...only New York publishers are alarmed by the I.T.U.'s defiance of automation. Almost equally worried is a brother union, the American Newspaper Guild. If more papers are forced to shut down, editorial staffers will have a hard time finding jobs-a much harder time than the typographers, who can be absorbed by print shops outside the newspaper business...
Riding Piggyback. Relations between the two unions have long been uneasy and lately have further deteriorated. Jurisdictional disputes have flared as both unions have vied to organize proofreaders, stencil clerks and driver-mailers.

Neither the paper's 12-man Washington bureau nor any of the foreign bureaus are covered by the Guild contract. "They're going to break the strike," said a Federal observer last week. "If they get back in publication, they'll kill the Guild. You can replace a Guild member, but you can't replace the craft unions...
