Twenty-eighth Year MEDFOliD, OREGON, "WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1933. No. 113. Comment on the Day's News By FBANK JENKINS. AS THESE words are written, the lumber industry's code of fair competition hu not been approved, although It approval la momenta rily expected and may be received by the time these words are read. It 1 eagerly awaited throughout all the lumber districts. THERE has been much delay in the adoption of the lumber code, which waa among the first to be undertaken. The reasons for thla de lay ought to be understood, especially here In the Pacific Northwest. The South has been the fig factor In the delay. The Southern pine lum ber industry, along with practically ill other Industries In the South, has lwaye paid low wages, and wants to go on doing bo. Tf. wanta the advantage of low wages In competition with the pine and fir of the Pacific Northwest.. THE LUMBER code, as finally aub mltted to General Johnson, pro vided a wage of 334 centa an hour In -.the Southern pine district, and a wage of 43'4 cent an hour In the pine and fir districts of the Pacific Northwest. Oeneral Johnson, It has been re ported, regards the 4214 ct WB. as proposed for the Pacific Northwest, as fair, but considers the Southern scale of 23 "4 cents as much too low. It la understood that this contro versy la what has been holding up approval of the code. THE MINIMUM scale of 434 cents an hour proposed by the pine and llr lumber Industry of the Northwest la the highest minimum scale so far proposed by any of the major Indus tries. The steel Industry, for example, haa proposed In Its code a minimum wage of 40 cents, the electrical In dustry a minimum of 38 centa and the shipyards a minimum of 40 centa. It will be a source of pride to all of us to know that our own great lum ber Industry of the Paclflo North west has taken this position of lead ership In the higher wage movement. THE SOUTH, of course, wanta the advantage of low wagea In com petition with the lumber Industry of the Pacific Coast this In spite of the fact that It already enjoys a consider able advantage In the way of lower freight rates, due to being closer to the great consuming markets. It has fought determinedly for a lower wage even than that named in the code as originally presented, al though the Southern minimum wage scale as finally agreed on In the code waa only a little better than HALF the scale proposed for the Northwest THE LATEST reports Indicate, that there has been extensive revision cf the code, but what this revision mounts to is not known as these words are written. Neither Is it known when It will be approved, although approval Is expected ehortly. WHEN the lumber code Is finally T approved. It Is to be hoped that It la accepted promptly by all the rious elements of the lumber Uv dustry. It represents the best thought avail able on the subjects of wagea and fair competition. Ite minimum wage scale as applied to the pine and fir districts of the Northwest, is exceedingly fair Jn comparison with other lndustrlea. It will have back of It ALL the au thority of the government, whose principal purpose Is to get Industry going and so provide employment. THE LUMBER Industry, due to con ditions over which It haa had no control, haa been in a bad way for more than three years, and aa a re sult the lumber districts have auf-. fered severely. It Is hoped that the new code will remedy many. If not most of these evils, thus making possible continued operation with all that means in the way of new Jobs and added pros perity.
