CHICAGO 



,\ conference bringing together representatives of many of the vaiious 

 interests concerned with forestry problems will be held at Chicago. June 

 i;{ and 14, by the National Forestry Policy Committee of the Chamber of 

 Commerce of the United States. 



In making this fact public the committee announced that it would seek 

 t«) obtain every viewi>oinl ln'fore proceeding to formulate a national for- 

 estry policy. 



"The object of the committee," said D, L. fioodwillie of 6.51 Otis Buihl- 

 ing. Chicago, the chairman, "is to study carefully the several economic 

 phases that have to do or should have to do with the promotion of for- 

 estry. Wc have begun under ten headings with sub-committees for each 

 grou|i. The sulijects undi'r consideration by the groups are : government 

 regulation, private holdings, indiviilual versus public rights, fire protection 

 anil expenditures, acquisition of laud, national forestry survey, taxation, 

 utilization of wood and forestry conservation, reforestation, national 



foresls. 



"On completion of its work the committee will make a report to the 

 chamber's board of directors. If the recommendations of the committee 

 are considered by the board to be of sutficient national importance the 

 board can order them sent to a referndum vote of the chamber's member- 

 ship. The results of referenda are laid before Congress and the proper 

 government departments as expressing the views of the chamber. 



"This district not only has the liulk of the remaining timber in tiie 

 T'nited States, but the trees are so large and the stands so dense that 

 logging conditii ns are vastly different from those of other sections. In 

 justice to the operators of this region as well as to the lumber users of 

 the rest of the country the coiiimiltee feels that it should make a study 

 on the ground." 



I'esides Jlr. Coodwillie, the chairman, niemlicrs of the committee are; 



Charles S. Keith, president Central Coal & Coke Co.. Kansas Clt.v, Mo. 



F. C. Knapp. president Peninsular Lumber Co.. Portland. Ore,

The Lumbermen's .Vssociatlon of Chicago is conducting an intensive 

 campaign for 2,50 new members. Not only local lumbermen will be 

 solicited, but every effort will be made to secure non-resident members 

 and in this way the entire ctuintr.i- will be canvassed by S. F. D. Meffley, 

 the secretary-manager. 



The local prospect will be angled for according to a unique system 

 worked out l)y Mr. Meffle.v. Thirty of the presiuit members have been 

 divided into six divisions f*>r the puriioses of the plan. The members of 

 each division. beginnin,g with No. 1, will solicit like divisions of prospects 

 by mail. If the first letter fails to land the prosiiect. he will be srdicited 

 by the serond division and so on until all six divisions have tried their 

 persuasive powers on him. But it is not anticipated that any prospect 

 will be able to hold out long enough to hear from every division. The 

 divisions that will conduct the campaign are as follows : 



Division 1. — Earl Weinstork. William L. Schiippert. Joseph Gorman, 

 Minor E. Botts, C. W. Lawrence. 



Division 2. — Charles S. Smith, Fred r.urnab.v, Rowland S. rtley. Leon-
