Letter Sent to N. Y.
Papers by Counsel
For NelUsdealers

The Tribune is the only ne1os-
poper that has been printing the
noars of the ne'usdcalers' fight
against Hearst, the Hyln1 admin
istration and the Publishers As
socintion. This fact is emphasized
in the folloaci,,g letter Of record ad-
dressed yesterday, not only to The
Tribune but to the other ncaOs-
papers, by Lemuel E. Qu'gg, conn
sci for the neWsdealevs:
New York, Aug. %, 1918.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In ordinary controversies be-
tween one citizen and another efforts
to thrash them out until they come
before court of competent jurls-
diction are of little avail, but with
the controversies that involve public
rights and public duties there is
difference. | have been retained by
associations incorporated and as
sociations merely voluntary and by
number Of newsdcalers in respect of
a notice that has been handed out to
newsdcalers indiscriminately, as it
appears, not particularly addressed,
not with Identification served, but
telling them under the typewriter
signature Of the Commissioner Of
Licenses that he has had complaints
that they are not serving the public
as was contemplated when a license
was granted to them by the city and
that unless this condition is remedicd
steps will be taken looking toward
the revocation of their licenses.
This matter concerns the business
of the newspapers with the newsdeal-
ers, the relation Of the newsdealers
TO the city government and the duties
OF the ncwsdealers and the city gov
ernment to the public. Will you per
nit to me, on behalf of the news
dealers, tho publication in your COL
umns Of how they represent the mat
ter to me, us their counsel?

raised the price of their product 100
per cent it resulted in n great loss

say that customers who previously
had taken three or four papers there
after bought only one, and they say
that the allowance made to them of
the increased price did not ut all

them and telling them that unless
they sell Hearst papers their licenses
will be revoked, and color is given
to this by communications in type
written form that my clients have
handed to me purporting to be signed
by the Commissioner of Licenses and
by the Commissioners of Parks.
Some Of these newsdealers tell me
that these communications are not
actually delivered to them, but are
only read to them, the person who
reads them taking them away with
him.
But there seems to be no doubt
that, Mayor Hylan has so construed
the law relating to licenses as to
make X mean that the newsdealers
must offer the Hearst papers for sale
Or that their licenses will be re-
voked, and they tell me that Hearst
will give them his papers only under
certain conditions of preference, and
that to those conditions of prefer
cnce their customers very widely
object.
Now, without talking about court
proceedings in the event of revoca-
tion of licenses, IS not this a matter
that calls for your consideration and
matter which you ought to let your
readers know about by printing this
letter? II my clients, considerable
host in number. are misrepresenting
The facts to me, you are in excellent
position to expose that misrepresen-
tation. But, carefully expressed,
am telling you what they say, and
there are 80 many of them and their
relation to the public is so impor-
tant that, whether you differ with
them or not as to the facts, | bring
to you the question whether you
should not print this letter, just as
you would print news Of a similar
sort affecting the interests of gar
ment makers, steel workers, street
railroad employees or any other great
sclass Of the community
I respectfully request that my let
ter be printed in your paper at your
earliest convenience.
Faithfully yours,
LEMUEL ELY QUIGG.

'The administration Of this law is
in good hands, says the writer OF
the article. Experience is indica ting
more and more clearly that the plan is
good, not merely because teachers
need it or deserve it, but because the
schools need it and demand it,"
Our law contains the provisions
which, after many earlier expert
ments, have been found to be the
wisest and most practicable" says
the writer. "The same type Of law is
now in force in many other states
several of them having adopted it
since its enactment in North Da-
kOta.
The Educational Institutions.
"When the law providing for the
retirement and annuities Of tEach-
ers in the common, graded and high
schools Of the state was enacted, it
was not made to include teachers in
the educational institutions-or even
the state superintendent of public
instruction-who could comply with
and fulfill all the prescribed condi-
tions or such others as might be
provided. 1t was then probable that
other agencies like the Carnegie
Foundation would come to the rescue.
But since that time this prospect
has disappeared. Why should not
those in the educational institutions,
or others. like the state superintend-
ent, who have spent twenty or twenty
five of the best years Of their life in
the services of the state, become ben
eficiaries also of the retirement fund.-
1t could be guarded in every possible
way and still leave room and oppor
tunity for the retirement, on a small
allowance, of the few in the education
al institutions, who comply with all
the conditions, as well as of the few
who do so in the common school sys-
tenn. Here is problem for the future
