rresldont Krcd Arn of the .\KKoclat1on made a verbal report. In which 

 he gave hia views on the Hituntlon created by the wor and preoented 

 itie fnclB as they appeared to bini. rractically every member of lb* 

 Ixiard Jolni'd In Ibe dlacuKHlon nud much dIverHliy of opinion prevailed. 

 Some of the nieiuliers took the side of Germany In the cuntllct. main- 

 Inlnlng Ihiit the empire wim forced to ngbl, while others arrayed tbeia- 

 selves on tbe Hide of the allies. Similarly dIvcrKenI alHo were lh« 

 views ns to the duration of tbs war. Some tbouKht the stnisRle would 

 he long-drawn-out, while others exprcsked themselves Just a» conlldent 

 Hint It would be relatively brief becauee of the rapid exhaustion taking 

 ]ilnce and the Rreat waste caused. The opinion wns unanimous, how- 

 ■ ver. that under the circumstances conservatism and caution were la 

 order, and all the directors expressed the belief that a very material 

 enrtallment of exports would be experienced as long as the war lusted. 

 It wns deemed the part of wisdom to discontinue sblpmenls temporarily 

 and to stop tbe cutlInK of stocks at mills which turn out lumber espe- 

 cially for the export trade. The next few months, therefore, are likely 

 to see iin extensive llmltlni; of such activities. Mills which have not 

 already shut down will slop ns soon as the supplies of Iocs on band 

 me cut up and exports will be held back where no Ruaraniee can be 

 uiven of paj'ment for sblpmenis. So far It bas been Impossible to ob- 

 tain assurances that drafts for lumber shipped will be paid, and while 

 this has not prevented a number of forwardlngs, tbe directors of the 

 association none the less feel that to be on the safe side, exporta should 

 bo discontinued until the situation becomes clearer. 



The report of the treasurer, ,Tobn L Alcock of Baltimore, showed the 

 association to be In fine shape nn.nnclally, with all obllgailons paid and 

 a balance In the treasury. Reports of various standlni; and special 

 committees were also submitted, and they made n satisfactory showlnK. 

 It was decided to have an N. L. E. A. day at tbe Panama Paclflc Ex- 

 position, but the date will not be settled upon until later. The sug- 

 Kestinn hnd been made that the annual meeting be held In San Fran- 

 cisco at (he time of the exposition, but It would be necessary to cbang-* 

 the constitution and by-laws to do so, and this was considered Inex- 

 pedient. 



Sessions were held In the morning and afternoon of Friday, and an- 

 other took place on Saturday morning, the entire time being taken ap 

 with business. After the executive meeting the Cincinnati members of 

 the association were invited to attend, and half a dozen took advantage 

 of the opportunity. 



The meeting having been called strictly to discuss problems brought 

 up as a result of tbe war, there were no social features, and the mem- 

 bers dispersed Bs soon as the business on band had been disposed of. 

 It Is considered aitogetber likely that another meeting of the board 

 will be held prior to the annual session In general. If circumstance! 

 make such an arrangement desirable, and tbe belief now prevails that 

 conditions will call for a second conference. The directors feel that the 

 deliberations will prove helpful In giving each member of the associa- 

 tion the benefit of an Interchange of views by the most experienced 

 and best Informed exporters In the business. 



Kew Besldent Inspector Manufacturers' Association 



Oflicinl nnnouncemcnt Is made from the headquarters of The Hard- 

 wood Manufacturers' Association. Cincinnati. O., of the appointment of 

 .1. V. Hill as resident eastern Inspector, with headquarters in New York 

 City. 



The association docs' considerable Inspection work In eastern terri- 

 tory, but heretofore this has been taken care of by traveling Inspector* 

 from the West. Under the new arrangement, Mr. Hill will become gen- 

 eral eastern representative of the association, and will take care of all 

 the work that develops In eastern territory. 



The association has been particularly fortunate In securing the aerr- 

 Ices of Mr. Hill, who Is a former chief Inspector of tbe association. Mr. 

 Hill left the ossoclation some .vears ago to embark In the lumber busi- 

 ness. He has had many years of experience in tbe handling of hard- 

 woods In the Ohio Valley and the southern producing section, and en- 

 Joys a high reputation for his ability and technical knowledge of lumber.

 dividuals will be enrolled on roll of bocor and displayed In the bu.lding

The industries closely allied with logging operations and lumber man- 

 ufacture, such as machinery, belting, saw, hardware and wire rope com- 

 panies, arc co-operating In the financing of The Lumbermen's Building 

 and House of Hoo-Hoo at P. P. I. E. at San Francisco on a very gen- 

 erous scale. Insofar as they have been solicited up to this time. The 

 allied interests have co-operated In the fraternal spirit of Uoo-Hoo bnt 

 they also realize that any proposition that tends to better the lumber 

 business by market extension, directly benefits them in their businesa.
