...plant of the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, which has now been struck for eleven weeks, is virtually under siege. With a determination rarely displayed these days by a publisher confronted with a strike, George R. Hearst Jr., grandson of William Randolph, has struggled to continue publishing his afternoon paper. It has missed only two days since the strike began. Though its circulation has dropped from 726,000 to 500,000 and it prints two editions instead of six, it continues to reach the streets and subscribers with its usual heavy load of columnists, features and wire-service copy...
...Examiner had no doubts. In a front-page editorial, the paper put the blame squarely on the strikers. "This cold-blooded murder," said the paper, "heads a long list of crimes and violence since eleven trade unions went on strike." The paper then proceeded to list 150 incidents.

Playwright Robert Sherwood once said of Poling that "the whole United States is his parish." It might better have been said, the whole world...
...paid one of the lowest minimums of any sizable paper in the country ($174.80 a week after five years), Guildsmen seek a $25.20-a-week raise over two years. Management has offered $13 over the same period. The longer the strike drags on, the more nonunion personnel the Herald-Examiner hires to put out the paper. It is not much different from the usual one. It skimps on local news, runs a lot of wire service copy, a flock of columnists and a strong sports page. The paper claims a 600,000 press run; its normal circulation...
