By: Mark Fitzgerald DETROIT MAYOR DENNIS Archer, who has frequently sided with strikers during his city's newspaper labor dispute, named a striking Detroit Free Press business reporter, Anthony Neely, as his new press secretary.
Neely, 36, worked at the Free Press from 1992 until the strike began last July 13. He previously worked at the Star Tribune of Minneapolis/St. Paul and the Wichita (Kan.) Eagle.
DETROIT'S STRIKING UNIONS have had bigger victories in their advertising boycott campaign against the Detroit newspapers, but probably none as unique as when they targeted ads for massage parlors. A story on the advertising situation in Detroit appears on page 20.
