TIUS PAPER M4AkERs
This IS TO BE DECIDED
Federal Trades Commixsf0a WIN
Probably Decide Tnlay Srhstle
to Accepf the HeIateti I'rok-
fer from Manufacturers.

WASHINGTON. Feb. III Wheth-
er the government viii crimfnEl1y
proceed against certain bIg print p.-I
per manufacturers Will be decided,
probably today. BIZ the federal trades
commission.
III the text Of the report follox-
ing nearly q years investigation saaiI
hearings, the federal trades cnmmis
sion announced that It had reached
the conclusion that the alleged news
print paper shortage is largely ar
tifieial, prices are extortionate and
free com petition has ceased to exist.
Commenting on this statement ~
the commission that body announced
that the big news print mannfactur-
ers had decided 10 let the commits
sion arbitrarily fix reasonable
prices for their products, sngges-
ton which the manufacturers flatIy
turned down some time ago when
inade TO them by publishers Ia
Chicago.
Since there might be many de-
mands for the government to 60
through With It's criminal prosecu-
tfon. such as has been barely started
III New York under the direction Of
Francis j, Heney. it was limited here
that the commission may accept the
print paper manufacturers sngges-
ton. Officials of the commission
explained that since the somewhat be-
lated suggestion mot only means the
saving OF millions to the great pub
fishers OF the country and would
avert ruin to hundreds of smaller
publishers. Il would also name
big saving to the government
ayerting cours action and it may be
found wise to accept the belated
rroffer.
The feet that acceptance means
the establishment of radical pre-
eedent that OF governmental arbi-
tration Of priees-it was also point
ed TO as an important argument in
favor OF peaceful! settlement OF the
matter. In the last days OF the case
in which officials laid most stress
a high administration official head
declared that an agreement by the
producers to what Is virtually gov
ernment fixing of prices would mark
an epoch in the expansion of the gov
ernment's functions. It would orer
up the widest and most far reaching
possibilities along this line.
