Also this contract provided that in event that the company and the union should have a disagreement regarding any question or controversy arising under the contract which could not be settled by negotiation, then both parties were required by the contract to appoint representatives to act on an arbitration committee; also that contract provided that if the arbitra tion representatives so appointed could not agree and settle the dispute by arbitration, that they should then appoint an umpire arbitrator; and if they were unable to agree upon an umpire arbitra tor or if either party refused to submit to arbi tration, then either party could apply to the Di rector of Conciliation for the appointment of such umpire to determine the question at issue. About December 1, 1945, the company volun tarily proposed to the union that the wages of some of the employees involved In this contract be increased to conform to the wages paid by the company to employees of similar classification in other parts of Oregon. The union refused to accept that voluntary ______ ______ offer, The union thereupon insisted that the com pany’s voluntary offer, as above stated, was a vio lation of the contract on the part of the company and that the contract was thereby nullified. The company contends that its action did not in any way nullify the contract. That, basically is the dispute between the union and the company. The union now demands a substantial increase in wage for all employees within the union, with out regard to the contract, and base that demand upon their claims that the contract is out of ex istence. After the union had made these demands, the company and the union committee met on numer ous occasions for the purpose of negotiation, but failed to agree. On February 14, 1946, the company addressed a letter to the union asking that they proceed un der the terms of the contract to arbitrate the dis pute, and advised the union that the company had appointed its arbitration representatives, and was willing and ready to arbitrate in acordance with the contract. However, on the morning of the 15th of Feb ruary, the union called its members out on strike. On February 16th, the company again sent written notice to the union that, in view of the mutual obligation of the company and union, to give continuous electrical service, that the union should return to work and proceed with arbitra tion under the contract On February 18th, the company again notified the union that since by the terms of the contract several days would be required to reach final arbi tration of the dispute, that t he company would at the time provided by the contract apply to the Director of Conciliation at Washington, D. for the appointment of an umpire in accordance with the contract. In the same letter the company advised the union of the names of its arbitration committee. The strike continues! 24x 3«----- 24x44 Biegger Furniture Co. 460 W.
