PHONE GIRLS ALSO WAIT ltoth Organizations Meet Tonight to Take Action on Request of California. Strikers. ELECTRIC.tL-TELEPHOSB STRIKE SITUATION. t Portland Electrical workers t and telephone operators fail to obey orders of International of ficers to go on strike. Seattle, Wash. Reduced tele phone service maintained Sunday, following; partial walkout of op erators. Tacoma, Wash. Electrical workers of Tacoma defer action on strike order until Monday night. Spokane, Wash. No action taken on order to strike. All telephone operators working. Though both electrical workers and telephone operators of Portland Satur day night received orders to go out on sympathetic strike, there was no walk out by either union yesterday. The threatened strike of electrical workers employed by the Pacific Tele phone and Telegraph company here was held In obeyance at least 24 hours. Ac tion will be taken tonight upon orders received Saturday night from I C. Grasser, international vice-president of San Francisco. Telephone operators will meet tonight to act on orders re ceived from Nellie Johnson, department vice-president, also of San Francisco. Meanwhile telephone service continues uninterrupted. Hasty Action Opponed. Opposition to hasty action developed at yesterday morning's special meeting of electrical workers, and caused post ponement of a decision until tonight. C. W. Hurd, who represented the Port land local at the conference in Cali fornia recently, presided at the meet ing, and is said to have led the move ment against an immediate walkout. and to have advocated a referendum, which, opponents say, will require two weeks. One of the reasons advanced for de laying action was that members of the local now out of the city should bo given an opportunity to come to Port land and participate in the meeting. Notices were sent to an of these mem bers yesterday, and it Is predicted to night's session will be attended by practically all active members of the organization. Referendum Is Oppo.ed. Opponents of the referendum sugges tion point out that the order to strike came, direct from L. C. Grasser, inter national vice-president, and that a vote cannot now be taken legally. It is pointed out, also, that the vote regis tered some months ago never lias been invalidated, and still is in effect as a basts upon which to act in case such an expression might be necessary. This was reported as almost unanimously In favor of a strike. The telephone oper ators voted In favor of a strike at' the same time. Phone Operators Act Tonight. Mrs. Agnes Johnson, president of tne telephone operators' local, who had gone to Seaside, was expected home late last night to take charge of the situation. In her absence Vera Epling. secretary of the organization, made ar rangements for the mass meeting to" be held on the third floor of the Selling Hirsch building tonight. "No new instructions have been re ceived today," she announced yester day, "and no action will be taken until the mass meeting assembles Monday night." Strike Vote Rescinded. That the strike vote taken several months ago has been rescinded. In ef fect, by the action of the telephone company in opening negotiations with the workers, was the assertion made last night by President Hurd of the electrical workers. The question voted on at that time, he said, was for a strike unless the government or the telephone company consented to ne gotiate. He insists that it will be necessary for electrical workers to vote prior to walking out, and ques tions the right of the international officers to issue a call such as was re ceived here Saturday night. "When I left San Francisco, from which city I arrived this morning," said Mr. Hurd. "I was assured by the inter national officers that a referendum would be in the malls by this morning. When I arrived here I learned that the strike order had been issued in direct opposition to the agreement reached at the conference." Division In Rank. Admitted. Mr. Hurd called attention to the fact that the telephone company had made concessions, among them being a wage scale of 6 per day for electrical work ers, the same as is paid in other sec l Concluded on 1'ase Column .) i t
