BOSTON 



The strilie of building operatives continues here and bids fair to grow 

 so as to Include towns surrounding boston and perhaps the eastern part 

 of the state. A. F. of L. officials arrived here last Monda.v from Chicago 

 to take charge of the situation, so there has been talk of the strike grow- 

 ing to affect jobs of Boston contractors in other states, and there is even 

 talk of a national strike of building tratlesmen growing out of the Boston 

 strike. The interest of all this to hardwoods people is that all construc- 

 tion work in this cit.y. oJtice. industrial and dwelling house construction, 

 is stopped and the hope of a growing market for hardwoods here from 

 these sources put so much further into the future. At present writing 

 there seems to be no possibilit.v of an earl.v settlement of the strike. The 

 union men want at least .$1.23 an hour and no time agreement; the 

 builders want a time agreement and are willing to pay no more than a 

 dollar an hour and are inclined to cut to 90 or 80 cents if possible. 



-William E. Litchfield of this citj', one of its widest known lumber 

 dealers, head of the L. & H. Lumber Co., dealing" in hardwoods here, is 

 on an extemled trip west, visiting his hardwood mill at Mt. Vernon. Illi- 

 nois, and also visiting his son, CJeorge Litchfield, who is operatiug a 

 hardwoods mill a few miles north of that point. 



Gardner I. Jones, head of the Jones Hardwood Compan.v, of 10 High 

 street, Boston, a well known wholesaler, has just retui-ned from a fort- 

 night's trip on business, during which he has visited mills in the Ohio 

 Valley and the South with which his company has connections. 



Boston and other New England representatives of the spool and wood- 

 turning industry of this section, which is about 150 years old, which 

 includes not only the extensive making of spools but also the making of 

 wooden novelties, checkers, casters, stamp handles, curling iron handles, 

 and various wooden turned toys, have recently complained to the Ways 

 and Means committee of the House at Washington of the threatened 

 crushing of their business b.v the "timber barons" of New England on 

 the one hand and by the competition of Sweden, Finland and Germany 

 on the other hand. 



Wendell M. Weston of this city, head of the W. M. Weston Com- 

 pany, dealing in hardwoods and having extensive connections In the West 

 and South, says that he expects an Improvement of a really substantial 

 and encouraging nature in the hardwoods business in two or three months. 

 He believes that there will be an early settlement of the strike here and 



that it will be settled amicably to both sides, and he looks tor something 

 of a building boom this spring as soon as that strike is settled. Though 

 such a building boom would not directly cause a demand for hardwoods 

 here for some months, it would indirectly be a great stimulus to business, 

 he states. Mr. Weston looks for a big export business in hardwoods 

 before long — in fact, as soon as Germany and other hardwood hungry 

 European nations, are allowed to buy, as soon in other words as exchange 

 goes down and credit arrangements and other arrangements for a suc- 

 cessful foreign trade can be made. In the automobile business he does not 

 expect to see much improvement before the summer or fall. Jlr. Weston 

 has just left for a trip to the West. 



BALTIMORE 



Daniel MacLea of the MacLea. Lumber Company has been designated 

 as chairman of the hardwood inspection committee of the Baltimore Lum- 

 lier Exchange by President W. Hunter Edwards. John L. Alcock of John 

 L. Alcock & Co. and J. J. Kidd of the Kidd & Buckingham Company are 

 the other memliers. Mr. Kidd is also on the arbitration and grievance 

 committee. 



Richard P. Baer of the hardwood firm of Richard P. Baer & Co., the 

 tower of the Maryland Casualty building, is hack after a trip of several 

 weeks in the Middle West and the South. In the South he visited the 

 mills of his company at Bogalusa, La., and Mobile, Ala. The latter has 

 not yet resumed operations after the end of the year shut down. 



Norman Kennedy, a tlmberman of Glasgow, Scotland, was a visitor in 

 Baltimore last week, having come over after the annual meeting of the 

 N. L. National I,umber Exporters' Association at Washington. Mr. Ken- 

 nedy saw some of the members of the trade here. He is on a business 

 trip In the States. 



The Fahey Lumber & Produce Company of Havre de Grace, Md„ has 

 been incorporated under the laws of Maryland, with a capital stock of 

 .■$50,000. M. H. Fahey is president : James H. Fahey, vice-president ; 

 M. W. Fahey. secretary and treasurer, and J, T. Reed, manager. The cor- 

 poration will establish a sawmill with a capacity of about 10.000 feet of 

 hardwoods a day. 



A charter has been obtained by William F. Shinnick & Co., ship ceiling 

 and mill work of 913 Fell street. The company has a capital stock of 

 $25,000. 



The Columbia Graphaphone Company, which is erecting a big plant at 

 Orangeville, this city, that will consume large quantities of hardwoods, 

 has decided after a period when construction work lagged, to go ahead M 

 rapidly as possible with work on the buildings.
