply to the office of the superintendent at Portland

FOREST FIRES
"QUIET" OXIiY WORD SENT
PATROIi HEADQILARTERS.
Outlook in Washington Also- Bet
.ter, According to Reports
of Last Few Days.
The forest fire situation had
quieted down considerably, over
Sunday. In all the fire districts
"quiet" was the only word sent in
to patrol headquarters. No reports
whatever were received yesterday
by the government forestry offi
cials. The indication was that con
ditions in the reserves were the
same as several days ago. What
fires had been located were small
and scattered, so that they could
be controlled more or less easily
by a few men.
In Washington, where the situa
tion had been most alarming, re
ports of the last few days agreed
that tile outlook was better. Large
burns in all parts of the state had
lost their impetus through the
efforts of large fighting crews who
had been on the Job constantly.
Logging operations had been halted
in some section of the state, but no
long delay was 'expected, except
where expensive equipment had
been destroyed.
The large fire at Cochran, which
has been the center of attention for
several days, was said to be well in
hand. It was found that the Re
liance camp of the Wheeler Lumber
company, which had' been reported
wiped out by a sweeping blaze, lost
only two buildings and a bridge. The
main part of the camp was saved,
said a report from the Tillamook
district agent of .the Forest Fire
Patrol association.
In Columbia county, excitement
over the alarming situation had
greatly subsided. The fires were
scattered and were being kept out
of virgin timber. Fighters there
seemed to have all of the fires well
controlled. No alarms of new fires
were received from that district.
The demand for this company's product
continues to exceed the supply, and the
output which is practically double that of
last year, has been contracted for at satis
factory prices for the next four years.
These favorable conditions coupled with
good management enabled the company to
show net earnings for 1921 of more than
11.9 times interest on bonds outstanding
for that period. If the interest charges
on this issue were also included, the earn
ings would represent five times the total
interest charges.
These facts give strength to an invest
ment in Washington Pulp & Paper, Cor
poration First Mortgage 6z SinkingFund
Gold Bonds, Series of 1941. The price is
