PLAN TO DOWN NEWSBOYS.
HIRING MEN At 90 DAY AND 20
CENTS A HUNDRED PAPERS.

OF the strik ing newsboys because there were
no evening papers to sell and consequently no
scabs to lick. Park row was peaceful. although
In the morning and again in the afternoon the
boys came together to talk things over and
make plans for the new week. and occasionally
became 80 enthusiastic that they had to let of
steam by cheering their leaders and the cause.
Tho m onster parade which was to have como
of on Saturday night. but which the police OF
the Oak street station broke up. has been fixed
for this morning. A meeting to arrange the
details was hastily called. and at 3 o'clock yes
terday morning there were 500 boys In front OF
the Tribune building facing Kid Blink. Some
OF the boys thought tho parade ought to be In
the evening. but Kid Blink is a far-seelng
leader and addressed them as follows:
Do bigger dis p'rade is" he said. de
bigger success II is. II we prade In de morn
ing we kin all go out. cause It's before do
evening papes come out and nobody cant be
detained by business. Den again dyer re-
member what happened when few OF us went
down into Wall street de oder day? Didn't
We get more nlckels and dimes In than we've
had since? We want de business men with
us il we're gon' ter keep dis fight UP. and
ter git 'em we must p'rade down deir way. So
/ say we start out from here about 3 or 0
o'clock and go all trough the lower part OF de
city II we want ter prade again uptown
where dc lodies kin see us. we kin do 1t In dc
evening"
Mr.. Blink's reasoning found universal favor.
and so the parade will be held this morning.
The success Of the parade will depend much on
the attitude Of the police. IL they make an
other descent like that OF Saturday night. the
parade will probably have difficulty in getting
under way. A collection was TAKE up Mt yes
terday mornings meeting and 1t amounted to
a Nl.s Il
for 1000 circulars. and IL was voted at once
to use the money for that purpose. A rough
draft Of tho circular was made and taken
around to an east side printing office. the pro-
prietor OF which agreed TO work all day in
order to have tie circulars ready for hc parade
this morning. Every boy, In line will have a

they found young man wallowng in unso!d
baseball extras. The young man closed the
door when all were bled and then ad-
dressed the applicants as follows:
Gentlemen. as you know. the newsboys
have refused to sell our PAPERS Their do

telling you that The Sun is back OF this strike.

satisfied with these terms step forward and
sign their names"
Sixty-eight men turned around and walked
out Of the place. The young man called to
them to come back, but they laughed at him.
Seven stayed behind and signed. 'rhs strikers
yelled with glee when they heard OF all this
and announced that they were ready to treat
with the seven as fast as they put in an appear

They say they are able to make almost az
much money on the sale Of papers as they did
when tho World and journal were also on their
lists. In addition they got many tips from
citizens who are encouraging them to keep up
the strike.
