A. F. Of L. Group Acts
In Seattle Strike

The executive council Of the
American Federation of Labor de
termined today to submit to the
publisher of the Seattle Post-In'
telligencer and the Seattle Cen
trail Labor Council a plan fol
settling the strike of the Ameri
can Newspaper Guild against the
newspaper.
The A. F. Of L. decision followed
collapse Of negotiations between
Harvey j. Kelly, counsel for the
paper, and representatives Of the
Central Labor Council.
H. M. Bitner, general manager
of Hearst newspapers, said:
Twenty-Six, principally junior
members Of the Seattle POst.In-
telligenCer news staff, Of ? total
Of 81 members, struck on August
Is, in an attempt to compel rein
statement Of two members Of
the staff, who had been dis
charged for cause. The two men
discharged had submitted their
cases to the National Labor Re-
IatiOnS Board previous to the
action Of the strikers.
without waiting for q
determination Of the case,
which the management imme-
diately went in to defend, the
strike was called.
mo question was raised by
the strikers with regard to
hours, wages or working cOndi-
tiOns. The standards in these
respects on the Seattle Post
Hntelligencer were among the
highest in Seattle and the
Northwest area. The Hearst
newspapers are the largest en-
plOyerS of union labor in the
printing trades in this country,
and in continuation Of their
many years Of friendly rela-
tionships with these unions and
the American Federation Of
Labor, have sought to CO.
operate with the executives OF
the American Federation Of
Labor in q desire to find o So
luton to the present diff
cultieS.
"Mr. Green has indicated that
the American Federation has
communicated with the pub
Usher Of the paper and with the
Seattle Central Labor Council,
conveying suggestions by the
