"With the Amsterdam News, according to Aiken Pope, publishers' counsel, who is quoted as giving but "one chance in a hundred of surviving its fight with the New York Newspaper Guild, the labor dispute took on added impetus this week with the arrest of 25 pickets in front of the paper's offices at 2293 Seventh Avenue. Two dozen pickets, strikers and sympathizers were arrested by police Monday afternoon and evening after the publishers are said to have made repeated calls to the 32nd Precinct over a period of days."
