INEN PLAN ADOPTE N LUNBER TRADE Grade Marking Expected to Protect Buyers From Serious Abuses. BY J. C. ROYLE. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW ORLEANS, March 26.—Grade marking of lumber, determined on as a new policy of the Southern Pine Assoclation, In convention here, seems destined to revolutionize the mer- chandising of this great basie com- modity in the United States in the next year. From April 1, when the new policy Zoes Into effect, until December 31, over three billion board feet of yel- low pine will be marked on the end of every plece with the name of the assoclation, the identifying number of the mill where it was made and the exact designation of Its quality under the rules of the American lumber standards as fixed by the Department of Commerce. Protection to Buyers. Such grade marking means, in plain terms, that the retailers, architects, contractors and home builders, as well as the general public, will get What they pay for. Prominent man- ufacturers and retailers asserted to- day that this policy will be a potent factor In eliminating unfair compe- tition, In preventing fraud by un. scrupulous dealers who juggle grads and in making for economital distri- bution. Grade-marked lumber will have be- hind ft the integrity of the official mill inspection of the assoclation, and unscrupulous dealers will be unable to nullify the care and skill of the lumbermen by mixing a small pro- portion of high-grade product with lower-grade stuff and charging the high-grade price for all. First Step of This Kind. The Southern Pine Assoclation is the first organization of lumber pro- ducers to take this step. It marks a recognition of one of the principles of modern business that it is profit- able to insure fair dealing with the public. The idea back of the pro- gram has been to prevent rather than rectify complaints and to insure sat- isfaction, not under compulsion, but as a right due the consumer. Edward kines of Chicago, one of the largest lumber dealers in the world, declared today that retallers ir all parts of the United States were demanding protection from unfalr competition from rivals who had made a practice of buying one grade of lum- ber from manufacturers, regrading the product and selling it as of a higher grade. Architects and bulld- ers in the North and Midwest, he added, were insisting that material furnished on thelr specifications should be grade marked. ¥ Special Campaign Planned. The association unanimoualy voted that its members should pay an as- sessment of three cents a thousand feet on all shipments for si¥, months for the purpose of advertising grade- marked lumber to the consuming public through daily and trade pa- pers, for the benefit of the consum- ing public and all branches of the building Industry. $20,000,000 IN ROAD BONDS ON MARKET Offering of 100,000 Shares of An- glo-American Bank in Greece Also on Sale.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 26.—Rail wages were higher in the United States at the first of October last than any- where else in the world. According to the index compiled by the International Labor Office, just received by the Bankers’ Trust Co.|| of New York from its British Infor- mation Service, railroad wages in the United States would have bought al- most twice as much as they would London, and in Ottawa, which may fairly taken as a representative of eastern Canada, about one and one-half times. The purchasing pow- er of wages In Amsterdam was 86 per cent of the London figu n|| Berlin 65 per cent, in Brussels 58 per-cent, in Paris 75 per cent and in || Vienna only 50 per cent. This compllation has for its ob- ject the comparison of the standards of comfort for industrial workers so ||l far as these can be gauged by thel| purchasing power, in terms of food, of wages paid for an hour's work at the ordinary time rate In certain typical occupations for men common to large citfes.
