Bridgeport Brass Union Iqnores PIeo
 PIont's Appeal
 For Postponine
 Strike Rejected

Local S20, c. I. o. International Union of Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers, has rejected an appeal by the Bridgeport Brass Company to postpone a strike scheduled Thurs day morning. Answering a tele- graphed plea by Herman W. Stein- kraus, company president, to delay the strike at least week, Interna- tional Representative Alex Cashin wired: We observe our agreements and expect you to observe your agreement of February T. Strike action will not be deferred unless eight and one-half cents balance is granted before Thursday"
 5,2OO Affected
 Strike action at Bridgeport Brass would affect about 5,2O0 employees. A strike scheduled for five weeks ago was averted when the company granted an immediate increase Of 10 cents an hour, and agreed to grant a further increase which could be justified under the steel settlement. It is the further increase which is now at issue.
 Mir. Steinkraus, now in Florida, claims that OPA delays in the com- pany's request for price relief have made 1t impossible for the manage ment to grant the new wage boost.
 Members of Local 32O voted un- animouSly Sunday to take strike action if the additional raise were not immediately forthcoming. Workers expressed resentment at postponement of bargaining meet ing scheduled to have been held last Friday.
