THE LUMBER MEN SEND
MEMORIAL TO PRESIDENT
Demands the Publication of Depart
ment of Commences Conclus-
ions on Investigation.
Associated Press Special.

Washington, April Sits de
mand upon President Taft for pub
lication of conclusions of the de
partment of commerce and labor
upon its investigation of the lumber
manufacturing business, ordered by
congress in 1906, was made public
today by the National Lumber Man
ufacturers' Association, with Other
correspondence between President
Taft and the secretary of the de-
partment of commerce and labor.
This somewhat unusual attitude
on the part of great manufacture
ing industry is in the form of pc
luton which sets forth that the de-
lay In reporting the findings of the
department has tended to confirm
the public in the opinion that a
lumber trust exists in the manu-
featuring side of the lumber bust
ness. and has greatly accumulated
the attacks upon that industry.

public February 13, 1911, a partia
report on the lumber industry, it re
: lated only to the private ownership
of standing timber in the United
States, and advanced only one Of
the reasons for the alleged higt
price of lumber; that this partial
report ignored the request Of con.
gress to report particularly as to the
existence of combinations, etc, in
4 restraint Of trade and therefore
failed to give the lumber producers
the verdict which they asked for at
a conference with the president
Secretary Nagel, and Commissioner
Smith in Washington, January 70,
1910.
Prices of lumber at the mills, .
says the petition, advanced during
the seven years from 1899 to 1906,
about thirty-eight per cent This
correspondent with the advance in
other commodities which enter so
greatly into the cost of lumber, and
in part to the increased values OF
stumpage.
Prices to the consumer in some
sections of the country remote from
lumber producing sections, advanc-
ed probably in still greater proper
ton due in part to the exhaustion
of near supplies, making necessary
the payment of greatly increased
transportation charges.
Notwithstanding these sufficient
reasons it is charged and seems to
have been commonly believed that
the increase in prices at the mills
was due to the existence of controll-
ing combinations or agreements
commonly known as trusts and
that the lumber trust was and Is
an oppressive entity"
The petition then says that res
ponsive to public charges congress
adopted resolutions for an investi-
CATION of the lumber business. At
tention is particularly called to the
TACT that the resolutions required
that the investigation should be
conducted with ''the particular OBJ
5ectp of acertaining the existence OF
any combination, conspiracy, trust,
agreement or contract in restraint
of commerce.
The petition says further that
while the effect of these resolutions
was injurious to the lumber indus
try, the investigation was welcomed
by lumber producers who had long
been FESTIVE under the loose I'M
founded and ignorant charges
made against them and that every
assistance to the investigation was
given.
With this active and hearty COS
operation OF the lumber industry Il
was felt chat the inquiry should pro-
duce early renuIts.,s On the contrary
says the petition, it was not until
February Is, 1871 more than four
years after the passage OF the reso-
luton, that any report whatever
was made by the commissioner OF
corporations. who had charge of this
