The strike of telephone operators
and electrical worker in all cities
of California. Oregon and Washing
ton which was schedul'd to take
place this morning has bom again
postponed to await the outcome of
further negotiations which are
under way. The International Hrotli
c rhood of Kioct rice 1 Workers under
whose auspices the walk out has
been arranged had previously
.vellded to pressure for delay, desir
ing not to offer any obstacles to the
■ li'orts which were bein':; made in | i
heliair of the second Liberty Loan
drive.
The ultimatum which their officials
had served upon the companies had
expired without sign of relenting
from the companies and all hopes
of preventing a complete tie-up of
their service had been abandoned.
Preparations tor what promises to
be resumed in the event of further
failures at settlement. All em
ployers including the linemen are
united in support of the demands
)f the operators for increases in
lie wage scale ami for improve
neats in conditions and a long He
lp is expected if the companies
ontimio their determined policy to
giore the worke’s organizations.
Beyond a bulletin announcing the
lev. postponement no indication of
settlement is in sight.
