A pool of 450 strike bound ships

were those of the Marine Firemen
NMU locals in most ports had
ratified the action of national lead
ers in New York in declaring their
strike ended Friday night. NMU

the walkout.
One CIO official commented in
New York that despite the renewal
of port activity 1T will take a week

The port of Baltimore afso was
freed of pickets late yesterday as
both the Marine Firemen and the

end their strike.
Need Week to Free Port.
More than 130 vessels had been
immobilized in Baltimore by the
strike, and because of the conges-
ton a port official said at least a
week would be required for normal
operations to be attained.
Meanwhile. there were indications
that the Marine Firemen might
withdraw from the Committee for
Maritime Unity, causing a split in
the seven union front formed last
spring The Firemen are an indie
pendent union, the other six are
CIO.

points of policy, and being usually
outvoted 20 to by the bloc of dele
gates from Communist dominated
unions"

The negotiators had not taken
up the matter of wage increases be-
fore relations were broken off. Their
proposals asked an increase from
S1.53 an hour to SO for day work
and 1885 an hour scale for third
shift work.
George P Mallonee, chairman of
the Industrial Relations Committee
of the employer group, said the di-
rect effect of the wage demand
alone would increase the cost of
printing by approximately two
thirds.
In statement issued July 81 the
GAA wage scale committee said
that if wage and other demands
were met, the price for commercial
printing would be doubled.
Other Deman nds Of Union.
In addition to the SO an hour de-
mand, fringe issues such as a de-
mand for four additional paid holi-
days, double pay for all overtime
and other items, would bring the
total cost of the demands to s19S
per hour above present pay, or an
increase Of 1876 per cent, the state
ment said. ...... ...
Washington employers believe
the employers statement continued,
that the union demand is based on a
desire to get wages so high that the
members will be protected against
any or all effects of imitation.
The employers will not accede to the
union demand but are expected to
counter with the proposal for fair
wage increase and the formula to
compensate for lnf1ationary cost of
living raises"
GAA pointed out that, because
Washington is the greatest printer
of labor publications in the Nation.
any wage increases in the printing
industry here will fall heavily upon

BY the As.ociofed Press


PITTSBURGH, Sept. 81. This
industrial city faced another power
crisis today as the members of the

dered to strike at $50 am. Tuesday
The strike date, set by George M
Mueller, president of the Indepen-
dent Association of Duquesne Light
and associated companies, is stimuli

Pleas Court on permanent injunc-
ton against the strike which the
unionists have been ordered to
attend.

granted just few minutes before

Mr.. Mueller said the strike COM

j. ). Names Mediator
After Western Union
ParIeys Break Down

The United States Cancellation
Service yesterday appointed a
special mediator to try to compose a
wage dispute between the Western
Union Telegraph Co. and $4,000
workers about to file strike notice.
One thousand of the workers,
mostly telegraph operators, are
members of Local "a, Commercial
Telegraphers Union (AFLp in
Washington. On September 9 this
group voted almost unanimously
to strike if their demands went
unheeded.
Selection of the mediator, Noel
Fox, a Muskegon (MichD attorney,
followed breakdown this week
end between the AFL National Co.
ordinating Board and the telegraph
company. The co-ordinating board
represents the Commercial Tele-
graphers as we'll as two Southern
unions, the Telegraph Workers
Federal Union and the Telegraph
Employees Union.
A fact-f1nding board has recon-
mended a 1872 cents an hour in
crease for all workers but messen-
gers, who would receive a lO-cent
boost. A Labor Department spokes-
man said both sides apparently
were willing to accept the findings
but could not agree on whether the
increase should be subject to ap-
proval by the Wage Sterilization
Board.
With all locals having voted strike
approval, j. A. Payne of the CO.
ordinating board, said the noticed
intention to strike would be filed
within few days.
The telegraph company has ad-
vised Secretary of Labor Schwel-
lenbach that the unions would not
accept two things: a proposal for
Wage Sterilization Board approval
OF the increases recommended by
the fact finding board and a pro-
vision that the contract not be re-
opened until January /, 1948. Hour
ly rates for telegraphers now range
between 55 cents and SO cents an
hour.
