BOYCOTTING A NEWSPAPER.

A Novel Plan to Diminish the New York Tribune’s Revenues. [New York Telegram.] The Trades Union Council has taken up the printers’ fight in the Tribune office, and ha« issued notices to all the theater managers that union men will boycott theaters advertising in the Tribune. Co-operative aid will be asked of every trades union organization in the country to further the following scheme: Many leading papers in America have branch business offices or news bureaus in the Tribune building, occupying the greater part of the immense structure, and an effort will be made to have them move out through the influences brought to bear on the home offices through the local trades unions. President O’Donnell, of the Typographical union, admitted the existence of some such scheme when he said to a reporter: “We haven’t got through with the Tribune yet, and before we do we will have your office moved out of the building.’’
