THE PAPER TRUST.

me following resolutions were

American Newspaper Publishers Asso-
cation held III New York February

Whereas, The price of nrintinr
paper used by newspapers In The
United states has been arbitrarily in
creased in price from sixty to one hun
drcd per cent. without reason or war
rant TO be found in the conditions of
the industry itself, and
Whereas. II is the common belief
mat ms increase is due TO the working
of a trust: o
Therefore, BE it
Resolved. That the American News
paper Publishers Association. ron
rescnting in this case not ONLY its own
members but the $4,000 newspapers of
the United States. calls upon Congress-
To make inquiry by means of n specioI
described. to the end that suitable
Legislation may be provided to remedy
ms condition of affairs in the interest
OF the best source of public information
provided for the people, to wit: The.
newspaper press, whose interest the
founders of the Republic held in the
highest regard
The attention Of Congress is directed
To i've bills now in the hands of the
Ways and Means Committee. not nc
cessarily 10 aid the passage of any of
them specifically but as evidence OF n
great demand for some form of remc-
dial legislation, TO which the inquiry wc
request would be preliminary. We he
lievc that the entire agitation against
trusts presents no more concrete OK
ample than this, and your petitioners
relying upon the desire OF Congress to
leSislate in the interests of the Deople
believe you will accept the opportu-
nifty to make this inquiry in the spirit
In which it is demanded
The newspaper, it is fair to state.
unlike most forms of industry, sells at
fixed price. and has no means OF
putting the increased cost on the con-
sumner. In many instances it means
tho complete confscation OF profits
and in many others creates an actual
loss.
The apparently sincere desire of all
parties to deal with the trust question
removes this inquiry from the charge
of partisanship. and makes it what it
Is intended be, an inquiry in the pub
Tic interest.
