newspaper compositors as a whole are
against the "vacationists."
The Printers League yesterday is
sued the following statement:
Fair arbitration ov questions con-
cerning wages, hours and shop condi-

League to Typographical Union No. s.
1T has become evident that no agree
ment can be reached through concilia-

weeks of conferences to accomplish
anything. We have offered arbitration
throughout this time. but it has been
refused. The Printers League has sent
letter to Big g. announcing a deter
mination not to meet the committee

union is ready to submit all differences
to arbitration and the compositors are
back at their jobs. This letter should
be read at the Big g. meeting to-day.
There can be no other Interpretation
of this letter than that we are willing
to arbitrate if the men return to work

an American inventor has created a
seif-cieaning spark plug for the power
motor.
1--WE have every reason to believe
that these inventions will do much for
the transcontinental service when in
stalled. Heretofore the only argument
against, the aerial mail plane was that
railroads were more dependable than
flying machines for long hauls. that
planes could not make transcontinental
or long cross-country flights with a
surety of success, because the weather
might either delay the start or force a
landing on undesirable ground.
There was much in that argument
until wireless was called into play in
behalf Of the mail plane"
Mr.. Pracger contrasts the mail sery-
ice of this country with that Of Great
Britain. Here eight mail planes carry
an aggregate of 2,1OO pounds Of mail
daily and fly a total of 19o6 miles. In
Britain fifty-four government mail
planes carry mail daily. In addition
civilian contractors are carrying 4'75o
pounds daily in their own sirplanes'

Strike Ultimatum
Demand That All
Men Return to Work as
Preliminary to Arbitration
of All Questions at Issue

The meeting of Typographical Union
No. 6, called for this afternoon in the
Lexington Theatre, may prove the turn
ing point in the controversy that has
paralyzed the book and job printing
trade in New York during the last
seven weeks. The meeting was called
to consider the ultimatum of the
Printers League, the organization of
employing printers, that the employers
will not hold any further conferences
with representatives of "Bir 6" until
the 5000 "vacationists' return to
work.
On October "Big 6" passed reso-
luton ordering the "vacationists" back
to work, with which order the latter
failed to comply. The employers con-
tend that either "Big 6" has lost con-
faith. eNN
To-day's meeting will be important
IN view Of the fact that many members
of the union are demanding that the
union submit its demand for the forty
four-hour week and a $14 increase in
wages to arbitration. which the en-
ployers likewise insist upon. Hitherto
the union has refused to arbitrate tho
forty -four-hour week. 1t is understood
that the opposition will be supported
to-day by the compositor chapcls OF
The Tribune, "The Sum-" "The World"
and "The Evening Post" The com
positors of "The Times" are understood
to be divided

position also will oppose the proposal

OTTAWA, Nov. 15.-Viscount Jelli-
coe, of Scapa Flow fame, will arrive
in Ottawa November "a for an ex-
tended stay, to advise and consult with
Canadian officials on the future naval
defence of the British Empire. In Of
fetal circles, emphasis is laid on the
point that the admiral is coming, not
to dictate a naval policy for Canada.
but to discuss the whole question If

Pacific coasts, and the best methods
Of carrying out whatever policy may
be adopted.
In New Zealand the recommendations
of Viscount Jellicoe took the form of
contribution to the imperial navy,
involving an outlay of about $40,000,-
900. In regard to Canada, he has made
it plain, that whether this country con-
tributes to the imperial navy or estab-
fishes Canadian navy, the ships will
be in Canadian waters protecting the
coasts, but acting at all times in CO.
ordination with the British navy.
ITO my mind the British navy should
not be kept short of overseas squad

distribution and boycott would, to a
great extent, nullify the work already
done. | think we should not give the
distributor a single excuse for raising
prices on account of increased costs,
but should strike increasingly to force
him to conduct his business more
economically"
1t was planned to begin the strike
tomorrow and continue it every Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday until
prices were either lowered or the high
price explained.
Mr.. Williams in discussing his plan
for state regulation declared that milk
was a public utility as much as trans
portation lines Men Of the caliber Of
judges should be chosen, he declared.
"They would thoroughly investigate
conditions, costs of production and dis
tribution," he said. "They would make
their report, telling of the expenses of
farmers and dealers and recommending
prices to be paid.
"The farmer would be insured his
costs Of production, and certainly the
dairymen deserve adequate compensa-
ton The merchants who have built
up the milk businesses would also be
assured of proper remuneration. The
public would be assured, by the char
acter and intellect of the men on the
commission, that it was being treated
with justice.
There could be either regulated
monopoly or regulated competition.
Personally, l would favor competition,
for do not believe in monopolies, how
ever regulated.
"The milk prices could be either
definitely regulated or published in the
newspapers, just as fair food prices are
at present. The question of the dis
position Of milk surplus could also be
arranged by the commission. This
seems to me the only satisfactory solu
ton of the problem"

suit of his suggestion he will be called
upon to tell the Fair Price Milk Com

tor said last night that as a Federal
official he did not think he could enter
into the controversy, but added if he
could be of assistance he would gladly
close an eye to official ethics
Copeland Opposes Boycott
The need of a plan either to lower
the milk price or convince consumers
that the present costs are justified was
emphasized when Health Commissioner
Copeland, chairman of the commottee,
declared against the proposed boycott
by the community councils. This con-
sumers' strike had been recommended
at meeting of the Parliament of the
Community councils at the City Hall
Monday. A resolution was passed sug-
gesting to each Of the citys eighty
councils to have their members alb
stain from the use of milk, except for
children. 1t was expected by the spon-
sors for this plan that the distribu-
tors would be forced to reduce prices
to appease the strikers. DIR. Cope

effect

with the spirit which prompts this
form of protest" he said, 81 feel that
for several reasons such a boycott
would not accomplish the results de-
sired, but, on the other hand, might
result in burdens already carried by
the consumer.
"In the first place, the distributor
will not long do business at loss
and with the reduced volume of busi-
ness will charge more for deliveries to
those who must have milk. Any losses
sustained by distributors will GER
tainly have to be paid by consumers.
