 Employees Affected

Philadelphia, May l. (UP) = Strikes at six radio plants and an aircraft factory halted construction of U. S. Army bombing planes and threw nearly 300 persons out of work toGay.
 A walkout in six shops of the Philco Radio and Television Cor poration and the Philadelphia Stor- age Battery Company, was called when management and union off, cis.ls disagreed on seniority rights at a conference called to renew union contracts.
 The United Electrical and Radio Workers Union, 8 O. I. O. affiliate, demands righer wages and a new agreement.
 More than 475 members of the United Automobile Workers Union started a sit-down strike in the Hall Aluminium Aircraft Corporation, de- manding union recognition, closed shop, seniority rights and wage in creases. Construction on several army bombers was halted.
 George E. Deming, executive vice. president of the Storage Battery Company, said the workers violated their contract in calling an imme- diate walkout.
 Deming said the union "had an agreement with the company which was still in effect and contained a provision that there would be no cessation of work during negotia- tions."
 The agreement, according to Dem- ing, provided for arbitration in "any matter which could not be settled directly between union and com- pany."
