THE WHITE PAPER POOL.
Doubtful u Another Attempt Will Be Made to
Effect Its Organization.

New York, Jan. 14.-An evening pa
Der says: The failure of the negotia-
tons long pending between the man
ufacturers Of white paper used by
newspapers to organize a pool to pre-
vent Improbable compitition. as an
nounced. Tuesday. appears to have re-
suited mainly from the rivalry between
certain New England concerns and the
unwillingness of certain interests to
allow other companies representa-
ton in the pool upon the basis OF
future production.
The Boston meeting, last week, was
not as representative a gathering as
the conference held in this city. last
month. and it soon became evident
that the contending factions could not
be reconciled as long as the companies
contemplating the construction of ad-
ditional mills did not receive what they
considered sufficient scope.
One of the parties to the recent nego-
tiation said. Wednesday. that it was
unlikely that another effort would be
made to bring the companies together
on the same basis at once, although
most of the manufacturers expected
the ultimate adoption of some form Of
agreement.
