Norris Starts Proceedings.
Representative of the committ-re
of fifty appointed by tlm American
Newspaper ililillshers' Association
arrived in Washington today In re
sponse to a telegram sent' by Chair
man Mann to President Kidder, of
the association, and General Manager
Melville K. Stone, of tlm Associated
Press, Inviting testimony.' The dele
gation appeared before the Investigat
ing body this afteinoou and the pre
sentation of the publtsiiers' cane Was
at on en begun by John Norris, busi
ness manager of the New York Times.
"Represent All Papers."
NnrrU said he and his associates
had come before the committee "as
representatives of substantially all
the dally newspapers of the' United
States. We consume at least eighty
per cent of the newspaper , print
paper used In the United States. We
appear here as representatives of -4Jie
seventh largest Industry Ju the country,...-
an Industry that has . been
lueiiaced y 'snv extraordinary af Rrt
gallon of law breakers.'
Plans For Delay. ,
Norris declared' that toe asiwcla-trusty
thm had appealed to tho house Ami
to the department of justice and
gross for Immediate relief amU for
iiKiutlia had been taking every oitor
ti'tiitey to tell their story to congress.
in reply, he said his association ,hns
been told nt least twivity times ad In
various ways that they could net
look for any relaxation of the' oppres
sions which the paper makers, "as
objects of congressional favoif had
Imposed upon the vast public Inter
ests of the country, and that con
gress would not aid at this tlnm In
correcting gross public wrong.
Investigation In Late.
Therefore, ho said, tho association
was apprehensive that the Investiga
tion, because It had oeen started so
late, could only have r,n meaning,
"delay, postponement and .continu
ance for another year of conditions
which are Intolerable." Norris said
the association did not Intend to Im
ply any mistrust of the committee's
Intentions and he assed under what
program the committee 'will proceed.
Able to Prove Charges.
Norris asserted hln ability "to pro
dure evidence of broken promises to
"ongress. of deception practiced upon
you, oppression upon the pnbl)
wrongs to labor and damage tn the
cointry without a particla of com
pensatlng advantage." "We will," be
continued "produce figures to prove
our assertions that the paper makers
plan to a. 1. 1 sixty million dollars per
annum to the burdens of the paper
consumers."
What Norris Will Show.
Norris' statement, though In th
nature of asking the range of the
committee's Inquiry, went. Into details
and made It known to the committee
that the association was " ready to
prove all its charges. It could fchow
how the price of paper to a Baltl
more publisher was arbitrarily raised
$12 a ton and the Bangor publisher
who was made to put up $2.50 pr
ton more because he whsj within
seven miles of the paper mill; how
certain papers were refused quota
tints, and forced to go to Canada
for paper; of the flooding of Canadian
mills with orders by the tru;t so that
they coeld not fill orders from Am
erlcan publishers; of the purchase if
vast quantities of Canadian timber
used in the manufacture of wood
pulp; of the rise og $12 per ton In
paper while an increase in the cist
of labor In producing it wan but a
provision of the division cf territory
bv trusts; and scores of ether facts
contained in hundreds of letters from
publishers in his ixwsesslon.
Rcadv For Facts.
After Norris had concluded his pie
limlnary statement, KoprcssntV.lvt
Mann, chairman of the comnrtte-.
said in answer to several questions
that what the committee wanted was
information, and he added, that it
was ready to receive any facts which
the association had to present. He
declared that for one he would not
sign a report without naving inor
