named on this committee Charles
Stewart, chairman; f. X. Gaylord, NJ
e. Foster, F. G. Bell Charles D. Atkin-
son, John F. d'Aue, Victor H. Hanson
James I. Finney and Luke Lea.
The committee was in conference
until late last night preparing a de-
tailed report.
The prevailing sentiment among the
publishers was that whatever agree
ment is reached at this meeting, the
more direct means of paper conserva-
ton to a large extent depend upon To-
cal conditions where groups of pub
fishers devise the more definite plar
of graphing with the problem of con
servation.
CONCRETE IDEAS SUGGESTED
Among the concrete ideas suggested
for conservation were these:
Reduction in the size of newspa-
per through elimination of maya
zinc, feature matter. illustrations
Including comic and the rotO-
EraNurC SectiOns tnf boftfuS uO''h
of local and Geographic news and
decreasing headline space.
Reduction of advertising space
through increase in rates.
Reduction of circulation through
an advance in subzscription rates.
There was no purpose upon the par
of the publishers to seek increase
profits through higher Advertising an
subscription rates. but every point o
discussion was upon the single basis o
conserving white paper.
The seriousness of the situation wa
evident when publishers from tn
smaller cities admitted that unles
there was prompt action along line
of rigid conservation by the large
newspapers they would be forced T.

Pioneer publishers, like Mai, e. E

warned the conference that never i
the history of southern newspapers ha
there been a more critical situation

A set of resolutions had been pre-
scented by Mr., Stewart and it wa
around these that the arguments wake
fast and thick. And it was after lonj
and detailed discussion that these reso
lutions and amendments were give
over to a special committee for con
sideration and report.

SMALL TOWN TO METROPOLIS

The range of discussion was from tie
publishers of the smallest daily to that
of the larger publications From small
towns to southern metropolis the situa-
ton was disclosed in detail before tn
conference.
NJ e. Foster, general manager of
the Houston Chronicles. told the pu'
fishers that a 10 per cent saving in
the use of white paper must prevail
for at least four months of the COM
ing year by every daily in the south.
It was generally admitted that the
problem was complex, tangled and it
would be extreme difficult to find a
general solution but conservation was
absolutely compulsory and the ways
and means must be found before adj
iournment of the conference.

afternoon papers was considered pro
