Strike Halts Auxiliary Printing Across Chicago
The Publisher's Auxiliary, a weekly paper with 4,160 straight weeks of publication, is on strike as the Chicago Typographical Union stops printing. The issue notes wartime and postwar tensions, laments rising taxes, and highlights a humane story of two Carthage men returning a lost soldier wife’s money. It also covers a Lions meeting where Mr. Fenter spoke on fingerprinting, its purposes, and its myth versus reality. See you next week.
