Congressman Miller Tells
of Arbitrary Fixing of
Prices by Associations
ENORMOUS INCREASE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

CILAA5L A1N41 ~ In N<1-~--
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1e.-That an in
vestigation of the high price of lumber
will reveal close association among the
manufacturers of lumber is the belief
Of Representative Miller of Kansas,
who has introduced in the House
resolution calling upon the Department
Of Commerce and Labor TO investigate
the industry.
Miller has made an investigation Of
the lumber business from Pennsylvania
10 the Pacific Coast and believes that
he has found about the same conditions
prevailing everywhere, all resulting in
the arbitrary fixing of the price of
lumber by the so-called lumber assoc
Citations. Not only does he assert that
the price Of lumber has doubled and
trebled in certain instances, but he
declares that the lowest grade OF lun-
Der is sold today for higher price
than the best grade commanded few
years ago. Speaking today of the in
formation he has gathered, Miller said:
My object in introducing the reso-
luton is TO. obtain speedy investiga-
tion in reference to the entire question
arising from the high price of lumber,
as well as TO obtain full information
as 10 the charges that have been made
that great corporations have combined
10 own or TO control all the stumpage
in the United States. In the last three
years lumber has advanced III price
so that il is now nearly doubled in
value. Five or six years ago rough
hemlock lumber sold in the Fall River
Valley of Pennsylvania for Sc or 81 a
thousand feet, while during the last
summer il sold for from SIS to s27 a
thousand feet and this for only ordi-
nary rough hemlock.
The same combination owned the
entire output in the valley. and there
was no remedy except to send to Will
Transport for lumber and pay the agent

How 10 Relieve Earncbe.

Many young babies suffer greatly
from earachc without the cause being
suspected, says the Washington Post.
This is often the case after a cold or an
attack OF bronchitis or pneumonia and
sometimes takes place when the child
is teething. II the child screams sharp
ly, presses his head against his mother
or nurse or pulls at his ear as IL ii hurt
him, then earache may be suspected.
II pressure just in front OF the ear
causes the baby to jump as If In great
pain and TO cry out, there is probably
something wrong with the ear.
Heat is by far the best remedy for
earache. Let the child lie with his ear
against a covered hot water bag or
heat flannel over a lamp and place it
against his ear, changing il often so
as to keep it very hot. IL this does not
help, try Swinging the ear with very
hot water OF temperature OF los de-
grees to 10 degrees Il. Do not use
q poultice or blister unless the doc
tor especially orders il. AS soon as
possible after the first attack OF pain
the baby should be taken TO a doctor.
and a careful examination of his ears
should be made. Much unnecessary
deafness would be avoided if this were
done by all young mothers.

and no one expected him TO come out

he came on and on in spite OF the bull
lets. and at last leaped over the works
OF his own company, TO be received
with cheers.
He did not stop, however. as the
men expected. but ran on TO where
the flag was placed. and. dropping ex-
hausted, caught the edge OF the flag
in his hand and kissed II again and

made warmer and the plant is allowed
more light, so that at the end OF a week
