misunderstanding Representative
Byrd of Mississippi, and Representa-

Mr.. Byrd asked Mr.. Fordney if it
were not true that a combination ex-
listed among the RETAIL dealers of
Michigan to which Mr.. Fordney's firm,
which is operating in that state was a
party.
Mr.. Byrd added that he knew where
of he spoke when he charged the ex-
istence of such a combination.
"The gentleman does not know a

Immediately Mr.. Byrd made his way
toward Mr.. Fordney, but several DEM
ocratic members stopped him.
Mr.. Fordney apologized to the house,
and said that if he had offended the
gentleman from Mississippi he most
humbly apologized. He added, howev-
er, that Mr.. Byrd could not say that
his firm was member of a lumber
trust.
Mr.. Byrd then explained that 1t was
not his intention to make such a
charge, and the incident was closed
