Phone Strike In 37th Day
Washington May 13 A union management deadlock at Western Electric tied up by the telephone strike began April 7 and entered its 87th day. Assistant Secretary Gilson declined to say if government officials will accept a union invitation to propose a settlement. Western Electric rejected a union offer to extend the contract for four years except for wages and to arbitrate those. Labor relations chief Schmidt said there is no reason why all issues including wages cannot be settled through continued bargaining. The involved groups are the Western Electric Employer Association and the Association of Communications Equipment Workers. A third Western Electric union, the National Association of Telephone Equipment Workers, is meeting with company officials in New York.
