Arbitration Looms in Chi Strike
The Illinois Bell Telephone Co. studies a proposal to submit the 69 day wage dispute with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers to binding arbitration after a two hour meeting led by federal mediator Gilbert J. Seldin. Union officials expect a response by today. If rejected, the union may file unfair bargaining charges with the NLRB. The company favors a referendum for the union and the Democratic National Convention could be moved from Chicago if the strike persists past July 28.
