2 More Unions Join
In Fight on Hearst
(In Sporting Parlance)

drop. Hearst papers or at least cut our
purchases to meet the demands of our
customers. Hearst would not listen
to this. His agents insisted that we
buy as many papers as we did before
people began refusing to buy them
from us. And when we refused the
other papers, with the exception of The
Tribune, backed up Hearst. If we did
not do as Hearst wanted we could not
have any papers, they said.
when the price of papers went UP
sales went down. and we have been
unable to make anythin" like decent
wage since. When we asked for bot
ter price it was Hearst who blocked
us. AS the largest publisher in the
sociation. They do as he Wills, and
with the exception of The Tribune all
have lined up with Hearst. He's the
big boss.
Relief Has Been Sought.
"We have tried in every way to get
relief. We asked arbitration. we have
sought in every way to avoid trouble.
When everything failed we struck
against Hearst. In that strike VIC ask
the support of every union man who
believes in a fair days pay for fair
days work, in decent working condi-
tions, and in freedom to refrain from
doing anything that tends to play Ger
many's game"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Stanton's
address this resolution was adopted
without debate:
Whereas, The newsboys and deal
ers of the greater city have been en-
deavoring to better their living con-
dltlons and have requested the pub
llshers Of the daily papers Of the
City of New York to grant them a
larger margin of profit in order to
enable them to meet the present high
cost of living; and
Hearst papers has been mainly in
strumental among the other publish
ers in the refusal to grant the news
boys their fair and just demands; and
Whereas. The Hearst agents have
adopted terrorizing and intimidating
methods against the newsboys in or
[ der to compel them to han lie papers
which they contend the public will
not buy for patriotic reasons; be it
Resolved, That Local 366, United
brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers OF America, hereby approve and
express their sincere sympathy with
the strike Of the newsboys of the
greater city, and not only pledge
their own moral support but call
upon all union workers to join them
and assist the ncwsboys in every
possible way"
Thomas Dalton presided at the meet
ing of Local 488. In introducing Mr..
Stanton he declared the newsboys are
entitled to the same square deal and
decent living that every other worker
Is entitled to.
The resolution adopted by this local

UNIQUE experience that leaves him

IN the boy $ last year at Ypsilanti when
he wrote to Mr.. Grawn. at that time a
teacher i'll the Plymouth schools, ask
ing for loan of $50.
Mr.. Grawn had never heard of the
boy since that time and had forgotten
about him and also the $50 until he
was reminded of it this week by re
ceivlng the 500 check to pay principal
and interest. The sender explained his
delay in paying the obligation by say
ing that he did not know the where
abouts of his former teacher until he
saw his name recently in a western pa
