Peace Plan Spurned In N. Y. Strike
New York, March 11.-(AP)--Leaders of the building workers strike spurned peace overtures of realty interests today and planned to intensify the walk-out throughout the city.
James J. Bambrick, head of the building service employees union, described as "absurd" and "rank treachery" a recommendation by Walter Gordon Merritt, counsel for the realty advisory board, that replacement workers hired in good faith be retained.
"That's absurd," Bambrick declared. "We'll fight it out if it takes all summer."
Merritt made his recommendation in an address last night, in which he proposed a three-year extension of the mayor's agreement of 1934, and immediate arbitration of wages and further arbitration of wage rates at the end of the first and second years.
"Thus, because of this situation, the opposing groups found themselves in their customary position of being unable to synchronize conciliatory moves and possible termination of the strike was temporarily stopped."
