N.Y. STRIKE GOES ON
Engravers Reject Terms (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) NEW YORK, March 28. Fewer than 200 photoengravers who want to reduce their working day by 15 minutes kept another 20,000 newspaper workers on strike and took the costly New York press shutdown into its 111th day. Their unexpected 191-111 rejection of a compromise settlement dashed yesterday widespread confidence that the city’s 6,000,000 newspaper readers would find their favourite papers back on the newsstands today. The “New York Mirror" had even prepared for a fireworks display over the city to mark the end of the strike. Hundreds of employers waited for hours yesterday on the other side of picket lines, ready to go to work when agreement was reached. The publishers said they would not negotiate further, the chief negotiator for the publishers, Mr Walter Thayer, said after last night’s vote: “I am very disappointed. However, I believe that the photo-engravers will reconsider and vote again to accept.”
