■ 5. In order to check sawyers from cutting uppers from the outside of poor 

 logs and sending the remainder to the shingle mill, the company has orders that 

 every log must be sawed into lumber that is suitable for that purpose. In order to 

 enforce this rule and to secure adequate supervision, the foreman of the mill is 

 paid on the basis of the mill cut, without reference to grades. When the mill is 

 shut down for an hour or more, or when closed for annual repairs, the foreman 

 is paid on an hour basis, a reduction of about one-third over what he earns when 

 the mill is running. He is diligent, therefore, in seeing that the plant is kept up 

 to an efficient standard, and also that a minimum of time is spent in making such 

 repairs as are necessary. 



6. All lumber piled in the yard is paid for by the truck load and not by the 



1 No extra time is allowed for changing saws.
