New York Newspaper
Freshmen Strike
Reject Wage Decision

New York, Feb. 2S.-Cnion press
men in all New York morning news
paper press rooms abandoned their
posts tonight. according to an an
nouncement by the Publishers Asso-
citation of New York City.
Immediately following the announce
ment The publishers gave out the TO-
lowing statement:
"The publishers have reduced their
papers to eight pages and the pros
poets we're that all papers would be
issued on time by a force Of emergen-
cy pressmen hastily gathered by the
newspaper owners.
"The action of the union pressmen
was due to dissatisfaction with an ar
btration decision made by Judge Mar
tin T. Manton Of the United States
court Of appeals February 90.
1.-THE arbitration fixed $51 and $45
weekly as pay for day pressmen in
charge and $J4 and $4S weekly Tor
each night pressman in charge and
journeymen pressmen. These are the
highest wages paid such men in the
country, but the arbitrator abolished
various union practices by which
wages were artifcially increased far
above the basic scale.
Before agreeing to the arbitration
under conditions proposed by the unio1,
itself. both sides signed an agreement
to abide by the judges decision. BY
repudiating the decision and breaking
their contract the union terminates
relations with the New York newspa-
pers that have continued without
break for over so years.
1.-THE publishers in statement
signed by all the II newspaper own
ers publicly announced they would
carry out the arbitration award exact
ly as they had every such awarl
whether favorable or unfavorable, and
that If the local and international

BOwd0in and Colby
in Tie Hockey Game

BowdOin played hockey with Colby
Tuesday afternoon and nobody lost.
The score was l to 1. The game was
played. before 200 spectators on the
rink in back of Foss hall. This was
the second game Of the season be-
tween Colby and Bowdoin, the first
game ending with Colby in the lead.
The game started of with a rush to-
ward the Colby goal but Young and
McBay were right there and after
several hard scrambles around the
Colby goal Captain Vale chased the
puck up the rink in scoring position
and tried to put it in but failed, then
he shot it to Wason who aso was I'M
abe to score. About this time Sam
Huuhn gets interested and appears
in front of the goa, Wason snaps the
puck to HUM who lifts it into the net
for the first score Of the game. The
game slowed up a bit after that and
much time was consumed chasing the
puck about the rink without any dam
ger of scoring on either side. Colby
was at a disadvantage for the last
few minutes of the period as HUM
went out for a minute and before he
came back in Berry also went out so
that the odds were four to six but
Young jumped in front OF the goal
and the other three men of the Colby
team kept the five Bowdoin men busy
until HUM and Berry came back
Berry went out because he was so
determined to keep the puck out that
he fell onto his knees while stopping
the rubber. 1t looked for while as
though there would be no more scor-
ing but in the third period after five
and half minutes play. Plaisted
drove the puck in beside Berry while
Whitman diverted the defense After
this point the game began to get
rough as both teams were eager tc
break the tie. Vale and Whitman
were stars for their respective 'teama
and HUM played a good game for
Colby.
