Administrator Signs Lumber and Furniture \(/ase Orders

Washington, Oct. 22-General Philip B. Flenting, Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U. S. Department of Labor, announced today that he had signed a wage order requiring pavment of at least 35 cents an hour in the lumber industry, and another requiring payment of at least 4O cents an hour in the wood furniture industry. Both of these orders r,vill go into effect November 3.

The minimum wages established by these orders were recommended by industry committees appointed under the Wage and Hour Law. On September 30 General Fleming informed the industries that he would approve the recommendations.

The minimum rate of 35 cents an hour in the lumber industry will increase the wage rate of about 168,000 workers. The 40 cents an hour minimum rate in the furniture industry will increase the rate of about 43,000 workers. Most of these workers in both industries are employed in the South.

In issuing the wage orders General Fleming also made public his Findings and Opinion. His Findings in the wood furniture recommendation draw a line between dimension stock and "furniture parts" produced in establishments other than furniture factories. The first is under the lumber wage order requiring at least 35 cents an hour; the second is under the wood furniture wage order requiring at least 40 cents an hour. General Fleming's findings in this respect read:

"ft was deemed advisable in order to minimize cutting across plant lines to place within the Lumber and Timber Products fndustry, the manufacture of dimension stock normally produced by lumber mills even if such stock eventually found its way into the manufacture of furniture and to place the manufacture of furniture parts under the definition of the Wood Furniture Manufacturing Industry. Under this principle of demarcation between the industries, wood parts are considered to be furniture parts if the manufacturer has gone beyond such processes as ripsawing, cut-off sawing, moulding, planing, resawing and edge glueing, and they are produced for a furniture manufacturer or there is reasonable expectation on the bgsis of business experience that such parts will be manufactured into furniture. If the parts are not destined for ultimate manufacture into furniture or if the manufacturer limits his production to the enumerated processes, the Lumber and Timber Products Industry definition applies. In the event the products are furniture parts and subject to the Wood Furniture Manufacturing Industry definition, they are covered beginning after the delivery of the wood from the kiln or air-dried dimension shed whether produced by a furniture manufacturer or a dimension stock manufacturer."

Paciftc Lumber Co. lstues New Manual on Frozen Food Locker Plants

Featuring the fact that over 1,000 locker plants have been insulated with Palco Wool (redwood bark insulation), The Pacific Lumber Company's new 2o-page Frozen Food Locker Manual just off the press is meeting with wide interest among the trade, according to Edric E. Brown, manager of the bark products division.

The introduction, which stresses the importance of frozen food locker plants as a factor in national security and defense, as well as in our national economy, mentions the fact that Palco Wool insulated locker plants now protect fresh ftozen foods valued in excess of $10,000.00, r,r'ith a yearly turn-over of $25,000.00.

From cover to cover the new manual is crammed with illustrations of interiors and exteriors of Palco Wool insulated jobs. The first section deals with the operation of the locker plant, explaining each step in customer service and also lists authorities and various phases of locker construction and operation.

The next section discusses the operation of lockers in connection with food markets and butcher shops and shows how locker plants help to build patronage for other lines.

The latter portion is given over to photographs and testimonials and includes a partial list of Palco Wool insulated locker plants in 3l states and Canada. Another feature is the "X-ray" draw,ing of the model plant of the Frozen Food Locker Co., Memphis, Tennessee.

The back cover illustrates typical Palco Wool insulated jobs in the general cold storage field, including Hormel's newest addition, the new Tobin Packing Company plant, the California Walnut Growers and Dayton's "Minneapolis" fur storage.

Copies of the new manual are available to anyone writing to The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco.

The Hom e Delense

Since Dad has joined the Home Defense

He's all slicked up and looks immense. He walks with military stride

His chin is up, denoting pride. He's not round-shouldered any more Nor weary as in days of yore. His burdens do not worry him

For he is full of pep and vim.

He's got a uniform that fits

And one of those new service kits. When he goes out upon his beat, Patrolling up and down the street, He's straight in body and in limb

And we are mighty proud of him. He seems fifteen years younger than He was back, when the war began.

He's got a brand-new slant on life

Since Uncle Sam joined in the strife. He's lost the grouch he used to wear

When things went blooey anywhere. We never have a family row

He's fighting for his country now.

He's trained until from head to heel

He's mighty fit and hard as steel.

He's got us kids all standing straight

The way he drills us nights is great. He even makes the cook salute

That's going some, for she's a beaut.

He is so full of fighting pep

He wants to go and make a rep.

And, were all others on the shelf

He'd win the war all bv himself.

West Coast Lumbermen's Association

Northern California Retailers Elect Offtcers Promotes More Farm Building at Annual Convention

With the farm policy of the Government geared into national defense for increased production of grains, beef, pork, eggs, butter, lard, and other basic foods, expansion of existing farm plants is a nation-rvide need, says the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, in announcing its fall and winter program on farm building.

A farm-building issue of Big Trees, an Association publication for distribution to consumers by retail lumber dealers, is the first move in this drive. Showing that only 1.3 cents of the farm dollar is expended for home-building materials, while but 2.8 cents goes for service-building materials on the farm, lumbermen believe these percentages can be increased.

"There will also be more farm dollars this year than in any year since 1929," the Association points out. "The condition of farm plants has gone steadily downhill during the past decade.

"Farm building repairs are a nation-wide need. Increased farm production requires new buildings as well. There is promise that farm building will be put on a par with defense housing, in relation to priorities on critical building materials.

"These are metals. There is no shortage in lumber, and lumber and nails are the basic materials of barn, hoghouse, poultry house and granary.

"There will be shortages in other products which commonly take a large share of the farm dollar. This is another factor of promise for farm building, as it will tend to divert more farm income into improvements on the farm plant."

Single copies of Big Trees may be had upon request to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Stuart Building, Seattle, Wn. Retail lumber dealers may obtain free copies for consumer distribution, on the basis of 100 per yard, through their retail association secretaries.

Wood Plane Aircraft Industry's Answer to Bottlenecks

A laminated mahogany airplane, unveiled September 23 at Roosevelt Field, New York, may be the aircraft industry's solution to bottlenecks and metal priorities.

Designed by Martin Jensen, who placed second in the Dole flight from California to Hawaii in 1927, the plane is built like a miniature transport. Powered by two 65 h.p. motors, it will carry four persons, cruise at 125 m.p.h. and maintain altitude on one engine with a full load. The designer claims for it an hourly operation cost of $1.65 in fuel and oil.

Tissue-thin sheets of wood are molded over forms to make the fuselage, wings, control surfaces, and cowling. Backing of asbestos sheeting insulates the points where fire might occur. While this construction is not fireproof, it is fireresistant as tests demonstrated when a blow-torch burned through stainless steel and aluminum alloy sheets in two seconds, but the asbestos backed laminated wood stood up for 30 seconds.

Arthur F. Draper, former Navy pilot, directed construction of Jensen's design, which will be produced by the Langley Aviation Corporation, headed by Caleb S. Bragg, World War flyer. The company states that the price for production models will set an "unprecedented low for any aircraft of similar size and performance.t'
