THE PAPER TRUST.
1t Has Increased the Cost to Pub
fishers $4,OOO,O0O

Washington, April 12-The
manufacture of news printing pa
per Of the country was the subject
of inquiry on the part of the in
duStrial commission today, john
Norris, business manager OF the
New York Times, being the wit
ness. Mr.. Norris devoted his at
tention especially to the Intrrna-
tional Paper company
II will assert" he said, THAT
the international Paper company
has failed in every expectation it
held ont to the newspapers and to
the public. The cost of manufac
ture is greater under consolidation
than under individual ownership
OF the paper mills. The economies
which were to be obtained under
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 feature OF the conSOli-
dated companies effort. The prom
ised policy of an enlightened self
interest has been abandoned and
the net result to newspapers pub
fishers has been an increase of
over 81 ,000,00 per annum, in the
cost Of the news printing paper"
He placed the output of news
print paper at 500, 900, 900 per year.
