New York Papers' Publish Again 1 As Strike Ended New York -4JPD- The giant ! presses of nine major New 1 York City dailies, stilled 20 days by the costliest strike in j newspaper history, r o 1 1 e d j once more today, sending forth sorely-missed papers for a news-famished public. Newspapers began hitting the streets this morning, a few hours after the Mail and De- ( liverers union Sunday night ; voted 2,091 - 537 to accept a new two-year contract. , The reading public, which I normally devours 5,500,000 weekday newspapers, and 8 ; million on Sunday, eagerly , snapped up the papers as they ! reached the news stands. On all sides there were expres sions of relief that the frusr I trating news blackout was ov-, er. ' I Jubilant Headlines - i The two morning tabloids came out with jubilant head lines across their front pages. "We're off and running again," the New York Daily News announced. And the New York Mirror bannered: "Hello again!" The prolonged strike had not only gotten on people's nerves but had dealt a hard blow to the city's economy. It cost the publishing business an estimated $25 million in advertising and circulation revenue and additional mil lions of dollars in losses to de partment stores, specialty shops, theaters, movies and other concerns. Also, about 15,000 newspa per workers editorial em ployees, printers, pressmen and others were idled with out pay for almost three weeks, losing more than $4 million in Christmas-time wages. Wage Increase Granted The publishers granted a $7 package and agreed to distri bute the package so the men will receive a $3.55 a week raise the first year, and $1.75 a week more the second year, making a wage increase of $5.30 over the two-year period. In addition, the publishers granted other changes. They cut the bundles from 53 pounds to 50; agreed to give a ninth holiday (Columbus day) begining the first year of the contract. They granted a maximum of three days sick leave, when relatives die. The publishers also . agreed to extend the territorial juris- i diction of the union beyond the present 50-mile radius from New York.
