Adv. Attempt of "Big; Business" to Dis rupt Organized Labor With "Un American Plan' Is Alleged. In a statement addressed to the public, the strike committee of local 125, International Brotherhood of electrical Workers, yesterday de clared, among other things, that "the telephone workers' strike is a battle against the attempt of 'big business: to disrupt organized labor with the 'un-American plan The telephone workers who are members of the .union along the Pa cific coast, are on strike, this being the second week of their efforts to reach an agreement with the com pany. Operators are not yet affected. Officials of the executive offices of the company yesterday had no state ment to make on the subject. The statement of the strikers is as follows: At the conclusion of last summer's strike the company submitted an agreement. Thia agreement was rejected by the employe through a referendum vote. In November the union again proposed an agreement to the company. They were met with a counter proposal, practically identical to the one which the men had rejected four months previous. It then became apparent on the face of the situa tion that the company was merely play ing for time and was not really desirous of signing a schedule. In the meantime they had been indus triously spreading propaganda In favor of the "un-American plan," the company as sociations. It was lor this they sought to gain time. At the November conference officials suggested to the union leaders a new kind of contract, in which employes would be placed under a complicated system of classification. The plans of General Su perintendent Pullerton In this matter were vague, but one thing he made plain, that the officials alone would decide a worker's classification. Because thia would place arbitrary power in the hands of the company to reduce a wage at will, by reducing classi fication because it would make it possi ble for the company to stir up endless firiction and jealousy among the men; all of which would tend to disrupt the union and render it Impotent; because the sug gestion was contrary to every American conception of justice between employer and employed, and because Mr. Fullerton's plans were entirely too vatrue for con sideration, we rejected the proposal. But not until w had considered it for thret days. From that time on the company opened strenuous campaign to Induce, if doseI- ble, and to coerce, if necessarv. Its em ployes into aligning themselves with the un-American plan. The company savs m.nv of onr em ployes requested the company to deal with mem tnrougn tne association formed ex clusively of employes. This In the face of the fact that men whose expenses were paid by the company were sent up and down the coast to in duce the workers to join the association. This in face of the fact that men ware told by the officials to "sign up" if you like your "job" and that those who had the hardihood to refuse were discharged from the service as undesirable. ine telephone workers' strike is a hn.tt1 against the attempt of "big business" to disrupt organized labor with the "un. American plan." trade with Portland and In the inter ests of increasing the shipping indus try of the local port. Arthur C Call an will talk on "Port Spirit" as a further means of secur ing greater and more united effort along similar lines. The entertainment features will be given by "Jack" W. Carter and Arthur Johnson, "Two Jolly Shipmates.
