LUMBER TRUST INVESTIGATION
The senate Expected TO Pass the
kfttredEe Resolution.


There was much discussion around the
Senate yesterday of the proposition ad-
vanced by Senator Kittredge. Of South
Dakota, to have the lumber trust investi-
gated. Lumber Is of far more vital in
terest to more people in the country than
the products Of the Standard Oil Com
pany or the coal COMPANIES. There are
many millions Of our people who are alb
solutely AT the mvfyy cf the combination
that has Of late sent the prices Of the
.commonest kinds Of building lumber up 20
two and three times the prices of a few
years ago.
Senator Kittredge expects no opposition
in the Senate % the adoption Of his reso-
luton. The inquiry viii. if authorized be
conducted by the Department of Com
merce and Labor.
II is understood that an astounding con-
diti0n OF affairs was discovered In this
connection by tn l. .erstate Commerce
Commission, in Us present investigation
into the elevator trust
II Is believed I'm certain Official circles
that the lumber trust is one of the most
complete Of all the great combinations. 1t
is operated without a holding company,
but fixes the prices for all lumber.
Il is pointed out that these prices have
steadily advanced for over a decade, and
that they are now approaching the pro
hibitive point, Notwithstanding the fact
that there is more lumber on hand in
yards and storehouses than at any pre-
viOus period.
It is declared that representatives, of the
hemlock, pine, and hardwood associations
meet every month and fiX prices. and that
any customer disregarding the list price is
boycotted and forced out Of business.
Lumber Is the fourth largest industry
IN the country. It Is charged that the en-
tire lumber product of the United States
is controlled by the trust, the capital of
which the last census reported at S6ll, Geo.

grand total Of estimates this session for
the regular and permanent appropriations

RAINEY WANTS ACTION.
Desires Arbitration of Agreements
Preventing Reimportation.

Representative Rainey. Of Illinois,
whose speeches on the watch trust last
session attracted considerable attention,
has arranged for a conference with Off
cials Of the Department Of Justice. at
which he will urge the prosecution of per-
sons said to be guilty Of violating section
4 of the Sherman antitrust law. which
prohibits American manufacturers from
selling goods abroad, with the express un-
derstanding that such goods shall not be
shipped back to the United States.
Mr.. Rainey's contention is that numer-
Gus manufacturers here, particularly the
big watchmakers. put clause in their
contracts with foreign buyers which pre-
vents the reimpOrtatiOn of timepieces
shipped TO the foreign markets. In his
speeches last spring he produced data TO
prove that tarih-pTOtected watch mann-
facturers sold goods in Europe at prices
so low as TO permit the reimportation of
the goods and their sale in this country
at figures less than those quoted to Amer
lean retail dealers at the factories.

Mr. Gaines, OF Tennessee. agrees
with the idea elaborated IN the Presi-

not hesitate to express his views. In
the course OF the debate in the House
yesterday. the legal status of game was
IN question. and in a collOquy with Mr..
Mondell rep, WyO), Mr.. Gaines gave
his opinion.
Mr.. Mondell-The only difficulty
about that proposition is that the gen

agree.

the case frequently. because the Su-
