Manufacturers of News Print Paper Indignant at Charges That Pub-
 fishers Are Being Squeezed.

Washington, May 2-Manufa ctur- CTS of news print paper in the United States and Canada, in a pe- tition filed today with the federal trade commission, declared they have been grossly misrepresented,' and demanded an early investigation of the industry such as was called for by a recent senate resolution.
 The resolution asked an inquiry into increases in news print paper prices and directed the commission to ascertain if United States news papers are being subjected to unfair practices in it's sale.
 The petition filed today by the News Print Manufacturers associa- tion, representing American and Can adian producers, asserted that 85 per cent. of the news print paper manufactured in the United States and Canada is sold on annual con- tracts and that contract prices have not increased more than one per cent. within the last 12 months and prices will not average more than the prices at which news print paper has been contracted and sold during the last ten years, although other paper prices have risen sharply.

lrnjtcd Mine Workers Meet.

Pottsville, Pa, May 2.--SeVeral hundred delegates were is attendance at the opening here today of the tri- district convention of the United Mine Workers of America, which, it was generally expected, would ratify the tentative agreement reached yesterday by the joint comittee of anthracite op- orators and miners in New York. One of the concessions granted the men the eight hour day, was put into effect at practically all the collieries through put the hard coal region today at the request of the miners, and this was taken as an indication that the agreement will be approved. Reports from many points were to the effect that the workers were satisfied their representatives had obtained all the concessions possible from the opera tor and anxiety due to possible strike was greatly relaxed.
 The first days session of the con- vention was expected to accomplish little more than an enrolment of the delegates, about 600 of whom were in attendance.

90,0OO CALLED OUT
 IN GARMENT STRIKE
President Says Workers Are Pre- pared to Stay Out All Summer

New York, May 2.-In retaliation for the lockout of 60,000 workers on women's garments, begun few days ago by the Manufacturers Protective association, the International Ladies Garment Workers union today ordered strike of all it's members in this city, whether employed in the shops be- longing to the protective association or in independent shops It is esti- mated that this order applies to 90,- 900 persons, including about 30,00O apprentices and others not already af- fected by the lockout. Strikers em- ployed at the so-called friendly shops, however, will return to work in twen- ty-four hours.
 Benjamin Schlessinger, president of the Employees Union said that the organization has more than $500,000 in it's treasury and is prepared to car ry the fight on all summer if neces- sary. Plans were made to station D. 900 piclkcts around the shops. It is estimated that the employees of nearly 2,000 factories will be called out.
 The chief question involved is wheth- CT the manufacturers shall be com pelled to dismiss from their employ workers who do not belong to unions or who refuse to pay their dues to the unions.
 Leaders of the Marine Engineers Beneficial association, who yesterday declared a strike of engineers of tug boats and steam lighters in the har- bor, say their demands have been granted by Q majority of the compan- ics affected and that the strike Virtu- ally will be over by tonight.
