Under former ? the Northwestern mills have built up an enormous tonnage in the Middle and Eastern states through thirty years of effort. The proposed changes apply only, to the consuming territory usual described as West of Chicago. e have no assurance of any conces- sions East of Chicago, which terri- tory under the rate advance of last August was virtually lost. It is im- egal that this Eastern territory, restored to the lumber industry of the Northwest if it is to market its normal production. This Coast is entitled to a square deal—to an even for business in Eastern markets. The West Coast Cumbermen’s Association has consistently main- tained that basic lumber rates of 65 4c per hundred pounds to St. Paul and Omaha, 70}c to Chicago and St. Louis, and 93c to New York are abs, solutely necessary to restore the former relationships in highly com- petitive territory. Anything higher than these rates will operate as a severe handicap in the marketing of our product, Oregon and Washington normal- ly produce 200,000 carloads of, for- est products annually. By reason of comparatively small population, these two states can consume only a small proportion of their enormous lumber output.

It is about forty-five per cent of the cost of logging. Unless basic rates of 65}c to Sé. Paul and Omaha, 70}$c to Chicago and St. Louis, and 93c to New York are established by the railroads or by decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, continued idle mills and unemployment seem inevitable. With an even break for West t woods in the larger markets, the railroads should receive in- creased revenue because of a heavier tonnage movement, and prosperity, should soon again establish itself in the Pacific Northwest, through re- sumption of lumber manufacturing activity, now only forty-six per cent of normal.
