TIn.T(' has luM'ii :ui iiuTcased inquiry from the retailers fnr lianlwKiils 

 for interior trim and hardwood flooring, and it is beginning to look as if 

 there will be a fair volume of huiiding demand. .\ good deal of commer- 

 cial work is starting, or in prospect, and residence work is looking more 

 promising as a result of lower and steadier markets, and the fact th:it 

 l)etter arrangements for financing home building are to be had. 



Railroad car builders are taking more material, as most of the c;ir 

 plants have very fair orders. Railroads in order to escape having to pay 

 high wages under the Railroad Labor Board scale are placing their con- 

 tracts in outside shops, or with the independents, instead of building 

 themselves, and laying off their own shop forces. 



Edward L. Davis of the Edward L. Davis Lumber Company recently 

 returned from a trip to his mills, and left almost immediately for the 

 North on a selling trip. On his return he reported that conditions were 

 not satisfactory and the trip a poor one. 



W. A. MacLoan of the Wood Mosaic Company has returned from 

 Knst and reports a fair business, but conditions not as good as 

 in the month. 



J. L. Dawson of the Dawson Lumber Company is back froTu 

 weeks' honeymoon trip spent in the East, he having been m:i rrii 

 Jan. 29. 



I'n'stnn 1". .Toyes of W. P. Brown & Sons Lumber Company is expected 

 back within a few days from an eastern trip. The company has been 

 operating a couple of its larger mills, but has been on a retluced iirniliniiou 

 basis for some months, six of its mills being down. 



An optimistic report is given out by the Norman Lumber Company, 

 which has been having a good demand for poplar and has been operating 

 its box shook and siding plant at full capacity, a good denmnil being in 

 evidence for siding. 



News was received in Louisville on Feb. 21 of a fire at Johnson City. 

 Tenn.. which is reported to have done an estimated damage of .$100,000 

 to the plants of the Penrod Walnut & Veneer Company and Empire Chair 

 Company. 



The Louisville Point Lumber Company has been down at its High Uridge. 

 Ky.. and Louisville mills for several days on account of heavy snow and 

 bad weather. The company has indefinitely postponed plans for erection 

 i>f an additional band mill at the Louisville plant. 



John Churchill of the Churchill-Milton Lumber Company. Louisville ami 

 Navco Hardwood Company has resigned as vice-president and general man- 

 ager of the Navco Hardwood Company, having sold his stock in the com- 

 pany to the other officers. The offices of the Navco company have been 

 moved to New Albany. lud., with the New Albany Veneering Company. 



Starting Feb. 22 the weekly meetings of the Louisville Hardwoo<i Clul' 

 have been transferred back to the Seelbach Hotel, after several months at 

 the Pendi-nnis Club. 



Harvey Ilayden and Mr. Stoll of the Haydeu & Westcott Lumber Com- 

 pany. Chicago, were recently in Louisville and attended a weekly meeting 

 of the Louisville Hardwood Club as guests of the Louisville Point Lumber 

 Company. Both had fairly optimistic reports to make concerning improved 

 factory conditions in the Chicago to Buffalo district and the East, this 

 including the automotive and furniture industries, along with general lines. 



At Paducah, Ky., the Lack Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of 

 automobile wheels and parts, is planning to increase the capital to .i;250,00(i 

 and start production of a newly invented metal disc wheel for automobiles. 



The Ayer & Lord Tie Company, Paducah, has asked for a federal injunc- 

 tion, which has been granted, to prevent interference of union ship car- 

 penters and caulkers on strike, with operation of the business. The com- 

 pany recently cut wages from .$6.75 to .$6.25 a day and about sixty car- 

 penters and shipworkers walked out. 



The Southern Railway Company has set March G as the date for its 

 milling in transit arrangement to become effective, and the Illinois Central 

 Railway has set March 20. These concessions are not entirely satisfactory 

 to the lumbermen, as they merely permit grading, sorting, storing, etc.. 

 and do not allow for finishing or resawing. However, the petition is before 

 the Interstate Commerce Commission, which may grant everything asked. 



C. H. Evans of the G. II. Evans Lumber Company. Chattanooga, was a 

 visitor at the recent annual meeting of the Louisville division of the 

 Southern Hardwood Traffic Association at Louisville. Following the meet- 

 ing he announced that he was converted and would apply for membership 

 at once, not having realized before the extent of the Avork of the body. 

 John W. McCIure of Memphis was also present at the meeting. 



Much complaint is being heard in traffic and lumber circles relative to 

 the high freight rates and big differentials on low grades, which are hold- 

 ing back movement and which promise to stifle movement of low grades. 

 Barry Norman of the Holly Ridge Lumber Company tells of one case where 

 a carload of ash shipped from the far South to Northern Michigan carried 

 a freight charge of .$435. out of a total price of $650. leaving the company 

 $215 for the lumber, the company getting less than half for its lumber 

 what the railroad secured for transporting it. 



-\. E. Norman. Sr.. of the Norman Lumber Company, in a recent dis- 

 cussion said :• "We need more ojitimism in the Unnber trade, and we also
