In reply TO the charges of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association regarding what they call the
illegal increase in the price OF paper G.. f. Under
wood, Of the International Paper Company said
Yesterday that the conditions of the paper trade
the higher prices necessary. The cost of

time. the cost of labor had increased 80 per cent
wood has advanced s. cord. and the cost of other
articles used in the manufacture OF paper increased
from 100 per cent. He added that economic
conditions alone had caused the advance in price.
and declared that few paper manufacturers were
making money under present conditions Mr.
Underwood said the main source of raw material
was in Canada. and that inasmuch the Canadian
government was considering levying an export duty
on paper products net much relief could be looked
for there. The only solution he declared. seemed
to he in a higher selling price of the newspapers.
