Capital Afraid Of
Investment In
Alaska Timberland
SEATTLE, (/P) — Southeastern
Alaska’s huge forests could go far
toward filling the nation’s future
lumber and newsprint shortages
but timber interests fight shy of
such expansion because of federal
control of the forests and limited
transportation, a lumber industry
spokesman said in a weekend
statement here.
Almost “next door” to the Pa
cific northwest, the forests con
tain an estimated 85 billion board
feet of lumber, but at present
there are only three sawmills of
commercial size in the entire ter
ritory.
W. E. Bell, managing director!
of the western retail lumbermen’s
assiciation, listed three points in
a weekend summary giving his
explanation of the situation:
1. With all timber in Alaska
federally owned and controlled,
sawmill operators must buy tim
ber needed for their operations
from the government.
2. Because the government con
trols the timber and Alaska water
ways, it is able “through bureau
cratic control” to decree virtually
life or death for such operations.
3. Water transportation now
available would be insufficient to
handle large-scale exports of lum
ber, wood products or pulp. A
large operator would be required
to provide his own fleet of ships.
Forest studies indicate that with
proper forestry management,
southeastern Alaska could easily
produce a billion board feet annu
ally in perpetuity, Bell said.
About 30 percent would be good
construction lumber, representing
lumber needed for 30,000 houses.
The major portion of the timber
would be suitable primarily for
pulpwood, but the Territory does
not now’ have a single pulp mill.
“I criticize the practice of for
estry for forestry’s sake, and of

Latlirop’s Miners
(Have No Bacon
SEATTLE, (/P>—Austin E. (Cap)!
Lathrop, Fairbanks capitalist and
pioneer business man, opened a
telegram from his Healy River
eoal mine offices here one day
last week, and exclaimed:
“Well, I haven’t seen a piece of
bacon for breakfast in the three
weeks I’ve been in Seattle.’’
The telegram, he explained, j
said that for the first time in five
months his miners had no bacon j
for breakfast. Otherwise, the mes- i
sage said the situation was far;
from serious.
“The shipping strike has inter
fered somewhat .with arrival of
food stocks in Alaska, he said.
“But all the reports I get show!
there is no real hardship and
plenty to eat for everybody.
‘The people from Alaska I see
down here want to get back north 1
so they can get some meat to eat.” |

bureaucracy for bureaucracy’s;
sake, when what we need to think
of is the final objective, the pro
duction of lumber to be utilized in
the homes and farms of America,”
he said.
The largest of the three Alaska I
mills has an eight-hour sawing'
capacity of 175,000 board feet of j
lumber, he reported. At one time j
during the war, lumber had to be ;
shipped from Russia to meet ur- ]
gent military construction needs.'
Pittsburg’s Power
Strike Ends
PITTSBURGH, <>P)—Industrie?
life in the Pittsburgh metropolitan
area swung back towards normal
today upon the end of a 27-day
power strike—longest and costli
est in the nation’s history.
Hundreds of industrial plants
resumed work at full speed to
make up for lost production.
Street car transportation was nor^
mal again and bus line operations
almost normal.
The Sun-Telegraph estimated
the strike cost the steel capital “at
least $300,000,000” in business
and wages.
Conciliation sessions to end a
21-day old hotel strike, also cost
ing the city considerable business,
resumed today. The eight largest
hotels here have virtually closed,
resulting in cancellation of a
number of conventions.
The power strike ended when*
the light company employees
voted to submit their demands for
a 20 percent wage increase and
other issues to arbitration.
