PAPER NOT NEEDED
In CONDUCTING WAX
Is OFFICIAL RULING

Government officials have ruled
| that the manufacture of paper is not
essential to the successful conduct Of
the war. The ruling means that pub
lishe'S need look tor no decrease in
the price of print paper with the
possibility OF market shortage if
the war is of long duration.
One OF the prominent pup and pa
per manufacturing companies notified
lobbers IN a recent letter that be-
cause OF the adm nstratiOn ruling and
other conditions commit ments could
not be held for over TWO months, call-
attention to the unsettled condition
OF tue markeJ in The following:
The federal government, as a war
time measure has placed the paper
trade in the non-essentiaP list In
plain English this means, that the
manufacture of paper is not necessary
To the carrying on OF the war. Such
ACTON does not, upon its face, look
serious, but the consequences are
liable to be of very much greater
amount than we just now realize.
With selective cOnscripton I'M
force, it means that men between the
prescribed ages, in paper milIs and
other non-essential lines, will be
first chosen for IN litary and nayalI
duty; or they may be transferred TO
ess Mt al industries.
1t viii mean, hat if there be in
sufficient coal to meet the needs,
tnat the non-essential industries must
go without, or take such lesser guam
t.ty below their requirements as may
be allotted them, and at enormously
increased cost.
1t win mean that transportation
of essentials will be given preference
over non essentials, with the result |
that freight cars-both incoming and
outgoing-will not be obtainable at
all, or their availability will be great
ly curtailed.
1t will mean that the supply of sui
phur may be interfered with This
for two reasons, Q) the commander
ing by the government of the YES
sells now used by the sulphur com
panies, and the putting of those yes
sells to use in other trade; and (2)
the diverting OF sulphur now com
ing to sulphite mills for use in the
Of fertilizers, which di-
version has already, we are advised,
been requested.
while the wood supply may not
be diverted for other uses, yet the
largely decreased cut, during the past
winter, makes the danger Of a short
age with many mills very acute; this
because of labor and transportation
This company has been
to invest exceeding 500 0N
IN boats, thus further partially insur-
ng delivery of wood to the mill.
Upon the whole the outlook is anW
hing but encouraging. Costs of pro
full production be even
bound TO Increase.
Believing it patriotic duty, we
will absorb these increased costs TO
he fullest extent OF our abihty-in
order that the burden upon the ulti-
nate consurem may be as light az
possible. However, for our own pro-
,ection we will hold commitments
o not over 60 days ahead, letting the
'uture direct our course as 1t may.
1--WE think it Is only fair that the
from the manufacturers'
standpoint should, for their infoma-
ion and protection, be presented to
,ur customers, and we are therefore
ldvising you accordingly"
