of the National Federation of
Telephone Workers, represent
ing 250,0O0 members, voted four

Seventeen of the Federation s
so affiliates are in a position to
conduct a legal strike. THE
other 33 unions will respect
picket lines established by the
striking unions" said Joseph A,
Beirne, Federation president.
Directly involved in the strike
will be 100000 workers.
Promising "there will not be
any dilly-dallying around on the
strike question:" Beirne predict
ed continued negotiations on the
federation's $2-a-day wage in
crease and other demands. He
asserted that 1--WE will not accept
wage offers heretofore made.
In addition to the $2-a-day
hike the unions also seek a Csc
minimum and a return to the
40-hour week. The only counter
offer of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co., has
been raise of SIS weekly to
operators and $3-6 for other
