To Stay in Newspaper
Publishing Business
ATLANTA, Aug. 24—'7PI—The In
ternational Typographical Union is
going to stay in the big business
of publishing daily newspapers.
By an overwhelming vote- 304 to
one—delegates to the AFL affiliate'
93rd convention here yesterday rc- ]
jected a proposal to get out of the
daily field.
The contest came on an amend
ment to the by-laws offered by
the Grand Rapids, Mich., delega
tion which would have meant the
death of Unitypo, Inc.
Unitypo was set up by the ITU
to own and operate newspapers in
"monopoly" towns of 10,000 to 20,000
circulation. At present the corpora
tion operates nine tabloid size pap
ers.
The rejected amendment would
have specified that union funds not
be used for the operation of general
circulation newspapers and would
have limited top officers of the ITU
to publication or pamphlets de-ign
ed to keep the membership inform
ed.

Abadan, center of the giant oil in
dustry that produces around 500.000

The spokesman said the new bid
to reopen the talks will be based
on the previous recommendations
drawn up by W. Averell Harriman,
the American trouble-shooter in
Iran. These formed the basis for
the talks just concluded.
