UNCLE JOE IS ROASTED

Newspaper Publishers Make j Some Unkind Remarks About Him and Two Others. PRINT PAPER PROBE A SUSPECT Opinion Molders Declare It Inspired i in Bad Faith. Also That the Sudden Vigilance Shown la Suspicious in View of Kecent Actions of •t the Leaders, » At the meeting of the American •which has just closed In Now York City, a resolution was adopted thanking President Roosevelt for bl* “kindly and courageous” message 'n favor of free pulp and print paper. Another resolution was adopted which reads as follows: “The American Newspaper Publishers' . association, comprising representatives of daily newspapers printed in every section of the country, and gathered in annual convention, protests agalst the subterfuge just designed by Speaker Cannon and Representatives Payne and Dalzell, creating a committee on pa per Inquiry, and thereby blocking th? Stevens bill for free paper and free pulp. “Inspired in Bad Faith.’’ “We charge that this device was Inspired in bad faith. Since early in December, 190”, a committee of this body has been clamoring at the doors of the ways and means committee for an opportunity to show that the power of illegal combinations of pupermAkers to raise paper [trices and effect thereon existing tariff restrictions. Messrs Payne and Dalzell have repulsed all such efforts. The speaker of the house has turned away his face whenever any member tried to raise the issue on the floor of the house. Now They Are Amazed. “We are now amazed to find that Messrs. Cannon, Payne and Dalzell have changed their tactics and avow a desire to study the tariff phases of this paper question. They say they want the whole matter investigated thoroughly, though they know that such Inquiry will carry over the entire proposition to the next session of congress. They now pose as champions who have been eagerly asking for that which for fonr months they had the power to refuse and which they did, refuse. “With Utmost Respect” Etcetera. “With the utmost respect and defer•nee for the authority of congress wa respectfully state that we mistrust the committee Just appointed. We challenge the intentions of those who have thus far succeeded in side-tracking the Stevens bill. We charge that action on the Stevens bill has been delayed to the advantage of a combination of paper-makers who. in a desperate effort to maintain artificial prices on a deellngin market, have shut down nearly 00 per cent of their mills, and who by throwing into idleness a considerable

number of their employes ha.ee siiowri* the insincerity of their professions that the tariff duty on paper was needed to protect that paper.”

We are powerless in this matter of sending the papers, understand, to delinquents, and if we have been obliged to miss sending the paper to a few subscribers since April Ist, do not blame us for It; we would have continued , to send it but for this postal order. If any desire the back numbers when renewing in order to get the most interesting part of the serial story now running in The Democrat, they have but to so indicate in remitting and they will be promptly mailed to them.
