That Proposed at Meeting of
Publishers Held Here
Yesterday.
TO FORM ORGANIZATION
Advertising and Subscrip-
ton Rates Advanced in
Some Towns.

II is among the possibilities that as
one Of the results of a meeting o!
West Virginia newspaper publishers
held at the Fairmont Country Club
yesterday afternoon West Virginia
newspapers in the not distant future
will be printed on white paper made in
West Virginia paper mill. At pres
ent there IL no mill in the state turn
ing out paper suitable for newspaper
use although all the raw material
which goes into newsprint is found in
the state in great abundance. 1t was
suggested during Il dicuSsion Of the
serious paper shortage, and COnsc'
Quent high price which the newspa'
pers are compelled TO pay, that If the
West Virginia consumption were
pooled it would amount to enough to
warrant n mill in this state making
arrangements to furnish the supply.
That will be investigated at once.
Other aspects of the paper situation
were also discussed and the outcome
Of the talk was the creation OF COM
mittee consisting Of J. J. Devine, OF

telligencer and Howard II. Holt of the
Grafton Sentinel. which was instruct
ed to make thorough investigation
of the paper situation and see what
can be done in the way of cooperative
buying of the stock used By the daily
newspapers of the state.
Another matter that was discussed
