Winslow Come, of Fighting Stock
Washington, D. C, May 2. 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

j?paln. The cuting of the cabba wis
acomplished in the face of a ten Hi :
n.re from the Spaniards on shore,
and by many has been termed the
bravest act of the war. Leut. Win
slow was the n In command of th
gunboat Nashville, and the work of
cutting the rallies was directed from
a launch. For three hours Winslow
and bis men worked over the wries
while the bullets whizzed by their
heads. Winslow was shot in the
band n that exploit, but he continued
in command of the Nashville.
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. While holding the rank ri
commander and in command of 'ae
Charleston he made a crulst from
York arond the coast of South Amer
ica with Secretary of State Rooto as
a passenger. Refore being assigned
to the Charleston Commander Win
slow whs on duty In the Bureau of
Navigation, and severd as naval aid

first oflicer to command the torpedo
boat Cusb'iig. on e of the first ves
fels of this type in the navy.

Washington. D. C, April 30. 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.

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."
