Allison's paintings sounded in his ears
like the puffs Of receding locomotive

Dealers In Cedar Unable to Reach Any
Agreement on This
1oInf


The Northwestern Cedarmen's associa-
tion at its annual meeting in the West
hotel yesterday failed to come to an
agreement in regard to the price of poles.
The committee appointed to discuss the
question of prices and specifications on
poles was unable to agree, and the dis
cussion which followed in the association
proved just as fruitless. Finally the as
suciation. by rising vote, decided to ac-
cept a report Of disagreement from the
committee. This question has been
brought up at every annual meeting for
several years, rut the members have
never been able to reach an agreement.
More than fifty of the seventy firms
which compose the associa tion were rep
resented at yesterdays meeting The
business transacted was largely routine
