from their jobs.
The reason some might go to
work is this: They'd be working
in localities where the striking 17
had not thrown up picket lines. At
least, this is how the federation
explains it.
But the federation’s 250,000
members are not all the telephone
workers in this country. There are
others who belong to unions not
connected at all with the national
federation's 51 local unions
Whether those independent
unions would support the striking
unions remains to be seen. But this

Then the remaining 34 agreed

says would happen, once the strike

All long-distance telephone oper-

There are plenty of trees, plenty of lumber
mills, but very little lumber for Home Build-
ing. WHY?
Here are the simple facts behind the lumber short-
age—these facts are stopping Home Building
I. Over 50% of our lumber was once cut by small
mills Thousands of these mills were put out of
business during the war by OPA ceiling prices
OPA still clings to wartime policies and these mills
are still out of business
2. OPA s blind hold the line" policies plus lack of
enforcement have led to the development of a
huge Block Market in lumber Block Market
lumber is lumber that costs the people more money
than they would pay if lumber were flowing to them
through the normal channels of distribution—the
retail lumber dealer
3. Wartime ceiling prices made it profitable for the
lumber manufacturer to cut sizes of lumber suita-
ble for war uses but not suitable for heme con-
struction As OPA continues this unrealistic policy,
manufacturers continue to cut lumber sizes which
are unsuitable for home construction in some
cases premium prices granted by OPA encouraged
production of lumber not usable for Home Build-
mg Proper peacetime adjustments have not vet
been made to encourage production of home con-
struction lumber Such as flooring, ceiling, siding,
millwork, plywood—all essential items in hone
construction This situation affects all lumber pro-
duction.
4. The manufacturers of lumber have been provided
w ith o h dden premium on export lumber. The
OPA hos mode t more profitable to produce lum-
ber for export t foreign countries than to produce
lumber for home construction .
These are mere . examples from the lumber field
which indicate the type OPA action that is blocking
the production of home building materials in many
fields
The fact remo s that homes cannot be built by
any industry or Government agency without mo-
teriols
Homes cannot be built without lumber—whether
that home be wood trame brick, concrete or stone.
The lumber and bui d ng material dealers, and the
contractors of the ' at on can build all the homes need-
ed—if they have the materials But the flow of mo-
terials must be un ocked Only increased production
of building materials can solve the so-called housing
problem and the 1. 'CO istic pricing pol cy of OPA is
the biggest present 1 ock to increased production!
Any government program that does not
FIRST remove the obstacles blocking produc-
tion of materials will limply add additional
difficulties to the problem facing the build-
ing industry.
