Professor Hollis Candidacy.
Greensboro Tar Heel.

Greensboro Tar heel.
While it is no fight of ours, the an.
nouncement of the candidacy of Prof.
J. Allen Holt for the Democratic
Congressional nomination makes
the Tar Heel wonder if he is not
making a mistake. Poof. Holt is a
strong man. He has built up a
great high school for boys and is
serving his country well in his present
capacity. 1t would be nothing short
OF a public calamity to see the school
which Prof. Holt has built up so
down, and his entrance into politics
endangers his school. The record
Prof. Holt made in the Legislature
by his attacks upon the railroadt
and the American Tobacco Com
pany pnts him high up in the class
OF radicals who threaten destruction
to the business and prosperity of the
country. Again we say it is none OF
our fight, but we hate to see Prof.
Holt ground up in the cruel mill OF
politics.

loyalty. The man who is cross

poor spoke in the business wheel.
The fellow who is constantly hating

cotton patch. Ebert Hubbard, in
one OF his little preachments, says
that il the concern where you are en-

LUMBER DEALERS
HAVE GRIEVANCES
RAILROADS TO Be BROUGHT
TO TIME
Rivalry Between Hill and Hartman
Lines Causes Protest to Be Made
to Interstate Commerce
Commission
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April S0.-Rivalry
between the Hill and Hartman lines
in the northwest has eliminated in the
presentation of the matter to the inter-
state commerce commission.
For several months lumber dealers
and manufacturers in Washington, par
ticularly in the Puget sound country,
have complained informally to the
commission that owing to the refusal
Of the Hill and Hartman lines to
make them through rates and joint
rates they were unable to get their
products shipped to points east of the
Cascade mountains
Finally it was suggested that they
institute proceedings under the new
rate law to compel the railroads to
make such through rates and joint
rates.
In compliance with the suggestion
the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufactur-
ers' association, the Southwest Lumber
association and the Shingle Mills bu-
reau today filed a complaint with the
commission against the Northern Pa
cific, the Great Northern, the Southern
Pacific, the Oregon Short line and f1f-
teen other roads, requesting the COM
mission to issue orders providing that
the railroads shall make through and
joint rates on lumber projects from
points in Washington via Portland to
points east OF the Cascade mountains.
1t is stated in the petition that there
are Alt sawmills in western Washing
ton with an annual output of nearly
5000, 600 feet of lumber and that
there are 453 shingle mills with an an
nual output of more than 14,00o,000,0OO
shingles, all of them re presented by the
complainants.
It Is said that there are now await
ing shipment from that territory not
less than $4,000 carloads of manufac-
tured lumber and that the annual out
put of such lumber from that territory
is not less than 10000 carloads. 1t is
alleged that the defendant lines refused
to interchange cars at Portland and it
is thus rendered impossible to get lum-
ber products to market.

independently.
1t was believed by the executive
board of the council to be the better
policy to allow the strike to proceed
