Iinnish Birch over or cause end shifting on the car, and enable restoration of friction between the boards, the solidity of the package and pile is thereby preserved. Promiscuous and random size stickers are responsible for rnuch of the shifting of lumber that has required readjustment or reloading at railroad terminals and eventual hand unloading at final destination' Obviously, the time to prepare and secure the package is at the mill where the material is manufactured. The benefits are then realizecl by all three groups of the industry. After packaging, the comPact grouping of packages on the car is a naturai consequence. It follows that the more compact the load can be made in the car the greater clearance can be provided at each end, particularly the brake wheel end. Many of the flat cars of lumber being delayed on railroad repair tracks for readjustment are there because the lumber was initially loaded to within a few inches of the brake wheel or opposite end of car while literally wasting the room in the center of the car. No small percentage of flat car shipments are delaved on repair or shifting tracks terminal to terminal to clear brake wheels and drawbars. This unnecessary delay at a time when flat cars are in short supply and the buyer inquires in desperation, "Where. oh where, is my car of lumber overdue last week?" The dealer's best customer, the contractor, is holding tlp construction primarily because the minimum requiretnents of the loading rules were inadequate, plus some short cuts by the shipper, resulting in the car being loaded to shift and be delayed, rather than to ride. Can it be that the manufacturing group of the industry has so little interest in the second and last group? Certainly the railroad or transportation group does not want to delav their car and often spend a large part of the freight cliarges on needless sr'vitching and readjustment. Contrast this lvidespread needless situation producing dissatisfaction, de1ay, accidents, personal injuries and out of pocket costs with the same lumber packaged, secured and compactly loaded on the same car. spotted at destination rvhen first calculations figured it to arrive there, to be expeditiousiy, economically and safely unloaded mechanically. Say nothing of releasing the flat car for another load. The difference in the t'uvo situations can be founcl in the manner of packaging, securing and compactly loading the shipment at the point of origin.

Realizing that the lumber industry has not lost its traditional importance, made up as it is of three large families, Should we not in mutual interest ponder some words from the world's first family: Arn I my brother's keeper?
