He said he did not know the exact number at the meeting. but that It was a "majority of tne union membership," which totals about 200. Strike Vote Taken To comply with the state labor law, the union took a strike vote at the plant in June. The vote was 156 for, and 21 against a strike if the union felt it necessary to call one. About 200 were eligible to vote. The pipe plant employs about 200 production workers, plus an office force. The plant stepped up production to two shifts daily only a few days ago. It had previously been working only one. A union spokesman said the is sues which have brought the strike ultimatum are all "non- cost" items, and that .no general wages increase is being sought. He said also that an agreement has been reached with thi company, pending final agreement on a full contract, covering a pen sion plan and social insurance. O. Harvey King, vice president of the Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe company and general manager of the plant, could not be reached Saturday afternoon for comment. ee t" The union representative said principal issues still in dispute concerned seniorit. , a technicality over vacation pay, and the contention of the union that it should be "more thoroughly in formed before they go into effect" on plans for incentive pay. The spokesman said the union feels its members do not have adequate seniority protection unHe der the previous contract. said the union seeks to eliminate the arbitrary July 1 date in connection with vacations and obtain a week's vacation for one year of work arid two weeks for five years. This provision i already in the contract save for the July 1 date which, the spokesman said, would require a man to work 23 months, for instance, if he were hired on Aug. 1 before getting a week's vacation. The union is also seeking three weeks vacation after 25 years service, which it does not now have. This provision is in the basic ste;l contract throughout the nation, including the Geneva Steel company. Powder Plant Strike United Steelworkers representatives said Saturday that a federal mediator has been called in for the first time on the Illinois Powder plant strike, where their union halted work 22 days ago.

At the Republic Creosotlng rs plant, t where the United also hold the bargaining agency, work is proceeding on an extended contract basis although the old contract expired several months ago.
