Holiday Break Eases
Nation S Phone Strike;
Union TO Tighten Up
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Com-
pany officials reported telephone
service virtually back to normal
today, but union sources indicated
Nationwide strike of $4,000
telephone equipment workers
would be pressed with new in
tenSity next week.
One company official said the
combination of Saturday and the
Armistice Day holiday helped in
the improvement of service.
There were fewer telephone calls
than on a normal weekday. and
in some areas pickets were with
drawn so workers could draw ex-
ira holiday pay. Operators, not
on strike but reluctant to cross
picket lines, thus were able to go
to work.
Morris Iushewitz, New York CIO
secretary treasurer. said 80 CIO
unions had been asked to provide
pickets in the metropolitan area
next week if settlement of the
wage and contract dispute be-
tween the CIO Communications
Workers of America and the
Western Electric Co. is not set
tied by then.
Similar Actions Planned.
He said similar action probably
would be taken in other cities.
A new try for a management
union agreement is scheduled for
tomorrow afternoon by Federal
mediators. They planned sepa-
rate conference meanwhile with
both sides.
The striking equipment workers
now are understood to be asking
a 15-cent-an-hour wage increase
from the Western Electric Co.. a
subsidiary of American Telephone
and Telegraph Co.. and to have
rejected 1lA-cent-an-hour Of
fer. Present wages range from
$1.55 to $1.62 an hour. The union
also wants a one-year agreement
while the company wants a l6-
month contract.
Strikers contended today they
were being confronted with "lock-
out" tactics. CWA headquarters
said rs women telephone opera
tors were locked out when they
reported for work at Peoria, ILL.,,
and 125 long distance operators at
Eugene, Greg, likewise were told
that no work was available.
The companies involved denied
the charges. Illinois Bell, term
ing the charges false and ridicu-
lous," said some operators in
Peoria had reported for work on
the wrong shifts.
IF more operators appear for
work than are required. OBJ
viously some will not be needed
at the switchboard" the company
said. It added, however, that work
IS not denied ito any one where
work is available"
A Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph spokesman denied the CWA
headquarters report. He said only
% operators were involved at Eu-
gene and that Of these. four were
put to work and the others told
to report for the next regular
shift.
Most operators have not been
on strike but a number have re-
fused to cross picket lines. The
union said the picket line in Eu-
gene was withdrawn last night.
10000 in Western Electric.
The strike started Thursday,
largely among telephone equip
ment workers. in 43 States.
About 10000 of the strikers are
by the Western Electric
Co. The others were Michigan
Telephone workers in a separate
