Today Mr. Banfield buys the waste of the mills for 60 cents a load and sells it for $tand ti at the mills. . He has the sup. ply cornered under his long standing contract and he, alone can go there and buy. He owns practically all the slab of Portland. ' c t -- The fuel dlUmma of Portland has three prongs coal, cord wood and slabs, and the greatest of these is the last. With the coal shortage the- people ha've not wo immediate a wall for .the cause Is too far removed.. It rests with the BilnMwncn. th lahfir troubles and the railroads which' assert that they van "hot- flnd-"cars- sufficient to supply... the oemana. Tne cordwooa problem is in tricate. It involves scarcity of labor, shortage of transportation facilities and resultant shrinkage of supply. But with the slabwood problem It. is dif ferent. It involves the.poWer of the fuel combination to buy waste material at the mills at practically "nothing and to boost the selling price as inclination dictates. 1 -f . ' .. -r - The Bnnfleld-Veasejr Fuel company controls, the slab output of the Inman- f'oulson, the Portland Lumber company, he Eastern and Western and the North Pacific - Lumber mills. These are the principal lumber mills of the city. The East Side Mill company and the Stand ard Box Factory sell their slabs to the Blast Side Slabwood company which is in turn supposed to follow the dictum of the Banfleld-Veasey company.. Mr. Ban field says there -is no combination, but the fact remains Incontrovertible that combination-or no combination, the slab- wood prices rise ana rise, ag iianneia Veasey. tips the scale. ' In the olden days it used to be pos sible for. the proletariat to buy slab wood at the mills, but that time has long since passed. .Now It is purchased at the office of Banfleld-Veasey xr the other dealers. The mills under their con traot cannot sell direct to the con sumer. ' . v , -Thin contract, binding practically all tne muis or tne city . we one com bination, v gives the Banfleld-Veasey company ail the slabs produced at a cost of 60 cents for a, cord, or 76 eents for a load containing one and one half cords;1 By this contract t the Banfleld Veasey company is able to absolutely control the market. Under' this same contract slabwood formerly at the be ginning of the contract, . sold for $1.29 a loaa. now under the .changed con ditions in coal and cordwood the com bination has boosted the price until green slttbs cost the consumer $8 at the mills, while so-called dry slabs cost $4. Added to these erlces are the de livery charss ranging from 25 cents up to $1. Simple mathematics demon strate that the -slabwood dealers of Portland are now realising Immense proms on ineir wuetness, The mms . help In . squeeslns the purse of the common people. Slabs to them are waste and must be hauled away, They are cheaper than dirt and last year While the consumers of Port land were digging down into their poojtets. to reea the- soaring schedule of. the slabwood barons, the Inman Poulsen mill was dumping 200 lpads of I (Continued on Page Three.)
