PENNY NEWSPAPER is MENACE TO WORKERS
-ADXERTISERS CONTROL, SAYS UNION HEAD

BdlLlmOTe, Mos5 NOV. L. - WnHei
union Iaboris preparing for its COM
ing battle with Big Business a sharp
eye will be kept on the controlled
press of the country. No speech in
yesterdays eventfuI proceedings of
the convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor made a more pro-
found impression than the warning
of w. S. Carter, pres. of the Brother
hood of Railway Firemen and En-
ginemen, that 'Ithe greatest danger
that confronts WorkingTnen today is
the coercion or subonation of the
public press by the master class"
Carter held his big audience in rapt
attention while he drove home the
fact that newspapers were never
more dependent upon the big adVer-
Users than they are at the. present
time.
Carter said the greatest curse of
the Iaboring man is the penny news
paper. He cited figures to show that
newspapers lose money by selling at
one cent and that they are thrown on
the mercy of the advertisers and
therefore have to play the Big Bust
ness gan1ein every labor crisis.
"The coming of the penny news
paper" said Carter, has done more
than anything else to place the press
under the domination of advertisers.
Unfortunately, labor has but little to
do with advertising practically all
the advertisements come from the
master class.
when the railroad brotherhoods
began the 8-hour movement over a
year ago the newspapers treated us
halfway fairly. Shortly afterWard
a few miIhonaires in New York who
direct the affairs of all the railroads
of the country undertook one of the
greatest publicity campaigns the
world has ever witnessed. They lit
orally threw money at the heads of

and began attacking the 8-hour day.
It was a clear case of selling out. And
this coming year, which is going to
be the all-important year to union
labor, will find the press more con-
troIled than ever before. White pa
per, metal, ink and overhead expens-
es have increased. The publishers
will have to dance to the whip of the
advertisers or go down to failure
Referring later to the advertising
campaign staged by the railroads,
Carter said: 81 have positive infOr-
nation from one of the leading adj
vertising agencies that provision was
made to advertise in 5000 daily and
$4,000 weekly papers. Think of it
many millions of dollars worth of
advertising to prejudice the minds of
the public against the brotherhoods.

DISPLAY OF FLAG
Observance of June IA By Schools and
Citizens Generally Over the

Widespread Expression of Patriotism
Especially Desirable Because
of World War Situation.

Springfield, H., May 11.-Especial
emphasis is to be paid to Illinois pub
| lie schools observation of Flag day,
June IA. Literature suggesting suit
able ways to celebrate the day is to
be distributed by the department OF
public instruction.
| A proclamation signed by Govern
or Dunno was issued today by Will

or The proclamation follows:
81 urge that citizens observe the day
in all parts of our state in a betting
manner and that the national emblem
be displayed upon our public build
ings. school houses, business houses
and home on June IA.
81 also recommend that Flag day be
observed by the participation of the
citizens in such ceremonies as are ap-
propriate to the occasion and that
each citizen wear small flag in honor
of the day"
1.-THE governor is particularly anx-
ious that patriotic holidays be OBJ
served in Illinois at this time" said
Mr.. Sullivan today, because Of the
international situation and the conse-
quent desirability of widespread ex-
preston of patriotism by the people
| of the state"
Institutions Criticized.
In a letter from Joel Hunter, chief
probation officer of the juvenile court
of Chicago, who represented a COM
mittee of citizens, the state board OF
administration says the board is pre-
pared to take care Of all feeble minded
persons committed by the courts at
the Lincoln state school and colony.
In the letter from Mr.. Hunter,
which was signed also by Chief JUS
tice Harry Olson, of the municipal
court of Chicago, Mrs. Harry Hart,
Maurice D. Lynch and w. S. Reynolds,
it was suggested that steps be taken
to provide temporary quarters in other
state charitable institutions until more
buildings can be erected at Lincoln
The letter said that 'unquestionably
there are hundreds of feeble minded
persons in the state of Illinois who
should be provided permanent custod-
iaI care for their own protec-
ton and to protect other
people from their crimes and delln-
quencies."
Institution Not Crowded.
In the boards reply, which was
written by direction of the president
Fred Kern, it was stated that state in
situations are not crowded and thai
the state is fully prepared to take care
of all feeble minded in a proper man
ner.
"Rumors are being circulated dill
gently throughout the state and es-
pecially in Chicago that the state has
failed to provide adequate facilities
for the education and treatment OF
feeble minded persons entitled to the
benefits of state home and school,
said Mr.. Kern. THE state has made
ample provision for these cases and
anyone who says the contrary is true
is badly informed"
