The International Union of Electrical Workers rejected a government peace plan to end the Westinghouse strike now at day 144. President James B. Carey called the conference board’s action unanimous and said the plan is unacceptable, seeking further talks with Federal Mediation Service Director Joseph Finnegan. The company had accepted the panel’s mediation terms, but Carey criticized the panel for meeting Westinghouse executives without union representatives. He noted several recommendations were acceptable though production standards and wage plans remained unclear and warned 30,000 workers could lose up to 50 cents an hour without safeguards.
