Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lumber Industry and Its Workers In Agriculture the farmer must have lumber to build his dwelling house, barn, granaries, silos, etc. To fence his fields he must have wooden posts; often the entire fence is made of wood. He picks his fruit from a wooden ladder, packs it in wooden boxes, with wood pulp paper, and hauls it to the railroad in a wooden wagon. Wood forms a part of all agricultural tools, implements and machinery. Late statistics show that the present demand for wood for farm implements exceeds feet a year, and if the wood that goes into agricultural hand tools were added the total would probably exceed feet. In the Mining Industry wood is used to timber the mines to prevent them from caving in. Wooden ties support the tracks in and around the mines. Wooden cars transport the coal or ore from the working to the shaft. Shaft houses and other build ings around the mines are built wholly or partly of lumber. In coal mining, timber forms the principal part of tipples, washers, etc. Wood forms part of some of the mining tools and machin ery. Without lumber it would be practically impossible to carry on mining. In the Construction Industry lumber is one of the principal raw materials. Even when the main part of a building is of some other material (such as brick, stone, steel or concrete) lumber is used for floors, ceilings, laths, window frames, doors, and in many other ways. On buildings lumber is used for stag ing. On concrete work to construct the forms, and for temporary supports. On railroad and general construction work timber is used for bridge building, for culverts, for piling, railroad ties, etc. Wood forms an important part of the machinery of con struction, such as derricks, steam shovels, dump cars and the like. Most of the tools used in this industry are part wood. Lumber is used to build the camps which shelter the men and animals employed. If the supply of lumber were cut off it would only be a short time before the entire building industry would be forced to shut down. The Transportation Industry is literally supported by wood. The miles of railroad track in the United States rest on wooden ties. It is estimated that the railroad and electric lines of the country use approximately one hundred and twenty mill ion ties every year. The vast network of telegraph and tele phone wires that covers the country is upheld by wooden poles. By far the greater part of the rolling stock is built of lumber.

This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Lumber Industry of America, Vol. 2 The first volume of this work was devoted to certain general subjects and to eastern Canada; this volume takes up the history of, the lumber industry of the United States in detail. An appropriate beginning is found in connection with white pine. It is possible that the first trees cut on American soil by white men were yellow pine; and during certain periods the southern wood, perhaps, contributed more largely to the export trade of the colonies and of the United States than did white pine; but the latter was earlier the basis for an industry of magnitude, and, until the close of the Nineteenth Century, furnished more than any other one species, or more than any group of related species, to the internal commerce of the country. While the southern pines were and are famous in the export trade, they supplied at home, until within a generation, hardly more than a local requirement; whereas white pine was in demand almost everywhere throughout the continent and sold in large quantities, not only in the states in which it grew but even in states which were abundantly supplied with pines of their own growth, and, furthermore, it furnished the chief building and finishing material necessary in the development of the great prairie regions west of the Mississippi River. It was the white pine that of all the timber resources of the North American continent first attracted the attention of explorers, and it was the white pine that was first the subject of Royal or legislative enactment. This volume of the History of the Lumber Industry of America is, therefore, devoted very largely to the history of the white pine industry. This history is appropriately considered in its geographical relationships, and, for the sake of convenience, a beginning is made with the white pine State farthest east - a Commonwealth known for generations as the Pine Tree State, although for more than a half century pine has been second to spruce in volume of product. Beginning with Maine, the other New Eng land states appropriately come after and then the white pine belt rs followed across New York and Pennsylvania.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Lumber Industry of America, Vol. 1 Industry and commerce have received in the past but incidental recognition from the historian. He has sought to trace the history of peoples in the political movements in which they have been involved. The successful prosecution of war has appeared to him more notable than the continued preservation of peace. The achievements of diplo mats and warriors have appeared more vital than the successes of men of business. The growing respect engendered abroad by a nation's army and navy has seemed a more attractive theme for discourse than the increase of its trade in the markets of the world.

This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Lumber Industry in the State of New York From the time when the pioneers first swung their axes in the primeval forests of New York, lumbermen have been closely connected with the industrial progress and development of the State. The first settler was the first lumberman; and his work commenced when he felled the trees to make a clearing in the forest for his cabin and his crops. Although this use of the ax alone would hardly constitute lumbering as understood to-day, still it was not many years until a sawmill appeared in each settlement and the lumber industry was formally inaugurated. Of necessity, the first colonists went without sawmills longer than the later ones. They made rough lumber for their houses, barns, and fences with their axes, supplemented at times by saws, large and small, worked by hand-power. But in the later settlements, which in the beginning of the last century included three-fourths of the State, a sawmill was built in each locality within ten or fifteen years after the first family moved in. In many instances the sawmill preceded the gristmill; and in a few places the erection of the mill antedated the advent of the first settlers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Everett Massacre: A History of the Class Struggle in the Lumber Industry Out of the dark they came; out of the night Of poverty and injury and woe, With flaming hope, their vision thrilled to light, Song on their lips, and every heart aglow; They came, that none should trample Labor's right To speak, and voice her centuries of pain. Bare hands against the master's armored might! A dream to match the tools of sordid gain! And then the decks went red; and the gcey sea Was written crimsonly with ebbing life. The barricade spewed shots and mockery And curses, and the drunken lust of strife. Yet, the mad chorus from that devil's host, Yea, all the tumult of that butcher throng, Compound of bullets, booze and coward boast, Could not out-shriek one dying worker's song!

This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Public and Economic Aspects of the Lumber Industry, Vol. 1: Studies of the Lumber Industry These resources have been put to use through an industry which in energy, rapid development, and mechanical efficiency has cut stripped that of any other country. The forests of other nations, like Russia, are comparable in extent, but have never attained a like economic value because no comparable industries have grown up to use them. The importance of our forests and forest industries gave general support to a national policy of conservation a few years ago when it was realized that the timber supply was being rapidly used up. Hitherto this policy has dealt directly with but a portion of the forest lands in public ownership. The much vaster areas privately owned it has reached only through educational work in forestry and the impetus given to the protection of timberlands from fire. It has touched conditions in the forest-using industries only through research in their methods and processes. There has been, however, an unquestioned response to the conservation movement by the forest industries in better protection of timberlands and closer use of their raw material. The last six or seven years have brought better knowledge of the timber resources of the United States, better information about their renewal, better insight into the strength and weakness of the forest using industries. These years have shown particularly how forest conservation is affected by economic conditions in the manufactures whose raw material is wood. Demoralized lumber markets affect the value of timber, the stability of its ownership, the degree to which it is wasted in exploitation, and the possibility of carrying out any far-sighted plan of forest renewal. The character of timber owner ship, on the other hand, reacts upon lumber production; hence upon the manufacturer, distributor, and consumer. The interests of the public, locally and nationally, are touched at many of these points. These industrial conditions, with their reaction upon the forests, have raised a question as to whether the public forest policy of the United States goes far enough. Particularly does better understand ing of the conditions in the timber-using industries and their effect upon forestry and forest use seem desirable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Occupational Hazards to Young Workers, Vol. 4: The Logging and Sawmilling Industries The lumber industry is largely interstate in character. Little more than one-fourth of the lumber cut in Washington and Oregon is marketed within those States. The remainder is shipped to other parts of the country or abroad. In N orth Carolina 42 percent, in California 38 percent, in Alabama 63 percent, in Mississippi 69 per cent, and in Louisiana 59 percent of the out reported in statistics of the industry moves in interstate or foreign commerce, the remainder being retained within the State. Similar percentages move across the lines of all the important lumber-producing States. In general, inter state distribution is principally from large mills, and the bulk of the lumber from small mills remains in the State.12 By far the greater proportion of employment is accounted for by the large mills.
