A resolution presented by A. E. Owen, was 

 adopted, which authorized members of the 

 Association to consider hardwood lumber as 

 dry when it does not exceed the estimated 

 weights attached to the of&cial price list of 

 the association. 



G. J. Landeck, chairman of the railroad 



committee, reported as follows: 



As one of the committee of five, appointed 

 at the annual meeting at Oshkosh in September, 

 to work in harmony with similar committees 

 from the Northwestern Hemlock Association and 

 the Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen's Association, 

 I have the following report to make : The 

 matter of bavins a conference with the com- 

 mittees of those associations was talsen up 

 promptly, but both associations discouraged the 

 plan. The pine association had no special 

 grievances, and the hemlock association felt that 

 their troubles would be remedied In a short 

 time. The conference was therefore dropped. 

 Sept. 28 Secretary Colby Issued a circular to 

 members, requesting them to send in claims that 

 had been declined. He received a number of 

 answers, containing claims, all for small 



& Northwestern railway, which had been arbi- 

 trary in dealing with them, but when made 

 aware of the dissatisfaction existing, that road 

 immediately took steps to remedy the trouble, 

 and have since paid many claims which had 

 been previously declined, and have been treat- 

 ing new claims with more consideration than 

 before. Recently, however, claims have again 

 been declined, of a character that was allowed 

 by them for some time. 



The report was accepted and the committee 

 discharged. 



The president then introduced George K. 

 Smith, secretary of the National Lumber 

 Manufacturers' Association, of St. Louis, 

 who delivered an address on the subject of 

 the new rating book about to be issued 

 by the credit bureau of the National 

 Association. Mr. Smith said that the new 

 rating book, covering forty-three states 

 and practically all the states of the Union 

 save the Gulf states, would be ready 

 fcr delivery within a few days, and that he 



had arranged for the delivery of the book 

 to such members of the Wisconsin Hardwood 

 Lumbermen's Association as chose to sub- 

 scribe for it through the secretary of the asso- 

 ciation. He stateu that the cost of the book 

 would be $30.00 a year or $2.50 a month which 

 would include furnishing twenty-five special 

 reports free of charge. Mr. Smith invited the 

 association to appoint delegates to attend 

 the annual meeting of the National Lumber 

 Manufacturers' Association, which is tr be 

 held at the Auditorium Annex, Chicago, May 

 9 and 10. 



On motion of William J. Wagstaff, the 

 chair was authorized to appoint such a com- 

 mittee, and thereupon named William J. 

 Wagstaff, B. W. Davis and O. 0. Agler. 



Messrs. McMillan, Wagstaff, Chapman and 

 Colby made brief commendatory speeches con- 

 cerning the credit rating book and system of 

 the credit bureau of the National Lumber 

 Manufacturers ' Association, suggesting that 

 every member of the Wisconsin Hardwood 

 Lumbermen's Association should be subscrib- 

 ers to the bureau. Thereupon quite a num- 

 ber of the members present authorized a sub- 

 scription to the book. 



On motion of A. E. Owen, the official 

 weights of the association were authorized to 

 become a part of the official price list. 



On motion of B. F. McMillan a change 

 was made in the association grading of No. 

 2 common rock elm, authorizing that it should 

 run fifty percent "sound cutting" in place 

 of fifty percent ' ' clear cutting ' ' and thus 

 conform with the rules of the National Hard- 

 wood Lumber Association. 



On motion of William J. Wagstaff the 

 chair was authorized to appoint a committee 

 of three to attend the annual meeting of the 

 National Hardwood Lumber Association at 

 Buffalo on May 18 and 19. 



On motion of S. W. Quaw the chair was 

 authorized to appoint a committee of three to 

 investigate the subject of mutual insurance, 

 and if deemed advisable to suggest a plan for 

 the organization of a mutual insurance com- 

 pany to carry a part of the insurance risks of 

 members of the association, and to report at 

 the next annual meeting. The chair ap- 

 pointed as such committee Eugene Shaw, 

 W. J. Wagstaff and J. T. Barber. 



Henry H. Gibson, editor of the Hakdwood 

 Eecord, Chicago, was introduced and sug- 

 gested to the convention the sending of a 

 larger representation to the annual meeting 

 of the National Hardwood Lumh^ Associa- 

 tion at Buffalo than contemplated in the orig- 

 inal motion that had prevailed, which pro- 

 vided for a committee of three. Mr. Gibson 

 stated that he had heard sundry comments 

 during the day that indicated to him that 

 the hardwood manufacturers of Wisconsin 

 felt that they had been slighted by the 

 National Association in not having a just 

 representation on its board of trustees, and 

 said that he believed that the fault lay more 

 with the Wisconsin Association, than it did 

 with the National Association, inasmuch as 

 Wisconsin had in the past oeen represented at
