The strikers, members of the

pealed for public support in their
fight against the worlds largest
monopoly.
They are seeking general $12
weekly raise, equalization of pay,
a union shop, improved pension
and vacation provisions, and other
contract Improvements.
MAKING it clear that they
were prepared to hold out as long
as necessary to bring the Ameri-
can Tel. & Tel. Co. and its local
affiliates to terms, the strikers
surprised many veteran labor
leaders here by the determination
and enthusiasm of the picket lines
at the various Chicago telephone
buildings.
Lively and hard-hitting strike
publicity brought the union case
to the public, emphasizing that
the telephone workers were
forced to strike as a last resort
against the refusal of the many
Bell system companies to bargain
in good faith.
Some 10000 striking workers
here were bitter at the strike
breaking role played by the lead
ers of the Chicago Telephone
Traffic Union, representing local
operators. They pointed out, how
ever, that increasing numbers of
local operators were refusing to
cross picket lines.
