ProhiMtire freight differentials aa)nst Oregon and Washington lumber will affect the average in land saw mill in much the same manner as recent cancellation of contracts affected the average shipbuilding plant. Tidewater mills, having cargo sh'pping outlets, will te ome what better off, but the great majority of mills are ndt in a po sition to ship by" water. , There: will vbe no concerted shut-down. Each operator will produce lumber, under the ad- erse shipping rales, just as long as he can and: then drop out. , Mill stocks are now 45 per cent In excess of normal. The average cost of manufacturing is now In excess of $32 per thousand reet. . ,v : s v Payroll i Danger. The industry cannot.- finance payrolls - nd; other, requirements without shipping; and, with cars short and freight rates ranging from 44 ier rent to 13.27 per thousand feet in tavor of com peting woods, restricted payrolls tnnst necessarily follow rtMriaed markets.

After having been kicked from fillar to post for many years, the reads suddenly find themselves In control, and their attitude to ward the shipping public is that of the new rich toward humble neighbors of less prosperous days. The old spirit of "the public, be; damned" is strongly in evidence.'
