Suit to End Lumber Trust Conspiracy in Sherman Case
Government charges a vast lumber price fixing and retailer control scheme in a major Sherman antitrust suit led by Attorney General Wickersham. Ten trade groups and over 140 individuals are named as defendants in Eastern States Retail Lumber Dealers' Association and related outfits. The action seeks a permanent injunction to end agreements that curb wholesale-to-consumer sales, affecting builders, manufacturers, and consumers nationwide. The Eastern States group covers five states plus district of Columbia, with New York and Philadelphia players among the named defendants.
