dealers are making no attempt to
carry poultry at this season, because
of its scarcity and high price. Other
meats, . including fresh beef, pork
and mutton, are retailing as. they
did last week. Pork was advanced
slightly, wholesale during the Aveek,
dealers said, but "a number of
butchers did not carry the boost
on the consumer. y

all winter, may be slightly more
abundant within a few days, fol

FURTHER GUT IN
CONSUMPTION
OF PAPER URGED
Conservation in Order to Break
Corner on Spot Market
Given, as Remedy or
Present Shortage.
Washington, April 30. Blame for
the high cost of print paper was
placed primarily upon small manu
facturers, brokers and1 jobbers, al
though publishers themselves were
held partly to blame, by witnesses
yesterday before a senate ; investi
gating committee.'. Curtailed con
sumption, in order to break the sprt
market pending increased produc
tion, was generally advocated as a
remedy.
Several witnesses were heard by
the committee, all of whom virtu
ally agreed that reduced, production
of paper, due to lack of understands
ing by the publishers and manufac
turers, together with the rapid in
crease in advertising sincf the war,
had resulted in a situation of which
the brokers and jobbers had taken
advantage. Because of the prevail
ing high prices, 'the "witnesses said,
manufacturers of paper specialties
had been enticed into the manufac--
ture of orint paper, which had
served to aggravate the situation.
The regular paper manufacturers
were defended and declared to have
been reasonable in making new con
tracts. ,
The 'witnesses, however, urged
that newspapers should confine con
sumption of paper to 'the amount
provided in their contracts and re
main out of the open market.
M. F. Hanson, general manager
of the Philadelphia Record, appear
ing for all, the Philadelphia newspa
pers, testified that publishers had
been victims of "unconscionable
profiteering," wjiile W. E. Carpen
ter, publisher of the Li n coin (111.)
Courier-Herald, said unless relief
was provided, without delay, many
smaller daily publications would be
compelled to suspend. He declared
there was plenty of print paper in
storage, but it was controlled by
about 60 publishing firms and small
publishers were unable to reach it. ,
