about cqunlIy divided nmong tho manufacturers
and consumers of paper. There was mo-
mentary discussion In the Committee MS to which
side shouid begin tho Fight, Nr. Wood holding
TINT the rapor-manufactutcrs ought to coin-
mencc, md Kelley aud Frye TINT they
ought nrst to hcar tho case which ,s
sought to be mado against them. The Hon.
Ernstus brooks, Of tho Now York Erchi'I
Erprrax led OF tu an attack on tho wood-pulp
manufacturers, but ho stated In his opening
sentence that hc hlld no quRrrel with the duty
IN paper; he did not ask, either for himself or
for those he represented, for any reduction Of
tho tariff on paper, but only On the Waot'- pulp,
tho manufacture of which is controlled by d
.lo4cn individuals. This pulp forma from 80 to
75 per cent 0f tho material and the cost Of
PAPER, aud tho evident purpose OF tho Inv Of
lH10, which intended this matcrial to be on tho
FREQ list,
