LEADERS LAY PLANS.
Electrical and Radio Union Heads to
Talk With G. e. Officials.

NEW YORK, March 13 (P).-Broad
plans for organizing the Nations
100000 or more electrical manufac-
turing and communication workers
along industrial lines we're laid today
at meeting of union leaders allied
with John l.. Lewis.
The meeting, attended by members
Of the Executive Board OF the United
Electrical and Radio Workers of
America, which was organized year
ago, was called primarily to perfect a
program for the beginning of collective
bargaining talks Monday with officials
OF the General Electric Co.
Expressing confidence that "satis-
factory agreement" covering that COM
pany's $4,000 employees would be
reached, James B. Carey, 25year-old
president of the union, disclosed that
a similar conference would be sought
soon with officials Of the Westinghouse
Electric dS Manufacturing Co.
Carey estimated there were more
than $4,000 Westinghouse employees
eligible for membership in the union.
As in the case OF General Electric, he
declined to say how many already had
been enrolled.
100000 in Industry.
William Mitchell, national repre-
sentative Of the union. said Govern
ment statistics indicated total Of
more than 100000 workers were
employed in the electrical manufactur-
ing industry, exclusive OF those in
small shops, and he estimated at least
100000 more were engaged in the
communications field.
I'VE are going to organize them all, |"
he said. I'VE already have organizers
all over the country"
In addition to Westinghouse, ma
tional agreement will be sought with
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Co. Ultimately, Carey said. it was
hoped to negotiate on an industry
wide scale with the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association or some
other employees group.

tempt to negotiate on national scale.
Local discussions have been carried on
at 2 OF the company's is plants
at Lynn. Mass, and at Schenectady,
N. Y.-but this will be the first effort
to obtain a contract covering the en-
ployes In all plants.
II believe" said Carey, that very
happy relationship will be established
between the union and the manage
ment."
Officials Are Silent.
No statement concerning the COM
panys attitude has been forthcoming
since President Gerard Swope an
nounced on March that the unions
request for a general conference had
been granted. At that time he said
the United Electrical and Radio
Workers Union had been chosen as
the collective bargaining agency at
Lynn and Schenectady as result "of

plants"
William r. Burroush, vice president
in charge of manufacturing will be
the principal spokesman for the man
agement. A committee headed by
Carey will represent the union.
An eight-point program will be pre-
sented by the union when the two
groups meet in the company's New
York Offices Monday afternoon. The
program calls for a blanket increase
Of 10 cents an hour for all employees,
including those on salaries; increased
compensation for certain shifts, re-
vision upward of bonuses and elimi-
nation Of all forms of the group in
centive or speed-up system" of pay
ment.
Because it will be their first meeting
on a companywide basis, Carey was
unable to predict how long the con-
ference would continue, but he was
emphatically optimistic as to its out
come.
Following the same procedure adopt
ed by the General Electric Division
a delegation of IS Westinghouse
employees met at union headquarters
tonight to instruct the national officers
to petition for collective bargaining
conference on their behalf, and to
elect negotiating committee.
Carey indicated tte wage and work
ing conditions to be requested of West
inghouse would be virtually the same
as those that will be discussed with
General Electric next week.
The United Electrical and Radio
Workers was organized at Buffalo on
March 81, 1886, by group of locals
Of the radio and allied trades which
refused to merge with the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical Work
ers. The insurgent locals were among
the first to be suspended by the
American Federation of Labor for in
dustrial organization activities.
In selecting General Electric as the
first objective Of its drive to organize
the electrical industry on a horizontal
basis, the united will be treating with

and IS minimum daily wage, already
announced by Fairless.
Recommendations discussed by the
General Scale Committee included:
Two weeks vacations with pay for
all workers with one or more years
service.
Elimination OF inequalities in pay
for similar work in different plants.
Dismissal notice Of 10 days for all
employees
Seniority rights.
OF all the questions, that OF estab-
fishing equality Of pay offers the big
gest stumbling block to agreement, in
the opinion Of labor observers. Steel
workers contend that in some plants
men on the same job are paid dozen
different rates.
Members Of the steel workers Or
ganizing Committee said whatever So
luton Of these questions was agreed
to at Mondays conference would be
used as guide for collective bar
gaining negotiations with all tho
plants in the Nations ve-billion-dol-
lar steel industry.
Contract Adopted.
Already the Carnegie Illinois con-
tract with the union has been adopted
by one of the larger independent steel
producers-the Blaw-Knox Co.
President William P. Witherow
signed a similar agreement Friday
night affecting about 5000 workers
in the parent company and four SUBJ
sidiaries-Lewis Foundry d. Machine,
Groveton, Pa; Pittsburgh Rolls Co.;
National Steel Castings, Pittsburgh,
ant the National Alloy Steel Of
Blawnox, Pa.
A spokesman for the steel union
said officials Of the Spang Chalfant
& Co. had indicated they would sign
union contract within the next
week, affecting more than 5000 in
their plants at Etna and Ambridge.
Pa. The company issued this state
ment:

Meeting Opposition.
The adherents of John L. Lewis
drive to establish one big industrial
union for all of the country's 10000
steel workers are meeting their heav-
lest opposition from supporters of the
employe representation plan at Car
negie- e-Illinois.
F. w. Bohne, chairman of the Pitts
burgh district joint council of employe
representatives of the company, has
announced plans to make the en-
ployes' group an independent unit in
order to strengthen its defense against
inroads by the Lewis union.
Bohne said all $1,000 employees in
the l8 Pittsburgh district plants of
the company, excepting Lewis follow
ers, would be asked to vote en- the
plans to set up a collective bargaining
agency on a self-support basis. The
present plan is financed by the COM
pany, which pays employe representa-
tives for time lost attending meetings.

Chicago returned approximately $500
persons to pay rolls tonight. Mean

meet the strikers unless Joseph NJ
Jacobs, attorney for the newly formed
Midwest Taxicab Drivers Union, is
barred from negotiations.

through windows of cabs driven by
non-striking drivers or for molesting
the drivers in other ways. Two police
men, Sergts. Rocco Filetti and William
Foley, were also arrested on charges
of assault and battery brought by
strikers who claimed the officers gave
