the first cause of the general in
stability of the industry. For one
thing il has led to building mills
beyond the demand for their pro-
ducts At least a third of the saws
are now idle.
On the other hand. the forest
service reports that social and eco
nomic changes in the United States
are reducing its proportionate use
Of lumber. Uses taken over by
other structural materials within
the last 10 years are estimated at
one-fifth of the present yearly cut
of lumber; and in the same period
the per capita consumption of lum-
Der seems to have passed it's peak
and dropped nearly One-fourth.
Caught with its burden of timber
land on the one hand and these
changes in the country's use of
wood on the other, the lumber in
dustry. the report points out, has
been between an upper and neither
milltsone. The combined result is
an i'll adjustment of lumber pro-
duction to market requirements,
with frequent. almost chronic over
production. Ups and downs have
been the rule with most manufac-
turers in the west and south. Oc-
casional years of high earnings have
been followed by usually longer
periods OF small profits or loss. The
latter reached their climax in 1914
and 1915. although 1916 brought
somewhat better conditions.
In the regions studied by the for
est service, it found that lumber
production. with local exceptions,
is competitive. as a rule keenly so.
Competition becomes still more Wig
orous in its struggle between differ
ent regions in selling lumber in the
main consuming markets of the
country.
Lumber retailing was studied in
all of the middle western states
only. In that region the service
found it TO be competitive for the
most part. although IT'S competition
is less rigorous than in the case of
lumber manufacturers. The re-
straints upon trade in lumber dis
tributiOn. however, in the central
states studied. are judged to be To-
cal rather than general; and de-
velopments in recent years have
tended to increase competition.
The rising cost of lumber to con
sumers witch held generally up 10
1907. is attributed by the forest ser
vice primarily to the exhaustion of
the supplies of timber nearest TO the
bulk of eastern consumers, and the
necessity OF transporting lumber
from greater and greater distances.
Railroad freights now take a fifth
or more Of the consumers price. re
tailers about the same amount, and
manufacturers. on the average, lit
tie more than one-half The high
cost OF lumber is thus due in large
part 10 local timber shortage. re-
sulting from the rapid using up of
forests without provision for their
renewal other causes. according
10 the service. lie in the greater de-
mands for specialized service made
upon the retailer by the purchasing
public. in higher labor costs. and
in the decreasing purchasing power
of money. Since 1907. however. the
effects OF overproduction have been
felt. and the prices of common
structural woods have made no sus-
tanned increase.

ROAD BUILDING
FOR PRISONERS
This Industry Should Be In
CIuded in Comprehensive
System of Penal Labor.

Road building should be in
cluded in a comprehensive system
of prison industries" stated John J..
Manning to a representative of the
national committee on prisons. Mr.
Manning was outlining the scheme
for the reorganization of the prison
industries of New York state.
fathered by the State Federation of
Labor.
THE state federation" he point
ed out. has always taken a pro-
gressive attitude toward prison in
dustries. To labor men is due the
plank in the state constitution of
1894, which prohibits the unfair
competition of convict-made goods
and provides for these goods a mar
ket in the state institutions and de-
partments.

sentative group Of LABOR men visit

LlltS III Audl lHSllluAtOu. 1IlS year
the federation is presenting to the
people of the state a comprehensive
scheme for the reorganization of
the industries of all the penal in
stitutiOns. Our plan includes the
establishment Of a board of stand
ardization and classification to
standardize and classify the COM
mOditieS which the different state
institutions consume for a period
of not less than 10 years.
IF this were done" Mr.. Man
ming asserted. the prison industries
could be put on a sound working
basis. The prison authorities would
then be assured of their market and
warranted in preparing a stock OF
goods for immediate delivery. which
would prevent the present manipu-
lation of the law by the different
state departments in regard 10 the
purchase Of prison made goods
Should BE Diversified
The industries in which the state
engages should be as diversified as
posi- BILE. This would afford oppor-
tunity for industrial training for
every prisoner and would prevent
the overproduction of mechanics in
any one line, so that on discharge
the men could readily be assimn-
ated in the trades in which they
have become proficient while in
prison.
The system OF prison industries
should include farms for those who
aim IN bacoma FL r,,,er. apd Tor tbo
old and those incapacitated for in
dustrial work. There should also
be developed a comprehensive sys-
tenn for building roads along the
lines found practical and profitable
in other states"
The inclusion OF road building in
this scheme is encouraging TO those
who believe that, when rightly or
ganized, il can afford opportunity 10
many convicts and returns in better
roads and better men 10 the state.
The national committee on prisons
is strongly of this opinion and also
endorses the whole scheme outlined
BY Mr.. Manning. The action Of the
New York Federation OF Labor
should have far-reaching results.
