Seek Higher Rates
Federal Trade Commission
Asked to Increase Com
mission MarQins

w WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.-Incrcase in
the commission margins allowed whole
sale paper dealers in the agreement
made last March with the Federal Trade
Commission was asked to-day by the
National Paper Trade Association in
the price-fxing hearing devoted to the
jobbers' part in the trade.
The association also asked, through
President George Olmstcd, of Chicago,
that the Federal Trade Commission rec
ognize the jobber as an economic neces-
sity in distribution.
Mr.. Olmsted said the paper mer-
chants were willing to continue hand
ling newsprint in carload lots at the
former margin of per cent, which, on
the basis of the present Scent price,
would make the price $315 per one
hundred pounds for roll paper and $685.
for sheets. The association asked, how
ever, that the 1914 per cent margin for
less than carload lots but more than
one ton should be increased to Is per
cent. That would make the prices $3.40
for rolls and $3.50 for sheets. In less
than one-ton lots the association wants
rs per cent commission instead of 20
per cent, the prices to be $3.75 and
$4.25.
In fixing prices the committee was
asked to establish resale prices in dol
lars and cents, rather than q percentage
to be added to the merchants base cost.

Republican Senators
Confer on War Bills
No Intention of Securing Party
Action, Says Gallinger; Linn
tied Railway Control Favored

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.--Senate Re-
publicans to-day held their first confer
ence since the United States entered
the war and discussed various Admins
tration measures. especially the bill to
clothe the President with broad pow
ers to coordinate government depart
ments.
After the conference, Republican
Leader Gallinger issued statement
promising support of Republicans to
necessary war legislation as follows:
"The conference was not called for
the purpose Of securing party action
and no such action was taken. Re-
publican Senator's. as heretofore, will
give cordial support to all necessary
legislation for the vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war to successful issue"
The Republicans were urged and
generally agreed, to take an active part
in committee consideration of legisla-
ton.
The war cabinet bill was not taken
up. The bill to give more power to the
President was regarded with disfavor,
but Senators agreed to study the meas
ure and defer decisions
Although no formal agreement was
reached the general sentiment regard
ing the railroad bill was said to favor
insistence upon clause limiting gov
eminent operations to some certain
period after the war.
