|SK-Week Strike Ends
Jas Rockford Papers
Settle With Printers
BY the Associated Press

ROCKFORD. ILL.,. May "a
six-week strike of AFL printers
which halted publication of Rock
ford's two daily newspapers for
the last two weeks was settled
last night.
The dispute was over use Of
teletypesetters, a manual type
control over linecasting machines.
Plans were made to resume
publication today.
Agreement on a new contract
the chief issue in the printers
walkout-was between the AFL
international Typographical Union
and the Rockford Consolidated
Newspapers, Inc. publishers of
the Morning Star and the after
noon Register Republic.
The publishing company also
reached agreement with the CIO
American Newspaper Guild, which
was not involved in the dispute.
Unions Ratify Agreements.
Local units of the TTU and the
IC1O union ratified the agreements
at separate sessions last night.
The 1TU approved the contract
by a vote of SO to 2, and the CIO
union by unanimous vote.
| The ITU had ratified its ron.
tract earlier in the night session.
but withheld a return-to-work
move pending the CIO units
action.
This city Of about $4,000 per-
sons-third largest in Illinois
had been without newspaper
service since April Is.
The ITU walked out of the pub
llshlng plant March "a. The
newspapers continued to publish.
on April Is mass picketing pre-
vented other workers from enter
ing the plant. A court order later
limited the pickets. but members
or six unions at the plant did not
report for work.
Joseph Rhoden, ITU interna-
'tlonal representative, said the new
agreement means the union will
permit the use of purely daily live
news matter, but would prohibit
(the teletypesetting of any mat
ter OF an editorial nature, such as
columnists, women's pages, ex-
presslons Of opinion or feature
matter of any type"
He said he thought the new
contract will go long way to-
ward setting pattern within the
newspaper industry" and called it
a very satisfactory agreement f"
No Reduction Of Force.
Mr.. Rhoden said the principals
agreed further that no tape from
outside the composing room will
be used to bring about a reduction
lof the (work, force. This means
that all mailed tape is out, and
that even the wire service tape
cannot be used to the extent of
bringing about a reduction in the
force" He added: "The compe-
tent standard for teletype per-
forators within the plant was
lowered from 375 to $50 lines per
hour"
He said the contract also in
cluded wage increase including
the maximum permissible under
the Wage Sterilization Board
regulations" and a picket line
clause that gives our men the
right to refuse to cross picket lines
of any Of the other six unions in
the plant who may be involved
in an authorized strike or lock-
out"

HelicopterS rescued the last crew

The helicopters brought off IL

to a Leghorn soccer field.
The helicopters were from the
