 After-War Problems

 There were over 20 concerns rep resented at the meeting of the Yellow Pine Slave and Headers association, an organization of Alabama and Georgia manufacturers They have been doing war work, on the priorities and pref erential lists, classed as an essential and all that, and the sudden ending o1 the war finds them without custom. CT. The government has no further use for their products and their be- fore-the-war customers have got to be looked up again. High cost of la bor and raw materials creates seri- ous situation" said Victor Kraft, sec retary of the association.
 Alabama and Georgia are the cen- ters of the yellow pine heading in dustry, practically all the plants in the country being located in these two states Their combined output runs close to 25,000,000 barrels year. Since the war began they have been work ing almost exclusively on government contracts, and the transition back to ordinary commercial business, with an uncertain market and hiVh wages and high cost of materials, presents prob
 saa hard for them to solve.
 The representatives present at the meeting discussed the situation from all it's angles and advised with each other as to the best course to pur- sue in returning to peace-time busi- ness
