The New York Times and a major independent newspaper delivery company reached separate tentative agreements with the drivers union on Saturday that could insure labor peace in the wholesale distribution of New York's newspapers until the year 2000 and speed the opening of The Times's new printing plant in Edison, N.J. The pacts cover 1,000 drivers for four wholesale distribution companies that deliver The Times, The Daily News, The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal and other publications to newsstands and other outlets in the city and suburbs. The pending sale of the wholesale companies -- two to The Times and two to the independent company, Imperial Delivery Service -- made new agreements for their drivers necessary.

With its circulation and advertising shrinking, the British press has found one surprising success story: Saturday newspapers.
