TUESDAY EVENING,
Newspaper Problem Grows
More Serious and Menacing
With Possibility of War
New York, April 3.- —a special bulle
tin from the headquarters of the Amer
ican Newspaper Publishers' Association
sets forth that "the prospect* for the
supply of future newsprint have grown
more serious and menacing:." The price
| itxed by the Federal Trade' Commission
has not met with the approval of the
; mills which had hoped for abnormal
profits to tide them over financial mis
: takes of the past. They are raising
objections and attempting In every
possible way to nullify the efforts of
the Federal Trade Commission. Against
a few favorable factors in the situa
tion there Is an increasing' demand for
news on account of the prospect of the
United States going to war which has
a growing tendency to boost the clr
| culatlon in spite of every device sought:
! to maintain it at a minimum.
■ The situation for the future resolves
I itself into a serious one for publish
| ers unless they are willing to put Into
effect at once very drastic economies.
| There is a shortage of 400,000 tons of
paper at present high figures. This
I shortage must be met by not only in
| creasing the price to two cents by all
newspapers, but also by cutting dras
tically the paper as supplied to the
publisher, livery publisher must seek
to i'ut twenty or twenty-five per cent,
of his present consumption and must
even go further than past economies.
The bulletin concludes with the state
ment that prospects for the future are
far from bright; in fact are really seri
ous.
One of the publishing authorities
says: "I am of the opinion that six
months hence the present price for
I print paper will seem low in compari
-1 son to the price that will prevail at
i that time. The newspapers that are
wastefully and incompetently managed
| will undoubtedly have to close up
I shop, and even the best managed penny
I papers will operate at a tremendous
loss."

Postal Savings System and
Money Order Department
Work Is Growing
Unprecedented strides in the postal
savings system of the Steelton post
office during this year are due to the
influx of Southern negroes brought
here to work in the local plant of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, according
to Postmaster M. M. Cusack, this
morning, lie also stated that the
money order'business has greatly 'in
creased.
Business in the savinss system de
partment has increased fifty per cent,
over that of last year at this time. The
foreigners and southern negroes are
the largest depositors in this depart
ment, Postmaster says, be
cause they money is safe
with the Government.
Although foreign buiness in the
money order department has fallen off
considerably, the increased domestic
business has more than made up.
Kecords in this department so far
have surpassed all previous ones.
The incoming foreign mail which
had been very small for sometime is
slowly increasing. Most of this mail
comes from Austria.
J. Karl Keim, a clerk in the post
office is ill at his home in South
