Tentative Agreement
Worked Out in Strike
On World Telegram
GuiId Members to Vote
Tuesday on Terms for
Ending 2-Month Tieup
BY the AsSoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The
two-month strike of the C1O-
American Newspaper Guild against
the New York World Telegram
and Sun was tentatively settled
today.
An agreement covering "all is
sues" was reached in a 15-hour.
all-night bargaining session with
the help of Federal mediators.
Guild delegates said they would
recommend the settlement to the
400 strikers. but said the terms
will not be released until the
membership votes on acceptance
Tuesday night.
The long meeting broke up at
5 am. with smiles and hand
shakes.
Picketing to Continue.
Il am very happy that both
sides have reached an agreement
we can live under" said B. O..
McAnney, the World Telegram S
managing editor and one of the
negotiatorS.
Thomas J. Murphy. executive
vice president of the Guild local,
said the strike will continue with
picket lines, and the paper will
make no effort to reopen its plant
pending the Tuesday vote.
Mr.. McAnney said it would take
two or three days after a final
settlement to begin publishing
again.
The bargaining session was the
last of an almost continuous series
that started early in the week un-
der urgings of Federal Mediator
Walter A. Maggiolo.
The strike has gone too far for
either side to win a clear-cut vic
tory" he said at the time. There
will have to be compromise.
Job Security Is Issue.
The Guild walked out June 13
after failing to win the contract
it wanted. The major issue was a
stronger job security clause, with
pay and a nine out of 10" Guild
shop also important as the other
leading demands.
The job security issue was con-
Sidered critical by the Guild be-
cause the paper had recently
added heavily to its staff after
merging with the old New York
Sun last January 5.
GuildSmen, who included the
bulk of the big afternoon papers
editorial, business and advertising
StatfS, Immediately threw up
picket line at the main World
Telegraph plant at 125 Barclay
street in lower Manhattan.
Labor Groups Agree.
The papers AFL mechanical
unions honored the CIO barrier,
and the World Telegraph sus-
pended publication from the first
day of the strike.
The AFL-CIO cooperation was
significant development in the
newspaper industry. as the strike
came only a few days after the
two labor groups had agreed on
a program of mutual support in
labor demands.
