Mr. C. H. Callahan, secretary of the 

 Louisville Lumbermen's Club, has just re- 

 turned from St. Louis where he attended 

 the convention of the Interstate Commerce 

 Law Association, which met in the Fair 

 City, October 28, and took steps to bring 

 before Congress a bill providing for the 

 extension of the powers of the Interstate 

 Commerce Commission, which shall make

 best of any meeting he has ever attended 

 in the interest of the lumbermen, and

ably result in the desired result. Lum- 

 bermen, particularly, are interested in 

 this matter and were largely represented
