...strike ended. But a big question remained: Should it ever have begun? The issues it had settled could easily have been settled at the bargaining table; the looming problems of automation that were the major part of the argument remained largely unanswered. The Guild, which had demanded the same veto over automation machinery that had been won by the International Typographical Union last April, got a promise instead that it would not lose jurisdiction over jobs connected with any new machines. The I.T.U. veto, said Kheel, was "a confession of failure" by the publishers. Then he added vague and hopeful...
...Snap. In the upcoming Senate fight, Lyndon Johnson may well be a reluctant combatant. He voted in 1947 to override Truman's veto of Taft-Hartley. But he promised U.S. labor to fight for repeal of 14(b) in return for its support in 1964 and, to the surprise of many, even put the pledge in his State of the Union speech. To show that he meant it, he pushed so hard when the repeal bill reached the House floor in July that it flashed through, 221 to 203, after a scant five hours of debate. After that...
...taken for a sucker!" stormed Rainier to a reporter in June.

He accused Rainier of cutting casino betting by 60% when he outlawed pigeon shooting several years ago (because Princess Grace vowed she couldn't bear the sight of dying birds littering the promenades). Onassis is willing to sell out, but his price is the current one of $17 a share, up from...
...were automation and antiquated work practices," wrote Thayer. "These were the crucial issues, and they should have been dealt with decisively at that time. Some members of the association agreed with our position. Some did not. As a consequence, we reached a compromise settlement which gave the typographical union veto power over automation and also perpetuated the antiquated practices...
Last March, as Thayer pointed out, the publishers gave the International Typographical Union virtual veto rights over any new machines. The move promised little in the way of future benefit, but it added to present trouble. Now the Guild insists that its very survival demands the same power. Otherwise, it says, jobs that it now controls may drift into I.T.U. jurisdiction. And when it isn't fighting over automation, the Guild, which might be expected to encourage modernizing, is squabbling with the Times over pensions and job security for members who might lose work if other New York papers...
