RIVAL TELEPHONE
GROUPS IN BOSTON
SIGN AGREEMENT

Boston, Aug. "a plan Of agree
ment providing for the Amalgamation
OF Local la and the Boston Local
afhliated with the Telephone OPERA
tors Department, International Bro
therhood Of Electrical Workers. has
been signed by representatives of the
rival groups of telephone operators in
Greater Boston, it was announced to-
night. The division in the ranks
which was precipitated when Julia S.
OConner as department president,
revoked the charter Of Local IA,
continued throughout the strike of the
operators in New England last month,
when members of Local la refused
to obey the strike order issued by
Miss OConner. AS a result service
in the metropolitan area was main
tanned with little inconvenience being
experienced by the public.
The statement which was signed
among others by Miss O'Conner and
la, stated that the objective of the
agreement is the unification of the
opposing forces in the metropolitan
area once more. 'in order that there
may be accomplished Immediately the
return to their positions of all locked
out employees"
The strike was concluded after one
month at the company's terms. Many
girls who were accepted for employ
ment while the strike was in force re-
tanned their positions and many of the
strikers were unable to get their jobs
back. The striking operators had de-
manded a seven hour day and higher
wages.
The agreement calls for joint
meeting on September 6 of members
Of both organizations at which terms
for the amalgamation of the two rae
tons will be laid before the members
for ratification.
The move toward peace between
the factions is said to have had lts
inception at the recent meeting III
Montreal of the international Bro
therhood of Electrical workers.
Leaders of the international union
and the American Federation OF La
hor are said to have met with repre-
sertatives of the rival unions but the
proposed plans for the amalSamatloh
have been kept close secret.
