Paper Trust Is Drowned Government Wins Suit
The United States government won a decisive victory in a long Sherman Act case in the U S circuit court at St Paul Minnesota. The General Paper company and 23 paper makers across Wisconsin Minnesota and Michigan abandoned their answers and consented to a decree in favor of the government. Contempt fines were paid by three witnesses who refused to testify, and the decree sets June 16 to settle its form. The ruling boosts newspaper publishers by restoring paper price competition from about 2 25 to 4 35 per hundred to around 1 85, ending the paper trust era.
