 ning May 1 of the present year. He was to deliver 600,000 feet of lumber

Hardwood men are somewhat elated over the action of President Wilson 

 in directing that the secretary of the treasury pay to the railroads all 

 approved guarantees instead of waiting until all the roads have in their 

 claims. This indefinite time has been the cause of many lines holding up 

 repair work which would have called for considerable quantities of hard- 

 wood timbers, and has also served the railroads as an excuse for not set- 

 tling bills. At present prices manufacturers contend that their only 

 object in selling is in order to get in some ready cash, and when bills are 

 not paid promptly the situation is only aggravated instead of being im- 

 proved.
