theory, that must be met and mas
tered once for always.

eumlng* and the wholesale trade in
all parts of the country, as well as

ding period for last year, stocks and
other features of the situation, such
as will throw light on the present as
•well as the future outlook, and there

est. Lumbermen in this and the ad
joining states should therefore ans
wer to the roll-call at Atlantic Beach
on the 15th.

ant meetings in the history of the
lumber trade industry in all this ter
ritory, for it will have to deal with
questions that can no longer
brushed aside,,with a wave of the
band,.or indefinitely-postponed for a
more convenient season. The con
ditions at this time are such as ren
der it mandatory on the part of lum
ber manufacturers to find a solution
for the present troubles or forever
hereafter be hewers of wood and
drawers of "Water, instead of masters
of the situation as they deserve to
be. Tbe proposed meeting will be
of an interstate character and the
deliberations will be participated in
by many of the leading and foremost
manufacturers In the States of Geor
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
North and South Carolina and Vir
