AFL Atomic Workers
Vote on Offer Today
BY the Associated Press

OAK RIDGE, Tenn, Aug. IS.
About $500 AFL production
workers at two atomic plants
here vote today on whether to
accept a previously rejected g.
cent hourly wage increase-and
maybe pull the rug from under
a rival CLIO union holding out
for more.
AFL leaders recommended
that the workers accept, appar-
emily reviewing the earlier stand
in the light of a Taft Hartley
injunction slapped on the CLIO
last week when it called strikes
over the same issue at other
atomic plants here and at Padu-
cab, KY.
A source close to the situation
says favorable vote by the AFL
workers-members of the Atomic
Trades and Labor Council
could be expected to have a
marked effect on the $500 CLIO
Gas, Coke and Chemical Work
erS.
Carbide and Carbon Chemicals
Co.. which operates all four
plants for the Atomic Energy
Commission, has always granted
identical increases to both the
CIO and AFL. Thus, says the
observer, If the AFL accepts the
6 cents, 1.-The CLIO will have a
lot OF arguments pulled right out
from under them"
