Publisher at Memphis Sues Strikers
The Memphis Publishing Co. filed a 264000 lawsuit in Shelby County Circuit Court against the Memphis Newspaper Guild and seven officers. It accuses the union of conspiracy, inducing breach of contract, and mass picketing tied to a strike that began Friday against The Commercial Appeal and The Memphis Press Scimitar. The firm seeks treble and punitive damages and cites effects on advertising and distribution. The story notes mediation and labor talks with the ITU and American Guild. Also mentions Lafayette’s tomb in Paris as one of 18 sites allowed to fly the flag 24 hours a day by presidential proclamation.
