Local Lumber Bids Too High Cause
Of Reclamation Buying At Portland
Owing to tho fact that Klamath
Falls has a considerable lumber In
dustry and that the reclamation serv
ice of the United States government
recently made a large purchase of
lumber from & house In tho Rose City
some local people have been Inclined
to question tho propriety of the deal.
Tho purchase, aggregating nearly a
half million feet of lumber, filling
nearly a score of freight cars, was
needed for construction work In the
second unit on which work Is to be
done the approaching season.
The following letter from Project
Engineer W. W. Patch explains the
reason for the purchase being nisde
at Portland, In a way which Is aimed
to disarm tho critics:
Evening Herald, Klamath Falls, Ore.
"Gentlemen gome Interest has
been aroused In view of tho tact that
tho reclamation service awarded a
largo contract for lumber to n Port
land Ira. Tho facts In the cast are
follews:
"This Umber was purchased under
comeptltlve bids for fourteen dsys,
and the bids were sent to thirty-two
different trms of lumber dealers. In

PROFITS FABULOUS
STANLEY COMMITTEE'S EXPERT
FINDS THAT CORPORATION OP.
KHATKS IN RESTRAINT OF
TRADE
United Press Borneo
WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 29.
That the social functions known ns
"Gary dinners" control absolutely
the prices In the steel Industry and
that the United States steel corpora
tion Is operated In restraint of trade
through this price control and Its
domination of raw material, was the ,
conclusion reported to the Biaolov
House Steel Investigating con::alttet
today by Farquhar J. Mae!'..?, tr.s
committee's expert accouatai:'
MacRae'a report was tho rusult uf
a detailed examination of tho books
of the steel trust, made while tho rec
ords were under subpoena by tho com
mittee. In several particulars the
report contradicts testimony given by
officials of the trust before the com
mittee. Tho Gary dinners, tho report
says, operated to maintain prices and
exclude competition.
"The arrangement Is designed and
Intended so to operate," It continues,
"and It does so operate, to steel rails,
slthough It Is claimed that the so-
called Independent companies can cut
prices without fear of penalty except
the dishonor of declaring In favor of a
named price and then selling at soma
other price."
At the Gary dinners, represents
fives of tho stool corporation nad In
Isnsndsnt tosvesrns asset sad agree
'to reduce their soodootton eooJOrta.
ahly to tmelr-eatla&ato of tho demand
existing." '
It can be no justification of the
co-operation of the participants In the
Gary dinners that no penalty attache,
to a violation of the declarations mu
tually exchanged," the report com
mented, "because, perforce, the anti
trust act would prevent the enforce
ment of any penalty for reducing
prices or exceeding ono share, of the
business."
The report drew the conclusion
that the Gary dinner agreements were
In reality Just as binding on steel
manufacturers as the pool agreements
of the old days, which were legislat
ed sgslnst In the Sherman act.
A fabulous profit was made out of
the formation of the steel trust by J.
P. Morgan ft Co., which framed the
combination, the report says, the
steel trust books show. A total of
t,300.000 was paid the Morgan
(Continued on Pag 4)
whatever. Tho proposals received for
the total amount of lumber, aggre
gating 460,000 feet, b. m were as
follews:
Bid No. 1 $4,448.00
Bid No. 3 4,411.00
Bid No. S 4.500.00
Bid No. 4 4,514.00
Bid No. 5 . . . 4,541.00
Bid No. 4 4,410.00
Bid No. T 4.451.00
Bid No. 8 4,441.00

Bid No. 10 4.880.00
Bid No. 11 4,074.00
Bid No. IS 4,007.00
Bid No. 13 5,600.00
Bid No. 14 ... 4,778.00
"The last two bids listed are from
local Arms, and owing to the fact that
freight ratea on government ship
ments of lumber are extremely low
from the vicinity of Portland, belag
tn the neighborhood of 11.15 per
thousand feet, It will bo seen that of
the fourteen bids received there wan
only ono which waa not lower than
the bids of tho two local ffrnw, after
miking due allowance for freight.
"Under thoso conditions should It
bo considered strange that tho-son-tract
waa not awarded ta local deal
ers? Respectfully, ., ;
