Talks Recessed On NY Paper Strike
NEW YORK (UPI) — Mayor Robert F. Wagner recessed newspaper contract talks until 11 a.m. today, denying emphatically that negotiations between publishers and striking printers were losing momentum.
No face-to-face discussions were held during more than 12 hours of sporadic negotiations that ended at 1 a.m. today. Much of the day, the mayor said, the publishers were "going over various issues" by themselves. He met with both sides.
As strike leader Bertram Powers left, he said, "We've been here all day waiting, and we never saw any publishers." But Wagner said the day's work had been of value and declared he would press for joint talks today.
The mayor denied suggestions that the talks were ebbing. He said that at present he had no intention of proposing concrete settlement terms as a third party.
"If we are going to waste time I will take the next step," he said. "But we're not wasting our time now." He said that in today's sessions he expected the sides to "get down to fundamental issues."
He firmly rejected a suggestion that the talks might be marking time. "We're here to gain momentum," he said. "Every moment is a deadline."
The mayor predicted today's session would be long.
"Wages are the least of the issues," he said. "The whole contract is negotiable, every phase of it."
"If we reach the point of agreement on other issues, automation should not prevent a settlement," said Amory Bradford, publishers' spokesman.
Defining the union's position on automation Powers said, "We want job protection and some share of the savings to be put aside for the union. The differences have been narrowed but there has been no agreement yet."
Last night on a television panel discussion, a topic was Wagner's offering a non-binding contract proposal. Powers said, "Wagner has an opinion of what might be a reasonable settlement." He said he saw no reason why the mayor should not make it public, noting that "it could be rejected in whole or in part by the union or by the publishers."

He reiterated his union's stand against arbitration.
On the same program Walter Thayer, president of the New York Herald Tribune, said, "I respect their (the printers') right not to arbitrate."
GRAVITT'S FAST LAUNDRY SERVICE Saves You Time and Trouble
Both Powers and Thaver agreed the strike had been damaging, both to the parties and to the public, but insisted that the maintenance of a free economy required that labor disputants have the right to negotiate their own settlements.
The 89-day-old dispute has idled ten unions and is costing the city an estimated $4 million a day. Four papers in the city are on strike, three are closed down by a prior agreement of the publishers, and another has suspended circulation in New York City.
Powers later added, "despite the publishers' repeated position that this is a money strike, this trike involves automation and it involves the essential right to negotiate that has been denied to us by these publishers for more than ten years."

The New York Post, one of the papers which had closed down voluntarily in the dispute, returned to the newsstands Monday.
