HIS REPORT
OF TARIFF BOARD
Washington. May 17.? President Taft !
to-day sent to the Senate the tarllf ]
board's full report of its Investigation
of the pulp and news-print paper In?
dustry in the United Slates anil Can- !
ada.
Summarized briefly, the report says!
that n ton of news-print paper Is made
In Canada for $5..'if. less than It Is mode?
ln the United States. The average Ca?
nadian cost Is given at J27.B.1 and the
average cost to United States at
?a".SS. The duty upon a Ion of news?
print paper under the present tariff is
?r,.7B.
The principal Increases In the cost
of manufacture in the United States
Is siitd to be due to the fact that a
ton of pulp wood costs nearly twice as
much In the United Stales as .lt does In
Canada, and that many of the mills
have much older mid much less etil
.'irnt equipment than the Cansdtin
mills, which Is sald.tr. be responsible
for a large Increased manufacturing
cost.
In the cost of labor employed, Ihe
differences In the two countries are
shown to be very small.
The total average cost of a ton of
ground wood pulp in balk at a mill In
Hi" United S'fatcs Is $11.59; In Canada
it Is $9.56. The total cost of a ton of
sulphite fibre In (he United States ts
$31.39; In Canada it lr. 526.17
The total materials entering Into the
manufacture of a ton of newspaper
print In Cnnnda are shown as IK,.SO.
und In the United States ns J22.7I. The
Inbor cost of a ton of paper in the
United States Is shown to lie ?;:.'.'7. ami
In Canada. J.I.19. All other allowances
for manufacturing costs In the Unite I
States arc $6.S7, and In Canada, $7.in.
Dnbor costs In all the items concern?
ed run very closely nllke.
The report shows that the cost of
manufacturing news print paper In Ihe
United States varies widely. The
lowest cost recorded Is 521.50 a ton; thc
highest Is $13. From this the tariff
board strikes an overage of $32.8$.
At the Canadian mills the lowest
price recorded for producing :> ton of
news print paper Is $21.97, and the
highest is $30.1S- Average. $27..I.*..
In accounting for the Increased cost
of Ihe pulp wood. It Is shown that nt
an American mill the average cost for
a ton of wood for ground wood pulp
Is $10.S3: In Canada,, $5.70. The aver?
age cost of the ground wood pulp en?
tering into a ton of news print paper In
the United Suites Is given at $13.27;
Canadian vnlue. $S.I9. The average
cost of the sulphite fibre In a Ion of
paper at a mil] In the United Slates
1s given al $S.G3: Canadian valuation.
S7.ll: manufacturing labor in ihe
United States, $3.27, and In Canada,
