new YORK PRINTERS
STRIKE COMES TO END
Compositors Are Granted S45 Scale
for Working Week of
a 4S Hours.

NEW YORK, Jan. S0.-Empioy ing
printers and Big Six" Typographical
Union have agreed that the 5000
compositors in the union book and
job offices of New York city here
after will receive $45 week an In
crease Of 80 a week over the scale
which expired September 80, and 50
above the scale made effective by
the master printers at that time.
The new scale calls for the 4S-hour
week until May l, 1921. and the 50 In
crease is retroactive to January 1.
Thus ends the fight between tho
radicals in Big Six" and the en-
ploying printers and the International
Typographical Union, which resulted
in paralysis of the book and job in
dustry of the city for several weeks
last fall.
The new scale is 10 run for three
years, provides that the f-hour week
shall become effective May I next
year, and contains provision that a
read justment OF wages, but not OF
hours or other working conditions,
may be made October l If the cost
of living and the condition of the in
dustry are then found to warrant
changes.
Similar adjustments, by the terms
of the contract, are permissible each
six months during the life of tho

BRA|NARD DENIED

Court Refuses Publisher OF I'm

Reasonable Doubt. A.,

NEW YORK, Jan. So.-clinton T.
Brainard, secretary TO the grand jury,
representative OF the J. p. Morgan In
terests In Harper q Brothers, and un-
I'll two months ago publisher OF the
Washington Herald. made a vigorous
but ineffective attempt yesterday TO
escape sentence today for selihs
filthy literature.
Francis M. Scott, his attorney sp-
piled to the supreme court for GER
tihcate OF reasonable doubt wnich
would act as a stay or sentence.
He admitted that Brsinard expected
to be sent to Jail by the court OF
special sessions, which last week con-
yicted him OF publishing the lascivious
book, Madeleine: an Autobiography"
Assistant District Attorney Robert l..
tombstone blocked the move for the
stay by asserting that IL was prems-
ture. Supreme Court Justice Platzek
sustained the prosecutor, and denied
the application, saying:
"a superior court cannot pass on
the action of an inferior court un-
til that action has reached It's
finality." -..
Justice Platzek made 1t clear that
he would be willing TO hear argu-
ment on the dppuCdtlon diter oeh'tHN'
was imposed today. Counsel for the
prosecution and the defense agreed
to let the case come before him after
special sessions acts.
In applying for the certificate. Mr..
Scott said:
"If we anticipated that Mr. Brain
ard. would merely receive suspended
sentence, or be fined, we would not
be so anxious for this certificate, but
In our opinion the charge against
him was begun as back-firc against
the Almirall grand jury, OF which
he is secretary. We believe that an
attempt will be made to put him be-
hind tho bars, IL only for one days
"Thc men who instigated this
charge hope they, can get him TO the
penitentiary. IL they can only get
him behind the bars long enough to
say he was there. their main object
will have been accomplished. even
though. his innocence is established"
Mr.. Scott added that, as two days
notice was customary, he made the
application SO that Brainard would
not face a prospect OF two days in
prison. as he would If the step was
delayed until today.

CITY PEOPLE "EASY MARKS"
Many Bestowed Aims on Beggar for
Whom Lusty Youth Was En-
gagged In Barking"

Since efficiency is finding It's way
into all business one of the oldest
professions" of all has begun to adopt
modern methods. The inAovation Is
due to a beggar who made his stand
opposite one of the subway entrances
along the Williamsburg bridge APP
proach on Delaney street, the New.
York Evening Sun states.
Many who passed this spot recently
were struck by the appearance of this
beggar, an elderly, long-bearded man,
who sat huddled up in a wheel chair.
Alongside was husky youth of nine
teen or so, busily engaged in barking"
for the beggar. Secretly the latter
must have thought it good joke on
the alms-giving public. for there was
always smirk on his face, as his
friend shouted so none should neglect
to drop a coin in the beggar's lap. His
"spiel" was in Yiddish which, roughly
translated into English. would be:
stop: Give charity, people"
Many who ought to have known bet
ter stopped and gave.
