The special 'pmittee of the loose appointed on pplaint of the American Newspa- publishers' Association, to inves pte the woofl pulp print paper sii !on in relation lo the tariff, and h reeard to an allesd consplin restraint of trade, today sublim it a majority and minority report. ir;1( majority report recommends t no' legislation aff"rtinK wood (p and print paper be enacted until committee has finished its' inves jgtinn an i reported. The report Itlares the present price of print iffr would not to any considerable ree be affected by the repeal of ( tariff, and "as the passage of tiie jivens bill in its present form mislit itll ruin to the paper Industry and iult in ruinously high prices for Iper in the near future, your com ftue believes it the part of wls )Bi, before making recotnnienda for positive Initiation, tn fait until its investigation has been completed and thoronshlv digested " The majority report, which is sign ed by Representatives Mann, of Illi nois, Miller, of Kansas, Stafford, of isconsin. and Dannon, of Ohio is a preliminary report and recom mends titat no legislation affecting wood pulii and print paper be en acted until the committee has fin ished Its investigation and renorted. The minority renort. wiiirh l sign ed by Representatives Sims, of Ti-n-nss,v, urn! Ryan, of New York rec ommends the passage of the Siev ns bill to place wood pulp and print paper upon the free list. The majority report says: Witnesses appearing In behalf ,if the contentions of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association have been given respectful attention, and all statements and evidence pre sented by John Norris. who appeared as the special representative or that organization, were duly weig.ied. Not all publishers who offered to appear did appear, and there are many whom the committee would like to examine. In the tabulation schedules ivf newspapers hut ft'W met-: rnpulitan dailies seemed lo be the; Ilea iest consumers. i Krom these returns the average price at present, including in many i cases, freight charges, to 1 J news-! papers, is $:! ,ti per 100: that of" these 161 using paper in rills have an average price of $2. ".4. and rr.S have an average of J3.il 7 for paper in sheets. It seems probable that publishers paying high prices most readily re sponded to the inquiries of the commute-. 1'hile there appears to have been complaint on the part of paper manu facturers that the selling price of paper for 1S06 was too low to bo fairly remunerative, yet we are In clined to rhlnlthat It was not until the summer of I!n7 that there was a g"ner;Jncrease In the price of print paper. That a general Increase was in fact put Into contracts appears to be unquestioned. As to the charge of the existence of a combination In restraint of trai'e the report s:ys: "The evidence before the commis sion so far fails to prove any combi nation of print paper manufacturers to advanca prices or otherwise in re straint of trade, but considerable evl denc was presento.l which excites suspicion t'tat such a combination has been matte and is still in exist ence." As to the Tariff. "That the evidence taken so far PITTSBURG FIRM JN RECEIVER'S HANDS Pittsburg, May 2S. An Involun tary petition In bankruptcy was filed against lieorge W.
