TO BREAK UP
PAPER TRUST
PROCEEDINGS BEGUN in THE
UNITED STATES COURT IN
ST. PAUL.
INJUNCTION is ASKED FOL
TO PREVENT GENERAL PAPER
COMPANY FROM CONTROLLING
THE TRADE.

begun yesterday in the United States
circuit court for the district of Mime
sofa for the dissolution Of the paper
manufacturers trust, which since 1900
has fixed prices and controlled the
output of paper in Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Montana, Utah, Colorado,
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and other
states west of the Mississippi river.
The proceedings were brought in the
name of the United States as COM
plainant by William H. Moody, attor-
ney general, and Frank b. Kellogg of
st. Paul and James M. Beck of Phila-
delphia, special assistant attorneys of
the United States.
Mr.. Kellogg and Charles c. Houpt,
United States attorney for the district
of Minnesota, applied to Judge Loeb
rem yesterday and secured an order
for service of process outside the dis
trict. The case will be heard in St.
Paul, either before Judge Lochren or
the circuit court of appeals.
The DEFENDANTS.
The defendants are the General Pa
per company, corporation organized
in 1900 under the laws of Wisconsin
to act as sales agent for and to regu-
late the output Of twenty-three North
western manufacturers the Manufac-
turers' Paper Company of Chicago as
sales agent of number of Eastern
manufacturers, and the twenty three
Northwestern manufacturers. Nine
teen of the Northwestern companies
are located in Wisconsin. three are
located in Minnesota and one is loca-
ted in Michigan.
The proceedings started yesterday
are in equity and are brought under
the Sherman act prohibiting combina-
lions in restraint of trade. They are
similar to the proceedings brought by
the government against the Northern
Securities company. James M. Beck,
one of the special assistant attorneys,
was associated with Attorney General
Knox in the Securities case and par
ticipated in the argument before the
circuit court of appeals.
TO End the Trust.
The petition of the attorney general
asks that the Caneral Paper company
be enjoined from acting as the sales
agent and fixing the prices at which
news print, malta. fiber and other pa
per shall be sold, the persons, corpora
ations and newspapers to 9hich it
shall be sold, and into what states it
shall be shipped and sold.
The court is asked to enjoin and re-
strain the manufacturers from contin-
uing their arrangement with the Gen
eral Paper company, from making that
company their exclusive sales agent,
from authorizing the company to re-
strict the output, fix prices and terms
Of sale, and from directing the per-
sons. coTporaIlons or newspapers 10
which paper shall be sold.
"A restraining order 7 is also asked
pending the determination of the suit.

Redskins Say Federal Employees Are
Interested in logging.
Ashland, Wis, Dec. 2S.The Indians
Of the Bad river reservation, twelve
miles southeast Of Ashland, have been
holding councils almost daily for. a
week for the purpose Of formulating a
plan for bringing to the attention of
the department at Washington many
alleged abuses Of which the Odanah
Indians have complained for the last
ten years. The principal grievance
which the Indians desire to lay before
the department. is the proofs they say
they have of the existence of financial
relations between government officials
in the Indian Office at Ashland and a
lumber company which has the gov
eminent contract for cutting the pine
on the Bad river reservation.

Tells of Personal inspection of tn,

Chief Mine Inspector j. M. Gray has
forwarded a report of a personal inspec-
ton of Flat Top mines to Judge ]. M.
Carmichael, president of the convict bu-
reau of the state, showing the condition
at the convict mines to- be excellent. The
report shows that the convicts are get
ting out large amount of coal.
A portion of the report is as follows:
1.-The officials of the company tell me
that they broke all previous records
there last month on coal production.
was very proud to hear this, owing
to the fact that the system of shooting
ago and it has not only increased the
production per man, but has made the
condition of the mine better. and | be-
live will reduce the number of accidents
from falling rock and coal, and be-
yond the question of a doubt it has re-
moved the liability of magazine explo-
sion.
"The bottom entries are being driv-
en- narrow and eye holes four feet by
ten feet by twenty feet cut in the pill
lars to store the rock. This makes the
entries look very clean and neat, II also
lessons the labor of the convicts as they
only have to build a wall four feet high
whereas by the old system they had to
pile it up six to eight feet high and this
was very hard work to lift or pitch a
heavy piece of rock so high The mine
at present is damp and there is no dust
in 1t to amount to anything and there
is but little infammable gas being given
off.
"At the mine they have vary strict and
exacting discipline among the men con-
corning shooting and handing Of the
powder and dynamite The managers in
and at the mine as well as the higher
officials of the state and company. are
very prompt in carving out orders from
this department and justly deserve the
credit due them for the excellent condi-
ton of the mine"
