The only placea where it was possible tq buy the afternoon paper were the bookstaUs and railway stations. The boys placaded the citj with posters such as:— "Newsboys' Plea."

Thus the strikers chose an important day for their reprisal against the retrenchment. The strike caused considerable comment and amusement in the crowded city.Sir Hugh Denison, chairman of Sun Newspapers, Ltd., in a broadcast tonight, explained the origfin of the di|i pute with tho Newsagents' Associ* tion. He pointed out that the Sun Coinpany wanted to improve its serviccp with the publie, whereby tbe paper could be taken. to the people, rather than having to depend so largely on street venilors, which- had resulted iu the present "deliberate attempt to boycott the Suu." „ Sir Hugji announced that the company wouid now devise its own system of distributing the paper and would not capitulate to the boycott.
