flict of interest be I w f on large and

at conferences to-day between the
Federal Trade Commission, tlie publish
ers ami newsprint paper manufacturers
ami Jobbers The conference w.is held
to consUIei a proposal that th< prob
lem of an apparent newsprint pauer
shortage he solved )>y distribution of
the. available supply under supervision
of the commission, and to work out
some arrangement, :f possible, con
cerning prices and increased produc
t '.on.
A plan pi oi osed. and apparently
favored, by the trad* commission, the
manufacture:.- and tlu smu'il publish
ers. under which large publishers
would relinquish per cent of their
UU7 nuota to the smaller publishers,
met with immediate opposition. The
lnrn< publishers declared tliey were
b< iiig made :he victims of manufac
turers. who, bv iii\ertii g machines now
i ?-. wall paper and wrapping paper back
to malting newsprint paper, could solve
the shortage problem within a few
days. Hoth large and small publish
ers insisted that the plan called foi no
eon re.--.-: on s by the manufacturers.
\\ 01 t.n hi: mmmih'i kim:i)
amu.m; >MAiii, ri ni<isui:its
The plan proposed would provide
that the 0 pei cent turned back by the
large establishments would be appor
tioned among thr small publishers at
the axei-age contract price charged the
large publishers. This would be be
tween 0 and 4 cents a pound. The
Jobber would icceive in addition about
1 per rent for handling.
Committees of the publishers, manu
facturers and jobbers were r.a ued to
com nut conferences with the trade
commission next week, in an effort
either to perfect t'.ie plan proposed or
to work out some other acceptable
plat: "I'llo publishers' committee will
begin on Monday to send out question
al its to the newspapers, ascertaining
tin needs of the small publications
and loarnCni: if tho large publisher*
will agree to g:ve up a pit it of their
' pap- r.
i In to-day's meeting the large pub
lishers argued t\' i .?ti nereasc in pro
duction v. iuld l>e n simple matter if
I the manufacturers displayed a willing
\ tiess to co-operate In this they wore
-upp"r> .?d t .s. sn.iill publishers.
Hoth classes of publishers too. insisted
that prices were beyoi I reason, and
assurance was given by thr trade com
mission that perfecting of any distribu
tion plan would not stop the commis
sion'? investigation ot that subject.
Commissioner Pavies declared the com
mission was ..f tiie opinion that print

There is no one ho unmusical as to believe that a talking- machine
