MEETING WILL BE HELD
SOON TO DECIDE ACTION
Shortage Of Cars Is Said to Be the
TroubIe--Lumber Being Stacked up
in the Yards With No Cars to Move
It and No Money to Pay.

1t has been learned that a number
OF mills north of Hattiesburg are se-
riously considering the question OF
whether to shut down altogether, tenn
porarily, or to continue operations and
cut down the payrolls by general re-
duction of wages.
This will affect all the mills north
OF Hattiesburg as far as McGee and is
forced upon the lumbermen by the
car shortage. and the low prices in
vogue. The shortage of cars to move
the lumber cut increases, the yard
stock and the consequence is that the
lumber must be handled too many
times to leave much profit at the pres
ent prices and the large increase of
yard stock is just SO much money
tied up.
The question under these conditions
is whether 1t is worse for the mills
to continue at loss or for the la
borers to get half q loaf instead of
none. IN ~
1t is said that shortly II meeting
of the owners and companiea operat-
ing the mills mentioned will be held
at or near Hattiesburg for the purpose
of considering these questions very
seriously.

the monopoly will be barred as they

expect to get facts that will substan-
tiate the charge that the oil company
has carried on its operations in viola
tion of the Sherman antitrust law.
Among those subpoenoed to produce
the records are Henry M. Flagler and
Wade Hampton, the latter being audit
or of the company. This subpoena
