mills. He added that within twe4e
months the International will contro
the print paper market of the United
States. To do this the company will
expend from $30 10000, 900 to $4,000,
600 in buying up the plants in the Mid

Hanrahan at the Helm.
To John G.. Hanrahan of New York
who successfully engineered the merg
ing the twenty-five mills in the Ameri
can Writing company and the thirty
two mills IN the International Paper
company, belongs the credit for the
| Western merger.
The manufacturer puts himself or
record as stating that the price OF
print paper will advance to A cents tc
the jobber and 6 cents to the small
buyer within two years.
When the General Paper company
was dissolved by Judge Sanborn OF
the United States court of appeals at
st. Paul on June 16, 1906, the state,
ment was openly made by members OF
the alleged trust that the press of the
country, which had fought the social,
ed trust, would regret it. This time of
regret is said to be in the near future,
when the impending deal will have
been consummated and the Interna.
tional, which will then control the
print paper market of the United
| States, will be able to arbitrarily fix
its own prices.
Dodge Antitrust Law.
There are se~venty-eight print paper
mills in the United States, and the alb
sorption Of the mills of the Middle
West by the International, in addition
to its present great holdings in the
East, will give it the control of over
two-thirds of the print paper plants in
the country, and the consumer will
pay the fiddler.
The merger, it is said, will be con.
Quoted on the same lines as the Inter,
national, SO as not to conflict with the
antitrust laws and meet the fate OF
the General Paper company. Practi
cally the only competition it will have
will be the Great Northern Paper com
pany, which manufactures only a
small fraction of the print paper used
in the country.
