STARVES MARKET
TO HOLD PRICES
NORRIS CHARGES PAPER MA
KERS WITH RESTRICTING
PRODUCTION
Washington, May 23. 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.
