How Magazines Would Be Hit.
Speaks for Small Papers.

Arthur Dunn. speaking for the small
er newspapers of the country yester-
day afternoon, said they could not
stand the increase in postal rates, with
the increased cost of print paper, and
that many would be compelled to go
out Of business If the bill was enacted.
A similar view of the situation was
taken by Arthur J. Baldwin of New
York. vice president of the Associated
Business Papers, Incorporated. and
representing. SOC trade and business
periodicals.
J. A. Moore of New York. represent
ing the Periodical Publishing Associ-
alton. composed Of eighty-six Of thu
leading magAxfnes. said the Increase
would mean an added expenditure Of
more than 100000 -ia postage to
members OF that organization and
ruination for many Of them.
E. C. Meredith Of Des Moines, repre- :.
senting farm papers, said there was no
hesftancy on the part Of publishers to
pay war taxes.
I'VE will give the government all
the money that 1t IL in our power to
give, up to our last dollar. but we do
protest against our business being
ruined" he said.
We feel that at this critical time the
govsrnment needs the circulation Of
every printed page possible. Excepting
the railroads alone. there IL no instru-
mentality so important in this crisis as
the publications Of the country.

RUIN IN WAR TAX
Show Finance Committee
Postage Increase Would Ex-
ceed Their Earnings.
HOUSE DEBATE NEAR END

The war tax bill provision greatly to
increase postal rates on newspapers
and magazines was under fire again
today in Congress. In the House gen.
eral debate on the bill was nearing its
final stages, while before the Senate
finance committee newspaper publish
ers continued their attacks on the post
al rates provision Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
OF Labor, presented the protest of the
labor press.
The publishers opened their books to
the committee. to show that the pro-
posed increases are, even In the case
of the strongest newspapers, IN excess
of the average earnings for the past
hve years. Coupled with the tremen-
dous advances in the cost OF print
paper and the extra taxes on telegraph
and telephone messages, any increase
whatever in second-class rates would
burdens out of all proportion to any
other industries in the nation, 1t was
said.
How Magazines Would Be Hit.
The publishers of eighty-six of the
largest and most influential monthly
and weekly magazines stated under
oath that their average earnings for
1916 were only $4,000 each. whereas
the increased postage bill charged to
these magazines under the proposed
rates would be in excess Of $4,000
each.
The increase in rates levied on the
few survivors of this strain, they said.
would have to be passed on to the
reader not merely in the form of high
er subscription rates, but as an in
creased advertising tax on many
articles of food apparel or toilet and
household use.
Suspension of publication by maga-
zines, in addition, would throw out of
employment thousands who have de-
voted their lives to the printing. en-
craving. electrotyping and allied trades.

Fourteen-year-old Katie, a typical
little mother" Of the tenements, has
a lively time with her young charges
during the hours Mrs. c., their mother,

Jimmie and Joe may look like cher
ubs. but IL is doubtful whether cher

complish. There il scant time for play
for the "little mother" for ever since

family became totally blind, and Mrs

courageous young shoulders, Katie has
been busy helping with the multi

orty, Mrs. G.. has held fast to her deter
mination TO keep and make home for
the remaining four, She has worked
day In and day out In her efforts 70

ganization Society Is most anxious TO
make the burden lighter by paying the

Municipality Owned Sales
Places Reduce Prices,
Cities Report
SOME EVEN BELOW
THOSE OF STORES
State Bureau Is Informed
Establishment of More
Is Desirable

Albany, Jan. 1.-THE experience Of
American cities with municipal public
markets shows that they reduce the
cost of living and that they can be
established and operated without cost
to the taxpayers Of q municipality, ac-
cordng to a bulletin made public TO-
day by the State Bureau OF Municipal
Information.
This shows that the thirty-six cities
which have submitted data have four
Wholesale markets, thirty-four retail
markets, nineteen combined wholesale
and retail markets and thirty-six curb
markets.
twenty-five Markets Self-Sustaining
twenty-five cities report that their
markets are self-sustaining. One
other says its market is usually self
supporting, and another that it is not
when interest, taxes and depreciation
are taken into account. In seventeen
cities the annual income is greater
than the annual cost of operation,
maintenance and all overhead charges.
The cities report that these markets
have brought about startling results
in reducing prices. Sixteen cities re-
port that the averages of the munich
pal markets are lower than those Of
retail stores. Five others say that
the prices are the same. Auburn. ".
Y, and St, Louis report that there is
very little difference in prices.
Jacksonville, Fla, says that the
prices compare favorably, and Sacra-
mento, Tacoma and Detroit assert that
il there is a variation it fsvors the
markets. Wilmington and Duluth are
the only cities which report that mu-
nicipal market prices are higher.
Twenty-one cities call their markets a
success.
In answer to the question, would
you advise city to establish a mu-
nicipal market as one means of reduc-
ing or preventing an increase of the
cost Of living, provided the food sup
ply is nominal7" twenty cities in
formed the bureau that they would.
Only two answered in the negative.
Brief experience" said Salt Lake
City, "justifes advice to institute
market as one means 10 prevent in
crease in cost Of foodstuffs."
Fourteen cities in New York State
have municipal markets." said William
p. Capes, director of the bureau. "Of
these six have reported to the bureau
that nrices in their markets are lower
than in stores"

TAXI FIRM QUITS;
STRIKE SPREADS
MasOn-Seaman Co. RetireS
from Business-Club Co.
ChauffeurS Walk Out

One taxicab company-the Mason
Seaman Transportation Company,
which had been in the hands of re-
ceivers for about eighteen months
discontinued business. and three other
concerns have suspended operations
on account Of strike among their
chauffeurs.
When W. Bundy Cole, president OF
the Black and White Cab Company,
refused on Wednesday to discharge an
inspector against whom the chauffeurs
had a grievance, the trouble started.
More than $50 Of the drivers for the
company put their cars in the garages
and quit.
Later 500 chaureurs Of the Mason
Seaman Company and $50 drivers for
the Town Taxi Company struck for a
ten-hour day at 80 cents an hour. They
had been receiving rs cents an hour.
The drivers OF the Club TaXicab Com
pany, a subsidiary of the Town and
Black and White companies, also
struck yesterday afternoon for more
pay.
After a conference held between
three Club company chauffeurs, John
J. Phelan, of the State Department Of
Labor. and Mr.. Cole. at 316 East Sixty
third Street, Mr.. Cole said that tho
company would not meet the demands
of the men. but that they could re
turn to work at the same rate-25
cents an hour which they had been
receiving
The Mason-Seaman company, ii is
understood, intended going out Of
business. and merely took the step
sooner, on account of the present diff
fculty.
As a precautionary measure against
violence, Chief Inspector Schmittber-
ger has placed police guards at vari-
Gus garages. The affected companies,
however, have no intention OF trying
TO run cars.
The taxi-travelling public is not
as Inconvenience as one might expect
There was some difficulty at clubs, no
tells and terminals yesterday morning,
but by afternoon independently owned
taxicabs in sufficient number to ac-
commodate those who wanted them
were lined up at the hotel and club
stands Four-wheelers and Anticipated
hansoms were noticeablv more in de-
mand than under ordinary circum-
stances.

Dir. Rockefeller said that the time

would eventually be regarded as an
important part of college courses
which aimed to fit men for business

So these two great forces have come
too often to think that their interests
are antagonistic, and have worked
against each other, each alone seeking
TO promote it's own selfish ends.
Forces Must Be Partners
81 cannot believe thai the success
of one must depend upon the failure
or lack of success OF the other. Far
from being enemies, these two forces
must necessarily be partners. Surely
their interests are common interests;
the permanent wellbeing OF neitner
can be secured unless the other also
is considered; nor can either, attain
the fullest possibilities OF develop

they 20 hand in hand. Only when the
industrial problem is approached from
the point of sview of hrm Dellet IN
this doctrine is there any nope OF

between these two forces.
Mr.. Rockefeller alluded to the Colo
RADIO Industrial Plan after his visit
IN the mines. This, he said, had been
