Chicago, July 10. Governmental
regulation of competition as opposed
to the governments activity against
trusts and monopolies is necessity,
according to representatives of the
lumber industry who presented formal
statements describing present condi-
lions in their trade at conference
held here today between the federal
trade commission and a committee rep
resenting the National Lumber Manu-
lecturers association.
Over production, uncontrolled price
cutting and other ruinous competitive
practices were blamed by R. H. Dow
man OF New Orleans, president of the
National Lumber manufacturers asso-
citation, for the present situation in the
lumber industry. He described the sit
uation as being one Of Generalization
for the last eight years, including at
this time condition OF actual loss
and a shameful waste of forest re-
sources in the face Of the necessity Of
providing employment for 695,OOO men,
on whom are dependent 3,475,OOO per-
sons These figures, he added, showed
the lumber industry to be the third
largest in the United States in the
number of employees engaged.
President Downman was followed by
Charles S. Keith Of Kansas City, presi-
dent of the Southern Pine association,
who declared the lumber manufactur
ing business practically ruined. He
suggested that the only remedy was to
stop the production of more lumber
than the market can assimilate.
Saw mill owners, wholesale dealers.
timber land owners and representa-
tives of lumber associations supplied
the commissioners with data on condi-
tions Robert H. Downman OF New
Orleans, president of the National
Lumber Manufacturers association,

Commission Seeks Facts on
Foreign Trade Possibilities

was prepared to give a general outline
of the industry. Men identified with
the lumber interests throughout the
country were present.
The hearings are apart of nation
wide series arranged toward develop
Ing Americas foreign commerce. On
Wednesday the commission will hold a
session in Detroit. Thursday in Gin
cinnati and on Friday in Indianapolis,
returning to Chicago on Monday to re-
sumo its inquiry. Later sessions will
be held in many of the large cities
west to the Pacific coast.
In outlining the purposes of the hear
ing, Edward N. Hurley of Chicago, vice
chairman of the commission, said:
The commission has deemed the
present most opportune time to con-
duct such an Investigation as this
provision Of the federal trade act con-
templates. In world convulsed with
war, the United States is at peace.
The channels Of international trade in
neutral markets of the world have
been demoralized. In the judgment Of
the best business brains Of this coun-
try there never has been so favorable
an opportunity for American COM
merce to seek and find foreign markets
for its products as at this juncture.
with the prospect in view of get
ting the facts regarding our foreign
trade possibilities, the commission has
entered on this investigation. The
market is there and we must develop
it."
The members of the commission are
William j. Harris of Georgia, William
H. Parry Of Seattle, Wash, George
Rublee Of New Hampshire, Joseph e.
Davies of Madison, Wis, chairman of
the commission, and Mr.. Hurley.
The hearing will be continued tomor-
row. 1
