PLANTS New York, March 4. Two rival electrical unions called aotne 195.000 workers to macs with poalble work stoppages to- riay ftt scores of plants of 'he General Electric Co. and Westing- hoiicc Electric Corp. The nationwide dtmonatratlons were ordered last week to protest failure to approve an old wage settlement and to mobilize support behind new nnd additional union pay demands. Negotiations are scheduled to open here tomorrow between General Electric and the two I he CIO International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers (UEi Both unions left plans for lo- day's demonstrations up to locals.

Initial reports showed some of the IUE-CIO locals work stoppages of an hour or two while units of both unions scheduled after-work or lunch-time demonstrations. A UE spokesman referred to meetings and said ho knew of no plans for stoppages. IUE-CIO has some 70,000 members at UO GE plants and 50,000 at 20 Westinghousc plants. UE has about 45,000 at 26 GE plants and 30,000 at 17 Wcstinghousc plants. GE employs some 200,000.

Figures for Westinghousc were not available. In wage talks lost both unions won a five-to-ten cent hourly boost at Wcstlnghouse plants, and a 3.58 per cent Increase from General Electric. The wage stabilization board has not acted on the Westinghousc increase, nor on a 2.0 per cent portion of the CE increase. Curing the past two weeks, IUE-CIO in separate announcements said it would seek additional unspecified cost-of-livirg wage boosts from boUi GE and West- inghousc. It said the increase should bo based partly on the bureau of labor statistics price index, Company representatives will meet with the UE and IUE-CIO delegates separately in the GE talks beginning tomorrow.

The two unions arc bitter rivals. The UE was expelled from the CIO in 1949 on grounds it followed tfle Communist Party line, an allegation denied by the UE. Present wag'e scales have not been disclosed by tho companies but an IUE-CIO spokesman said last week the average was $1.88 an hour. Request Dirt for Fill Sharpsville borough council has requested Westinghouse Electric Corporation officials to reserve dirt which will be taken from excavations for the proposed new buildings at Sharon works.
