It has also proven to the most skeptical that so-called free, trade or duty-free paper from | Canada can be controlled by the| middlemen. A Portland, Ore., card printing | house states that the cost of 100) ordinary cards 2 by 31% inches| has gone up fifty cents within) sixty days, and other stock in| proportion. If this is true the advance is_ outrageous and cannot be laid at} the doors of the manufacturers, but is the work of paper jobbing | trusts that control distribution. There is no doubt that news-| paper and job offices are being | | held up outrageously by some of | the firms that control the aid| bution of paper stock. More paper mills, more pro- |i duction, relief and labor short-| ‘lage, strikes and agitation! against capital are policies to be | = .| advocated, but the middleman’s | | robbery must be curbed.
