Phone Hall Threatens In 44 States
Mountain States Federation of Telephone Workers refused yesterday to observe picket lines. The federation covers nearly all Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company employees across Colorado Arizona Idaho New Mexico Montana Utah Wyoming and El Paso Texas. Union leaders warned that if the National Federation of Telephone Workers with 263000 members and allied unions honor the strike, switchboard posts would be left unmanned and critical telephone functions disrupted nationwide. This follows a separate Western Electric Company strike involving 17000 manufacturing workers the prior week. In Washington Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone operators began returning to posts at 10 am for a union protest meeting causing immediate service curtailment and reports that operators are on strike.
