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.
