CITY "DISTURBED AND LOST" WITHOUT ITS NEWSPAPERS BIRMINGHAM. Ala., Aug. 2. Birmingham, southern steel manufacturing center, has been without its daily newspapers for three weeks, and as a result its 268.000 citizens are "disturbed and lost." Mavor W.

News dealers report a daily stampede for the few hundred out-of-city dailies they are able to get; Printers on the three newspapers walked out after publishers declined to sign an agreement which included the International Typographical Union's (AFL) basic laws for 1945.
