Sfeps To Avert
Telephone Strike
Seattle - IUPII - Union repre
sentatives met with officials
of West Coast Telephone Co.
here today in a last-ditch ef
fort to avert a walkout by
1,600 of the telephone com
pany's employees.
A federal labor conciliator
was to attend today's meeting.
Members of the Electrical
Workers Union have stayed
on their jobs without a con
tract since Nov. 30, but last
week said a strike date had
been set. The date for the
strike was withheld pending
the outcome of today's meet
ing. The major point of conten
tion in the dispute is wages.
The union hns asked tor a 10
per cent hike and the com
pany has offered a three per

A strike would affect work

phone exchanges in Western

thern California.
