Description
The controversy in this anti-trust case arose out of a strike which closed down Detroit's two major daily newspapers for about four months. One week after the strike started, plaintiff, The Daily Press, Inc. Daily Press, was incorporated under the laws of Michigan to publish an interim newspaper in Detroit for the duration of the strike. Publication was commenced on July 22, 1964, and ceased on November 22, 1964, when the strike ended.*fn1 Two days before publication was ceased, Daily Press filed the present suit in the District Court against the struck newspapers, The Evening News Association, publisher of the Detroit News [News], Knight Newspapers, Inc., publisher of the Detroit Free Press, [Free Press] and United Press International [UPI], a corporation engaged in worldwide gathering of news and selling of same to newspapers and other media.
