Dial-Operated Service Is Unaffected By Strike
A nationwide strike of 23,000 telephone equipment installers began in New York after failed talks between the Communications Workers of America and Western Electric. Local dial operated service remained intact as 100 percent of phones were dial-operated. An agreement with 12,000 distributing house employees was reached, covering a two-year contract with wage raises of six to 12 cents per hour and a first-year ratification window.
