derstand. if you want TO see who is
murdered in your own town, under
stand me, you are liable TO find a
couple OF lines about it most any
part OF the paper except in the first
four pages. and the consequences is
that people gets the impression
from reading the papers that a
strike in Berlin is ever so much
more important than a strike in
Hoboken for the simple reason that
as the Berlin strike cost the news
paper proprietor several hundred
dollars for cables. he put it on the
front page, whereas the strike in
Hoboken only cost him seven cents

and therefore il gets slipped in on
the eleventh page with over it the
headline: PLAN AMERICAN OR

as high up as the United States

stop? The first thing you know
/ the members of the metropolitan
club will be going on strike for q

But even when strikes had n,
foreign competition in the newspa

very few people outside the partie
