Splits Wood 4 Hours for Meal
Mi. M'ai D?pateh to Thr Tribun*
BOSTON, March 16. The Way?
farers' Lodge, in Hawkins Street, had
an important guest lust night in the
person of Mayor Andrew J. Peters,
who, disguised as a homeless and job?
less man, slept at the institution. He
; got up this morning at 5 o'clock and
split wood four hours for his breakfast.
Through it all he was unrecognized.
A stern superintendent rebuked him
for trying to "make conversation." A
young man stopping at the institution
did better. (.Hit in the wood yard he
noted that his co-unfortunate was tir?
ing fast as he wielded the ax. He
stepped up to the stranger and offered
to help him chop his share of the wood.
"Say," said the Mayor, fyou meet me
at the Mayor's office this afternoon at
2:30. I've got a pull at City Hall."
The young man showed up on the dot
and pot the surprise of his life. He
: now has a job with a downtown busi?
ness house.
The uppish superintendent late to
of the Marine Workers' Associa?
tion, and William Manar, leader of the
Masters, Mates and Pilots' Association,
it is indicated that the men will reject
. the proposals for a wa?e cut, and have
latter referred for adjudication to
Labor Heard.

Special Visvatch to The Tribune
BINGHAMTON, N. Y., March 16.
Binghamton publishers to-day won the
first round in a contest with the In?
ternational Typographical I'nion, whet
The Binghamton Press this a'fternoor
began operating with a force of non?
union Iinotpye operators and composi
tors assembled from various parts ol
the country, replacing the Binghamtor
printers who last Tuesday evening, bj
a vote of 125 to 3, declared a strike.
An increased wage scale averagEhj
$7.r?0 a week and a forty-four-hour weel
for the publishing houses wore th
issues involved, and so certain of vc
tory were the members of the Typo
graphical I'nion that they refused t
consider temporary employment at th
present scale or arbitrate the questio
of shorter hour?.
The publishers involved in the figh
are The Binghamton Press, founde
by Willis Sharpe Kilmer; The Morn
ing Sun. owned by George F. Johnson
the millionaire shoe manufacturer; th
Ballou Publishing Company, a corpc
ration of thrse-quarters of a millio
capital, and the Johnson City Publish
ing Company, owned and eontrolle
by Congressman William IL Hill.
Four-Year Scale Signed in 1917
In 1917 the Binghamtor. Typograp!
ira! Union signed a four-year wag
scale with the Binghamton publishci
that provided for $23 a week for da
operators and $25 for night operator
This contract expired#on March ?), 192
It contained a clause providing thi
in ease an agreement had not bee
reached between the publisher-' ar;
the union when the'contract expired
should continue in force until sue
new agreement was made, not to exect
a period of thirty days.
When America entered the Wor
War the publishers offered the men :
increase of $1 a week. Later the m
at various times asked further
creases until, on March 4, the printe
were receiving $38 a week for day w ?
and $41 for nigh' work.
Late in January : he inembei .? o? I
union appointed a rale committi
confer witb the employers relative
a new wage scale. The committ
formulated a demand which was ;
proved by the men that called for
wage of S4"i a week for day men a
$50 a week for night men. with a for
four-hour week for the employees
Vail Ballou and the Johnson City Pi
lishing Company. This proposition 1
publishers refused to consider. Tl
to '-. the position that the cost, oi paj
and other printing material vas
high 8t the present, time that to r
the increase would result cither
financial embarrassment or an increi
in the price of &.?? papers and the
vertising rates.
The forty-four-hour week they
dared was impracticable for thi p
lishing houses and as they were
members of the national body of p
ushers that had previously agreed
the forty-four-hour week did not
gard themselves as bound by si
agreement.
Publishers' Proposal Rejected
The union members met March 8
a linal determination of their act;
and at that meeting the publish
submitted a proposition that, the r
remain at the existing wage scale
$38 and $41 until May 1. This the i
flatly refused to consider. The sti
vote followed and the men r< fused
take their places on Tup Morning Si
The Sun issued a four-page pa
announcing suspension for a few di
TliA Binirhamton Press on WedneSi
March 9, frjnd itself without printer?,
but issued a four-page paper for ail
editions by cooperation of the engrav?
ing department, the news heing type?
written, then photographed and zinc
etchings made.
This was the last issue o? either
Ringbamton daily. The strikers^issued
The Bingharnton Morning Advocate, an
eight page paper, from a job office, the
strikers doing tho mechanical and edi
; torial work.
The publishers on Saturday notified
all former employees to report for
work Monday morning or their places
would be filled. The striking printeVs
relied on the support of the stereo?
typere and pressmen to win out, but
the international heads of these or?
ganizations declined to order a walk?
out. When the non-union men began
arriving and arrangements were under
way to star., the dailies the union men
wanted to reopen negotiations with the
publishers and submitted the proposal
offered by the publishers on Mar?h 8.
Open Shop Declared
The publishers replied that as a re?
sult of the strike, which they regarded
as a violation of the thirty-day clause
in the agreement, they would refuse to
make any further contracts with the
typographical union. If the men de?
sired to return to their positions at the
present scale they could do so, but the
publishers reserved the right to em?
ploy and discharge, as they saw fit and
to adjust wages as business conditions
warranted.
This ended negotiations and the pub?
lishers to-day announced that Th(
Binghamton Press would be issued to?
morrow und The Morning Sun Fridaj
morning. Work began on The Bing?
hamton Press this afternoon, the n i r
getting out early copy for to-morn v's
paper. It. & planned to run an > . lit
page paper devoted solely to news.
The publishers are firm in theii
declarations that they will maintair
open shops in the future.
The plants will start with r>bout one
half of their regular working forces
hut more men are arriving dai
the publishers say that within a wee!
or ten days the situation will be bad
to normal.
