Facing Indictment, Manu- lecturers Propose That
 Commission Fix Price.
MANY PUBLISHERS
 SAVED FROM RUIN
Manufacturers Deny There Has Been Any Violation of the Sherman Anti- Trust Law, but It Is Understood
 They Make Offer to Stop Inquiry.

Washington, Feb. 16.-News print paper manufacturers. facing criminal prosecution in United States for alleged conspiracy in restraint of trade, proposed to the federal trade commission today thar it fix rea- sonable price for the output of the principal plants in the United States and Canada.
 The commission announced tonight that it has the proposal under con- sideration and will reply immediate ly. It is generally believed the an- swer will be an acceptance of the proposal.
 The action of the manufacturers gives a signal victory to American newspaper publishers, who, in the face of advancing paper prices, have seen nothing ahead but ruin for many of their number. If the proposal is ac- cepted, officials say, it will mark the expansion of the functions of the gov ernment, which, in arbitrating the diff ferences between two industries, opens wide field of possibilities for the future.
 Although nothing has been said con- corning the continuance of the grand jury proceedings in New York, it is we'll understood the move of the manu- lecturers was predicated on pre- sumption that there will be no crimi- nal prosecution. The manufacturers, in their proposal, deny there has been any violation of the law.

 Hasn't Heard of It.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The state de- partment had nothing today to ex- plain the reports that negotiations had been broken off between Ambas- sador Penfield and the Austro-Hun- garian government. Officials seemed at a loss to understand it.
 The only negotiations in progress so far as known were the ambassa- dor's efforts to inform the govern ment of the attitude of the United States on unrestricted submarine warfare. The status of the threat ened breaking off of diplomatic rela- tions is said to be unchanged.
