went up they were left at a dis
advantage.
Yet the teamsters have con-
tracts with the chain stores
that run for three years. They
recently signed four-year
contract. None of these agree
ments contains cost-of Living
clauses.
The interest of the non -strik-
ing unions has been obvious
at all the negotiating sessions
and labor leader meetings. Top
officials of all the locals have
been constantly on hand. In
some instances, leaders of the
non-striking locals. such as the
teamsters, have held private
talks with the employers group.
Strike Vote Is a Surprise
Leaders on both sides of the
dispute were caught by surprise
when members of the meat cut
ters union voted to strike.
The vote was taken with
about half of the local men,
bership present in a crowded
union han at a meeting delayed
by last-minute negotiations.
The members had put in a full
days work on Tuesday and met
late that night.
The locals leadership, headed
by Mr.. Strong, recommended
acceptance Of an offer calling
for a 28-month contract with
pay raises amounting to ia
to 27H2 cents an hour.
The meeting almost went
out of order with demands that
the leadership be ousted. Then
the secret ballot showed 528
against acceptance and only
224 in favor.
Some company representa-
tiveS suggest privately that the
atmosphere of the meeting was
unfortunate and had it not
been held so late and under
such crowded circumstances,
the attitude of the union mem
bers present might have been
different.
Secret Ballot a Factor
There was also the suggestion,
made by chain store official,
that the new labor law, with
its requirement Tor a secret
ballot, may have been a fac
tor in the denial of the union
leaders by the rank and file.
The observer said it may have
been part Of an upsurge of
independent action.
On the same night the
Butchers Union Local 393,
whose members are employed
by the Giant food chain, took
a vote on an identical offer
and turned it down-but with
a difference. The 400 members
gave the company an extern
sion until Tuesday to come
up with a better offer before
they planned to strike.
I This denial by members of
Local SIS presented what chain
store officials termed a "frus-
trating" situation. Picket lines
went up Wednesday morning at
the five chains that were struck
-A&P, Safeway, Acme, Grand
Union and Food Lane. Retail
clerks, whose local 400 was IN
negotiations for renewal of an
expired contract, refused to
cross the lines and the stores
began closing. The following
day Giant shut down its 43
stores.

down of six major chain stores

The retail clerks will hold
their membership meeting to-
morrow at l pm. at the Ma
tional Guard Armory.
A membership meeting of
the clerks that had been sched-
uled for today at the Univer-
sity of Maryland has been can
celed.
Members of Local 393 of the
meatcutters union, whose mem
bers are employed at Giant
Food Stores but who are not out
on strike, will meet at the
Teamsters hall at 401 Third
street NV. at 2 pm.

at the Departmental Audito-
rum.
Both sides said they hope to
have an offer to present to the
memberships of both butcher
locals in time for their Monday
meetings.
Woodrow F. Strong. president
of the striking meatcutters To-
cal, said the companies offer
to the retail clerks provides "a
ray of light" in the dispute.
Independent stores that were
still open were jammed yester-
day by shoppers stocking up for
the week end. In many cases
store operators had to keep Gus
toners waiting outside until
others finished making their
purchases so that there would
be room inside to handle the
newcomers.
Federal Mediator James A.
Holden, who has been aiding
in the negotiations, termed the
move a hopeful" step toward
settlement.
Pressure is being felt on both
sides for a settlement Of the
dispute.
On the one hand. the chain
store executives are aware of
tremendous losses being in
CURED the longer the doors
stay closed. The overall finan-
cial loss for the Washington
area has been placed at 81
million each business day of
the strike.
Joseph B. Danzansky, chief
negotiator for the companies
estimated the loss at closer to
$3.5 million.
The strike started Wednes-
day morning. The stores have
been completely shut down
since Thursday.
On the other hand, the
strike has put some $4,000
workers out Of work. Only about
400 are actually on strike.
The rest honored picket lines
or were put out of work by the
closing of the Giant stores.
Quick Settlement Sought
Official statements from
union leaders paint a picture
of solid support for the strik-
ing meatcutters. But privately,
among leaders of other unions
such as the bakers and team
sters. the pressure for a set
tlement is being made clear.
AS one union leader said:
There are bakers out of work
who earn $3.50 a week"
Leaders of the striking butch
erS have to admit that a long
strike won't sit well with fellow
workers who are not parties to
this dispute.
One example of this concerns
a main issue in dispute in the
current strike: the butchers
demand for a one-year con-
tract.
Cost Of Living Involved
The strikers feel that prior
three-year contracts have tied
them up for too long and that
each time the cost of living
