High School News STUDENT REPORTERS Profits Menaced By Price Regulations, Priority Pref erences, Ship Shortages, Portland, Ore., Nov. 7. W) Douglas fir prices hit an 18 year peak in 1941, and produc tion, employment and wages were up, but a defense media tion board commission caution' ed today that the picture was undergoing a change. Named to study the Industry and to report for the benefit of Puget Sound labor negotiations involving 52 lumber operations, the commission of Dr. Dexter M. Keezer, Reed college presi dent: Paul Eliel, Stanford uni versity professor, and - Dean Wayne L. Morse of the Univer sity of Oregon law school, said today that the industry's profits were menaced by price regula tions, priority preferences and ship shortages.' Decline Sets In The report covered the first six months of 1941, In which It was found that prices were 132.4 percent of the 1933-39 average. Prices of upper grades. however, were reduced an aver age of about $10 a thousand board feet by the October 1 1941 price ceiling set by the Of fice of Price Administration, the report said. New orders reached a peak In July and declined through September. Stock! of lower grade lumber accumulated as lack of cargo space restricted shipping. Requirements for 1942 were estimated 30.4 billion board feet, 2.2 billion above the esti mated 1940 consumption but 3 4 under the estimated 1941 con sumption. The downward esti mate was due to restrictions on non-defense construction using critical defense materials. Cost Computed The report computed the aver age cost of producing lumber In Oregon and Washington at 120.57 a thousand board feet and the average profit before deductions for state and federal Income taxes and excess profits taxes at $4.33 a thousand. Weekly earnings of workers averaged slightly over $30, ap proximately 10 percent above the 190 average. Hourly earn ings were about 84 cents, 6.3 cents higher than the 1940 aver age. Labor costs In lumber mills averaged $4 90 a thousand board feet, the report said. The commission made no spe cific wage recommendations.
