Vepco, Union Reach
Accord on Contract;
Details Withheld
By the Assoeiofed Press

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. 15.-Agree-
ment has been reached in "full set
tlenent of all issues" between the
Virginia Electric & Power Co. and
eight International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers unions represent
ing some 1850 rank and file workers,
D. Yates Haefner, conciliation COM
missioner, announced yesterday.
Details of the agreement on terms
of contract to replace one which
expires March 81 were not released,
at the request of the union, which
expressed the wish to notify its
members itself rather than have it
done through the press.
The union and Vepco came to a
verbal accord shortly after pm.
A company spokesman said the writ
ten contract probably will be signed
next week and the union said it will
be signed as quickly as it can be
prepared and checked.
Foremen Meet Today.
Settlement came on the fifth day
of negotiations in second confer
ence" under the new State Public
Utilities Labor Relations Act and
apparently removes the possibility
of any strike of rank and file workers
this spring.
Negotiations between Vepco and
the elect.ica2 workers are not fin
ished for the year, however, as COM
pany and union representatives of
some 180 foremen are to meet today
to resume discussions on new con-
tract. This also will be Second
conference" under the new act.
The early settlement was in sharp
contrast to last years negotiations
when a threatened strike of rank
and file workers hung over the State
until agreement to arbitrate was
reached on March 30. 1t was that
threat which gave impetus to Gov.
Tuck's request of the General Assem-
bly, to enact legislation to prevent
interruption Of operation of essen
tial public utilities due to labor dis
putes.
Union Praises Tuck.
Mr.. Haefner expressed his sincere
appreciation" for the cooperation
afforded by both parties, and a COM
pany spokesman said Vepco appreci-
ated the "co-operative spirit dis
played by the Employees Negotiating
Committee and the able assistance"
of Mr.. Haefner.
A spokesman for the unions Sys-
tenn Council said:
I'VE wish to thank Gov. William
M. Tuck for his contribution made
by his providing himself with a
schedule that prevented his personal
participation in the Second confer
ence.' We trust that the example
set by Gov. Tuck will be followed
by other politicians in the country
on both State and national levels.
1t is our sincere belief that when
the parties are desirous of reaching
an agreement, such agreement will
be reached without the. assistance of
politicians or legislation passed by
politicians"

the proposal, but attorneys for the

LAW MAKING BY HOUSE,
SENATE IS DESCRIBED

With the state Legislature coming
to the end of another session, j. w.
Corwin, a former member of the
senate for several terms, spoke be-
fore the Rotary club Tuesday and
described the mechanics of law-mak-
ing by the Montana assembly. o. NJ
Void, who introduced him. said it
was expected that later in the month
a Yellowstone county member of the
legislature would address the club
on the accomplishments of the 1947
session, and that Corwin with his
experience as a senator would pro-
vide the Rotarians with a working
knowledge of legislative procedure.
Corwin opened by recommending
that Laurel be represented in future
by at least one member of the Vel
lowstone delegation, and called a list
of Laurel men he thought would
serve well.
The state constitution provides for
a legislature consisting of a senate
and a house of representatives.
Under an amendment of 1905 the
people reserved to themselves the
power to propose and enact laws,
excepting laws relating to %appropria-
lions of money or laws for submits
sion of constitutional amendments,
and also reserved the power to ap-
prove or reject enactments of the
Legislature, except laws necessary for
immediate preservation of peace,
health and safety.
The first reservation Of power is
the initiative. Eight per cent of
the voters may propose a measure
by petition, provided two-fifths of
the counties furnish eight per cent
Of their voters as signers. The
petitions must be filed with the sec
rotary of state four months before
he slection.
The second reservation, the refer
is ordered either by petition
n by the Legislative assembly itself.
The presiding officer of the sen
lte is the lieutenant governor, while
he house is governed by a speaker
elected by the representatives from
.mong themselves. The organiza-
ion of the house and senate are
bout the only place where party
ines are closely drawn. The night
'efore the opening, the two parties
aucus separately, but only the
aucus of the prevailing party is of
Importance. In the senate the chief
interest is on nomination for presi-
ent pro tenn; the majority party's
loor leader, and the committee on
which selects all other
ommittees. In the house the prin-
ipal officers r the speaker, speak
r pro tenn and the floor leader.
On opening day the senate and
ouse members take the oath of of
ice and both bodies meet in joint
ession to hear the message of the
overnor. Next in Importance is
ne naming of committees in the
enate.
At least a day before a bill is in
reduced, a member gives notice
nat he will make such introduction
