If the expectations of the army en-
gineers are realized, the Key masonry
bridge. which is to replace the con-
demned Aqueduct bridge. will be COM
pleted and open for general traffic
before the close of 1919. Three years
time is considered sufficient for the
completion of the structure on the

looked for obstacles are encountered
1t is the purpose of the War Depart
ment to prosecute the work as rapidly
as circumstances will permit. To that
end Col. c. A F. Flagler, the local

charge of the work, has been instruct
ed by Gen. Black, chief of engineers of
the army. to prepare at once specifi-
cations of the plans as finally revised

AGREE TO THEP[AN

More than 100 publishers. represent

have voted unanimously to cooperate
with the federal trade commission if 1t
decides to accept the proposal of news
print paper manufactures that the COM
mission fix a price for their product.
This was decided upon at a conference
held at the Raleigh yesterday after
noon. The publishers agreed to reduce
their requirements of paper, if neces-
sary, to make the plan successful.
The publishers assent to the pro-
posal removes virtually all doubt of its
acceptance by the trade commission,
and after manufacturers are seen again
tomorrow it is believed the commission
will announce it is ready to go ahead
with the plan. Most of the publishers

Not to Stop Investigation.
Publishers Make Pledge.

After the meeting most of the pub
fishers signed an agreement submitted
by the commission in which they
pledged themselves to cut their re-
auirements at least 5 per cent below
their 1916 supply of paper.
The final consent of the publishers to
the plan came after a day of confer
ences at which many of the larger
newspaper owners objected strongly TO
any conditions that would take from
them any paper they have contracted
for Small publishers and members of
the trade commission, however, pointed
out that success of the proposal de-
pended entirely on such a concession.
and when vote was taken not pub
Usher voted in the negative.
Text of Resolution.
This resolution was adopted as rep
resenting the attitude of the publishers
present:
Resolved. That the. newspaper pub
fishers present at this meeting agree
to use less news print paper in 1917
than they used in 1916. with the thought
in mind that this will create a surplus
which will insure a supply to all news
pa pers particularly the smaller papers,
who have difficulty in securing an ade
quate supply; and we recommend to all
newspaper publishers that they do like
wise in our common interest"
Members of the commission had de-
clared positively that no price arbitra-
tion could be taken up unless publish
ers would cooperate to the extent of
reducing tonnage. if it became neces-
sary. They said, however. that it
might not become necessary for any
publisher to use less than he needs.
The danger they saw it was that
publishers would take advantage of the
lower price to go into the market for
large quantities of paper and bring
about shortage.
Inquiry Develops No Shortage.
The statement was made that the
commissions investigation had shown
there was no shortage. but that the
margin between production and con-
sumption was close. 1t was made clear
the commission would enter into no
arbitration plan with the price alone
| the factor and with no arrangement as
| to distribution.
Questions put to Mr.. Heney by pub
| fishers brought out that the Depart
ment of Justice is considering charges
| that manufacturers limited their pro-
duction as a phase Of the criminal in
vestigation now in progress in the New
| York federal courts.

Loss of Benefits by Refusal.

Francis j. Heney, speaking for the
commission. told the publishers thai
any of their number who would not
agree to hold paper requirements tc
the minimum would be kept from bene-
fitting by the price reduction If the COM
mission could accomplish it.
Publishers made it clear that in ac-
cepting the proposal they will not ac-
cept any plan carrying with it prom
Use that manufacturers guilty of vio-
lating the antitrust laws escape pun
ishment. At meeting held before they
saw the mission resolution was
adopted saying:
1T is the sense of those assembled
that whatever may be the outcome of
these pending conferences there should
in the Judgment of this meeting, be nc
suspension or interruption of the inves-
tigation into the cases leading to the
conditions now existing in the news
print paper trade now proceeding
through the agency of the Department
of Justice.
Not to Stop Investigation.
When this declaration was read tc
the commission Mr.. Heney, who is con
Quoting the commissions news print
investigation. declared the Department
of Justice had no intention of stopping
its investigation. Publishers have in
sisted that they want free competition
restored in print paper manufacture
and throughout conferences here with.
in the last few days have demanded
action either by the trade commission
or the Department of Justice that VIII
