The 700-member newspaper deliverers' union local struck The Daily News last night, setting off a climactic labor showdown with the management of the financially ailing paper, the nation's second largest metropolitan daily. Within minutes, eight other unions representing most of the paper's 2,400 unionized workers announced that they would honor the deliverers' picket lines at its printing plants in Brooklyn, Garden City, L.I., Kearny, N.J., and at The News's main editorial offices in Manhattan.

TLC Beatrice Net Doubles

Date: 25 October 1990

TLC Beatrice International, the food company controlled by the New York financier Reginald F. Lewis, said yesterday that its third-quarter net income doubled as a result of higher sales of ice cream products in Europe and favorable exchange rates. The company, based in New York, reported net income of $23.5 million, or $2.14 a share, compared with $11.8 million, or $1 a share, in the corresponding period last year. Sales increased 38.1 percent, to $405.5 million, from $293.7 million a year ago. "Though favorable exchange rates helped us, particularly in the third quarter, these results nevertheless show real unit gains from our operations," said Mr. Lewis, who is the company's principal stockholder. He noted that the company's net debt was below $100 million at the end of September, down from $513 million in 1987. Mr. Lewis acquired the international operations of the former Beatrice Companies through a leveraged buyout in 1987. Earlier this year, TLC Beatrice canceled plans for a public offering, citing unfavorable market conditions.

Court Request By Polly Peck

Date: 25 October 1990

Asil Nadir, struggling to keep Polly Peck International P.L.C. afloat, today called for the appointment of court administrators to run the British company. In a bid to stave off one of Britain's biggest corporate failures, Polly Peck's directors decided to petition the High Court to appoint the administrators. Polly Peck said it believed that "taking this step will result in the survival of the company and its operations as going concerns." Polly Peck owes its creditors more than $:1 billion, or about $1.94 billion. On Oct. 12, Mr. Nadir, Polly Peck's chairman and chief executive, secured a standstill on debt repayments until Nov. 9. But as a condition, he had to meet working capital needs of some $:8 million a week, or about $15.5 million, and Mr. Nadir failed to show he had come up with fresh money. Polly Peck ran up heavy debts after big acquisitions, including Del Monte's fresh fruit business and Sansui electronics. Polly Peck's stock began to decline in mid-August when Mr. Nadir withdrew a bid to take the company private.

Months of Stalled Talks, Years of Rising Troubles

Date: 26 October 1990

By James Barron

James Barron

The labor dispute at The Daily News flared up after 10 months of stalled negotiations. But the paper's troubles had been brewing for years. The News -- founded just after World War I and famed in its early years for a gritty daily diet of sensational shootouts and circus murder trials -- was far weaker at the end of the 1980's than when that decade began. In 1990 The News could no longer boast that it had the largest weekday circulation of any metropolitan newspaper in the nation.

Bell Atlantic Plans Earnings Charge

Date: 26 October 1990

The Bell Atlantic Corporation said it would take a one-time charge against its fourth-quarter earnings of about $40 million, or 10 cents a share. The charge will reduce the value on Bell Atlantic's books of the company's non-telephone financial services, which include equipment leasing and lending to other companies and real estate projects. Bell Atlantic, based in Philadelphia, said that the businesses were doing well and had no credit problems but that their market value had fallen. Marion M. Boucher, an analyst at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Inc., said Bell Atlantic's investments outside the telephone industry now appeared more vulnerable to an economic downturn than many investors had thought. Bell Atlantic's stock fell 87.5 cents yesterday, to $50.125, on the New York Stock Exchange.
