(By the Associated Press

Charleston, S. c., April 1S.-Twenty-
seven or more leading lumber men of the
two Carolinas, Georgia, Florida and Vir-
ginia held an important meeting here
today.
A resolution was adopted looking to
the appointment of a general conference
committee to consist of two representa-
tives of the association present. This
will greatly facilitate the work of the
lumber men and do away with the ex-
penditure of much time and money in
holding regular monthly meetings, as
two men on such occasions will be able
to transact the business of the entire
association. This conference committee
will be appointed by President Tiff at an
early date. The meeting adjourned this
