Labor Club Votes
To Aid Newsboys
In Hearst Fight
Tile Layers Helpers Will
Support Paper Vendors
Against Publisher

The Hexagon Labor Club has tAen
its stand with other labor bodies in
indorsing the fight Of the newsboys of
the City Of New York against the
Hearst. papers for improeed working
and living conditions.
The club, local of the International
Union OF Tile Layers Helpers, took
up the case Of the newsboys at the
request OF their leader, Andrew Stan
ton, at a meeting at labor Temple,
st5 East Eighty fourth Street After
a RECITAL by Mr.. Stanton OF the abuses
suffered by his associates and plea
for support, the club unanimously
voted 80 assist the vendors and
adopted a resolution assuring them of
the moral assistance Of its members.
In presenting the grievances Of the
boys Mr.. Stanton pointed out that it
was impossible for his associates to
sustain Themselves or their dependents
decently under the present rate of
$40 per hundred for papers. The
reason for refusing them a little more
profit, and at first were generally will
ing to reduce the price Of the papers
to them. The publisher Of "The New
York American and "The Evening
Journal" however. he stated, fatty re-
fused to allow them the concession,
and prevailed upon the other news
paper propriotors, except The Tribune,
to follow his example. The Hearst
agents, he added, are also forcing the
boys to handle "The New York Amcri-
ID,, l.
pitc the fact that a great many people
resent the unpatriotic utterances OF
these papers and will not buy them.
The club, of which John Mouckton is
president, adopted the following reso-
luton:
"Whereas, Tho newsboys of the City
Of New York desire to improve their
working and living conditions. and to
that end have requested the publishers
Of the daily papers Of the city to allow
them little more profit SO that they
might be enabled TO meet the present
high cost of living; and.
Whereas. The SAID boys contend
that their fair demands were refused
them solely through the inhutnce of
the publishers Of 4 he New York Amer-
can and THE Evening Journal which
/ papers, the newsboys claim, they arc
being forced TO handle, although a
idi - par Oh t1S puUliC QeCllleS 10 pur-
chase them for patriotic reasons; and
"Whereas, The said newsboys have
struck against these two papers to at
tain their fair and Just ends; thercforec,
be it
"Resovcd. That the Hexagon Labor
Club-Local Union SO. of the Interna-
tional Uaion of Tile Layers Helpers
expresses its sympathy with and in
dorses the strike of the newsboys of
the City Of New York for decent lv-
ing, and as loyal labor organization
assures them Of every moral assist

Indictment Againnt League

some time ago the matter was sub
uisted to the grand jury, whose fore
man, if I remember correctly, was
Nicholas L. Stokes and the secretary
vas George, II. Pings, who did great
service on that grand jury. An indct-
ment against the Dairymen's League
was the result.
The investigation brought out many
facts, which, no doubt, if made public
would bring down the condemnation of
the whole community Oh the heads of
the distributors trust and the Dairy
mems League. The treasurer Of the
milk trust, SO I am informed, said that
thugs were hired to beat up indcpen-
dent dealers and their milk dumped
into the river in forcing such dealers 10
comply with the terms Of the milk
trust
IL am informed that John B. Stauch-
ployed by the milk trust to represent
the trust in court, with the result
that change of venue was granted to
some locality up the state and dis
missal obtained.
"Thc elected public officials of this
city owe an important duty to the peo-
pie in this most serious crisis, and if
I am not encroaching upon your pre-
negatives as prosecuting attorney Of
New YORK County ! would suggest that
you begin public inquiry before Chief
Magistrate McAdoo to the end that
proftcers in milk be brought before
the bar Of justice and sent to jail and
this conspiracy to exploit the people
I for profit be ended.
"My reason for suggesting that pro-
cecdings be begun before magistrate
is that they will be open to the public.
and when the facts are brought out no
judge will dare grant change Of venue
or a dismissal.o

Jail for milk profiteers," was the
burden of letter written yesterday to
District Attorney Swami by Mayor
Hylan.
The Mayor asked the District Attor-

At the same time he announced that
he had directed David Hirschheld,

gate milk profteers."
The results OF the Investigation O.
the Commissioner will be placed az
the disposal of the District Attorney
and the aid of any other city depart
ment, including the police, is at the
service of the District Attorney.
The Mayor said he understood the
price. of milk might shortly be in
creased TO 20 cents quart, and
complained Of the refusal of Food min
istrator Hoover to answer his letters
protesting against the price of milk
which had been fixed by Mr. Hoover

MILITARY TRAINING
is MADE AVAILABLE
TO BOYS UNDER IS

East Lansing, Oct. 9.-Boys who en-
roll at the Michigan Agricultural col
lege during the present fall and the
coming winter for the short Courses in
agriculture will be given chance to
acquire military training, an an
nouncement from M. A. G. declares.
An especial appeal is being directed
by the college to boys of from 16 to
1S, upon whom the country must de-
pend in the future for both military
and agricultural service. Daily drill
of the kind given to members of the
student army training corps will be
a part of the militarized short course
program.
every able bodied young man may
be called into the service of his coun-
try before the war is over. If he has
received some military training he
will be of more value and his oppor-
tunities for advancement will be
greater" says Ashley M. Berridge,
