...nearly three hours, she emerged with Powers to announce that she would immediately begin calling some-but not all-of her 1,183 employees back to work under the old contracts. But it might not be that easy to get back in print on the cheap; the American Newspaper Guild advised its members to report for work, whether they were asked to or not. To rumors that Dolly already had a separate secret deal with Powers, she replied: "I have no agreement with Mr. Powers about a new contract. We will accept or reject any new settlement as it comes...
...Reporter, in the meantime, has run up a deficit of more than $536,000 despite the fact that it can get away with penny-pinching salaries, since 132 of its 283 employees still draw strike benefits from the I.T.U. and the Stereotypers' Union; the American Newspaper Guild shelled out $250,000 in benefits before cutting them...

...band of serious fact-finders have contented themselves with condemning Powers. To be sure, his refusal to negotiate seriously the issues of wages and benefits is maddening and inexcusable; and the typographers' wage demands are excessive. They are asking an $18-a-week wage increase, $10 more than the Guild won in its strike last month. (On the other band, his demand for a contract expiration date coinciding with the Guild's is perfectly legitimate, since no union should be hamstrung by the pressures of another union's contract...
