Tor delivery. This is . preliminary step 70
locking up the yards entirely, and BY 90 doing
close up business
The claim Of tho Association dealers Ia that
they control the lumber delivery Of New
York City, hut this morning was learned tnst
this 10 not the case, and carpenters, builders,
lumber handlers and drivers seen by EVENING
WORLD reporters did not seem frightened at
| the prospect.
They do not, so far rs they would express
themselves, regard the present action OF the
dealers as the beginning of . general paralysis
| OF the building trades.
In the lumber trade are several branches
the wholesale men, the dealers. the cabinet
wood dealers and the builders, who import
their own lumber. The dealers furnish most
and their plans are intended, SO It 10 said, 10
block the entire supply.
they claim that the wholesale men will not
SELL and that they control the sources of sup
ply both east and west, so that no more lum-
Der can be shipped to the city.
1t was first given out by the Association tn at
all the lumber-dealers Of New York, Brooklyn,
jersey City and Long Island City were mem
bers OF the Association.
Investigation shows that there are over 500
lumber dealers in New York City, of which
number less tnan 200 belong to tho Association.
the others are styled ''small dealers, who
| do not amount 10 much I" but the Walking
Delegates say they will amount to great aeal
| when they act as a cheokmate to an imnortant
| move Ike the present action OF the lumber
dealers.
