Decision Reached by Judges
Appointed on Appeal of

NEW YORK, oct. Judges of

between the news print paper man

down a decision awarding a price

This restores the price current
last spring which was reduced TO
1910 by the federal trade commits
sion. Under the arrangement with
the manufacturers, by which the
federal trade commission fixed the
price. it was agreed that if the man
ufacturers thought it was too low
they could appeal 10 the circuit
court of this district as arbitrators
and that the attorney general acting
as trustee of the people could also
appeal if he thought the price was
too high The manufacturers be-
Iieved that the price fixed by the
commission was too low.
The judges signing the award
are Ward. Rogers, Hough and Man

manufacturers involved should be
based on an average Of the rea-
sonable capital invested and fair
manufacturing costs IF the sisna-
