XVIL No. 21 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN TUESDAY, JULY 13, 1926 PRICE FIVE CENTS CRISIS POSTPONED IN NEW YORK CITY STRIKERS HAVE UNTIL TO RETURN TO WORK HOLD JOBS TODAY AN D PASSENGERS HURT Both Company And Labor Leaders Make Cladim To Victory After Week's Struggle (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, July 12.-The crisis in the subway strike was postponed for 24 hours today.j The Interborough Rapid Transit company announced that strikers would have until noon tomorrow to re- turn to work or be permanently re- moved from the payroll. The "zero hour" had been set for noon today but the company officials announced that they had received reports that men who wanted to return to work were being intimidated by strike pickets. The principal developments today in the strike, which has now been in progress for a week, were counter claims of impending victory by strike leaders and company officials, and re-j ports of the first serious sabotage since the strike began. Company officials said that 188 strik- ers had returned to work and that more were coming all the time. Strike leaders placed dissenters among the strikers' ranks at a handful and an- nounced that recruits had been gain- ed from the signal tower men. Police were told that two motor- men had been fired on while driving trains early this morning and investi-I gations were begun. Strike head- quarters denied any knowledge of the attack. | Two persons were injured tonight when a ten car express train on the Broadway-7th Avenue line ran into the bumper at the terminal at 242nd Street and Broadway. One hundred and fifty passengers who were standing at the doors of the train were thrown to the floor.

William Comstock, Democratic candidate for governor, outlined two important platforms on which he would stand in the coming primaries last night in a lecture at the court house. He emphasized his- oppositionI to the present one man government which Michigan has. His second plat- form was the change of the election system so that there would be a meet- ing of the party before the primary election at which men would meet from all parts of the state. These men would be elected by the people from the section they represented and therefore would pick the candidate who best represented the people in the party.

Brumm, of the journalism department, in a lecture delivered yesterday in Natural Science auditorium at five o'clock. "The News and the Citizen" was the subject of his talk. "Practically everyone has exercised his vocabulary in damning the press," Prof. Brumm stated. "It has been accused of all sorts of crimes and mis- demeanors." Foremost among its critics are such men as H. L. Mencken who abuses it roundly. Don Seitz, for 20 years business manager of the New York World, states that "in the news- paper's passion for early publication much important news is omitted." Prof. Durant Drake, of Vassar, in his book, "Problems of Conduct", accuses the press of catering to advertisers and leaving out any news which in any way might injure them.

Though acknowledging that these charges may have had occasions of truth, Prof. Brumm believes that the faults with which the newspapers are charged may be charged against any other business enterprise. A market could improve the public's health by furnishing only the best of every- thing. Theaters are tainted by com- imercialism. "Can even scho6ls and colleges he pure?" he asks. "Even government is seldom free from politi- cal corruption. We live in an imper- fect world. It is human nature to adapt things to individual needs." Most of the difficulties of the press arise from the fact that that it is of necessity a big business enterprise. The day of one man newspapers has gone. Advertising is essential to the newspaper, and the advertising de- pends, first of all, on the circulation. The circulation in turn, depends upon the popularity of appeal and this does not always call for the best things. It costs 14 cents to print each copy of the New York Times, and it is sold to the reader at a cost of two cents. The advertiser pays the rest. The ad- vertisers demand that the paper goes into a large number of middle class homes, and it is to these middle class people that the paper must appeal. Consequently, much space is spent in society columns, weddings, woman's and children's pages, and the like and a great deal of the first page news is scandal and crime. "The ordinary citizen reads trival things. Our un- differentiated reader assumes no re- sponsibility for the paper but he exercises a tremendous power of veto." "The main weakness of the modern press lies in the frequent failure of the newspaper writer to distinguish between fact and truth," Prof. .Brunm asserted. "Facts may be accurately presented without being truthful.
