COMMITTEE

Commission

Washington, Dec. lS.--After a day OF
discussion the conference of newspaper
publishers and paper iobbers and manu-
facturers with the federal trade commits.
sion adjourned Saturday night, after
agreeing upon plan for the continual
tion of the cooperative effort to find a
solution of the news print paper prob
lem.
Representatives OF the publishers, job
bers and manufacturers will meet in
Washington TO confer with the trade
commission at the call OF the latter,
probably within week or ten days. 1t
is expected that by this time statistics
of the production, consumption and dis
tribution of paper, with cost and selling
prices, will have been gathered.
limitations were forthcoming from the
commission Saturday that if the parties
interested could not arrive at settle

on working plan.

Davies that the manufacturers set aside
five per cent of their unsold tonnage and
that the larger newspaper publishers
yield similar amount of their contracts
to be placed in pool for distribution to

suggestions were brought forward, but
at the end OF the long discussion an
agreement seemed to be as far away as
ever.
The trade commission nevertheless has
not abandoned the hope that an AMIGA

end a committee made up Of two rep

This spring tour of the state is the
