Immediately to their home cities
to INTENSITY the strike and take
part personally in local bargaining.
The committee, composed Of rep
resentatives of 40 telephone unions
affiliated with the NFTW, will hold

The announcement represented a
sudden reversal from optimism
over a quick settlement indicated
earlier in the evening by govern

said at a dinner-time break in ne

Beirne said local unions always
have the right to enter into agree

system but that they still are ex-

agreements to the national fedora
ton for counsel and guidance.
Beirne told reporters that the pol.

"It concluded that the bargain
ing program as well as the strike
must be intensified.
Therefore the committee ad-

be no further meetings of the poll

He declared the committees de-

The union chief recalled that
some Bell System companies have

have not. He said the variations in
these offers can be attributed to

NEW COMMITTEE
need
Group To Study Major
rehabilitation OF
Housing Situation

The creation of a new commit
tee, to be known as the Capita.
improvements committee, with
Ronald Stewart as chairman, was
announced last night by H. A.
Marks, president of the Com
munity Chest.
The new group will study major
rehabilitation needs of the build
ings housing the Twelve Red Feath'
er services, and report their
recommendations to the budget
committee, Marks said.
Stewart, who will head the I'm.
provements committee IS past
president of the Community Chest,
and is familiar with this assign
ment as he acted as board mem
Der of the Housing authority for
many years.
Under the present agreement be-
tween the chest and its member
agencies, the agencies themselves
are responsible for raising capital
funds through separate campaigns.
When necessary repairs are
neglected over a period of years.
the result is a campaign OF major
proportions as in the case OF the
YMCA which raised 5000 in 1925
and IS years later needed an ad-
ditional $50, 900 for improvements.
n ;s honed Marks said. that
through a long range program OF
repairs and r%enovations for u
agency buildings, major capital
fund campaigns as held in the
past by the YMCA and other agen-
cies, may be eliminated.
According to Marks, the new
committee now has a fund of more
than SOL, 600 with which to start
operations. The funds r now IN
trust with the Community We'll
fare Foundation.
