a couple of pennies in wages"
Early in the negotiations the
company had offered increases
ranging from 81 to $3.50 weekly.
The union had said it would not
accept less than a national pat
tern" averaging 712 cents hourly.

At Indianapolis compan
spokesmen said "mobs" broke
windows at Elwood and Alex
andria and forced their way into
the Elwood exchange. The dis
turbances came after spokes-
man for the strikers had accused
the American Telephone and
Telegraph Co. of fomenting tel
ephone strife in Indiana.
Damage Is Reported.
An Indiana Bell spokesman at
ElWood said the picket line
there suddenly increased to so
or IS pickets at the time of an
expected shift change. How
ever. the change had been made
early, and no workers tried to
enter or leave the exchange.
The company spokesman said
the crowd broke windows,
smashed in side door. pulled a
power switch and dumped gar
bage in the room. Workers were
on the second floor and were not
molested, and an emergency
power connection kept service
going with only a brief interrupt
ton.
The spokesman said city,
county and State police were
called but none appeared.
Cable Reported Cut.
A cable was reported severed
north of Anderson, cutting direct
communications between Elwood
and the county seat.
An Alexandria spokesman for
Indiana Bell told a similar story,
except that there was no
break-in.
The Alexandria spokesman
said a call for police brought
Sheriff Joe Brogdon and five
deputies, four or five State
patrolmen and three city officers
to the scene.
