I : If ' ' ; 1 I I Reported strike oe wire workers HOT UKELY HOW Secretary of Electrical Union Does Not Anticipate Wage Walkout Friday Humors current yesterday, to the ef fect that the electrical Wkers of this "city would strike Friday, were found last night to be anauthentieated. It was reported the electricians would walk out if the demand made by them for an increase of twenty-fire cents an hour was not granted. .The new eon tract, which, becomes effective October 1, was submitted to the electrical em ployes some time ago. It contain the new scale of U.25 per hour. The Mas ter Builders' association met Friday jiight and went on record as being op posed to the increase, taking the view that prices are lowering-nd that there shoiild 'be -no increase in wages at this time.' ' ' ' M T. H' McAllister, 'secretary of the local branch of the International Rrotherhood of Electrical Workers, was interviewed last; night and de-j clared that he did, not anticipate a He said" he understood the Master Builders' association opposed the in crease on the .ground that price were tumbling, oweer, Mr. McAllister de clared that the electrical workers did not believe local prices would be re duced materially for some time and, therefore, they " regarded their request as consistent. Mr. McAllister "expressed the belief that the electrical contractors desired to be fair with their , employes and, he believed, their employer wanted to be fair with them. He said that he realized- materials used in electrical work had advanced considerably In cost some essentials having doubled; but that the cost of copper was .about sta tionary now and porcelain is down a bit. And, he declared, the members of the International Brotherhood of Elec trical Workers were anxious to do the right thing by- both the public -and their employer and, if any respresent ative of either would appear, at their meeting Friday night (and prove vjthat their demand was unreasonable, he felt certain the men would be willing to withdraw their request for increased pay.-. Mr. McAllister stated that the Build ing Trades council indorsed the ;.new contract and that he believed it to be juetvHe- explained that the electrical workers were not assured of a regular number of working hours a "week, be cause of the uncertainty of the weath er", which caused them to b -laid off of ten" throughout the year. Mr- McAllister said the old contract was made on a basis of ninety cents per hour, but the1 employers themselves took cognizance of the high cost of liv ing and voluntarily increased the pay per hour to one dollar. '.-''- SULLIVAN TO MAKE SURVEY CAMPAIGN PUBLIC (Continued from Page One.) ' it is, we have reached the month during which candor is as a rule, , unpalatable! to the. reader and costly to the giver. Candidates, both, for major and minor offices, political leaders,- editors, .and ardent party7 men generally, are all in a state . of emotion where candor " is usually a not highly valued commodity either as to the producer or the con sumer. Nevertheless as I have said, those who have the opportunity to ac quire candid facts and to form candid Judgments have the clear duty of trans mitting them. Tour correspondent hopes to present- during the: coming month a statement , of conditions throughout the country, the candor and accuracy of which can be depended upon with confidence. I have been in corre pondence with many hundreds of per sons governors, 'members '. of con gress, senators and former holders of these offices, . party leaders, editors, newspaper- men, chairmen, and mem bers of state, national and county Democratic and Republican commit tees, and the like. All thia correspond ence has been In confidence and the circumstances of it, including in near ly all cases personal acquaintance with the writer, insure as near an approxi mation to candor , as can readily be ac complished. As one of .my correspond ents wrote: i'Sure. I can give you the right dope when I am talking honest to a friend outside the state." Will Check Information ' With this information' from all sec tions of the country in hand, your cor respondent begins a personal tour of survey throughout the country, in each community checking up by personal contact the mass of Information and judgments already received. The tour will-take in practically all the impor tant doubtful states, with the possible exception of California, which may turn out to be impracticable to visit. I am now with Senator Harding on his tour, which ends in Kentucky. Thereafter I expect to Join, Governor Cox's train in Oklahoma during the latter part of his tour, and then continue through the Important doubtful states of the west and the middle west. , The survey of the west beyond the Mississippi will be made aiter vn, Harding and Cox have concluded their tours. in tnat territory, and after con ditions have crystallized to the point where, presumably, they will remain until election day. ' After completing the ' tour' of jthe west beyond the Mississippi, I hope to Join the Cox and. Harding trains on their trips through the middle west and Into the south, and will try to es timate conditions in that region, espe cially in the two important and doubt ful states, Indiana and Offio. The sur vey of the big eastern states will be made during the last week of the cam paign. .. -.. . :v.- With the data I already the personal survey I .hope to pay quite o utu aneuiiun io tne light for con trol of the senate as to the nreairtftnMai contest.
