PICKETS TIE UP TELEPHONE SERVICE: Approximately 50 operators, Western Electric technicians and building trade workers assembled outside the Michigan Bell Telephone Co. building on E. Washington St. this morning as members of Division 44 of the Communications Workers of America went on a scheduled 12-hour strike to protest delays in the current management-union wage negotiations. Picket lines were set up in front of the office entrance and the entrance to the construction job, halting both operators and plumbers, iron workers, masons and carpenters working on the new $450,000 telephone company addition.
