Roosevelt backs radical bill to curb Alaska coal holdings
Washington May 20 President Roosevelt argued a bill seen as the most radical yet of his administration.

The act also grants the government first claim on coal, threatening potential fuel shortages for the navy.

Committee Reports On Alleged Paper Trust
Washington May 30 The special committee of all members of the House appointed by the American Newspaper Publishers association to investigate the wood pulp and printing paper situation regarding tariff and alleged conspiracy in restraint of trade today submitted majority and minority reports. The majority signed by Mann Allhola Miller Kansas Stafford Wisconsin and Bannon recommends no legislation affecting wood pulp and printing paper until further investigation. The minority signed by Lima Tennessee and Ryan New York urges passage of the Stevens bill replacing wood pulp and printing paper on free rise, noting concerns that repeal may not affect prices immediately and could raise prices later. The report says there is no proven combination among paper manufacturers to fix prices but evidence suggests possible restraint of trade, with manufacturers denying any such agreements under oath.
