ont OF the 2o7 shingle mills in the state
or Washington no fewer Than tx ara ,.,,
smut doWn, and viii make no output until
aiter February l. The proportion of tho
od.pat OF the twenty-five mills which are
sun running 10 the total output for the
entire STATE Is equally striking The daily
pfoauGt o. the 2l7 mills is - saa 80 shin
So. re lew mills now in operation have
an output Of only ] $50 asi These figures
are authentic. having been compiled by
'ictur n Beckman. of the Pacific Lum-
Der Trade Journal
On the surface" said Mr. Beckman,
these figures might look like an adj
Fsrsity story But they are far from in
uicddhg hard times. They mean that a
large majority OF the shingle manufae-
tnrers or the state are able TO shut down
fher mills and wait for better prices,
which the shutting down Will help 10
bring about. This will effect a saving of
something like Sls5.ao How Why, in
this way: Shingles are now going at 90
cents for +As's. IL these mills stay closed
down for sixty or seventy days the price
VIII be $l-25. OF course it is hardly to be
expected that all the mills will stand by
the agreement to the end. Some Of them
Will weaken. some will be forced: but
most or them will hold out. The result,
feel sure. will be as L have Indicated
A complete list of the mills now shut
