Walk Off Jobs;

And Over Nation

The CLIO Communications Work.
ers of America timed the demon.
lstration for l pm. mass meetings
in many major cities. including
Washington.
High level policy apparently
called for throwing up picket lines
while meetings were in progress
in hope of gaining support from
I250,000 telephone workers in the
District and 43 States.
Union officials have told men,
berS they should not cross picket
lines manned by 10000 Western
Electric workers striking nation
ally for the third day.
Normal Dial Service Seen.
Chesapeake e. Potomac Tele-
phone Co. officials called the meet
ings work stoppages." They said
local dial service would continue
at 100 per cent efficiency.
The company also predicted
near normal long distance service
would be maintained by super
visory employees and by union op-
orators they hoped would cross
the picket lines.
Mass meetings expected to last
three or four hours were called
at Turner's Arena and at the
Flower Theater, 8725 Flower ave-
nue., Silver Spring, Md.
AS Operators, commercial, plant
and accounting employees began
leaving their jobs shortly after
noon, striking w. E. workers an
nounced a fight to the finish"
Seizure in Virginia Possible.
At noon 100 installers began
synchronized picketing of Is tele-
phone Offices in Washington,
Hyattsville, Arlington, Alexandria,
Silver Spring, Bethesda, Falls
Church, and Brookland.
There was the possibility that
the Virginia picketing. general
throughout the State, would
cause Gov. Battle to seize the COM
|panies under utility anti-strike
Authority. He already has signed
Ia bill making such seizure imme-
Idiately possible.
In addition to telephone Offices,
WE strikers also picketed the COM
|pany's distributing plant and
warehouse at I'LL North Capitol
street.
Full effect Of the work stoppage
will not be determined before the
membership meetings adjourn and
evening shifts report for work.
Newsmen Invited to Meetings.
Glenn Watts, CWA regional di-
rector, said the telephone workers
were called out to hear details of
the strike situation.
He attended both the Washing
ton and Silver Spring meetings,
along with local officers. CWA
officials invited newsmen and pho
tographers to attend the meetings.
c. & P. officials said approx
mately 5000 persons were, en-
ployed as hourly workers here,
about half of them operators.
The union claims about 5000 OPP
orators and $500 plant, account
ing and commercial members in
the Washington area.
Nationally the strategy was ex-
pected to pull telephone workers
off the job in every State except
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island and Montana,
where w. E. has no installations.
Except in nearby Maryland,
operators in that State belong to
an independent union. Whether
they would support the strike was
problematical.

By Joseph Young

A Navy order requiring civilian

In the face of protests from en-

cipline or to require an apology

led the fight to Defense Secretary
