Strike Continues But
Markets Operating
(Continued From Page One)
comprise the Roseburg Independ
ent Meat Dealers Association.
Carlson said he "charged the
union" with an unfair labor prac
tice in trying to "break down the
employers' group" by approach
ing individual market operators
in an effort to persuade them to
meet the union's terms.
Carlson said the employers are
united and "up and until last
night" none had signed a con
tract with the AFL Meatcutters
Union.
At issue in the contract dispute
between the union and market
operators are wages and hours.
The meatcutters seek $75 for a
40-hour work week, while the em
ployers have offered $72.50 for a
48-hour week. The employers' of
fer was rejected by the- union
yesterday. i
Carlson Bidden To Appear
S. W. Barker, representing the
AFL Meatcutters Union, stated
today that Carlson had been cited
to appear before the Roseburg
Central Labor Council to explain
the employers' side in the cur
rent meatcutters' strike. This is
a customary practice, he said.
The request -that he appear
had been sent by registered mail
with a return receipt. When he
failed to heed the request, it
was presumed he no longer rep
resented the Roseburg Inde
pendent Meat Dealers Associa
tion and efforts were made' to
sign individual market operators
to the union contract, said Bark
er. He explained pickets, have been
placed at all butcher . shops and
groceries with meat markets in
connection that are "unfair."
All markets not now being pick
eted are not "unfair," he said.
There are enough available mar
kets and butcher shops in this
area to meet all individuals'
needs, Barker emphasized
Unions Hold Conference
The pickets are being recog
nized bv people of allied crafts
within the Roseburg Central La
bor Council, Barker pointed out.
Among these are the Retail
Clerks International Association,
the. Culinary Workers, and the
Teamsters Union.
Barger met this morning with
representatives of other unions
to discuss issues in the strike. At
tending the meeting were Mrs.
Helen Bowles of tne Culinary
Workers, Edward J. Hawes, Re
tail Clerks, and Marvin C. Mayo,
Teamsters.
Regarding bakery deliveries, :
Barker pointed out that the
Teamsters have contracted with
Patterson's Bakery to handle all
products after they leave the
plant. To make "side door deliv
eries," by selling to grocers at
the plant, would be depriving
teamster drivers of their liveli
hood, as well as violating provi
sions of the union contract.
"We are quite willing to sit
down with Mr. Carlson at any
and all times he wishes to meet
use," Barker said.

Vote To Walk Out
(Continued From Page One)
"negotiations have produced no
results" and asked that the Com
mittee be empowered to call a
strike.
Two Courses Open
Two methods of government
intervention may be used to
prevent or delay the strike.
President Truman is empow
ered under the Taft-Hartley Act
to seek an injunction to prohibit
a strike during an 80-day arbi
tration period. Such an Injuc
tion was applied in a similar
dispute between Carbide and an
AFL union here more than a
year ago.
Another is procedure to settle
strike threats in vital AEC oper
ations proposed by a special com
mission headed by former War
Labor Board Chairman William
Davis.
Under this plan, a three-man
panel appointed by the Presi
dent would enter an atomic
labor dispute only after all other
means had failed. The contest
ing parties would be obligated,
once the panel intervened, to
maintain the status quo for 30
da vs.
