ABOUT nine weeks ago the pressmen employed in the publish
ing business in New York City presented demands to their
employers for increased pay, and other conditions so radical
that they were necessarily refused The employing printers offered
a temporary increase of $6.00 a week in wages, instead of the $14.00
asked for, and expressed a willingness to submit all demands, in
cluding that of wages, to arbitration. This was refused by the press
men and a general walk-out ensued; A few days afterward, the type
setters, in sympathy with the striking pressmen, left their employ
ment ostensibly upon a "vacation." The result was a tie-up of prac
tically every magazine published in New York City with the excep
tion of THE LITERARY DIGEST, which, as an emergency measure,
resorted to the photo-engraving process of publication, and the mag
azine has appeared ever since in typewriter type face.
Now, the compositors and pressmen have returned to work upon
the terms originally offered by the employing printers the submis
sion of all demands to arbitration.
Consequently, THE LITERARY DIGEST, commencing this week,
December 13, resumes its old familiar appearance.
It is interesting to know that the "Digest's" experiment in type
less printing has started more than two score inventors to work
along this line to perfect methods that may make typesetting
superfluous and render Guttenberg's famous invention of moveable
types an outworn device. .Some of the interesting news-articles in
this week's "Digest" are :
