New York filed a general demurrer. The answer made by the General Paper Company and it's twenty-three code fendants denies most of the allegations made by the United States.
 The twenty-three companies and the general company admit, however. that an agreement was entered into in May 1900 under which the General Paper Company was appointed exclusive sales agent for the other mills for a specific period. The contract was to the ef- feet that the General Paper Company should use its best efforts to keep the various mills in the agreement supplied with orders at the best reasonably obtained prices.
 It is denied. however, that the Gen eral Paper Company had any authori- ty to arbitrarily dictate the price at which paper should be sold. or restrict the output of any of the mills.
 All contracts for sales secured by the General Paper Company for any of the mills signing the agreement were subject. it Is claimed, to the ap- proval of the individual mills concern ed.
