Except for minor concessions, the two sides remained just as far apart as they were when Freeman Frazee, president of the Detroit printing pressmen's union, led his men off both papers-an exodus joined by one other union, the paper and plate handlers.

The exchange did not take its closing easily, planted full-page ads in many newspapers to attack the situation. After suggesting that Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman is either "unknowledgeable" or "a demagogue," the ad charged that his subsidies were creating a "unique substitute for the free enterprise system...
