Phone Strikers Plan
To Step Up Pieketing
Without Extra Help

Striking Western Electric Co.
employees will put on much more
pressure" in picketing Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co. build
ings here tomorrow. but will not
use outside help" at this time,
union officials said last night.
Spokesman for members of the
CIO Communications Workers of
America employed here by West
ern Electric, a Bell System sub
sidiary. declared they were thor
oughly satisfied with the way
telephone operators and others
belonging to CWA divisions here
have refused to cross picket lines.
There will be no picketing to-
day and there was very little yes
terday, they reported. Pickets who
returned to the c. & P. main
downtown buildings at 725 Thir-
teenth street and 722 Twelfth
street NV. yesterday morning
were quickly withdrawn.
Union officials said they did not
want to prevent non-striking en-
ployes from working on the Ar
mistice Day holiday and thus
drawing premium pay which in
most instances amounted to dou-
BILE pay.
Normal" Service Claimed.
Company officials said the strike
by CWA equipment and installa-
tion workers here, as. well as
throughout the country, has not
interrupted normal" service in
the Washington area, even on
long-distance calls.
Harry Lentz. president of Diyi-
sion 36 of the Western Electric
employees in the District, disputed
that claim. He declared union
headquarters has heard COM
plants that the use of supervisory
and other company personnel has
resulted in delays in handling toll
calls since the strike started at
6 am. last Thursday. \
Announcing that picketing will
be resumed tomorrow morning
on a considerably bigger scale,
he did not disclose where and
when it will be staged.
He indicated that the "hit-skip"
procedure will be continued. That
system consits of having pickets
suddenly show UP at various places
at different times during the day.
Exchange offices on Columbia road
and in Anacostia were picketed
In that way last Friday.
Too Many Strangers Unwanted.
Mr.. Lentz disclosed that Divi-
sion 96 has tentatively requested
assistance from outside" to
strengthen picket lines if nee
essary but that it has no present
plan to use other than its own
members.
I'VE don't want too many
strangers in a picket line" he
explained.
Division s6 has fewer than $50
members in this area. It has
maintained a fun-time picket line
at Western Electric's sales and
installation building at I'LL North
Capitol street.
An official Of c. & p. said yes
terday that the company was
confident it could operate effec-
lively here even if q larger num-
Der of its facilities are picketed
tomorrow.
I'VE were able to do a 100
per cent operating job even when
two OF our branch buildings were
picketed. he reported. Even
then. IS per cent of the operators
and so per cent of the mainten-
ance employees reported for work. III
Mr.. Lentz as well as officials of
CWA Divisions so and SO which
include telephone operators, main
tenance and commercial employees,
declared that the vast majority
OF those non-striking employees re-
fused to cross picket lines where
ever set up last week.

Scandinavian American:
We have today before the AM
erican people a proposal to sane
ton a world government. Some
ton state have already voted in
its favor. The idea of a world
government means dictatorship of
the worst kind and Russia will be
the boss. 1t is already controlling
or has agreements with the Asiat-
ic world, which has more than
half the worlds population. They
are awakening today and the
Western world and the Gentle
world according to the Bible pro-
phesy has soon seen it's fulfillment
According to Daniel, Chapter 2,
he says the dream is certain and
the Interpretation is sure. We see
the prophesy being fulfilled every
day before our very eyes, but
very few people pay any attention
to what is happening, but are hav-
ing what they call a good time,
drinking and gambling and for
getting to develop the mental,
spiritual, physical and social quail
tiles of their lives. Americas peo-
pie must awaken to the opportun-
ity of helping people to keep their
freedom or be sold down the road
to communism, which is no good.

Editor Scandinavian American:
l thought about writing to your
paper before, but now that this
here Ingrid Bergman affair has
come up feel l should speak my
mind on her, because she isn't
what we thought she was. l think
you have been taking her side too
much but of course no one should
be kept from seeing her films and
l didn't mind seeing Stromboli, but
of course she didn't really fit into
her part.
1 have heard from your con-
tact men that you have several
thousand subscribers and of course
you must reach quite lot of Scan
dinavians. Your paper is one way
of making all Scandinavians feel
as one people the Lucia con-
test is another one and l think the
Ballard festival is a good thing if
only they would leave out the
rough, broken Scandinavian ac-
cent, which is spelling it. A lot
of Scandinavians agree with me
on this. 1t took most of us Scan
dinavians years to overcome brok-
en- English and we don't like to be
reminded of our early trials at
public places in this day and age.
