In a recent issue OF the Milwaukee
Free Press, appeared an article ex
planatory Of the method OF the
General Paper Company of Chicago in
acting as selling agency for twenty
four paper manufacturing companies
including the local mills at this point
We append the article in full, as
follows.
Is the General Paper company OF

it's operations are in restraint of trade:
This is a question which Attorney
General Sturdevant is trying to solve
from the answers filed by this corpora.
tion to the inquiries instituted by him
under section 1791K of the statutes.
The attorney general on Jan. "a now
more than three months ago, sent a
list Of fifty-six questions to the
president and secretary of the General
Paper company. Today he received
the answers. The questions sought
to establish the conditions under
which the corporation operates, Its
relations to the paper mills, the out
put of which is sold through this
company, whether it fixed the price OF
paper, how the price was fixed,
whether there was any competition
between any Of the mills the output
Of which were sold by the General
Paper company, and whether there is
any competition between the General
Paper company and any other similar
selling agency.
Selling Agency and Sole Agent.
According to the answers filed today
with the attorney general, the General
Paper company is merely a selling
agency for twenty-four paper mills of
Wisconsin and Minnesota. But it is
the sole agent for certain grades of
paper named in each seperate agree
ment with the various mills. All of
this grade issold by the General Paper
company; other grades may be sold
direct to customers by the mills.
The price is fixed by the General
Paper company according to market
conditions, though any mill may reject
or accept any order sent to it by the
General Paper company. There is no
competition between 1.-THE General
Paper company and the various mills
of Wisconsin and Minnesota, the out
put of which is sold or marketed
through the General Paper company,
There is no agreement between the
General Paper company and any other
company doing a similar business,
that Of merely marketing paper or
selling the output Of individuals mills.
Answers to some OF the questions
are:

April, q, 1905.
PRINCIPAL FL. S. YoUKER,
Grand Rapids, Wis.
My dear sir: At the last meeting
of the Board of University Relations
it was voted to place your high school
upon our list of schools cooperating
with the University of Chicago. ]
would like to explain that this
means not only that graduates OF
your high school bringing to us
certificates signed by the principal
and teachers will be admitted without
entrance examinations, but further:
y That you have the privilege of
nominating candidate for scholar
ship in the University from each of
your graduating classes; p that you
and your teachers are members of
the Annual Educational Conference
held at the University; 81 that you
have the privilege of sending two
representatives of your school, one
boy and one girl, to compete in the
Annual Defamation contest at the
university, the prize being a scholar
ship covering the tuition fees in the
university for one year; A that you
have the privilege of sending candi-
dates to take part in the prize ex-
aminations in Latin, Greek, Mathe-
matics and English, the prize being
scholarship covering the tuition
fees for one year; s. that the members
of your teaching staff will have the
privilege of one-half tuition rates
during the coming quarter; 6) that
you will be entitled to receive many
of the publications of the university.
/ ought to say in explanation of my
paragraph in regard to your nominat-
ing candidate for a scholarship that
at present the university has for this
purpose only twenty-five such scholar
ships. Or course the number of
schools in relation with US exceeds
that. Nominations for scholarships
are submitted to committee and
those that are available are assigned
to the nominee who seems on the
whole best recommended.
We are confident that the relation
now established between your high
school and the university will be of
mutual advantage. We shall be very
glad to see you or any members of
your staff at the university at any
time, and of course we sincerely hope
that the representatives of your
graduating classes will be found en-
rolled as students at the university.
Sincerely yours,
