RmrIUpk In Macon llnoorolnx Iloiulquur-
t«r* for a MnnuuotU Imluatry*
Renders of the Gazettk will re
member that nbont'a month ago tho
lnmliermen of Georgia met in Maoon
and arranged the preliminaries for a
pofmnnent organization, having for
its object tlie promotion and protec
tion of tho lumber industry of the
state.
Last Tuesday another meeting was
held in Macon, pursuant to adjourn
mentor thu former meeting, in which
all the mills in iho state of any con
sequence was represented, mid per
fected the permanent organization of
the Georgia Lumbermen's Associa
tion on exactly the same principles of
tho Standard Oil Compiinj t
This combination of Georgia mill
men is one of gigmilio proportions,
representing an investment of more
than $20,000,000 in one of the great
est industries of tlie Btatc. At the
iielm are some of the shrewdest uml
ablest business men of the state.
The business of tho Association
will bo conduoted through n lumber
men’s exchange or central commis
sion house, which wisely lias been
located in Macon—the most central
of the slate.
The machinery of the exchange is
a general executive committee com
posed of the executive committees
(three members each) of local organ
izations along the various lines of
railroads. The headquarters of the
general executive committee will be
in Muoon. From the membership
of this executive committee will he
elcotediv president, six vice-presidents
and a secretary.
Tho plan proposes to get rid of all
middle men or cominiusioii merchants
who commissions are invariably paid
by the lumber manufacturers, is to
have all orders come direct to the
secretary, at the bend office, who will
distribute them impartially to the
different mills mid taking care that
ail are kept busy. Each mill agrees
to sell lumber at the uniform priceB
established by the association, nml
thus keeping up a standard prioe. •
It does not require the wisdom of
it Solomon to see that the days of tlie
lumber jobbers business bus sudden
ly terminated.
Tlie equilibrium betweon the sup
ply and demand will lie regulated by
a system of mutual shutting down
of mills upon thu order of the gener
al executive committee when they
see necessity requires it. To do this
they will consult with the different
mill owners, ascertaining from them
what amount they will require for a
shutdown of ten, twenty or thirty
duys. Tlie amount being fixed all
other mills in the association will lie
assessed by tho executive commit too
their pro rata to pay this amount,
each mill paying in proportion to
size.
Thus the supply is out down any
amount required, uiui the demand is
kept up, causing prices to remain in
tact.
The lumbermen claim that they
huve organized on a solid basis, ami
will be ubie to carry out every fea
ture of the plun adopted.
Tlie central office will require a
number of men,- and will ho well
equipped in every respect. They
