and Memphis Chapter Painting and Decorating Contractors of America for 6:30 tonight at the AGC Dudley and Vance in an effort to hreak the deadlock Also Local 49 will meet at the Labor Temple at 8 tonight Actually the sign painters and the house painters as the commercial painters are called are in the same local but have different bargaining committees Malcolm Futhey union business agent is on both commit-tees and is the key man 1 Futhey refuses to discuss the strike against the paint contractors at all but discussed thesign strike He said there was an agreement not to publicize the other matter John Parish of John Parish Sons painters is chairman of the bargaining committee for the contractors He also declined to discuss the matter because of the "gentlemen's But The Press-Scimitar

Bolivar contract is negotiating for 20 big paint contractors who are members of the Memphis Chapter Two other contractors not members are waiting for a settlement and will go along with the Chapter members Futhey who ran for city commissioner on the Watkins Over-ton ticket last year has signed nine small contractors These are all men who still have their union cards and employ a total of about 25 painters Contractors say Futhey is trying to sign them individually instead of as a group but that none of the chapter members have agreed to this Futhey said only 50 painter and helpers are on strike at the sign companies Others say there are more Roseberry said he learned that 419 painters are on strike including 267 commercial and 152 sign painters The painters get a minimum of $256ii cents an hour They asked an increase of 15 cents an hour The contrators offered 125 cents an hour increase Not Really the Money A contractor said it really the money that the contractors probably would meet the 25 cents an hour they are apart He said Futhey just wouldn't bargain any more with the chapter There also was a difference about the size of hrushes used by painters and the way scaffolds are hung But a contractor said this isn't a real difficulty and the contractors don't want to over that Tiie strike at seven sign companies has heen on since May 15 Pickets are at Arnett
