Cost of White Paper Sparks Industry Alarm
An investigation into the high prices for white paper roils publishers and manufacturers, with warnings that paper shortages could force smaller papers to cut pages or suspend publication. Major publishers plan to reduce page counts while debtors are cut off from returns. Separately, Methodist union talks begin after a meeting at Tate Springs, Tenn, with 25 delegates from each side, and Free Range Democrats nominate a legislative and country ticket opposing the stock law.
