LUMBER MEN MEET
 IN BIRMINGHAM

Birmingham, Dec. l4.-(special)--- Most of the lumber mills throughout this section Of the country are hold ing down on their cuts in order that they may be prepared to give their plants the annual overhaullng before entering another year.
 This Is the information that enia- mated from the regular December meeting of the Alabama West Florida Lumber Manufacturers Association. which was held in Birmingham today.
 J. T. Buriingame of Yellow Pine, the President. was in the chair and the attendance was fairly good.
 The matter of odd lengths" which was the subject of considerable dis cnssion simply means that the mill men intend to bill their boards by the lineal foot instead of in multiples of two as heretofore. It has been the rule that the lumber was sold to the retailer in even lengths of two foot multiples. The mill man lost the odd foot when the stocKs did not cut In even lengths. The odd lengths propo- sitlon will very probably meet with strenuous opposition from the retailer. It Is believed that the new rule will be finally agreed upon and put into effect with the opening of the new years business.
 Resolutions were adopted out of re- spect to the memory of J. E. Defa- baugh, late editor of The American Lumberman, whose death occurred several weeks ago.
 trip through the steel plant at Ensley was a feature of the session here.
