Conciliator Works On Newspaper Strike In Quad Cities
A federal conciliation officer in Moline, Illinois, sought to arrange a meeting between AFL printers and four newspaper publishers as a strike over perforated tape feeding teletype systems continued. Harold Clark of the union said talks were desired but no meeting occurred. The dispute centers on access to tape feeding via dyno teletypesetter equipment, with the union seeking assurances only ITU members feed the tape. The publishers blamed the union for veto power over printing methods and equipment, with wages not at issue.
