In New York on November 14, CIO CWA leaders charged Bell with a discriminatory lockout after 15,000 long distance operators and maintenance workers nationwide were turned away for not pledging to cross picket lines. NLRB will rule in about two weeks with possible court injunction a further 10 days. Bell disputed the claim, saying it seeks a reliable workforce to handle emergencies as talks continue in a seven and a half hour session focusing on pay and contract duration with Western Electric and IWA divisions.

Council Raps Method of Getting Autos for Governor
The Arkansas Legislative Council urged ending the use of highway department cars for the governor's office. It returned the governor's budget with a request to include funds for car operation. Senator Jerry Sertton urged paying for cars from the governor's office budget, not highway funds. The council noted five cars are currently used by the office, a practice begun years ago and needing correction. McMath asked 42,300 for next year, including a 1,000 annual raise for his secretary. The attorney general cited constitutional salary limits but allowed higher pay via legislative appropriation. Salaries above 5,000 are being sought for several state workers, including Morley, Bonds, and Baker.
