With twenty five pounds of bread and
TWO pounds of olives In bag slung over
his shoulders. Joseph Tony Motto, 13.
climbed up the side OF a steamship
bound from Palermo to New York
twenty-five days ago and embarked upon
c voyage. most OF which he spent in the
coal bunkers. to find his father. Tony's
father has been missing ever since Tony
was months old. and his mother took
him and the other children back to Italy.
This is the story told by the lad. who
was picked up yesterday by policeman
and taken to the Children's Society.
The society turned the stowaway over to
the Children's Court. where Tony told.
through an interpreter the story of his
voyage and why he is here.
When the steamship docked here Sum
day Tony slipped out of the coal bunkers
and with the aid of one of the crew
escaped without any other person see
ing him. He hit the trail for Brooklyn,
for that is where his family had lived.
and naturally the boy thought his father
would be somewhere In that neighbor-
hood IL in this country at all.
Tony, who is hardly up TO average
height, looks husky despite his bread
and olive fare. He is brown and his
blue overall suit looked new and had a
made in America" look. though Tony
says he wore it all the way from Italy.

big SIX WARNED
1T MUST ARBITRATE
Publishers Serve Notice That
Scale Will Be Reduced
October 1.

At meeting OF more than 100 pub
fishers at the Engineers Club Wednes-
day definite resolution was unanimous
ly agreed upon and submitted to the AS
sociation Of New York Employing Print
ers demanding definite notice to be given
by September 1 to Big Six that a re-
duction Of present scales must be agreed
upon by conciliation or the matter sub
mitted to arbitration. The resolution
reads as follows:

views with alarm the present cost OF
printing. The reductions already effect
ed as a result OF arbitration and the
agreements of certain unions are not
proportionate to the easing up OF living

condition which will require the con-
tinuance of the present scale with Typo
graphical Union No. or face strike.
We deem It absolutely necessary not
only that the scale now being paid to
No. 6 should be reduced on October I In
proportion to the reduction accepted by
| the other unions, but also that there be
further reduction with all unions In
the scale. Inasmuch as there is no pro-
vision for arbitration of wage scale
with No 8, as there Is with the other
unions. we earnestly request the en-
ploying printers to take up Immediately
with No. 6 the question of an arbitra-
tion contract which can be put in opera
ton In case an agreement cannot be ar
rived at as to the amount of reduction.
In justice to the publishers of the city
the printers should be In a position not

yesterday on the action of the Interna-

Proper fire prevention. the chief re-
ports. had not been asked for and when
1t was offered his men were met with an
attitude on the part of the management
that they were attempting to graft"
their way into the fight.
Violations of the law were drawn to
the attention Of some of the ushers, who,
according to the reports of Kenlon's
aids. mesely laughed. Finally one of the
Boxing Commissioners had to come out
and beg the firemen to come in and try
to handle the situation.
Loose wiring was the cause OF much
of the failure in the lights outside the
gates. the fire chief says, but even
though the management was warned ot
this no precautions were taken. Chief
Kenlon says that his inspectors have re-
ported that though the lights inside the
field were failing, and never did go out
during the fight and the preliminaries
they actually did fail as the crowd was
leaving the place and the field went into
absolute darkness even before the last
of the spectators had left.
The general aspect of the Kenlon re-
port is that the whole fight affair was
mismanaged and that the Fire Depart
ment received no opportunity or warning
sufficient to enable 1t to take the proper
precautions.
