Wilson Forced the Paper Makers to
Come Down of Their High
Horses.

Washington, Feb. II. 49, 1t became
known today that the print paper
manufacturers yielded in their opposi-
ton to the government effort to re-
store normal prices and agreed to per-
nit the federal trade commission to
determine fair scale only when con-
fronted with the alternative of per-
sonal action by President Wilson and
a special session of congress to pass
remedial legislation.
At President Wilson's direction, it
was said, Secretary McAdoo summon
ed one Of the principal manufactur-
ers who was acting as spokesman for
the others and informed him that in
asmuch as the government itself was
not permitted by the constitution to
impose prohibitive restraint upon the
press the administration did not in
tend to remain idle while an alleged
monopoly through extortionate prices
for print paper effectually imposed
greater restrain than the government
had ever contemplated.
