SLINIMENT NEWSPRINT ' MANUFACTURERS FLEE FROM MEETING lleifsed to Discuss ItcsonalAetss of New'sirint Prices. Paper obbers Also Flaned for high Prices. Vanhington, Wee. 29.-Hearings re opened here today by the Federal Trade Comtnission in its newsprint paper investigation came to a sudden end when paper manufacturers re fused to discuss the reasonablieness of newsprint prices. 110o1h publishers anrd' jobbers had beeln heard. The manuifacturers declared they had not had time to study tables prepared by the cotiillssion's ives tigato's purporting to show huge profits. .\fembers of the trade col missiotn announced that despite all ap parent unwillingness by the nanufac ittlers to cooperate in the Ilvestiga tion, the commission's report would be issted probably in about. ten days and 1hat. such recommendations- to Congress would be made as were thotugh necessary. At the smitle titne it was said the commission would be in position to annouice whether its consideration of a paper distributlon plan showed an actual paper shortage and at need for dist ributlonunder supervision of the comumission. It was strongly intinited during the dady that iets ilncoti-ered by the oirnlissionj will be turned over to the department of justice. It was at nounced ltat if the cotmission failed to relieve condiitiolls. ;otte other gov rntental agency mii.-l lbe able to help. Th'le !'chorl to congress, it I olunde'stood, will :core uanllutactr'el's for raising prices to the extent of forcing inany sinall pmblisher:; out of business. .\lantfacturers proposed Ihe distri bittion plan at a hearing two weeks ago. Today's hearing was a resuip tiol of I that proceeding. inte rruptled to study the plIan and give the nian ituactitters more tile to go over the (omitission's cost of production lig 1t1tICS. Publishers testifying today blamed both) iiianufacture's and jobbers for prevailing conditions in the news paper world. It was declared that jgbbers had taken advanitage of the last two weeks to try to frighten pub lishers into paying high prices by claiming a shortage existed which would prevent many putblishers filling their needs during the coming year. Mot'e testimony was brought out also concerning alleged refusals to sell to pitblIshers, and regarding different prices qiuoted. by the same manitiirt'.a tumers, It. was charged that.. ab..f.. fort was being made to discourage buying associations through-' whfth puIblishers hope to purtchase their Al per mtore cheaply. Publishers, it was said during the day, are going ahead rapidly with their plans for constructing paper making plants of their own. By the middle of 1918, said A. .J. Mleintyre, Pa per ex Pert of thle NewspiapetrI i Pu lishers' association, the putbllietrs will lie virtually inldeendent of' the paper~i makers. .A statement giveni out tonight by F'rank P.
