offered both sides early next week. The
conferences under way at the Belmont
Hotel are in the nature of adjustment
proceedings. and while there has been
much talk OF the possibility of a strike.
there is very little tangible evidence
OF any such desire by the men.
The workers involved are makers of
about two-thirds OF the paper stock
consumed In this country. Their out
put is about 1900 tons of newsprint
every twenty-four hours and about 1900
tons Of finer paper for job printing.
Inasmuch as neither newspapers nor
job printing Establishments are wont
to carry large reserves OF paper. such
strike would be a serious one. Book
and magazine publishers would also
feel the effects OF such warfare.
Such a strike would affect almost
1000 workers. fifty mills and nineteen
manufacturing companies. Six OF these
companies have agreements with the
union expiring May l. The others have
agreements lasting unal May II.
