PUBLISHERS ON THE STAND
Northwestern Men Tell of Eject of
Alleged Trust On Their
Business.

ST PAUL, July 25.--In the hearing of
the investigation of the business methods
of the General Paper company before Spe-
cial Examiner Taylor, appointed by the
United States court, today A. c. Weiss,
general manager of the Duluth Evening
Herald Mr.. Conde Hamlin of the St Paul
Pioneer-P Press. and w. J. Murphy, pub
Usher OF the Minneapolis Tribune, testified
that their experience had been strenuous
since the formation of the General Paper
company. All questions asked of the wit
nesses were objected to by the defense. Mr..
Weiss testified to his despair of ever being
able to do business with the General Paper
company on an equitable basis He said
that prior to the organization of the de-
fendant company there had been competi-
ton between the paper companies of the
northwest, but since that time there had
been no competition. Mr.. Hamlin was
asked If he was aware that there were
paper mills operating in the northwest in
dependently of the General Paper company.
He said he was, but that freight conditions
or other considerations made the small
mills unavailable sources of supply.
II developed later that the small inde-
pendent mills were not of a sufficient ca
paclty to afford security for a full supply to
any publishing company.
Mr.. Murphy's testimony was along the
same lines of the other witnesses.
At the afternoon session Lucien Swift
of the Minneapolis Journal, and Geo. &c
Thompson of the st. Paul Dispatch, testi-
fled that the cost of paper to them had in.
creased from q to 50 per cent since the
organization of the General Papar COM
pany.
The investigation closed late in the after,
noon when an adjournment was taker
