Why don't they send working men

Soft Answer
"There are different ways OF
working, friend" the minister
said. "You wouldn't expect a doc.
tor hands to be all calloused
would you? I doubt if Jesus hands
were hard for many months after
he gave up carpentry for the min

offer is satisfactory.
Demand Cut
Although the federation original
ly had asked for a $12 a week in
crease for some 34,0 600 members,
it subsequently, cut that demand
in half.
Youngdahl said at st. Paul,
Mimi, that the cash offer made for
telephone workers in Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Iowa and
Nebraska should be a strong factor
in bringing about settlement OF the
nationwide strike.
Beirne's forecast that the end
of the strike may be in sight came
at a mass meeting Of Washington
strikers.
Beirne said his audience might
expect a major break in the not
too distant FUTURE" adding that he
expects it to come in a wage Of
fer from the long distance depart
ment of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company.
That, the strike chief said, prob
ably will set a pattern for the in
dustry in general.
Beirne admonished the strikers,
however, to keep the walkout in
full force tomorrow. He told them
the company will gauge their
strength by the effectiveness OF
The strike at that time.
"Once we get together on money
the other issue should be easy
Beirne said. The end may be in
sight"
Stab In Back
He characterized as "a stab in
the back" the action Of Maryland
Telephone workers in Withdrawing
from the NFTW and settling with
the Chesapeake and Potomac

Shortly after Beirne spoke at the
mass meeting, a negotiating ses-
sion between management and
workers of the Southwestern Bell
company, biggest A. T.
& T. operating subsidiary, broke up
without a wage offer.
