TAKE NO ACTION
ON GAS FILTERS
STRIKE PLANT

The attempt OF the gasfittors'
union to place tho Seattle Lighting
Co. on the unfair list. at tho same
time calling out the members OF
other unions employed by that com
pany. caused spirited discussion
that occupied most OF the time OF
tho Seattle Central Labor council.
at It's meeting Wednesday evening.
Frank Cottcrili submitted n rec.
ommendation Of the executive board
lndorsing tho request Of the gas
filters union 10 place the company
on the unfair list. because II had
refused to pay the rates that the
union asked. and had employed
non-unionists.
The proposed action WAS vigor-
ously opposed by Business Agent ~.
J. Phillips, OF tho gas workers
union, who argued that the demands
that had been made by the pipe
filters were unreasonable.
lie explained that the wage con.
trncts with the company expired
September 1. and that satisfactory
new agreements, Including closed
shop conditions and 81 day for
common laborers. had been signed
up by his union and by the engi.
necrs. This schedule. he said. paid
So a dry to two steamfitters. who
belonged to the gas workers union.
Tho gnsfitters, altho working on
cold pipes. made the steamfitters'
rate their st[pdard. and asked for
SO. while the city was only paying
t475 for the same work.
When the company rejected this
demand, said Phillips. over 40 pipe
filters quit the job, saying that they
could do better elsewhere, and asked
the gas workers union TO call
strike.
Several delegates condemned tho
policy Of individual unions making
agreements without consulting With
others engaged in the same In.
dustry.
At the request OF President X. l..
Proctor, the representatives OF tho
unions were ordered To get together,
and the matter was laid over TO acxt
weeks meeting.
