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.
