 At a conference an informal meet ing, the publishers and the paper manufacturers representing the American Newspaper Publishers as- sociation and the Print Paper Manu- lecturers association, voted to ap- point a committee to meet immedi- diately after the delivery of the re- port on the print paper situation next week by the Federal trade commits sion to see whether knowledge gain ed from the reports does not point out a way to an adjustment of the prob lem of the high prices.
 "A hint of the possibility of the prosecution of print paper manufac- turers for. alleged violation of Fed eral antitrust laws was said to have been contained in the document by Joseph B. Dawes, member of the Federal trade commission who attend ed the meeting, that the commission CTS have turned over certain evil dence" to the department of justice for action.
