; SEATTLE April. lij-W-President Corydon Wagner of the
West Coast lArmbermen's association declared Wednesday that
the consent decree entered by the association at Lois Angeles
in a federal court Sherman anti-trust law indictment; was "es
sentially an agreement to revise I
business practices ' in accordance
with new rules for the game.
The Tacoma executive's state
ment was issued through the as
sociation office here. The associ
ation was fined $3,000. Five oth
er lumber associations, 32 com
panies and 20 individuals were
fined under the consent decree.
The fines totaled $107,000. Wag
ner was one of the individuals
fined $500.
Wagner emphasized that the
consent decree was "not aa ad
mission of wrongdoing, but an
agreement to "play the game In
accordance with the new rules
and to accept the orders of the
umpire."
The Donates fir naaaTfaetar
ers have followed the roles at
the game as they eaderstood
them," Wagner's sUlesaent add
ed. The federal courts them
selves have keen eeofased as to
Jost what the rales are. .The
government's own economic
polity has been smeertala.
In the days of the NRA, in
dustry was compelled to do many
things then held to be in the
public interest which are now
regarded as grounds for criminal
indictment. Industry has had to
determine its course in the face
of a good deal of uncertainty and
confusion.
