Government, Says Mr. Allen, Has It
In Its Power to End Coast Strikes
by Declaring Eight-Hour
Day Universal.
Douglas fir, Oregon, spruce and other
Western woods will have an Impor
tant part in bringing the war to a
successful conclusion, said Robert T.
Allen, secretary of the West Coast
Lumber Association, who was in Port
land yesterday on his way to his home
ia Seattle from San Francisco.
Mr. Allen was in consultation here
yesterday with Federal forestry offi
cers over the shipment of a carload
of Douglas fir logs to Madison, Wis.,
where they are to be tested in the
Government laboratories to determine
whether fir can be used as a supple
ment to spruce for airplane stock.
"If . this experiment is successful."
commented Mr. Allen, "it will be one
of the biggest victories for Douglas
fir that we have achieved in a long
time. Obviously the Government tests
will be most severe. The wood must
meet every requirement before it can
be accepted for the delicate and impor
tant assignment of aircraft construc
tion. Ue of Fir Is Growing.
"We believe that Douglas fir will fill
the bilL The uses to which our fir
can be put are growing in number at
every test."
Mr. Allen has but recently returned
from Washington, D. C, where he
parsed three or four months in almost
constant conference with' Federal 'of
ficials on various " problems affecting
. the use of fir in Government work.
It was largely through his efforts that
the west coast manufacturers secured
the contract with the Government for
16S.000.000 feet of ship timber, at .$35.
per thousand, and a series of orders
for the ' Army cantonments at Des
Moines, American Lake and other
places.
- But a .development that is particu
larly pleasing to Mr. 'Allen and other
Douglas fir people is t"he 'action of
Southern shipbuilders in coming to the
fir market for part of their material.
The sSouthern builders are .unable
to get Southern pine timbers long
enough for their biggest dimensions,
so they have come into the local mar
ket for 167.000 feet for each ship. It
only goes to show, Mr. Allen points
out. that in a supreme test, such as
shipbuilding, fir will win every time.
Pine Still Is Competitor.
Southern pine continues to be the
principal competitor of Douglas fir in
the markets of the Middle West and
the Chicago territory, and for that rea
son. Mr. Allen explained, the present
labor agitation in the West Coast dis
trict presents such serious possibili
ties. "The mill managers have no quarrel
with their workers," he insisted. "They
are in thorough sympathy with the de
sires of the men to get more money.
And this is proved by the fact that
i since March 1 they have advanced the
wages of all hands four separate times.
"But many existing contracts were
taken on a basis of former wages and
the mills now are driven to a point
where they cannot absorb further in
creases without financial inconven
ience. "On top of this they are confronted
with the demands for an eight-hour
day. Now the mill managers have no
objection to the eight-hour day and are
ready to grant it if their competitors
in the South also grant it.
"Let the Government issue an order
that all plants operating on Govern
ment contracts shall operate eight
hours, and let this apply to the South
ern pine mills as well as to the Doug
las fir mills, and the shorter day will
go into effect wthout trouble.
Southern IN'egro Labor Paid Less.
"But the mills here already are pay
ing a. minimum of $3.50 a day, com
pared with $2 and $2.50 paid by the
Southern mills for their negro labor:
If we are forced to cut to eight hours
and continue paying the 10-hour sched
ule, it will add substantially to the cost
of our product, and make it just that
much harder to compete with the pine
manufacturers."
Although prevailing prices for lum
ber are higher than they have been at
any time m recent years, the manufac
turers are not making the immense
profits that the- price list would Indi
cate. Mr. Allen asserted. Many, or
nearly all. mills are filling orders that
were booked a year ago, when the mar
ket was down, and which could not be
filled at that time on account of the
car shortage. Now- they are cutting
this lumber on a high-level wage scale
and a higher price for everything that
enters in the business. It is probable,
he said, that some mills actually are
losing money on this business. The
profits on new business are not unduly
great, he continued, as current prices
are only proportionate with the prev
alent high cost of living.

WOMAN'S BUREAU FORMED
Florence Marshall at Head of New
Red Cross Department.
. The executive committee of the
American Red Cross has established a
woman's bureau.
The bureau began its work on July
2 with Miss Florence M. Marshall, di
rector of the Manhattan Trade School
and formerly a member of the Federal
Commission on Vocational Education,
as director and with an advisory com
mittee composed of many prominent
women.
The purpose of the bureau is to de
velop to the utmost extent all types of
work which may be undertaken by lay

'W
HOOP-EE-E! we eat again,"
cried several sunburned, leg- I
weary fellows as they
searched for their own plates, knives,
forks, cups and spoons.' They wero
the last to get into the camp for the
dinner. There was plenty to eat,' but
they had to hunt for it as Henri, the
chef, refused to work after hours., for
he was out there at Wildwood Camp
to enjoy the first club jinks ever held
in the wilds of the Cascades by the
Portland Rotary Club. About 35 Ro
tarians went out Friday. July 27, for a
three-day outing at "Bill" Bailey's
Place, about B0 miles from the city.
The affair was strictly stag, but on
Sunday afternoon the families of many
clubmen, who were camping - in the
vicinity, came into the camp to enjoy
the feast prepared by Henri Thiele,
chef, who was the instigator of the
trip. Sixty-eight had dinner, but six
others who belonged to the. party were
in the snow fields of Mount Hood
searching for Clarence Defries, a fellow
member who strayed from the party
and was in danger of being lost.
Henri Thiele discovered the" camp
some time ago and he found working
there F. E. Bailey, who is known to
the Portland theater-goers who pur
chase tickets at the Heilig window.
With Mr. Bailey were his two sons,
Hallard, aged 18 years, and Truman,
aged 16. (The older boy is now in the
Navy serving Uncle Sam.) Henri then
took out Cyrus B. Waters, vice-president
of the club, and several others,
showed tnera the camp and suggested
a club jinks. The Rotarians now plan
to make this an annual event, so suc
cessful has been the initial outing.
To reach this Camp Wildwood the Ro
tarians went out the Mount Hood road
to Brightwoo'd, turned left, crossed the
Sandy river and then followed the red
arrows for four miles. There they
found that Bailey could do other things
besides sell tickets. He had built log
cabins, cleared land, constructed trails
and rustic scats and had done many
other things to make this an ideal
resort place without spoiling nature's
work. On the place grow the trees
for the cabins and not far away is the
sandstone for the fireplaces. Nearby
are the Sandy river and Clear. Creek
and Hackett Creek. The camp is at
the base of Crutcher's Bench, from
which can be obtained an excellent
view of Mount Hood and the surround
ing country. For six years the Bail
leys have been going-to this site and

LUMBER COMPANY SUES
Oregon & California Railroad Asked
to Fay Booth-Kelly $200,000.
Suit to recover S200.000 has been in
stituted against the Oregon & Califor
nia Railroad Company by the Booth
Kelly Lumber Company.
The suit arises from the forfeiture
of the railroad land grant and the in
validation of title to a large tract of
timber land purchased by the Booth
Kelly Lumber Company from the Oregon-California
Railroad Company.
The $200,000 was paid to the Govern
ment In a compromise agreement by
which the Booth-Kelly Company was
permitted to retain the tract. The lum
ber company contends It expectejd to
obtain a clear title when It made the
original agreement of purchase with
the railroad, at $10 an acre, and that
failure to receive such title forced an
additional payment of $2.50 per acre.
