By CHARLES H. HERROLD United Press Staft Correspondent WASHINGTON. April 9—8ettle~ ment of an important and possibly

pattern-setting phase of the na-|.

tionwide telephone strike was reported imminent today. Whether the anticipated settle-ment-~between the American Tele-

long distance = employees — would provide a strike-ending formula for the entire industry was a matter which the National Federation’ of Telephone Workers’ policy committee would have to decide. Edgar L. Warren, director of the U. 8. conciliation service, voiced la-| bor department optimism in testimony before a senate appropriations subcommittee. Questioned about possibility of a strike settlement, he said: “We are hopeful, particularly in the long lines negotiations. Both parties are anxious to reach a settlement.”

Strike in Third Day The parties ‘have reached an agreement on all but five basic money demands and have agreed! tentatively to submit them to arbitration. The hitch has been that the union lacked funds to pay its share of expenses of a three-man arbitration board suggested by the company. It proposed a one-man arbitrator instead. Meanwhile, the coast-to-coast strike of 300,000 telephone workers affiliated with the N. F. T. W. continued in its third day with service across the nation reduced to 20 per cent of normal for the Bell system’s 26 million telephone subscribers, 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 Sispules between other N.
