TZK MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday. August 20, 1958 Western Electric Phone Installers Go Out on Strike Portland U.R) Some 700 telephone installer in Oregon, Washington and Idaho walked off the job today following a stalemate in negotiations for a new contract with Western Elec tric company in New York. D. G. Ward, president of the North Pacific local of the Com munication Workers of Amer ica, said "there will be no West ern Electric installers working today in this local, 9290." Ward said that pickets were not sent out immediately but that they might be before the day is over "depending upon how things shape up." He called it a walkout "in protest of a stalemate in bargaining." A spokesman for the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph com pany said it was unlikely that telephone service would be af fected. "The problem would be whether or not other communi cations workers would honor the picket lines and stay out," a spokesman said. PT&T said it was "in no way involved" in the dispute. The installers install head of fice and switchboard equipment. Negotiations for a new con tract were continuing in New York. Ward said there were about 158 workers in Oregon, with 100 in Portland and others in Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, Medford, Bend and Klamath Falls. According to local Pacific Telephone and Telegraph offi cials here no trouble in tele phone service in the Rogue val ley is anticipated. The local service will not be affected due Sawmill Near Sandy Leveled by Flames Sandy (U.PJ Owners esti mated damage today at more than $250,000 from an early Sunday morning fire that leveled the Walter Koch sawmill just west of here.
