Never before was there as complete a
shutdown Of the shingle mills OF Wash
lnsRon as AZ present, under the order OF
the Washington Red Cedar Single Manu-
facturers' Association. Wednesday morn
ing the association sent out notices OF
the result OF the vote on the question Of
closing from May Is 10 June l. Yes
tsrday information was received which
shows that at least % per cent. OF the
shingle mills have closed. and almost 20
per cent. OF the mixed car mill single
product has been cut on. This Is by far
the best showing ever made In either
class OF mills. and augurs well for the
maintenance OF prices az established by
the association for the balance Of the sea-
SON.
While there II no list IN effect at pres
ent. nor will there be any until after re-
sumption OF operations on June 4. II is
stated no orders are being accepted at less
than the old association list. In fact on
good authority II IL stated that several
mills which, prior to the signing or the
agreement, had accepted and placed on
file cut list orders for the Eastern mar
ket. have since returned them to pros
pective purchasers stating they cannot be
flled at less than list.
There IL not at present, u In said, de-
msnd for the product from any Of the
Eastern markets. This condition, however.
was predicted az, under the present con-
dition OF the market. there " goody
stock in the hands of Eastern dealers
awaiting consumption. This stock, how
ever, 10 not 80 large but that II would
suddenly disappear with an ordinary de-
mand from the trade The stand taken by
the mills not to sell at less than list
during the close down will, II is predicted,
work good and be one of the means In
reviving the market.
The silencing OF the great machinery In
nearly $50 mills on Puget sound has tenn
porarily thrown out of employment, at
q conservative estimate, between $500 and
400 msn. From all districts. however
comes the report that there is no COM
plaiant on their part and they are per-
fectly willing TO bear their share OF the
burden rather than the consequences that
were sure TO follow continuation OF ope-
rations. They are not moving away. but
quietly enjoying three weeks vacation
from labor and putting I'm the time in
recreation.
The stock OF shingles on hand at the
various mills Is said To be far short Of
the amount reported, although It is as
great as at any previous period.
