engineers and the steam schooner
owners association. Most of the ves
sels In the coastwise trade have been
tied up to await the outcome of the
striKa ana in the meantime very little
lumber is being moved. A prolonged
struggle between the owners and the
engineers will probably press into
service again a large fleet of sailing
schooners, but until this Is done very
little lumber will find Its way south
and tha mills will ' suffer.
With another quietus put on the Cal

looking for relief this spring. Optlm
istlc dealers hold out the hope,, how
ever, that while tha strike will kill
business temporarily, it will also hasten
tha cleaning up or the yards through
out the territory and eventually mean
a real live awakening when things be
gin to move down there. For several
months California purchases in the lum
ber line have been light in order to
work off tremendous stocks that ac
