 FOR CHASE cos.
Mother Sued For Death of SOn-Judge M. F. McNiff
 Rendered Ruling

Issues in favor of the Chase Companies, Inc. are found by Judge Miles F. McNiff in a decision hand ed down in the common pleas court today in the $10,000 civil ac- tio.i brought against the concerr by Mrs Sadie Bartholomew as ad. ministratrix of the estate of her son, Walter. The boy. 13 years old was killed by high tension wires carrying 22.S00 volts May 30th, when he climbed 50 foot tower owned by the Chase Companies.
 Judge McNiff finds there was no negligence on the part of the de- fendant compaiIy because there is no statute or regulation in the state that says such towers must be fenced in, or that warning signs must be posted. He adds that even if such sign or fence were erect ed at the tower, it would not have made much difference to the case. Attorney Frank B. O'Neill repre- sented the plaintiff. Attorney Wal ter B.

NEWSPRINT cos
 HURT THE PAPERS

Toronto, Ont, Nov 22-(UP)- Persistent increases in the price of newsprint will result in the doom" of the two-cent daily newspaper in the opinion of w. J. J. Butler, president of the Canadian Daily Newspapers association. "The day of the two-cent daily newspaper appears doomed, Butler, said in a prepared statement. "Only low pre- vailing price of newsprint and the most efficient management has en- abled publishers to continue for the past few years the production of the daily newspapers at present prices.
 ''The sales tax on newsprint is felt to be unjust because no method has been devised to pass it on to the consumer, and, consequently, it is a direct tax to the publisher.
 ''The publishers know that the second lArgest Canadian industry can not be operated in perpetual bankrunptcy, but he will vigorous ly combat cumulative campaigns involving persistent annual. and semi-annual increases in news print prices that are unwarranted.
