Starting in Small Way
PlYwood Industry Grows
To Be Mammoth Business
Tocomo Is Hub of Vast Enterprise;
Oregon ond Washington Produce Neorly
Billion Squore Feet Annually

Starting In a small way with n
mill more than 80 years ago, the
plywood industry has grown to
represent millions OF dollars In In
vestments.
And. to find out anything about
the plywood industry, 1t is not
necessary to go farther than Ia
coma's industrial area. for here
the giant business centers.
In Tacoma. plywood, known as
the wood Of a thousand uses" Is
q l6-million dollar industry.
In Great Demand
OF the millions Of square feel
Of plywood manufactured annu-
ally, only a small portion is used
locally. About 90 per cent Of 1t
goes to various parts Of this
country. such as California. the
Great Lakes region, to the Atlantic
seaboard. where it il in great de-
mand because Of its versatility and
its durable quality.
Approximately 10 per cent Is
exported. Before the war, Ger
many was a big user Of plywood.
According TO the Douglas Fir
Plywood association plywood In
the Northwest il almost wholly
of Douglas fir. Oregon and WASH
ington produce nearly a billion
square feet of plywood yearly.
And, of this total. nearly one
fifth Of the amount Is manufac-
tured right here in Tacoma. Grays
Harbor has produced approx
mately 900 million square feet an
nually. followed by Tacoma with
24o million. Seattle with 1872 mill
lion. Portland with 1872 million,
Everett 102 million and miscel-
laneous cities in the two states
aggregating about 125 million.
Many Employed
To produce this large amount O.
piywood. the industry provides the
CITY with a two million dollar pay
rail-. employing approximately
300 employees in five major mills
here. which includes Oregon
Washington Plywood. Northwest
Plywood Co.. Buffelen's. Peter
mans. and whecler-O sgood Co.
Taking in the entire state, the
industry employs some 5000 per-
IONS directly in its own mills. with
an additional 1000 including those
intimately associated with IL on
the outside.
The industry represents better
than s25, 1000, 900 investment. with
an approximate seven and = haif
million dollar payroll.
A Simple Process
Manufacture Of plywood Is rela-
lively a simple process. After huge
pceler logs r unwound by
giant lathe. the strips are laid
alternately together crosswise ana
then glued together. Before being
sorted and graded. they are
sanded.
A wide variety Of uses IL
found for the finished product
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1940-07-02

because of Its grcath strength.
II Is sometimes called the
miracle wood or the "wood
with . thousand uses"
In the earlier stages OF the in
dustry. piywood was used princip-
ally for door paneling and interior
finishing. Today. however. it is
used In building and construction
projects. for sub-flooring, for
sheathing. partitions, ceilings and
numerous other things.
Douglas Fir Plywood sssocia-
ton reports that about half OF
the finished product goes into in
dustrial channels. for manufacture
of furniture and other articles,
the balance being used in the
building trade.

Newark Labor
Group Deplores
Alien FavOrtism

Acknowledging a letter from
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor,
members of the Newark Fedora
ton of Labor went on record
Wednesday night as favoring the
hiring of American citizens for
all jobs above common labor In
preference to the employment of
West Indian aliens in the Pan
anna Canal Zone. The meeting
was presided over by Emerson
Fishbaugh, president of the
Newark Federation.
Pointing out that the govern
ment operates all stores, pack
ing houses, bakeries, farms, ma
chine shops, hospitals, foundries,
etc., in the canal zone and houses
army, navy and civilian en-
ployees, the letter from Presi-
dent Green stated that the rail-
way and canal now employs
5000 Americans and $4,000
aliens as railroad trainmen, fire
men, policemen, clerks, time
keepers, etc.
The resolution passed by the
local organization is in line with
national efforts to stop the IA
vortism of aliens and to pass
employment opportunities to
American citizens.
Members of the Federation al
so expressed sympathy with the
efforts of Newark churches who
are seeking cooperation in the
closing of all business houses
from 1870 to 800 o'clock on
Good Friday, and voted funds to
the Newark Relay Association
for the spring track meet.

McAfee, Forest Muhleman, and
Emerson Fishbaugh, were elect
ed at the meeting.

vile on Sunday, March 81.
