Negotiations between the Newspaper Guild and a prospective buyer of the shut-down St. Louis Globe-Democrat broke off, and no more sessions were scheduled, said Robert Steinke, executive secretary of Guild Local 47. Steinke said he had called a special meeting of the 250 Globe-Democrat union members for Wednesday to report on the talks. The Guild and Veritas Corp., which has the approval of a federal judge to purchase the paper, must reach an agreement before the sale can be completed.
