...will throw some 2,000 people out of work: 901 Newspaper Guilds-men, 450 printers, 421 drivers, 77 mailers, 53 photoengravers and 41 stereo-typists. The Guild's Tom Murphy and the printers' Bert Powers have made their disapproval loud and clear. For public consumption at least, Guildsman Murphy demanded as the price of merger that the publishers keep their entire present staffs on salary for at least one year-a proposal that the publishers were quick to squelch.

The move strengthened the Guild in its determination not to give in. "I would be in a silly position," said Guildsman Murphy, "if I compromised my original demands and was still on strike...

"Things from our point of view are very bright," said Promotion Director Rob ert Kavanaugh. "We have a sufficient complement to put out the papers as our people know them...
...many another Guildsman. At week's end, top officers of the Guild recommended acceptance of the publishers' offer by a split (9-8) vote, but that vote was far from final. This week Guild units at each New York newspaper must ratify the agreement, and there was some doubt that all would go along. At the Daily News, Guild unit leaders voted 47 to 3 to advise their members to turn the offer down. If that advice is accepted, the pickets ,will keep on marching. Bert Powers wants a common expiration date badly, and if the Guild rejects...
