lumber-Pu|pwood
Industries Are
Rated Essential

The shortage of men to carry on the
reached an alarming proportion, accord
ing to J. NJ. Bryant. director, War Man
power Commission.
Mr.. Bryant said that during the
month just closed the u. S. Employment
Service of the War Manpower Commits
in seven of the new men called for by
the employers in these vital industries.
He pointed out that the shortage was
caused by a combination of circum-
stances.
There has been the usual proportion
ate withdrawal of men to fill demands
of the armed forces. Some workers nave
withdrawn recently to do farm work.
While women nave been used in other
occupations to a great extent to replace
men, there has been practically no re-
placement of men by women in these
industries. The ceiling prices on lum-
Der and pulpwood and on wages in these
industries have caused work of this ma
ture to suffer in comparison with other
work requiring a larger proportion of
skilled work; a resultant higher wage.
"In some places" said Mr.. Bryant,
workers nave failed to realize that
these industries are rated as essential
and as urgently necessary war work.
Our employment Interviewer frequent
ly run into a situation like this. They

will ask a man if he is engaged in es-
industry. and he will reply, NO,
I am only working at this little saw
MILL We feel that it is essential that
present and prospective workers in
these industries should be told that
their work is most essential and that
there is a possibility of the war efforts
being crippled by "a lack of lumber suf-
ficient for essential construction such
as scaffolding for ships. concrete forms.
boxes and crates and the thousand other
uses
Mr.. Bryant urged tns, this informa-
tion be carried TO workers through daily
and weekly newspapers, the radio and
through all other means of publicity.
He pointed out that sawmill work, while
not carrying the high wages of some
other types of work, can be lone in the
community in which workers live and
so does not involve the hardships Of

Fuel Will Be Scarce This Winter:
All fuel-coal, oil, gas and wood-will
be scarce this coming winter, the Solid
Fuels Administration for War says.
There will be a deficit of about 3S mil
lion tons of coal. Consumers should or
der their coal now, during the summer
season, and store whatever kind the
dealer recommends. Householders using
fuel oil should order their supply as
soon as their new ration coupons be-
come valid-probably, within the next
month. BY filling consumers fuel orders
early, dealers will be able to refill
their own oil tanks or coal stockpiles
and thus add to the total storage capaci-
ty Of the rationed area for use later
in the winter. The Solid Fuels Admins
traitor urges all fuel users to help con-
serve fuel next winter by weatherstrip-
ping, insulating and getting heating
equipment in good shape now during
the summer.
