and attempt a solution of them. The conference is to be hold under thi 

 auspices of the United States Chamber of Commerce with which both local 

 bodies are affiliated. 



J. H. Townshend, secretary-manager of the Southern Hardwood Traffic 

 Association, said today that representatives of this organization woulti 

 undoubtedly at that conference favor return of the railroads to their 

 owners if given assurance by the latter that they will continue certain 

 advantageous ijolicies inaugurated by the government, including prompt 

 adjustment of claims, routing of freight by the most direct lines and con- 

 solidation of switching facilities. He made it equally clear, however, that 

 if there were not guarantees to this effect and that, if the private owners 

 of the railroads were not willing to grant certain concessions now pending 

 before the tJ. S. Railroad Administration, there was not the slightest 

 chance that the association would go on record in favor of such return. 



John M. Pritchard, secretary-manager of the American Hardwood Manu- 

 facturers' Association, has been called to Washington by the United States 

 railroad administration to advise with officials of that body regarding 

 standardization of hardwood lumber and timber needed in the construc- 

 tion of railway cars and in the building of railroad lines. 



The association has always favored such standardization because of 

 the saving it would represent to both producers and consumers of hard- 

 wood lumber and timbers. This organization has an annual output, 

 through its membership, of more than 1,000,000.000 feet of hardwood 

 lumber annually and Mr. Pritchard is therefore in position to render 

 expert advice. 



=•< LOUISVILLE >-= 



H. E. Snyder, secretary-treasurer of the Louisville Veneer Mills, is back 

 at the plant again after having been away for several months on account 

 of illness. Mr, Snyder spent some weeks at Hot Springs and is feeling 

 much better. 



William H. Day, manager of the Louisville plant of the "Wood Mosaic 

 Company, on November 6 discovered that he was father to George Richard 

 Day, a husky ten-pounder, who dad cheerfully claims resembles a chip 

 from the old block. Some chip. 



J. G. Brown of W. P. Brown & Sons Lumber Company has gone South 

 for a trip of inspection to several of the company's eight band mills and 

 will be away for several days. 



After spending several days In the Kast, W. A. McLean, head of the 

 Wood Mosaic Company, New Albany, is back on the job again. This com- 

 pany for a week's run averaged 6. .500 gunstocks a day, and recently shipped 



the last of a British aeroplane contract, the last shipment being a car of 

 black walnut, running 22.260 feet, and representing one of the largest cars 

 of aeroplane stock ever shipped out of this district. 



W. R. Willett of the W. R. Willett Lumber Company has been playing 

 a very fine brand of golf during the past season, and has been the hard 

 man in the finals in almost every important match at the Louisville Coun- 

 try Club. Mr. Willett recently reached the final for the house committee 

 trophy, and was paired for the final with B. G. Marshall. 



The North Vernon Lumber Company has completed its Louisville planing 

 and finishing mills, which will be operated in connection with the local 

 sawmill. The company is now starting operations at Louisville again, 

 having a little trouble in getting labor at the outset. 



Although girls have filled in fairly well during the past few months 

 when men could not be had, the experiences of lumber manufacturers show 

 that they would much prefer getting back a good force of male labor. 

 Harry Kline of the Louisville Veneer Mills in discussing female labor 

 stated that he had found girls to be about sixty-six per cent eflScient. Mr. 

 Kline has been employing a large number of women and girls for several 

 months past, and has been keeping close figures on their work. 



The National Hame & Chain Company of Louisville has recently pur- 

 chased the hame department of the NoxdortE Krein Manufacturing Com- 

 pany. St. Louis, Mo., and has announced that the machinery and equip- 

 ment would he moved to New -Vlbany, where the National company when 

 through with its additions will have the second largest hame plant in the 

 country. George Todd, president of the company, is looking forward to an 

 extensive Mexican and South American business. 



Almost every woodworking and lumber concern of Louisville had one 

 or more men enlisted in the United War Work campaign, which worked 

 out nicely, with the city's quota raised in less than three days. 



At a meeting of the Louisville Hardwood Club held at the Seelbach 

 Hotel, November 19, the club voted to hold meetings every week in the 

 future instead of semi-monthly the war-time policy in effect during the 

 past year. It was explained that the year promises to be a busy one, and 

 one chuck full of changes which will need immediate discussion. 



E. B. Norman, Jr., president of the club, named the following com- 

 mittees ; 



Entertainment, program and membership — -Harry E. Kline, E. B. Nor- 

 man and T. M. Brown. 



Finance — E. B. Norman. Will Day and H. E. Kline. 



Lumber — E. L. Davis, E. B. Norman, and T. J. Christian. 



The evening was given over to a discussion of the general situation.
