Railroad Strike is
 Resumed in Buffalo
Switchmen and Conductors Dissatisfied R ailroad Yards Again Tied Up.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 2s-Railroad yards in Buffalo were tied up tonight by resumption of the strike of switch men and yard conductors. Dissatisfac- upn with the settlement terms under which the men returned to work on April l7 was given as the reason for the second walkout.
 Edward c. Holehan, president of the yardnlen's association local said tonight that the walkout was complete and that every railroad man in the city was af- fected.
 We are out to stay until we get a re- adjustment of wages said MT. Hohe- nan. We have been back at work for ten days and no action has been taken by the labor board relative to our griey- ances. We insist that we must have more money and will not work until the railroads give it to us''
 Daniel W. Dinan, superintendent of the New York Central and spokesman for the officials of the road here. admitted that freight operations in the Buffalo distrhct were badly crippled, but said that there was no interference with passenger schedules
 Mir Dinan said that no demands had been served on the railroads and that the yardmasters had informed him that the men had left their posts without any notice.
 The first walkout of yardrnen in the Buffalo district was settled a week ago last Saturday when the men voted to re- turn to work without any concessions from the railroads. but with the under standing that their demands would be considered by the railroad labor board.

OF HEARING
 ON NEWSPRINT PAPER PRICES

Washington, April 29-Blame for the high price of print paper was placed primarily upon small manufacturers, brokers and jobbers, although publishers themselves were held partly to blame, by witnesses today before the senate investi- gatng committee. Curtailed consump- tiofi. in order to break the spot market, pending increased production, was gen.
 A7lly advocated as a remedy.
 Seven witnesses were heard by the committee, all of whom virtually agreed that reduced production of paper due to lack of understanding between the pub fishers and manufacturers togethere with the rapid increase in advertising since the war resulted in a situation of which the brokers and jobbers had taken ad- vantage Because of the prevailing high prices, the witness said, manufacturers of paper specialties had been enticed in to the manufacture of print paper, which had served to aggravate the situation. defended and declared to have been req sonable in making contracts
 The witnesses, however, urged that newspapers should confine consumption of paper to the amount provided in their contracts and remain out of the open market
 Sf F. Hanson general manager of tn Philadelphia Record, appearing for all the Philadelphia newspapers, testifi- ed that publishers had been victims of uncomfortable profteering," while w. B. Carpenter. publisher of the Lincoln, Illin- ois, Courier Herald. said unless relief was provided without delay, many small CT daily publications would be compelled to suspend.
 He declared there was plenty of print paper in storage. but it was controlled by about sixty publishing firms and small publishers were unable to reach it.
 Mir Carpenter said he had communi- cated with the department of justice re- garding an alleged corner in paper, but got a reply that was of "discourag- ing character"
 Opposition to a suggestion by Senator Reed that the government be given au- thority to take over the print paper sup ply and allocate it to the newspapers was unanimous. Such a plan, according. to Fleming Newbold, of the Washing ton Star, would be distastrous to pro- duction.
 Warren W. Bailey, publisher of the Johnstown. Pa. Democrat, alleged that combination existed among the paper Until recently, he said, sought cotracts from him but now conditions were reversed and he was forced to sign contracts at their terms.
