According to announcements of the
West Coast Lumbermen's association,
any curtailment of the governments
wooaen gnipDunuinK m'-n .
affect the fir lumber Industry of the
Northwest, which produces all the big
' timber used In these vessels.
Contracts already plaeed with the
wooden shipyard 6f Oregon and Wash
ington by the government call for de
livery within the next few months of
approximately 150,000,000 feet of ship
timbers which must bo supplied by the
fir mills These mills still have a few
orders, too, for shipbuilding on the At
lantic and Gulf coasts.
Lumbermen are somewhat amused at
the Interpretation placed on the situa
tion by the authorities at Washington,
D. C..., that "the use of lumber hauled
' across the continent from the Paclfid
coast has been found to cause delay,"
as they need only to point to the gov
ernment's own records to show that
train load after tralnload has moved
from terminals on Tuget Sound and the
Columbia river to destinations on the
Atlantic coast In less than two weeks,
,and In several cases Inside of 10 days.
1 'this is shorter time than similar move
ments were accomplished from - the
South.
Arriving Too Fant In Roath
There are Instances where Atlantic
coast shipyards have complained to the
Kmergency Fleet corporation that fir
from the Pacific coast was arriving so
falst It was cotiKestins the yards
and on account of these complaints the
Kmergency Fleet corporation had seri
ously In mind the cancellation of the
train lot movement and going back to
the much slower delivery by single car
In trains of mixed freight.
Shipbuilders and lumbermen here are
not much surprised nt the rfiiortM from
Washington that further wood ship con
struction is to be limited. They have
been unofficially advised of this plan
for two or three weeks.
All the shipyards have constant In
quiries from foreign governments and
from private concerns for wooden ships.
Jf the government quits building them. It
la believed certain that the yards will
ba permitted to take on contracts for
the allied governments and private cwn-
mru.
More Work In Prospect
The reported shortage of available
engines and boilers Is not expected to
Interfere with the proposed production
of wooden ships for private accounts,
as the practice of building vessels
equipped with sail and auxiliary power
may be adopted. A large number of
this type of ships was built in the Ore
gon and. ,' Washington yards before the
government program was Inaugurated
and these craft are now in successful
service.
Lurrtber manufacturers are ad'vlsed
that the government's program contem
plates utilization of the Pacific coast
yard! In building vessels for coastwise.
South American and Transpacific trade j
and with such an arrangement, it Is
probable that there will be no Interrup
tion In activities of the local yards.
Government orders for fir ship timber
for Kastern and Southern delivery re
maining on . the books of the mills, ag
gregate less than 30.000,000 feet. Little
new business Is expected from this
source after these orders are filled.
.Car supply at the west coast mills
. continues to Improve. The mills last
m'Atr Vi nnftd a n Brpocrato nf 1Q4 rtot-a
The normal movement Is from 2200 to
2300 cars. Inasmuch as the mills are
producing less than their normal volume
of lumber under the eight hour day,
their actual car requirements are lower
and more nearly coincide with the car
uppiy. ,
. . Car Situation Improves
The balance of unshipped orders Is
now. 11,815 cars, which -is the lowest in
several months. If the car situation con
, tlnues to grow better In the next few
months, some of the congestion will be
relieved.
Actual rail shipments from west coast
mills during the seven weeks since the
." beginning of March show the variation
In the car supply for that period;
For the week ending March 2, 1349
cars were shipped ; for the week ending
March 9. 1233 cars; March 16, 1372 ;
March 23. 1811 ; March 30, 1635 ; April 6.
1746 ; April 13. 1924.
The. most pronounced Improvement be-
- gen about the middle -of March when
the mill operators started to complain
. vigorously to the railroad administra
tion. While the supply is not yet ade
quate, the situation is more hopeful now
r than It was a month ago.
Rail Orders Condone
