printed at the top of Mr.. Crandall's
letter are Margaret l. Sweeney. Marie
G. Baker, Agnes r. Williamson and
Hannah F. Wildman.
The "item" inclosed by Mr.. Crandall
with a request for publicity was most
illuminating. In the first paragraph it
stateda
"By a proclamation to be issued by
Mayor Hylan, New York City will take
the initiative in becoming the first
municipality to inaugurate what will
be known as Hush Week. The week
commencing Monday, April 1S, has
been so designated"
Then, after setting forth that zone
hundred prominent personages have
appointed Milton D. Crandall, chair
man." there Swas the revealing final
paragraph:
"The object Of the movement which
will doubtless become nationwide, is
to mitigate all unnecessary noise and
to hush the increasing, unwarranted
criticism of the nation, state and city"
Secretary Kraft said Chairman
Crandall had experienced no difficulty
whatever in selling the idea to His
Honor.
1t was hotly denied at City Hall
that rubber heel interests were back
of the "hush" movement.

When Peter Rabbit darted out un-

Bear was so surprised chat for q
couple of seconds he didn't do p
thing. This was what Peter had
counted on. 1t gave him fair start
Then, with a squeal, Boxer started
after him.
He's out! He's out! Come on,
WoofWoof! Well catch him nowi'
cried Boxer, and he was so excited
that he stumbled over his own feet
as he started after Peter.
When Peter came out from under
that pile of brush he turned to the

could go. Again Peter was doing the
unexpected. He knew that Wcof-
Woof was on the other side of thar
pile of brush, and he knew that she
knew that he knew she was there.
OF course, she wouldn't expect him to
run around where she was. That
would be the last thing in the world
she would expect.
so this is just what Peter did do.
Around the end of that pile of brrsh,

pected, he met Woof-Woof running
as fast is she could. Peter dodped
as only Peter can. Woof-Woof was
running so fast she couldn't stop in

he couldn't stop.
Perhaps you can guess what hap

ran into each other so hard that both
were knocked over! Yes, sir, that ia
just what happened. Then both those
little Bears lost their little tempers.
They forgot all about Peter Rabbit.
Each blamed the other. They scram-

he snapped.
Woof-W oof was quite as quick as
Boxer. Slap went one of her paws
against the side of Boxers face. "Do
some looking out yourself!" she
sputtered.
They stood up and danced around
each other, cutting and slapping ana

at each other with little eyes red
with anger. Boxer suddenly threw

dazed, and was with another woman
unfamiliar with Newark and It's vieir-
ity. They asked to be directed to a
car which would take them to the

Worthington saw them aboard a Rose

Paper Makers
For Wage Cut
Or Open Shop
Assert Workers Must Accept
Reasonable Reduction:
Scale Now 137 Per Cent
Higher Than z Years Ago
Present Costs Mean Loss
Producer Charges Union
abOr Is Inefficient
i'm the Print Industry

The outstanding sentiment in talks
delivered yesterday by members Of the
American Paper and Pulp Association.
which is holding its forty-fourth an
nual convention at the Waldorf
Astoria, was that labor must accent a
reasonable reduction in wages or face
shut downs, with the consequent lack
OF employment. 1t wes said that the
inevitable result of the present stand
of labor would be that paper producers
must and would stand for open shop
principles.
George w. ssson, president of the
association, in his opening address,
denied that the open shop movement
was IN any sense conspiracy of en-
ployers.
Philip T. Dodge, of the International
Paper Company, 80 Broad Street. one
OF the largest print paper manufac-
turers IN the country, said he consid d.
ered tne print paper situation critical
mr.. Dodge was emphatic in his as
sertlons that labor must accept reduc-
tons. He said that labor in the print
paper mills was receiving to-day 1877
per cent higher wages than in 1914
and that in that year it was the high
est paid in the industry. "Now," he
SAID, 1T not only refuses to accept any
REDUCTION, but it is asking more.
The inevitable result Of the present
stand of labor" he said, twill be that
we paper producers must and will
stand for the open shop principles.
Union labor in our industry means in
efficiency. Union labor cannot and
never has been able to compete, in
quality and volume of production with
the non-union or open shop mill. We
must come to this if we are to survive,
Tor paper cannot be manufactured
under the present conditions of high
labor cost with the other essential over
mead except at a loss. This we will
not continue to suffer"

Staten Island Tube
Bill; Up to Hylan
Measure Provides That Citv

Within Two Years; Two
Drug Laws Also Approved
From a Staff Correspondent

'o'''
ALBANY, April 14.-The Assembly
to-day passed the bill OF Senator c.
Ernest Smith, of Staten Island, pro-
viding for the construction of a freight
and passenger tunnel connecting
Brooklyn with Staten Island. The
measure already has passed the SEN
ate, and ncw goes to Mayor Hylan for
his approval
The measure specifies that the New
York City Board of Estimate and Ap-
portionment shall begin the construc-
ton OF railroad tunnel" under New
York Bay within two years. The pro-
Ject shall be undertaken and com
pleted subject to the same rules that
govern local improvements. The cost
is to be borne by the city Provision
IS made which permits the city to lease
the tunnel to private corporation
under an agreement covering a period
rot exceeding twenty-five years. The
Board Of Estimate will, however. re-
tain authority to fix the toll rates to
be imposed upon users of the tunnel.
The Assembly also passed the bill
introduced by Assemblyman Bert LORD
Sbollshlng the department of narcotic
drug control, and the M. L. Smith
measure amending the public health
law in respect to the use and sale Of
hablt-forming drugs.
The former bill transfers to the
State Department Of Health jurisdic-
tion over the Whitney drug control
act, which established a drug control
commission. The Smith measure runs
along parallel lines with the Lord bill
insofar as distribution of narcotic and
Health Department regulation is con-
cerned. g. 1t goes further, however, in

The Grand Depot
When Fortune
Favored the Brave

In those days there were no
such large stores as there are
now.
People were not known to
visit and enjoy the sights of new
goods as they do now.
In old times manager stood
inside of the store and directed
all comers.
When a locker said, "I will
take that" the purchase was a
sealed pact; and nothing was
expected to come back, and
when it did it was for exchange
and not for return of money.
All this was changed by the
New Grand Depot. People
Aocked to it and they have done
so ever since.
They were, and are still, al
ways welcomed.
Monthly accounts, bills rem
dered the end of the month,
were encouraged as a conven-
ience to the customer and a saw
ing of time to the clerks.
Hospitalities. of public COM
