It called for a 15 cent boost to $3.15. This was one cent higher than previous ofters. The local is seeking a 50-cent boost to $3.50, plus double time on Saturdays and overtime plus fuli board and room. “We sought to temper the de- mands on the basis of national sec- urity,” committee chairman Keith Young said. Odle countered: “I don’'t think the membersttp will accept $3.15 after the conces sions granted the Fairbanks local. What's reasonable for Fairbanks is reasonable for Anchorage. I ex- pect a strike vote when we meet this Friday. However, I don't an- ticipate any picketing.” Young and Larry Moore, Asso- ciated General Contractors man- ager who sat in at the meeting, said most big jobs are ready now for plumbing, including vital class- ifled military projects, housing de- velopments and hospitals. They added that all 260 local plumbers can be put to work promptly, plus additional plumis®s imported from the states. Moore said: “All important construction will be seriously and adversely affected if a strike is called.” Sheet metal workers accepted a 15 cents an hour increase last week, leaving the plumbe (AN only trade not signed yes BUMS GiVEN RUSH IN VALDEZ; NEED FOR POLICE SEEN » — its VALDEZ, Alaska, Juiy 20 — Valdez is cracking down on vagrants and panhandlers, It was all right as long as they sunked in shacks at the city dump, even though they were a nuisance in town.
