The printers promised 24-hour-a-day picket lines around the six Chicago dailies. The publishers promised they would print anyway, by photoengraving. The papers began a frantic scramble to hire typists. The Sun hired 80 and set up day and night shifts. All the papers buckled down to give Chicago its daily news, in spite of the strike...
