required If the unions demand
were granted. It believes it should
be permitted to follow a COM
munity wage pattern. 1t is will
ing to extend the old contracts
with provision for reopening on
wages in 80 days when the trend
of cost-of- Living indices may be
appraised more effectively.
Arbitration
The union: The union seeks
Nation wide bargaining for Bell
System workers, rather than local
bargaining. To avoid a strike, how
ever, 1t is willing to submit the
paramount question Of wages
alone to arbitration on Nation
wide basis, provided conditions
affecting other matters at issue
are not attached.
The company: 1t is willing to
submit the issue Of basic wage rates
to local arbitration, provided an
agreement is reached on other
issues and no strike, other work
stoppage or interference with
service takes place, either during
arbitration or after the arbitra-
ton award. 1t insists on the prin-
ciple of local bargaining, arguing
any set of company or union rep
resentatives could not command
adequate knowledge Of conditions
in all Bell System localities.
Union Shop
The unions: This demand is con-
sidered necessary to insure full CO.
operation of all telephone COM
pany employees with each other In
order that they, as q group, will be
able to maintain a balance OF
power within the. Bell System.
Only through this means can each
member feel assured that his in
dividual economic interests and
the interests of the employe group
ill be protected fully.
The company: It is not willing to
impose on Its employees an obli-
CATION to join or refrain from
joining any organization. Such
a decision should be the free
choice of each individual. The
company does not believe it In
the best interests Of the employees.
the public or itself to force en-
ployes to conform to union re-
quirements in order to keep their
jobs.
Area Differentiais-
The unions: Removal , of such
differentials is asked to bring wage
scales here up to the higest paid
in the Bell system for comparable
work-the New York scale in the
case of the DFTH; the Detroit
scale in the case of the WITH.
The differentials are 81 and So
weekly, respectively. They are not
warranted, since job functions, job
titles and employe relationships
are identical.
The company: Being accountable
to a local regulatory agency, the
District Public Utilities Commis-
sion, on rates for local traffic,
representing rs per cent of calls
handled, 1t does not believe it
should be bound by wage patterns
elsewhere. Removal of the differ
entails would place this utility in
the position of setting a new wage
pattern here.
Wage Progression.
The unions: Compression of the
longest wage progression schedule

Virginia to Escape Walkout.
The walkout, If it comes, is
scheduled at 6 am. in each of the
time zones. The only areas des-
tined to escape local walkouts are
the New England States, Northern
California, Montana, Virginia, New
Jersey and Indiana. In the latter
three States, commonwealth laws
prevent q strike at this time.
In States where the 40 NFTW
affiliated unions are located and
where 10000 long Lines employees
work, long-distance service will be
cut to a bare emergency minimum
An average of 100000 telephone
conversations is conducted daily on
some 32,OOO,000 phones in the Ma
ton, and about 100000 of these
calls are toll and long distance.
In the Washington area that
would be affected by strike are
100000 telephones, only about 5000
of which are not dial operated.
Although some union leaders say
a speck of dust is enough to upset
the delicate dial mechanism, a
Chesapeake & Potomac Co. spokes-
man said the dial system might
operate effectively for six months
with only management attention.
Three Manually Operated.
Only In three exchanges, Ludlow
in the District, and Capitol Heights
and Spruce-Locust in Maryland, are
manually operated telephones en-
ployed exclusively. The G. & P. said
all switchboards usually operated by
about $50 girls, would be manned
by management personnel and that
normal service was expected in these
exchanges.
But the $4,000 to 10000 long dis
tance telephone calls in Washington
daily will be whitfield to the few
supervisory employees can handle on

NMU Vote Declare,
Stack Was Guilty Of
Unbecoming Conduel ]
By IL. A.seeio,sd Press

NEW YORK, April 5.-A member
ship meeting OF the CIO National
Maritime Union, by q vote Of o06
to 6S4, late today adjudged Union
Vice President Joseph Stack guilty
"of conduct unbecoming an officer" :"
The accusation had been leveled
against Mr.. Stack by Joseph Curran,
NMU president.
Mr.. Stack, addressing the meeting
before the ballot, declared the
charges were IAN out and out frame
up"
BY q vote the membership re-
jected q recommendation Of q Trial
Committee which had voted to .
Ia favor Of Mr.. Stack after hearing
evidence OF the alleged "unbecom-
ing conduct" The two dissenting
members prepared q minority re-
port calling for Stacks removal from
ONCE plus the assessment OF "a fair
penalty"
Ballot Was Secret.
The majority and minority reports
were read to the membership be-
fore the balloting, which was secret.
The minority report was signed
by James Drury, NMU San Fran
cisco agent, and Charles Keith, ma
tional Port Committee members,
while the majority report was
signed by Chester Young, Charles
ton agent; Philip Miller, national
Port Committee member, and Jack
Smith, Seattle agent.
Mr.. Curran, also speaking before
the vote was taken, told the MEM
bership that it was "a question of
whether the waterfront section of
the Communist Party is going to
control the union or whether you
members are going to control it"
Called "Frame-up Committee"
Mr.. Stack, asserting the actions of
the two minority committeeman ARE
not those of trial committee but
Of a frame-up committee" added:
These people whip up a hysteria
In our union by hollering Red,
Communist Clique Save the
union from the Reds"

In 4 addition Ia these issues, !
number of other matters are IN
dispute between the company
and one or the other Of the two
unions. Amang these Is WITH
demand for maternity leave with
full pay, retention of Job title
and accrual of company service
time during such leave and right
to extend leave beyond conf1ne-
ment period to maximum total
absence Of one year, the portion
after end Of confinement to be
without pay. The company con
tends this places . premium on
motherhood and gives preferen-
tial treatment to one group Of
employees.

vacations and the determining
factor when employees have th<
necessary qualificat atiors To re.
ceive promotions.
The company Weight already q
given to seniority, other factors
being equal. Particularly with
respect to promotions, it is felt
to make seniority controlling in
all instances would eliminate the
important factors OF initiative and
merit essential to the health OF
the business.
Absence for Union Duties
The unions: It is desired that the
unions be run by telephone peo-
pie rather than by professional
s. outsiders. Therefore, it is con-
sidered necessary that officers and
representatives be able to obtain
leaves OF absence for union duties
with guarantees they can have
their old jobs on return and with
credit Of time away toward serv-
ice requirements Of Bell System
benefit and pension plans.
The company: Employees on leave
for union business already are as
sured comparable jobs on return.
It is not felt employees remaining
with the company should be PEN
allied to assure those taking leave
their identical positions on re-
turn, or that employees should be
permitted to accumulate retire.
mept credit with the company
while working for a union. These
considerations demanded are not
S accorded employees taking leave
for other purposes.
Premium Time
The unions: The demand Is that
Saturday, Sunday and all holidays
be premium time days: Saturday
work to be paid for at w times
basic rate, Sunday work and holi-
day work to be paid for at twice
the regular daily rate.
The company: The old contract pro-
vision under which employees re-
ceived time-and-a-haf for work
outside of regular daily tours of
duty on Sundays and holidays and
straight time for work within such
a regular tour is considered fair
in an around -the-clock industry.
The company knows of no industry
In which Saturday is considered a
premium day.
Holidays in Vacation Periods
The unions: An extra vacation day
for holidays falling during a vaca-'
ton period is asked.
The company: It is felt the principal
of release from work on q holiday
is met by the vacation itself in
the case Of employees on vacation
when holiday occurs.
Grievance Procedure
The unions: Notification to the
unions by the company of al
grievances is sought, and arbitra-
ton as final determinant of all
grievances is sought.
The company: Notification Of all
grievance would not be practical,
since their would be no certain
test as to what constituted griev-
ance. The company is willing to
arbitrate grievances involving the
meaning or intent of the contract
but not extraneous matters the
unions might hold the constitute
grievances. 1t wants a guarantee
against wildcat work stoppages.
Discharges
The unions: Prior notification to
Union representatives of intention
to discharge or denote an employe
Is asked.
The company: Discharge and demo-
tions are held to be functions of
management. The company is
willing to discuss such matters but
cannot recognize any right in a
union to prior, notification.

BRAZIL HAS
 SPLIT WITH
 S0v. UNI0N

(Contnued from Page One) declared the break was imperative for national honor"
 In Moscow yesterday, Pravda anticipating the break, said that talk Of the severance of relations showed "reactionaries" had lost all balance"
 Repercussions
 Some diplomats were inclined to interpret Brazil's action as a turn ing point in Latin American rela- tions with Russia and Communism. They foresaw repercussions at the inter- American conference in Jan uary. scheduled to discuss the Unit ed States proposal for standardiza- tions of arms in this hemisphere
 The Foreign Office statement said the U. s. Embassy in Moscow had assumed charge of Brazil's in- terests in the Soviet Union.
 Well informed diplomatic sources here said the Yusoslav delegation probably would handle Russian al- fairs in Brazil
 Outrageous Article
 The note addressed to the Rus sian government announcing the break in relations said that Brazil had acted because of an extremely outrageous and calumnious article against President Dutra and the Brazilian armed forces which ap- peared in the Moscow Literary Ga- zette.
 The communication declared it was universally known that the So- viet press was controlled by the Russian government and that the must be held respon- sible for what appeared in the press.
 The Russian government, the note added, had refused to accept a Brazilian protest against the Ga zette article.
