Atlanta In Angry Stalemate
By TOM GREENE
ATLANTA (UPI)—A shouting
match between Mayor Sam
Massell and a national union
leader sent Atlanta’s municipal
workers’ strike into its third
week today in a state of angry
stalemate.
The confrontation between
Massell and Jerry Wurf, inter
national president of the Ameri
can Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employes (AFL
CIO), overshadowed a $5 a
week “bonus” for workers
granted by the Board of Aider
men.
The two men stood face to
face as Massell accused the

union of “terrorism” and Wurf
called the mayor “a little man
who suddenly got power and
can’t handle it.”
Outside City Hall, around 200
pickets intermittently shouted:
“To hell with Massell.”
The Rev. Ralph Abernathy,
head of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference, told
about 600 strikers and their
wives Tuesday night that he
will lead demonstrations if
“Massell doesn’t get the mes
sage”.
“I guarantee you’ll hear
marching feet. We’re gonna
straighten this town out,” Aber
nathy said.

Massell and Wurf had con
ferred for eight hours Monday
and met again Tuesday in an
effort to settle wage differences
that touched off the walkout of
city workers, largely in the san
itation department.
But the Tuesday meeting
quickly broke into one of heat
ed accusations. Massell said
union men were spreading
“reigns of terror.”
“You’re a contemptible liar,”
shouted Wurf. “You ugly, vi
cious rumor-monger. You con
temptible strike-breaker. You

After more angry exchanges,
Massell, red-faced, said, “This
is enough of this,” and he
stalked away.
The aldermanic meeting was
not altogether smooth, either.
Black Aiderman Marvin Ar
rington charged that the bonus
proposal advocated by Joel
Stokes, also a black aiderman,
had “racial overtones. “This
proposal is very insulting to me
personally, ’ ’ Arrington said.

The “bonus,” which goes to
laborers who stay on the job 40
hours a week, was finally ap
proved over the objections of
Arrington.
“More money” was the issue
that started the strike March
17. The city maintained it did
not have enough in the treasury
to grant all the pray raise
sought by the strikers.
Two previous pay offers were
rejected by union members.

George Meany, president of
the AFL-CIO, wired the union
leaders in Atlanta of his com
plete support of the strikers.
“Their cause is just; their
needshavebeen demonstrated,”
he said.
Originally about 2,600 workers
struck. The walkout shrunk aft

city and 1,500 according to the
union.
