Of the many naval officers now serving in Mexican waters none is better known in Washington than Rear Admiral Cameron McRae Winslow, who has been asigned to the command of the Special Service Squadron. This squadron, which Includes the battle ships New York and Ttexas, the new Best and most powerful dread naughts in the world, Is to be used for blockading purposes, while the smaller vesels wll be particularly useful for inshore work. Admiral WlnBlow is one of the most popular officers In the navy. He is every inch a sailor, and be is known aat the handsomest flag of ficer in the service. He is noted as a navigator, and knows the Atlantic fleet beter perhaps than any officer in the navy, his service with the or ganization outdating that of any oth er flag officer now connected with it. Admiral Winslow was born in the District of Columbia, and entered the naval service Sept. 20, 1870, be ing appointed at large to the Naval Academy, at Annapolis. He is not a son of the late Rear Admiral John A. Winslow, as has been erroroneous ly stated, but a nephew of that well know officer who comanded the old Kearsage when she sank the Con federate mon-o war Alabama on the Frnch coast In the civil war. The first sea duty of Admiral Win slow after he graduated from the Annapolis Academy was in the big ship Tennessee on the Asiatic sta tion, 1875-7. Other vessels he serv ed In include the Constitution, Pe:i s ic.ih Iwifage, Alliance uixl Tc-m r t :!:.. i; 'Vi.K advanced several ntiiutcfs I if x;ar iordinary herois::i lri'itf 't war with Spain.

It was Adimral Winslow who sev eral years ago startled the Sandy Hook pilots and New York harbor tug captains by taking the battleship New Hampshire up to the Brooklyn navy yard without the assistance of a pilot.

Na tionwide price fixing in the lumber Industry has never ceased, declared Joseph E. Davies, Commissioner of Corporations oday in a report to Pres ident Wilson. Before 1906 price fixing was open hen it changed to more clandestine methods; first he publication of mar ket rporta or Prevailing Prices, and later, the employment of Basis lists and discount of "concession" sheets. Mr. Davie reported: "Price combinations among lum ber manufacturers have usualy ben effected thru aBoclati.n. There I no important region o proriu'Mon in which they do not niv. hi a.-.oi -atiou. Furthermore. . hv Un,-. .n i-sik -lion that is ':. i... in iR -'" l Hll whirh Is !,!" . ll !f M.riler of the lo .. .: Wh I ,me of th uvowi' ; pur poser. o ''" ar.oclatiiu ;.. niu !.:.! foster prit-. t . t ':n!Vi both to p in f .vv: The wholseale rplces of lumber have been higher because of the as sociated activities of lumbermen. "In the earlier years many of the associations openly attempted to cur tail the output and to fix the whole price of lumber, later, because of fear of the law, they disavowed any such purpose but the practices they professed to abandon were continu ed by subterfuge and indirection by the same groups of men who had formerly done them in the associa tions. "The National Lumber Manufact urers' Asssoclation has been active in its efforts to shape legislation. In 1909 it maintained an aggressive lobdy in Washington to defeat a re duction of the tariff on lumber. "From 1897 to 1907 there was a remarkable advance in lumber pric es. This advance ranged from 80 to 200 per cent, depnding upon the kind of wood and the grade of lum ber. While a large part of this ad vance was due to conditions of sup ply and demand and to general caus es that affected the prices of all com modities, a part of It was undoubted ly due to the concerted efforts of lumber manufactures. During this period, and since, the lumber man thru their associations as part of the official work, and instances of agree ments writen or oral to maintain uniformity a certain list, or to strict output, were common. "Since 1006 the method of com bining to fix prices have been shaped In some cases the price list which was formerly the basis of the agree ment was continued under such associations from reports sent to them. In other cases they were is sued nominally as a private business enterprise by some friendly printing firm, and purported to be complied by the printer. In both cases there Is evidence to show that the lists in question by whatever name called or by whomever published, served, and Intended to serve, the same purpose as ahe former official association lists; and that the determination of the prices printed in the later lists was the work of the same uroup of men who had previously openly de termined the prices of the official lists. This holds true when the mar ket reports or prevailing prices in turn were supplanted by a system of 15a si lists showing firtk-inusly high prices, which were Intended to be used in connection with discount or concession sheets. The basis lists were officially adopted Ky the associ ation. The discount or concession sheets were sometime compiled and I issued by the secretary from what information be could gather about 'market conditions, while at other times, they were issued by printing concerns or trade papers closely iden tified with the association. Here, in the case of the price lists, the dis count and ensequently the prices re ally Intended to be oberved by the members were determined by the same group of meu bo previously dtermlned the official prices. "The changes in the methods b wich these price activities have been carrid on since 1906 were admitted ly due to fuar of the enforcement of federal and state anti-trust laws. "The vidence clearly hows not only combination Intended to lu cres e the market price f lumber, but there is abundant evidence to war rant the conclusion that, as a result of attempts at artificial control, pric es have been higher than they would otherwise have been. Indeed this was asserted by officers of some as sociations prior to 1906 and used as an Inducement for their support and for Increasing their membership. "The National Lumber Manufac turers' Association has generally di rected its efforts toward those things that effect lumber producers in com mon. Some of its activities, such as erTori to secure Just and fair treat ment from the railroads with respect to freight rates and other matters, are undoubtedly proper. It actions inlaying its views from legislative bodies in an open and straightfor ward way may not be objectionable, but it has stopped there. When in 1909 ongress was revising the tariff I w this association was not content to present Its case in the form of proper argument. It resorted to po litical intrigues in Its attempts to in fluence Congress. It tried to pack committees; it attempted to secure the influence of Cabinet officers, fed eral and state forestry officials, and others high in authority; its chief representative In Washington freely wrote letters about the services he rendered to certain senators and cer tain representatives,' and pointed out that friends of a day of lumber trad ed with other friends of protected in terests; and officers of the associa tion claimed a large credit for the election of two United States senat ors, one of whom was subsequently unseated by the senate of the United States. "The problem is how shall asso ciations such as these be permitted to exercise functions that are legal and proper without perverting them Into instruments of wrong or ursurp Ing wrongful functions? It may be both proper and desirable for pro ducers in any line of business to es tablish standard grades, to collect and publish information as to out put and current prices, and to co operate in various proper ways for the common advantage; but it should be pointed out that the standardiza tion of grades is the first step of price fixing, that the collection of in formation as to output facilities th curtailment of production, and the cooperation for harmless purposes affords a convenient basis for com bination in restraint of trade. "These associations- are included in the so-called 'associations not for profit.-' It has been sometimes pro posed to exempt such associations from the prohibitions of the Sherman law. The serious consequences which might result from exempting them are obvious." IF WOMEN ONLY KNEW What a Heap of Happiness it Would firing to Alliance Home Hard to do housework with an aching back.
