The Publishers Want Investigation OF
Paper Manufacturers.

NEW YORK, September 19.-At a special
meeting here yesterday the American
Newspaper Publishers Association in
structed the committee on paper to bring
to the attention Of the President and the
Department of Justice information con-
corning an alleged unlawful combine of
paper manufacturers that has resulted, it
was claimed in an artificial stimulation
OF prices In newspaper stock. The associa-
ton also went on record as in favor of
the immediate repeal of the tariff on print
ing paper and wood pulp imported from
Canada. This sentiment was expressed in
resolutions which further provided for an
assessment upon the members to defray the
expense incurred by the association in as
sisting the government In any prosecution
of combine that may be undertaken.
The adoption of the resolution followed
several hours discussion Of a report SUBJ
mftted by Don G. SeitZ Of the New York
World, John Norris of the New York
Times and Condo Hamlin. formerly of the
st. Paul Pioneer-Press who constitute the
committee on paper

meeting that the duty on printing paper,
wood pulp and all material entering into
the manufacture Of printing paper be i'm
lately repealed"

ing for Its continuance and that of other

ENGLISH LABOR SITUATION.
&C, 900 Members Of Boilermakers' So
ciety to Be Locked Out.

LONDON. September 19.-Between 40 900
and $4,000 members of the Bolermakers' So
ciety will be locked out October g. Notices
to that effect were posted yesterday by the
Shipbuilders' Federation. The men affected
are employed chiefly at the east coast ports,
at Barrow and on the Clyde.
Some time ago lockout notices were is
sued because of a number of sectional
strikes in which the men left work with
out giving notice and without discussion of
their grievances. These notices. however,
were withdrawn and what is known as the
Edinburgh agreement" was entered into.
Under this the representatives of the men
stipulated that such annoying strikes would
be avoided in the future. The society re-
pudiated the action of its representatives,
and the federation is now determined to
fight the men to finish.
The chief grievance of the employers is
that the executive committee of the Boiler
makers Society has no real power and can
not force the men to observe any agree
ment which may be adopted.
