INVESTIGATION Of LUMBER
INDUSTRY TO Be ON new lines

the conditions known to the trade as
over-production, the effects upon pro-
duction and market prices of specula-
ton in timber and of carrying charges,
producing and distributing cost includ-
ing freight and the charges levied
upon the product by wholesalers and
retailers. and the amount of waste
under present methods of exploitation.
Special attention will be given 10
means of utilizing low grades of lum-
Der and by-products.
1t is recognized that the national for
ests are becoming an increasingly i'm
portant factor in the timber market
through the offerings of government
stumpage. and this aspect of the stu
alton will receive careful analysis
The question of future supplies and
the need for the general practice OF
forestry to provide them is another i'm
portant part of the field to be covered
From the outset the data gathered
by the bureau of domestic and foreign
commerce of the department of COM
merce will be correlated with those IN
possession of the forest service and the
bureau of corporations, to the end that
a complete and exhaustive study may
be assured Importations of timber
products from foreign countries and
the possible extension OF foreign mar
kets for our own timber are recog-
nized as factors which must De thor

Washington, July 27.-The plans now
being perfected for the forest service
part of the inquiry to be made jointly
by the departments of commerce and
agriculture into timber and lumber
trade conditions In the United States
provide for covering entirely new
ground.
Lumbermen are now admittedly con-
Quoting their operations with a large
percentage of waste. said to be largely
due to market conditions which make
close utilization improbable. There is
no general agreement as to the actual
causes of existing conditions and the
responsibility for present undoubted
evils. With rapidly diminishing sup
plies of timber to draw upon, waste
full numbering has come to be recog-
nized as a matter of serious public
concern and an inquiry to discover the
causes and seek for possible remedies
is regarded by forest service officials
as an urgent need. 1t is believed that
the lumber industry itself recognizes
the need and will welcome an inquiry
conducted along constructive lines.
Private capital invested in timber
lands. mills, logging railroads, and
other forms of equipment reach an
enormous aggregate and the lumber
industry, which employs $4,000 per-
sons and has an annual output valued
at 1l-6 billion dollars, Is the third larg-
est in the country. In seeking to real
lie conditions which will safeguard
the public against wasteful methods
of timber exploitation, possible timber
monopoly, and other Objectionable
practices while insuring healthy con-
ditions and fair treatment for the lum-
Der trade an understanding Of the ba-
sic facts is Indispensable. These facts
however have never been ascertained
in their entirety. 1t is the purpose OF
the Forest Service to obtain and in
terpret them impartially in coopera-
ton with the other bureaus assigned
to the study.
Lumbermen complain that the carry
ing charges created by interest on
long-term investments, taxes, and cost
of fire protection where such protection
is given compel them to operate even
where lumber prices will not repay
them the costs involved. The neces-
slty of operating under these condi-
Z
lions is advanced as the principal
cause of waste since the market Is
most easily glutted with lumber of the
poorer grades, which must then be
left manufactured, On the other
hand, the public complains that the
cost of lumber is so high. Overcom-
petition may result in destruction OF
/ timber resources with no commensurate
| advantage to the consumer but with
| the certainty of unnecessarily high
prices later. Yet restriction of com
petition on the part of lumbermer
| with view to greater profits FOL
themselves through higher prices Is
both contrary to law and highly OBJ
| jectionable from the standpoint OF
/ public policy. Thus a highly complex
situation exists, Any attempt to adj
! Just the present conflict OF interests
on a basis fair both to the public anc
| to the lumber industry demands full
| knowledge of all the facts.
Lines of inquiry provided for by the
plans of the forest service include the
present lumber output and demand

HARTLAND WOODEN
MILL IS CLOSED
INDEFINITELY
Somerset County Facing Facts
And Beginning to Appreci-
ate Mistake of Some
Voters 2 Years Ago

skowhegan, Me-, July % (SpeciaD.--
The Hartland wooden mill closed Sat
urday for an indefinite time and the
superintendent and also the foreman
of the mill give as the reasons. bust
ness depression. This mill has suf-
fered by the tariff and the owners as
sert that not in ten years has the bust
ness been so poor as in the past year.
Two paper mills in this county are
running as they term it from hand
to mouth" on orders,-something that
has not been done in the past five
years, and the superintendent of one
of these mills stated that until the
past year. the mill could not keep up
on its orders and there has not been
a time until the past year that the
mill had not work enough to run ex-
ira machines, where today the regular
machines are hardly running. The
owner of another paper mill in the
county stated Friday that with the
present tariff and the effect that it Is
having on the paper business in this
State in two years the paper industry
will be at standstill This same man
said with the tariff walls of Canada
down and with the six new paper mills
that are being rushed to completion
there in two years in Maine would be
a dead issue in the paper business
These things are not mentioned for
the purpose of crying hard times but
considering that Democratic paper
in recent issue displayed from the
paper trade journals the news report
that the Savage Manufacturing Com
pany in Skowhegan had been incor-
porated thus trying to prove that the
paper business was good, the people
ask for the facts in regard to business
The manager of one of the paper com
panies that was referred to in this
Democratic paper stated only last
week that one of the company's mills
only the paper manufacturing business
preston and that another one of their
big mills was going, but very slack
and orders come hard, something that
has not happened to the company be-
fore in many years. One manufacturer
of paper stated that unless he was
furnishing his goods under contract he
could not keep running,
That these reports as given herewith
are true, one may easily determine by
personal interviews with the manufac-
turers themselves. For the most part
only the paper manufacturing business
has been mentioned here, as one Dem
ocratic paper considered only this
business. but this business is by ne
means the only one affected by the
tariff. A superintendent of a wooler
mill in this county, who Is Demo
crat, has admitted that he is dis
appointed in the administration
He said he had not believed tha
his business would be affected by the
tariff law but he had found out thal
it had been, and his mill has been run

shut down longer and at more ire
