Union to Act Tonight
On Pittsburgh Power
Company's Otter
ly th« Associated Press
PITTSBURGH. Sept. 9—Leaders
of an independent union of Du
quesne Light Co. employes agreed
to let a 50-man general policy com
i mittee decide tonight—four hours
before an extensive strike is sched
uled to start over an 817-square
mile area—on whether to accept a
company offer to arbitrate then
contract dispute.
Although top union officials pre
viously rejected flatly the arbitra
tion proposal and the union rank
and file voted to authorize the strike,
the union yielded to pressure by
Mayor David L. Lawrence and
agreed to submit the issue to the
general committee at a 7 p.m.
meeting.
At the same time, the union
officials refused a demand made by
Mayor Lawrence that the union
membership vote on arbitration.
Mayor Lawrence, grim and hag
gard from his night and day labors
as a volunteer mediator, said he was
advised by the union that the policy

committee has the power to nullify
the strike vote.
Earlier, union and company
officials indicated that even if the
strike comes, there will be a small
amount of power available for
emergency uses and some residences.
The development came after the
Mayor warned in a radio broadcast
neither he nor the public would
accept the “ultimatum" of a strike
deadline. He called the company
“psychologically incompetent” and
termed the union "poorly led and ill
advised.”
Meanwhile, it was disclosed that
city officials were investigating the
possibility of court action to avert
the strike and some quarters indi
cated an injunction would be sought.
At the same time, Sheriff Walter C.
Monaghan of Allegheny County
urged the company to attempt to
continue service in the event of a
strike and promised to protect em
ployes who want to work.
"I want to talk to these people
face to face,” the Mayor said as
he called a policy committee in his
office at noon. '
Slightly more than 1.000 of the
utility's 3.500 employes voted last
Tuesday for a strike in support
of union demands for 20 per cent
wage increases, a closed shop, a
master contract for affiliated com
panies, a profit-sharing plan and
many other concessions. The util
ity contends the raise increases
would cost a prohibitive $22,500,000
a year.
Soaring labor costs and high
prices have prostrated business in
Shanghai, China.
