Palmer of Albemarle are now directing attention to fulfilling the entire program toy raising the balance of $200,000 needed to reach the goal. By decision of the Campaign Executive Committee the solici tation will continue actively un til at least the objective is reach ed. Churches have toeen asked to continue working and making every effort to assure the needed balance in the next few weeks. This ncessitates additional lead ership iby the Lutheran Pastors in activating local committees to make a complete solicitation of every member, resolicitation of members who may have under estimated the size of gifts nec essary to reach such an objective, and encouraging the “Book of Memory" plan tor individuals and groups who contribute $150 and more. In addition, churches are encouraged to consider des ignated gifts for individual rooms or section of the propos ed seven buildings at Lenoir Rhyne College. Mr. Palmer has made a special appeal to all Lutherans in North Carolina to make it their indivi dual responsibility to give gen erous and work untiringly to meet the greatest challenge ever made to the Lutheran people. Chairman Palmer cited the suc cessful experience of other de A nominations in furthering their colleges and institutions. He ex pressed great confidence in the determination of the Lutheran leaders in completing the Lenoir Rhyne Campaign at nothing short of the $1,500,000. The Cam paign Executive Committee wa^ meeting Wednesday for purposes of planning for suecesfully con cluding the campaign. According to leaders at the Campaign Headquarters in Hick ory many of the churches throu ghout the state are exceeding their objectives.

The wages and working conditions of 50,000 telephone workers in the South are now the subject of a long strike because South ern Bell management will not submit vital con tract matters to full arbitration. Telephone workers are at a loss to understand why Southern Bell is afraid of arbitration. Only one conclusion can be drawn: Southern Bell wanted this strike, and now wants it to last as long as possible. The economic power of the Bell System is enormous. Assets top SIXTEEN BILLION dol lars. There is no larger Company in the world, r rom a strictly business point of view, manage ment mistakes can be buried. With reasonable profits guaranteed by the terms of the exclusive franchises granted to the Company by State Public Utility governing boards, management can do no wrong because they do not have to pay for mistakes in judgment. The public pays. In dealing with their employees, they have also assumed that they can do no wrong. Before tele phone workers organized their own Union in the South, staffed by native folks who also grew up in the industry, management was able to play the role of the all-powerful and make it stick As a matter of fact, that is the main reason why telephone workers organized into a Union. A contract covering wages and working condi tions was finally obtained, after tremendous re sistance on the part of management. Through the years, the contract has been under consis tent attack through the Company’s policy of ‘chipping away” at the rights contained therein. Because arbitration has been limited or entire ly forbidden on many vital matters, union mem bers have historically reserved the right to strike when important grievances were ignored * or otherwise “sloughed off” by management. All of these years, we have sought to obtain full ar bitration of all matters in the contract. We re peat, full arbitration of matters IN THE CON TRACT. We believe that any item which the Company sees fit to place in the contract should be subject to enforcement by the Union. Other wise, we would have a worthless scrap of paper, not a real contract. If the Company wishes to reserve the right to violate the contract, they can’t expect much sym pathy from the Union or from the public. Arbitration procedures that are limited and restricted have proven to be utterly useless as a means of contract enforcement. That’s the kind of arbitration that the Company has put into our past contracts. Arbitration has been restricted or not permis sible on these vital matters affecting the 50,000 Southern Bell telephone workers: Discharges, Suspensions, Promotions, Trans fers, Leaves of Absence, Service Requirements, Administration of the Pension and Benefit Plan and matters affecting Health and Safety. WHY DOES SOUTHERN BELL REFUSE AR BITRATION? Let’s look into it. Are their hands tied by Bell System policy? Certainly not. All of these matters are subject to real arbitration in other Bell System con tracts. Southern Bell refuses arbitration—but not ev en the remainder of the Bell System has done that! It seems to us that Southern Bell manage ment is looking for a contract that will allow them to cover up mistakes in dealing with hu man beings, just as their mistakes in business judgment are covered up by business franchises and guaranteed profits. And there might be another reason. DOES SOUTHERN BELL WANT TO BREAK THE UNION? It could be. Many facts point in that direction. The Company has demanded a “no strike” clause; they have contended since before the strike began that the "no strike” clause is the “real” issue in dispute. Yet the Union is now and has been willing to sign a “no strike” clause! All that we ask in re turn is that the Company permit arbitration of the facts concerning our grievances. The Telephone Company has rejected arbitra tion. That precipitated the strike, and for weeks thousands of workers have been without income and you, the public, are paying for inferior tele phone service AT THE REGULAR RATES. All of this because the telephone company refuses to agree to the time-honored, the democratic and fair means of dealing with deadlocked negotia tions: ARBITRATION WE PUBLICLY CHALLENGE THE SOUTH ERN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY TO END THE STRIKE AND SEND US BACK TO WORK BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION OF OUR ENTIRE DISPUTE. YOU* THE PEOPLE. BE THE JUDGES: IS THIS A FAIR SUGGESTION? LOCAL 3605 Communications Workers of America P. O. Box 896 Gastonia. N. C.
