CHARGES AGAINST
PRINT PAPER MAKERS
Mr.. Walch Hopes to Force Fedora
Trade Commission to Take Action
Against Them.

WASHINGTON, June %. - Formal
charges against print paper manufac-
Iturers frankly designed to force the fed
Ieral trade commission to some action
against them were filed with the com
mission by Frank 7. Walch, who for.
merly was chairman of the federal in
dustnal relations commission
Acting as an individual in this in
stance Mr.. Walch charges that news
print manufacturers for many months
have been using unfair methods of com
petition III the production and sale Of
print paper. He asks the commission
to conduct public hearing. The basis
,of the complaint is the commission 5 re-
Iccnt report, issued at the conclusion Of
its investigation into the production
and cost of print paper. The manufac-
turers are charged with having con
Ispircd and banded together to control
the industry, increase the cost of paper
by restricting free competition and linn
|iting the production, and having divided
the country into territories apportioned
among themselves for the sale OF their
|product.
In addition Mr. Walch charges that
the manufacturers have Disseminated
in prices among publishers, favoring
some and running others.

PATENT GRANTED
]. ]. VANDERVEER
Clever Invention for Preventing Mois-
ture from Getting Into Salt Shak-
ers and Other Holders.

\ patent has just been granted to
Jean j. Nanderveer of this town, stew
ard at the Brattlcboro Retreat. on a
condiment holder, the invention being
designed more especially as an attach
used by the state board of agriculture
embraces a conical shaped receptacle
which may be made of celuloid or 9th
er thin substance, with a llange at the
base SO that it may be inserted in an
inverted position in the top of the salt
shaker and secured by screwing down
the perforated cap until the cap comes
i'll contact with the flange and holds it
in position.
The apax of the coniea1 shaped recep-
tacle is removed, leaving a round aper-
ture and inside the receptacle is glass
ball. When the salt shaker is in an up
right position, the cone being inverted,
the glass ball by its own weight closes
the aperture and prevents moisture and
dust getting inside the shaker. When
the shaker is tilted or inverted the
glass ball rolls away from the aperture
and allows the dry salt to run out
the perforations. The device also is
defective in breaking up any Jumps that
may form, and the jar of the ball re
moves any Of the contents that may
stick to the perforations, obviating the
necessity of punching through the holes
as is usually done. The device is san
itary and may easily be disassembled
for cleaning, and it may be easily and
quickly constructed at very little ex-
penSe.
