Portland, Jan. 31 (U.R) Portland's
three dally newspapers resumed pu
blication today after a five-day
shutdown caused by a strike of prin
ters In their composing rooms.
The printers voted 212 to 70 to end
the strike last night, and the Ore
gonlan printed a 34-page paper this
morning. The Journal and News-
Telegram were printing their regu
lar afternoon editions today.
The settlement gave the printers
wages of $9 a day for day work and
$9.50 a day for night work. All shifts
to be seven and one-half hours, five
days a week. The renewed contract
provides that It may be opened by
either publishers or printers as to

agreement also set up conditions of
arbitration at that time if It becomes
necessary.
"This is a new proposal embody

ers said.
During the strike Portland has
been virtually without printed news.

programs but time for news was not
increased except for a broadcast of
death and funeral notices. Outside
newspapers did not come Into Port
