NEW YORK, August "a danger

as:either the coal or rail strikes is loom

of this year building construction has
been the dependable activity on which
hung the livelihood and prosperity CT
millions of workers. not only those en-
gagged in the building trades. but those
in the production and manufacture or
building materials. Now further build
ing construction is menaced by Tuna-
way lumber market
Dispatches received within the last
twenty-four hours from an expert IN
the south fully cognizant OF every move
inent in the lumber industry and thor
oughiy in touch with business condi-
tions throughout the nation indicate
that apprehension Is fully warranted.
One hundred and twenty-seven southern
mills alone have unified orders on their
books aggregating in the neighborhood
OF over 300.000.000 feet Of pine lumber.
Working at top speed II would require
five weeks to catch up with those orders.
But orders are coming in to the SOUTH
ern mills at the rate of 100000 feet a
week in excess of the rate OF production.
Thus these mills are not only more tiian
308DOO0O0 feet behind their orders but
are; falling 100000 feet further behind
every week.
Few of the hundreds of thousands
prospective householders, OF the
thousands Of contractors and builders
and lumber dealers realize the trend
of events, but men in the lumber
trade see it coming. In evidence or

Desire to Build in Evidence.
Lumber and building construction
ere inseparable. The country has
only begun to relieve the dwelling
shortage and the need for additional
business structures. The need, the
desire and the capital to build are
in evidence, but sudden and extra
ordinary increases In the price of
lumber would check building as
effectively as any strike. For build,

building costs. The upward trend
OF =Custs already is apparent both in
labor and materials. but the curve
upward has been comparatively
slight so far. and building has con-
