is experiencing distressing demoraiiz-
alton.
Most attention was given 10 the
lumber situation In the hearing that
occupied the attention Of the commits
sion for four hours, but the grain situ-
alton. the fruit situation and various
other industries that represent the
Pacific Northwest received ample at
tention.
The commissions hearings were in
formal, although all the testimony was
transcribed for future reference by the
commission. The session was opened
by Joseph e. Davies, tho chairman.
who subsequently asked G. G. Colt,
Of Portland, to preside.
The various elements that have con-
tributed to the present stagnation of
the lumber industry were presented for
the commissions review.
Foremost in the list Of causes was
placed the diminishing demand due to
the European war. but next in order
and closely behind It were placed care
less financing and speculation. Diff
Guilty In obtaining charters also was
named as q contributing factor. and
this condition, Il was pointed out. was
due entirely to the war.
The commission also received some
written testimony in addition to the
oral evidence. and some Of these doc
uments emphasized the tariff as the
probable cause Of depression in some
branches of the lumber industry, par
ticularly the shingle industry. Re-
moval of the shingle tariff has permit
ted shingles manufactured in British
Columbia to enter into unnatural COM

turers Of Oregon and Washington.
