ACTION BROUGHT BY THREE STATES AGAINST BIG luM-
 BIER DEALERS.
HAVE TOTAL CAPITAL OF 300 MILLIONS
Four States planned to Sue; Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas- Oklahoma Is Not Ready But Wiii Act Soon-The Alleged Trust Was Formed in St. Louis Recently.


 Kansas City, July 31.-Suits were brought in three states Thursday Tn an effort to dissolve the alleged Lum- Der trust recently formed in St. Louis. The attorneys general of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas entered into an agreement months ago to in- yestigate the lumber business in uni son, and the gathering of evidence has been in progress since. This evi- dence has been exchanged by the ofii- cials and much of it can be used in each state. Nearly all of the com panies against which suit has been brought are Missouri concerns and have offices in Kansas City. The suit was not brought in Ok lahoma because the attorney general had been prevented by action brought by Governor Haskell in another case. Topeka, July 31.-Fred s. Jackson, attorney general, filed in the district court Thursday morning an applica- tion for an injunction against eleven lumber companies which he charges with being in a conspiracy in restraint of trade
 This application was filed at 10 o'clock. At the same hour in Mis- souri similar proceedings were in progress as those in Kansas. It is supposed that the Texas attorney general brought the same proceedings as the attorney generals of the other three states, but it is not known here definitely whether or not Texas start ed it's antitrust suit Thursday.
 It has long been charged that the lumber companies doing business in Kansas were in a trust but very lit tie evidence could be secured to prove this. When the attorney general was getting evidence along this line early in the summer it appeared that the trust agreement had been broken up and was effective only with a few companies and was not being rigidly enforced
 The companies involved in the suit represent capital of 300 million dol lars invested in the yellow pine lum- Der industry of the country. These companies practically control the en- tire output of yellow pine in the Mid dle West and absolutely control the amount of lumber which may be shipped into Kansas. It is charged by the attorney general that these companies are planning to extend their trust agreement to cover the en- tire yellow pine industry of the coun- try
 The attorneys general of Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas have been working on this suit for six months or more.

are athletic and artistic. Several
