Topeka lumber dealers are feeling
rather acutely the shortage in build
ing timber, according to J. D. Hath

pany. To the present time there has
been a critical freight shortage in the
west, but while the freight situation
is being largely relieved, the condi-
ton in the western mills is causing TN
easineSS. Much labor trouble, and
many strikes prevail along the Pa
cific coast. In the single mills, the
output is very small, and many of the
lumber mills have closed.
The large demands of the govern
ment in building materials which take
priority over the claims of private
dealers. have helped to accentuate the
shortage and the high price of TIM

however, is anticipated.
