There Is much desire that II. +. Ay-

Washington. April 12.-The manufac-
ture Of news print paper of the country
was the subject of inquiry on the part
of the industrial commission today
John Norris. business manager of Thu
New York Times, being the witness
Mr.. Norris devoted his attention es.
pecially to the International Paper Com
pany.
Il will assert" he said, that the In
ternational Paper Company has failed
in every expectation it held out to the
newspapers n to the public. The cost
of manufacture is greater under con-
h under individual own
ership of the paper mills. The eco
nomics which were to be obtained I'M
der the consolidated management have
not been realized. The export trade has
fallen off or at least has not increased.
though that was to be the strong fea-
ture of the consolidated company's Ell
forts.
The promised policy of an enlight-
ened ~self-interes has been abandoned.
and the net result to newspaper pub
fishers a been an increase of over $4,-
SOO,O 900 per annum in the cost of news
print paper"
Mr.. Norris placed the enhancement of
the cost price of producing paper at So
per ton He knew of two spa
which were paying an increase of $780,
900 each annually on the paper used by
them.
Mr.. Norris attributed the recent in
crease in the price of paper to four
causes, namely: To the Spanish-Ameri-
a war, the South African w the
drouth Of 1899 and 1900 and the attempt
of the International Company to mo-
nOpoliZe the spruce land. To meet the
last difficulty he suggested that trade
relations with Canada should be pro-
NOTED. in order that the practically in
eXhaustible pulp supply of that coun-
try might be drawn upon we
should" he said, adopt the plan which
President Mckinley had advocated Of
remitting those taxes which experience
has shown to be burdensome to the in
dustries of the people,
He asserted that the international
Company had opposed Canadian re-
ciprocity and that the result had been
Canadian reprisals. He advocated the
removal of the tariff on wood pulp as in
the interest of all classes. He said
there recently had been an effort to re-
unite the outside eastern mills in a
scheme TO maintain prices. Willis
there is no evidence of cOlluSiOn,' he
said, publishers realize in some en-
tangible way that the source of their
supply has been predetermined for
them and that the price they are to pay
has been ~pre-arranged."
There were. he said, more violent
fluctuations in the price of paper than
prior to the consolidation and some
newspaper publishers pay more for in
ferior paper than others pay for good
DaDer.

Industrial Depression in Germany

Berlin. April ia recent article il
The Berlin Tageblatt takes a gloomy
view OF the industrial conditions in
Germany, which it says are so bad that
the efforts of the charitable are power
less to cope with the situation. Re-

dismissal of working people are so gen
