THE NEWSBOYS MUST STOP What it means to "eat" papers and what is the cause of the warfare be tween trust press drivers and slug gers and newsboys was told to Judge Harry M. Fisher yesterday in the boys' court by a committee of news boys from the Chicago Newsboys' Protective Union, Local 15467, con sisting of Morris Gerber, John Tom asetti and Andrew Giacola, specially delegated to take the matter up with the judge to decide what action could be taken to stop it Gerber gave Judge Fisher a list of the convictions the newsboys have gotten recently in cases taken into court where boys have been slugged by drivers and also a copy of the correspondence that has passed be tween the union and the publishers' ass'n on the subject Tomasetti, who is president of the union, explained the system under which newsboys have sometimes a hundred and more papers over at night that they can only sell to the junk dealer. "The trouble comes because there aren't any returns allowed," he said. "A newsboy may be able to sell only a certain nuipber, and the driver wants to make him take 25 or 50 or 75 more a day than he can sell, and lots of times the driver will beat the boy up to make him 'eat' the papers. If the boy takes them he's got them on hand at the end of the day. The only way to stop the war is to have the right ta return what can't be sold." Giacola said that in the baseball season most people buy the home ed ition in their own neighborhoods, which takes away circulation from the loop and increases it in the resi-. dential district. The trust press makes no allowance for this in the'? loop, but forces the newsboys to take the same number of papers, while raising the circulation in the resi dential districts. Judge Fisher said the slugging had to stop. He will take the matter up', with the publishers' ass'n. k MRS.
