Garment Workers Here Go on Strike Local 341 Votes Overwhelmingly to Join Parent Union in Walkout; Nearly 500 Affected at Rosenblatt's, Dick's and Poultney- Dress; Picketing Ordered. Unionized whelmingly last that the industry Alec Karesky, mont Council, ers at Albert Poultney Dress garment workers of Rutland and Poultney voted overnight to go on strike for the first time in the 50 years has operated in this area. district manager of the Upstate New York and VerInternational Ladies Garment Workers Union, said workRosenblatt Sons and Dick's Dress Co, here, and at the Co. will quit work this morning. Picketing was scheduled to begin at 7 a.m., he declared.

Frank Lyons, New England organizing director for the ILGWU, will be in charge of the walkout by Local 341. The strike, ending 50 years without a strike in the garment trade in this city, also will bring to a halt 25 years of peace in the billion-dollar-a-year industry throughout the northeast part of the country. It was called Monday by the joint board of the union in New York after negotiations for a new contract broke down over union demands for higher pay and fringe benefits. In Rutland, some 300 employes at Rosenblatt's and 75 at Dick's Dress will be affected in addition to about 100 at Poultney. Throughout the district, some 3,000 workers are pected to be involved.

The strike vote for Rutland workers was taken at a union mass meeting last night which jammed the Bardwell Hotel. The vote was by acclamation, Karesky said, with no apparent dissent. Presiding over the meeting, in addition to Karesky, were Mrs. Nancy Bowen, chairlady of the union at Rosenblatt's, and Mrs. Bernice Ryan, chairlady at Dick's Dress.

Presiding at the Poultney meeting, which 80 workers attended, was Mrs. Orpha Spaulding, vice president of the district council, and Mrs. Margaret Kelley, chairlady. Also affected by the strike will be employes of some 25 other contractors which make dresses for the Puritan Dress Co. of Boston, as does the Poultney shop.

Union officials expressed the hope that the strike would be brief. A similar expectation was voiced in New York where David Dubinsky, president of the parent union, and other observers indicated that employers would be eager to resume production for the Easter trade as soon as possible. Action here is largely dependent upon the outcome of the strike in New York City, where some 65,000 workers are going out today. Traditionally the upstate district asks and gets a settlement parallel to that granted in the metropolis, This year, however, district union officials are talking of demands for a smaller differential between pay rates in New York City and those in the small towns. Basic demands of the union are for a 15 per cent pay increase, a $10 increase in minimum weekly rates, a 35-hour base work week and severance pay.

Imployers offered five per cent pay raise, and argued that to grant all union demands would boost their payrolls 22. per Mediation Off NEW. YORK, March 4 (P) -Efforts for a- resumption of bargaining failed today as the International Ladies Garment Workers Union prepared for strike of 105,000 dressmakers tomorrow. There appeared little hope that mediation efforts could change the situation much. before the 10 a.m.

strike deadline. The only hope, expressed on both sides, was that the strike might last only a few days and thus would not too severely cripple the pre-Easter dress business.

City Votes New Schools: (Continued from Page One), as evidence of Rutland's support of the New Industries, Inc. program last night by Robert T.

Stafford, general chairman of the $200,000 plant construction campaign. At the same time Stafford expressed his regret that the necessary two-thirds majority was not recorded in favor of the 12-inch water main proposal. "Failure of the bond issue proposal for the water main will have no effect on our fund raising plans," he said. "The campaign will proceed according to plan and every effort will be made to make other provision for water service to the Greater Rutland Industrial Park, which is essential to our plant construction Stafford added that "we have assurance of strong majority support for the new industry program following the election. Our only regret is that the majority was not big enough to solve the water problem at the Industrial Park."

Five hours later Ward 9 came in. Nine is the largest and Ward 4 is one of the smallest. But Ward 1, also husky of votes, was tallied up nearly two and three-quarters hours before Ward 9. As the telephone rang impatiently in Battles office, and candidates and election observers, twiddled their thumbs in impatience, the leisurely count went on. It arrived at the office at 1 a.m.

With all the close issues, therefore, no one could tell who was going to win, or what issue would pass, until the gigantic Ward 9 tally arrived. Until then, Abel still had a chance of getting ahead of Pfenning, the school commission picture could have changed, and anything could have happened to the bond issues. Joseph R. Paul led the aldermanic ticket, followed by Carrigan, a former school commissioner. McNeil, former board president, surprised many by taking third place.

LaBrake, an attorney who lost a close one last year, took fourth place. Greatly interesting to political observers was the picture of the alderman and tax collector results. In those races, two men who are relative newcomers to politicsPfenning and Payne- won out against heavy competition. Both are friends of Mayor Francis F. Waterman.
