Washington senator Foster, a leading lumberman, urges action to stop Canadian lumber from entering the US market. He cites Pacific Coast Manufacturers with 1.2 billion feet of output and 1.9 billion shingles, warning reciprocity could place lumber on the free list and paralyze the industry. Washington employs about 25,000 in sawmills and camps, wages over 14.9 million annually, with few Oriental workers. Foster notes Tacoma plants use American labor only, while coast secretary Beekman compares wage levels in Canada and the US and warns free-list action would hurt US lumber.
