- Fish Hanging on Trees, STABLISHED 1870 STRIKERS JEER IN NEW YORK AS PAPERS ATTEMPT T0 GIVE NEWS TO THE PUBLIC Meeting This Noon c'""’lFflRGES fi")sy [i““. Advised to In Hope of Senl'n( Walkout of Pressme: Union Five Alleged World Em- ployes Arrested for Steal- ing Papers—Publications Combine, New oYrk, Sept. 10,~—A meeting bg- tween George L, Berry of the Inter- national Printing Pressmen and As- sistants Union and officers of the Now York web pressmen’s union No. 206, called for noon today, offered virtual- 1y the only hope of settiemont of the strike of pressmen which have mater- Jally curtailed publication of most ¥f the city's leading dally newspapers. Papers Combine The strike, which began when workers on morning newspapers left thelr posts shortly ufter midnight yes- terday morning, continued through | yesterday and last night, with afternopn and morning papers re- sorting to limited editions hearing the title the combined New York news- papérs, and carrying on the front pa the name of each paper affected. Mr. Berry, in a letter sent to the local unlon last night, ordered the| men to return to work, declaring 'h'] strike was unauthorized and fellure | to mply immediately with quest would result in a suspension of | the union’s charter. Farly this morn- ing he had received no answer to that communication, but it was expected the reply wonld be delivered at the noonday conference. The papers published this morning were thin eight page affairs, con taining little or no advertising and no | ®itorinls. Features were curtailed and | | one of the leading stories on all front | pages was an account of the press- men's strike. Pickets at Plants Pickets were stationed at all news- | paper plants throughout last night, but aside {rom jeers as the trucks rolled away with their combined newspapers, there were few untoward incidente. Police reported that a driv- ar for heen held and additional men were 4ent to guard that otfice. The Drivers'| union, however, refused to allow pa- 'trolmen to ride in their wagons or| cars. Six plants—The Daily News, Amer- jcan, World, Herald, Tribune and AMorning Telegraph-—manned enough presses to publish 8-page morning papers. Each maintained its individ- ual make-up, typography and person- ality so it could be readily picked at! the news-stands. Unusual Front Page More than'a fourth of all first pages were taken up with the banner “The Combined New Yark Morning News- papers,” and the captions of the 10 publications’ in the group, including; the Times, Journal of Commerce, New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung and 11 Progresso Italo-Americano, four of which did not publish. “Egjtorials were eliminated from all editions, as were most of the usual eomics and features. Advertisements were restricted to financial, steamship and theater displays. Meanwhile, the smaller English Dailies and foreign language publica- tions not affected by the strike are| riding ghe crest of a boom. Small Papers Boom The Jormer have gained several | pages ih size in the last 24 hours and are publishing vastly larger editions, interspersed with many extras. Flaring | headlines are appearing where they seldom appeared before and a new sprightliness is visible in several make-ups. One morning paper an- nounced today it was using all its presses and those of another non- strike plant in caring for its suddenly boosted circulation. Several foreign language newspa- pers for the first time printed in Eng- lish, from captions and edivorial to ad- vertisements. News stands which cus- | tomarily distribute out-of-town dailies | reported receiving thousands of extra | copies. They sold out early. | Iive Strikers Arrested Iive men who said they were press- men for the World were arrested enr)y‘ today, charged with malicious mis- | chief by detectives who said they seiz- | ed 50 bundles of newspapers from an | elevated train and carried them in a| taxicab to the East River with the in-| tention of destroying them. | { Winsted Is Not in.

RULES AGAINST GITY ON NEW SPUR TRACK Judge Webb Upholds De- cision of Public Utilities Commission Judge Web, in superior eeurt, has handed down a decision against the appeal of the city of New Britain from the ruling of the public utili- ties commission by which the com- mission granted the Connecticut com- pany the right to lay a new spur track on Chestnut street. The ap- peal was heard recently, Corporation Counsel J. H. Kirkham and Attorney Donald Gaffney representing the city. The memorandum of the court fol- lows: “The claim of the respondents, made at the outset of the hearing of this appeal, that the only question be- fore the court was, whether the Public Utilities commission had acted illegally or exceeded or abused its powers in passing the order appealed from, has not been pressed, and the court has heard all of the evidence offered by the parties, as to the. pro- priety and expediency of said order. With the acquiescence of the parties, novo. “Upon the merits of the versy, I am impelled from the evidence to reach the same conclusion as that indicated by missioners. sioners were entirely powers in permitting the the additional switch track, ai their order authorizing and permitting it was in all respects expedient and proper, The commission in no man- ner acted illegally or exceeded or abused its powers. 1 do not accept the claim of the appellant, that the laying of the proposed switch track, imposes an additional servitude upon the appellant's land, or that it will substantially increase the limitation upon the vehicular use of the highway caused by the tracks al- ready in use. These, it will be pre- sumed ,are there by lawful authority. “l do not find that the laying of this switch track will result in the taking of the appellant’s property without compensation, or in any man- ner infringe upon its constitutional rights. I am unable to find that this additional track will increase the danger to thosc going to and from the school on the opposite side of the street It will probably enable an operation of the appellant’s cars in within their laying of | conditions to the advantage of the public and all concerned. “The appeal s dismissed, and the order of the Public Utilities commis- sion is affirmed.” Alabama Man Is Secretary Of Conn.

Plans to Pre- sent Question at Meeting Of Imperial Conference Next Month, Washington, Sept. 19,~The British | reply to Secretary Hughes' proposal ' for a reciprocal agreement on ship Nquor and lquor smuggling was re« celved at the state department today | and was described by officials as “in | general, not sympathetio to the proe! posals.” Will Present Plans, The British government plans hows ever to present the question to the British Imperial conference, which |. meets in London next month, State department officlals view the British note as leaving open the possibility of negotiating sa double barreled treaty to curb rum runners and also to facilftate legitimate liquor shipments in foreign bottoms. There was no attempt however, to disguise the fact that the arm.p' government had indicated gemeral disapproval of the plan and raised ob< Jjections against it. The Twelve Mile Limit In his proposal made to several powers, including France and Great Britain, Mr. Hughes pointed out that the draft treaty he submitted was de- signed to make a special arrangement extending the right of search and seizure up to 12 miles off shore for the particular purpose of preventing" wholesale smuggling of liquor into the United States. It was em- phasized that no project was being put forward by Ameriea - for lny change in the general rule of int national practice that fixes the- -mnt of territorial waters at three miles off shore. # Law Is Dennte : Secretary Hughes also pointed out that under existing law in this country the government was pewer- less to permit stores of liquor on foreign ships to enter American waters even when it was clear that the liquor was not to be used or de- livered within American shore. Text Not Published. The state department does not plan to make public the British note, nor would officlals discloss the specific grounds upon which British objections were based. Apparently there |is some hope in Washington that refer- ence to the question to the imperial conference leaves a door open to ul- timate negotiation of a treaty along the lines of that proposed by Secre- tary Hughes. In any event the state department regards the matter as still in an indefinite state. Since ships chiefly concerned both in the ship liquor controversy and in the smuggling operations have been of British registry other countries " have deferred answers pending dis- closure of the British viewpoint.
