With This Week's Number The Literary Digest
Resumes Its Regular Method of Publication
120 Pages Many Entertaining Pictures
y BOUT nine weeks ago the p ressmen employed in the publish-
m m business in New York City presented demands to their
"" employers for increased pay, and other conditions so radical
that they were necessarily refused. The employing printers offered a
temporary increase of $6.00 a week in wages, instead of the $14.00
asked for, and expressed a willingness to submit all demands, including
that of wages, to arbitration. This was refused by the pressmen and
a general walk-out ensued. A few days afterwards, the typesetters, in
sympathy with the striking pressmen left their employment ostensibly
upon a "vacation."' The result was a tie-up of practically every maga
zine published in New York City with the exception of THI LIT-'
ERARY DIGEST, which, as an emergency measure, resorted to the
photo-engraving process of publication; and the magazine has
appeared ever since in typewriter type-face.
Now, the compositors and pressmen have returned to work upon
the terms originally offered by the employing printers the submission
of all demands to arbitration.
Consequently THE LITERARY DIGEST, commencing this week;
December 13, resumes its old familiar appearance.
It is interesting to know that the "Digest's" experiment in typeless
printing has started more than two score inventors to work albng the
line to perfect methods that may make typesetting superfluous and. ren
der Gutenberg's famous invention of movable types an outworn" de
vice. Some of the interesting news-articles in this week's "Digest" are:
