CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 49 Millmen Advance Prices on Hemlock Inspection Rules will be Enforced, and Wholesalers will be Asked to Co-operate The advisability of advancing hemlock prices, and the enforce- ment of the inspection rules were the chief topics discussed by the hemlock manufacturers at a meeting held at the Queens Hotel on July 10th last. A large number of the representative manufacturers of Ontario were present. The meeting lasted considerably over three hours and many important matters were discussed. In regard to the advancing of hemlock prices the manufacturers felt, after fairly discussing the question, that trade conditions warranted an increase in certain lines. Several prices of different stocks were said to be low in comparison with others, and as the cut has been forty per cent, less this year, and the cost of production considerably above the aver- age, it was felt that a small advance was justified. The recent hem- lock rules compiled by the association, were also discussed to a con- siderable extent. Some of the members present stated that little or no attention had been paid to the rules by a number of the manu- facturers and that in consequence the grades from the different mills were not uniform, and that several millmen were practically making their own grades, which was detrimental to the other manufacturers, The present rules are satisfactory to the majority of the manufac- turers, and they will do all in their power to have them lived up to. In the I'nited States they have a standard rule of inspection which is carefully guarded by every manufacturer and wholesaler. In Can- ada there is no standard system of grading and the hemlock manu- facturers feel that it is time something was done along this line. The rules will be printed on a large card and will be mailed to the different manufactur
