Crack Down on Lumber Firms Across West Coast
San Francisco reports the Office of Price Administration filed nine million dollars in treble damage suits against forty lumber concerns and contractors in four states. The action targets alleged rackets in milling, transit, and pricing, naming Pacific Lumber Manufacturing of Des Moines, with three million seventy five thousand dollars in damages, and listing executives Cramer and McEwen.
