Al PER CENT OF LUMBER
CROP EXPORTED IN 1918.

Only IL per cent Of the total lum-
ber production Of the United States
was exported in 1918, according to
recent government figures, which. it
is declared, prove how unfounded is
the statement reported to have been
made by a prominent forester that
"our forests are being drained to
support foreign factories
In 1918 the government figures give
somewhat more than 100000, 900 feet
Of lumber as exported out of an es-'
timated production of $4,000. .oOo.o 600
feet. OF these exports about no.
100000 feet was in railroad ties, not
quite as much. in hewn and sawed
timber, while more than 1,000,000,000
feet was in the form of boards, planks
and DEALS.
Figures for the first three months
of 1919 show only a slight increase
monthly figures of the last half of
1918. For April, May and June, 1913.
the exports are greater, the increase
in value being about 40 per cent over
the average value of 1918 months. But.
even If the entire year of 1919 shows
an increase of 40 per cent, which is ex-
tremely unlikely-June, 1919. exports
of merchandise were the peak and
July figures were 30 per cent lower
on this extreme supposition. the total
lumber exports for 1919 would be less
than 2.000, 100000 feet out of total
predicted production of 32.000,009 900
feet, or about the equivalent OF the
1918 yield
Authorities further state that a
large part of the exported lumber
contains knots, contrary to the re-
port that we are sending abroad our
best timber. In Europe knots are not
generally regarded as defect, but
are sometimes preferred for their !
decorative effects. In 1918 it is quite /;
possible more high-grade lumber was
exported than formerly for airplane
construction, but patriotic critics OF
exporting would be slow to condemn |
this use. |

construction took about 1s1.0e0,000
feet, more than half of which was
spruce. In this connection, the total
amount purchased was probably
twice these figures, as the yield Of
cant's in airplane lumber Is about SO
per cent, and the figures given repre-
sent the amount actually shipped to
airpIane factories up to January 3,
1919.
The figures given are only ap-
proximate as to the total amount OF
lumber used. as they represent only
raw material and direct purchases.
For instance, large quantities Of
lumber were purchased indirectly in
the form of boxes and crates, and
much was bought in the form of

DOC REPLIES
TO LABOR MEN
Walton Rents From "0pen
Shop" Firm Declared,

Criticism Of the Voters League
made by several labor unions IN res
olu,.ons passed at recent meetings
was answered today by A. L. Mon
roney. manager OF the league.
Several unions have condemned
the league for the very principle tina,
is the backbone OF organized labor
that lS tie right to band for mutual
protection" said Monroney
Basic idea Ia Same.
"ust as union workers organize 10
fight the common foes OF labor. 50
the right thinking citizens Of Okla
homa City have organized TO battle
the enemies OF good, clean city gov
ernment. The basic idea back Of both
labor unions and the Voters League
is identical-organiKation Tor protee-
tion against a common foe
One OF the chief charge, made
against the league by union, is that
the league has headquarters rented
from an open shop printing concern
In replying to this, Monroney said:
THE league rented those quarters
because they were in a suitable loca-
ton, and for no other reason. The
fact that an open shop concern 10 the
landlord does not Imply that the
league indor,es the attitude Of that
concern toward union labor, In fact,
few tenants agree with their land
lords, and the league does not in
dorse antagonism toward labor.
Unions making this charge choose
10 ignore the fact that ]. {, Walton,
candidate for mayor and self-styled
friend OF labor. also Is renting poii,i-
cal headquarters from an open shop
concern. Walton's campaign offices
at HOY North Broadway are rented
from an electrical contracting firm

Question Raised.
Does the fact that Walton has es-
tablished headquarters in rooms he
rents from an open shop concern
prove Walton is antagonistic tow ard
the unions' II it does, then the un-
ions charges against the Voters
League are just II il does not, then
those charges are unwarranted, for
the two cases are exactly parallel.
The Voters League has had no
printing done by any non union con-
cern. Every sheet OF i,s printed mat.

sincere ideas Tro,rky was described
as being purely an adven,urer, who
