PAPER MILL EMPLOYES PUBLISHING A PAPER "Making Paper," is the title of an attractive little magazine to be pub lished once a month by the employes of the Crown-Willamette Paper Co., to foster the mutual interests of the employe and to promote closer coop eration. This publication marks th beginning of new era in the history of paper making on the Pacific coast. There was a time when the employer had a personal acquaintance with each employe, but business is now done on so large a scale that that is impos sible. It is hoped that this little mag azine will be the means of effecting a good understanding between tht company and its employees. Work men at mills many miles removed will be enabled to keep in touch with eacl other, and efficiency records of eacl mill will be there for comparison with their own, and will stimulate a friend ly rivalry between the mills.
