Editorial Chat

The recent typographical union
dispute with commercial printers,
which resulted in a strike which
tied up production in 78 Minneapolis
printing concerns, affected both the
Minneapolis Spokesman and the St.
Paul Recorder.
During the three week period in
which we were fortunate to get
the papers out at all we had 10
refuse q large amount Of advertis-
ing and leave out many Of the
features and departments which
have been enjoyed by our family
Of readers.
Out Of most crises arise the true
test Of individuals and orRaniza-
tons. Both our readers and adj
VertiseTs were extremely loyal and
understanding during our trials and
tribulations. The first week when
we finally got of the press with
four pages instead Of the usual six,
and one day late brought q VERT
able deluge Of telephone calls which
kept the three phone lines In our
Offices busy. When our situation was
explained the folks were sym
pathetic and understanding. II gave
US all n lift and feeling Of salts
faction that we were serving some
Of the worlds incest people.
Again we'd like to take this
method on behalf Of our OrRaniZa-
ton 10 thank our readers and ad-
vertisers for their patience during
the strike.
An interesting sideIiRht Of the
strike was the concern over our
situation expressed by many Of the
union men on strike. Most Of them
who work on this publication were
worried as 10 whether we would
get the paper out under the con-
ditionH existing. When we did get
out each week the strikers all seem
ed TO say, We're glad you didn't
miss an issue"
STAFF changes always give you
wrench of the heart especially when
the co-wOTker IL loyal and efficient.
