A Ready Reckoner Table, revised to include tl-re 10 per cent freight rate increase authorized by the Iuterstate Commerce Commission effective October 13, has been published by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and is norv available.

The Table computes the changes in dollars per thousand feet, board measure, for various weights of lumber from 400 to 3500 pounds, at the principal markets of the United States. In the Table figures, the 1O per cent increase is added as a surcharge to the freight bill.

To make it easy to compute the present freight rates, the basic West Coast Freight Rate Book has been supplemented to reflect the exact increases in rates resulting from the 10 per cent rise.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association also has published a freight rate map showing increased rates to the principal market areas.

The Ready Reckoner Table is available at a cost of l0 cents. Cost of the map is 25 cepts. Cost of the Freight Rate Book is $60 annually, with individual states available at from $1.50 to $3.50. Copies of any of the foregoing may be obtained by writing the Traffic Department, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 1410 S. W. Morrison Street, Portland 5, Oregon.
