10000 lumber manufacturers and
dealers are now in a position to do
more than their share in terminating
the nationwide dwelling, shortage, L.
C. Boyle. of the Nationah Lumber
Manufacturers association. an
nounced today.
At the same time justice department.
officers are conducting an Anvestiga-
ton of high lumber prices which are
blamed in part for the stoppage of
building operations.
Lumber prices are now lowest since
the armistice," said .PoSle- NPrices
have been slashed an average of 40
per cent. Stocks of lumber are IIling
, and many mills are being forced to
close for lack of orders.
NOW is the time to build if fair
wage scales can be put into operation.
Labor costs represent more than two
thirds of the cost of erecting dwell
ings."
Lumber Men Not Anxious.
Boyle said lumber manufa cturers
are not anxious about the report sent
TO congress yesterday in which the
federal trade commission charged that
lumber manufacturers thru trade as
sociations control the output and
prices of humber thruout the entire
United States.
Evidence p resented Senator Cali
der's committee now investigating the
lumber ind ~stry contradicts the charge
of the federal trade commission said
Boyle. Boyle also called attention to
an Investigation made last summer
by the forestry bureau of the agrf-
culture department which he said
showed the real cause of high prices
of lumber as being shortage of stocks.
Antitrust Prosecutions
While Boyle was discussing the sit
uation; Judge Nebeker, assistant at
