SELLING LUMBER

The Chairman : Any other questions, gentlemen ? 



Mr. Lennox: If the speakers in answering those questions 

 will stand straight, instead of sideways, we could hear them much 

 better. 



The Chairman : Gentlemen, we have a very short formal 

 program for this afternoon, and we will proceed with that and 

 then the meeting will be thrown open for general discussion. We 

 have a great number of questions, we will be glad to consider all 

 of them, and we will stay here all night, if you will stay with us. 

 I want to introduce to you a man who is only 85 per cent efficient. 

 He has got a very lengthy paper, but after discovering he was 

 only 85 per cent efficient, the committee persuaded him to have the 

 speech put in the printed record and to give you a short talk on 

 his subject, I am glad to introduce to you Mr. Ben S. Wood- 

 head, our very amiable subject of yesterday afternoon. (Ap- 

 plause.) 



(Mr. Woodhead's paper in full will be found on page 262). 



The Chairman : We feel exceedingly complimented in being 

 able to place the next speaker on the program. I believe that it 

 is entirely unnecessary for me to attempt to introduce him. He is 

 one of the outstanding figures in the lumber world, and he enjoys 

 a reputation not common among lumber men a national reputa- 

 tion outside of the lumber industry. I am very glad to introduce 

 you to Capt. J. B. White, president of the Missouri Lumber and 

 Land Exchange, of Kansas City. (Applause.) 



(Captain White's speech in full will be found on page 340). 



The Chairman: Gentlemen, the meeting will now be opened 

 to the discussion of questions of new business that may be pre- 

 sented to the meeting. And as we have so many questions, some- 

 thing over 140 or 150, some of which no one in the audience or 

 on the committee would attempt to answer on short notice, I am 

 going to throw the meeting open and let the questions be asked 

 and discussed generally Mr. Snell, have you something that you 

 wish to bring up? 



Mr. Snell: Gentlemen: Something which I desire to bring 

 before this meeting today is a subject which has already been 

 inserted into the meeting twice once this morning by General 

 Boyle, and this afternoon by Captain White. This is the subject 

 of the transit car movement. Now, the transportation committee
