(By J. C. Dionne in Houston Chronicle)
".More curtailment" is the cry of
the lumber manufacturers in the
milling districts of the Southwest, and
it looks as though the industry was
entering upon the heaviest line of vol-
untary curtailment that has been
known since the panic. It has been
apparent for some time that the con-
sumption of yellow pine lumber is not
sufficient to justify the mills in run-
ning full time through seasons like
: the present, and there has been s lot

the past 30 days in Texas, Lauisiana,
and Arkansas. The trouble is not that
