Aldrich Faulted Over Paper Prices and Wood Supply

A lengthy letter tabled in Washington on June 24, 1909, sharply rebukes Senator Nelson W. Aldrich for claims about newsprint costs. It cites testimonies from General Felix Agnus and the Providence Journal, noting $2.50 per hundred and a $5,000,000 annual rise in prices. The letter challenges Aldrich’s assertions on wood availability, sulphite pulp use, Canadian pulp imports, and census investigations, arguing a broader press misrepresentation and urging correction. It also covers related items on local strikes and accidents from Moline, Bettendorf, and surrounding areas.
