lP Loses L-P Suit

International Paper Co. has lost its lawsuit alleging Louisiana-Pacific illegally hired away IP executive Mark A. Suwyn as its chairman and ceo.

The court ruled that both companies had such fundamentally different meanings in mind when they executed their agreement that no contract was formed. Moreover, even if there had been a valid contract, IP failed to prove the likelihood of irreparable injury required for the relief sought.

WWPA Stresses Service

The importance of value-added services is the focus of the Western Wood Products Association's new "ServiceSecond to None" marketing campaign.

The campaign's direction was supported by the results of an independent survey of lumber buyers, which indicated that "while lumber price, availability and quality are clearly the primary considerations buyers have when making purchasing decisions,'second tier' considerations such as supplier services and product support are also taken into account," said WWPA s Robert Petow.

According to Petow, "Virtually all retailers were aware of WWPA for its grading services, however many lumber dealers were not as aware ofproblem solving services, employee training, technical aids and many other services that accompany WWPA member products."

The campaign's aim is to show retailers that associating themselves with WWPA services establishes them as resources for quality lumber that is backed with the problem solving ability of an association that has been in the lumber industry since the turn of the century.

Forecasted Fiasco Fizzles

Rumored demonstrations and confrontations to mark last month's l00th anniversary of the Organic Act of 1897, which for the first time authorized logging in national forests, never materialized.

The media paid little attention to news releases and press conferences in which environmentalists, led by the Sierra Club, blamed timber harvesting for 100 years ofecological devastation and in which industry spokesmen bemoaned the government's denying the Act's mandate to "furnish a continuous supply of timber for the use and necessities of the citizens of the United States."
