Harbor District Lumber Ags'n and Lumber Firms Enter Consent Decree

Federal Judge Harry Hollzer at Los Angeles on February 14 accepted nolo contendere pleas in the Harbor District Lumber Dealers' Association case wherein the Association, eleven companies and eighteen individuals were charged with violating the anti-trust laws. The harbor district area comprises Long Beach, Wilmington and San Pedro. The indictment was returned last March 15. Attorney Byron C. Hanna of Los Angeles represented the defendants.

The defendants all signed a consent decree under which they consented to the decree of the court injunction which enjoins them from "fixing and maintaining prices for lumber and lumber products in the harbor district area and from engaging in other practices tending to suppress and eliminate competition."

On the recommendation of Alfred Carr Ackerson, special assistant to the Attorney General, Judge Hollzer, fined the Harbor District Lumber Dealers' Association $5000. Fines of $100O each were levied against the Consolidated Lumber Co., Hammond Lumber Co., Patte4-Blinn Lumber Co., San Pedro Lumber Co., and E. K. Wood Lumber Co.

The court fined the Bear State Lumber Co., Lumber Supply Co., Rossman Lumber & Mill Co., Ltd., and Century Lumber Co., $1m0 each, but suspended the sentences and placed the concerns under one year's probation.

Two other companies, the Long Beach Lumber Co. and Martin Lumber & Supply Co., Inc., were placed on probation for one year.

Eighteen individuals, mostly Association officers and company officials, were placed on probation for a year. The Association officers were Ralph D. Ebright, president; Fred Kilstofte, vice-president, and George N. Swartz, secretarytreasurer. The other members receiving probation were Burton W. Chase, H. L. CaJl, A. E. Fickling, Richard Goehring, J. M. Gray, Ross Hall, C. S. Jones, Fred R. Linn, Raymond Linn, A. J. Macmillan, Joseph C. Martin, Paul Maull, E. J. Rossman and George A. Swift. The case against Norman R. Lambert was dismissed.
