the violation of the legal right of prop

That there was an influence in

showed that the great heart of the
republic is threatened with fatty de-

their patriotic vigOr; that many Ameri-

Mr.. Lansing, in part, said:
The great war has caused so many

and presented so many questions
which were never before raised OF
even thought of that it has been nc

/ The relations between neutrals anC

ENTERS PLEA FOR
TIMBER INDUSTRY
Interpretation of Sherman Antitrust
Law Wrong as Applied to Lumber.
men Argues Attorney.

Washington, D. c., June pleading
for government aid in placing the tim
Der industry in a state of industrial
preparedness and Of achieving high
plane of efficiency, L. C. Boyle of
Kansas City, representing the National
Lumber Manufacturers association,
today filed with the federal trade COM
mission the first volume of a brief in
the first general investigation by this
commission.
Mr. Boyle declares that the lumber
industry has no hostility toward the
Sherman antitrust law but does be-
lieve that its Interpretation should be
such that great industries be permit
ted to progress with the cooperation
of the units of the industry, as long as
such cooperation does not constitute
restraint of trade. Cooperation under
government regulation to prevent
abuses of destructive competition was
asked and he then analysed the stu
alton in the country to show the need
| of active cooperation for the protec-
| ton of the nations forests againts de-
struction by unregulated competition.
After analyzing the condition, showing
| the needs for reforms, Mr.. Boyle com
pletes his volume of presentation of
conditions with this statement:
THE industry can and should do
much within itself to overcome its diff
fculties. The insistent need. however,
is the earnest and helpful cooperation
of government We ask no favor
, There is public, as well as private
interest at stake. OF this, there is no
Question. Why should not the two
parties in interest, following the die
tates of common prudence, get to-
gether and solve the problem? There
is no other way. Legitimate competi-
tive conditions must be maintained if
we consistently adhere to our ideals OF
national development. Destructive
competition, however must cease il
these ideals are to be realized"

revenue cutter in Southeastern AL askan waters for service in relief work.
 It is the opinion of the Alaskan Bureau that the necessity for such service is most pressing and you may be assured of our every en- deavor to aid you in securing this service. You are proceeding along the right lines in collecting data to accompany your petition. We shall be very pleased to supplement this work and urge the members of our congressional delegation to give the Alaska delegate all help pos- sible in securing an assignment of vessel for this work. We do not believe that congressional ac- ton will be necessary as we think that it is within the power of the Secretary of the Treasury to issue the necessary directions. Judge Wlckersham is, however, the best judge as to the necessary procedure and We shall be pleased to lend hlm all support necessary.
 As soon as we receive the data from you We shall take it up with the proper officials and with the members of our delegation.

That the local Commercial Club has taken the right course in order to aid the fisherman and others during the winter months when danger to life and property is the reward of many of the venturesome, is evidenced by the unqualified sup port of such an institution as the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
