Violent Southern Bell Telephone Strike Ends Atlanta (U.R) Labor peace i returned to the South for the first time in almost 10 weeks Saturday with the settlement of the longest and possibly the most violent telephone strike in history. Negotiators for Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co. and the striking Communications Workers of America CIO reached agreement Friday night on a new contract covering some 50, 000 telephone workers in nine states. The settlement is still subject to approval by the union rank and file but CWA District Direct or W. A." Smallwood said he would recommend it be accepted. Another Southwide . dispute reached an official end Friday with the signing of a contract by non-operating railroad brother hoods of the Louisville and Nash ville Railroad. The contract gives the brotherhood their first company-financed health and wel fare plan. Strikes Began In March Both the railroad and the tele phone strikes began March 14 but the 25,000 L&N non-operating workers returned to work at the end of eight weeks after both parties agreed to submit the dispute to binding arbitra tion. The railroad walkout was the longest since 1922 and struck a major blow at the South's econ omy. Southern Bell used super visory personnel and hired other workers to maintain much of its service during the telephone strike. Both strikes were accompanied by bitter violence, including fatal shootings, dynamitings, de railments, cable cuttings and brawls between strikers and non strikers. The telephone strike settle ment was reached after the two weeks of almost steady negotia tions supervised by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Ser vice. Company and union repre sentatives met for the first time to draw up a new contract ten months and a day ago.

The contract calls for SI to $4 wage increases per week for non supervisory employees, reclassi fication of eight cities and towns for wage purposes and snorter schedules for operators working certain nights the company said. Rural Fire Group Sets Special Vote At Central Point Central Point A special elec tion will be held in Central Point Rural Fire district May 31 for adoption of a special tax of $8,629, and for adoption of a fire prevention code. Polls will be open between 2 and 8 p.m. at the fire station south of Central Point. Fire Chief Dick Krupp said the special tax of $8,629 is nec essary to pay indebtedness and continue work of establishing better fire protection within the district. Krupp said part of the addi tional funds will be needed be fore the end of the coming fiscal year because tentative plans are for establishing another station in the White City Industrial area. He said the station has been in demand for some time, and an allotment has been made in the 1955-56 budget for de velopment of .the station. Fire Code The fire code, on which resi dents will vote, will provide reasonable regulations pertain ing to fire safety in the district, Krupp said. The code would re quire burning permits during the fire season and is recom mended by the national board of fire underwriters. Krupp said growth of areas in the district have made a fire code necessary, and many resi dents in the district have ex pressed a need for legislation to control rubbish burning. The election board appointed by the district's board of direc tors includes Miss Lillian Ander son, Mrs. Warren Patterson and Mrs. Bill Anhorn.
