Lumber innnufnclurera arc keenly Intcrented In the announcement of 

 the dclnllH of the propoaed worknicn'a componaatlon net which will be 

 submitted to (be leKlnlaturc In January by a cmnmlaaloD wblcb baa 

 been worklnK on (lie pruponlllon for aeverol monlha. A law of tbla 

 kind was enacted In r.tl4, but owlnR to defecta waa doelnrod Invalid by 

 the court of nppenlH. nnd the voluntary cominlaalon referred lo baa been 

 endeuvorlni; «lnce then lo draft n meaaure which would moe( (he require- 

 ineD(8 OH lnl<l down by the courts. The mnxlinuin Indt-mnliy, f<ir death 

 or permiinent disiildllly, la fixed at $1,000, with a weekly Indemnity for 

 partial dlsiil'lllty of from »,'> to $12. depending on the average wage 

 of the Injured employe. The Inw will be iidmlnlalered by a commla- 

 Blon of (hree. Inaurance may be carried by the mnnufncturer In a atock 

 or mutual company. No slate Insurance fund will be operated, tbla 

 feature, though Included In the old law, bavlUK been found unaallHfnctory 

 In a number of other states. Owing to the fact that all Intereala affected 

 si'era to ho In favor of n compensation law. It Is believed that the pro- 

 posed bill will be adoped wlthoui much opposition. 



A feature of the situation which suggests that nn Improvement In the 

 price of plain oak ouKht to result shortly Is the bU advance In ipiolnllona 

 on oil cooperage slock. This Is a second grade of tight barrel material, 

 and owing to the fact that many stave mills have been down, on account 

 of the slow demand for cooperage for distilling purpoaes, the supply of 

 oil stock has become small. In fact. It does not seem to be equal to the 

 demand, nnd the result has been a big upward march of values. Some 

 operators report that during the post sixty days prices have Increased 

 $7.50 n thousand, and as the same sort of material, generally speaking, 

 goes Into oil stock as Into No. 1 common plain oak. It la figured that the 

 situation in the cooperage lleld ought to have a highly favorable effect 

 on plain oak. 



Improved business In the furiiUuro field, wblcb has been noted recently. 

 Is helping to move low grades, which have been dragging for a good 

 many months. It has been comparatively easy to sell good lumber, but 

 the fact that common grades have been In slow call. Inasmuch aa this 

 character of stock constitutes the hulk of that In the hands of every 

 manufacturer, has helped to create a depressed condition. Now that 

 the furniture people are again fairly busy, with prospects of being much 

 busier than they now are a Mule later on, common lumber Is moving, 

 ind the entire hardwood situation Is being livened up. 



J. V. Stimson of llunllngburg, Ind., and .Memphis, was In Louisville 

 iicently, nnd was the guest of the Louisville Hardwood Club. Mr. Stim- 

 son la a regular caller at the business meetings of the club, and like a 

 good many other hardwood manufacturers, he knows that the sessions 

 are always held on Tuesday evenings, so that he never overlooks an oppor- 

 tunity to drop In and exchange views regarding conditions. Mr. Stimson 

 said that trade Is much better, though the situation has not developed 

 enough yet to Influence prices materially. He believes that higher prices 

 are coming, however. 



Veneer and panel manufacturers report business considerably better. 

 Trade In this direction has not been any too good for some time, so that 

 this statement Is the most encouraging that could be expected. 



The Wood-Mosaic Company Is one of the busiest concerns around the 

 falls. Not only Is It running lis Highland Park and New Albany saw- 

 mills right along, but Its flooring plant and veneer mill In New Albany 

 are going full time. The comp.iny has big stocks of logs at both places, 

 and Is In line to push operations vigorously for months to come.

A meeting of the Arkansas Tight Barrel Stave and Heading Association 

 was held In the Hotel Marlon at Little Rock on November 12. Matters 

 of Importance were discussed, principal among which waa that concerning 

 means of securing more favoralile transportation rates. Henry Wrape of 

 the Wilson & Wrape Stave Company, Little Rock, and president of the asso- 

 ciation, stated that until recent years railroad rates were the least trouble
