Blake, secretary of the building service employes, said the vote by some 300 work ers was overwhelming for a strike. But Blake said the vote did not mean there would be imme diate picketing or work stop pages. He said James Murphy, union international officer, was to meet today with Episcopal Bishop Benjamin D. Dagwell to attempt to settle differences. The church owns and operates the institution. Blake added, however, that "if one person is fired up there in the meantime, all the rest will go out." He said the union asks secur ity, wage increases and a reduc tion in the spread of time be tween starting and top pay wa ges.
