Glass No. is the wholesale trade

To Establish RIackIists.

The result OF this supervision and
restriction, it Is said, was to establish
blacklists of those violating the rules
of the ACCUSATIONS and to maintain
arbitrary rules for the trade and bust
ness of buying, selling and shipping
lumber, and to eliminate competition
between the manufacturer, wholesaler
and retailer.
The minor trade organizations, it is
charged, keep in constant touch with
the other organizations, reporting all
firms or persons to be blacklisted
These blacklists are said to have been
published, and members of the asso
citation selling to these "outlawed"
firms were at once placed under the
ban and their supply of lumber cut
/ off.
One blacklist exhibited to the grand
jury yesterday, and sent out by the
New York Lumber Trade Association
last December, showed the following
Chicago concerns to be on the "un-
fair" list
Green Lumber Company.
