Having found how easily a more IA
vorable showing could be made to the
State Banking Department through
transactions of the Independent Fert'-
lizer Company character. and possibly
with the expectation of the Independent
Fertilizer Company later getting into a
position where It could put up with the
Carnegie Trust Company such security
as would justify the trust company in
actually permitting them to use this

To FORM NEW UNION

New York, Dec. 21.-Half million
workers are represented in conven-

1t is stated that the main object of
the movement is to keep labor united
so that it can act inelligently in mat
tiers in which the unions of the two

WOOD WAsTE0F THEsOUTH


fBy Associated Press.1
Washington, Dec. 21.--A great un.
developed industry, worth millions OF
dollars annually, lies at the doors Of
the people of the South and the far
Northwest in the immense wastes of
wood incident to the manufacture OF
lumber.
An amazing statement Of these
wastes and the consequent loss in
wealth and conservation OF timber re-
sources, is made as result of two
years government investigation, not
yet concluded, by F. P. veitch, chief
Of the leather and paper division of
the bureau OF chemistry, and M. G.
Donk, assistant chemist, whose pre-
liminary conclusions have Just been
made public.
The waste wood OF the South and
Northwest from the lumber industry
tops, stumps, slabs and sawdust, and
the dead and down timber from fires
and storms-furnishes one Of the
great undeveloped resources of this
country" says the investigators
From this wood, by industrially de-
veloped chemical methods, the entire
output of naval stores, embracing tur-
pentine, rosin, tars, pitch, rosin spirits
and rosin oils, having an annual value
of at least $3O,OOO,OOO, may be obtained
without boxing or turpentining e sin.
gle live tree.
ut is possible to recover from the
wastes of the yellow pine lumber in.
dustry Including dead and down tim
ber) as much or more turpentine
rosin and rosin oils as are now pro,
duced by the ordinary methods of tur-
pentining from the living trees. The
profitable utilization Of mill wastes in
this way would add materially to the
wealth Of the South and help to con.
serve its timber resources.
There is more than sufficient waste
material to yield annually all the pa.
pers Except news, paper and box
board and building board required, for
which wood is suitable.
More methyl alcohol, acetate OF
lime, and acetone can be produced
from this wood than is now made in
the country, and large quantities of
ethyl alcohol may also be recovered.
There are millions of acres OF cut.
over land covered with stumps and
dead and down timber, all of which
because of It's resinous nature, decays
very slowly, enduring for years. There
is enough Of such material to supply
all demands for the above mentioned
products for very long period. The
processes, equipment and technique
for the utilization of this material are
either in operation or may be readily
devised"

yesterday on an Official visit. When
interviewed by Post representative
Mr.. Boyett said:
There are very few violators Of the
feed law at this time, although our
four inspectors are kept busy on the
road all the time. Feed dealers realize
the advantage of the law and are very
careful to meet the requirements.
They realize 1t protects not only them,
but also their customers, and is pro-
tective in the sense of keeping the
class of feedstuffs up to the average.
There are dealers in all lines OF bust
ness who would take advantage of an
opportunity to work a fraud and be-
fore the feed law was put into effect
the honest dealers We're greatly in
jured by dishonest dealers who could
afford to cut prices on corrupted feed.
AS the situation exists at this time
there are splendid conditions prevail
ing In the feed business of the state
and pure feedstuffs are protected by
the law"
Hon. j. R. Astin of Bryan, state
senator from that district, was a Wis
itor to the city yesterday. Mr.. Astin
is in Houston attending to business
matters and will be here for two days.
When interviewed by a Post repre-
sentative Mr.. Astin said: ut is little
early to make predictions in Texas
politics and as yet have formed no
opinions OF a permanent nature. Of
course there will be warm interest be-
fore the campaign is ended. but at
this time II is hard to say just how the
candidates will run"
