a Paper That Sets It's Own Value at Three
Giants

PORTLAND. Aug. 16-This morning the
newsboys inaugurated strike against the
Oregonian, which they refused to take out
al the old price. At 9 o'clock about 100
formed in line and marched through the
streets, carrying flags and trans parencies.
Several atte mpts were made to start out
boys with papers, but the boys were over
taken by strikers, who took their papers
away from them and destroyed them. The
boys bad been paying cents per copy.
They ask for reduction OF y cent.
The boys OF their banners carried the
statement that ''the Oregonian wants to
charge us 312 cents for a paper which it
sells to new sdealers for 2R cents"
The OregOnian management says this is
a wrong statement. The newsboys and
new sdealers are and have long been
charged alike-3 cents per copy-and no ad-
vance Is made or proposed 10 the boys.
The boys, besides, are allowed 10 return
unsold copies and have their money re-
funded. The Oregonian thinks that if i; Is
worth cents to sell the paper II is worth
cents 10 make it.
