sr. LOUIS 



Lumliermen o<eupied the stand during the second day of the inquiry 

 into building material prices being conducted by the state of Missouri at 

 Jefferson City. The hearing was starteii Tuesday. May 18. brick maun 

 facturers being the first to testify. 



.\. Boeckler. president of the Boeckler Lumber Company, testified that 

 members of the St. Louis Lumber Trade Exchange are required under 

 penalty of tine to figure a definite and uniform "service charge" in making 

 bids. This method was adopted in 1914. 



R. S. Hoxie. manager of the exchange, said the manner of arriving a I 

 the sen-ice char,ge was for accountants to visit each firm which is a mem 

 ber of the exchange, get from its books the exact cost of handling lund)er, 

 which includes taking of lumber from cars, piling it in yards, etc. The ten 

 firms shown by the figures to be the most efficient are then separated and 

 au average of the cost of these ten is taken. That gives the uniform 

 service charge which all raemliers of the exchange are required to figure In 

 prices for lumber. 



Assistant Attorney General Otis attempted unsuccessfully to get Hoxie 

 to admit that the exchange fixes prices at least to the extent the service 

 charge figured in the sale pri<e of lumber. 



The Lumbermen's Exchange bulletin for May 18 contains a warning In 

 members to look out for fire in yards. Some fires have occurred recently 

 in a couple of the yards and a man is under arrest who is thought to be

In examining the piles in a yard recently oiled waste was found stickinu 

 in an opening.

An arrt'hit was mnde recently on a charge of trespass against Ernesi 

 Boyer, aii allp-ged private detective, who is said to have installed a dictn 

 phone ill the home of Otto Burrows, 025 Spring street, a former employ<' 

 of the Talge Mahogany Company. Burrows was injured while in thi- 

 employ of the Taige company in 191G and suit was filed against the com 

 pany from which he received judgment of $4,500. This was carried to the 

 supreme court, where the decision was reversed and another suit was 

 filed. The police believe Boyer was endeavoring to obtain evidence against 

 Burrows to be used in the suit and for that reason installed the diclti- 

 phone in Burrows' home on a pretext that he was an employe of the tele- 

 phone company and had come to take wiring out of the house. The wire.-. 

 were connected tu sonic other wires placed in a nearby shed.
