On July 17 of last year the Penney, Newberry, Woolworth and

Kress companies jointly negotiated and jointly signed a contract with

Retail Clerks union local 905, San Pedro, for the operation of their nine

stores in Torrance, San Pedro and Wilmington.

The companies voluntarily discussed wage adjustments in Febru­

ary, 1947, and offered a 10 per cent increase to the employees oflhe

stores. If at any time the union had accepted the 4-company offer, all

employees would have received the increase immediately, retroactive

to February 3. The union rejected the offer.

By calling a strike Wednesday afternoon, July 3, the union closed

the stores.

The companies stand willing to negotiate at any time.
