Charges that the American newspaper | publishers’ association arc com pelled to pay higher prices for their news print paper, because j the International Paper company j is in practical control of the in dustry in this country, were mado today at the Canadian recipro city bill hearings before the sen ate fiance committee by John Norris, representing the Ameri can newspnner publishers' asso ciation. The paper-makers, Mr. Norris said, have made obvious efforts to restrict production and to starve the print paper market in order to maintain high prices at an agreed figure, have sold paper abroad cheaper than in this country and have arrayed themselves against open prices and against public quotations. In an effort to prevent such secret fixing of prices, Mr. Nor ris said lie had made offers to liny paper and to pay cash for it, but that only two mills out of fifty in this country bad sold to him. The reason for this refusal, be claimed, was that the paper makers did not want a. public quotation of their prices as bo would have sold the paper at auction, thus making the prices vmblie.
