LUMBER TRADE HARD HIT
Z. S. Regulation of Competition Is
Urged on Federal Board.

Chicago, July 19.-GOvernmental
regulation of competition as opposed
to the governments activity against
trusts and monopolies is a necessity,
according to representatives of the
lumber industry who presented formal
statements describing present cond1-
lions in their trade at conference
held here today between the federal
trade commission and committee rep
resenting the National Lumber Man
ufacturers association.
Over-production, uncontrolled price
cutting and other ruinous competitive
practices were blamed by r. H. Down
man~of New Orleans, president of the
National Lumber Manufacturers as
sociations for the present situation in
the lumber industry.
President bowman was followed
by Chas. S. Keith of Kansas City, pres
ident of the Southern Pine association,
who declared lumber manufacturing
practically ruined. He suggested the
only remedy was to stop the produc-
ton of more lumber than the market
can assimilate.
The hearing begun by the commits
sion here today will be continued. The
commission will go to Detroit We'd

DUE TO POLITICS.
Experts Interpret Utilities Com
mission Gas Decision.
Kansas Natural Established
Every Contention, Says One.
Too much politics.


That is the explanation of gas ex-
perts in discussing the decision of the
Kansas public utilities commission in
based on a similar action by the Mis-
souri, commission. Clearly the experts
in touch with gas conditions are not
pleased with the situation
r. s. Litchfield, a receiver for the
Kansas Natural Gas company is
quoted by an Independence paper As
saying that no official notice had been
received from the state commission.
Then another gas and oil man" is
quoted as saying some rather cauStic
things about the utilities commission.
ruling and the spirit that prompted
narrow increase in rates.
The Kansas Natural established
every single claim it made and proved
everything it started out to prove
says the independence gas man. "It
showed conclusively that the company
could not be operated and break even
on any less increase than was asked
for. 1t demonstrated to the complete
satisfaction of everyone that acquisi-
ton of gas is becoming more costly
every year because the field is getting
farther and farther from the con-
sumner. Yet in the face of all this the
increase is held down to such a point
as will not enable the company TO ac-
quire new gas lands, to say nothing
of operating the system at profit or
paying its legitimate running eX-
penseS
THE plain truth is there is too
much politics in the deal. Allowing
public utilities to increases their
charges is not popular and it will not
make votes for officials who do it,

May Be Called Tomorrow.

Bridgeport, Conn, July 19.-LabOr
leaders in charge of the strike situa-
ton in Bridgeport announced this aft
ernoon that they had failed to hear
from the New Yorker who, on Satur-
day, requested the postponement of
the calling out of the machinists enl-
plOyed by the Remington Arms and
Ammunition company.
If we do not hear from this man
by O'Clock this afternoon" said j.
j. keppler, international vice presi-
dent of the Machinists' union, we
will have to believe that the negotia-
tions have failed. In that event the
men will probably be called ont to-
morrow, twenty-four hours after the
time originally set for the beginning
of the strike

ment came another from the secretary

Washington, July 19.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American

vention. He will confer with the Ia
Dor leaders and others interested, and
while no official action has been TAX
en- by the department of labor, Secre-
tary Wilson has been consulted and is
in touch with the situation.
President Gompers today expressed
the opinion the Bridgeport uble
may have been part of general plan
by foreign influences to cause labor
troubles to cut off American exports
of arms and ammunition.
Il know that foreign interests well
supplied with funds have sought to
bring on labor troubles to prevent the
shipping of American products to
Europe" said Mr. Gompers.

Savages Supposed To Be SWIM
ming Home From Omaha.
When Last Heard From They
Were at HiaWatha.

For several hours this morning
there were rumors afloat that To-
peka's ball club might be no more.
The team was known to have left
Omaha Sunday night for Topeka, but
when it failed to arrive on time local
fans began to wonder if Manager
Jackson and Owner Savage might not
have mistaken last nights rain for a
second flood and started floating
down the Missouri in Noah's ark,
made out of an NJ. P. Pullman.
Mrs. Jackson feared as much and
made strenuous efforts to locate
Jimmy, but without results. Other eff
forts were made that We're equally
futile. The Denver Bears with their
Grizzly hides swelled over the drub-
bling they gave Des Moines arrived u.
the city on time and made a noise
like they were fearful of the fate of
the Savages.
Manager Coffey Immediately got
into touch with the groundkeeper az
the park but was informed that his
men wouldn't be allowed to enter the
park unless they wore bathing suits
and would make affidavit that they
knew how to swim. Blakeley, the
industrious guardian of the park pond,
refused to play the role of life saver
even long enough to allow the Bears
to work out.
Still there was no word from the
SaVageS until just before noon, when
Tom King, city passenger agent of the
Santa Fe, received a telegram from
John Savage stating that the team was
in high water at Hiawatha and was
trying to swim into Atchison via the
Missouri Pacific tracks.
Savage also asked King to wire him
the condition of the grounds and the
genial c. P. a. answered as follows:
They are being used for a regatta
course by all the ducks in town..
Mr.. King said that the SaVages were
due in Atchison at 6:55 this morning
and that the fact they were still in
Hiawatha indicated them to be poor
swimmers. He said they probably
would not reach Topeka before 10: 80
tonight.
