CAPITAL PAPERS

Four Newspapers Unable

ITU Dispute

WASHINGTON, Dec. ~. - Up
The nations Capital, origin OF the
bulk of domestic news, could read
little today of what is going on Ell
Their at home or abroad-its four
newspapers were unable to print
because of a dispute with the In
ternational Typographical Union.
The union has stated "there is
no strike" but the organization
voted last night to remain in con-
tinuous meeting and its members
remained away from shops of the
Washington Post (morning), the
Times Herald (morning and after
noon), the Evening Star and the
Washington News (afternoon), pa
pers serving about 625, 900 readers.
The War Labor Board has or
dered the printers to return to
work Immediately and is looking
into the cause and effect of the
dispute. Officers of the union also
have been directed to explain at a
WLB hearing Wednesday why
members of their union are eau
thorized or permitted or encourag-
ed to strike or participate in any
type of wok stoppage in violation
of the national no-strike policy and
labor's no-strike pledge
Meanwhile familiar corner news
stands were without local editions,
except for papers printed last
night. The Post got out a ten-page
paper last night with the aid of a

NEWSPRINT Use
SLASHED BY WPB
Newspapers And Maya
zines Expected To Have
Fewer Pages

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-P)-
Newspapers and magazines will be
Simmer or smaller in 1914 under a
War Production Board order today
which urastically curtails use of
paper in all printing operations.
II. M. Bitner, director of the
WPB printing and publishing d.
visions, said the order would force
magazines and newspapers into
fewer pages or reduced page sizes,
since all other economies were uti-
lized to meet 1943 paper curtail-
ment orders.
Paper tonnage allocated to all
graphic arts industries in 1914 is
roughly rs per cent of 1941 con-
sumption the WPB said, and will
result in a scheduled annual saving
of 100000 tons of paper.
The cuts exactly follow recon-
mendations made by industry ad-
visory committees when the short
age of paper became acute.
Paper consumption has been
running far ahead of war-reduced
pulp production, the WPB said. The
curtailment orders will bring con-
sumption in line with estimated
production and preserve inventory
reserves, which the WPB reported
at dangerously low levels.
Newsprint available to newspa-
per publishers in the first quarter
of 1914 will be 1876 per cent under
the 869,296 tons consumed in the
first quarter of 1941, the WPB es-
timated. Newsprint quotas will be
based on tonnages required to print
net paid circulations in the CORE
spending quarters of 1941. The Or
der fixed sliding scale of use
reductions, with the larger papers
required to make the deepest cuts,
as recommended by the industry
advisory committee findings pub
ished November 1919.
The order will cut the 941,000
tons used by magazines in 1912 to
I'll 500 tons in 1914, the WPB said
Book publishers, who used 49,
036 tons in 1912, will find their al
locations for 1914 cut to 108, 280
tons. Commercial printers also are
affected by the order.
