THE national recovery cod for the
lumber Industry will mean an
lncreaae of about $15,000,000. or
million dollara a month. In payroll
of the Western pine territory.
This increase in payrolls will be
due to putting approximately 6,000
men to work, In addition to those
already employed. These additional
men will be required because of the
ihorter hours.
The result of these additions will
be an Increase of about 33 per cent
In the production cost of lumber,
or about 5 per thousand feet.
THESE flgurei, which are Intense
ly interesting, are vouched for
by David T. Mason, general manager
of the Western1 Pine association, who
has Just returned to the Coast from
Washington, where he helped In
drawing the lumber code.
IN ITS application to the Western
pine lumber Industry, you have
a perfect example of the way the
NRA works If It works, as we all
earnestly hope It will.
Shorter houra. more men. More
men, larger payrolls. More payrolls.
Increased cost of production.
NBA will work If the public will
pay the increased cost of produc
tion. If the public won't pay the
Increased cost of production, NRA
won't work.
That Is about all there la to It.
BUT the public has much to gain
and little to lose by paying the
Increased cost of production.
Higher production costs mean
higher prices. But tlmee are nearly
altfaya GOOD when prlcea are high,
and nearly alwaya BAD when prices
are too low.
' It la better for the publlo to pay
higher prices and have good times
than to pay lower prlcea and have
bad tlmea.
Isn't that true?
THE lumber code specifies an
hourly wage of 424 centa here
in the Pacific Northwest, and 23
cents in the South.
So, you aee, our Pacific Coast
lumbermen will have to absorb a
GREATER Increase in cost than the
lumbermen of the South.
LUMBERMEN of the pine and fir
reglona of the Pacific Coast went
Into the framing of the code defin
itely committed to the principle of
high wages. The lumbermen of the
South fought for LOW wages.
It was this fight between the
high wage lumber Industry of the
West and the low wage lumber In
dustry of the South that held up
for so long the adoption of the
code.
THE lumbermen of the West arc
entitled to the thanka of their
communities for going through with
their high wag? fight and WIN
NINO It.
Aa a result of the winning of this
fight, the lumber communities of the
Pacific Northwest will experience
much greater degree of prosperity In
the coming yeara than they would
have experienced If the Western lum
bermen1 had lost their fight and the
South had won.
--
rpHE West U a high wage country.
1 The South la a low wage coun
try. As a result of this difference, the
West Is uniformly more prosperous
than the South. It may be true
that few BTO PEOPLE make more
money In the South, but It ! cer
tainly true that the great majority
of LITTLE PEOPLE enjoy a higher
standard of living In the West.
That la one reason why so many
people In the South would like to
move West.
PRICE cutting within the lumber
industry Itself will be barred by
the code. But price competition be
tween the lumber and the lumber
eubetltutea will NOT be barred by
the code. It can t be.
If a!l we had to do was to Jack
up the price of lumber to allow for
the increased coe,t of production,
everything would be lovely and the
goose would hang high.
But that Unt all. After the
price of lumber la ralaed to allow
for the Increased coat of production.
It will still be nfea-rary to !um-

Nearly 4,000 men today battled the

of fire today. Previously the most
critical conditions had existed be

Thankfully, residents of the city of
Tillamook felt a cooling southwest

the Wilson river fire, whipped Into

CLEVELAND. Aug. 26. The
NRA and American Federation of La

ers at the opening of a two-day trade
union conference here today.
"The NRA la not only lowering the
standards of living," declared James
W. Ford, presiding officer, "but la
aiming to destroy militant unions and
to prevent a struggle of the workers
to defend their interest." Ford was
the communist candidate for vice
president of the United States at the

"Most of today's strikes." he said,
"are being arbitrated against the
worker by A. F. of L. officialdom."

visional committee trade union con
ference for united action, with head
quarters In New York, under the lead
ership of Louis Welnstock, leader of
an Insurgent group of the last A. F.
of L. convention.
Aa outlined by Welnstock, the first
task of the conference la to "expose
the NRA. and then to organise to
demand Immediate wage increases,
shorten working hours, and a guar
antee of a minimum number of weeks
labor a year."
Sponsors of the meeting said ap
proximately 600 delegates were reg
istered from Ohio. New York, Penn

Alabama, Illinois. Arizona and New

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. T.t Aug. 36.
(AP) president Roosevelt today de
clared the national recovery drive
for more Jobs and more pay to be
succeeding with a unanimity of the
people, "unequalled since the war
daya," brlnBlnff the eountnr "hack tn

In the bright sun on the Vassar
college campus the president told the
people of his home county who gath
ered to welcome htm home that "the
downhill drift has definitely turned
and become an upward surge."
Bpeaxing publicly on the recovery
drive for the first time since hla
intensive days at the White House
In Inaugurating the new deal for
America. Mr. Roosevelt put emnha-
Ms into his words declaring the new
policy to be one extending to the na
tion the principle of "local commu
nitythat no Individual, no family.
has a right to do things which hurt
the neighbors."
The president wiped beads of pen-
plratton from his forehead and looked
his old neighbors of this Republican
county in the face aa he also called
lor a complete reorganization of local
government,
"Some day the people of the state
of New York will do something about
it. ne aaid, "but I tell you quite
frankly that nothing will be done
unlesa you make your representatives
In town boards and county boards
and the atate legislature do It or sub
stitute other representatives for
them."
Startled for a moment, the huge
crowd in front of the home of the
president of Vassar suddenly broke
Into applause,
"And I am not talking Democratic
politics," Mr. Roosevelt added a an
Interpolation of hla prepared speech.
"I am talking good old Dutchess
county American principles." .
Detailing hla purposes in the' re
covery campaign, the president eald:
"Of course, It la true that your gov
ernment hopes that the building up
of wages that are atarvatlon wages,
and the shortening of houra of work
In every part of the United States
will result In a greater distribution
of wagea and an lncreaae In the num
ber of persona employed.
"It la true chat we seek definitely
to Increase the purchasing power of
the American people. It is true that
we are definitely succeeding in this
purpose and that the downhill drift
of America has definitely turned and
become an upward surge fcr America."
Thla expression for confidence also
brought applause and cheers from th
crowd stretching far out under the
treea of the Vassar lawn. In con
cluding, once again the president de
parted from hla prepared address to
say "there la a unanimity among the
people that I haven't seen since April,
