 Hliss & Van Auken of Saginaw. Mich. For 

 the past year or more Mr. Dewey has boon

 whole-souled, genial and affable. He goes

 agent for the imuu'nse output of the com- 

 pany, which is put at fully 2(i million feet

 comes Fred J. Johnson, at present Bliss & 

 Ann Auken's Philadelphia representative, 

 and his place at the Quaker City will be 

 taken by Mr. Miller, his assistant. Mr, 

 Dewey was formerly in hardwoods and is 

 glad to return to his old love.

.\ disastrous fire in the lumber yard of

 street and Ninth avenue. New Y'ork. on the

 believed to have been of incendiary origin. 

 No arrests have yet boon made. 



BUFFALO BITS. 

 Not to be behind the times in the matter 

 of strikes, tlie Buffalo hardwood yards are 

 running sliort handed this week and last, 

 owing to the men who carry the lumber 

 to and from the car and pile it going out 

 on striiie. The principal grievance on the 

 men's side seems to be a tiuestion of wages. 

 They claim It costs more to live now than 

 it has heretofore and therefore they de- 

 mand S2 per day in place of $1.75, which 

 they have been getting. 



* • » 



On the other hand, quite a large number 

 of those men have worked on j-ear after 

 year in the same yards steady, and have 

 been kept on through dull times and busy 

 times, and there is an aggrieved feeling on 

 tlie part of the employers to think that 

 these very men should go out voluntarily 

 and leave their employers in the lurch at 

 such a time when there is plenty of work 

 to do, I do not know but I hardly thini: 

 the men will get what they are after, partly 

 on account of the way they have gone at 

 it and partly because as a rule these men 

 arc steady, industrious, luird-working fel- 

 lows, not accustomed to laying around idle, 

 and I would not be suri)rised to see them 

 go back to work any day.

Mr. F. W. Vetter is at Empire, Ark., per- 

 st)naliy looking after the manufacturing of 

 cypress and quartered oak. Mr. Vetter has 

 learned the lesson '■if you wish to know 

 that a thing is well done do it yourself," 

 (ind acts accordingly, notwithstanding the 

 difliculty in securing seasoned lumber. 



* * * 



111 the meantime the yards are getting 

 along as best they can with what help they 

 can pii-k up on the outside, which, while 

 somewhat uncertain, is iimcli better than 

 no help at all. It is to lio hoped for all 

 parties concerned that the matter will be 

 settled one way or the other before long.
