WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. A general
investigation of the lumber industry,
particularly for the yellow pine indus
try of tho south, is being conducted by
the department of justice to determine
whether there have been violations of
the Sherman anti-trust act.
This became known today after the
federal trade commission had trans
mitted to congress a copy of a report
on the activities of organizations of
lumber manufacturers, which it has
prepared at the request of the depart
ment of justice.
Report to Congress
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. An exten
sive investigation into the activities of
lumber manufacturers through their
national and regional associations is
being made by the department of jus-
tlve, with the assistance of the federal
trade commission.
This is disclosed in a report sent to
day to congress by the commission In
connection with the inquiry being con
ducted by the senate committee on
housing and reconstruction. The re
port, the commission says is designed
to show the activities of the manufac
turers and their attitude towards "na
tional legislation, amendments to the
revenue laws, elimination of competi
tive woods, control of prices and pro
duction, restriction of re-forestralion
and other matters."
It is set out that the regional asso
ciations have formed the National
Lumber Manufacturers association
with headquarters at Chicago.
West Coast involved
The principal regional associations
listed as constituting the national as
sociation nre the Southern Pine associ
ation; West Coast Lumber associa
tion; Western Pine Manufacturers as
sociation, Western Hemlock and Hard
Woo Manufacturers, Northern Pine
Manufacturers association; North Car
olina Pine association; Georgia-Florida
Saw Mill association; Southern
Cypress association; Michigan Hard
wood Manufacturers association and
the California Sugar and White Pine
Manufacturers association.
The commission informs congress
that the national association has been
"very active in legislative and depart
mental affairs which affect this indus
try," it adds that L. C. Boyle, a Kansas
City attorney, with headquarters in
Washington "is employed to attend to
such matters for the national associa
tion," and that he also represents
many of the regional associations.
The report says the national associa
10 BE PROBED
tion appointed a committee upon "gov
ernment relations," the function of
which was "fully outlined" by Mr.
Boyle in a letter dated May 5, 1919
to Charles F. Keith, president of the
Southern Pine association, which the
commission quotes as follows:
. Letter Is Quoted
"To my mind the outstanding oppor
tunity your committee has to serve the
Industry and also the country at large
Is to so mobilize its units that they
may be in a position to more adequate
ly defend themselves against the de
structive tendencies of the hour. The
result can be aided by the industry be
ing kept fully advised through your
committee of governmental activities
political, legislative and departmen
tal that have for their direct or in
direct object invasion of constitutional
guarantees!
'It would be unwise to spread broad
cast the plan of organizing your com
mittee and this especially if the organ
ization is to be comprehensive of the
industry, because the very magnitude
of the plan would challenge attention
and arouse suspicion."
Numerous extracts from correspon
dence, said to have passed between
officials of regional organizations, are
given in tho report to support the com
mission's charge that issuance of price
lists from time to time was an "estab
lished practice."
Eliminate Competition
The correspondence quoted involves
the West Coast Lumbermen's associa
tion; the Western Pine Manufacturers
association; the Association of Hem
lock Manufacturers and the Michigan
Hardwood association.
The report contains documents in
support of further charges that the
association hud consistently sought to
eliminate competition not only in
prices but in competing woods and
also to restrict production in the Inter
est of price levels.
Contained In the report is a table
showing "average realization, average
costs and average margin a thousand
feet of the KKnsas City group of
Southern Pine manufacturers for the
years 1915 to 1919, inclusive, and aver
age price and margin for May 1920
as compared with average costs for
the first three months of 1920."
This table shows that in 1915 the
realization was $1.09 below cost; that
in 1916, it was $1.98 above; in 1917
$6.42 above; 1918 $6.41 above; 1919
$8.94 above and in May 1920 $26.35
above . - -

In virtually every country of South
America and the Fur East imports
have fallen in the last few months and
money has become very hard to ob
tain, the department said.
Australia was reported to be await
ing lower prices before buying.
The Japanese financial condition is
most "unsatisfactory," Commercial At
tache James F. Abbott cabled from
Toklo. He predicted a severe drop In
the Japanese exchange rate and said
banks have tightened the money mar
ket by raising rates. Japan, he said,
finished the year with a large balance
of trade against her and there are
large stocks of unsold goods in ware
houses. The general stagnation, he
said, has brolight about a situation

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Acting
Secretary Davis denied today before
a senate committee that the state de
purtmeut hud brought any pressure
to bear on the Cuban government to
prevent the landing of the Western
Union fJarlmdoes cable, us had beun
charged earlier In the day by Presi
dent Carlton, of tho Western Union
eoinpany.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Charges
that the state department was "miik
ing threats against tho Cuban govern
ment," to prevent the Issuance of por
mlts for Western Union cable bindings
on the island were made before a sen
ate committeo today by Nowoomh
Carlton, president of tho Western Un
ion company.
Mr. Carlton declared tho depart
ment was "pursuing to the point of
persecution" Its differences with the
company over tho attempt to land tho
cable from Hurbudoes, which he said,
would establish a new lino of commu
nication with Swuth America.
Questioned 'mfto alleged supervision
by English authorities of official dis
patches sent from Washington to

In Great Britain Mr. Carlton refused
to "answer categorically because it
would mako trouble" The witness
said the state department had tho
facts and Senator Kellogg, chairman
of tho committee, asked Under Sec
retary Davis to uppear this afternoon.
Frederick Hoy Martin, acting gene
ral malinger of the Associated Press,
told the committee Hint any ilncrunsa
of communication, aid'liijes,. aided the
dissemination of American news.
"Tho 'Associated 'Press is furnishing
its nows reports, to Porto Itico, HaWr

imd, China. This is an unprofitable
field and we nre keeping It up for pa
triotic motives ot maintain tho connec
tion between tho United States and
its possessions."
South American renders, Mr. Mar
tin snid, desired news from tho Unit
ed States and tire only difficulty in
the service was tho lack of cable fa
cilities. Senator Kellogg asked if tho
government could usnlst news distil,
button.
"Only by facilitating private Inter
ests in extending cable facilities," Mr.
Martin replied. "Tho Associated Press
docs not want any government sub
sidy. Wo should llko to sec direct
cables to Italy and tho Scandinavian
countries. .
"Wo have had our troubles with
government censorship during the last
few years. I will say for our English
friends that their censorship Is no
narrower than our own. Only Inst
Saturday we found fhnt tho navy de

"It has been a keen disappoint

Tho charge was mado that B.
M. Jewell, president of tho railway
employes' department of tho Ameri
can Federation ot Labor.
Tho employes' louder charged that
the public had been defrauded "prob
ably in violation of crlmlnlul stat
utes," of millions of dollars through
cost-plus contracts with equipment
companies, "controlled by tho same
'banks that control tho railroads."
Ho said that rallroud control is ex
orcised by a group of 12 now York
hunks, trust companies nnd Insurance
companies "dominated by J. P. Mor
gun and company nnd that only 25
men are the instruments of this and
an oven wider control.
For Open Slion
Ho added that this same group of
bunks has interlocking directors with
2 0 ot tho leading cqulpmont con
corns and that 80 per cent of the
railroad mileage of the country Is un
der tho domination of this "Morgan
steel combine." '
One result ot steel contracts with
tho equipment concerns, he argued,
hnd beon to throw out of work moro
thnn 50,000 skilled railway em
ployes. He asesrted that this unem
ployment was "created deliberately
at a most inopportune time, causing
suffering and discontent Just when
public interest required tho utmost
confidence and harmony in tho rela
tions ibetween capital and lnbor."
Mr. Jowell asserted ' that "this
same combine has beon forcing tho
public to pay excessive prices In pay
ment of the costs In the open shop
campaign In the building industry of
New York." Ho charged that tho
allogod combine "Ib using this power
to force the public to pay for tho
nttempts of the combine to disrupt
the organizations of rallroud em
ployes." ,
nnllroudN Oppose Control.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10. Tho national
agreements 'between the railroads
and various clasBos of their omployes,
standardizing tho lattor's rules and
working conditions throughout the
nation, which were Instituted within
six months before tho end of federal
control, .should not. In tho Interests
of "honest, efficient and economical
management," lie continued longer,
undor private oporatlon, according
to contentions made by roprosbntn-'
lives of the railroads before the rait
road labor board hero today during
hearings on the demand of railroad
employes for the perpetuation of
these agreements.
"The only parties who are fully
qualified to consider such l-egula-tlons
are tho individual managements
nnd their employes," 13 T Whltlor,
chuirman of the' manager's commit
tee which Is presenting the carriers'
side of the controversy, testified.
Reasons Given
The reasons for tho carriers' op
position to the national agreements
were outlined by Mr. Whiter as fol
lows: 1 They are ultra restrictive and
therefore prevent the "honest, effi
cient and economical management
demanded by the transportation act.
2 Th variable conditions in dif
ferent sections of the country mako
the universal application of their
provisions Impracticable.--
3 The existing rules, the contin
uation of which is proposed by the
men, are capable of various con
structions. 4 The existing agreements pro
vide that the rules contained therein
shall apply to all employes of any
particular craft, regardless of the de
partment of the railroad in which the
man Ib employed, thus leading to a
division of jurisdiction and a con
flict In the working rules applicable
to employes engaged in the same
work.
5 Tho existing agreements havo
destroyed acknowledged efficient
and economical practices such as tho
piece work system for regulating
rates of pay.
6 The railroads must have relief
from' the rules controlling the em
ployment of men, which are ao re-
striotive as to prevent them from ob
taining a sufficient number of em
ployes in certain departments, thus
interfering with output and causing
delay to the movement of traffic.
7 Tho agrements contain many
rules which provide for payment for
work not performed and thereby
cause many millions of dollars of un
necessary expense annually. '
"The railroads do not object to
schedules (the technical term for
railway agreements) properly nego
tiated and entered Into with their
own employes." Mr. Wniter said, "as
Is evidenced by the fact that nearly
all, if not nil of the railroads repre
sented by this committee , have had,
schedules with the various train ser
vice organizations for many years.
Might Hour Basis 1 ' . 1
"Those roads which have 1een
working on the oight hour day basis,
will continue' to do so unless chang
ed by mutual agreement with their
employes, but they must hove the
right to re-establish more efficient
and economical practices.
"We rofer, among things, to piece
wo: It methods which were abolished. .
ThM notion has cost many millions
of toilers to the roads which had for
ye,ii3 successfully produced much of
tho! - output by the piecework moth--ods."
