Ea Howard Overlin ‘ Makes Statement On Strike Talk The Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company here, made the following comment to- day. on the CWA-CIO threat to call a nationwide telephone strike for February 8. “All this talk of a telephone strike before Southern Bell and. many other telephone companies have even started collective bar- gaining is an obvious attempt to stampede the companies into granting unrealistic demands. It is evident that the national Union leaders have little confidence in the merits of their demands and are threatening strong-arm méth- ods to high pressure the public and the Telephone Company. Ne- Sotiations on a new wage agree- ment between Southern Bell and the CWA-CIO begin February 6. The existing contract calls for bargaining to continue* for 30 days. We are prepared to bargain fully with the Union at the bar- aining table, but we will not be stampeded by the national CIO leaders’ ‘War of Nerves.’” included a large number of, out) of town residents, the clinic re- vealed. es . } There were 27 infant deaths in | the county in 1949; tuberculosis caused six deaths, and dysentery one death. is given at 23,200.
