Logging, he found, out completely since it is listed the most hazardous in- dustry on the books. He did find, however, that prisoners of war could be employed in the cutting of pulp- wood forests and in certain non- hazardous mill jobs. Then he found that the lumber industry, in spite of its manpower shortages, was not inclined to take on prisoner-of-war labor. And al- though about one-fourth of our 140.- 000 prisoners of war already in camps in this country are German and Italian farm hoys who know how to swing an ax, practically none was experienced in timber cutting or milling. Rochester, was finally told by | Col. 1. B. Summers, of the provost #marshal’s general office to use what- ever prisoner-of-war labor he could solicit and train. That was enough. As a result, that portion of our pulpwood and non-hazardous mill industry workers who spell the dif- ference between something and nothing probably soon will be hack- ing away at our pulpwood forests and working around some of the 45,000 sawmills that take care of the defined area.
