the first annual meeting of the Amer
lean Society of Newspaper Editors,
held in this city.
The first declaration is: "The right
of newspaper to attract and hold
readers is restricted by nothing but
considerations of public welfare"
1t will be of interest to note the
application of the following declara-
tion when big business wants certain
newspapers to misstate causes for the
next big strike:
"a journalist who uses his power
for any but selfish or otherwise un-
worthy purposes is faithless to a high
trust"
On the freedom of the press it is
declared that this "is to be guarded
as a vital right of mankind. 1t is
the unquestionable right to discuss
whatever is not explicitly forbidden
by law, including the wisdom of any
restrictive statute.
Freedom from all obligations
except that of fidelity to the public
interest is vital
Promotion of any private interest
contrary to the general welfare, for
whatever reason, is not compatible
with honest journalism"

INDORSE UNION SHOP

New York.-At meeting of 1000
members of the Actors Equity Asso-
cation resolution demanding the
equity" shop was cheered for 10
minutes. The equity" shop is the
actors name for union shop.
The managers oppose the equity
shop and have offered concessions if
1T is abandoned. But the actors know
that when their union is destroyed by
their own lack of foresight the man
ayers will then strip them of other
gains. The meeting expressed these
views
Resolved, that this meeting an
proves and indorses the action of the
council in refusing the propositions
made by the producing managers as
soclatlon as substitutes for our equity
shop policy, and expresses it's convic-
tlon that the equity shop policy is
the only means as yet devised for
maintaining the continued life and
strength of the Actors Equity Asso-
ciation."
The association is affiliated with the
A. f. OF l.. Its members include John
Drew, Ethel Barrymore, Francis Will
son, Laurette Taylor, Jane Cowl,
Peggy Wood and practically every
other theatrical star.

BOASTED WAGE
GAINS EXPOSED
BY u. S. BOARD

observation-disclosures issued by the
United States bureau of labor statis-
ties do not sustain the impression that
the workers can not carry their extra
money because of recent wage in
creases.
The bureau says that in March
there was an increase over February
of 81 per cent in the number of en-
ployes that reports were received on,
an increase of 5 per cent in the total
amount paid in wages, and an in
crease of 2.S per cent in the average
weekly earnings. These figures were
based on February reports from 5,453
representatives establishments in 43
manufacturing industries, covering
2,135,564 employees. The March re-
ports were practically Identical
The bureaus statement was issued
before the steel trust and the meat
trust announced their IL per cent in
creases. If this IL per cent were an
addition to living wage, the in
creases would be substantial, but the
increases apply to workers who are
receiving but 36 and 81 cents an hour,
and in some cases even less This
means that rates are raised to 40
cents an hour, which is less sensa-
tional than when put in the form of
percentage.

STRIKE COST
ROAD MILLIONS

Boston.-By locking out their shou
men, officers of the Boston & Maine
railroad caused loss Of $4,000 600
At a meeting of the stockholders
President Hustis acknowledged that
the direct and indirect loss would
reach that figure. The president was
asked if this amount could not be
saved if the road accepted the Balti-
more agreement, as has more than
100 other roads. To this query Presi-
dent Hustle referred the questioner to
his annual report.
The New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroads losses because of the
lockout is $4,865,768
These losses would also be avoided
if the shop men were permitted to re-
turn to work without surrendering
their manhood.
