Important Meeting of Woodworking Engineers 



to Be Held as Result of Thomas 



D. Perry's Address 



All address made by Thomas D. Perry, vice-president and manager 

 of the Grand Rapids Veneer Works, Grand Eapids, Mich., a very short 

 time ago before the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, of 

 which he is a leading member, has already begun to bear important 

 fruit. This address surveyed the vast opportunity for the application 

 of engineering skill and brains in the woodworking industry, and now 

 the American Society of Mechanical Engineers is preparing to hold a 

 meeting at its headcjuarters, 29 West 39th street, New York City, on 

 the woodworking phase of engineering. This meeting will take place 

 Dec. 7 to 10. 



A half-dozen papers dealing with important phases of the mechanical 

 problems of the various woodworking industries have been prepared by 

 engineers of known authority in their lines for presentation at this 

 meeting. It is to be called the "Forest-Products Session" and held 

 under the auspices of the Committee on Woodworking, composed of 

 Thomas D. Perry, chairman, C. E. Paul and Grant B. Shipley. It will 

 probably be the most important gathering of engineering brains de- 

 voted to woodworking ever held in this country and deserves the 

 attendance of all forward-looking woodworkers. The papers mentioned 

 arc as follows: Pliotographie Study of the Woodworking Industry, 

 F. F. Murray; Engineering in Furniture Factories, B. A. Parks; Use 

 of Wood' in Freight-Car Construction,. H. S. Sackett; Machining Rail- 

 road Cross-Ties, D. W.. Edwards; Creosoted Wood-Block Factory 

 Floors, L. T. Ericson ; Processes and Equipment Used in Wood Preser- 

 vation, E. S. Parks and J. M. Weber; Electrically Driven Sawmills, 

 A. E. Hall. 



The address which is responsible for this important meeting of 

 woodworking engineers was published under Mr. Perry's signature in 

 Hakbvpood Record on Oct. 10. In it Mr. Perry declared tliat "while 



the woodworker may not have needed the engineer in the past, he cer- 

 tainly needs him now. Raw material is increasingly more valuable ; 

 and wasteful methods are increasingly more culpable ; labor requires 

 higher wages; mechanical methods are in demand; manufacturing 

 units are larger; need for coordination is more pressing; and output 

 is more standardized. Proper adjustments to meet these conditions 

 will permit larger and more intensive production. ' '

 tions to fix prices. Senator Kenyon had asked if it was not true 

 that quotations of building lumber made by Chicago dealers were 

 generally identical, indicating knowledge of one another's bids? 



Relative to the actual shortage of housing in Chicago, it was 

 established that the city is short about 50,000 homes, and that "no 

 less than 500,000 people," in the words of B. J. Rosenthal of the 

 Chicago Housing Association, "are improperly, insufficiently and 

 viciously housed." Mr. Holsman declared that plans for buildings 

 in Chicago which would take two years to execute' are being held 

 up pending the return of proper conditions for building. 



The advisability of building at this time from the standpoint of 

 transportation available for carrying building materials was urged 

 b.v C. H". Markham, president of the Illinois Central railroad. He 

 told the committee that "unless all present indications are mis- 

 leading the railways for some time to come "will be able without 

 much difficulty to transport all the building materials which can 

 be used." But he warned, however, "that nobody can tell how 

 long this situation will exist." 



One of the most hopeful immediate results of the hearing in 

 Chicago was the assurance which Mr. Donlin gave Senator Calder 

 that the builcling trades division of the American Federation of 

 Jjabor, which he represented, would cooperate with the committee 

 in every possible manner to stimulate and furtlicr building opera- 

 tion.
