NEWSPAPER STRIKE
- -4 EDITORIAL STAFF DISSATISFIED A SOCIALIST PAPER. Pres* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, December 20. (Received December 21, at 11 a.m.) The editorial staff of the Glasgow ‘Evening Standard,’ a Socialist paper owned by Mr J. Wheatley, M.R., struck alleging victimisation and a breach of trade union principles. The editor asserts that the reporters, who were entitled to £3 10s weekly, received from £1 17s 6d per week to £1 10a lid. When they secured an increase to SO per cent, of the union rates one of the most highly-paid men was dismissed, and a boy brought in in his place. The firm denies the allegations. The journalists are not supporting the strike.—Sydney ‘Sun’ Cable. [Mr Wheatley is a Labor M.P. He was a Minister of Health in Mr Ramsay MacDonald’s Cabinet.]
