GSI Workers Prepare
To Strike Tomorrow
As Negotiations Fail

The $500 Government Services,
Inc. workers will be called out on
strike formally tomorrow unless an
11-hour agreement is reached be-
tween GSI and the CIO United
Cafeteria and Restaurant Workers
Union, 1t appeared today.
Negotiations have broken down
completely as a result of the unions
refusal to comply with GSI's de-
mand to sign non Communist atfi-
davit provisions of the Taft-Hartley
Act. Local All will meet at 2 to-
morrow at the Shiloh Baptist
Church, 1900 Ninth street NV. to
receive instructions from union
leaders.
Union demands for a 15-cent
hourly increase were countered by
GSI yesterday with a 6h -cent-an-
hour raise for all employees. At the
same time, GSI said it would re-
place any workers who strike Mon
day in any of the AZ cafeterias
which serve 10000 Government
workers every day.
"Phony as a So Bill"
Terming the GSI wage increase
"phony as a SO BILL" Oliver T. Pal
mer, business agent for the union
said only written agreement with
the union can prevent a strike. GS1
wants the non-Communist affi-
davits and financial statements
from the union before it will dis
cuss a new contract. The old one
expired New Years eve.
Both sides. meanwhile, were
marshaling their resources today
for the imminent walkout.
The union leaders were preparing
picket signs and schedules and
working out details for emergency
kitchens and other strike apparatus
GSI was busy buying up paper
plates, cups and sandwich materials
for use if-as expected-the hot
meal service for Federal employees
must be discontinued.
UnionSWill Not Be Bribed."
The union will not be bribed," its
leaders declared in statement yes
terday which widened the deadlock
Responding to the 6h cent increase
ordered by GSI, Mr.. Palmer de-
"GSIs fraudulent campaign of
lies and confusion will not succeed
just as it's attempts every year for
the past 10 years to break the union
have failed. We have reports from
the cafeterias this morning that
wherever GSI's announcement
(offering the 61a cents was made
| it was greeted with scorn by the
employees who have learned exactly
what to expect from this evil
minded management"
Mr.. Palmer said GS1's fake po-
sition was shown by successful con-
clusion yesterday of signed agree
ment between the union and the
National Food Corp, which operates
18 cafeterias in the Pehtagon.
Issues Not Raised.
Union sources pointed out that
MICS 61a cent wage increase offer
same as granted by GSI-was ac-
|cepted because management did
not raise the question about filing
non Communist afidavits and
financial statements under the
Taft Hartley Act.
The agreement, ratified by the
500 Pentagon cafeteria union mem
bers, was signed by Mr.. Palmer and
B. C. Boehm, manager of the cor
poration, several hours before ex-
piration of the old contract.
The agreement calls for the 6la-
cent an hour increase; improved sick
leave provisions granting up to II
days a year and accumulated un-
used sick leave; redefinition of part
time employment and no-strike
no-stoppage provision for the dura-
ton of the contract. The contract
also provides a check-of for unior
dues and maternity leave.

Two Programs fol
Loans on Wheat

Wheat farmers who wish to
hold their wheat may choose eth.
er or both Of two programs that
are offered by the government, A
J.. Thompson, head Of Benton
County AGA said yesterday.
First, he said, farmer may ap-
ply for loan on either farm OF
warehouse storage on which he
will rNy a service charge Of one
half to one cent a bushel, and his
loan will draw three per cent in
terest. These loans mature on
following April 80, and the farm
er may sell at any time, anywhere
or he may deliver his wheat to
the government by April 80 and
be paid the difference between his
loan and his actual delivery OF
wheat.
The second plan is where the
farmer buys a certificate at the
rate of one-half cent a bushel and
estimates how many bushels he
will have for sale. Then he may
deliver all or any part to the gov
eminent by April 80, or he may
sell privately. The purchase price
is $l.97 a bushel, plus protein bo-
nus, If any. The guarantee price
under the second plan is the same.
For further details, farmers
may contact the Benton county
AGA, 1920 Kennewick Avenue.

Asks Cab Stand
Near PolYallna

J. c. Winder, owner of the In
land Cab company, asked the city
council Tuesday night to approve
a permit for him to operate from
a cab stand near the Pollyanna
Cafe.
Revealing that he is considering
a sale of his cab company to Harry
Coons, Winder told councilrnen
that lack of telephone service and
foot traffic make it impossible for
him to operate profitably out OF
the Avenue C. cab stand for which
his permit was first issued.
Winder, who was forced to
evacuate from Avenue c during
the flood, has been permitted to
use his stand near the Pollyanna
on temporary basis.
Declining to grant the request
ed permit at its Tuesday meeting

the ordinance committee for fur

Insurance Rates
Drop in Richland

Richland property owners will
benefit by lower fire insurance
rates in the near future, according
to William A. Sullivan, state in
surance commissioner and fire
marshal afer completing a con-
ference with Acc officials last
week.
A recent survey Of the village
by state engineers will result in a
lowering of rates and probably l.,
Richland becoming Class 4 city
or better. For years Richland has
been unclassified and rates have
been high because fire underwent
ers had no classification on which
to base lower rates, he said.
Sullivan gave tribute to Rich
lands fine fire system and said
that it was one of the most out
standing departments in the state.
He also said that Richards water
system, always with ample pres
sure, would help lower the rates.
