STRIKE MAY FORCE MANY
NEWSPAPERS TO SUSPEND
Shortage Of Print Paper Has Left
Them Without Any Stocks
In Reserve.

NEW YORK. August 31.-A very
large number of the daily newspapers
of the United States will be forced to
suspend publica tion on account of lack
of paper If a nationwide railroad strike
continues for two weeks. 1t is declared
by Lincoln 3. Palmer. manager of the
American Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation.
The. print paper situation is acute
from causes entirely outside the prob
lem Of transportation said Mr.. Pal
mer. Many publishers are on hand

the mill just as they are exhausting
the carload on hand
Mr.. Palmer explained that there were
only 90. 600 tons Of newsprint paper on
hand, and that the daily consumption
Appropriated 5000 tons. He added
that his statement was based on the
possibility that the strike would cause
complete suspension of transporta-
tion of the commodity. During the
embargoes declared by the railroads
some time ago newsprint paper was
excepted and expedited.

vITRIFIED BRICK ROADS.
Country Highways Now Frequently
Paved With This Material.

That country roads paved with vitri-
fed brick are becoming quite common
in many states. is stated by the Office
of public roads and rural engineering
Department of Agriculture, in bulletin
recently issued.
The principal advantages which brick
roads possess. according to the authors,
may be stated briefly as follows: They
are durable under practically all traffic
conditions: they afford easy traction
and moderately good foothold for
horses, and they are easily maintained
and kept clean.
The principal disadvantage is the
high first cost. The defects which fire.
quently result from lack of uniformity
in the quality of the brick or from
poor construction are usually to be
traced indirectly to an effort to reduce
the first cost or to a popular feeling
that local materials should be used,
even when of inferior quality.

TO PREVENT SUSPENSION
OF SMALL NEWSPAPERS
Federal Trade Commission Seeking
to Have Paper Manufacturers In
crease Production.

| Announcement has been made at the
federal trade commission that while the
commissions print paper investigation
is not yet completed, sufficient informa-
tion is at hand to show that the publishers
| of many of the smaller daily and weekly
ne wspa pers in all parts of the country are
| fearful lest they he forced to suspend
| publication because of the failure of
their paper supply or the prohibitive
price which they may be forced to pay.
/ The commission, it was stated. IS
| making efforts to induce the news-print
| manufacturers aSSocia ton to
adopt such measures as would prevent
| the possible suspension of these useful
papers, which, it was pointed out, can
not shift the increasing burden of paper
cost to their advertisers or their sub
scribers as readily as the larger city
daflies.
With this purpose in view. and feeling
that the suspension of the country news
papers would be national calamity,
the commission has addressed inquiries
to the News Print Manufacturers As
ISOLATION. inquiring as to the following
points:
Inquiry as to Steps Taken.
What steps have or can be taken TO
! insure newspaper publishers not pro-
teCteQ Dy contracts tAdt they Will De

price?
What steps have or can be taken 20
restrain by legitimate means any of it's
members or any of the middlemen
handling news-print paper from charg-
ing unreasonable and prohibitive prices.
especially for current or market sales?
What steps have can be taken to
! bring about the operation of your mills
each alternate Sunday or for an ext-.i
shift every Sunday. or to transfer ma
chimes to news-print paper that are now
operating on other grades until the out
put Of paper is sufficient to prevent the
possible suspension of any of the news
papers unprotected by contracts?
Reports indicate, it was stated. that
the newspaper publishers are making
serious efforts to cut down waste and
curtail consumption. and 1t is the pur-
pose Of this inquiry to ascertain whether
the news-print manufacturers cannot do
more than they already have done 70
increase the supply and insure the
equitable distribution of news-print
paper.

RUSSIA WOULD RENEW
TRADE PACT WITH U. S.
Many Things Made in America Are
Needed, Official Points
Out.

PETROGRAD, August 31.--Russia de-
sires a renewal Of trade treaty rela-
tions with the United States and would
look with favor on any effort In that
direction. especially at the end Of the
war. In an interview given to the
Associated Press by a high authority
in the foreign office, who preferred not
to permit the use of his name, this
statement was emphasized.
Replying to the question: does Rus
sia desire an expansion Of trade with
the United States, and would she look
with favor upon efforts to establish
now trade treaty relations?" the foreign
Office representative said:
Greater Supplies Wanted.
That is evident We know the power
OF American manufactures. and as our
needs are very great in that direction
we should like to get more easily the
things We need from the United States.
We are now receiving machinery of all
sorts, agricultural implements. steel
tools, railway equipment, shoes and
ready-made clothing-but 1t is not
enough We want more, and we would
like very much IL the representatives
, Of American firms would come here and
see what is necessary. We are ready
! to give them every opportunity IN this
direction.

possibility of exporting to the United
States such products as the United
States may want from Russia-alcohol,

trade is to develop. and even in the
stage in which it is at present, trade

both parties--importer and exporter"
The subject of President Wilson's ap
neal in behalf of the Poles was broach-
ed. and the foreign office official de-
clared that the emperor would be ex-
tremely happy to cooperate in any
way possible.
Ambassador Francis Surprised.
David r. Francis, the American am
bassador to Russia, when informed of
the substance Of the interview by the
Associated Press with a high authority
of the foreign office in regard to trade
relations with the United States mani

inasmuch as the passport regulations

them-as a court of last resort.
Pres. Holden of the Chi, Burling-

There is strong indication that
rather than reject it and precipitate
a strike they will ask for more time

The president closed the confer

the presidents. He said that it was
"a condition, not a principle" which
is at stake in the present negotia-
tons. 1t would be unfair and inn
practicable to insist upon arbitration
when men have repeatedly refused it
and when there is no system or law
to compel it, he added.

DECLARE CUT
IN SALARIES
Step Necessary for Good of
Game-Close Annual
Meeting
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 16-After a session
lasting four days, the National League
club owners ended their annual meet
ing here last night. During the day
PRESIDENT Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh
club endeavored to get the other mag
mates to agree to a reorganization of
the national commission. He claimed
that the commission should be made
nonpartisan by appointing some per-
son identified with baseball, as chair
men in place Of Garry Hermann of
Cincinnati.
Chairman Hermann, in reply stated
that he was willing to resign from the
commission If such action would bene-
fit organized baseball, but all of those
present. except Dreyfuss declared they
did not relish any change in the COM
mission and the subject was drop
ped.
Must Cut Salaries.
The declaration that players
salaries must be scaled down" met
with unanimous agreement. The pre-
vailing opinion was that If clubs de-
sire to meet operating expenses, and
realize a fair interest on the money
invested, the high salaries brought
about by the federal league war must
be cut considerably.
The form Of contract with players,
presented by the national commission
was approved with the exception OF
the ten-day release clause, the word
ing of which is to be revised by the
national commission and passed upon
at the next meeting.
A readjustment of the gate receipts
for the worlds series was advocated
and discussed at length. There was a
general sentiment in favor of players
other than those on the pennant win
ming clubs being benefited financially.
The question will be passed upon at
meeting at which both major leagues
will be represented by their presidents
or committees.
The league took no action regarding
the proposed change in the prices of
tickets for the worlds series, leaving
it to be decided by joint committee
from both leagues.
After recommending the holding of
two extra meetings during the play
ing season. the delegates adjourned
until the schedule meeting which will
be held in February
