The proposal, from the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company, offers a $4 weekly pay Increase to workers in Portland and nearby exchanges, and $3 to those in other cities. It also embodies what some union officials have called "dis criminatory provisions." This led Don Cranshaw, Salem chairman of the United Tele phone Employes of Oregon, to an nounce workers there voted last night, 108 to 3, to accept the company's proposal "only if the provisions are modified to pro vide better protection for strikers against company uiscriminauon.
