ney Haupt and Frank b. Kellogg and
James NJ. Beck, special assistant attor,
neys general of the United States, late
yesterday filed a petition in the United
States districtycourt, in which he makes
the General Paper company the prin'
cipal defendant and twenty-five other
paper companies throughout the states
of Wisconsin and Michigan party de,
PENDANTS in a suit to enj0in them and
restrain them from doing business
through the General Paper company as
the sales agent in violation of the pro;
visions of sections one aud two of the
act Of congress approved July ?. en-
titled IAN act to protect trade and com.
merce against unlawful restraints and
mon0polies."
The petition Alleges that the defend
ants entered into an agreement to com,
bine and control the sale of the product
of the different companies through the
General Paper company in that the
General Paper company regulated
prices, sales and shipment and territory
for the sale of the same and after de-
Quoting operating expenses of the Cen
eral Paper company divided the surplus
among the members of the corporation.
The petition recites that the General
Paper company was organized under
the laws of Wisconsin. May 26, 1900,
| with a capital stock of 500, 900, divid-
ed into 1000 shares, which were dis

put of the various mills, fix the price
| of all paper sold and to whom and upon
| what terms and conditions the paper
should be sold and into what states
and places it shall be shipped and what
publishers and other customers each
mill shall supply.
The petition alleges that in conse-

trlbution of paper had been restricted
and the price of all paper products
greatly increased. particularly that. of
news print paper, which has been in
creased about 80 per cent.
The court is asked to declare the al
legged combination unlawful and that
the defendants be perpetually e~njoincd
from doing any act in pursuance of the
same.
Attorney General Moody at Washing
ton last night gave out the following
official statement regarding the suit:
ION the complaint Of many newspa-
pers last spring that a combination in
%restraint of existed among
manufacturers of paper TO control the
