OPPOSE RAILWAY
REFUND MEASURE
Say Congress Would Have to
Pay Huge Amount to Set
tie Indebtedness.
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Sharp
opposition developed late Wednes-
day in the house to the proposal en-
bodied in the railroad reorganization
bill for the refunding to the govern
ment OF S775,551, GOO, owed by the
carriers. Attack on the plan, led by
Rep. -Denison. republican, Illinois,
and supported by a letter from Di-
rector General Hines of the railroad
administration, resulted in final deci-
sion. being deferred.
Opponents Of the refunding plan
declared it would compel congress
to appropriate $363, $4,000 by the
end of this year to square the ac-
counts of the railroad administra-
ton, and Mr.. Denison proposed a
substitute, which he said, would de-
crease the amount needed to $171,-
100000.
Esch Bill Pending.
Under the Denison plan, it is pro-
posed that $415, 900 owed by the
government 10 the carriers as stand
ard return 10 set off against the
debts due to the government by the
roads. The pending Esch bill calls
for only a partial immediate set off.
Proponents OF the committee plan
which was understood to have been
written in the measure after a bitter
fight in the interstate commerce
committee. urged that proposal as a
square deal TO the railroads, which
were charged with debts, contracted
without their consent during the pc
riod Of government operation.
Director General Hines in his let
ter addressed to Chairman Esch Of
the interstate commerce committee,
described the bills plan as an 'un-
duly liberal policy" He asserted that
the plan would provide working cap
ital, not needed by strong roads.
while those most in need Of financial
aid would not receive il. The car
riers, he also asserted, would not be
encouraged 10 finance their nGds
from private sources. The director
general added that congress should
definitely fix the interest rate to be
charged against the refunded in
debtedness. pointing out that the bill
might grant rates so low as TO be
unjust to the government and sug-
gested that the interest rates be fix
ed at six percent.
Approve Sections.
Before becoming tied up with con-
sideration of the refunding plan. the
house approved several sections Of
the bill. including that directing sur
render of the lines by the govern
ment at the end of the month in
which the bill is passed. and that

ADHERE TO WAR REGULATIONS

BY Associated Press:
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Material
increases in advertising and sub
scription rates, limitation TO the size
Of newspapers and provisions in ad-
vertising contracts whereby rates
can be adjusted monthly or quarter
IL were among the recommendations
made Wednesday by a special con-
vention of the American Newspaper
Publishers association called TO con-
slider the news print shortage.
The report of the resolution COM
mittee adopted unanimously, fol-
lows:
Paper manufacturers have told
us that there is a world wide short
age of paper. At the present rate
of consumption the newspapers are
using about 10 percent more paper
than is being produced. This means
an annual shortage on the present
basis of approximately 100000 tons.
Your committee therefore, recon-
mends:
Conserve Paper.
THAT the regulations of the war
industries board for the conserva-
ton Of news print be strictly ad-
hered TO, and that the full text OF all
these regulations be sent TO all the
daily and Sunday newspapers of the
United States, whether or not they
are members Of the A. ". p A.
That publishers everywhere be
urged 10 materially increase adver-
tising and subscription rates, and at
the same time limit the size OF their
issues
That no newspaper enter into a
yearly contract for advertising at a
fixed rate. but make rates adjusta-
BILE monthly or quarterly.
That the A. n. p. A. send out a
standard form of adjustable con-
tracts for advertising.
That the paper committee strong
ly discourage the boarding of print
paper.
Urge Congress to Act.
THAT the white paper committee
and the legislative committee of the
A. \. p. A. urge the enactment OF
such legislation as Will permit the
development of water power, so that
our timber lands may be made fully
available for the manufacture of
wood pulp, lumber and paper, and
we also recommend that congress
be urged 10 take steps that will in
duce the Canadian government to
repeal the order of council prohibit
ing the export of wood cut from
crown lands.
I'VE recommend that the presi-
dent appoint a committee on concili-
alton for the purpose OF adjusting
differences between publishers in
competitive territories. That the
members Of this committee be Sc
lected with the view TO governing
the entire country. That this COM
mittee formulate such plans and rec
commendations as Will assist in ad-
justing differences so far as possible
that each member of this committee
be given allotment over certain ter
ritory and be authorized to appoint

tions in cities or competitive terri
tories within that area.
1T was further recommended that

complishments that the entire mem
