Serious Shortage in Paper Material.

Washington, d. C.-The attention
Of the department of Commerce is
called by the president of large pa
per manufacturing company to the
fact that there is serious shortage Of
raw material for the manufacture OF
paper, including rags and old papers.
He urges that the department should
make it known that the collecting and
saving of rags and old papers would
greatly better existing conditions for
American manufacturers.
Something like Is, 900 tons of differ
ent kinds of paper and paperboard are
manufactured every day in the United
States and large proportion of this
after it has served its purpose could
be used over again in some class of
paper. A large part of it, however, is
either burned or otherwise wasted.
This, of course, has to be replaced by
new materials. 1t the early history of
the paper industry publicity was given
to the Importance of saving rags. 1t
is of scarcely less Importance now. A
little attention to the saving of rags
and old papers will mean genuine re-
lief to our industry and diminished
drain upon our sources of supply for
new materials.
