Knotty
Lumber
Problems
HIS
IS
A
GOOD
TIME
to
consider
the
outlook
T
i'or
the
lumber
business.
The
prosperity
of
the
whole
central
interior
and
coast
district
tributary
to
Prince
Rupert
depends
greatly
upon
the
lumber
business.
There
is
hardly
any
line
of
activity
that
is
not
indirectly
affected,
be
it
farming,
secondary
industry,
or
servicing
in
trades,
professions,
railway
and
government.
It
is
the
general
opinion
that
markets
for
lumber
w311
continue
good
for
a
considerable
time
to
come.
j
Whether
markets
can
be
held
at
higher
or
even
current
price
levels
is
a
question
that
few
will
venture
to
answer.
The
internal
market
is
promising
while
the
housing
shortage
continues
and
it
might
be
possible
that
there
will
be
higher
prices
internally
although
they
are
at
present
fixed
at
a
lower
price
than
the
export
market.
But
export
markets,
w'hich
are
giving
signs
of
a
forthcoming
shrinkage,
are
unlikely
to
be
available
at
higher
than
current
prices,
and
may
take
some
holding
even
at
existing
leVels.
Hence,
operators
and
labor
leaders
who
are
more
concerned
with
realistic
than
theoretical
ecdnomics
will
watch
with
keen
interest
the
markets,
the
Dominion
taxation,
the
provincial
Forest
Act
amendments,
wages,
and
all
other
factors
bearing
upon
the
price
of
lumber.
;
We
can
only
maintain
prosperity
in
the
whole
of
B.C.
so
long
as
we
can
profitably
market
our,
lumber,
which
is
one
of
the
four
chief
keys
that
unlock
the
gates
of
production
in
British
Columbia.
Percy
Bengough,
president
of
the
Trades
and
Tiabor
Congress
of
Canada
and
a
former
B.C.
labor
ldader,
has
stated,
according
to
press
reports,
that
organized
labor
in
Canada
does
not
anticipate
nor
desire
any
new
strikes
in
1947.
"A
discussion
around
the
table
before
the
strike,"
he
said,
"'will
save
both
employers
and
employees
a
lot
of
grief,
Worry
and
bad
feelings."
Jt
is
to
be
hoped
that
in
the
relations
between
industry
and
labor
this
sound
advice
from.airespon-sible
labor
leader
will
be
followed.
;
But
we
find
a
different
attitude
being
taken
by
Harold
Pritchett,
district
president
of
the
International
Woodworkers
of
America.
He
is
reported
to
have
said
at
the
union's
convention
in
Victoria
st
week
that
B.C.'s
27,000
organized
woodworkers
are
prepared
to
strike
on
June
20
if
their
demands
for
a
wage
increase
of
at
least
25
per
cent
are
not
met
by
the
operators.
(B.C.
woodworkers
total
37,000).
:
Whether
that
or
any
increase
is
justifiable
is
not
our
business
at
this
time.
But
we
believe
it
is
fitting
and
proper
and
the
right
time
to
say
that
no
responsible
labor
leader
should
issue
a
strike
threat
BEFORE
his
demands
have
been
made
known
to
the
operators
and
the
men
and
BEFORE
the
law
of
the
country
affecting
industrial
disputes,
conciliation
and
arbitration
has
been
complied
with.
Emulation
of
the
Lewis
tactics
is
not
likely
to
get
any
farther
in
this
country
than
in
the
U.S.A.
Bellocosity
and
threatening
are
more
likely
to
bring
their
own
corresponding
reaction
for
like
breeds
like.
It
was
quite
unnecessary
for
Mr.
Pritchett
to
threaten
to
strike.;
unless,
of
course,
he
was
merely
trying
to
pep
up
his
delegates
in
what
was
perhaps
becoming
a
somewhat
dull
convention.
The
strike
weapon
is
,the
strongest
and
the
last
weapon
held
by
labor,
lit
should
not
be
the
first
Weapon
to
use
for,
if
that
fails,
there
is
nothing
left
with
which
to
fight.
We
are
frankly
amazed
at
a
smart
man
like
Mr.
Pritchett
springing
his
threat
of
a
strike
in
June
at
this
moment.
He
has
played
or
at
least
shown
his
only
ace
card.
That
is
lid
play
and
poor
leadership.
Surely
the
method
proposed
by
Mr.
Bengough
is
the
better
way:
"a
discussion
around
the
table."
It
is
definitely
the
step
that
should
be
taken
ahead
of
a
threat
to
strike.
t
It
is
;to
be
hoped
,that
good
common
sense
will
prevail
and
on
all
questions
affecting
labor
relations
in
the
lumber
industry
there
will
be
conciliation
and
arbitration
and
that
every
effort
will
be
made
to
maintain
our
markets
so
that
high
production,
high
employment
and
prosperity
may
be
assured.
