New Phone Pay Talks
To Begin Here Soon,
Using Federal Pattern

Bargaining on new wage con-
tract between the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. and the
Washington Telephone Traffic Unior
will get under way soon, with the
new Government-formulated indus
try pattern" providing a working
basis.
Mrs. Mary Cannon, WITH presi-
dent, said negotiations may not be
reopened before early next week
The current contract expires March
81.
1t will be the first bargaining eff
fort since the threatened national
telephone strike was averted yester-
day and negotiators may sit down
on vastly more aniable terms. The
last meeting broke up hopelessly
deadlocked, with the union claiming
that the companys offer was more
restrictive" than ever
Pattern Used in 16 Disputes.
At that time the union still was
demanding a fiat $40 weekly raise
for its 5000 operators and the COM
pany would not go beyond S.. Now
the negotiators will use the formula
worked out by the Cancellation
Service for the American Telephone
& Telegraph Co. and Federation of
Long Lines Telephone Workers as
a pattern for settling 16 other in
dustry disputes.
AS the pattern applies to the
WITH, bargaining will deal largely
with how the SIS minimum and ST
maximum weekly increases estab-
lished for operators will be spread
among the workers who now start at
S24 week and earn $37 after eight
years.
The new starting rate will be $29
and senior operators will draw S44
But how the increases will be grad
uated must still be worked out.
Grievances over working condi-
tions, which brought about an
eight-day operators strike in Janu-
ary, will not figure in the bargain
ing, Mrs. Cannon said.
Improvements Said Effected.
These matters are being nicely
ironed out by a company union
committee appointed at the end of
the strike to recommend working
condition improvements, the union
leader added. She said many i'm
provements had been effected in
training courses and supervisor
observer tactics since the strike.
The committee will function until
March 81, 1947, and there is reason
to believe most of the grievances
will be settled by then, Mrs Gan
non said.
There is a possibility that the
telephone company and the District
Federation of Telephone Workers
will review terms of contract
signed January in view of the new
industry-wide pattern
Helery Robinson, president of the
2,400 maintenance and commercial
workers, said such discussions were
quite likely by mutual agreement"
although he had not approached the
company as yet.
Mr.. Robinson said workers in
lower brackets would benefit more

under terms of the new agreement
For instance, clerical workers ir
the $22-$39 bracket who received
raises by the January l contract
apparently would be elevated from
IS to 81 if the pattern" were fol.
lowed. Mr.. Robinson said worker.
in the s40-S53 category might be
boosted 50 or SO a week, and those
in the $54-$61 class might also
benefit.
Union leaders generally were
heralding terms of the last-minute
strike settlement as the greatest
victory in the history of the youth
full National Federation of Tele-
phone Workers For the first time
they saw a precedent for industry
wide bargaining for the 25O,OOO
workers.
Picketing Continues.
Although the Long Lines agree
ment also was designed to settle
the two-month-old strike of 1900
Western Electric employees in the
New York area, picketing continued
today because of three disputed
points.
A meeting was arranged TODAY tn

settle the points Of difference, which
included application Of the 1S.2 per
cent wage increase, maintenance Of
membership and the company Sc
curity clause.
With the It's cents average in
crease provided by the Long Lines
agreement, plus -tenths Of a
cent raise through fringe benefits,
the union claimed a total increase
of 1873 cents.
BY one clause of the agreement,
the company was relieved of dis
charging employees at the unions re-
quest for any reason except non-
payment of dues

Democratic Candidates 

Union leaders attending a meet ing of the Connecticut C.IO. Politi- cal Action Committee at the Hotel Taft, New Haven, Sunday afternoon will receive a box score" on the stand taken by Democratic and Re- publican legislators during the 1945 session of the General Assembly. The report shows that on 10 major pieces of legislation supported by the CI.O., the Democrats had an 30 percent record in favor as against a 30 percent record for the COP.
 The "box score" vii undoubtedly have an important effect in deter mining endorsements to be given by the C4I.O.-P.A.C.
 The measures on which the legis- lators were judged included the Fair Employment Practices Bill, minimum wage standards, ban on child labor in the tobacco fields, a state health insurance system, inn provement in Workmen's compensa- tion, improvement in unemployment compensation, equal pay for equal work, State Labor Relations Act,

An eight-year-old radio trademark went out the window last week when the comedy team of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello agreed to eliminate from the scripts of the future the expression which Costello had parlayed into national by word, "Pm Bad Boy."
