Last week the American Newspaper Guild's seven-month strike of 24 editorial workers against William Randolph Hearst's Milwaukee Wisconsin News came to a peaceful conclusion. Only twelve Guildmen had stuck it out since the February walkout. In Manhattan, General Manager Harry M. Bitner of the Hearstpapers insisted: "The Wisconsin News has accorded no recognition . . . made no settlement with the Guild. The Guild has simply called off its strike." Nevertheless, many an observer felt that, while the Guild had scored no knockout in Milwaukee, it had certainly won a victory of a sort on points...
Dazzled by such headlines as "YOUR QUICK WAY TO FORTUNE," "A CHILD OF 12 MIGHT BE AWARDED FIRST PRIZE!" and "YOU DESERVE SOME EASY MONEY," some 45,200 St. Louisans stuck through the contest at $1.20 each, racked their brains for a dozen weeks over the Globe-Democrat's "Famous Names."

Soon the rival Star-Times, which once had an option on the contest itself, and Post-Dispatch began to hint that the contest was unfair. Finally two St. Louisans tied for first prize...

The management slipped enough writers through the picket lines to fill the News's columns. The mechanical staff stuck by its contracts and jobs. Guildmen circularized and picketed News advertisers & subscribers. Now, after six months, they claim that they have managed to reduce News circulation some 50%, appreciably curtail advertising lineage. Nevertheless, the Milwaukee Wisconsin News continues to appear on the newsstands six afternoons a week...
Last week's confession did not bother the majority of the bondholders because interest on their securities is guaranteed by United Gas Improvement Co., which is also stuck with 88% of the company's preferred stock and nearly one-half the common. Presumably UGI knew what was up. But since the first of the year investors have"bought 19.500 shares of Connecticut Railway & Lighting common at the Stock Exchange's ten-share post for as high as $20 per share. Three minutes with an investment manual would have convinced anyone that the stock was a sale...
