Washington, Nov. 3.?In a state-' ? ment tonight announcing virtual completion of its investigation of news ? print paper prices, the federal trade commission declares that during the j ? first half of the year, when prices already were soaring to unprecedented ' figures, the average cost of producing news print paper in domestic mills was less than $1.(55 per hundred pounds, or below the average cost in ? the past three years. The commission announces that, be fore issuing its reports( public hearings will be conducted and manufac'? turers, publishers and others interested given an opportunity to appear. No date is set for the hearings, hut the report is said to be ready to send to the press in the near future. Certain facts developed by the inquiry are made nublic now most of tho publishers' contracts for r%iper Hie about to expire. Contract prices rose this year from less than ' $2 per hundred to $ :> and $3.50, and "? on current market purchases the pub-I lishers have paid $7 or more for paper - bought in the same way prior ttf Jan-1 uary 1 for between $2 and $3. I Text of Statement. The statement follows: "The investigation of the advance in prices of news print paper which was undertaken by the federal trade commission by direction of the senate has been practically completed, and the ret port will be ready to send to the press in the near future. Considering the , large mass of data involved, the work has been done in an unusually short time. "This is about the time when negotiations for the renewal of a large number of contracts between newspaper publishers and news print paper manufacturers usually take place. The commission has, therefore, decided to make public immediately certain fundamental facts which have been established by the investigation. Some of the facts stated here have been ascertained through computatthns ^vhicfi have just been completed. No conelusions are drawn from these facts in this statement, such matters being reserved for the official report. Befofe e the report is issued the news print manufacturers, newspaper publishers ~ and other parties interested will be given opportunity to appear before the commission at a public hearing. Began Early in 1916. " "The price advance in news print . nanpr whinh nnnoainnoJ *u:~ : * , f vwuoiuaicu VIMS 111 V t* I J4,<i ~ tion began early in 1916, and has- conJ tinued down to the present. Most news print paper, probably abouc 90 per cent, is sold on contract for P periods of a year or more. Before the 1 price advance began contract prices 1 for news print paper were generally less than ?2 yer hundred pounds, f. o. b. mill. During the first half of 1916 contract prices for large quantities in ; some instances went as high as $9.50. Most of the contracts now in operation will expire within three or four months. "On current market purchase newspaper publishers have been paying 1 manufacturers and jobbers very much higher prices. Before January 1, 1916, current market prices ranged generally between $2 and $9 per hundred pounds, delivered, depending on quan_ tity, freight and other circumstances, but since that time they have gone up f as high as $11 or $7 per hundred I pounds for a considerable volume of j business, and even higher in exeen e tional instances. Manufacturers' Prices. "The average prices received by doi mestic manufacturers of print newspaper did not advance in anything like legree that current market prices j advanced, because most of the paper f was sold under contracts, previously s made. On the average, the actual net receipts of domestic manufacturers s for news print paper were less than 1 $2 per hundred pounds during the first | half of 1916. The average cost of manufacture of s news print paper in domestic mills was less than $32 per ton, or $1.65 per hundred pounds during the first half of 1916 as shown both by the 1 manufacturers' own cost sheets and by the costs as revised by the account; ants of the commission. Furthermore, thoSP /?Aofo r.l!~U*l.. 1 . wovo ntic .-> i^ iliy lower than the average cost in any year ' from 1913 to 1915. "Though the average cost declined t in the first half of 191fi, the market s prices of some of the materials of E5 manufacturers advanced and were un usually high. C Sulphite and Wood. "It should be noted that the most important materials which advanced V in price, sulphite and ground wood, 1 were produced by most of the paper t manufacturers without an increase in cost and not bought at market prices, - while some other manufacturers were - protected against the increase in prices by contracts. Some of the other ma terials which were purchased at ad- ] vanced costs were very small factors in the total cost. Certain economies were also practiced in the use of expensive material^. ^ "It is generally claimed in the trade that costs in the future will increase particularly on account of the scarcity of labor cost of bringing logs to the ( mills. This is necessarily a matter of prediction concerning which the commission expresses no opinion. "The quantity of news print paper produced by domestic manufacturers in the first half of 191(5 was somewhat greater than in any preceding half v year since the middle of 1913. The in- h crease in production was accomplished ii by running mills to full capacity. Re- / cently most mills have been operated v twenty-four hours ner dav for six o days per week. d Imported Paper. 11 " The quantity of news print paper q imported, which came chiefly from t Canada, equalled about one-third of I the domestic production and showed a s< great increase in the first half of i> 1916. The quantity exported also in It creased during this period, though the exports were small compared with im- n ports. The prices, however, offered by foreign buyers were high. s "The stocks of news print paper, l< which are very small in comparison t w'th the production, not only declined n during the first half of 1916, hut a'so n were lower than at any time during ti the year 1915. p "As there was a large increase in c production and imports, accompanied ii by a decline in stocks, while there was c only a small tonnage exported, it is tl evident that there was decided in- <? crease in consumption during the first n half of 1916. li Increase in Demand. S "An increase in the demand for n news print paper is also indicated by c< the f- -t that the sworn statement respecting the circulation of newspapers made to the Postoflice Department k generally show larger issues by the ci leading newspapers, and by the fact a that the number of .pages of the larg- ,p er newspapers have very generally in- a creased on account of large increases tj in advertising and news matter. si "Before the recent price advance, ei certain other grades of paper were g showing higher profits per ton than tl news print paper and there was a ir tendency to change from this grade tp other grades. This movement seems ti been checked for the present ti by the hierh Drices of newc r>rir>t nn- * . per. v Increased Production. u "Furthermore, it is stated that be- tl fore the end of this year four new a machines, two in this country and two r in Canada, with an aggregate dailv Sl capacity of about 160 tons will begin 0 operations on news print paper. e "It is not intended in this statement to make any prediction about the fu- S ture course of news print paper prices, hut merely to indicate some important facts to those interested in the buyilng and selling of paper in order ' that they may act more advisedly in making new contracts. Moreover, the facts shown here are confined to matters of a statistical character and do \ not cover other phases of the situation, including various trade activities of the news print paper manufacturers, jobbers and newspaper publishers. These questions will be a subject ? of further consideration by the com- * mission and some of them will be covered by the public hearing which, as already stated, the commission intends to hold in the near future."

Thousand Shots Fired?National (tuardsmen Ordered to Assist Police in Rouding F'p the Offenders. Everett, Wash., Nov. 5.?At least five men were killed and forty others were wounded today in a fight at the Everett city wharf between '250 members of the Industrial Workers of the World, who came here from Seattle on the steamer Verona, and a posse of 150 citizens, headed by Sheriff Don AlcKae. Sheriff McRao is anions the seriously wounded. The exact number of casualties aboard the Verona is not known here. After the shooting. in which about one thousand shots were exchanged, the Verona turned around and started back to Seattle. Many men were seen to fall en tin' deck of the Verona and other , panic-stricken. jumped overhoard. Some were taken from the water, but others disap; red and it is believer! they were dvown< i Opposed l.utuling. The Verona reached Kvere't shortly before 2 o'clock. The coming of the narty of invaders had been announced in messages sent to Everett from Se attle headquarters. A call to Industrial Workers of the World members from all over the State had been ' sued earlier in the week and the citizens of Everett, at a meeting held Saturday night, planned to meet the waders and deny them privilege of landing. When the Verona docked Sheriff MeRac. who was backed by a posse of deputy sheriffs and citizens, informed the men on the boat that they would not be permitted to land. One of the men, evidently spokesman for the party, began arguing with the sheriff and then made a speech. Apparently as a signal, the man dropped his hand and armed men on the steamer opened fire on the posse. The first man to fall was Sheriff McRae. seriously injured. One man was killed instantly and in a moment the crowd on shore was panic-stricken. Deputy sheriffs, however, returned the fire. Vessel Started Hack. Men on the wharf and on the boat were seen to fall and the Verona immediately started back toward Seattle. The trouble between the Industrial Workers of the World and the authorities at Everett has been on several months and was the outgrowth of a strike of shintrle weavers here. After several minor outbreaks of violence during the strike, Sheriff McRae organized the citizens' committee and expelled all members of the Industrial Workers of the World from Everett.

East week the "Industrial Workers," the official organ of the Industrial Workers of the World, in Seattle. announced that the forcible expulsion of men from Everett must be avenged and called for 2,00ft volunteers to go to Everett to establish the "right of free speech." "The fight must be won," said the paper, "as the whole future of the Industrial Workers of the World in this section depends upon the outcome. We want all foot-loose rebels in the West to center their attention upon Everett and the trust mill and logging properties. (let on the job and use your judgment."
