contractor, who yesterday returned '
from Seattle, Washington, where he '
had gone to attend the funeral of:
his father. ,
"Things are pretty slow all thro-;
ugh the northwest." Porter stated,'
"and construction work haa by no
means opened up for the season. !
Seattle is considerably more active '
than is Portland, but the labor
situation there is very much as it 1
was in midwinter," he declared.
Present indications, combined
with forecasts by contractors in the
leading cities of the northwest, are
that the big Jobs will not open for
several weeks. Porter said. Award

siderable Portland labor. '
