WICKERSHAM ON
TRAIL OF THE
LUMBER TRUST

Washington, May 23.-The depart
nent of justice is investigating the
price of lumber in the United States
with a view of determining whether or
not the so-called lumber trust may be
reached by the Sherman antitrust law
On the ground it is a combination in
restraint of trade.
For some time officials have been
looking carefully into the charges
that the so-called trust controlled the
price of lumber and an agent had
been at work gathering information
for the use of the department. Ev-
cry state, county and city, it is said,
has its lumber organization which of
hcials declare they believe sets the
price of the article, as well as restricts
the sale to particular individuals The
so-called combination, officials say, is
one of the most formidable with
which the department has had to
deal.
That the cost of lumber is an i'm
portant consideration in the high cost
of living problem is the opinion of
those who have been looking into the
subject. The point is made that the
inquiry now under way is in line with
the policy of the department of JUS
tice to investigate and prosecute COM
binations alleged to be in restraint
of trade that enter into the high cost
of living without waiting for a deci-
sion by the supreme court in the
Standard Oil and American Tobacco
cases.
