Isl, G. I. o. Mine, Mill g. Smelter
Workers Union, at which the menu
bership voted to carry on no nego-
tiations with the management UNI
less an international representative

of James Galullo, unit chairman.
He claims that a meeting must be
called by the chairman Of the shop
committee.
The union committee and the
management last week reached an
agreement on contract issues but
representatives of the international
did not take part in the parley.
Galullo said the agreement will be
submitted to the membership for a
vote at a meeting which the COM

The unit chairman said the agree
ment is an excellent one from the
unions point of view. He expressed
doubt that any agreement in the
area equals the provisions on pay,
hours, and seniority contained in
the U. s. Time proposal.
