This group of industries in which wood is ahiiost indispensable but 

 which may be either forced out of business or be obHged to use sub- 

 stitutes eventually, now totals 14.58 per cent of all Illinois manufactures. 

 That these industries would be tremendously benefited by the continu- 

 ance of cheap and plentiful supplies of lumber suited to their needs, 

 goes without saying. 



GROUP C. INDUSTRIES DEPENDENT ON WOOD PULP AND PAPER 



This third group of industries includes printing and publishing, and 

 the manufacture of paper for stationery and other paper goods. 



Wood pulp and paper are well-nigh indispensable in this industry 

 and in spite of the relatively small quantities required to supply this 

 demand, which is approximately 4.5.50,000 cords per year as against 

 110,000,000 cords used for fuel alone in the United States, yet the limi- 

 tations of species, cost of transportation, and the relatively large quanti- 

 ties of material which must be assembled at one plant to reduce the cost 

 of manufacture have not only prevented the extensive use of substitutes 

 but have caused the price of pulp wood and of paper to increase con- 

 stantly, until American operators, dependent on the exploitation of virgin
