Both Sides Reject Arbitration Plan

WASHINGTON, April 16 (U. P). ~The National Federation of Telephone Workers (independent) will present to ‘the public tonight its teasons for refusing to end the 10-day-old national telephone strike. The N. F. T. W. announced that its president, Joseph Bierne, will broadcast on the ABC network at 7:15 p. m. (Indianapolis time) an answer to Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach's radio talk last night. Both the N. F. T. W. and the American Telephone & Telegraph Co. rejected a girike-ending arbitration proposal by Mr, Schwellenbach. The secretary last night called on thie public to “demand of each-side” that it change its mind. Mr. Bierne said the company would have to make a wage offer first and that the strike would go on until the company makes such an offer. : Demand $12 Weekly “The health and safety and the welfare of the people of the United States depend upon the constant maintenance of the telephone industry,” Mr. Schwellenbach said. “I am asking you who want telephone service and who pay the telephone bills to demand of each side that they accept the proposal” Mr. Beirne said he did not think

Propose to Relax Ban on Parking

Won't Hurt Traffic, * Engineers Believe

Réiaxation of some parking restrictions placed on the mile square last year is being considered today by city officials. Curb parking on almost every major street in the downtown area is prohibited. After observing the effects of the parking bans on movement of ‘raffic, the engineers have expressed belief some of the restrictions can be lifted. Traffic Engineer Frank Y. Hardy and Police Traffic Inspector Audry Jacobs said they are of the opinion that parking can be allowed along certain thoroughfares without slowing down rush hour traffic.
