newsprint lost about

cause of the current newspaper strikes in New York and Cleve- land

The worst effects of the ‘ strikes are yet to he felt. says -_. urray Savage. secretary - i the Newsprint Association of ‘ Canada.

He. estimates the strikes are costing Canada “easily 65.000 tons a month" in newsprint. sales. Average monthly produc- tion in 1962 was about 550. tons. The New York strike. now 11 weeks old, causes a 10 or II per cent drop in Canadian sales alone.

A l t h o u g h most Canadian newsprint producers in eastern Canada have already cut their production rate substantially. Mr. Savage lists several reasons why the worst effects of the strike are yet to come:

Thourrh the Cleveland strike. now more i an 12 weeks old. shows some prospects of an early settlement. there Is no such prospect in the bitter New York struggle.

TWO PAPERS SHAKY

Al least two of the New York newspapers are in shaky finan- cial condition and are consid- ered uncertain to resume pub- lication when the strike Is solved. This would reducn Can- ada's sales to the large New York market.

The. newspapers are likely to have smaller circulations, at least temporarily. when the strike is settled. People will have formed patterns of living without newspapers, and the man who bought two a day might now find he could get along on one.

Advertising revenue will have gone to other media. and news-

. papers will have to fight to get their advertising space hack.

Since newspapers vary their number of pages in accordance

with the amount of advertising space, newspapers will tend to be. smaller after resuming pub- lication. at least for a while. The amount of newsprint sold

is the product of the circulation i

numher pages. is proportionate to ad. space. and therefore

times the which vertisin: newsprint kets will be lower. FELT NEXT FALL

Even if the strikes are solved tomorrow, Mr. Savage says, about half the effect of the la- bor force won't. be felt until next fall's wood-cut. is under way. About half the labor cost of a ton of newsprint is in manufac-

turing. the other half in wood-;

cutting. Wood {or the mills is cut In the fall. and left suiting by‘

streams until spring. When the wood out last fall arrives at the mills this spring, it will amount to more than can be handled un- der curtailed production sched- ules

"So out fall, there will be a surplus of cut wood at the mills reducing the amount that needs to be. cut in the woods. So far. the strikes have reduced next fall's wood-cut. by at least 150: 000 cords

Many mills have cushioned the effects of the strike on pro- duction by producing newsprint for storage. For example, the

Quebec North Shore Paper Co. ‘

mill at Baie Comeau. which is owned by interests operating «he New York Daily News. now has no market for its produc- tion.

CUT WORK WEEK

But rather than stop produc- ing entirely. the company has cut the work week to five days from six days. and put the pro- duction into storage.

"But there's only so long you can do that." says Mr. Savage. in the case of North Shore Pas per. the company has set March 20 as the date when production will haie to be severely cur- tailed because of lack of stor- age space.

Large and small newsprint companies have been affected.

"That's one good thing about It." says Mr. Savage. “We're all in the same boat. Newsprint makers try to spread their cus- tomers for stability. and pub- lishers try to spread their source of supply."
