Walkout Is Over, N. Y. Papers Back On Stands Today

Harvard students, dependent upon Cambridge and Boston dailies for 11 days, will be able to read the New York papers once again.

A special government mediation committee yesterday brought a temporary break in the strike and a return to circulation of six of the city's papers.

After special conferences with federal mediators earlier in the day, most of the papers had resumed operations and were already delivering morning editions. The terms of the settlement were expected to cost the publishers over three million dollars a year.

Over 400 photo engravers voted to go along and withdrew pickets from the papers for the first time since the strike began on November 28.

But although the vote to return to work was decidedly one sided, the photo-engravers may go right out on strike again if the proposals on wages and other benefits offered by the fact finding committee next week are not satisfactory.

The strike of the photo engravers had been honored by 20,000 other newspaper employees who had refused to cross the picket lines.

The engravers will definitely get a $3.00 a week wage increase plus 75 cents worth of benefits. This is what the publishers wanted all along. However, the fact finding board can recommend additional amounts, and the engravers will have the privilege of striking again.
