BIG LUMBER TRUST is
STILL ON THE RACK

st. Louis, May 26.-W G. Hollis,
secretary of the Northwestern Lum-
bermeh's association, explained in
the hearing of the states custer suit
against the alleged lumber trust
terms he used in a circular which
told of an agreement between the
retailers and wholesalers for trade
protection
The circular was based on the
agreement signed in Chicago in 1903
and in it the term "poacher" was
used. This, according to Hollis,
meant any retailer who entered the
restricted territory of another retail
er. The agreement deprecated the
entrance of the cooperative lumber
firm into tie field occupied by the
retailer and of efforts to overcome
the power of the co-operatives.
The agreement, Hollis testified,
was ratified ty the Yellow Pine
Manufacturers association in Octo-
ber, 1904, and was abolished in April,
1905 on advice of attorneys. He de-
MED that the attorneys had advised
the association it went beyond tle
