day at the meeting with the Of
fice of Price Stabilization.
“Increased costs of equipment,
logging supplies and wages have
disturbed the economy of the
logging industry, and formal pe
tition to OPS is being considered
to alleviate the situation,” West
fall said.
“The higher wages paid on gov
erns/it construction projects,
authorized under the Alaska As
sociated General Contractor's
wage agreement, has made it es
pecially difficult for the logging
industry to operate efficiently.
Skilled loggers, timber fallers,
tuckers, choker setters and me
chanics have turned to construc
tion work because of the higher
scale of wages being paid,” he
pointed cut.
The Alaska Logging Associa
tion was formed this year and
represents the industry in Ket
chikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Sit
ka and Juneau, and was organ
ized for the general welfare and
beneficial interest of it’s mem
bers.
Attending the meeting were:
Abe Lokke, Arthur Almquist,
Charles Marler, Harry Williams
and Joseph Durgin, from Ketch

Alaska Oil Search
'Hampered' by
Permit System
The Texas Company, large oil
producer, is not interested in do
ing any oil explorations in Alas
ka, according to W. S. S. Rod
gers, chairman of the board of
directors, said here today.
“Government restrictions on the
amount of acreage allowed under
permit in Alaska is so small that
it would not pay a big company
to come in,” he said, “In Canada
there is no restriction and the
Canadians encourage capital to
aid in the development of their
provinces.”
Rodgers, accompanied by his
wife and R. F. Baker, vice pres
ident in charge of production, ar
rived here yesterday in their pri
vate DC-3 aircraft. They had
been in northwestern Alberta and
northeastern British Columbia
where his company is conducting
oil investigations by seismograph
methods.
They planned to leave today
for Vancouver and Seattle.

U.S. Gypsum Co.
Man Interested
In Alaska Deposits
A Dallas Hagan, sales represen
tative for the U.S. Gypsum Co., from
Seattle, arrived in Juneau yester
day to check on gypsum deposits in
the Territory. He had been in the

there is not much of it,” Hagan
said. "Deposits on Chichagof Is
land near Juneau are of better
quality, but we have no immediate
plans for mining. The company
likes to know the location of future
fields in case of increased demand.'
