SPIES ON LUMBER

Government Alleges Blacklist
ing Is Conducted Through
Central Agency.
FILES NEW SUIT IN DENVER
Seeks to Enjoin Secretaries Bureau
and Colorado and Wyoming
Associations.

| Denver, Sept. 2S.-The sensational
charges that the so-called humber trus,
completely dominates the lumber trade
of at least 20 states by maintaining 8
spy system. blackl1sts, divisions OF ter
ritory and other illegal methods con
Quoted through a central agency in
Chicago, called the Lumber Secretar-
les Bureau OF Information, are made
in an antitrust suit filed In the United
States court here by the department
of justice.
The Secretaries Bureau and the Col
orado and Wyoming Lumber Dealers
association are defendants in the ac-
tion. The government asks the court
to- enjoin the bureau from continuing
espionage upon lumbermen by paid
spies and circulating 'blacklists" and
other confidential information" and
that the Colorado and Wyoming asso-
citation be enjoined from contributing
to the aid of the bureau.
BOYCOTT Is ALLEGED.
1t is charged inathe bill that a dealer
is prevented from soliciting or COM
peting for business in the territory of
another: that contracting builders and
other large consumers are prevented
from buying at wholesale; that lumber
dealers who have not obeyed the eth
les" prescribed by the organization
have been watched by detectives from
the central bureau and their "trregu-
lar" sales published to other members
of the association; that they have been
"blacklisted" and have found 1t diff
cult to continue business.
The bill cites that dealers who have
had the temerity to violate the rules
have been posted as "poachers" and
"scalpers." The effect of all this, the
government alleges, has been to fix
prices and restrain trade.
Lumber dealers associations in about
twenty states are named In this bill as
members of the secretaries bureau,
but are not named as defendants in
this suit. Fourteen secretaries of var
ious lumber associations represented
in the bureau were indicted recently
in Chicago under the crime sections of
the Sherman law.
MEMBERS OF COMBINE.
The government alleges that each Of
the following lumber associations, in
addition to the Colorado and Wyom-
ing are represented in the clearing
house:"
Northwestern Lumbermen's associa-
ton.
Southwestern Lumbermeu's associa-
ton.
Michigan Retail Lumber Dealers as
