FRAYNE WOULD FORM
NEWS WRITER'S UNION
10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRsI


New York, Jan, ia union of
news writer's as one means to avoid
Misrepresentation Of labor in the daily
press, was suggested by Hugh Frayne
of New York, state organizer for the
American Federation of Labor, before
the labor publicity organization today
at it's annual meeting here.
Mr.. Frayne charged he had been
misquoted during the transit strike
here last summer and asserted that
the cause of labor was helpless in
sofar as New York City's press was
concerned. He added:
ut is a favorite diversion of some
of the papers here to refer to the
small labor press we have as revolu-
tionary and anarchistic, when as a
matter of fact is a thousand times
more conservative than any of the
metropolitan dailies, which want sem
sation and stories of destruction. If
anarchy comes to this country 1t will
be due to the papers which appeal
to and feed the taste of the people
who want that kind of news"
The organization set forth its OBJ
jects as follows:
'To aid in systematizing the pub
licity of the American labor move
ment to the end that all news shall be
more uniform, accurate and official
To aid in the publicity campaigns OF
the international unions. To deny
recognition or aid to any dual or Sc
cessionist organization

upwards of 200 are expected to testify
during the trial. Several of these,
however, have sent their dispositions.
The aged father of the defendant, Jo-
seph Spaniel, sat throughout today's
court proceedings with head bowed
and at times sobbed. The defendant
retained his composure.

phase of the situation may cause some
delay in the order for withdrawal.
