she Dresses Plainly.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am eighteen. and am considered
nice looking. 1 work In a depart
ment store and give almost all my
wages TO the support Of the family.
What I have left I dress on very
plainly, but am always considered
neat Whenever any OF the girls
ask me to go out I always refuse,
because think to myself they will
all be dressed up, and will be
dressed plainly. miss many pleas
ures on this account.
Whenever 1 90 out young men al
ways take a fancy to me. They al
ways leave the girls that are dress
ed we'll and ask II they may have
the pleasure OF seeing me home, and
IL they may come to see me? al
ways refuse and think to myself
haven't good enough clothes % so
out. l am a very quiet girl. Folks
tell me have got q nice disposition.
Everybody always talks about what
a nice girl am. Please kindly ad-
wise me about this, whether should
go out with the clothes I have, Or
wait until get higher wages and
save enough money for better
clothes? n. z. W.
Why worry about clothes and
refuse invitations on account Of
them, when, as you say, the young
men leave better dressed girls and
offer to escort you home?
Certainly / should appear as
we'll as possible and accept more
invitstions-youth Is the time TO
apjny yourself.

A TRIANGULAR AFFAIR.

Almost a year ago he went into the
service and has been in France a
little over six months. In that time
I have received but one letter from
him. He has told another friend OF
mine, also in France, that he has
written a great many but didn't
seem to be able to get them through.
have never been formally en-
gagged to this young man. but we
went quite steadily together and
every one has taken IL for granted
AS he was from a Western town
he left all Of his belongings at my
home and I feel as IL l should wait
for him, and think he expects me to.
Could you advise me the best way
to get rid Of that feeling when I
really don't think I am sincere? I
am afraid 1t is the idea OF hurting
him that is making me think of him
against my will. Please tell me
what you think of this situation.
and oblige, DOUBTFUL
You and the young soldier seem
to have drifted apart since he sail
ed for France, and neither of you
can be held responsible. It would
appear II he cared for you In the
right way he could have succeeded
in writing letter that would have
got past the censor. On the other
hand you have met young men
whom you feel are more congeniaL
These things taken in connection
with the fact that you have never
been formally engaged would seem
to leave you both free.
Perhaps il you see the young
man again the situation will auto
matically clear itself. The fact
that he has left belongings in your
care does not commit you in any
way.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


I am engaged to a young man,
who for years went continually
with and was engaged to another
girl. They quarreled about his go
ing home from office with me. She
asked him not to do it as we all
three worked in the same office
and it made it embarrassing for her.
They made up and he promised to
stop going home with me and also
promised to come to see her the next
night, but instead he came to my
house without even calling her up
and breaking the engagement. He
told me this, and the next day we
three met in the office and she ask
ed for an explanation. He told her
he did not care for her any more,
and told all the people in the office
about the quarrel. Well, in a month
was engaged to him and still am.
At the time thought it great to
have "cut" her out, but now l see
how little we both are, in being
participants in such a nasty deal.
While she has raised herself in
every ones estimation by acting
just the same to me as before this
affair happened, and saying nothing
but good about both OF US, it has
made me feel as though I should
break the engagement, though OF
course we both love each other.
Before she started to go with him
he drank, but now his morals are Of
the best and every one who knows
him attributes the change to the
girl
It has hurt me to write this, but
il is the truth and what do you
think IL best to do?
NJ. l.
am very glad you have come to
a realization of the "other girls"
fine character in this afair, be-
cause II you had continued to take
pride in having "cut her out" it
would put you in a most unfaVor-
able light
Of course it has hurt you to
write this, but the hurt" is good
for you-a sort Of moral growing
pain, as it were. / do not believe
II would help the situation for you
to break your engagement with the
young man who, from your ac-
count, appears rather a sorry
prize for two nice girls to waste
any emotion over. But doubtless
the unfortunate position in which
ne placed himself-by discussing
his relations with both OF you with
the office force-was due to youth
and lack Of worldly experience.
You can show by your conduct to-
ward the "other girl" your appre-
citation of her fine attitude, but it
must be very trying for all Of you
to work in the same office, and II
might lessen the tension Of the
situation IL one Of you got q Job"
somewhere else.

able, out of the enormous mass Of
Jurldical writing upon the shelves of
our libraries, to pluck sentences, eX-
pressions. or dicta which seem to
sustain their position for the case in
hand. 1t should not be forgotten, how
ever: as Lord Coke pointed out, that it
is always necessary to strengthen
opinion not with authority alone, but
with the two great guides, authority
and reason. II precedents alone are
followed slavishly and without discrim
nation, our law would soon degenerate
INTO dead science, instead of being,
as 1T is, a vital principle governing the
affairs of men in their dealings with
one another. In the present case, am
convinced. both by reason and au
thorlty, that the plaintiff is right in
his position and that the defendants
are wrong in theirs
Facts Are Established
"Ihe facts in the case as established
upon the present state of the record
can hardly be said to be in dispute.
They clearly point to a combination or
conspiracy on the part of the defend
ants to use the tremendous force of
their united power to compel the plain
tiff to regulate his business under the
direction of the defendants at the
hazard Of depriving him of the supplies
upon which his business depends, and
thus to prevent him from competing
with such other newsdealers as would
transact and carry on their business
under the conditions which the de-
PENDANTS should choose to prescribe.
In this lies the essence of the case
against the defendants, Kellogg v.
Sowerby (supra). This joint action is
in the highest degree arbitrary, CO.
erciVc and un- american For the p,lr-
poses of this motion, l am constrained
TO hold it to be prima facie an illegal
invasion of the rights of the plaintiff.
Other facts may, it is true, develop
upon the trial which will require
different conclusion, but the present
duty of the court is plain, and, as was
said by great English judge in one
case, I must forget the name of the
court in which l sit if l were to re-
fuse to grant relief (See Lord

unpatriotic and anti-American and did
not wish to deal in them, he discon-
tlnued entirely carrying in stock for
sale The New York American and
The New York Evening Journal
That during the winter of 1917 and
1919 the defendants, through the Pub
iishers' Association of New York, fixed
the price of all papers published by the
detendant publishers at cents per
copy retail and to the newsdealers at
$l.40 per 100 copies, without the priv
lege of returning unsold copies; that,
therefore, the terms were modified by
allowing the dealers to return unsold
copies until about July Is, 1918, when
the return privilege was withdrawn by
order of the War Industries Board
That the plaintiff and other dealers
wished to discontinue his orders for
The New York American and The New
York Evening Journal but that the de-
fendant Star Company, Inc, by its
servants and distributing agents, re-
fused to discontinue any orders for
The New York American and The
New York Evening Journal although
requested to do so by the plaintiff and
other newsdealers.
"The complaint further alleges that
the American News Company, and its
agents, and as agent for the e.
PENDANTS, have threatened, and con-
tinue to threaten, not to sell and de-
liver to plaintiff copies Of any New
York newspaper unless plaintiff re-
sumes the purchase and sale of THE
New York American and New York
Evening Journal in the same manner
and to the same extent as prior to
August 10, 1918.
1T further alleges that since August19, g.,
1918, the defendants, who are the pub
fishers Of the New York evening papers,
with the exception Of The New York
Evening Post have refused to sell to
the plaintiff, after due demand, any
copies OF such evening papers, and the
plaintiff has thereby been prevented
from selling any copies of any of the
evening papers published by said de-
PENDANTS, and that since the first day
of September, 1918, the New York
Evening Post Company has refused to
sell and deliver to plaintiff, after de-
mand, any copies of The New York
Evening Post
"The complaint further alleges that
the defendants have further harassed
and annoyed the plaintiff and inter-
fered with the plaintiffs business, and
with the bushes of other newsdealers,
by picketing in front Of the said news
dealers stands and places of business"
"The affidavits and reply affidavits
submitted on this application are volu-
minous, and deal with some matters
which seem to have little, if any, bear
ing on the merits of this application,
but the main contentious of the plain
tiff regarding the facts are not dis
puted.
"For example, it is admitted by the
affidavit of the defendant Palmer that
{ ,onent, as secretary of said associ-
alton, at the instance Of ce ain of the
members of said association, caused a
notice to be sent to the American News
Company requesting said American
News Company to advise all newsdeal-
ers served by the American News Com
pany and its branches that they would

Tribune's Position in
The NelUsdedlers' Fight
With the Publishers

The action decided yesterday against
the New York Publishers Association
and the American News Company by
Justice Benedict grew out of the same
situations that obliged The Tribune to
organize its own Independent delivery
system, which will continue. The
Tribune's position was stated at the
time, on September II, last, as fol
lows:
"In the course of campaign
against seditious and disloyal pub
lications, undertaken at the urgent
request of the government. The
Tribune exposed the disloyalism OF
the Hearst newspapers in a series of
articles entitled Cooled in the Flag
-Hears-s-s-t.
Newsdealers Declare War.
"While The Tribune was engaged
in this work the newsdealers of
Greater New York declared war on
the Hearst newspapers, for economic
and patriotic reasons. All the mem
bers of the New York Publishers
Association, except The Tribune, re-
solved to treat this action on the

John T. Stuyvesant were special at
torneys for the Hearst organization.
Guthrie B. Plante of Morris, Plante e.
SAKE, represented the interests of the
.oS oSher defendant i.a, newspapers: the
Globe Evening POST" journal Of
Commerce. and of the Publishers
Association.
Justice Benedict in his decision says,
in part:
This is motion by the plaintiff, a
rcwsdealer for an injunction pendente
lite restraining the defendants, who are
publishers and distributors of certain
New York newspapers, from refusing to
deliver to the plaintiff the respective
newspapers published by defendants
above named (other than the defendant
dition that the plaintiff shall handle
and retail all the newspapers published
by all the defendant publishers without
discrimin ation, including the news
papers published by the defendant Star
Company, i. e., THE New York Ameri-
can and The Evening Journal The
action is brought to obtain permanent
injunction.
"The complaint alleges that the
of newspapers, magazines, stationery
and cigars and similar articles at 24O
flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn. 1t further
alleges that the defendants owned and
controlled substantially all of the lead
ing newspapers circulated in the City
of New York and in the Borough of
Brooklyn with the exception Of The
New York Tribune and the local news
papers published in the said Borough
of Brooklyn. That the American News
Company has an almost complete mo-
nopoly of the business Of supplying
retailers with morning newspapers;
that at the present time none of the
important morning newspapers pub
lished in New York City, except The
Tribune, can be obtained by retailers
otherwise than through the American
News Company.
Declined Hearst Papers
"Plaintiff further alleges that prior
to August 10, 1918, he dealt in ali the
New York newspapers, both morning
and evening; that prior. to that date he
purchased and sold on weekdays up
ward of 250 of the New York evening
papers; that at the time of the dec
laration Of war by the United States
the plaintiff had been carrying for sale
newspapers published in the German
language; that thereafter, and prior
to August 19, 1918, plaintiff discon-
tlnued the sale of certain newspapers
published in foreign language; that
during the same time the demand by
plaintiffs customers for The New York
American and The New York Evening
Journal fell off, and many customers
objected to the display Of these two
papers in plaintiffs store, and many
customers told plaintiff that they would
not continue to patronze him if he
continued to carry said papers in
stock. That the sale of the said two
papers became no longer profitable to
plaintiff; that by reason of these facts,
and because, as plaintiff alleges, he
himself believed the said papers to be

part OF the newsdealers as an illegal
boycott and agreed to support Hearst
by refusing to sell their papers to
any dealer who stopped buying the
Hearst papers. This was to say that
a newsdealer who for any reason re-
fused to handle Hearst's American
or 'Journal,' or who reduced his daily
orders for them, could buy no other
morning or evening newspaper. The
publishers Association was afraid
that Ii the newsdealers could er-
throw the influence of Hearst they
would be strong enough to demand
general reduction in the price of
papers.
"In view of its fight against the
Hearst newspapers, which had led to
their being denounced by the National
security League and barred from many
communities for patriotic reasons, The
tribune could not stand with Hearst
commercially. The Tribune, therefore,
acting alone, announced that it would
sell to all newsdealers alike, without
discrimination, whether they handled
hearst newspapers or not.
Company Monopoly
"Thereupon the Publishers Associ-
alton, representing (besides the Hearst
newspapers) The World The Times,
The Sun The Herald the 'Staats-
Zeitung,' The Evening Sum- The Even
ing World The Evening Telegram,
The Mail THE Globe and The Post,
decreed that the circulation of The
Tribune should be restrained 1t mott
fed the American News Company not
to deliver The Tribune to anti Hearst
newsdealers. The American News
Company is monopoly and absolutely
controls the distribution of morning
newspapers in New York Acting on
orders from the Publishers Associa-
tlon it refused to deliver The Tribune
to newsdealers who either cancelled or
reduced their orders for the Hearst
newspapers.
"At this point The Tribune was ex-
pected to choose between sacrificing
its anti Hearst policy or losing control
of its circulation. The Tribune chose
instead to fight it out. The first step
was to meet the newsdealers' economic
problem by reducing the price of
papers from s1.40 to S120- hundred
When this was announced the Amer
lean News Company refused to deliver
The Tribune at all to any newsdealer
except at the old price of S14O a
hundred. Having attempted by its
monopolistic power to dictate to whom
The Tribune should be sold, this organ
ization proposed now to say at what
price it should be sold.
The Tribune has met this situation
New-York tribune., 1919-01-17

by undertaking to organize its own de-
livery system, thing so difficult and
costly to do that no New York morning
newspaper has ever tried it under con-
dtions now existing.
"Meanwhile Hearst has invoked the
aid of the city administsatio through
Mayor Hylan, whom the Hearst papers
pretend to have elected to Office. Ii
censes of anti-Hearst dealers have
been revoked. There have been in
junction proceedings in the courts anl
incipient riots in the streets, all Of
which the New York newspapers have
steadily ignored in their news col
umns.'
