SUBSTANTIAL GAIN
SEEN IN BUILDING
National Lumber Dealers
President Says Improve
ment May Be Slow.
FREIGHT RATES STILL HIT
Unpleasant Memories of 1921 Re-
called, But Lumber Showed
Stability.

Indications point to substantial
Improvement in the building industry
this spring and summer. in the opin-
ion of J. w. Mcclure. president of the
National Wholesale Lumber Dealers
Association, expressed this week al
the annual meeting of the lumber
men at the Willard. The Improvement
may develop slowly, however, he said
The volume of building now under
way and in prospect for this year is
probably the greatest in the hlstofy
of our country, Mr.. Mcclure stated
The enormous amounts appropriated
and being expended for read building,
while perhaps not directly affecting
the lumber business, will give en-
ployment to large numbers and Will
add to the general purchasing power
of the country. while recent improve
ments in the values of stocks and in
the iron and steel trade. in the prices
of grains and other agricultural
products all forecast better condf-
tions for the future, it was observed.
Many Brakes Retnrdips.
However. there are many brakes
retarding this progress" the lumber
official declared, the principal one
being the unstable conditions In Eu-
rope, so that the better we can eX-
pect. perhaps, for this year and prob
ably next is q slow and halting i'm
provement. If we recognize the
change in the rules of the game under
new conditions we need not be con-
tent to break even or to make small
profits. If we cannot make money
through advancing values we can
still profit by decreasing costs and
cutting down overhead.
There are many problems of ma
:ional and international scope which
yy,ftt n
men than I are working faithfully
toward their proper solution. Regard
ing the railway situation, another
year has gone by without any sub
stantial relief from the high
freights. which is the largest single
factor in the cost of our product de-
Iivered to the consumer.
Has Reached "Deadlock.''
apparently the situation has
reached d deadlock. which 1 believe
can only be broken by the repeal of
the AdamSon law. The heavy in
crease in wages which was saddled
upon the railways through the action
their troubles. The effective destruc-
lion of the authority and discipline
of the railway managers over their
organiza tions Is directly responsible
for the decentralization. waste and in
creased operating costs which fol-
lowed.
The railroads themselves and the
governmental bodies having regu-
iatory supervision over them can do
little or nothing to relieve shippers
and the general public so long as the
AdamSon law acts as an artificial re-
straint against all natural and eco
nomic laws.
1921's Memories.
THE year 1921 did not leave many
pleasant orios for the most of ,ls
AT times it seemed that all precedent

through uncharted seas. 1t should
he said. however. that the lumber
industry showed remarkable stability
and less wreckage than most other
important industries Ours was one
of the first industries to liquidate
selling prices and adjust costs to
meet the changed conditions
Now that We are again on terra
f1rma, and time is beginning to
soften the memories Of our unusual
difficulties in 1921. we will begin to
look back on the old year with an
appreciation for the valuable lessons
impressed upon US, even though Sc
verely done. and we will learn to
capitalize and profit by the experience
so harshly gained. We now have the
satisfaction Of knowing that the
worst IS behind US and that the fu-
ture course Is turning upward toward
better things"
