BREAK UPTRDST
IN NEWSPRINT, IS
SENATORS' PLAN
lawsuits Urged; Shortage
Laid to 'Artificial
Obstruction.'
ACTIONS ILLEGAL, UNJUST
Now Federal Hoard and
Lever Act Amendment
Are Hcoommondcd.
Washington, June 5. lToldlnv that
scarcity of newa print paper, which haa
handicapped American newspapers, to
be "more tlio result of artificial obstruc
tions than of natural lawn," the Senate
committee that Investigated tho paper
situation recommended to-day that tho
Department of Justice Institute pro
ceedings under the Sherman and Clay
ton acts against print paper manufac
turers. Manufacturers were charged by the
committee with "unjust, Illegal and dis
criminatory" practices.
Present prices for new punt paper
were held by the committee to In- "ex
cesslvo and unwarranted."
Other recommendations made by the
committee Include:
Establishment of a Federal news
print board "to supervise the manu
facture and distribution of print pa
per" should Government efforts to
maintain a reasonable price fall.
Amendment of the Lever food con
trol act to penalize profiteering ' In
news print paper.
Imposition of an excise tax of 10
cents on Sunday newspapers weigh
ing more than 1.28 pounds a copy,
so as to limit Mich editions to eighty
pages until an adequate paper supply
can bo obtained.
Appropriation of J 100,000 for the
purpose of experimenting with sub
stitutes for wood pulp.
Establishment of a rate of 1 cent
a pound on sheet print paper to any
.part of the country when aent by
parcel post without Increasing the
present limit of seventy pounds pro
vided under the postal regulations.
The committee recommended also that
consideration be given by the Govern
ment to the establishment of a news
print paper mill to supply the Govern
ment's needs with any surplus paper
to bo eold to small consumers.
Drafted by Senntor Walsh.
Tho report, which was submitted to
the Senate Just before adjournment, was
drafted by Senator Walsh, Democrat
(Mass.), and was signed by Senators
MoNary (Ore.) and Gronna (X. D.), Re
publicans. Senator Heed, Democrat
(Mo.), who waa chairman of the In
vestigating committee, was unable to
go over the report because of his duties
on the campaign expenditures investi
gating committee, and did not sign It
The report Is based on extensive hear
ings held by the committee, at which
testimony was given by newspaper and
periodical publishers and paper manu
facturers, dealers and Jobbers.
Publishers of small newspapers were
declared by the" report to be In the'
hands of "unscrupulous profiteers and
exploiters," while "even the large news
paper publishers are at the mercy of
the manufacturers." The report added
that It "was not, and still is not, safe
for a publisher In any way to crit
icise or protest to n manufacturer,"
while the "big publishers, not hav
ing mills of their own, are In a
newsprint not having mills of their
own, are In a 'holdup market,' while
the small publishers are being driven
from the business by threatened bank
ruptcy. Collusion of Mnnnfnctnrer.
"All the evidence of the various wit
nesses and the substantial and abso
lutely authentic Information we have
obtained from official reports," the re
port declares, "seem to Indicate that
many of the newsprint paper makers
here and In Canada were acting in col
lusion with the apparent intent to bring
about restraint of the normal flow of
trade and engage in unfair competition
by methods In some cases of creating an
artificial supply and In others of resort
ing Indirectly th.-ough their bureaus of
statistics to an actual fixing of price.
Indeed, there Is sufficient evidence to
warrant the finding that there has been
a deliberate curtailment of newsprint
paper upon the part of some newsprint
paper manufacturers to get even with
the Government for the prosecution and
also to hold up prices.
"Although the committee has consid
ered the Various disturbing elements
that the newsprint Industry has been
subjected to during war time, and the
subsequent period of quickly rising ma
terial and labor costs, and has also
taken Into account increased consump
tion of print paper, the apparent scar
city of wood pulp ond numerous other
unstablllzlng forces common to all busi
ness of to-day, we feel that the scarcity
of the product was more the result of
artificial obstructions than of the nat
ural laws, and that the market prices
and the uniform contract- stipulations
were arrived at through the shortage of
production, tho efficient work, of the
manufacturers' bureau of statistics and
the use of a virtual gentlemen's agree
ment. Uro Proflieerlnjr Charged,
"We believe that the profits taken by
several of these concerns were totally
out of keeping with the best business
practices, that some manufacturers were
and are guilty of breaking the spirit.
If not the letter, of their own previous
agreement with the Government, and
that they took advantage of a condi
tion, attributable for the most part to
their bwn manipulation, In order to
make gains far out of proportion to
those of fair, legitimate business profits.
That the practices were unjust, Illegal
and discriminatory Is established beyond
any doubt, and also that the prices
charged for newsprint paper are both
excessive and unwarranted."
The report charged Jobbers and brok
ers with profiteering, which It was said.
In view of the evidence presented, should
more appropriately be referred to as
"usury."
"This commltte," said the report, "is
not convinced that over one-third the
price now asked In the spot market Is
warranted, and In fact there are some
well regulated firms Who, as the evi
dence has shown, consider four or five
cents per pound a thoroughly fair and
reasonable price for their products.
There Is no doubt that It Is the man
ufacturers who have spot paper to sell
that have and are reaping the large
profits and placed such severe penalties
upon the country press. There has been
evidence presented which would show
that Jobber and brokers and commis
sion men are receiving very large finan
cial returns as a result of existing high
prices, though many of them frankly
admit their disgust with the existing
unhealthy and Immoral conditions of
trade, and candidly admit that' they are
.ashamed to sell nowsprlnt paper fqr tho
prices current to-day,"
Criticism for Agreement.
The committee criticised the agree
ment mado by the Deportment of Jus
tice with certain print paper manu
facturers early In the war, by which
print paper prices would bo regulated,
with publishers nnd manufacturers per
mitted to make sepurate contracts If
desired. Such an "Ineffective decree,"
according to admissions !y the depart
ment ond tho Fedorul Trade Commis
sion, tho report said, not only cannot be
enforced, but "Is u hindrance If not a
bar to prosecution."
The report further Bald that testimony
given tho committee showed that tho
manufacturers affected by tho agree
ment which was made after Federal
Indictments had been returned against
them In New York had violated the
spirit of tho agreement, and that they
had ncroased their prices considerably
beyond tho nmoilnt named by tho Gov
ernment. The report concluded with a protest
against tho adjournment of Congress
without enactment of legislation to re
lievo tho print pnper situation,

NEIGHBOR DAY PLAN
INDORSED BY GIBBONS
Cardinal Suggests Observance
on Saturday, June 12.
WABMNaTON, June 6. Cardinal Gib
bons through the National Committee
on Community Organization, ot which
Franklin K. Lane Is president has Issued
a proclamation suggesting Saturday,
June 12, as Neighbor Day. to develon a
spirit of neighborltness and friendliness.
Cardinal Gibbons s proclamation, sim
ilar to others by the Governors of Ohio.
Wyoming, West Virginia and Arkansas,
Is as follows: '
The celebration of a National
Neighbors' Day on June 12 would be
a splendid means of promoting local
community organization. I regard
this kind of organization as an ex
cellent means of breaking down
racial and other prejudices and of
teaching men and women In. a
practical way their duties of Chris
tian charity and helpfulness toward
their fellows. It should prove ef
fective in promoting genuine and
sympathetic Americanization.
JAMES CARDINAL GIBBONS.
The Committee of Community Organ
ization la responsible for the birth of
the Idea of Neighbor Day, It grew out
of the National Conference on Com
munity Organization which was held
In Washington March 19 and 20. It Is
planned to have Neighbor Day become a
nationally recognized day for the pur
pose of bringing the people, foreign born
and native, into closer relationship In
order to give them an Intimate knowl
edge of the needs of the community. The
sponsors believe that 'if a real spirit of
community Interest prevails under the
stimulus of a yearly Neighbor Day on
June 12 no radical propaganda can
withstand 'the welding together of local
community organization.

FEARS JUMP AGAIN
IN PRICE OF PAPER
0. If. Hall Calno Says, Though,
Canada Huh Enough Fill)
to Lust 100 Years.
FptcLcl Cable Dtupatch to Till Sun and Nbav
Yoik Ilcmi.r. Copurlglit, IStO, by TUB BtJN
and Nkw Vobk Hnuui.
London, June 6. (1. R. Hall Calne,
formerly paper controller and adviser
to the Ministry of Munitions, has re
turned to London after a tour of Canada
ond says that tho alleged paper short
age Is nothing morq or less than a short
age of wood pulp machinery.
"With reforestation, regrowth nnd
conservation thero Is, presumably,
enough wood pulp to last all the papct
mills now in operation In Canada for
100 years, If they were all situated in
tho Province cf Quebec," he said.
According to Mr. Calne, Canada ofTers
a most fruitful field for British capital
In connection with Increasing wood
pulp facilities. "I was assured that any
audi enterprises would have the whole
hearted support ot tho Dominion Gov
ernment authorities," he declared
He quoted the chief forester of Que
bec to the effect that ho "need have no
uncertainty In promising to provide pulp
paper mills with raw matorlal In per
petuity, even ir an mo mms oi wiav j
Province doubled their capacity,"
Mr. Cilne admitted -nat there was a
world shortage of papef and said that
there was nothing hopeful In any re
cent proposals to find a paper substi
tute, most of tho suggestions submitted
to the Ministry of Munitions during the
war having been found Impracticable.
No HhortnKC of Timber.
"Let mo explode at onco the bubble
that there Is a shortage of timber for
paper making, discussing, of course.
neither the Scandinavian nor the Rus
sian situations, but that ot Canada and
taking Quebec for the purpose of ata
tlstlcs," he said. "In Quebec alono
there arc between 70,000 and SO.OOO
souare miles of timber limits, equlviv
lent to 51,200,000 acres of forest Usually
It Is reckoned that pulp woods run on
an nvcrago of between eight and ten
cords to the acre. This would mean
that In Quebec to-day there are be
tween 430.000,000 and J00.COO.CCO cords of
pulp wood. The annual cutting runs
between 3.000,000 and 4.000,000 cords,
Therefore there Is a hundred years' sup
ply."
Mr. Calne gave two reasons for the
paper shortage. First the fear of the
Canadian forest Interests, who, seeing
the situation In the United States, where
wholesale cutting with no attention to
reforestation was going on, were
brought to the realization that only fit'
teen years' supply was left and, seo
ond, the terrlflo losses as a result of
forest fires In Eastern Canada, where It
was estimated that eighteen trees were
destroyed by fire for every one felled.
The percentage of these losses was
higher In the dry climate of Western
Canada, where twenty-three trees were
.destroyed by fire for every one foiled,
he said.
Enormous Consnmptlon Ilere.
Mr. Calne placed the consumption ot
paper in the United States, at 40,000 tons
a week. Canada, he said, was supply
ing the United States with 12,500 tons a
week, and meanwhile the Americans are
seeking a 25 per cent increase of this
to take care of their consumption, de
spite the fact that the total Canadian
output Is only 16,000 tons a week.
"Summing up the situation, I am con
vinced that the enormous, growing de
mand In "the United States for news
print Is going to mako the European
situation increasingly dirricult during
the next four years or more," he said.
"Not only will the United States absorb
all the newsprint that Canada can pro
duce, even Including the production of
the new machines now being Installed,
but she will force herself, both for news
print and for wood pulp, Into the Eu
ropean markets and will become a stern
competitor In the irrltlah mills.
"What is necessary is to enlarge the
present manufacturing capacity of tho
mills of the world. In this connection
Canada offers splendid opportunities.
Not only has she timber, but she has the
huge water pow.jr necessary for cheap
production.
"One thing Is quite certain, and that
is unless something ts done in this di
rection, and Is done npeedlly, the price
of paper for newsprint will go up still
further.
British newspaper owners will have
to realize that the Americans will have
paper, and It is essential that they con
trol raw materials and supplies."

W. M. BEEKIE NOW
A GOLF CHAMPION
Defeats Frank W. Dyer, 7 and
5, in Now Jersey Final
at Areola.
By KF.IIH N. PETIUH.
Defying the .old .superstition of the
links that tho best thing a man can do
to cross his own luck in tho match play
is to win tho qualifying medal William
B. Reeklo of tho Upper Montclalr Coun
try Club yesterday annexed tho cham
pionship title of the Now Jersey slate
Golf Association when he defeated Ills
clubmatc, Frank W. Dyer, by 7 up and
0 to play In tho thlrty-alx holo final of
the annual tournament over the Areola
Country Club course. By his triumphal
marcli through the field at both medal
and match play Reekie now looms up as
a possibility for metropolitan honors In
the annual blue ribbon event which Is to
be decided this weolt at Apawamls and
Injects Into that event a certain tang
that It has not enjoyod In years.
It so happens that Reekie Is a Scots
man, a native of Edinburgh and a for
mer member of the Edinburgh Twenty
Club, and while ho has appeared In
minor tournaments from time to time
(luring the several years he has resided
In the Now York district this Is about
tho first time that the golfer of thesw
parts has had an opportunity to study J
his gome when tuned up to champion
ship pitch.. What tho faithful few sow 1
WllO trailed thp mfltrll fhrnilfrli tA rnlns '
that drenched the Areola links yesterday
and suffered the discomforts that only
the rabid golf enthusiast can endure
without complaint was something thai
convinced them that Reekie Is one who
long since has learned all the tricks of
the game.
Starting out In the afternoon with a
lead of 2 up Reekie was soon well on
the way to victory, driving a bail that
was almost always a model of accuracy,
pitching up to the pin boldly, and put
ting with a touch that left tho ball
mostly always on the Hp of the cup on
the run up shots and usually where
It was Intended to go on the short
ones.
The match furnished a good Illustra
tion of the old saying that It Is better
to be straight than long from the tee.
Dyer outdrove his clubmate most of the
way, but when It came to searching for
the flagpln with the second, whether
that shot called for a brassle, a cleek, a
mldlron or a mashle, there was no com
parison, particularly ' In tho second
round.
Dyer Makes Bad Start.
Dyer started the afternoon round dis
astrously, as his ball was never found
after a hook Into the rough1 from the
first tee. Reekie was down the centre
of the fairway here, and In all probabil
ity would easily have notched his par
4. On the second Dyer had the better
second shot, and being on while his
opponent was short should have won.
Instead he allowed a half by taking
three putts. '
From this point It was almost a. suc
cession of successes for Reekie. In any
event his lead mounted so rapidly that
there remained little doubt as to which
was td carry the title back home with
him. On the third hole Dyer missed
a short putt for a half and on the fourth
he let a cleek or driving Iron shot get
away from him forfeiting a stroke for
out of bounds. A 6 on this 4 S3 yard hole
left Reekie 5 up, and ho made It 6 by
holding a ten foot putt at the next for a
birdie.
Of all the holes on the outgoing Jour
ney the only ono that Dyer can look
back upon without wincing Is the sixth.
This one is uphill to a plateau green and
Frank played It bcnutlfully, pitching his
ball sky high and laying It less than a
yard from the cup for an easy putt. The
here reduced Reekie b lead to 5, but
at each of the seventh, eighth and ninth
the one-time champion of Pennsylvania
made a mistake that was costly. On
the seventh, for Instance, he drove close
to a trap and then pitched In. On the
ninth he took an extra putt, while the
eighth was tho worst dose ot all for the
Dyer admirers to swallow.
Reekie began this one by topping into 17

the long grass nnd, with Dyer away
down the fairway, it looked to bo a cer
tainty that the latter would beat his
man to It. However, mo eignm ui
Acola Is a long one, 515 yards, ana a
lot remains to be dono even after a good
drive. After getting clear of the rough
Reekie sent a nice brassle away down
the line, whllo Dyer pulled his Into the
trees, had a hard time getting a clear
swlnir at the ball owlnir to tho overhang'
Ing boughs and when he did finally
swing It waa to snap tho head clean off
his niblick among the rocks. ,
Snap Head Off Mlillok,
Considering tho clrcunistancos Dyer's
recovery was a brilliant performance,
but he had now squandered tho advan
tage which Reekie's topped drive had
given him. To make mattors worso
Reeklo sank another brilliant putt, win
ning the hole Instead of losing It.
Facing the homo stretch eight holes
to the bad, there was little for Dyer to
hope for, but a grain of comfort was
blown his way when his opponent sliced
Into tho long rough downhill tor tho
tenth. Dyer won this one with a perfect
4 and after a half In 4 at tho eleventh
regained still one more Just as It seemed
that the contest won nbout to terminate
Reekie should have had on easy half a
least, but ho frittered away a shot trying
to cut his llttlo mashle shot fine and
wound up by sticking the ball on the Hp
ot the cup Instead of holing It on a
Bhort putt.
Tho gallery would have been satisfied
to see the match end here, but having
trudged through the rain all day tho
fact that they again had to turn back
from the clubhouse nnd follow over the
longest hole of the courso, a little matter
of 630 yards, did not worry them. Dyer
made a sorry mess of this one, Rotting
Into a bunker on tho left and then Into
another across the green on his sixth,
whereas Rceklne swung Just ono shot
off the line. With his opponent certain
of his par G and with a holoable nutt
for a 6 Dyer gave up, advancing with
outstretchod hand to congratulate his
clubmate as the latter came up out of
the rough after playing his third.
Oyer Get Early Lend.
Much better golf was played by Dyer
on the morning round, ns his total of 37
for the first nlno would seem to indicate.
He even led by 2 up at tho third hole,
but Reekie summoned to his aid all tho
witchery of a dazzling short game, and
when ho began to approach and chip
right to the lip of tho; cup the pendulum
swung quickly. Reekie squared at the
fifth and led for the first time at the
eighth, and Dyer had to do something
more than ordinarily clever at the
ninth to get a square match of It, hol
ing a 2 with an eight foot putt
Coming back there was a little more
of Reekie and a trlflo less of Dyer In
tho picture. The old Edinburgh twenty
man annexed the twelfth when his op
ponent drove out of bounds and he be
came 2 up at the fifteenth, when he
chipped dead and Dyer missed a putt.
Another approach dead to tho pin gavo
Dyer the seventeenth, but to wind up the
round Reekie laid a superb Iron shot
close and with his first putt closed the
door for his opponent with a stymie.
