LESS CALL FOR PAPER
MR.. NORRIS TELLS OF SHRINK.
AGE IN ADVERTISING.

John Norris the representative of the
American Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton. having finished his statement yes
terday before the House committee in
vestiga ting the wood pulp and print paper
question, was croSs-examined today by
members of the committee. the inquiries
covering a wide range. Mr.. Norris said
that there had been a material decrease
in the demand for paper since December.
He said that a shrinkage I'm advertising
began in New York city about November
10 last and that 1t averaged about ten col
umns per day for each paper. One paper,
Sunday issue. shrank 100 columns. as
compared with the corresponding Sunday
of the previous year. The average ad-

decreas ed about thirty columns.
What was the character OF the ad-
vertising that shrunk?' asked Chairman
Mann.
1T was largely of the luxuries. like au-
tomobies There also was a shrinkage in
real estate advertisements.
For what period Of time did that
shrinkage continue?" asked Mr.. Stafford
1T is still on" replied Mr.. Norris.
Mr.. Norris stated that although there
had been an increase in the cost of get
ting out newspapers, and the papers had
been reducing their prices and passing
along all of the advantages to the public,
they had been subject more or less to
competition from various sources which
kept down their advertising rates and
their advertising earnings per annum.
Publishers Case Finished.
The case of the newspaper publishers
has been presented to the special COM
mittee of the House investigating the
wood pulp and print paper question.
When the committee adjourned yesterday
afternoon John Norris. the representative
of the American Newspaper Publishers
Association. announced that he had fin

to be examined probably will be the pa
per manufacturers.
Mr. Norris yesterday described the for
nation of the International Paper Com
pany and claimed that the cost oil the
manufacture OF paper is greater under
the consolidation than under the indi-
vidual ownership of the paper mills.
Mr.. Norris placed in the record addi-
tional letters and kilograms from pub

creased cost in price Of their paper. In
some instances the increase was as high
