July 1899: When Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise the distribution price one-tenth of a cent per paper, ten cents per hundred, the newsboys, poor enough already, are outraged.

With David Jacobs as the brains of the new union and Jack as the voice, the weak and oppressed found the strength to band together and challenge the powerful.
