1914 cents an hour, subject to APP
proval by the Wage Sterilization
Board. The Democrat learned to-

Nevertheless, as members Of the

casting ballots in q strike vote to-
day, leaders urged them TO vote in

also asserted that the company de-
clined TO add the offered increase
to the hiring rate. refused to grant
pro-rated vacations for employees Of
