Traffic Nearly Normal.
"At the start OF the strike" Mr..
Morrison said, "the company an
nounced it would challenge all long
distance calls and accept only those
of an emergency nature. Co-opera-
ton of the public in not making
unnecessary calls and the prof1ci-
ency of the employees at the switch
boards kept traffic moving at nearly
normal flow and the company was
able to put through many types OF
calls not considered urgent.
There were certain periods each
day when the volume of calls might
reach point where screening was
necessary but, generally speaking
the question of whether call is an
emergency is left to the judgment
of the caller"
Mr.. Morrison said $50 "bargained-
for employees have returned to the
traffic, plant, commercial and ac-
counting departments. He did not
indicate how many Of these belong
to the union.
Some Employees Return.
"The number Of employees re-
turning to work has expanded the

Tuck Charges Bad Faith
BY Telephone Union

RICHMOND. Va, April II iP).
Gov. Tuck today accused officials of
the Virginia Federation of Tele-
phone Workers of bad faith in con-
tract negotiations which broke down
Friday and limited at possible seizure
by the State of telephone facilities
in Virginia in the event Of strike
on May II.
In letter to A. v. Atkinson,
chairman of the Virginia F.T.W.
the Governor said sit is my firm in
Ttention that, come what may, tele-
phone service will be substantially
maintained In the Commonwealth. !
The letter to Mr.. Atkinson was in
response to letter from the union
mead serving notice Of the intention
of the workers to strike May II.
Mr.. Atkinson's letter was written
in conformity with the provisions OF
the law which requires five weeks
notice Of an intention to strike.
Tuck's Letter Quoted.
Gov. Tuck, in his letter, declared
'On the basis of the record as out
lined it is now obvious to
me that the representatives of the
Virginia Federation Of Telephone
Workers from the very beginning OF
negotiations with the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. of Virginia
were either unable or unwilling, or
both, to conclude a contract for the
Virginia union and that such nego-
tiations as have been held were
designed solely to comply with the
letter of the State Public Utility
Labor Relations Act in order to pro-
ceed as quickly as possible to enter
upon legal strike. ,5,.s
1T is my opinion that the union,
though complying with the letter OF
the law, has violated the spirit of
this act, which is designed not only
to protect the public from the efforts
of a crippling strike in an essential
utility but to afford q means where
by the State government might exer-
else its good Offices In bringing shout
a fair settlement OF q labor dispute
satisfactory to all concerned.
I'm conclusion, I wish to state
that it is my opnson that you. as
leader Of the Virginia union, have
shown far greater concern for the
desires and whims of the leader Of
the National Federation of Tele-
phone Workers than for the well
fare of the Virginia members of your
union. 1t is apparent that you and
the members of your bargaining
committee have at no time intended
to settle the Virginia dispute. irre-
spective of the company's attitude,
independently OF the national union

|neW Jersey Group
plans General Strike
To Protest State Ban
~ is. A,,oeicied Press

\. NEWARK, N. j., April II. Pre-
|Iiminary plans for general organ
lied labor work stoppage In New
Jersey next Friday to protest the
states new antistrike law and In
sympathy with striking telephone
workers were announced today by
William Snyder, corresponding sec
.retary of the newly formed Labors
Joint Legislative Committee.
Mr.. Snyder said the proposed
stoppage would be in protest against
the punishment providing amend
nents to the State law banning
strikes in public utilities under
which three women telephone union
leaders were arrested yesterday. He
said meeting weuld be held In
Trenton Monday to make final de-
cisions and plans for the stoppage
The committee was organized to-
day when group of union repre-
sentatiyes met as individuals and
elected Republican State Assembly
man Lewis M. Hermann, public
relations director of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor tAFL), as chair
man.
Committees Appointed.
Committees were appointed to
work through official labor channels
to arrange the work stoppage, Mr..
Snyder said.
Meanwhile, the $4,000 striking
switchboard operators continued to
maintain picket lines throughout
the State at plants sand Offices OF
the New Jersey Bell Telephone Co
in defiance Of the antistrike law.
Walter T. Margetts, jr., chairman
of the State Mediation Board, an
nounced that he would fly to Wash
ington tomorrow for conference
with Joseph A. Beirne, president
of the National Federation of Tele-
phone Workers, because "the State
situation must be resolved in WASH
ington before it is resolved in New
Jersey"
Governor Backs Plan.
Mr.. Margetts said Gov. Alfred E.
Driscoll was most anxious" to set
tie the dispute between the tele-
phone company and its workers and
had authorized me to take any
steps offering any possibility" OF an
agreement.
Henry Mayer, counsel for the
New Jersey telephone unions, said
he had advised the four unions that
"any direction to return to work
would nullify the action about to
be instituted in Federal courts to
test the constitutionality' of the
newly amended public utility anti
strike law. which compels arbitra-
ton and threatens fines and or jail
sentences for continuance of the
strike,

whether Government seizure will be
asked.
Mr.. Beirne and other union
leaders said before the strike that
Government seizure would be
stretching the law"
On the company side, George s.
Dring, assistant vice president OF
the A. T. g. T. long lines division
left Washington late yesterday for
New York. His Office quoted him
as saying he believed he had
done everything he could possibly
do until hearing further from the
union"
With the deadlock apparently
tighter than at any time since the
strike started q week ago tomor-
row, the Chesapeake g. Potomac
Telephone Co. in Washington and
1.-The local unions involved In the
strike declared they were ready to
hold their stands for an indefinite
period.
Both sides were praising the
weather but for different reasons.
Pleasant weather has eased the task
Of the approximately 500 pickets as
signed the company's IS buildings
here.
1t also has helped the approx
mately $50 supervisory, managerial
and other employees on duty for the
company. A severe storm would
cause damage that probably could
not be repaired by the small avail
able maintenance force, company
representative said.
Several hundred of the approx
mately 1000 employees on strike in
Washington received checks from
the company yesterday for the week
of work before the walkout. BY
the end of this week all the others
will receive pay due them, a COM
pany official announced.
Most of the employees who made
out the checks every week in the
accounting department are on
strike he explained. 80 we have
had to work out a system of paying
one department after another, but
we are sending out letters to all
employees notifying them that they
will be paid as soon as possible"
First checks were delivered yes
terday to employees of the CONNER
cial and accounting departments.
Union officials meanwhile are
studying the problem of payless
