The Mysterious Left

The executive committee of the New York Newspaper Guild last week called on the carpet the newsmen on three left-wing publications. The charge: the left-wing workers were being too kind to their bosses. Specifications:

P: On the pinko National Guardian, staffers were accused of violating the pay scale ($60 minimum for writers) in their Guild contract by kicking back part of their salaries as "loans" to management to keep the near-bankrupt weekly going.

P: Guildsmen on the pinko Daily Compass were accused of working in collusion with Editor & Publisher Ted Thackrey in the immediate economy firing of 13 employees, despite a Guild contract clause requiring 30 days' notice. P: Guildsmen on the Communist Daily Worker were charged with siding with management to keep the old pay scale ($71 minimum for reporters), while the Guild's local leaders were trying to raise Worker salaries in line with those on other Manhattan dailies.
