SENSATIONAL TRUST suit IS FILED

months secret agents from Washing
ton have been working in nearly every
state west of the Mississippi, Illinois,
Michigan and the eastern territory
covered by the New York suit, taking
statements of dealers and examining
books and records of the associations.
The western organizations investigat
ed are reported to be the Northwestern
Retail Lumber Dealers Association at
Minneapolis, the Western Retail Lum.
bermen's Association at Spokane.
Southwestern Lumbermen's Associa-
ton at Kansas City, Mo, Retail Lum-
Der Dealers Association of Colorado
and Wyoming at Colorado Springs,
Colo; Michigan Retail Lumber Deal
ers' Association of Grand Rapids,
Mich; Lumbermen's Association Of
Texas, at Houston, Texas, and the Re.
tail Lumbermen's Association of ILL
nois, at Chicago.
Some of the dealers claim that many
of the lumber associations, as well as
local clubs, exchanges and Zine"
yards, have been under the close scrut-
my of government agents.
Same Questions Involved.
Neither the government officials o
the agents of this particular work will
admit that the Investigations are fin.
ished or that they have any idea of
what decision the department of JUS
tice may make regarding prosecutions.
The question is the same as in the New
York suit, involving the right of the
consumer to deal with. whom he choos-
es.
A particularly bitter war has been
waged in the middle west by retailers
associations upon manufacturers and
wholesalers who have been selling d.
rect to the through mail
order houses, contracting builders and
farmers cooperative unions. Several
years ago Is members of the North
western Lumbermen's association were
indicted in the federal court at Mime.
apolis, charged with conspiracy in
connection with the campaign of
the Chicago retailers against the mail
order houses. The indictments were
dismissed upon technical grounds.
Within the last two years prolonged
litigation against the Nebraska Asso.
citation of Retailers was terminated by
the supreme court of that state, which
held that the association was operating
in violation of the trust law.
Managers of the retail associations
maintain that all their operations have
been directed by the legal opinions of
skilled lawyers. They are prepared to
submit a strong defense to the govern.
ment's attack.
