Peace

The pugnacious C. I. 0. American Newspaper Guild last week ended the longest strike in its history. Seven months ago the Scripps League Seattle Star hired A. F. of L. teamsters to supplant Guild office workers in its circulation department. That started the strike. After a four-day shutdown, the Star's, presses started up again, managed to get out a paper every day of the strike. Last week's armistice gave neither side the full fruits of victory. Reinstated were 45 editorial and advertising office Guildsmen. Nineteen circulation men, recently ordered reinstated by the National Labor Relations Board, were rehired to do other work, pending a court decision on their status. The Guild was denied a Guild shop, but for one year the Star cannot cut salaries, and must repay strikers nearly $30,000 in lost wages.

P: Meanwhile, new trouble broke out in Texas, where three associated dailies--Brownsville Herald, McAllen Monitor and Harlingen Star--turned off their presses and padlocked their doors rather than sign closed-shop contracts with their printers.
