HIGH PAPER PRICES
UPHELD IN CANADA
Tribunal Says 1t Has No Au-
thority to Order Cut Despite
Big Profits.

OTTAWA, Nov 14.--After hearing tes-
I'pony indicating that tremendous
rofits had been made by Canadian pa
per mills during the war, the Paper Con-
troll tribunal which has been investi-
eating the newsprilt situation decided
to-day that 1t had no authority to
change the price OF s6s n ton for news
print set by tho Pringle Commission,
and that therefore the newspaper must
continue TO pay this price.
Figures relating to the profits made
by the paper mills were submitted to
the tribunal by W. N. Tiiley, acting for
the Canadian publishers. Net earnings
OF $2,S21.951 by the Laurentide COM
pany were shown for the year ending
last June. as compared with Ss67,592 in
1914. The earnings of Price Brothers
we're given as s1,374.7S2 this year, as
against S451,2S7 In five years ago. The
Spanish River Mills net income was ST.
729. 23l, according to Mr.. Tilley's ,ig-
ures. whereas In 1914 they were $S79,-
2s5.
In reply to a suggestion by a member
of the investigating board that these
firms made other things than newsprint
Mr.. Tilley said that the publishers
wished to examine the Government
auditor, G. T. Clarkson. in order to
ascertain whether newsprint was merely
4 by-product He added that attempts
by the publishers to 70 into this phase
Of the matter had been stopped"

WASHINGTON Nov. ,1i.-Republican
harmony set tho doors OF the Senate
aJar to-day and prepared to take a
running jump into oblivion. There was
every indication that the leap would
be made.
The Senators of the more progressive
branch Of the party have about reached
an understanding with one another that
they will not stand for organizing the
Senate and leaving Senator Penrose
(Pa.) and his cohorts firmly seated In
the saddle while the progressive wing Is
left afoot.
Soon after II became apparent that
there would he Republican majority in
the next Senate-provided the contest
OF the validity of the election Of some
Of the Republicans fails--a casual glance
at the makeup of the Senate commit
tees showed the progressive wing OF the
party In the Senate that not only would
all OF the important chairmanships go
to the old guard. but In NEST cases the
STAND pat" element would have the
members ranking next to the chairmen
also, thus effectuallv freezing out the
progressive Senators for years.
The first demand to be made on the
standpatters is that the seniority rule
go by the board and that a fair distri-
button of the plums OF power be made.
II this request IL denied there is going
to be no such thing as the Republicans
presenting an unbroken front.
With the Senate so perilously close,
he progressive wing easily holds the
whip hand and can force the reforms II

BITTER ROW STARTS
OYER PLANS FOR U. S.
Democrats and G. o. P. in
Fight to Control Policies
in Reconstruction.
Special Despatch TO THp srs


WARRINGTON, Nov. 14.-Republicans
ana Democrats are going to fight to the
finish for their widely differing ideas on
the proper body to handle the economic
problems Of the nation during the trans
tlon period from a war TO a peace state.
The opening guns of this fight already
have been fired
Senator Weeks (Mass) seven weeks
ago introduced bill to create n COM
r1si<ss!on Of twelve members, half Repub-
Hcans and half Democrats, from the
Senate and House, and make this COM
mission directly responsible to Congress
TOR coping with the reconstruction prob
lens to be worked out.
A week later Senator Overroan IN.
Co. chairman Of the judiciary Commit
tee, introduced a resolution for a COM
mission OF five. three OF whom might be
Democrats, but to be appointed by the
president without confirmation by the
senate and to be responsible directly
and solely to the President
Senator Overman declared to-day that
ne Is preparing to push the bill. and he
| oeiieves that 1t has an excellent chance
of being adopted.
Republicans are fighting the measure
Tor two principal reasons--first, on the
, theory that 1t again concentrates great
power in the hands OF the executive
branch Of the Government, and second,
because the life OF the comm !ssion Is to
he two years from the formal proclama-
ton OF peace Democratic commission
~ill share highly important economic
policies despite the fact that Republi-
, cans will control both branches Of Con-
sress during the greater part OF this
time.
So bitter are tho Republicans in op-
posing the Overman bill that they say
an attempt win be made to repeal 1t
next year X It passes. Democratic
Senators point out, however, that this
would avail nothing because the Presi-
dent could voto the repeating act II the
Republicans carry the fight that far, and
two-thirds majority in both houses
could not be mustered TO pass the act
over the Presidents veto.

.HALLOWELL is
OVER THE TOP

Tuesday was a busy day indeed
for Hallowell in the Liberty Loan
campaign. All day long Chairman
Wingate and the other two members
of the executive committee were busy
directing the work, answering unlim-
tied telephone calls and attending to
interviews, not only from their solicit
tors but from those who made per-
sonal application for subscription to
the bonds.
At the outset all workers were
confronted with the problem of rails
ing a fund entirely out of proper
ton to the allotments made in other
Maine cities. This because, based
upon the per capita wealth, the al
lotment which Hallowell was di-
rected by the New England commit
tee to raise, is proportionaliy very
much larger than perhaps any other
city in New England.
However, this instead Of operating
tionably been a means Of stimulation
and the creator of a fixed determina
ton not only to win out by reaching
the full amount of the extraordinary
allotment, but to go over the top
besides.
Monday night when the reports had
peen brought in and totaled on the
adding machine and the amount
shown was not as much as had been
expected, the only feeling in the
minds of each and every one of the
solicitors was that tomorrow the sit
uation must be changed for the bet
ter That this could and would be
done was the determination with
which every one of the workers went
at their task bright and early Tues
day morning.
The result was just exactly what
everyone who knows the make up
of the committees and the captains
Of the various teams would expect,
for at their meeting held Tuesday
evening the figures showed unques-
tionably that on the second day of
the campaign the city of Hallowell
is already over the maximum al
Iotment by substantial margin.
Then during the meeting itself sub
scriptions were being telephoned in
to the committee in an almost con-
slant stream. But the work and eff
fort will by no means abate! On
the contrary, Wednesday will I'M
doubtedly be the most active day OF
the Hallowell campaign, for having
once passed the first maximum mark
Of the allotment not single MEM
Der Of the committee will be Eatia.
