CANNON'S PLAN ADOPTED. Houso Committee Will Investigate the Paper Situation?Williams Opposes Project. Washington, April 21.?Under suspension of the rules the house today considered and adopted the resolu i tion introduced by Speaker Cannon in , his capacity as a 'representative, pro- * viding for the appointment of a select W coinm'ttee to investigate the paper jffi: . trust and the general subject of wood . J| P^lp and the manufacture of printing H paper. The vote stood 184 to 110 and jp." was strictly on party lines. In explanation of the resolution Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) said it was a matter of public note that there had been a large increase in the price of paper. Never, he declared", had there been such an agitation as had been aroused by tlivj newspapers during the last &r - weeks. While there was a consensus of opinion as to the increase ||l there was no consensus as to the cause w. of that increase. It was, he said, .W capable of mathematical demonstra|| tion (hat the increase was not due to the tariff, and lie contended that it would not be changed by a removal fif the tariff. However that may lie, lie said', there were those who bc licved that the increase was due to K a combination or trust and it was nec1 essary to get the facts upon which to K base a bill to meet the case. W Mr. Williams thought the rise in W price was due "both to the tariff and the combination and the combination f is due to the tariff." If, he said, It had been intended to kill the combination it could have been done by put- , ting wood pulp and print paper on the free list. Declaring his opposition to the resolution. Mr. Williams said he did not. think there would be anv real search for the truth and no real finding or reporting I lie truth. The resolution. lie said, was intended solely to whitewash the tariff as a criminal against the American people with regard' lo wood pulp, and 'Mo circumvent this Mr. Herman Kidder at the head of the great newspaper association 'or the German devil' as some people are beginning to call him?and get around legislating on the question." DIAL LOSES IN CONTEST. Ware Shoals Mill to Issue Preferred Stock?Judge Gage Refuses Injunction. Greenwood, April 21.?Another chapter was added to Hie already interesting fight which is being waged < among the stockholders of the Ware Shoals mill today when Judge Gage handed down his order refusing to grant the injunction on the motion made hist Saturday for an injunction. The motion wa-j made by the attorneys for the minority stockholders and by it they sought to enjoin the' meeting scheduled for tomorrow, ai which the majority stockholders propose to issue preferred stock. This motion was argued at great length before Judge Gage on Saturday and affidavits were read pro and >; con to sustain the respective sides of the controversy. Some time in March jv. at a meeting of the directors of tire . ? corporation in Washington it was determined lo pass a resolution recommending to the stockholders that they 'vV; issue $500,000 additional stock and that the stock so issued be preferred s'??k '? bear 7 per cent and to be redeemed at a premium. A. notice was <<$ sent to (lie stockholders advising tlrem M of the proposed action and the minorIP ity stockholders then made the motion above referred to pwtylng for an injunction. Hon. N. B. Dial and other stockholders in Laurens and elsewhere compose the minority stockholders in this suit and the fteigels are the defendants to the action. The contention of the Dial side was that it would be wrong to allow the issue as proposed since a suit had already been started and was pending by which all of lire issues between the parties would be settled. The Reigels contend that it is the best business policy at Ibis lime lo issue the preferred stock and that it is a question solely of internal management with which the court should not interfere. Affidavits were read from Dial and others in which they said that it had been understood from the beginning that there was lo be no preferred stock. The affidavits on both sides contained matter which had nothing to do with the motion, but which was pertinent to lire issues of the case now pending. The return of the lielgels denied any such understanding as to preferred slock and affidavits were read from prominent mill men lo show that it. was the best business policy to issue the preferred stock at tiiis time. Aim.nit' those who .nave such afllda- I vits were: Lewis \Y. Parker and Mr. Beattie of Greenville. A. F. MeKis- ( sick and ?J. K. Durst of Greenwood and Aug. \Y. Smith of Spartanburg. j; The attorneys appearing for the mo- v tion were Simpson & Bomar of Spar- n tanburg, Simpson, Cooper & Babb j and Messrs. MoGowmu it Todd of ? Laurens. Mr. T. P. Cothrau and j Grier & Park represent the Reigel in- ( terests. After arguments by Mr. McGowan, t1 Mr. Cothran, Air. Cooper, Mr. Grier ? and Mr. Simpson, Judge Gage an- }1 nouneed that he would' take the mat- t ter under advisement and file a proper order 011 Tuesday. This order wa? j received here this afternoon and in it the judge refused the injunction which ^ the minority stockholders asked for. , The stockholders of the Ware Shoals j Manufacturing company will hold a meeting tomorrow at Ware Shoals and the capital stock will be increased from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. t THE PRESS ASSOCIATION. j > How Time Will be Spent at Gaffney , Meeting?Many Interesting Pa- , pers to be Read. a President 10. 11.
