ENTERS RESOLUTION
FOR AN AMENDMENT
Speaking of the Paper Trust

borers Needed and De-
manded Some Protection.

Washington, D. C. June 17.-Sena-
tor Brown of Nebraska denounced the
paper trust in the tariff debate in the
senate today and he also offered res
olution for constitutional amendment
for income tax. OF the paper trust he
said:
"If the finance committee cannot
argue for a protective duty by reason
of the old reliable demand to protect
American labor from the ruinous COM
petition of cheap foreign labor. on
what do they base their anxiety for an
increase in the rate over that fixed
by the house after an exhaustive in
vestigation He demanded.
Surely the number of laborers on
the newspapers and periodicals of this
country, which are demanding low
er rate, ought to be considered. The
print paper for these men is the raw
material and the finished product goes
into ten million homes as the great
national means for education and cul-
ture. The newspaper has become a
common necessity in every American
home.

us it in accord with republican
principles of protection to protect 49,
900 laborers who don't need protection
and who are monthly emigrating
across the border into Canada to ac-
cept higher wages, and at the same
time strike blow direct at 145.63S of
the most intelligent and progressive
workers of the country?
You cannot question my loyalty to
the doctrine of protection, where pro-
lection is needed to develop an indus
try and maintain a high rate of wages
for Americans. but ] will not remain
silent when extortion is demanded in
the name of protection. The testi-
mony before the house committee
shows that the International Paper
company itself went into Canada and
purchased a large amount of print
paper to keep the American publishers
from buying 1t and this they parcelled
out among their foreign customers.
Because of this purchase of foreign
paper, the trust had too great a supply
on hand and was compelled to shut
down twenty-four paper mills while
the surplus was being consumed in
American presses and the protected
laborers in these twenty-four mills
were compelled to find other jobs.
