The association further charges

TULSA WORLD SUSPENDS
PUBLICATION BECA USE
Of PR| \ TIERS STRIKE

Tulsa. OKLA, Aug. 3.-The Tulsa
World was forced to suspend publica-
ton this morning by a walkout of its
printers last night following the re-
fusal of demand for flat scale Of
s42 day and S45 night
The demand was not made on any
other Tulsa employer and the idea is
to force one paper to increase wages
and then suspend operations on the
other unless the raise is met
The World has been paying s3S day
and SAL night under contract calling
| for $3.50. Union officials do not sane
ton the action of the men.
The evening edition of the World, es-
tablished a few months ago, suspended
publication permanently July 81. On
the same day the Morning Times. es-
tablished three years ago, also sus-
pended publication permanently.
Unreasonable demands upon the part
of the printers for wage increases are
said to have been the immediate reason
for the suspension of the Times. Charles
Page. owner of the Times and of the
Democrat, an evening and Sunday pa
per. had been paying all his printers
considerably above the union scale for
many months. New demands were
made upon him. it is said. and the Times
which had been run at a loss. was dis
continued.
With the temporary suspension OF the
World. Tulsa has but one daily paper
now in the field. instead of four less
than a week ago.
