|! Aires. a city of more than 1,5OO,OOO
inhabitants, and with more than thlr-

pers or even news bulletins for SIX
DAYS. bringing back the pioneer days
when the population awaited the ar
rival of sailing ships to learn what
was going on elsewhere. The people
appear to accept the situation com
placently as merely another phase OF
the many labor troubles which have
beset the city in recent months.
Fifteen of the principal publishers
decided last Thursday to close down
their plants indefinitely after the re-
fusal of union printers to set the
advertisement of boycotted depart
ment store. The smaller newspapers
were forced to suspend publication
because they could no longer use the
presses of the larger papers,
Newspaper bulletin boards are COW
cred with this notice: "This paper
has suspended indefinitely because
of the united fight for the liberty Of
the press" The publishers say they
will resume when all the papers have
been able to train new non-unlon
composing room crews.
Out-of-town newspapers are not
circulated in Buenos Aires, the pub
fishers maintaining an attitude OF
"hands off in the local fight"
Business is generally unsettled.
Two hundred firms are said to be
faced with differences with their en-
