Federal Cafeferias
Reject Pay Demand,
Offer Arbitration

Government Services, Inc, op-
orators of So cafeterfas in Federal
buildings here, today fatty refused
union demands for 20-cents-an-
hour wage increase for its 5000 en-
ployes, but offered to submit the
wage dispute to arbitration.
Meeting with officials of the
United Cafeteria and Restaurant
Workers, Local All, GSI proposed
that the wage question be arbitrated
by a three-man board composed of
a member of the corporation, the
union, and one to be appointed by
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach.
The company did not offer to arbi-
trate' the sick leave and welfare
funds demands of the employees who
serve meals to nearly 200, 900 Federal
workers daily. Company spokesmen
said the firm could not possibly
afford" to consider these demands.
Union officials have not indicated
whether they will agree to the wage
arbitration offer.
Strike Notice Filed.
It has filed 30-day strike notice,
effective January 1, and union lead
ers have declared they are in
sistent that all their demands
20 cents an hour wage raises. Is
day sick leave provisions and an
employees welfare fund-be consid-
cred at the same time.
Previously they rejected a COM
pany proposal to negotiate only on
the wage demands.
In dts offer to arbitrate today
Government Services made 1t plain
that any wage increase granted its
employees would result in higher
prices for its customers.
The nonprofit corporation granted
its employees wage raise last
January and it attributes its re-
ported $500, 900 operating losses dur
ing the past nine months partly to
this factor. A company spokesman
said that further wage raises will
most certainly force us to raise our
prices again. We don't like to do it,
,ut that would be our only alter
native.
Pay Called Inadequate.
Union leaders assert that the COM
pany can well afford wage raise
without increasing its prices. They
contend also that the average take
home pay of cafeteria workers is
$40 weekly and that the current rise
in the cost Of living makes their
earnings "ridiculously inadequate. "
Meanwhile union officials and the
National Food Corp, which operates
cafeterias in the Pentagon and Ag-
riculture Department, seemed closer
to agreement today. Both sides
voiced the hope that final details
could be worked out at a meeting
scheduled for 2::30 pm. Monday.

for more information on how use of
the E. v. Brown School as a COM
bined library and recreation center
would fit into the recreation groups
CITY, wide center program.
The community sponsored pro-
posal to convert the school at Con-
necticut avenue and Mckinley
street NV. for library and recrea-
ton use was discussed at length by
the Commissioners at their board

days.
To Be Fit Into Program.
The question of fitting the E. v.
Brown School into the Recreation
Boards city-wide program was
raised near the end of yesterdays
hearing when Engineer Commits
sioner Gordon r. Young asked Miss
Sibyl Baker, acting recreation super
intendent, about the overall impli-
cations of establishing a recreation
center in the school.
The fact that the Commissioners
have asked for more information
was regarded as an indication they
plan to 60 into the project more
thoroughly than they did last June,
after an earlier hearing, when they
stated the financial condition of
the District would not permit
launching such project.
When informed of the Commits
sioners' request for more informa-
tieh, Miss Baker said it had long
been planned to have one major
center in each of the 26 recreation
areas into which the city has been
divided. Some areas now have tine
centers, she said, and E. v. Brown
School would constitute the center
for the Chevy Chase area.
Prompt Action Promised.

would act promptly on the proposal
came from Commissioner Guy Ma
son, who emphasized there would
be mo delaying tactics"

new policy to be determined here, :"
