recommending government operation

what It calls the defiant attitude of
print paper producers has been filed
by the senate printing committee. It

commission's findings "show beyond
any question that the print paper In
dustry, In Its desire for excessive
profits, had Imposed a most unjust
burden on the American press, which
faces a serious disaster if relief can
not speedily be had from the oppres
sive prices now exacted for print
paper."

recent investigation, exhausted every
resource at Its command to obtain
relief for the publishers, but has
been able to get only a small meas
ure of relief, owing "to the defiant
attitude assumed by the present pro
ducers of print paper and lack of
authority of the commission to en
force Its 'finding as to fair and reas
onable price."
