The principal drawbacks to the hardwood industry at the present time 

 consist of but two things, car shortage and lab<u" shortage. In some 

 sections of the South cars have been fairly plentiful, while in other sec- 

 tions the government lumber movement has resulted in a very short t.up- 

 ply, and in spite of capacity loading trouble has been experienced in get- 

 ting orders out. this condition extending even to plants located on main 

 line roads. At the present time collections are slow, but this is probably 

 only a temporary condition, and Improvement Is looked forward to. The 

 labor situation is steadily growing worse, and every branch of the lum- 

 lier industry is feeling the shortage. Local lumbermen report that good 

 labor can hardly be had at any price, while the demand is steadily increas- 

 ing, and the outlook is for a continuation of existing conditions until 

 peace is declared, and that even then the chances are that labor wage 

 will never get back to former levels. .\t the present time the government 

 contractors at the local cantonment are offering $5.50 for a ten hour day 

 to carpenters, $7.50 for Saturdays, and $10 tor Sundays, making $45 for 

 a full week. Labor has been brought in from Indianapolis, Chattanooga 

 and other points, and over 7,500 men were employed on the camp during 

 the first week in August. The work is about fifty per cent done, and in 

 spite of extremely hot weather, and some trouble with union men, the 

 construction is progressing rapidly, now that matirlal is on hand to keep 

 tilings going.
