Journeyman pressmen regularly employed at one of the papers for the past two years would have job guarantees, but the attrition program was viewed by the union as a threat to the livelihood of many part-time employees, The Times and News but not the Post had offered an initial $23 increase to the pressmen's weekly base pay of $350.18 on the day shift and $361.41 nights.

New York (AP) A pressmen's union called a strike Wednesday night against the New York Times, the Daily News and the New York Post, and the city's three major newspapers immediately closed. The strike was called after the newspapers posted unilateral new working conditions in the pressrooms. The two sides had failed to reach agreement on a new contract to replace one that expired March 30.

(UPI) An explosion believed caused by sparks from a welder's torch destroyed an oil storage tank Wednesday, killing three workmen and injuring two others. Cotton County Sheriff Paul McKown of Walters said an oil line being repaired by the men, working in an empty slush pit 40 to 50 feet from the tank, apparently contained an explosive gas. "It was a real bad explosion," McKown said. "There wasn't any fire, but they were killed instantly. It was just one of those things you hope you never see, and then you still can't imagine.

It just blew hell out of things." McKown identified the dead as Archie Milburn, 58; Euall Ray Douglas, 30, and Joe Lewis, 61. All were from Temple, employed as roustabouts by the Kawanee Oil Co. rjf Wichita Falls, Texas. Two other men were treated at a Lawton hospital and released.
