PEACE VOTED

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 80
G.N.S0.-Peace pacts in the Pa

stamped Official" today by 10000
members of the seven West Coast
maritime unions.
Executive committees Of the sew
eral unions announced that the
referendum ballots had been put
in the mails. They were expected
to be back in San Francisco head
quarters of the strike committee
early next week.
It was believed possible. how
ever, that West Coast shipping
might be resumed Monday-that
strike leaders would act on tele-
graphic reports of the balloting.
According to strike leaders, it
is a foregone conclusion that the
tentative agreements drawn with
shippers would receive official ap-
proval Of the rank and file Of the
unions.
Even If all the unions do not
approve the agreements, it was
pointed out that a majority favor
able vote would end the strike.

BIG PHONE JOB
FOR INTERIOR

The biggest transfer Job the
telephone company ever had to
cope with in Washington was the
change to the dial and manual
telephone system in the new In.
terror Building to be opened
shortly.
1t involved 2.100 telephones with
their extensions. The system is
now handling 1900 main lines
and 100 extensions and could
handle, in a pinch. $500 main
lines. Such a system would be
capable of serving the entire city
Of Hagerstown, Md. 1t serves
both the old and new Interior
buildings.
Eighteen operators are required
to handle the switchboard, and
100000 conductor feet Of wire
are strung within the building for
the telephone distribution system
and some millions more in the
phone equipment room. Even the
passenger and freight elevators are
equipped with telephones.
