them out in time, the citizens plan to
hin them on their coat lapels on Fourth
Of July morning 1t is agreed that the
place to wear them is just under the
Liberty Loan and Red Cros buttons.
Inc outton scheme was conceived on

ago by Nutley citizens on the way to
work in New York Threatening let
ters, written presumably by pro-Ger-
mans. which members of the Nutley
Battalion, New Jersey Militia Reserve,
received subsequent to the battalion's
declaration of war against Hearst
newspapers, were responsible for the
birth of the button idea.
The button, the originator of the
scheme pointed out, would be symbol
of defiance to whoever took exceptions
TO the action of Nutley citizens in TAX
ing steps to keep newspapers printed
in the German language and news
papers printed by William Randolph
Hearst out of town. Almost stimuli
taneously it was pointed out that such
a button also would serve to designate
Nutley citizens as non-Hearst readers
when they were visiting in other towns
or working in New York.
A subscription to buy the buttons was
started Immediately, and Lieutenant
Claude w. Boyntan, one of the militia
men among that group of commuters,
undertook to design the button.
Lieutenant Boyntan reported in favor
of q plain white background with the
words 81 DO NOT READ HEARST
PAPERS" in bold, black type. This
button, he said, would achieve the pur-
pose and could be purchased cheaply.
Citizens of other New Jersey towns
who ride on that commuters train
heard Of the button plan and asked to
be let in on it, The subscriptions of
these were accepted, and they will get
their share of the buttons.
Lieutenant Boyntan said yesterday
offered more than the nominal 81 there
would be more than enough buttons to
supply all of NAley and to give the
outof-town subscribers their share. He
said these extra buttons would be given
TO the out-of-town friends of Nutley
citizens who ask for them
Il hope the buttons will be ready so
we can wear them on the morning of
the Fourth of July" said Lieutenant
Boyntan, who is a New York insurance
broker. ut would be appropriate to
begin wearing them on independence
