 the Northern Lumbermen's Salesmanship Congress, which was to be held

 from their desks that it is impossible to shape up a proper program by 

 that date.

 of Buffalo lumbermen a clearer understanding was obtained as to the 

 intentions of the government as to lumber shipments. A hearing was given 

 by C. A. Prouty of the Railroad Administration, and Commissioner 

 De Grooty of the Car Service Department. The lumbermen were advised 

 that a committee will be appointed soon to look after the issuance of
