Rurprlsod his frlonds In Louisville by gottlnp marrk'd without previous an- 

 nouncement. The bride was Miss Martha .\nne Dowling of New Orleans, 

 where the wedding took place January 20. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Norman 

 of I.,ouisville, parents of the bridegroom, were among those present. They 

 have started houselteeping at 8011 Hickory avenue in New Orleans. The 

 hardwood men of Louisville have sent Mr. Norman their heartiest con- 

 gratulations. 



The Louisville Hardwood Club recently considered a resolution to en- 

 dorse the request of the railways for a five per cent horizontal advance, 

 but no action was taken on it other than reference to a committee. The 

 reason for this was that the local hardwood men are now backing a com- 

 plaint to the Interstate t'ommerce Commission against such an advance 

 In Southern territory, and it was felt that a resolution of the kind indi- 

 cated would be prejudicial to the interests of the petitioners. 



I..umberraen have had to keep their eyes open wide to continue posted 

 on the legislative situation at Frankfort, all kinds of bills affecting the 

 industrial situation having been introduced. The workmen's compensa- 

 tion situation is complicated, the coal operators and the labor unions having 

 .loined forces, apparently, for the purpose of getting a state insurance fea- 

 ture Into the bill which is finally passed, while the manufacturers at large, 

 i-eprcsented by the Kentucky Manufacturers' and Shippers' Association, 

 are opposed to state insurance, and also have proposed a schedule of com- 

 pensation which, while up to the average of those provided In other states, 

 is not as high as the labor bill provides. It is almost certain that a com- 

 pensation measure of some kind, affecting every lumberman in the state, 

 will he put through before the end of the session next month. IThe Finn 

 bill, providing for an extension of the powers of the railroad commission, 

 seems doomed to defeat, many commercial organizations having gone on 

 record as being opposed to it. The Glenn bill, which would give the state 

 lire insurance board absolute power over rates, and would almost cer- 

 tainly drive the fire underwriters out of the state, is also opposed by the 

 business interests generally. 



The Louisville Veneer Mill is developing its lumber business rapidly. It 

 is planning to enlarge its sawmill, and will carry a larger stock of lumber 

 on its yard. Gus Smith is lumber buyer for the concern and H. E. Kline 

 is superintendent of the mill. The company recently sold 50,000 feet of 

 red gum to the City Mill & Lumber Company of Louisville for use on the 

 I'uritan apartment building, one of the largest structures of the kind put 

 up in Louisville.
