The president Of the American /
Newspaper Publishers association,
Herman Ridder, has Just issued a
bulletin To the members OF that as.
ISOLATION who include practically alli
the prominent publishers In the Unit.
ed States, Ills bulletin does not
carry nut the happy promise OF the
republican congressional committee.
He asserts that during January the
paper mills have not been running

usual time, 1.-THE international Pa.

pierceheId and iierkimer had been
shut down In 1907.
This Is how a trust helps cause
Of labor, though IL insists on main

hr. Ridder goes on To say "Canadi-
an mills are pushing their capacity
TO the utmost aud are undersellipg
American mills In United States
market, notwithstanding the duty Of
~ per ton against the Canadian
mills. -
But the argument with which the
republicans In congress are holding
up and ridiculing the various bills
for free paper and free pulp Is that
the abolition OF the tarifr would not
reduce the price OF paper. II CANADA
mills can pay duty OF o. ton and
still undersell the paper trust, what
would happen 10 the trust II that
duty we're taken OH altogether
Mr.. Bidder concludes with this
paragraph: The effort TO maintain
excessive wewspriDt prices Is contin'
ued In the face OF considerable 1e'
cilnes in the price OF raw materials.
The program thus far Indicated pro
