A sudden outlaw strike, called fcy members of New York Newspaper Web Pressmen's I'nlon. Local 26, at midnight Monday, without warning prevented rjjy morning and evening newspapers torn publishing veiter- a few forelgn-lsnguas papers, one labor newspaper and trade papers appeared on the newsstands In order to meet the emergency the publishers de cided to IsBiie a combined news paper, of which this issue is a type. Dissatisfaction on the part of the pressmen over the so-called award was the cause of the walkout. Late this afternoon there wits no settlement. The, strikers went out at a time when the morning newspapers were preparing to get out their early editions.

The strike vote was taken at Beethoven Hall. 6th near 3d Manhattan, at which 1.600 meinberi voted, according to the officials of the union. The international officers say that less than 400 men were present. Tho vote to quit work according to David Simons, president of the local union, was taken because the pressmen refused to work any longer under the prevailing condt-lions, and because union representatives had failed to come to an agree, ment with the newspaper publishers bv which Ihe conditions complained of could be changed. George L.

Berry, president of the International Printing Pressmen's and Assistants Union, at ones la-fciied a notice, to the striken to the effect that their strike was Illegal, pot having been sanctioned by the iin-imiiianui, ana ordering the men to return io meir presses at one, 1 he strike took wholly by surprise. the publishers The agreement under the Manton sward expired Sept.

Will Submit Proposed Reciprocal Rum Treaty -q'lmperial Conference, Washington, gepU The British reply to Secretary Hughes' pro posal for a reciprocal agreement on ship liquor and liquor smuggling was received at the State Department today and was described by offleluls as 'in general, not sympathetic to the proposnls." The British Government plans, however, to present the ques tion to the British Imperial Conference, wlJch meets in London net month. Slate Department officials view Ihe British communication as leavlnu open the possibility of negotiating a double-barreled treaty to curb rum running and also lo facilitate ledii- mato. liquor shipments in foreign bottoms.

There was no attempt, however, to disguise the fact that Ihe British Government had general disapproval of the plan nnd raised objections against It. In his proposals, made to several Powers, Including Frnnce as well as Great Britain, Secretary Hughes pointed out that the draft treaty he submitted was designed 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 emphasized thut no project was being put forward by the United States for any change In Ihe general rule of International practice that fixes the limit of territorial wuters at three miles off shore. Secretary Hughes also pointed nut that under existing law In this country the Government was powerless 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 delivered within American Jurisdiction. By an exercise of the treaty making power, Mr.

Hughes proposed to overcome this obstacle In way that would have the effect of nn amendment of the law. The State -Department does not plan to muke public the British communication nor would officials disclose Ihe specific grounds upon which British objections were bused.

Police Department, reputed owner of the truckload of liquor which, started the Petruccl case, resumed the stand today before Judge Craln in General SenslonS. Manhattan, to be questioned further on his alleged dealings with whisky men.

Thor acknowledged friendship lth Mannlo Kessler, whom John D. Lindsay, attorney for Magistrate Corrlffin, described us "a bootlcguer wilh clty-wldo reputation."
