Nation IN BRIEF : NEW YORK : Daily News Courts Striking Pressmen
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Daily News made a new offer to its pressmen, seeking to break the impasse in a four-month-old strike by nine unions. Publisher James Hoge said the proposal differed significantly from previous ones, but gave no details. The size of the press staff has been a major sticking point as the News sought to cut its payroll. The proposal was presented at a meeting of Hoge; Jack Kennedy, president of the Printing Pressmen’s Union, and mediator W. J. Usery, a former U.S. secretary of labor.
