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.
"No Strike" Clause
A Southern Bell spokesman
said the proposed contract in
cludes a "no-strike" clause, one
of the major issues in the strike,
The company insisted on the pro
vision but the communications
workers said they would not ac
cept unless arbitration of griev
ances was included.
Lonnie B.. Daniel, chairman of
the telephone union's negotiat
ing committee, said "full-scale
arbitration in accord with union
demands" was included.
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.
Talent Garden Club

clean-up work may send it to

mer, sweat and suspect as the
weeks went by without a word
of their valued possessions.
During the absence of the bell,
gavel and tailtwister, wives of
Jacksonville Lions induced their
husbands to take them to dinner
in a group and out of town.
Thus a dinner meeting was
scheduled at Mary's Casa in Med
ford but still no bell, gavel or
tailtwister.
During the meeting, a myste
rious telephone call was received
stating the Lions club equipment
would arrive before dinner was
over. ,
And it did.
And after dinner, the Lions
club wives, overjoyed at their
achievement, confessed of taking
the bell, gavel and tailtwister
from under their husbands' noses
to use as an implement for an
out-of-town dinner. ' '
