WASHINGTON, Nov. 49, Up =
President Roosevelt's special COM
mittee to investigate the wartime
rise in living costs reported today
that for the bulk of wage earners
it amounts to 20 to 80 per cent.
Rejecting union labor claims
that the rise is about "A per cent,
Chairman William H. Davis, with
two industry members concurring
Sin the MAN, concluded that 3
IL to 4 IL percentage points
should be added to the 25.5 per

TELEPHONE STRIKE
SPREADS in OHIO
Cleveland Operators Will
Walk Out AS Soon AS
Picket Lines Set Up

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 10 -lR-
The strike of Ohio telephone opera.
tors spread to the populous north.
ein industrial belt tonight when
Mrs. Lena Eisenhart, president Of
the Northeastern Ohio Traffic coun.
Gil of the Telephone Workers union,
announced that 1900 Cleveland op.
orators would walk out as soon as
picket lines could be established.
Mrs. Eisenhart said that a mem.
bership meeting of the Akron COM
Gil, representing some 300 opera
tors, was in progress, and that
she expected to receive word very
shortly from union local meetings
at Canton and Youngstown.
Union operators in 20 cities al
ready were out, 10 of them in sup
port of strike called by the Ohio
Federation of Telephone Workers at
Dayton early yesterday in opposi-
ton to use of out-of-town personnel
there by the Ohio Bell Telephone
Co.
R. G. Pollock, president of the
federation, told a regional WLB
board at Cleveland that he was
powerless to order the operators
back to their boards and added
he believed the only solution was
for the Ohio Bell to remove its
transferees out Of Dayton. Then,
he said, the independent union
would negotiate.
Pollock was called before the
board to show why a back-to-work
order issued yesterday 0was not
complied with. Long distance SER
vice has been hampered severely
in all cities, and local service
crippled in those communities
where there is no automatic dial
system.
