DENIES LUMBER COMBINE.
Omaha Man Declares Nebraska Prices
Were Not "Eixed"

Kansas City, Jan. 25.-W. c. Bul.
lard, retail lumber dealer of Omaha,
testified that in 1908, when the suit
was brought, he controlled six yards
in Nebraska and that there was un-
restricted competition among dealers
in yellow pine at that time. He said
he got daily quotations from travelling
representatives of lumber companies
and that prices were absolutely con-
trolled by supply and demand. There
were fluctuations from day to day, he
said, and there was no discrimination
in favor of members of the Yellow
Pine Manufacturers association. He
said the issuance of a price list by
the association had no effect on the
market price of pine, but that the
price list was convenience and ben
eft to the wholesaler, retailer, builder
and all others interested in lumber.
Mr.. Bullard said the association
never tried TO coerce wholesalers or
retailers and never made an effort to
drive anybody out of business.
w. c. SCarritt. counsel for the lum-
bermen, protested vigorously when
Assistant General Atkinson, cross-eX-
amining the witness, tried to bring
out that a gradual increase in prices
was shown by the price list issued
from 1904 to 1905
The state is trying to create a
, false impression here" he said The
, state has introduced in evidence mar
ket reports which show that the mar
ket fell five different times during
the period mentioned"
Mr.. Atkinson disclaimed any inten-
tion to misrepresent the evidence al.
ready introduced and he was allowed
to pursue his line of questioning.

TO SAVE COUNTRY MERCHANT
National Organization Must Be Ef-
fected to Fight Mail Houses.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 25-lf the
country merchants are to save them
selves from being swept out of eX-
istence by the big mail order houses
they must organize for their own pro-
lection, l.. c. Boyle of Kansas City,
former attorney general of Kansas,
said today in an address here before
the Southwest Lumbermens associa-
ton meeting in annual session.
The insistent clamor to destroy the
country merchant was first heard"
Mr.. Boyle said, simultaneously with
the birth of the mail order house.
The demand to eliminate the middle
man applies only to country mer-
chants, because the mail order houses
confine their operations to country
districts.
Il am forced to believe that if the
farmer and laborer but understood
the situation Alright the mail order
business would be short lived. ELM
mate the country merchant and the
business of distributing the eces-
stiles of life will of necessity center
in the hands of a few great corpo-
rations. The only solutions of the
matter will be state and national
socialism.
The solution of the problem lies
in a close, militant, aggressive orga-
nization. The rule of reason was ap-
piled to the Standard Oil case and
this was done to meet the business of
that great organization. If the courts
will not apply the same rule when
the little fellow is concerned, let the
little fellows get together and make
big fellow and then we can apply
the rule of reason The lumber
dealers cannot do this work alone. All
retail associations must get together
in the national federation. There are
millions of young men thus united.
Lay aside petty differences and do
something for the retail merchant"
