HIGH PAY, LESS WORK
HITS LUMBER TRADE
Dealers Declare Output Has
Been HaIved, While Wages
Go Up 800 Per Cent
B00Ms INCREASE SCARCITY

Men in the lumber camps and saw
mills are doing half as much work as
before for three times as much pay
Thousands who formerly worked in
the mills and lumber camps have gone
to the tobacco fields and other lines Of
work less strenuous.
These are the two chief reasons for
the high cost of lumber, local dealers
say.
Hundreds of men who were formerly
satisfied with the life in a sawmill and
the small towns down South changed
their view of life entirely after entering
the country's service. Many got taste
Of big city life for the first time. They
met youths Of their own age who earned
three times as much money as they of
the South did.
City attractions also appealed to
them, and so the sawmll life and the
home town movie seemed slow and in
significant.
Large Wage Demanded
Those who did return demanded big
pay and the employers had to meet the
demand or close down their mills.
An illustration of increase in the cost
per thousand feet of ordinary lumber
may be seen by the following compari-
son of present prices with those of four
years ago.

A representative of Charles F. Felin
& Co., Old York road and Butler street,
said that mills are only providing about
60 per cent of their normal output.
The resumption of building booms in
Philadelphia and other cities will, Of
course, increase the scarcity, he said.
Normal building activities were resumed
by other cities some time ago, and
Philadelphia was the last to start.
Higher Wages, Less Work
In addition to receiving higher wages,
employees of the saw mills down South
are doing less work, according to a
representative of the firm of Joseph II.
Collins & Son, dealers, Twelfth street
and Glenwood avenue.
"a working force which formerly pro-
duced $4,000 feet a day." he said "now
produces %, 900 feet and receives three
times as much wages as before. This is
one of the many reasons for increase in
the cost of lumber The men are not re-
turning to the mills, but are going to
the tobacco fields and to other lines.
The mills are oversold all the time.
incidentally, many of the men working
in the mills are driving about in lin
cuisines"
A representative of Charles Benton
d Co., Front and Reed streets, and
>those of other concerns agreed that the
chief cause of lumber scarcity was the
failure of the southern mills to turn
out the work

Term That In MisannIied-

The name daisy Is said to have been
given to the plant by the poet Chaucer,
In the fourteenth century. He noticed
that the petals folded at sunset and
expanded at sunrise, and therefore
called 1t day's-eye. Therefore, our
