Hylan Grants Hearst
Plea for Pushcarts
Mayor Orders End of War on
Pedlers at Solicitation
of the Editor

THE New York American," owned bv
William Randolph Hearst, IN an open
letter yesterday morning to Mayor
Hylan asked him to end the police war
on pushcart pedlers.
Mayor Hylan did just as he was
asked, as may be seen from the follow
ing statement isued last night:
After investigation | have requested
the Police Commissioner to permit
those engaged in making their living as
pushcart merchants to continue doing
business, subject to the following regu-
lations:
Under no circumstances is a push
cart to be permitted to stand within ten
feet IN either direction of a fire nv
drant.
Under no circumstances is push
cart to be permitted to stand within
one block on each side of a firehouse.
"Pushcart pedlers may operate on
one side of a street only. Our con.
struction of this is that, when the sun
makes 1t advisable, the entire number
of merchants may at the same time
move to the other side. This will give
the Street Cleaning Department an op-
portunty to clean the unused side, and
VIII make the passage of fire apparatus
"All the goods of pushcart pedle,
must be on his pushcart at all times
and not standing on the ~treet in boxes
or barrels. This restriction is made
because, in case of emergency, the
pushcarts should be in such condition
that they can rapidly be removed.
"a great deal of information has also
come to my attention concerning some
of the stores on the East Side which
are open Sundays for religious reasons
and permitted to be closed on some
other day.
81 want to have it clearly understood
that police officers must not induce &
merchant to violate the law so that he
can make an arrest. | expect the police
to be absolutely. fair with merchants.
Because of war conditions, the citi
zens of the city are having hare
enough time to get along, and it is m,
earnest desire to see that they are al
treated humanely."

Hawaii Knows Hearst's Jingoism
Hawaii knows the jingoism of a

is constantly sowing seeds of enmity

"Mischevous as is much of their
comment, the Hearst papers cannot be
greatly harmed by an effort on the part
of the purely local authorities to pre-
vent their sale here, the method fol-
lowed in New York. Hearst's San

with regular sale. The Federal au-

Hawaii Joins Anti-H Hearst Move
And Suggests Federal Action

The anti-Hearst movement is spread
ing around the globe. From New York
it stretched to the Golden Gate, and
now it has leaped to Honolulu
This became known here yesterday
when a copy of "The Star-Bulletin," of
Honolulu, reached New York. The pa
per contains an editorial protesting
against the jingoism of Hearst, who, it
declared, is using his papers for re-
marks that endanger the relations of
America and Japan. The editorial of
"The Star-Bulletin" says, in part:
Hawaii has more than passing inter
est in the trouble-making propensities
of the Hearst papers because of their
constant efforts to arouse hostility be-
tween the United States and Japan.
mot long ago, The Star-Bulletin'
printed statements by Sidney Gulck
concerning Hearst's anti-Japanese prop
aganda. And now there are new evi-
dences that the owner of newspapers
in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chi
cago, New York, Boston and elsewhere
is using the columns of his papers for
utterances which might gravey i'm
peril the friendly relations between
America and Japan.
Hearst's Astounding Threat
Colonel Roosevelt, who has taken
up the cudgels against Hearst with
characteristic vigor, recently, in a let
ter to Senator Poindexter, of Wash
ington, quoted this from a Hearst edi-
torial of March g.:
"'lf Great Britain cannot restrain her
special ally, Japan, from acts of ag-
gression inimical to our interests, we
can remove our ships and troops from
Europe and transfer them to Asia

astounding OF course, it is not the
expression of even the faintest shadow
OF national policy, but it is spread
