DC. Telegraph Union
Seeks 10 Call Off
Stoppage Tomorrow

Telegraph service in the Nation
may be partially tied up tomorrow
afternoon by a five-hour demon
stration work stoppage which ma
tional leaders of the Commercial
Telegraph Union are trying to call
off.
The leaders. who comprise the
National Co-ordinating Board of the
American Federation of Labor, filed
an application with the National
Labor Relations Board under the
Smith, -Connally Act for a strike
vote among its $4,000 members.
In view of this action, they recon-
mended abandonment of a stoppage
similar to the recent demonstration
of telephone workers, which had
been planned for pm. to pm.
tomorrow.
About TOO members OF the WASH
ington local of the union, No. "a,
met last night at the Hamilton
Hotel and voted to call off the
demonstration.
Up to Other Locals.
j. A. Payne, general chairman of
the unions Western Union Division,
sent kilograms to other locals re-
questing them to take similar action.
Uninterrupted telegraph service on
national scale tomorrow depends
on the locals acting on these mes
sages.
The National Co-ordinating Board,
which is comprised of Mr.. Payne,
w. Lee Cooney, general president
of the CTU. and John G. Hemby,
general secretary and treasurer Of
the Telegraph Employees Union, Is
sued a statement of its grievances.
1t said the strike vote was sought
in protest against the refusal of the
company to grant 'one dime in
wage increases and against the War
Labor Board because of its gross
ly unfair and inconsiderate wage
directive Of a mere 4-cent hourly
per capita wage increase"
There have been only two national
telegraph strikes, In 1907 and In
1919. The workers lost both of them.
The workers who would be called
out on a strike are the Morse key
operators, who are now in a minor
ity; the printer machine and tele-
type operators, linesmen, Western
Union messengers, maintenance and
office clerical help.
WLB Policy Assailed.
The union statement complained
about "the ill-co-ordinated policy of
the National war Labor Board,
which is in such an utter state of
confusion that it can issue one di-
rective calling for increases OF 4
cents (outside of New York;, while
Its regional office in New York is
issuing another directive calling for
an increase of 10 cents an hour
Western Union employees outside
New York are organized in the AFL
union, while those in New York
are CIO. This results from the ac-
ton of the NLRB in 1889 in declar-
ing the Association of Western
Union Employees a company-dom-
mated union and ordering it's disso-
luton. In the ensuing election to
choose collective bargaining repre-
sentatives CIO won in New York
and the AFL union elsewhere.
A spokesman for the Washington
local said the employees consider
themselves In a substandard wage
industry. He pointed out that
Morse operators here get 10 to s5
cents an hour, printer operators
(they work at a keyboard which
controls an automatic typewriter

Citations get $3.50 an hour.

Questions And Answers
About The AFL's Free
Trade Union Fund

spend more money in this country for
organizing activities instead of un-
dertaking to send money abroad?
A: No matter how much would be
done in this direction, there will al
ways De criticism more, serious
thought is that if we had one hundred
per cent organization in this country,
our unions would be defenseless
against competition by poorly paid
workers in other countries. By re-
building trade unions abroad, we are
also protecting and improving Ameri-
can wage and living standards. The
argument might be raised that relief
should not be sent to others so long
as there is hardship in this country
Yet, all fair-minded people realize that
| there are degrees of hardship, and
that there is moral obligation and
material interest on our part to ex-
tend relief to oppressed peoples.
@: Aren't there too many appeals
for funds?
A: The American people are in the
fortunate position of being best able
to offer assistance to those who have
suffered from the war. The Free
Trade Union Fund is asking for con-
tributions of 25c to 81 per person.
While treasury gifts from local
unions are welcome, the Free Trade
Union Committee wants every MEM
Der of all A. F. of l.. unions to have
the opportunity of making individual
contributions to the Fund
@: There's plenty of time. Can't
we contribute to the Free Trade
Union Fund later?
A: Foreign industries are reopen
ing now! The fate of the workers
abroad is being decided now. If we
are to aid them at all we must do so
now. Only efficiently functioning free
and independent trade unions can pro-
tect the workers.

tional controls. In addition, A. F. of l.,

untary contributions through Local
Unions would be the most effective
demonstration of our support TO

O.: What is the relationship of the
recent London Trade Union Confer
ence and the A. r. of LIS Free Trade
Union Fund?
A: There is no conflict between the
two. The Free Trade Union Fund
was created because appeals were
made by Leaders of trade union
movements abroad. The Fund was de-
cided upon and planned by A. F. of L..
leaders long before the London Con-

there are not many drives. 1t is the
duty and privilege of the private

ticularly, the union spokesman and
officer, to act according to his con
