On top of the $640,000 each of the seven faithful would get from the Times-Herald sale, Waldrop drove a still shrewder bargain. He got the colonel to agree to give each of them ten shares (worth...
...night to settle the dispute over wages and hours. A.F.L. stereotypers walked out too. The second strike, blessed by the International's officers, hit the afternoon papers first-the Star and the Daily News-and shut them down. Pickets also appeared at the morning Post and the Times-Herald. Neither publishers nor unionists could say how long the strike would last this time...
