PUBLISHERS WIN
 SIGNAL VICTORY IN
 NEWS PRINT FIGHT

Washington. February 16.--News print paper manufacturers, facing criminal prosecution in United States courts for alleged combination in restraint of trade, proposed to the federal trade commission today that it fix reasonable price for the output of the principal plants of the United States and Canada. The com- mission announced tonight that it had the proposal under consideration, and would reply immediately. It is gener- ally believed the answer will be an &C., ceptance.
 The action of the manufacturers give 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 accepted officials say it will mark an expansion of the functions of the government which, in arbitrating the differences between the two indus tries, opens up a wide field of poss- bilities for the future.
