BLUNDERED
ON PAPER SCHEDULE
Evidently Led Into Serious One Dur

| CHICAGO, October 21.-President
Taft was apparently led into a serious
blunder in the closing days of the
recent session of congress when he
changed his attitude on the print pa
per schedule, according to an open
letter addressed to the chief execu-

New York, president of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association.

Mr. Ridder said:
The full text of your address at
Winona, Mimi, on the tariff bill has
just come to hand. With the utmost
respect we submit that your statement
respecting the paper schedule showed
that you could not have correctly read
or understood what the print paper
paragraph contained, as it passed the
house of representatives.
You were apparently misled by
designing men into a serious blunder,
when in the closing days Of the tar

verse your previous attitude upon
print paper and changed your notions
of what the Mann Committee recon-,
mended.

an isolated instance, and there must be thousands
