Outside Mediator Will Tackle Cedar Falls Power Strike
Cedar Falls businessmen said they will bring in an outside mediator to break the 13 day old strike at the municipal power plant after a deadlock between the city council and the AFL electrical workers union. The union plans to replace M. E. Sherman of Des Moines as conciliator, hoping for greater city council willingness to negotiate. Pickets still guard the plant without banners as talks approach. Lucille Remley was elected president of Alpha Beta Delta sorority at a W. L. Pearson home meeting, with Helen Wortman as VP, Barbara Stoughton as secretary, and Wanda Siebels as treasurer.
