The article reports on the resumption of normal publication by New York's nine major newspapers following a 19-day labor dispute with their deliverymen. Striking deliverymen accepted a 7 U.S. dollar wage and fringe package. The strike resulted in the loss of 25-million U.S. dollars in advertising and circulation revenues and 5-million U.S. dollar loss of wages. The strike also had a negative economic impact on Florida and Canada, but generated new income for other communications media.
