Long Distance Lines May Open Late Today
Washington—(UP)—Settlement of an important and possibly pattern-setting phase of the nationwide telephone strike was reported imminent today.
The coast-to-coast strike of 300,000 telephone workers affiliated with the National Federation of Telephone Workers continued in its third day with service reduced to 20 per cent of normal for the Bell system's 26 million telephone subscribers. Could Set A Pattern
Settlement of the long distance phase of the walkout, involving 20,000 members of the American union of telephone workers, could set a pattern for adjusting disputes between other N.F.T.W. affiliates and the A.T.T.'s subsidiaries, federal conciliators hoped.
The N.F.T.W. policy committee delayed a scheduled meeting from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the expectation that the proposed long distance settlement would be ready for submission at the later hour.
The conciliators called representative of the A.T.&T. and the long distance workers into session at noon today to complete details of the impending settlement.
But final acceptance was delayed, it was said, because the union lacked funds to pay its share of arbitration expenses and because the labor deference underwriting expense payments by financially weak N.E.T.W. affiliates.
Gose To Agreement
Informed sources said that the A.T&T and long distance unions were virtually agreed on a government commitment for set-tup supplies. Sunday, night
Since the strike started Monday, the parties in the long distance negotiations have written an entire new contract covering 101 issues. All of the issues have been compromised, including five of the N.F.-T.W.'s national bargaining demands.
