Union, Phone Firms
Grope for Settlement
OF Wage Dispute

Telephone workers and compa-
nies, aided by Government con-
ciliators, began cropping today for
a basis for settling their long
standing wage and hours dispute.
They have until February "a to
come up with a proposal that will
please both the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. and the
CIO Communications Workers of
America. 1t is on that date the
union has threatened to strike
unless its demands are met.
In Washington little progress
was reported from bargaining ses-
sions between two CWA divisions
and the Chesapeake g. Potomac
Telephone Co. However. there
was a hint that Division so, rep
resenting about 2,400 operating
employees, had come up with a
plan the company is studying.
That group, and Division SO,
representing $500 plant, COM
mercial and accounting employees,
met last night at Turner's Arena
to review the entire situation.
Leaders said the membership
affirmed intentions of needing
picket lines if the Nation-wid
strike is called. Under labor law,
the divisions would not be en-
titled to strike before March 2, or
80 days after entering into bar
gaining with the company. But
about 500 Western Electric en-
Iployes, also affiliated with CWA,
are ready to go out any time sig
nal is given.
The 16-day truce in strike plans
gave Government conciliators an
opportunity to re-align their
forces. and to conduct intensive
bargaining efforts on a local level
in more than score of cities.
The union is demanding higher
wages and says it will settle for
nothing short of that. Other con-
ditions also are being asked where
ever new contracts are being ne
gotiated.
