    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising. As a result, newspapers have struggled to replace print revenue with online revenue, and print advertising continues to be the primary revenue source for local journalism. If Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper are subject to duties, prices in the whole newsprint market will be shocked and our supply chains will suffer.

EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION 15 "GALVESTONIANS VIEW IMMIGRATION, 1875-1914" hy Barbara J. Rozek Galveston has seen itself first and foremost as a port city. Its geographic position dictated this view of life and provided the driving force that made Galveston the premier city in Texas during much of the nineteenth century. As a port city, commerce and transportation remained the focus of business and influenced most of the daily activity of the city. While primarily concerned with the current of goods flowing into and out of the port, the tide of people became a major interest as well. For Galvestonians, whatever encouraged or helped the commercial flow of "things" was good for the city. Thus the stream of people through the city was perceived as also good for the city. Immigrants were greeted with a positive eye. Immigration involves a steady movement of people from one place to another.
