ture of the country press, which
includes the little four-page paper
from back home, fighting with its
back to the wall and almost ready
to so under because of the print
paper shortage. was presented to
the senate investigating committee
today by Cortland Smith of New
York, president of the American
Press association.
Along with his picture of the
troubles of the country editor, Mr..
Smith made the direct charge that
the print paper market had been
cornered and that the print paper
interests had Conspired to regulate
production so that prices might
continue to mount. In the face of
this situation, he frankly declared
there was little hope for the small
town papers and that unless quick
relief was provided half of them
would be wiped out of existence.
While other witnesses had
charged that the market had been
.cornered Mr.. Smith, whose associa-
ton largely supplies the country
press, was the first to allege a con-
spiracy to regulate output and
price.
The federal trade commissions
findings in its investigation of the
news print paper situation were
sent today to the department of
justice.
Chairman Murdoch would not
discuss the report further than to
say he believed it embraced the
details of a thorough examination
by the commissions representa-
tives. At the department of JUS
tice II was said the report was be-
ing studied with a view to taking
such action as it warranted

And we will re-elect the state

There will only be twenty real
fights over the election of dele

INJECTED INTO

Postponed Until Today.

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRsl
Des Moines, Ia, May THE
league of nations controversy pre-
sented itself in the general confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church here today.
The issue came up when the
committee on state of church, un-
der suspension of rules, filed ma
jority and minority report on the
question of sending to President
Wilson and leaders Of congress the
paragraph from the address OF the
bishops on the league Of nations.
The majority report recommenoea
the paragraphs indorsing a league
of nations, and urging the presl-
dent and congress to come to some
agreement, be sent as contained IN
the address. The minority report
favored asking the president TO
resubmit the matter to congress
with such notifications as will In
sure adoption in the senate.
Action by the conference was
deferred until tomorrow.
A resolution was adopted COM
mending Governor Coolidge, OF
Massachusetts for his action. in
vetoing the bill passed by the leg
lature, the effect of which would
be to legalize the manufacture ana
sale of 2& per cent beer. Another
resolution was offered criticizinS
governor Phillips, of Wisconsin
for his statements that conditions
among the laboring classes are
worse and crimes increasing owing
to the prohibition amendment. TINS
was sent to the committee on tenn
perance, prohibition and pubic
morals.
Coincidence to Samuel Gompers
upon the death of Mrs. Gompers
was expressed in a resolution.
Governor II. ]. Allen, of Kansas,
was the principal speaker at to-
nights session.
In speaking upon the Kansas
plan of settling labor disputes
through the industrial court, Gov
ernor Allen said that if every
cried out for a christian
remedy for industrial war, this
present civilization utters that cry.
During all the years he said, there
has been a consciousness that con-
ciliation and arbitration do not
reach the desired end, and the
reason is that the public is not
considered. The Kansas plan pro-
tects not only labor, not only CAP
ital, but the public as well. The
governor conceded to the laboring
man the right to quit his job, but
denied any body of men the right
to conspire deliberately to shorten
the supply in any essential indus
try because such action interferes
with the rights Of the public. He
stated that every radical labor
leader In America Is opposed to
the new Kansas law, because all
such men know that If it is a sue
cess, there will be no job for the
labor agitator.
