ANNUAL MEETING.
Asks Immediate Relief From Exac-

Wood Pulp and Print Paper Put
on Free List-Census Bureaus
Figures Said to Be Misleading.

New York, April 21.-The following
address was adopted at the annual
meeting of the Associated Press to-
day:
Representatives of the TIA daily
newspapers gathered at the annual
meeting of the Associated Press re-
spectfully ask the president and con-
gress to grant immediate relief from
the exactions of the combinations of
paper makers.
Alleged Excessive Prices.
In September, 1907, and again In
November, 1907, the attention of the
authorities was directed to the excess
sive prices then demanded by the pa
per combination. Immediately upon
the assembling of congress twenty or
more bills, aiming to correct those
conditions and to put paper and pulp
on the free list, were referred to the
ways and means committee.
Dilatory Tactics Employed.
Persistent efforts to obtain a hear
ing have been refused. Dilatory tao
tics have been employed to prolong
the present conditions and to carry
over to another session of congress
every proposition designed for relief.
Newspapers Enter Protest.
All the newspapers here represent
ed protest against this delay. Atten-
ton is also directed to the false re-
ports of news print paper prices which
were recently furnished to congress
by the director of the census bureau.
Use Much White Paper.
The newspapers here represented
use approximately so per cent of the
news print paper consumed In the
United States. We denounce the quo
tations submitted to congress as mis-
leading and unworthy of ~credence.
Confidence in Figures Shaken.
The reiteration of the accuracy of
these figures of the director after the
error had been called to public at
tention tends to shake public conf
1dence and respect for the statistics
thus compiled
