COURIER FACES
PAPER SHORTAGE
CURTAlLMENT IN SUPPLY DUE
TO WAR AND TO CONDITIONS
At THE MILLS.

The following article appeared or
the front page Of a recent issue Of the
Des Moines Capital:
The Capital Is up against a pa
per shortage. Advertisers and
complimentary copies must be
temporarily suspended. The Capt.
tai purchases paper from the
Minnesota & Ontario company.
This company has notified the
Capital that it will not be able
to supply the Capitals full re-
quirements for the month of July.
Our requirements call for 1865
tons month. The mill states
they can furnish us only 1875 tons.
Under the circumstances read
ers OF the Capital will have to
bear with us in condensation of
the paper until the situation can
be cleared up. Some Of the paper
shortage is due to the tremendous
demand for paper, and some OF 1t
Is due to lack Of production on
account of high water at the
mills. This latter is the present
immediate cause Of the, Capitals
difficulty. .s,..
In addition to the necessity Of
reducing the size or the paper, the
Capital finds it necessary to cut
of all complimentary copies and
copies to advertisers as an abso-
lutely necessary expedient until
the supply Of paper shall be ade-
quate for our needs again.
We ask the friends of the Capt.
tai to realize the necessity for
these policies, and trust that the
situation will soon be adjusted so
we can receive our normal supply.
This frank statement from the Des
Moines Capital explains the situation
as 1t now exists among print paper
manufacturers today. The same con
dition which confronts tho Capital also
confronts The Courier. In addition to
being compelled to pay an increased
price on print paper of 81 per ton, as
The Courier is doing right now, the
manufacturers have given notice thai
they cannot ship us an amount equal
to our requirements. The serious part
of the situation is the fact that no pa
per mill will consider an order fol-
print paper as no mill has any extra
supply over It's contracts.
Every newspaper Is compelled to
purchase paper from the mill that has
been supplying that newspaper and II
is almost impossible to 60 into the
open market and purchase an extra
supply. It Is not question Of pay
ing the price; it is simply case OF
there being no extra paper. In few
cases where mills had an extra sup
ply, they rapidly closed it out at prices
ranging from $50 to $25 per ton over
the regular price. a..-.
The only alternative for newspapers
is to condense the paper by not print
ing so many pages and cutting of all
free papers and extra papers. This is
the situation which now confronts
The Courier and the solution is being
worked out as rapidly as possible. We
make the same plea to the friends and
patrons of The Courier that the Capt.
tai has made to it's subscribers. We
ask you to bear with us until the stu.
alton adjusts itself. ....-.

! cIGARMAKERS WONDER JUST
WHAT LOOP PRESS NEWS IS
If a happening directly affects
1000 Chicago families, isn't it good
news?
Such is the question the press
committee of the Havana-American
Co. strikers asks after failure to get
loop papers to print strike news.
The city editor of the Journal or
deTs the committeeman out of the
office and told them never to return,
they say.
The Havana-American Co.. is a
member of the tobacco trust which
spends more money each year in ad-
vertising than any other corpora
ton" said Max Diamond, head of the
strikers press committee. 1T spends
lots of money itself in advertising its
La Preferencia and El Rio Tan ci-
gars. That probably has something
to do with the reluctance of the
newspapers to print news of the
strike.
"Since the strike started the Ex-
aminer has not printed a line about
it; the other loop papers have merely
mentioned it, except that the Post
had one good story.
There's no news in thatp the
city editor of the Journal told us
when we gave him a story of an ad-
ditiOnaI 800 Havana-American Co.
workers going out.
mo news-in that! No news to the
family of every Havana-American
employe, to thousands of cigarmak-
ers in Chicago, to $4,000 dealers or
the thousands who smoke the La
Preferencia cigar!
