Phone Firm Union Dispute Drives Hit Run Picketing
San Francisco July 21 The effectiveness of hit and run picketing in a two day old telephone strike in northern California and Nevada was disputed. PT T officials said normal service remained. CIO Workers said service was effectively curtailed as picketing continued at exchanges. A daylong pattern saw operators return to work when not picketed. Long distance calls mostly succeeded and emergency messages were announced during board swamps. The union planned no exchanges to be picketed tomorrow but said hit and run tactics would resume Monday. Negotiations with mediator Omar Hoskins were recessed until Monday with sides not far apart. PT T reported 28 exchanges picketed in northern California and none in Nevada. Affected cities included Sacramento Fresno Monterey Salinas Santa Cruz Palo Alto San Mateo Richmond Ukiah Auburn Placerville Oroville Grass Valley Suisun Hanford. T and T had signed a contract with 10,000 Southern California workers for a 10 percent wage hike effective tomorrow and upgrades for some employees.
