The Jewish Daily Forward announced this week-end that agreements had been reached with employes assuring continuation of publication. The Yiddish-language daily earlier had said it would have to suspend on February 8 unless labor costs were reduced.
Alexander Kahn, general manager of the sixty-one-year-old newspaper, said the agreements provided for a reduction of about 15 percent of the 250 employes and a tightening up on overtime work. The newspaper has a circulation of 80, 000.
