At the annual meeting of the Missis-
sippi Valley Lumber Manufacturers
association. held in Minneapolis.
Mimi, the Canadian competition un-
der the present free lumber schedule
of the German tariff was freely dis
cnssed. 1t was decided that lower
freight rates would have to be OBJ
tanned over the railway lines trans
porting from the manufacturers to the
ers, otherwise the Valley lumber in
terests would have to give way largely
to the Canadian supply.
Should any concession be granted
by the railroad companies it will not
be expected to cover the entire loss
brought about by the new tariff, but
the reductions asked constitute a loss
sharing arrangement in which both
manufacturers and railways will suf-
fer Lumbermen have already re-
duced the prices of labor and of logs,
but find this inadequate to meet the
reductions in lumber, hence the pro-
posed recourse upon. other factors in
the ultimate cost of production.
Every proposition made in the con-
vention to restore the former price of
lumber to- the consumer met with
sound but disappointing reasons why
this could not be done, and the SUI
preme difficulty can be met only by
the railroads sharing the loss imposed
by the last congress.
