pected to return to their Jobs

there will be no lockouts or
strikes during the life # this
agreement" The contract is Tor
one year and is to be ratified by
May 27 Full details will not be
made public until after the
union votes on the contract.
One of the sharp issues as the
strike progressed was whether
some 100 persons the company
fired on charges of misconduct
during the walkout would be re-
instated.
Subject to Arbitration
Southern Bell said that under
the agreement they would not
be automatically returned to their
jobs, but the discharges are sub
ject to final and binding arbi-
tration."
THE union," said a Bell state
ment, will notify the company
whether it desires to arbitrate
the discharge Of a particular in
dividual."
The agreement was reached
through a compromise. The COM
pany had maintained that a TO-
strike clause. not included N the
previous contract. was one OF the
major obstacles to settlement.
The union finally agreed to
the no-strike clause. but held
out for complete arbitration, bet
ter wages and working condi-
tions.
The company statement said
the agreement provided for
broader arbitration of disputes
arising under the contract. in
Guiding disputes involving sus-
pensions of employees and dis
ciplinary action taken under the
no-Strike clause"
S1-S4 Pay Increase
The contract also included,
the company said, wage in
creases of from ST to 81 weekly
for the $4,000 nonsupervisory
employees, increasing company
costs more than 81 million an
nually.
At the time of the strike the
contract maximum wage for
operators in cities the size of
Atlanta was $57 a week and in
smaller cities and towns $43.
Craft workers such as cable
splicers earned up to $91 so
weekly under the maximum con-
tract.
Still excluded from arbitra-
tion, the company said, were
company pension and benefit
plans, leaves of absence, COM
pliance with health and safety
measures and demotions and

Affected by the telephone
strike were workers in Alabama,
