2-Year Printer Strike
On 5Chieago Papers
Nears Settlement
By the Associated Press

and costly strike by $500 AFI
printers against Chicago's five
major daily newspapers appeared
near settlement today.
The strikers, who quit work
nearly % months ago in dispute
over a new contract, will vote
Sunday on terms agreed on last
night by union and publishers
representatives.
The new pact calls for a wage
increase of $40 week. The union
originally had demanded a pay
boost of SIS. Provisions of the
new contract have been approved
by the executive council OF the
AFL international Typographical
Union.
Acceptance Recommended.
John J. Pilch, president of Local
16, AFL-TTU, said the locals Off
GERS and Scale Committee will
recommend acceptance of the new
contract to the rank and file at
Sundays vote.
A spokesman for the publishers
said the contract proposal agreed
on was virtually the same which
the union rejected last March and
which union officers had termed a
yellow dog contract"
Last nights meeting was the
drst held between the publishers
and union representatives since
last March. Previously they had
held 124 negotiations sessions.
The publishers had rejected the
unions proposed contract. they
said, because the terms called for
closed shop conditions in violation
of the Taft-Hartley law. On
March 81, 1s4S, Federal Judge
Luther M. Swygert issued an in
junction restraining the union
from insisting on closed shop pro-
visions and other terms banned by
the law.
Cited for Contempt.
Judge Swygert later cited the
union and its international leaders
on contempt charges. They ap-
pealed, but later filed proof OF
compliance with the injunction.
The strike against the dailies
was believed one of the longest
against a group of metropolitan
city newspapers. But the struck
newspapers - the Tribune. the
Daily Sun-Times. Daily News,
HerAld-American and Journal OF
Commerce have not missed a
days publication since the strike
started November "a. 1947.
The strike of the composing
room workers brought a new ap-
pearance to Chicago's dailies. A
new technique of newspaper
printing was started. The printed
pages were prepared by typing
stories with typewriters. pastins
them In place on large dummy
sheets. fitting cutout@ headlines
over them, and photographing the
Anished page for reproduction by
stereotyping.
The photoengraving operations
were improved greatly during the
lengthy strike but were slower
than printing.
$4,000. 600 in Wages Lost.
The printers have lost an esti-
mated $13.ooO.o0o in wages during
the strike. However, this loss has
been Offset in part by strike bene-
Ats they have received from the
Nations working membership OF
the TTU-$60 a week for married
men and $40 for single men.
Many strikers have not received
benefits, as they obtained jobs
elsewhere.
Wages for the printers, before
the strike, were $3.50 for a 36A-
hour week for day shift. $91 for a
s6K-hour week for night shift
and SOL for a 30-hour week for
the early-morning shift.
During the strike the six news
papers were reduced to five by
consolidation of the Morning Sun
and Evening Times into the Daily
Sun-Times with morning. after
noon and Sunday editions.

YESTERDAYS SESSION

The Territorial Senate was con- vened in extraordinary session by Lew W Williams, Secretary of Alaska, yesterday afternoon and all l6 members were present to take the oath of office from U. s. Dis trict Judge George w. Folta.
 Both Senators William Munz Of Nome and Frank Barr of Fair banks arrived in town yesterday morning to complete the Senate roll. Their arrival also brought both parties up to full strength of eight members apiece in the Sem ate, fact which was disclosed on the first roll call when the re was an 8-8 tie. in the attempt to elect President pro tenn.
 Senator Howard Lyng, Nome, was nominated by Sen. Frank Peratro- vich for the office on the Demo- crat ticket. Senator Anita Gar nick nominated Senator Gunnard Engebreth on the Republican tic ket.
 This deadlock was broken when Senator Lyng withdrew from the race, remarking as he did so that he favors peace and harmony when ever they can be achieved and that stalemate is an inauspicious start for harmonious session.
 The deadlock did not remain long unbroken, however. Senator Engebreth took the chair as Pres ident pro tenn and soon had run ming mate on the Republican ticket in the race for the permanent presidence.
 Senator Charles D. Jones of Nome, who was a member of the First Legislature in 1913, was nom- mated for the Presidents seat by Senator E. B. Collins of Fair banks, also a veteran of the legis- lative chambers of the Territory.
 Senator Victor Rivers of Anchor age then became the candidate of the eight Democrats and received all eight votes on two roll calls Senator Jones received six and Senator Engebreth received two on each ballot. His own and Senator Garnick's. As President, he declar- ed that it would require majority of the total votes for election. Sen-
