Now to the home part of the National Park after your presence here on the scene and being asked questions. While they're holding. Our members voted by secret ballot two thousand and twenty second they were surprised when they were presented with. Within. The night Governor that. The Mayor. Would welcome a new. Kind of. Was he there were two. Polls about having a card with the side to solve all the problems but my doubt there are a good chance for a compromise on the. Republicans have not indicated that they would rise above ten. If they fail two of them with you out of the strike if you are making progress as of the deadline are you willing to extend that deadline and that would depend upon what the progress was and what this is where the time that might. Work out for two o'clock deadline but naturally we were in agreement in principle that was a question of jabbing into Word. Agreement with. The DI Webb of words and. Now the armistice without. It is and it doesn't. Yesterday we had some discussion and want to have some discussion on some twenty five open facts of the contract. They. Haven't changed they have not. I asked. Listen to apart from powers of the international part of the afternoon and here in the reception room in city hall meet with other leaders of the strike that that night tonight in the newspaper that was right and I return you all to the studios of the N.Y.C. will if you will and or most of the progress here at city hall. But they're going to. Publish a book right here at city hall sending a micro. Or them and we can reach him and quite a crowd here. Then we get a word with. That word please put them to N.Y.C. on the ice I think we made some crying wires last year while I saw the size of us. On his way him from the reception room awaiting his meeting with have been arriving at. Is on its way up Washington but momentarily also Hillary sets in Rome with her on the. Early bird from our president of the graphical Union. That's about the size of a from city hall the present time to get her in the public sphere with. Representatives from the. Now we're all waiting for the arrival of the mayor and if we can break the deadlock or the weapon strike that will midnight tonight and your papers write this with W N Y C and yours for turning your knowledge to the studio and live in a small building. There has just arrived on the steps of City Hall. Then a microphone for him. Saying this meeting. Now. Now you. Have them always expecting something like Oh I thought. They had. Only one point the point of view. Well let's test. What. You have there isn't any but when. I was matter of fact I was at the go to Washington for a couple of hours just got back on the stand for the Mr Power said that the first real progress had been made this afternoon and you know anything about that as I said I just got in Washington and there I am cancel the dinner tonight as I correct in Washington the White House right now in the care. Of the great. Thank you very much. By you with the last. Hour having. Brought some of us to the hall where I'd like to broach. The situation there in your reporters as I am at the reception make with a. Representative. Will keep you informed us to further developments here at city hall as they are. With the W N Y's senors returning and I would like. W N Y C A new. York City Hall there M.L. Wagner brochure like they're being asked my question was running more like that my friends you know have my Wagner. Out of the fire. So I'm going with the sensitive one question please when was the audience that the strike deadline was that my absence of the main problem that you're trying to work out will you people say on first of all efforts what they made Yes I'll go. On and I think if they go over that limit then well the in the morning hours I assume that would be so but I don't think there's any benefit in making answers to every questions at this point we see how I'm doing this my area and I've got a lot in my view that you're you're you're you're now settling if you're well it's a little luck and hard work and I think it's hard work now operates on the part of all of us and I'm an optimist and I think climate the favorable for example I think one of the last and of the best place to have a find that out for you is to let me get in and talk about the organizing a welcome your entry and the fact. That the going on and. I hope that continue that that. Oh my Wagner with the reception almost every quarter and Bud Light camera and microphone it will. Live with this and I'm with Brother and swam up with him by the report. Will be spending by. Putting all. Of all up and. Then your wife will. Progress. W N Y C and you was in the city hall from the room returning your studio W. and was the. You know the year of the. And you point. That. That. Very determined. On that is sure that is their position why then we have a very delicate situation if Mayor Wagner asked you to extend them well you have a great respect for our the mayor and I would certainly give serious consideration entering class. As Possible you're thinking of a probability at this time. I doubt that the mayor will last that unless we're in a position where it looks like that we can accomplish something you might want to your opinions on whether you can or can't put something in my. Brain we're going now while we're going to have to rush to make the deadline. Well it's possible it can. Terminate yours automation and you can almost always just say. No I don't. You know when you're in with. Automation and you're like. If you. Want to launch what do you think about well I will miss players right you. Well I don't think that we had separate all of this years and say anyone I was on the strike on the one might strike on a company as yes sure. You want to. Say it but there are some minor. Internal problems that affect all of the. Shops on the subcommittees are working on those they're making some. Significant things will happen happen within these next four hours to avoid a strike. Conclusion of the contract. Basis on which we've got Bernie strike and if we haven't reached that point then we have a definite firm commitment from them that they will negotiate on these things and I have moved away from their position I think in my companion to go shooting for a while and see whether or not. I concluded tonight because there are there are differences and the gray of importance between the automation issue and the economic issue at this moment I wouldn't place any difference and I'm one of them pardon the losses yet how much progress has been made let's say on the solution of the automation problem and has any progress been made and making any changes in the economic demands on offer I say the question of automation there lingering among prostitutes of all and and principle and I believe that it will be possible to put that in the language that will solve the automation problem as far as economics are concerned if the Empire's zation is that they have negotiated and wage increase of five dollars a week with another unions and there's no collective bargaining opportunity to improve on that then of course our position is and we all have an answer yes or no to the employers possession if we have all yes or no answer to give to them the answer me no. Flexible when you say are on a bargaining table all you're saying if there are some inflexible. As far as that graph of your concern they're always ringing the ball always like always willing to listen to reason and always willing to be reasonable. In reacting to them and are they pretty much any question. On the question of economic status so far as I know they have taken and then flexible position with an opportunity to settle this now or what would you characterize the. Possibility of settling on. It's entirely up to them how they're going. In that they have determined themselves. And if that is there then there's. An opportunity you say yes or no and not to bargain on the question and my answer imagine the world they know. That now you're talking. About some degree of progress and they want the unions out of the mayor they're continuing negotiations against them of the. Respect and admiration for Mayor Wagner and certainly. Had reason for making it serious consideration and I. Think. I think the work rather. Than the run if the fact that Linus Pauling I don't. Know. If they're still in the garage or. When they hold off until I get the. Negotiations will break unless there are some holes. You. Know the do you. Want to. Then buy for spam by the mail and burn and strike the line. The the. The the. I would say I'm concerned about the NIH deadline fires the photo and grave as we're concerned in the machine it's. Just talk to the most frank McGowan and his vice president about brave as. That's my request they're extending the time. And I'll check back with them as they are and gosh actions with representatives have been published as of this point very short time and said within the next hour and the machinists had voted on the twelve o'clock deadline but also voted that if I would request an extension and none of the other unions work out at this point that they would agree to that request and they have great. And giving us an extension to do what we can do the work. Of the problem. Going with the printer's Union. Still going on which has always been signed we were questioning thank you but the point is that their time is about two hours from now and. Certainly you will make that Bankwest that you haven't arrived at some solution that I think we probably will be paying one of my maximum getting. That all depends on how well in the gauche age and said God they were talking and that as I've said on so many occasions and the labor negotiations without doing any good and. Discussing them as well as going on in the public that's a million doesn't help with their reducing the attitude of the negotiations has changed and you through the days and you become involved in it. I think the attitude all along has been a lot better than two years. And I am I right. OK You got it. By. Line of T.V. cameras here. And. I've talked. As the deadline. And agree that but then there's a naming a part on the grave as well continue negotiations for another hour and then we'll have something to say at that time because it almost makes that said there's much better than this thing go out on strike and that's always saying a good omen while. That's negotiations going on and I know what I've already said. About I can show you that. Wouldn't be a continuation of the guy was he actions of there wasn't some progress. Make. That request was made to them. By just out of print as and the photo and grave as both agreed with. The thickness of my eyes. And I'm an optimistic man we just hope that we can get on with the. Idea that the three o'clock in the the area. In the area. That the that set that. May or anybody else to discuss the negotiations. Like this. In public life and. Our Brian Hall is earlier that he would agree to an extension only if there was definite progress. Another way that was his condition you think this condition has been met I think. And that there wouldn't be an extension that there was some progress. That's something on my senior was returning you know of municipal buildings. Are all you know all getting ready for a camera shop right now here we come. Looking for us pictures. And I'm going around I'm. At the starting line you know. What looks like two o'clock in the afternoon again. The rumor is the word before. They can flash pictures. Are waiting. On the other. The word from. Running though is coming right now. Well in response to my request. And the grave. As agreed to continue negotiations and those negotiations will. Take place. Two P.M. this afternoon though at the publisher's headquarters further. GREENMAN. To my request that before the speech given twenty four hours before for the strike deadline. Of the off with well that's so long as there a negotiation. They've agreed to. Stay in these negotiations and this is always a good sign without there anything in the game already your man. Talks will not now be held in City Hall they have felt that taken. Them there we wanted them to have them here to make sure we can get by this deadline and now we have twenty four. Hour notice before any. Strike date would be set. Free and I'm remembering that only one of those. How. Come there was an agreement on all of the terms as Or then. Again these are matters that I am not going to discuss here and to matters if you want to ask one of the bodies and see what they want to discuss. With I would have asked but scaling the ties has to be there and I will be available that's mother on the set here I'll be available at the time of day or night that. If I can be of assistance to work. Naturally would have been more satisfactory than the settlement but certainly short of that that's one as he plays with these were so much area. That. Was two years. Ago that I think two hours ago and. All the others. Are. The other unions. They've had they've had some agreements with. Them and the only other union that's the machine is. That they would abide by my request and extend that time if the union went out another union went out they would under their rules and then I would find them a major if your. Way when there are not a minor issue that a lot of adults and I were there were any number of major issues and minor where any of your views and my yes and some of the issues hadn't been settled we would have been able to make this announcement Thank you I think the thing. The speaking in the rotunda of the hall. Meetings and the efforts to burden strike with publishers and the newspaper writers. To two P.M. this afternoon the publishers had water. W N Y's say new is reporting it all back to the Studios in a municipal building.
