A study by Montana state planners warns U S Forest Service timber sale cuts of about 22 percent through 1975 could cost 790 to 1580 Montana jobs. In 1969 western Montana depended on wood products for 25 000 jobs and 228.7 million dollars, with statewide totals of 33 400 jobs and 240.7 million dollars. The report notes growth will stall and layoffs may follow unless industry cuts adjust, merge, or close plants.
