Shipping Truce Extended

San Francisco, October l4.-Shipowners late yesterday acceded to the demand of the Federal Maritime Commission that operations continue under the existing agreement until negotiations have been completed.

Pacific Coast maritime unions conditionally agreed to extension of the waterfront truce after the shipowners announced acceptance without reservation. The unions, through their negotiating committee, advised the Federal Maritime Commission they are willing to extend the truce from October 15 to October 26 "if. the Commission can assure the same will be fruitful."

In unconditionally accepting the truce extension prior to the unions' action, the employers advised the Commission they now consider "your Com,mission is assuming full responsibility for bringing about a permanent solution without the interruption of commefce."

Both the employers and the unions urged prompt action by the Commission in the dispute over new working agreements which threatened to tie up shipping at m-idnight, October 15.

Spokesman for each group expressed gratification at the decision of the Commission to send RCar-Admiral H. G. Hamlet, retired Coast Guard officer, to the Pacific Coast for an investigation.

On September 3O, the expiration date of the 1934 working agreements, the shipowners advised the Federal Maritime Commission they would accept the proposal for extending the agreements for fifteen days if the unions would agree to arbitrate before the Commission issues not settled directly in that period. Labor leaders, representing sailors, longshoremen, masters, mates and pilots, Lngineers] firemen and other sea workers, accepted the fifteen diys, truce ..with no strings attached."

During the fifteen-day negotiation period the employers

and unions were deadlocked on many disputed points. The three principal issues-hiring hall control, six-hour day and worker{.discipline-still remained the'major stum-bling blocks. The unions indicated they would not agree to arbi"- tration on these issues and .peate negotiaiioni were at a standstill.

New Termite Resistant Grade Introduced By California Redwood Association

"Foundation Redwood," a ne.w official grade of Redwood designed to meet the need for a product highly resistant to decay and termite attack, was presented formally for the first time by the California Redwood Association in an exhibit at the Pacific Coast Building Officials' conference at San Francisco, October 5-7.

In brief, this new grade provides for lumber specially selected from the grade of No. 1 Heart Common, for high resistance to decay and termite attack.

The rules require that "Foundation Redwood" be graded under the supervision of official Association inspectors and grade-marked with the official mark of the Association.

In addition to the new grade of Redwood, the Association presented an interesting display of Structural Redwood, including the widely known model of the famous Dolan Creek Redwood bridge; samples of Redwood Anzac siding, beautiful interior paneling for offices and homes and various types of end-marking now in use among Redwood manufacturers.

SATES IRE GLI]rlBlilG!

WHEN A BUILDER finds himself crowded for time-when hets trying to beat Mrs. Naturets limited building scheduled1asts when the Veyerhaeuser 4-square Lumber story has a meaning aII its own. Thatts why my 4-Square sales and profits are climbing steadily every yeat.

THERE is common sense in 4-square Lumber -logic that every rushed builder understands perfectly. Flere is lumber all rcady to useends squared and smoothed at,the mill-exact Iengths to reduce needless labor costs and avoidable waste. Tight, clean joints and full bearing for rigid construction are ptactically automatic becarrse the lumber is cut to precise dimensions.

AIL THESE features, I can deliver in every Ioad of 4-Squareall these features at no extra cost to the trade or me. Thatts a real selling advrntagean advantage that also gives me an opportunity to close orders for other items. 4-Square Lumber is doing a great job for builders. For me, itts helping to stimulate profitable sales!

Vagabond Editorials

By Jack Dionne

Settlement, temporarily, at least, of the labor troubles affecting Pacific Coast shipping, relieves for the moment the darkest cloud hanging over the general lumber situation. Had the strike been called, tens of thousands of men would have been out of employment for an indefinite period and just at the starting of the winter season. **+

If labor troubles can be prevented from coming to a head on the Coast from now until spring, one of the most prospenous seasons in history should be recorded. The building tide swings high throughout the West. Should a shutdown of water shipping be inevitablg many mills and log camps will have to cease operations, and worlds of lumber that otherwise would be consumed on the Coast will seek other markets where they are not needed.

rf**

Bright though the prospect of avoidance of labor trouble may seem to be for the present moment, the conviction grows among shippers and the employing industry on the Pacific Coast, that sooner or later a show-down is inevitable. The continued encroachment of conditions they consider unfair and unbearable, the definite trend of efficiency downward in the loading, unloading, and handling of water-borne freight, and the apparent continuing loss of authority over their own affairs, business, and possessions, gives rise to the very general prediction that the time for a show-down can only be temporarily postponed. Sooner or later they must discover and determine just how much authority over the management of their own affairs and possessions they can retain.

***

Looking over the situation generally there is much reason to believe that the closing in of winter conditions will this year reduce building operations considerably less than is normally the case, and that we may in fact have a fine building volume right through the winter.

***

The building tide that has started will not permit the advent of cold and snow to severely retard operations. The nation, long without building activities, is going to build. *t*

The building industry may add to its winter selling possibilities by the use of intelligence and judgment in their building material offerings. No doubt it is easer to sell insulating materials in the winter building season than

during the warm weather. The need is more visibly apParent. ***

Insulation is comparatively new, particularly in retail lumber yard merchandising. But it furnishes magnificent possibilities for income development. Your insulation manufacturers and distributors can help you with wise suggestions along that line. ***

The lumber industry is rapidly coming back to its own. And when lumber c(xnes back to a prosperous level, one of the great basic industries that plays a major role in employrment, will be back in the line of duty. ***

So ttrat you won't forget how important this recently reduced lumber industry used to be, let me remind you that in 1925 it produced in this country approximately 42 billion feet; its payroll was about 441 millions of dollars; it paid over 42 millions of dollars in state and county taxes; it bought more than 100 millions of dollars worth of supplies; it exported more than 100 millions of dollars worth of materials; it furnished the railroads more than oneseventh of all their freight; it had over five billions of dollars invested.

**'f

Those figures are worth remembering, for, as the colored brother said-"That ain't hay." ***

For untold centuries lumber housed man in life, and likewise in death. It is an industry upon which civilization has always depended, and on which it may lo'ng depend. {<**

Today this nation has automatically launched upon a great home building campaign. It is homes in particular and small homes more particularly, that is claiming the prodtrct of the thousands of American sawmills at this moment. Large construction, with the exception of Government projecfs-31s scattering and few. But on every street and corner from ocean to ocean, we are building modest homes. ***

Can you think of a better way to rebuild a country that has been ravaged for years by economic pestilence? I cannot.

Of course, the lumber industry has never been particularly forward in its merchandising. But it is progressing. And I predict that it will see more merchandising progress in the next ten years than it has in the past fifty. I believe that.

t<**

The signs are all about us that the lumber industry is going to keep step with what is going to be one of the most progressive stages in human history. I believe that science and invention and human progress are going to see more forward and upward speed in the next few decades than ever before.

***

And the lumber business, partly of its own volition and partly because it will be caught in the whirlpool and swung along, is going to keep up with the parade. New products from wood, and new ways of using lumber will be the order of the day.

We're going to have " *ur", l".,ou. Nature and human instincts befriend the lumber industry. In spite of all that has been said and predicted in the past few years about the manner in which other materials are going to replace wood for home building, you will find that in the next ten

years more lumbEr will be used in the construction of the average home, than was used during the past ten.

>f**

That situation is well developed right now, and it has been automatic and not the result of any definite campaign or program. Today the builders of homes are using more wooden siding, as an example, than they have used for may years. My opinion is that the entire lumber industry could well and profitably devote some very specific attention right now to the production of beautiful wooden coverings for side-walls, and to the boosting of same to the nation's builders.

*t<*

'When a man comes in to talk about building a home, don't show him some old-fashioned narrow beveled or drop siding. Don't even let him think of such things. Sell him' show him, something eye-catching and attractive in wide siding that will do as much as anything else to clinch the home idea in his head.

)k,k*

And siding, of course, is only one of a hundred specific items that the industry might successfully give definite attention to at this blessed moment. The hour of opportunity has come again. Do something about it !

George \(/. LaPointe, Jr. Will Attend State Retailers' Annual Convention

George W. LaPointe, Jr., of Menomonie, Wisconsin, president of the National Lumber Dealers Assoc;ation and a retail lumberman of national prominence, will address the annual meeting of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association to be held at Del Monte on October 22-23. He is connected with the O & N Lumber Company of Menomonie, which operates 50 retail lumber yards in that section. He is a former president of the Wisconsin Retail Lumbermen's Association, and was a director of the old National Retail Lumber Dealers Association for four or five years before its reorganization.

Mr. LaPointe comes from a lumber family, his father and grandfather before him were lumber manufacturers in Wisconsin. He is a graduate of Cornell University where he studied law but has never practiced that profession. Upon graduating from college, lumber manufacturing was about at an end in that section of Wisconsin but he had a hand in winding up his father's operations at Wilson, Wis., after which he was engaged for several years in running small mills in Northern Wisconsin.

In 1911, he went into the retail lumber business acquiring a yard at Menomonie. In 1916, he joined with some of his college friends who were then lumber manufacturers, in organizing the present concern, O & N Lumber Company. He was then operating four yards which went into the formation of the new company.

O & N Lumber Company now operates 36 retail yards. In addition they are also operating a line of 14 lumber yards, Kellogg Brothers Lumber Co., making a total of 50. Headquarters for both corporations are at Menomonie.

Mr. La Pointe says he enjoys the acquaintanceship and friendship of a lot of big shots like F. Dean Prescott of Fresno, California, "Million Dollar" Blackstock of Seattle, "Letter-Writing" Lewin of Cincinnati, "Commodore" Baldwin of "Joisey" City, and others. He is very proud of his Iarge acquaintanceship with lumbermen all over the United States.

Fir Porch Columns Paper \(/rapped

Iiach column of the line of stock Fir porch columns handled by The California Door Company, Los Angeles, and advertised in this issue, is wrapped in heavy paper, in order that it may reach the job in the same condition in which it leaves the factory.

A feature of these columns is the special joint. Sizes carried in stock run from 6"x6"--3 to I2"xl2"-10.

Porch columns are now greatly in demand on account of the type of architecture being used, according to Glenn Fogleman, manager of the Los Angeles branch of the company.

It is interesting to note that The California Door Company has been in business since 1852.

Hammond Condenses Name

Efiective October 1, the name of the Hammond and Little River Redwood Company, Ltd., was condensed to that of the Hammond Redwood Company. All production of the company is concentrated in Humboldt County, California, with sales offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Kansas City, Chicago and New Orleans.

The firm has operated under the combination name since the merger in 1931 of the Hammoud Lumber Company redwood interests and the Little River Redwood Company.

The change in name has no other significance than simplification of a lengthy title. The same stock interests and management are represented.

C. E. Colburn Gives Talk at School Orange County Lumbermen's Club

E. Colburn, IJnion

Supply Company, Monterey, was asked recently to talk to an eighth grade class on the subject of lumber, and found the experience very interesting.

The children, he says, were eager to hear how lumber is manufactured and sold, what grades are used for various purposes, and why one species is better than another for certain uses, and what was to have been a 2O-minute talk lengthened out to about an hour.

Mr. Coburn thinks that such talks by lumber dealers in their communities would prove to be valuable trade promotion.

One result of his talk was a visit by the entire class to the yard and mill of the Union Supply Company.

Describes Laminex Streamliner Door

A neu' door for interior use by Wheeler Osgood Sales Corporation is described by Ralph Brindley, vice-president in charge of operations, of that company, as providing exceptional advantages in light rveight, economy and attra'ctive, modern appearance.

The Laminex Streamliner is manufactured with plain surfaces of 3-ply Douglas Fir, or Philippine Mahogany. The rigidly braced hollor,v core provides strength with light weight, and has a series of channels, screened at exterior openings, allowing thorough cir,culation of zrir for resistence to warping effects of moisture and temperature changes.

Laminex 'cement is used in the Streamliner door to provide a permanent, moisture-resistant bond. Mr. Brindley stated that the Streamliner is a Laminex lO-Point p661with engineered design, backed by the full Laminex gttarantee, and offering ten different points of advantage. 'Ihese ten points are said to insure beauty of appearance, troubleproof service, and maximum value.

The plain surface of the Streamliner door offers wide possibilities in decorative effects. The surface of the Streamliner can be painted or stained. Virtually any arrangement of panel effects can be obtained, or routed ancl inlaid designs are easily provided. Painted decorations in modern or period designs can be applied.

"Companion" to the Streamliner door, Mr. Brindley stated, is the Streamliner cupboard door. The cupboard door, built on the hollow-core principle also offers particular advantages in modern appearance, rigidity, light weight and economy. Literature describing these new Laminex doors is just off the press.

Transferred to S. F. Office

Frank H. White, formerly mill sales manager at Samoa, has been transferred to the Hammond Redwood Company's San Francisco office.

Mr. White returned September 20 from a seven weeks' trip in the course of which he visited the company's New York and Chicago offices, and their sales connections in 20 States.

THE HUMAN MIND

The most important things happen in our minds, and the problem of life is to control the mind and its workings ! If you run, trouble will follow, but defy trouble and trouble will run from you.

Cultivate your mind, develop initiative, personality and experience. The power to do is within your mind. Make your contacts resulting in influence, take the "breaks" and remember the story of the successful business man who when accused of being lucky, replied, "Yes, I am lucky, and you know I've noticed that the harder I work the luckier I seem to get."

Mind controls fear, anger, hate, sorrow, joy, happiness and failure, or success. School yourself to meet fear by doing what you are afraid to do. Discard anger, hate and failure from your make-up. Meet the problems of life with a smile; work hard mentally and physically.

Seagoing: "May I have the last dance with you?"

Girl: "Big boy, you just had it."

MAJOR OPERATTON

"Why did you tear the back part out of that new book?" asked the long suffering wife of the absent-minded doctor. "Excuse me, dearr" said the famous surgeon, "the part you speak of was labeled 'APPENDIX', and I took it out without thinking."

Bartle (to little boy sitting behind him in a movie): "Can't you see, little fellow?"

Little Fellow: "Not a thing."

Bartle: "Then keep your eye on me and laugh when I do."

JUDGING OURSELVES

It is a human failing to judge the inhabitants of a country by one of its natives whom we know. All the people of that country, in our minds, have the characteristics of that person-both desirable and undesirable. That being the case, what do you suppose a person from another country would think of the people of our country, if he judged them all by me?

Prefabricated Timber Structures to be Marketed bv New Concern

San Francisco, Sept. 29-Active operations by a commercial organization to be operated under the name of Western Timber Structures will start on October lst according to an announcement made today.

The corporation is cornposed oi producers of Douglas fir lumber suitable for high-grade structural use; about thirty of the leading lumber manufacturers of the Pacific Northwest'hold all of the stock.

The main objective of this new company will be to market prefab- Typical

A, C, Horner, Manager, Vestern Timber ricated framed timber structures Structures. which, in accordan,ce with the most modern engineering developments, will be designed to take advantage of the economy and efliciency now possible with timber connectors. Initial developments will include oil derri,cks, walking beams, pipe and casing racks, bridges, radio and tank towers, roof trusses and tunnel lining. Sp.cial emphasis will be placed on using the proper design ancl proper grade of lumber. Stru,ctures will be made of either treated or untreated lumber. Standard treatments will be confined to creosote and Wolman salts, applied under pressure.

It is planned to concentrate immediate activities on the Pacific Coast although the agreement with Timber Engineering Company for the use of connectors applies to the United States. The principal office will be in San Francis,co, with branch offices in Portland and Los Angeles.

A. C. Horner, at present consulting engineer for the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Timber Engineering Company and other similar organizations, was appointed manager of Western Timber Structures, effectivc October 1, and has opened an office at 85 Second Street, San Fran,cisco.

Mr. Horner, a graduate in Civil Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, was manager of the Western office of the National Lumber Manufacturers Asso,ciation

from 1927 to 1933 and has been closely identified with the lumber industry since that time. Previous to 1927 Mr. Horner was with the engineering department of the Southern Pacific Railroad, Building Inspe'ctor and Assistant to the City E,ngineer of Stockton, California, and, for a short time, in ,charge of structural and products promotion work for the P,ortland Cement Association in Los Angeles.

The policy of Western Timber Structures will be to market its products through lumber retailers. Arrangements are already being made to select retail outlets in important consuming territories.

It is expected that many of the structures produced bv the company will be stocked, ready for immediate shipment, at ,central points in both San Fran,cisco and Los Angeles metropolitan areas. Special structures such as radio towers and bridges, treated or untreated, will probably be fabricated at lumber mills or treating plants and shipped direct to the job.

Officers of the new company are: president, C. H. Watzek, Crossett Western Company; vice-president, If E. Horrocks, West Coast Wood Preserving Company; treasurer, C. G. Briggs, Booth Kelly Lumber Company, and secretary, F. C. Haworth. The board of directors consists of the officers and C. H. Ingram, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, and F. C. Reed, Simpson Logging Company.

Pioneer-Flintkote Company Adds Attractive Display

Extensive alterations to the Pioneer-Flintkote Company general offices, which included the addition of an elaborate displav of the company's products, have recently been completed.

With the building industry on the upswing, and with greatly increased orders coming in, additional facilities were needed. One whole side of the general oftices, 1ocated in the administration building on the 25 acres devoted to the plant, has been divided into private offices for heads of the resear'ch, engineering, sales, asphalt emulsion and boxboard divisions. Thb nerv arrangement is more convenient for the executives of the company and also for customers calling on them.

An elaborate display of the corhpanv's products has been arranged along one side of the spacious reception room of the general offices which are located at 5500 South Alameda Street in Los Angeles. Comfortable, modernistic chairs are arranged facing large four by six feet panel boards upon rvhich are laid asphalt shingles of various styles and colors.

Twelve large panel boards are suspended on overhead rollers, simila; to a rolling door. Two panels may be inspected at one time, and when any selected panels are exposed, the bottoms can be swung out so the exact appearance of a roof is obtained.

Separate displays of roll roofings and other products are arranged close by, as well as a full display of folding boxes and cartons made of Pioneer-Flintkote boxboards and chip-

So Great a Growth

I told a little tale I'd heard To Simon's sister Prue; She whispered in a neighbor's ear, As I had feared she'd do.

The neighbor .donned her new fur coat And went to make a call; She called on every soul she knew Ere night began to fall.

That story swept our quiet streetIt entered every door, And as it passed from tongue to tongue, It grew from more to more.

At length it fairly burst its bounds And spread across the town. And there on crowded thoroughfares, It hurried up and down.

It livened many a game of bridge, It warmed pale, listless tea, It climbed a bit and teased the ears Of aristocracy.

Men told it at their luncheon clubsOh yes, they gossiped too; Men like a spicy nanative As well as I and you.

Some told it with a knowing wink, Some with a cruel sneer, Some simply shrugged and let it Pass, Some hailed it with a jeer.

I marveled it could grow so great

From such a small beginning, And carry in its evil wake

So much of human sinning.

It smirched fair names and wrecked a home, 'It caused no end of trouble, And then it proved to be untrue

And burst just like a bubble.

Of course there was a libel suitI quietly left town;

But some one got a warrant qut And chased me up and down.

The story died, but scars remain To vex us here and there;

I'll never start a thing like that Again-I wouldn't. dare !

"Paul Bunyan's" Fuel P',le

A new mountain is rising at Westwood, California, rivaling the surrounding Sierra in the view of visitors to the plant of The Red River Lumber Company. It is the winter supply of boiler fuel, 13O,OO0 ,cubi,c yards, appr'oaching 2@ feet in height and with another 3O days to grow.

The ground fuel is delivered by a conveyor from the saw mill hogs and by an underground pneumatic tube a quarter of a mile long from the plywood factory. The waste from planers, stickers and sanders throughout the various departments and factories is concentrated through overhead tubes.

Up-to-date

Modern facilities... up-todate methods... a forwardIooking organizarion ...all combine to make

Dependable Quality Uniform Grades Friendly Service

Three bulldozers working on top of the pile spread this accumulation which is kept wet down bv streams from fire hose.

This is the largest winter fuel supply the Red River plant has built up in the past five years. This is due partly to in'creased produ,ction and also to improved efficiency in the utilization of steam. The boilers supply the steam power plant that backs up the hydro-electric supply, the dry kilns, plywood driers and the public and ,commercial buildings of Westwood and a large number of the residence buildings.

The mountain of BTU's assures capacity operation of the newly increased dry kilns and all other plant departments through the winter. Log storage decks are rapidly growing and the Paul Bunyan outfit anticipates full production until spring.

New Preservative lor Exterior \Toodwork

Portland, Oregon, October l-Marking a forward step with far reaching possibilities to the woodworking industry is the announcement by the Western Pine Association of a new and effective type of preservative, known as PERMATOL, for sash, doors, frames and other exterior millwork. It is the result of eighteen months' work by the Association's Research Laboratory in Portland, requiring a long series of tests, some of which were entirely new in laboratory technique. The outstanding properties of Permatol are its high toxic values, oil-soluble qualities and its high degree of permanence after injection into wood. Furthermore, it is inexpensive, easy te handle and simple to apply on all woods commonly used for millwork. Permatol does not affect the color, finish, size, shape or paintability of the wood. The treating can be done on completely assembled products. The laboratory tests have shown highly satisfactory results and give every indication that wood products properly treated with Permatol will be protected for a period of time equal to the average life of the structure in which they are placed.

The Permatol formula and recommended methods of treatment for its use on finished and semi-finished millwork products have been covered by a patent application filed in the U. S. Patent Office. Jt is offered for use without royalty or licensing restrictions.

The Association has ,prepared a cornprehensive 8-page bulletin, designated as Technical Bulletin No. 6 and titled: "PERMATOL, A Preservative Treatment for Exterior Millwork." Single copies may be secured by writing the 'Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland, Ore.
