TROUBLE GROWING OUT OF GAR SHORTAGE STILL BOTHERS LUMBER INTERESTS
4
TH OREGON DAILY , JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SATURDAY, APRIL , 13, 1918.
LUMBER IS PILING
UP IN YARDS AT
MILLION FEET DAY
Appeal to Government Has So Far
Been Without Result Finan
cial Conditions Unsatisfactory.
PLENTY OF ORDERS IN SIGHT
Mills Are Getting Only About 25
Per Cent Enough Transporta
tion to Transact Business.
Car shortage la responsible (or the
present predicament In the lumber In
dustry. Due to the shortage of cars,
lumber is piling up in west coast yards
at the rate of 1.000.000 feet a day. Fi
nancial conditions , are unsatisfactory.
Bankers are slow to finance the side
cut, because It is not known when the
lumber can be shipped. The govern-
- ment ia being appealed to. but the re
lief so far afforded is negligible. In
brief, manufacturers admit that the
entire industry is imperiled. There are
plenty of orders In sight, but the mills
are only getting about 25 per cent
enough cars to transact business.
There is a gleam of hope In the pres
ent developments in Europe because
they emphasize the need of ships and
aeroplanes as nothing else could. .Yet
lumber manufacturers cannot speed up
- production, as the amount of side cut
- is so great that all storage room Is
filled. Many empty cars reaching the
Coast are used for grain loading and
In view of the ehort supply of wheat,
it is difficult to see how they can be
spared for lumber loading. It ia a dif
ficult situation but, as production of
government lumber must not be allowed
to decrease, relief will have to come
from some source. The demand for,
Douglas fir, both yard stock and spe
cial cutting bills, la keen enough, but
the manufacturers are not booking all
of the business offered. So far as pres
ent records show It has not been In
creased, nor has it been greatly de
creased, by the eight hour day.
In the red cedar shingle manufac
turing districts a number of mills have
closed down on account of the car
shortage. As no relief ia in sight, and
as even when cars are obtained and
loaded, there is no assurance that the
railroads will be able to move them,
manufacturers are considering changing
shingle mills Into box factories.
In western pines. the market Is very
keen, but the car shortage ia acute
also.' In Montana Is was never known
to be worse, while the mills in Eastern
Oregon complain bitterly, and with
cause. Some of the mills have been
forced to close. The Oregon mills have
received some slight relief, but it is far
from adequate. In California and.
Southern pregon the cutting season is
beginning. While there has been no
concerted action in California on hours
of work,. It la significant that many of
the sawmills that have started up are
on an eight hour day basts with the
same pay previously received for the
10 hour day. As even these mills are
short of help, it seems certain that few
if any of the pine sawmills will be able
to operate on the 10 hour day basis.
Western pines are being substituted
for other; woods in the Middle West
to a considerable extent, though this
substitution would be largely increased
if it were possible to make shipments
promptly, i As stocks are badly broken
at the mijlls, and as there is plenty . of
room for stacking lumber, the car short
age will hot be felt so seriously as In
other manufacturing sections and the
sawmills can go on cutting with assur
ance of an active market for all of the
lumber produced.
Transportation officials of the north
coast lines are trying to work out a
more direct route for shipping lumber,
based on a statement of mileage sub
mitted byf all the transcontinental lines.
Economic operating conditions, such as
the direct as against part common user
tracks, are being taken into considerat
ion in arriving at the results desired.
So far the committee has accomplished
little. The lumber tariffs specify rout
ings, and unless Regional Director R. H.
Aishton of Chicago can recommend that
all such routings be expunged from the
tariff the anti-pooling laws will remain
in effect and prevent any headway
through committee work. Mr. Aishton
has been asked to provide a way out.
Railway operating and traffic offi
cials have little hope, however, that any
thing can be accomplished. They point
out that, because freight rates has been
the only commodity that has not risen
in price in 15 years, all the best brains
and economic measures that could be
devised have' already been applied in
the effort to bring up the earnings and
reduce expenses under private owner

HELP SOIVE FARM
LABOR QUESTIONS
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
. Has Issued Statement on
Women's Work.
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Clarence Oueley has made public a
statement on women'a labor on the
farm In response to many requesta from ,
women all over the country who wish;
to do farm work. Assistant Secretary j
Ousley says: j
While women can do much In the so
lution of the complex and rather press
ing farm labor problem it should be
understood that the man power of the
country is not yet exhausted and that
except for certain lighter tasks men
are better adapted than women for
farm labor. "
While much la being done by the De
partments of Agriculture and Labor to
mobilise man power for farming oper
tions much yet remains to be done if
we are to make sure the saving- of the
crops which are now being planted.
The primary responsibility must be
assumed by the regions and communi
ties most vitally affected, , because no
agency of government can create labor
or compel men to pursue any particular
vocation. In all towns and cities adja
cent to agricultural regions there are
many men of farm experience who can
be spared for a day at a time or a
week at a time, as the case may be,
to help the farmers with their most
pressing tasks.
In releasing the men of farm experi
ence in the cities for farm labor many
women can be utilized- to take their
places for a few days at a time or for
a whole season. Generally: speaking, it
will become more and more necessary
for women to take the place of men In
all occupations.
In addition to' relieving men in towns
and citlea women can actually perform
many farm , tasks, such aa dairying,
vegetable cultivation, fruit gathering,
etc. The practice method of utilizing
women for farm labor cannot .be pre
scribed In any uniform plan, but it will
depend upon conditions in the commu
nity and upon the farms. Of course,
stepa must be taken to see that women
laborers are properly housed and other
wise are safeguarded from unnecessary
hardships.
Swiss May Ban the
Raising of Tobacco
Switzerland producea a email quantity
of tobacco, but the authorities have
raised the question of suppressing its
cultivation at this- time on account of
the grdat demand ror tne more necessary
products that could be raised.
The planter of firoye, the oenter of
the industry, have protested against this
measure, even If the government glvea
them Indemnity for tne suppression of
the planting of tobacco.
The canton of Vaud produces most of
the tobacco grown In Switzerland, the
average crop in this canton for a period
of five years being 528,000 pounds, sold
at an average price or about seven cents
per pound.
Evaporated Apples
Ordered by British
The Australian prime minister has an
nounced that the British government has
agreed to purchase 1800 tons of Aus
tralian evaporated apples, for 'shipment
at the rate of 300 tons a month from
March to August of the current year.
The price named ia 7d (15 cents) a
pound. So far aa la known Tasmania la

sessing evaporating plants.
GUN DIVISION HAS
MADE MOST AMAZING
GROWTH OF PERIOD
Ordnance Bureau, One of Small
est at Start of War, Is Now
Extensive.
A summary of the work of the gun
division, bureau of ordnance, prepared
for the secretary of war, ahowa that It
haa been necessary to equip IS large
plants for the manufacture of mobile
artillery cannon, and the total program
of the gun division calla for an ex
penditure of approximately 12.000,
000,000. ;
At the outbreak of the war the gun
division waa composed of three officers
and seven civilians. At the end of the
year 1917 It had approximately 600 offi
cer and S500 civilians, and by June.
1918, it la estimated there will be 1500
officers and more than 10.000 civilians
in this division.
"The gun division." aaya a memor
andum on the progress of its program,
' has arranged for the production ef
many thousand cannon and the erec
tion and complete equipment of IS plants
for their manufacture. These plants are
well under way and a number are prac
tically complete. Forglnga are already
being produced and the machining
plants are in excellent state of progress.
It waa necessary to build these plants
from the ground "iip, aa no adequate
facilities existed for this program, which
covers practically all calibera of guns."
The major projects of the gun divi
sion have included :
Construction of smokeless powder
plants In face of the necessity of doub
ling the present output These are now
under way. j I , , - . ,
Expenditure of approximately $40,-
000.000 for plant facilities to manufac
ture artillery cannon, with an estimate
that t300.0u0.000 will be apent for can
non alone within two years after the
outbreak of war. J !
Negotiations in many citlea of the
country for the erection of plants for the
extraction of toluol from the Illuminat
ing gaa being furnished these citlea by
private gaa companies. : i
Conservation of the supply of ammo
nium nitrate and acids and construction
at government, expense of a plant for
the fixatlen of atmospheric nitrogen and
its final conversion into, ammonlunl ni
trate. , ;
Construction, now undertaken, of a
gas-filling plant to j cost approximately
$1,500,000. and the construction of five
large shell-filling plants, to coat In the
aggregate $25,000,000. j .
Company Is Pleased
With Eight-Hour Day
The Deer Park Lumber company of
Deer Park. Wash., one of the youngest
and moat progressive manufacturers of
western ptnea In the Inland Empire, ia
well. pleased with the (results obtained
from operating on an eight-hour day
baaia It. L. Wilson, secretary of the
company. In writing, said : "Wt find, the
eight-hour day to be very satisfactory.
We have always been of the opinion that

The preparation of housing and town-

after the war la receiving the earnest
attention of the government and local
authorities throughout Great Britain.
The provision of an adequate supply ;of
bouses for the working classes la rscog
nixed aa one of the moat Important
social problems to be- solved. Even
before the outbreak of the war the
shortage of proper housing accommo
dation, especially of the better i class,

ters of the country, and in the rural
districts conditions in this respect were
likewise growing serioua t ' t j
Estimates aa to the housing require
ments of the country in order to over
take the deficient building during the
past decade vary from 100.000 to 600.004

ations have gone so far aa to declare
that the deficiency is at least 1.000.000.
It la generally agreed that the standard
of the past, aa regarda accommodation,
quality of work and conveniences, can
no longer be tolerated. It la recognised
that when the soldiers return to, civil
life they will not be. likely to be con-v
tented with the overcrowded. Insani
tary dwellings In which they previously
were obliged to live, and that buildings
which are a menace to the health of the

It Is not In the interests of newspapers
or magazines that attention of manu
facturers is again directed to the im
portance of establishing familiarity with
their productions now that there Is an
advisory embargo, as it were, on the ;
shipments of eastern manufactures to
the "West. Secretary McAdoo, as is well
known, strongly counsels consumers to
buy for their consumption, so far as
consistent with their ability to do so.
the products of their home factories.
All patriots will acquiesce in this re
quest, in order that rail transportation
may be saved, but In conversing with
consumers there Is a universal declara
tion that "Our home products never have
been advertised, and we do not know
what to call for." The products of East
ern factories are lavishly advertised In
nearly all broadly circulated mediums,
and the names of many are familiar to
every reader, but our. own people ab
solutely, almost, utterly neglect even
the smallest exploitation of the things
they manufacture.
Sow Is the Time to Advertise
"We have no occasion to spend money
for publicity," they say, "for the reason
that we are running to capacity," or,
"we cannot obtain sufficient skilled help
to man our factory."
A factory running to capacity never
will be In better condition to bear the
expense of advertising. It ia then that
It should construct its fortress to pro
tect Itself against the time when this
situation will not exist. Prudence would
surely suggest that its management at
this time should provide It with all pos
sible safeguards against the keen com
petition common sense and foresight
warns us must Inevitably arise once
munition factories are stilled and skilled
workers are forced to lay down their
implements of toil. Good judgment
would likewise open the eyes of heads
of local enterprises that they might
see the avalanche of comoetltion the
closing of the war will breed, and this
should prove a stern warning vto them
to be panoplied and armed for the fray.
it may be that many factories are
short handed at this time. In truth it
is a fact that there are such. High
shipyard pay has called their workers
into this new vocation, and they are
unable to fill their places, but these
desertions of employers are not of such
magnitude as to seriously so cripple the
industries mar. ineir ner. earnings are
.below the normal.
Exploit Baslness Xow
, In fact, high prices have so increased
proms that, though outputs be de
.creased. net gains are not less, but In
iiioHi instances, more man iney were a
year or two ago. Manufacturers know
;mis statement is true, and they must
j Inwardly feel that they should exploit
j their business now, yet there is that
tenacious clinging to the dollars that
they will not shake the tree 1 of later
prosperity and be prepared In the not
distant future to gather .to themselves
its ripened fruit. . , ,
If the manufacturers of Portland only
could be made to realize the present
golden opportunity to establish them
selves and their products tn the minds
or the people before the onrush of for
sign competition overtakes them, there
is no doubt but that they would embrace
it, judiciously advertise their wares and
be prepared to meet the advancing army
of salesmen for competing Institutions
located in otber states.

having a railroad track, and to be ad
vertised and known far and wide as the
Manufacturers' building, is strongly ad
vocated by A. G. Clark, manager of the
Home Industry league of the Chamber
of Commerce. It should be erected by
some enterprising Individual owning
suitable ground, and rented to one ten
ant at a fair return on the Investment,
he to sublet to as many manufacturers
as the premises would accommodate.
The structure would need to be supplied
with electric power, served by both elec
trio companies, to insure power at all
times. It should be provided with all
modern conveniences for the accommo
dation and comfort of workers therein.
so as to make it a coveted place in
which to toil, and thus encourage con
tentment and steadfastness on the part
of employes of the occupants.
Aa Ideal Location
An Ideal location for such a structure
may be found at the northeast corner of
Fornt and Madison streets. An old,
ramshackle brick building, half a cen
tury old and with a Methusaleh appear
ance, occupies this ground now. The
upper part Is used as a cheap rooming
house and the ground floor as the most
unsightly junk shop in Oregon. Its ap
pearance would be a disgrace to the
lazsaaronl section of Jerusalem, and It
cannot be that It yields an income at
all commensurate with the taxable value
of the ground.
Such a building would be served on
the one side by the electric railway
with tracks on Front street, and on the
other by water transportation of the
Willamette river. It would be conven
ient to the lumber yards and easily
reached y deliveries of iron and steel.
Perfect accessibility to trucks and auto
mobiles would add to its desirability,
and it would be no trick at all to fill the
edifice with a high class of tenants.
Abundance ot Tenant!
Constantly moving around among the
factories discloses the fact that numer
ous manufacturers are desirous of
change of location. Some are hampered
for room and others desire better lighted
quarters. The writer has at this time in
mind at least half a dozen concerns,
some worklnsr in Iron and steel, some in
wood and others a combination of all
three, all worthy and substantial indus
tries, the managers of which wouia re
iolce at the opportunity such a building
would afford to acquire well . lighted,
heated and comfortably appointed prem
ises In which to house their factories. In
fact it Is believed that every foot of an
eight story factory building could be
rented before a dollar had been Invested
in material for Its construction, were the
fact known that such a building would
be erected at some accessible location,
convenient to means of transportation.
It would need to be as nearly fireproof,
of course, as possible, but as Its walls
would be principally of glass its cost
would be moderate.
"There are buildings of this character
In other cities, and why not lr Port
land?" Mr. Clark queries." "And we have
many property owners here with hold
ings bringing but little Income. It would
be an easy matter for some one to
change this condition by an Investment
of this character."
This Is a proposition which should in
terest the Realty association or the
Realty 'board ef Portland, unless some
private individual takes hold of the en
terprise. It Is what a great many Port
landers are looking for "a lead pipe
cinch 1" It doesn't afford a chance to
