LEOPOLD VILLE, The Congo UP) Airborne Belgians and Congo troops swiftly captured the rebel capital of Stanleyville Tuesday, but about 30 white hostages herded onto a city square paid with their lives for the rout of the Communist-backed insurgents. The U.S. Government quickly urged that the rebels be captured and brought to justice for the murder of two Americans in the massacre.

I grew increasingly irked at the hardship to their members. The Teamsters Union warned that truck drivers would cease respecting the picket lines and other crafts were considering a similar back- to-work ultimatum when the accord came."

The Free Press has been doing business with some unions, such as the Typographical Union, for more than 100 years.

We are proud that bur employes are among the highest-paid newspaper men and women in America, and that wage levels are well above most other industries. We did not decide lightly to "take" this strike. We strongly believe that as the only morning newspaper in Michigan, we have a public responsibility to publish every day in the year. But it is also our responsibility to operate on a sound financial basis in order to serve the community. So we had to be willing to be shut down as long as necessary to protect the interests of our readers, employes and advertisers.

Responsibility to Be Shared Now, what of the future? We believe that special nature of the newspaper business places on us an extra responsibility in carrying on our free collective bargaining. We believe this because any disruption is far more damaging than the great economic loss to ourselves and the community. It infringes on the people's basic right to know. It follows that this extra degree of responsibility must be shared by the union leaders as well. Labor unions hold extraordinary powers, often controlled by a few individuals.

Their unique position of special legal privilege is backed by a custom of refusing to cross another union's picket line without regard to the rights or wrongs of the dispute. Used irresponsibly, these powers are damaging to everyone and, ultimately, harmful especially to unions themselves. The public indignation in Detroit over what Bishop Emrich described as a "scandalous misuse of power" indicates how the American public finally will turn against the excesses of any special-interest group. This is exactly what responsible national labor leaders recognized when they themselves helped bring the newspaper strike to an end. For ourselves, we will continuously re-examine our own attitudes and invite a problem-solving approach to employe relations within limits which preserve a healthy enterprise.

A Pledge for the Future We are grateful to all of you readers, to the many who were thrown out of work by so few, and to the thousands of others who expressed sympathy and understanding. We pledge again to give you the best newspaper we can produce.

Rumors spread unchecked. Other news media continued operating, but for most people the reports were incomplete. They were forced to live not in a blackout, but In a fog. This was an intolerable situation, and a dangerous one in a democratic, free-labor, free-enterprise society.

Also, in that time, the business pace of Detroit has been slowed by the inability of the Free Press and News to print an estimated 17,803,564 lines of advertising the lubricant of America's free economy. This, too, can never be recovered. Package One of Best Beginning almost a year ago we settled with the other unions for what was regarded as the best package of increased wages and benefits in recent memory. Yet the pressmen and their affiliated paper handlers' union demanded even more and struck for costly added penalties and restrictions. We negotiate 21 different contracts with 14 separate unions.

Each person from reporters who gather news to truckers and then carriers who deliver it is a link in the chain that brings you the paper. To produce fine newspapers in harmony with all these groups we must (1) maintain freedom to improve constantly and compete vigorously, and (2) share the resulting prosperity fairly anff across-the-board with employes in each of these 14 unions who help make it possible. To capitulate and grant costly special concessions to 10 per cent of these employes would have bred labor chaos for years to come. We had no choice. We resisted.
