MAKERS Of NE VS.
PRINT PAPER NOT
To Be IMMUNE
Publishers Insist That Men
Guilty of Combination in
Restraint of Trade Should Be
Punished in Federal Courts,


Washington, Feb. 23.-News print
paper makers and newspaper publish
ers gave the federal trade commits
sion their views today on a proposal
by q group of manufacturers that the
commission fix the price for their
product. No decision was reached
and conferences will continue.
The commission tomorrow will see
manufacturers who so far have not
endorsed the price-fixing suggestion.
Monday it will hear publishers com
ing from throughout the United States
at the commissions invitation. Today
it saw the executive committee and the
print paper committees of the Amer
lean Newspaper Publishers associa-
ton.
Some of the manufacturers who
saw the commission today are ready,
it was said, to sign the proposal. 9th
ers have not consented. Adoption of
an arbitration plan is not dependent
on the acceptance of all the manufac-
turers. although the commission feeln
that their cooperation would help.
If it accepts the manufacturers
proposal, the commission will act as
an arbitration board and that is why
before deciding it desires to consult
as many manufacturers and publish
ers as it can. Publishers generally, II
is asserted are ready to assist in the
plan il assured that the relief will be
permanent but they are insistent that
no plan be put through which prom
ises immunity TO manufacturers who
are under investigation in the federal
courts.
The trade commission has about
completed separate investigation of
the book paper manufacturing indus
try and is understood to be preparins
to report that conditions in that field
are similar to those found in the news
print paper manufacturing industry.
1t is said the report will find there is
no shortage of book paper and that
high prices are not warranted by pro-
duction costs.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The house
rules committee late today agreed to
a special rule expected to insure a
vote in the house at this session on
the District of Columbia prohibition
bill.
Prohibition advocates hailed the
committees action as another import
ant victory, for they believe the bill
certain of passage once it is brought
to vote. For more than a month
it has been before the house District
of Columbia committee without action
and recent developments there had
given the prohibition sympathizers lit
tie hope of a report to the house in
time for passage by March 4.
The rules committee stood seven to
four for the rule, which, If adopted
by the house would take the bill out
of the hands of the district committee
and set date for roll call on its pas
sage. That method of bringing a
measure before the house has not been
resorted to in years and it was said
tonight that the district committec
might decide to avoid it in the pres
ent instance by Immediately reportin {.
the prohibition measure. The rule
would make in order all proposed
amendments, including one pendinG

making it more difficult for his forces

scarcity of water in that region, but
Colonel Pujol reports he has taken
measures to insure his water supply.
In this fighting government troops
have lost two men killed and four

tions for the holding of elections on
constitutional amendments gives an
entering wedge for the Australian bal
lot system in New Mexico; for the bill
provides for the erection of booths at
polling places and for safeguarding
in every way secrecy of the vote in
such election.
AS soon as the bill was read in full
and placed on its passage, Senator
Barth moved to amend it by striking
out everything after the enacting
clause and substituting in lieu of the
parts stricken ou the text of the Skeen
Australian ballot bill which was in
troduced in the senate during the first
days of the session and which has
never been reported out of committee.
The effect of this amendment would
have been to make the bill a straight
out Australian ballot measure apple
able to all elections instead of limit
ing the secret ballot to elections Oh
constitutional amendments.
Senators Barth, Smith and Skeen
spoke in favor of the amendment, and
Senator Kaseman, the new republican
floor leader in the senate, opposed 1t
on the ground that the amendment
was not germane to the original bill.

INAUGURATION Of
PRESIDENT To Be
SIMPLE AFFAIR
Special Session of Senate IS
Called for March 5; Wilson
to Take Oath of Office at
White House on Sunday.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Details OF
the inaugural plans, which have been
indefinite because March 4 falls on
Sunday, began clearing up today with
the official announcement that Presl-
dent Wilson had called the customary
special session of the new senate on
March 5. A plan to abandon 1t had
been under consideration. The special
senate session will include the usual
ceremonies of inaugurating the vice
president, which compose about one
half the formalities of the day. IL
seems to have been decided that Pres
ident Wilson will take an oath of Of
flee privately in the White House sun
day, March 4, but it has not been an
nounced whether he will take it again
at the public ceremony in open air at
the front of the capitol, March 5.
IT has been suggested that
the president make the public
ceremony merely the occasion for de-
livering his inaugural address. 1t is
certain that Vice President Marshall
will take his oath in the formal way
at the special senate session Monday,
March 5.
Little Ceremony Likely.
The state department ruled today
that IL the president decided not 10
take the oath until Monday there
would be no interim period in which
the country would be without presi-
dent, and published an opinion by
Chief Justice Marshall in 1921, to COW
er similar situation which confront
ed President Monroe.
Women Controversy Ends.
The controversy over what part
women shall take in the ceremonies
shows signs of quieting down. Mrs.
James P. Boggs of the Woman's Will
son Union. who announced last night

the inaugural parade because of a diff
ficulty with Chairman Harper of the
inaugural committee over a state float
demonstration, said today she had no
further statement to make, and Mr..
Harper indicated that he considered
the incident closed. The chairman
said he had assurances that many
women's organizations would be in
line.
