Paper Board Combination is Indicted Bills Are Returned Against Associa- tion and Each of 140 Indi- viduals Composing It. NEW YORK, Jan. .—Another paper asso- ciation, formed by John H.

The company I8 the Paper Board association, comprising 140 prominent paper manufacturers, who are indicted individually in addition to the in- dictment returned against the assoclation &8 such. A fine or imprisonment may be imposed on conviction. Today's indictment is but one of many ramifications of the Investigations the gov- ernment instituted against the paper manu- facturers. The conviction of Parks brought about the dissolotion of the Fiber and Manila assoclation, whose members were fined §2.000 each, and the action against the Paper Board association is following similar lines. A third directed against news print manufacturers is now before the srand jury. Ninety of the defendants named in to- day's Indictments were represented In court this afternoon and on behalf of all ‘@ plea of not gulity was entered, with permission to withdraw it in three weeks.

Rigld rules bound the members of the assoclation to adhere to prices agreed upon, according to the wording of the indietment. It recites that the association was organ- imed in 1906, with headquarters in New York, and that prices were fixed &t the quarterly meetings. These prices were not to be departed from except by unanimous vote. The amount of trade each member was to enjoy was carefully apportioned, Wwhile a liberal tax was levied to pay the expenses of the assoclation. The prices, it Is further charged, were greatly In excess of prices that would have been fixed by natural competition, thus levying “an unlawful tax upon the people of the United States, amounting to $7,000,000 annually.” May Woman Hold" County Office? tnelude only in Indiana, West Vir Cherry County Case Involving Treas- urership Likely to Become Famous Suit.
