...Sentinel cost the American Newspaper Guild a 320-man local. Instead of meeting Guild demands, Hearst sold the Sentinel to the Milwaukee Journal−which is non-Guild. Papers in Portland, Ore., were once organized by both craft unions and the Guild, but no more: struck in 1960, the Oregonian and the Oregon Journal promptly imported and trained non-union help. The profitable Philadelphia Record died during a 1947 Guild strike; also struck by the Guild, the Brooklyn Eagle stopped flying...
...time: 3 min. 57.6 sec.) and Jim Grelle (3 min. 58.9 sec.). Burleson, who had beaten Snell twice before, was confident of victory, and for the first three-quarters of the race, it looked as though he might win. Snell was maintaining a 5-yd. lead, but the lanky Oregonian is well known for his finishing kick. With only an eighth of a mile to go, Snell lowered his head and started sprinting. By the time Burleson reacted...
...Samuel I. Newhouse knows how to make trouble work for him. In November 1959, the printing-trades unions struck the two daily newspapers in Portland, Ore. They objected to Newhouse's plan to install automatic plate-casting equipment on Portland's biggest and strongest paper, the morning Oregonian (circ. 207,837). And they also struck the afternoon Oregon Journal. For the first 160 days of the strike, the two papers published joint editions; since then have been appearing regularly on their own, though the strike has been going on for 21 months. The Journal has been hurt more...
...gets his journalistic kicks in buying papers and making money from them rather than influencing them, Newhouse intends to leave the Journal's editorial staff and policy undisturbed. The Journal's jumbo headquarters on the Willamette River may be sold and its staff moved over to the Oregonian plant several blocks away or to a nearby office building. Eventually, both Portland papers will be printed on the same presses but with separate staffs. Now that he owns both Portland news papers, Newhouse is out shopping for another paper in the East...
...Portland Oregonian, which is Newhouse-owned, has been struck by the American Newspaper Guild and printing-trades unions, along with the rival evening Oregon Journal, since Nov. 10, 1959. Both have lost heavily on circulation but are still appearing. Last week Donald R. Newhouse, 41, Samuel Newhouse's cousin and business manager of the morning Oregonian, was wounded in the thigh by an unidentified assailant who fired a shotgun through a basement window...
