Western lumbermen target insurance combine and odd lumber standard
At Vancouver last Friday Western Canadian lumbermen condemned a Canadian insurance combine seeking action against it. They mandated a committee to probe for possible legal steps and backed a resolution denouncing the insurance legislation as harmful to the industry. The meeting also voted to standardize odd lengths of lumber starting January 1, 1910, and adopted related bundle rules.
