TOLEDO FACING
GENERAL
STRIKE

TOLEDO, Ohio, June IA IN.S)
Threat Of a general strike rose
suddenly today to confront
Toledo, already in the grip Of its
second power strike in eight days.
While Federal Mediator John
E. O'Connor, struggled to bring
opposing sides in the power strike
together on some form of settle
ment, announcement came from
the central labor union that its
committee of % will meet to-
morrow at 10 a. m. to consider
the possibilities of a general
strike. This committee consists
Of representatives of each union.
The situation here this after
noon was one of tense quiet.
Picketing by the striking Toledo
Edison Company electrical work
ers continued at the company's
five plants here, but skeleton
forces remained at work and
there was no evidence Of power
failure.
Office Men to Strike
Return to Toledo today of a
committee representing the office
workers union at Toledo Edison
was expected to signal the start
of a strike by that group of $50
workers also.
John E. O'Connor, Labor De-
partment mediator credited with
bringing about a temporary truce
which ended last weeks walkout
in one day, arrived in Toledo and
Immediately began efforts to ar
range negotiations between union
and company officials.
Edward F. MacGrady, Assistant
Secretary of Labor and ace "trou.
BILE shooter" for the Labor Depart
ment, was expected to arrive later
today. MacGrady was dispatched
here last week by Secretary of
Labor Perkins, but cancelled his
plans when O'Connor effected the
temporary settlement.
Fear Strike Spread
Spread of the walkout here to
other electric plants in northwest
ern Ohio served by the Toledo
Edison Company appeared as a
growing threat. A majority Of the
workers at the Defiance plant
were reported here to have gone
out on strike, although the power
plant there was still running, and
union leaders from Toledo an
nounced a meeting Of workers at
Stryker, Ohio, this afternoon.
Without warning, A. F. of L.
union electrical workers of the
Toledo Edison Company voted
unanimously at a meeting late last
night to renew their last weeks
strike for a 20 per cent increase
in wages. Picket lines were estab-
lished at the five Edison plants.
Given No Satisfaction
A union strike committee of IS
met with Oliver S. Myers, union
business agent, shortly before the
general conference of $50 union
members. At the conclusion of
the general meeting a statement
was issued which declared the
electrical workers had received no
satisfaction in their negotiations
at Washington early this week.
The statement also said the
union strike committee had re-
ceived sufficient evidence to be-
lieve the company intended to
delay negotiations and obtain
the benefit of time to defeat the
men in their lawful right to
strike" and charged that the
meeting of Cities Service Com
pany and Henry L. Doherty and
Company, of which Toledo Edi-
son Is a subsidiary, in New York
was a. subterfuge to get the
men to return to work
