agreed on by the War Industries Board
fuel priority Will be granted manufacturers
Of news-print paper upon application,
accompanied by proof that the plant
applying is entitled to favor.
Newspapers were placed on the pref
erence list some time ago, but the paper
industry was not included, and repre-
sentatiyes of the mills have complained
that scarcity Of fuel had cJrtailed their
output TO such an extent that hundreds
Of newspapers might be compelled to
shut down for lack Of paper. the board
decided to meet the situation by dealing
with each plant separately.
Testimony before the Federal Trade
Commission, on the cost Of making
newsprint paper, ended today. Three
days will be allowed for argument, after
which the Commission will undertake TO
fix fair price for paper, in accordance
with the agreement made by manu-
factWers with the Department of Justice.
Declaring that the section of the
Rivers and Harbors Bill prohibiting the
throwing Of acid waste into streams will
put every pulp paper mill in the country
out of business, representatives Of paper
manufacturers today urged the Senate
and House cOnferees to eli inmate the
provision. The House struck the section
from the bill at the request Of the War
Department which claimed it would
interfere with the operation Of muntion
plants, but the Senate restored it.
