LuMBERMEN Me-: DENY i: " AL. ALL !.
NORTHWESTERN ASSOCIATIONS
CHALLENGES GOVERNMENT.
They Say They Never Tried to Pre-.
vent Wholesalers Selling Direct
to Consumers

Minneapolis, MINI. - In q booklet
of 131 pages the officers of the North
western Lumbermen's association filed
with the clerk of the federal court
their answer to the complaint of the
United States government charging
that the association was guilty of acts
in restraint of interstate trade in
lumber products
The answer is signed by w. r.
Wood. president of the association;
Charles Webster, vice president; Will
lard G. Hollis, secretary, and George
p. Thompson, treasurer. IT. also in.
cludes answers from other organiza-
tions allied with the Northwestern
Lumbermen's association in. restrain.
ing trade between lumber manufac-
turers and consumers. Among these
concerns are the Lumbermen+ Publish
ing company of which the official or
gan is the mississippi Valley Lum-
berman," with Platt B.. Walker, Jr.,
as manager, and the Northern Infor.
nation bureau, of which Lester w.
Boyce is the accredited head!
The answer of the defendants both
az individuals and. as officers: of the
associations, is a denial of all the
charges made against them by the fed
eral government. They deny that they
ever tried to bring about classifica-
tion in the lumber business that would
i'm any way prevent manufacturers and
wholesale dealers from doing business
directly with consumers. This allega-
tion forms the chief complaint against
the Northwestern Lumbermemss asso,
ciation and its officers.
Challenge is, Made.
It is contended that if there is, any
classification in the business it arose
from the natural exigencies of the
lumber trade and the answer. cltal.
1enges the. federal authorities to prove
that the association ever engaged, in
anything but a, lawful promotion OF
business.
The answer contains history OF
the origin and growth Of the North.
western Lumbermen's association, its
connection with the lumber. secre'
taries' bureau of information, and Its
subsequent breaking away from that
organization. After an elaborate state
ment Of its articles of Incorporation
it challenges the United States gov
ernment to prove that the association
has ever been guilty of any act q
conspiracy that can reasonably bt
construed as a violation of interstate
| commerce laws or as q restraint a
