congress of National Forestry Policy, the Forestry Committee will present

 ment forest service for over twenty years and was secretary of the Cen- 

 tral States Forest Conference will also discuss the question of forest 

 policy and the probable effect of the Snell and Capper bills. 



J. W. McClure, Memphis, president of the association and the executive 

 committee, together with the Chicago committee have been working hard 

 to make the forthcoming convention the most successful in the history 

 of the organization and as this is the first convention held in the West 

 in a number of years, Secretary W. W. Schupner reports there will be a 

 large attendance, especially among members who, because of the distance 

 have not heretofore had an opportunity to attend a national meeting. 



The banquet which occurs on Tuesday night will be addressed by several 

 prominent men and further announcement will be made in a few days. 



The committee in charge of the arrangements are J. W. McClure, Mem- 

 phis, Tenn. ; W. H. Schuette, Pittsburgh, Pa. ; H. W. McDonough, Boston, 

 Mass.; H. F. Taylor, Buffalo, N. Y. ; G. C. Edwards, Ottawa, Ontario,

Lumber Congress and Annual Meeting of the National Lumber 

 Manufacturers* Association 



Arrangements are rapidly being completed for the nineteenth annual 

 meeting and third American Lumber Congress of the National Lumber 

 Manufacturers' Association, which will be held March 30, 31 and April 1 

 at the Congress Hotel, Chicago, in the Gold Room. 



Judging from the list of speakers on the program, this lumber congress 

 will doubtless prove to be one of the best ever held under the auspices 

 of the National association. The following men, representing all phases 

 of the industry and National affairs, will deliver addresses : Leslie M. 

 Shaw, ex-Secretary of the Treasury, and a noted speaker and writer ; 

 David R. Forgan, president of the National City Bank of Chicago, and 

 banker of international reputation ; Congressman Patrick Kelly of Mich- 

 igan and Senator Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota ; Dr. T. S. Adams, 

 advisor of TJ. S. Bureau of Internal Revenue; M. W. Alexander, director 

 of the National Industrial Conference Board ; Senator Joseph Bailey of 

 Texas ; John H. Kirby, president of the National association ; J. H. Bur- 

 ton, president of the American Wholesale Lumber Association ; W. A. 

 Gilchrist, prominent lumberman of Chicago, and interested in greater 

 activity in the lumber industry toward prevention of waste; C. E. Paul, 

 consulting engineer, and Dr. Wilson Compton, secretary-manager of the 

 National association. 



The first day's session, Wednesday, March 30, will be given over mainly 

 to committee meetings and business sessions of the stockholders and board 

 of directors of the National, which will include the annual election of 

 officers. The following is the remainder of the program : 



The second and third days of the convention will be featured with 

 addresses along educational, economic, governmental and merchandising 

 lines. A banquet in the Gold Room will be held Thursday evening, March 

 31, with a program of after-dinner speakers. 



Invitations have been sent informally to all lumber associations and to 

 the various branches of the lumber trade. From the number that have 

 already signified their intentions of being present, the coming Lumber 

 Congress should be one of the biggest events in the lumber world this year.
