Threat of Nationwide Phone Walkout Ends for Present
New York May 3 The threat of a nationwide telephone strike ended for the present as CW A workers halted the planned walkout against Bell System. About 14 000 strikers in 43 states were notified that the walkout was called off hours before the 6 am local start time. Some workers may not have learned of the reversal in time to stop picketing and others could still refuse to cross lines. The protest involved Western Electric and AT&T subsidiaries with broader talks pending.
