Abstract
The bulk of this paper will be devoted to an analysis of relationships between wages and various statistical data. In spite of this emphasis it must not be forgotten that a negotiated wage rate is the result of a complex of influences, not the least of which are the mental attitudes of the individual bargainers. In order that a balance may be preserved the author proposes to begin with a brief narrative of some of the more important non-quantitative factors which are peculiar to the determination of wage rates in the sawmill industry of western Oregon and Washington.
