ANTITRUST LEGISLATION

The House has settled down rate to
dispose of the administration trust leg
islation program within the next three
weeks A rule was adopted providing for
immediate consideration of the bill to
create trade commission, the omnibus
antitrust measure and the bill for fed
eral control Of railroad security issues,
and limiting general debate on all three
to thirty-two hours.
Night sessions will be the order until
the bills are passed. Debate on the first
measure on the program, the trade com
mission bill, was opened by its sponsor,
Representative Cov1ngton of Maryland,
who predicted vote before Thursday
night.
The biggest fight will be made on the
anti trust bill, which will be taken up
next.
While the rule was under debate to-
day Representative Campbell of Kansas,
Republican, charged that the Democrats
were "doing the legislative business OF
the government by special rule under
executive order. ''The President knows,
and you know, he added, 18th At neither
of these bills will become a law during
this session, but the President is show
ing the county how easy it is to run this
branch of Congress,
Representative Murdoch, of Kansas,
Progressive leader, criticised the Demo
Gratis for not bringing the trust legisla-
ton before Congress early in the session.
Chairman Henry of the rules COM
mittee defended the rule and incidentally
announced that an amendment to the
antitrust bill would be proposed which
he would support to exempt labor unions
from prosecution under the antitrust
laws.

Oue OI the leaulnB industries OF Amer
lea is contained in the records Of the
American Catholic Historical society
OF Philadelphia, prepared by a direct
descendant of the original American
papermaker.
The exact date OF the opening of the
old Wilcox mill is unknown, although
1t appears that James M. Wilcox paid
taxes in the town of Concord, Pa. as
early as 1925. From its establishment
until ITS little is known of the opera
tions Of the mill, but at the latter date
the first paper for Continental curren-
cy was manufactured, and here, too,
was made some OF the paper used by
Benjamin Franklin, who was at that
time operating printing Office in Phil
adelphia.
In 1916, when the war made impos-
sible the importation of foreign paper,
congress realized the necessity OF
keeping in operation the paper mills in
the vicinity OF Philadelphia, which pro-
duced nearly one-half of all the paper
made In the colonies, and resolved,
That the papermakers in Pennsylva-
MIA be detained from proceeding with
their associates to New Jersey"
AS illustrating the Importance Of the
manufacture of paper in those days
and the limited number Of manufactur-
ers engaged in the business, the ex-
perience of Nathan Sellers In May.
1776, may be told. Nathan Sellers was
an expert in the manufacture Of molds
used in the making of paper, and
while he was serving in the patriot
army the papermakers experienced
so much difficulty in obtaining proper
molds that a petition was addressed
to congress praying that Nathan Sell
ers be ordered to return from service
to make the proper. suitable molds for
carrying on the paper mandatory"
This petition received favorable &C.
ton.
The Wilcox mill made the first bills
containing water marks for the state
of Pennsylvania and also manufac-
tured paper for the currency of several
other colonies. Years later paper for
the currency of the Confederation Of
States was made at the same estab-
lishment, and 1t was to the old Ivy
mills also that the government applied
in 1912. 1t was at the latter period
that distinctive paper with colored
silk threads woven through 1t was
made for the governments use,
The first machine for grinding wood
into pulp was invented In Germany in
1874, but 1t was in the United States
that sulphite fiber was first used in
1867, resulting In the production, very
much more cheaply than previously. OF
a strong cellulose fiber from spruce
wood
The American paper trade began its
real development about the year 1850,
and It's progress since that date has
never been interrupted. New and wider
machines soon replaced the old narrow
ones, and the rapid advances in prices
OF cotton helped to popularize the use
of many articles made of paper, The
result was an equally marked advance
in paper prices.
Paper machines used from 1870 to
1885 produced paper at what was then
regarded as the tremendous speed Of
1870 feet a minute on machines Of a
maximum width Of from Sc to 80
inches. Many modern high speed ma
chimes are now running night and day
on news paper at almost five times
that speed,

available would be sufficient for 40
years supply. During that period the
spruce would largely reproduce itself,
80 that by progressive and careful
management Of the forest an area OF
100000 acres should afford perpetual
supply to mill of the capacity given.
The problem has also been studied
by Clifford Pinchot, the forestry ex-
pert, and the valuable and elaborate
experiments he has carried out on the
subject Of the growth of spruce are OF
special interest. A large area Of for
est land was carefully examined as to
the nature of timber, its condition and
its growth. Mr.. Pinchots experiments
enabled him to figure the exact
amount of timber which could be cut
from the forest and the number OF
years which would elapse before an
equal quantity of timber could be cut
from the same area. This is best Illus
trated as follows:
The case studied was that OF man
owning 100000 acres, yielding an av-
erage OF seven cords per acre of
spruce ten inches or more in diameter,
and the problem was to ascertain how
much the owner could cut annually If
he wished to obtain sustained annual
yield. and how soon he could return
to the portion cut over the first year
and cut the same amount of timber OF
about the same diameter limit as at
first. Mr.. Pinchot prepared tables
showing the total amount of wood with
diameter limit of ten inches to
be 100000 cords, while the same yield
of pulp wood could be obtained after
81 years. The area TO be operated an.
nually would be the thirty-seventh
part OF 100000, or 200 acres, while
the annual cut OF wood would be the
thirty-seventh part Of 100000. or 10000
cords
A brief examination OF these figures
and facts would indicate that there is
no apparent danger of either the pulp
or the paper industry being deprived
of the sources of raw material.
The discovery Of the art of making
paper has been credited to many men
Of many nationalities. 1t has, however,
been established beyond doubt that
1t originated in the Orient.
The Hindus and the Arabs learned
1t from the Chinese. The Arabs, in
vading Spain, brought the art with
them and little by little Europe learned
from Asia and from Africa how paper
was made, Bailey Willis of the Uni
ted States geological survey has gath.
cred in his travels through China
some interesting documents showing
how paper was made there many CEN
turtles ago.
One OF these documents is a photo
graph taken by him of double trip
hammer used In many parts of the
Celestial empire and which is still
being used in some places for making
paper from bamboo stalks The Chi
nese papermaker's outfit consisted of
several tanks where the bamboo was
rotted with water, trip hammer run
by an undershot water wheel, tray
on which the pulp was dried and dyed,
resulting at length in strong wrapping
paper.
In the United States the history of
papermaking does not cover more than
two hundred years. The first paper
mill was probably that established by
James NJ. Wilcox, who fiourished
about 1880, The old mill still stands
today In picturesque and fertile val
ley of Pennsylvania. The interesting

CHURCH SERVICES
HALTED BY MOB
Gang of Unemployed Men
Rushes Into Church and
Asks for Lodging.

NEW YORK. Feb, 27.--As small
band OF parishioners of the Second
Avenue Baptist church. known as the
old Baptist tabernacle, was singing a
spirited hymn AT a prayer meeting to-
night. the front door suddenly few
open. and the advance guard of an
army OF a thousand unemploye ed and
homeless men rushed in.
John r, Sasre, the sexton. tried TO
shove the intruders into the street.
but they pushed him aside and swept
into the main aisle to the consterna-
tion of the congregation.
Pastor Pierce stopped the service.
walked to the rear OF the church. and
started TO question two men who an
nounced that they had brought the
homeless ones TO the church for the
night. Pastor Pieree's parley with the
men who were in-ihe church Mas@ef-
fectiye, and they reluctantly Withdrew,
after which Sexton Sayre a gain locked

ephoning to police headquarters that
a gang of unhappy men had tried to
take possession of the church. and the
reserves of the East Fifth street sta
ton were ordered to the relief of the
congregation. They soon dispersed the
crowd outside the church.
The invasion of the church was
prompted by agitators Of the /. W. w.
who called a mass meeting in Rutgers
Square this afternoon, to discuss what
should be done with the unemployed.
