Iti ver view
Ten Years
Ago « * * *
prosperous days of 1928 and 1929, and when the crash
came, mill after mill had to cut wages, curtail production,
and in many cases to shut down entirely. The inevitable
result was an appalling unemployment, and mere sub­
sistence for those who were lucky enough to have jobs.
Disheartingly low prices for lumber restricted pro­
duction more and more until there began to be a pick-up.
Immediately many of the idle mills resumed and many of
the operating mills doubled their shifts or otherwise in­
creased their output. Encouraging signs these—and poten­
tially dangerous, as well, for the old evils of over-production
impended as a result of too much enthusiasm.
The industrial recovery act, revolutionary as it is,
and distasteful to all those who believe in individual rights,
promises the only hope of a real recovery. Under the new
order mills cannot cut more lumber than the demand war­
rants, they cannot slash prices, they cannot reduce wages
below a fair scale. The evils of the old order will be ef­
fectually prevented—for the law has teeth in it, and it will
be self enforcing. Naturally a mill owner who conforms is
not going to watch his competitor underpay, overwork and
undersell.
Perhaps the operation of the law, through eliminating
unfair competition, will restore prosperity to Vernonia.
Let us hope.
