Associated Press to Coos Tlmo.) WASHINGTON, D. C, April 4. Its demand upon President Taft for publication of conclusions of tho Dcpnrtraont of Commorco and Labor upon its Investigation of tho lumbor manufacturing business, ordered by Congress In 1906, was mado public today by tho National Lumbor Manu facturers' Association, with other Lorrcspondouco hotweon President Taft and tho Secretary of tho De partment of Commcrco and unuor. This Bomowhat unusual attitude on the part of a great manufacturing In dustry 1b In tho form of a petition which sots forth that tho dolay in reporting tho findings of tho depart ment has tended to confirm tho pub lic In tho opinion that a "lumbor trust" oxlsts In tbo manufacturing t-ido of tho lumber business, and has greatly accentuated tho attacks upon that Industry. "Wo, representing many citizens of tho United States, who aro entitled to Justlco at tho haodB Of tho gov ernment, and to that Justlco which Is doubly admlrnblo If prompt," snys tho momorlal, "petition you to hnvo mndo public at tho earliest posslblo moment the wholo conclusion of tho Department of Commorco and Labor as to tho principal quostlon put to It by tho congressional resolutions, that tho pooplo of this country may no longer havo to depend for tholr opin ion ns to tho lumber producing Indus try upon Insinuations, unvorjlflod charges, suspicion or projudlco." On rocclpt of tho stntomont and petition of tho lumbermen, President Taft referred tho complnlnt to Sec retary Nanel. who furnished tho President with a reply. This reply states the position of tho administra tion In tho mnttor. Tho lumbor manufacturers, upon receiving tho letter from tho Sccrotnry of Com morco. mado another appeal to Presi dent Taft, saying: "Wo hopo, Mr. Presldont, notwith standing tho present nttltudo of tho administration, ns oxprossod by tho Honornblo Secretary, that you will promote the prompt Justlco nskod for by a body of tho cltlzonshlp now, ns they verily hollovo, mlsundorstood nnd grovlously maligned." In the petition, rofcronco Is mndo to tho fact that while tho Dopartmcnt of Commorco and I.a'tor mndo public February 13. 1911. a partial report on tho lumbor Industry, It related only to tl e private ownership of stnndlng timber hi tho United States, nnd advanced only one of tho reasons for tho nlloge'd high pjco of lumbor; that this partlol report Ignored tho request of Oonrg to report par ticularly ns to rno Pxi"ienro oi com binations, eto, In restraint of trade nnd therefore failed to give tho lumbor producers tho verdict which thoy nBkod for at a conferonco with tho Presldont. Secretary Nngol, nnd Commissioner Smith In Washington, January 12. 1910. "Price of lumber nt mills." says the petition, "advanced during tho seven yonrs from 1899 to 1900, nbout 3S por cont. This rorrospondotl with the ndvnnco In othor commoultlos whlPh ontor so greatly Into the cost of lumbor. ahd In part to tho In creased nluos of stumpago. "Prices to t! p ponsiimor In some sections of the country remote from liiiiibriridiirlnK sort Inns, advanced probably in still groator proportion due In part to the exhaustion of nonr supplies, making necossnry fie pay ment of greatly Incroaspd transpor tation charges. "Notwithstanding these Bufflclont reasons It Is charged amj sooms to have been commonly bolloved that tho increnso In prices at tho mills whs dun to tho existence of controll ing nmiilnntIons or ncreements com monly known as 'trusts,' and that Mip lumber trust' was and Is an op pressive onttty." T o potltlon then says that respon sive to public charges Congress Adopted resolutions for an Investiga tion of the lumber business. Atten tion Is particularly called to tho fact that the resolutions required that tho Investigation should bo conducted with "tho particular oujecr oi as certaining the existonro oi any cum lilnat'on. conspiracy, trust, agree ment or contract In restraint of com merce. . ., lt . Tho petition snys iiirinor umi ii-iiHn n Affect of these resolutions was Injurious to the lumbor Indus try tho investigation was woicuumu hr 'lumbor nroducers "who bad long been rostlve undor the loose un founded nnd Ignorant charges maoe against them." and that every as sistance to the Investigation was glv- "Wlth this actlvo and henrty co operation of the lumbor Industry It was felt that tl o Inquiry should pro duco early results." On the contrary, cays tho petition, it was not untl.
