Nation-wide
Phone Strike
Threatened
Walkout to Hit
All but 5 States
New York, Feb. 19 The Na
tional Federation of Telephone
Workers tonight authorized the
calling of the greatest telephone
strike in history. But a glimmer
of hope for phone users "was
found in the statement by Presi
dent Joseph Beirne that the fed
eration was "willing to meet the
company more than half way to
avert a strike." , -
The big question is when the
walk-out will be called if it is
called at all. Responsibility for
"working out details of the strike
was given to the executive board,
which immediately went into
closed session in Memphis to
chart strategy and tactics.
Earlier, by a majority of almost
four to one, the 50 affiliated
union presidents voted to call the
strike to back up wage increase
demands.
Between 50 and 100-thousand
members of the 250-thousand-strong
federation have already
signed new wage contracts with
telephone companies, and most
union heads representing that
group voted against the general
strike. But in event of the na
tional walkout, they were ex
pected to honor picket lines and
refuse to accept -calls to or from
strike-bound areas. That will
mean almost a complete paraly
sis in long-distance lines.

Railroad Brotherhood
Favors Total Walkout
New York, Feb. 19. Along
with the imminent telephone
communication tie-up, tonight
there is the more serious threat
of a general railroad transpor
tation strike. The president of
the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen says that "complete re
turns from 60 of a total of 300
railroad brotherhoods show
strike ballots running 99 per
cent in favor of a nation-wide
strike. President Whitney says
the final vote will be completed
in a few days but that it is now
a foregone conclusion that the
walkout of 215,000 members will
be approved.

a hundred juniors attended t
