900 Providence White
 Collar Factory Workers
 Strike ForM Minimum Pay

Providence, R. l., Oct. z6 (UP)-About 900 clerical workers staged New Eng lands largest white collar strike in years at the Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Co., today and an almost com plete work stoppage resulted when 1000 union employees at the plant refused to cross picket lines.
 Full support of the strike was given by the Rhode Island State Federation of Labor (AFL) which backed the demands of the Of- flee Employees International union (AFL) in its demands for a miIl- imum wage of 65 cents per hour.
 Perhaps 150 non-union employees in the tool making plant-largese in the state-crossed the picket lines and company officials said that the establishment would re- main open for those who wished 70 work. Not & member of any union reported for duty.
 Unions Support Strike
 President Arthur w. Devine Of the state federation said that all unions, including truck drivers, that had any dealings with the Brown & Sharpe Co. would support the strike.
 We tried to avert the strike but the company refused to arbitrate so we had no other alternative" De- vine said.
 "The American Federation of La Dor stands 100 per cent behind the clerical workers. The stoppage is complete but 1t was forced by the company"
 At a meeting yesterday with Act- ing State Labor Director Joseph ~. Cahir, company president Henry 70. Sharpe said that the company would not arbitrate because 1t alone knew what 1t could pay its workers.
 Twice the white collar workerS had voted on the matter and twice they overwhelmingly favored 2 strike.
 No violence was reported as picket lines were established ct each of the plants various gates. Night shift workers still were on duty as the strike started but President Raymond J. Janlison of the Clerical Union said that none of the day shift would report for work.
 Throughout yesterday. Actin g State Labor Director Joseph T. Cahir had conferred with the strik- CTS and company officials in an at- tempt to end the dispute. Management Of tile tool ccln- pany had warned that if the strike went through 1t would be in viola tion of union agreement and that the white collar workers would Dc subject to discharge.
