The Hardwood Market 



-< CHICAGO >- 



The continuance of the strike of building employes nnd the throwing out 

 of work of many thousands of men not dLi-cctly Interested in the strike, but 

 whose work Is vitally affected by discontinuance of other branches of local 

 unions, has tied up the lumber buslnes.s locally, nnd until this vital question 

 is delinltely settled there is no prospect of any marked change. 



Mills and yards have been closed down, with the exception of nccoasary 

 forces to maintain outside shipments, and local lumbermen nnd builders arc 

 justllied in feeling the utmost contempt toward the so-colled union oOlcinIs 

 who alone have been responsil>le for this disastrous controversy at this time 

 when any work for anylwdy should be welcome. The fact that the strike la 

 not popular among the employes Is shown by the effort to circulate a petition 

 among the 16,000 carpenters on strike, requesting officials to ask for reissu- 

 ance of the offer of the ^Ms-ecnt raise which was made some time ago by the 

 carpenter contractors. 



With this disposition on the part of the men, and it would seem that In the 

 other controversies the same feeling prevails, It Is possible that a readjust- 

 ment may be effected In the near future. .As the matter now stands Mr. 

 Thompson, the new mayor. Is making strenuous elTorts In collnlioratlon with 

 the city council for a readjustment along amicable lines nnd lines that will 

 liave some measure of permanency. 



Calling the strike under present conditions by the official heads of the 

 unions is an unquallfled outrage. The hopeful and buoyant feature Is thc- 

 realizallon that with the resumption of building operations which can rcasOD- 

 ably be expectwl within a week or two, there will be a sufficient stimulus and 

 addition to building operations to partially make up for the loss of business 

 (luring the last month. Had the strike not come on, local building operations 

 would have been In very fair shape and a great deal of lumber would have 

 ::onc into building construction that has now been tied up in dealers' yar<ls 

 rind niill yards. Of course, the strike means that In a good many coses struc- 

 tures that were planued will be postponed because the strike made Impossible 

 a sufficiently early start to get such structures under cover before the cold 

 weather of next winter breaks. Uowevcr, the Indlcotlons arc that there are 

 sufficient other structures being planned constantly to be started as soon as 

 the strike Is settled up, partially making up for this loss. 



On the whole when building Is resumed it will be In fairly satlsfactor.T 

 shape, and It can Iw expected that the yard trade will go ahead with the 

 shaping up of purchases and restocking. 



The factory trade Is not doing any great amount of buying, but there Is n 

 genuine tendency to go a little further In the w-ay of large orders and orders 

 for odvancc shipment, which condition Is ottrlbuted to the fact that the' 

 average buyer Is cognizant of the probable stiffening of hardwood values ond 

 wants to protect his future interests. .Also, with modestly increasing produc- 

 tion, the factory trade naturally needs more raw material. 



On the whole the strike situation Is most portent and a serious barrier to 

 the resumption of good business in the local trade. With this spectre dead 

 and burled there con be Justification for optimistle hopes for spring and 

 summer business.
