The commissions report goes into
the details of the investigation, giving
specific dates and quotations from its
minutes to show its efforts to alleviate
the printing paper situation, as a re-
suit of its investigation in compliance
with the Reed resolution.
The report tells of the arbitration
agreement entered into February 15,
1917. with several newsprint manufac-
turerS, and said that this arrangement
would have saved millions of dollars
to the publishers of the United States.
1t says the agreement to establish a
basic price of 81. so per 100 pounds for roll

continuance oe all unfair practices on
the part of the members of the News

carried during February and March.

means of delaying action of the De-
partment of Justice on the matter.
Plan for Basing Prices.
In its report today the commission
points out that in its reply to the
recommendation that the print paper
mills and mechanical and chemical
ood-pulp mills Of the country should
operate on government account, as
should also the distributing agencies
connected with the industry. so that
prices might be based upon cost of
production plus fair profit per ton
and net upon panic market conditions.
and so that the distribution of paper
might be equitably made in the inter-
ests of all the publishers.
Action of the legal department of
the commission against the News Print
Manufacturers Association was de-
ferred on account of the indictments
returned by the federal grand jury in
New York against number of manu-
facturers. The commission points out
that the question was raised as to the
possible embarrassment in the criminal
ed with it's legal action. The fear is
that the trade commission
might also be employed by
counsel for the defendants for the pur-
nose of delay, as a basis for a claim of
in the criminal prosecution.

made in view of existing legislation as
to the use of school buildings for sup
Elementary educational purposes was
requested of the corporation counsel by
the school board. He says that the
question of any changes must finally
rest in the discretion of Congress.
TT is a matter of policy. not of law"
he states. land l imagine that policy
will be determined by the public neces-
sity and the advisability of the use of
the public school buildings for such
other purposes as will best subserve the
public interest. provided that their
primary function as places of instruc-
tion shall not be materially interfered
with"
The opinion refers to the act of March
4. 1915. making available the use of
public school buildings for supplement-
ary educational purposes and points
out that no provision was made in this
enactment to pay for the services of
employees and for the care of the public
school buildings.

the magnificent work of our artillery
in this battle, of the enthusiastic way
in which all our infantry speak of
our guns. Among these prisoners
were a lot of German artillerymen.
The officer noticed that they all
huddled together keeping as far as
the limits Of the cage permitted from
the rest of the prisoners.
Interrogation elected the same
fact+from all, and it is the undoubted
truth. The reason the artillerymen
kept away and herded together was
that they feared their own fellow
prisoners. The German infantry were
so enraged at the failure of their ar
tillery in this battle that the gunners
were seriously afraid for their lives
if they were left to the mercy of
their own infantrymen.
