WASTE SAWDUST IS
PUT TO MANY USES
GOVERNMENT RECEIVES RE-
PORT FROM NORWAY
In Addition to Dynamite, Flooring
and Linoleum May Be Manu-
factured with Wood
"Flour'

WASHINGTON Dec. 19.-Flour from
sawdust is another step in the move
ment for the conservation of forest
resources The United States consul
at Christiania, Norway, has sent to
this government a suggestion along
this line which may be of value to
American lumbermen who are wrestling
with the problem of sawdust waste.
The flour in question Is not the kind
which goes into the making of light
fluffy biscuit but it is an ingredient
of dynamite, .linoleum, xyolite, which,
for the information of the man on the
street. is a kind of artificial flooring,
and other things. 1t is not put forward
as a new discovery, for 1t has been in
use for several years in Europe. and
to a small extent in this country.
The wood flour is ground in a cheap
mill very similar to those which grind
corn and rye. Pine and spruce saw
dust is used in Europe, and after pass
ing through the stones and the bolting
chest it is sacked sr baled for ship
ment 1t is then worth $12 to $13 a
ton.
The -four has number of uses. one
of which is in the making of dyna-
mite. 1t is the absorbent for the nj
troglycerlne, which is the explosive
ferior to that made with infusorial
earth as the absorbent, but 1t serves
many purposes and is cheaper. But
dynamite is one of the smallest pros
pective uses for the product. Linoleum
makers mix 1t with linseed oil and give
body to their floor coverings. 1t is
not considered quite equal to ground
cork for this purpose. as it is less
elastic, but it is cheaper and meets
requirements for medium grades.
The flour fills an important place in
the manufacture of xyolite a kind of
artificial flooring, resembling wood in
weight and stone in other respects. 1t
is used for kitchen floors, and in halls,
corridors, cafes. restaurants and pub
lie rooms. 1t is imperVious to water
and is practically fireproof. II is floor
material in some of the German war
vessels. 1t is so used because 1t Is not
liable to take fire or splinter If struck
by shells.
Many additional uses for wood flour
will probably be found. The amount
of sawdust to be had in this country
is practically unlimited, and millmen
will welcome any plan that will lessen
the waste at the sawdust dump. Nor
way exports thousands of tons of this

GOMPERS CRIflCISES IN
FEDERATI0NIST EDITORIAL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, published Wig
orous editorial in this months issue OF
the Federationist, official organ of the
labor body. against both the action of
the supreme court Of the District of
Columbia and the recommendation in
President Taft's message to congress
with reference to the necessity for no
tice and hearing before injnction writs
are granted.
Both the action and the recommen-
dation of the president are criticised,
the former on the ground that it was
without sanction of law and the latter
on the ground that the president did
not advocate anything that could be
attached to an existing law or that
could modify it,
Referring to President Taft's recon-
mendation, MIR. Gompers declares 1t
proposes no Improvement on any eX-
listing law, because no such law exists.
