 on Government Ban j.

NEW TOR KCITY, N. Y, July 31.-The International Paper Com pany, in a statement issued today, said that American workmen would benefit by the use of Russian pulp wood importation of which has been banned by the American Goy-- ernment on the ground that it is product of convict labor.
 The American newsprint mills import a substantial part of pulp wood either from Canada or Rus sia, the statement said, and from the point of view of the American workman, what is desirable is not the elimination of the Russian SUD- ply, but assurance of it's continu- ance, for the Russian pulpwood will prolong the life of the com- panys mills and the employment of their men"
 The company said contracts with Russia for part of the 1880 supply of pulpwood was on assurance that convict labor would not be used in its production. The company de- clared it favored admission of the Russian pulpwood as it had no knowledge that it was a convict la- bor product.
