Chance Of Rubber Industry, Union Accord Before Monday Dim

NAUGATUCK— Representatives of the United Rubber Workers Union met in Cincinnati, Ohio, at 10 a.m. today, and the possibility grew stronger that there will be no further talks with representatives of Uniroyal, Inc. until Monday morning.

This will extend the walkout of some 5,000 members of the three local unions over the weekend. The strike began shortly after midnight today, when talks failed in Cincinnati

Pickets were set up at the Maple St. gate and warehouse office entrances by Local 45 at the Footwear Plant and at one gate each at the Chemical Division and Synthetic Plants.

Picketing was peaceful this morning and all three locals were permitting management personnel to pass through the lines.

Throughout the early morning hours today, pickets were also peaceful as third shift personnel manned their posts in 40-degree temperature. Teams are scheduled to picket in two-hour shifts.

Labor and management representatives from the giant URW and four major rubber producers have been negotiating terms for a new two-year master contract for one month.

Although it was not known what obstacles prevented a settlement by midnight Thursday, three of the four major producers, B. F. Goodrich, Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. and Uniroyal, were struck at midnight or shortly after.

In negotiations with Goodyear in Cincinnati, the union agreed to continue negotiating on a day-to-day basis, with the first session scheduled for 10 a.m. this morning.

Across the nation some 75,000 workers are affected by the negotiations, with approximately 21,000 employed by Uniroyal

As the contract deadline drew near Thursday night, a call from the local presidents in Cincinnati asked the locals—45, 218 and 308—to hold strike action for one-half-hour to permit management to present its final proposal

plants represented by the United Rubber Workers of America went on strike shortly after midnight when the company and the union failed to reach agreement on a new contract covering wages and employee benefits.

“No time has been set for resumption of the negotiations.

“The company stated it had offered to continue the contract on a day-to-day basis with the plants in operation, which it felt would be in the best interest of its employees and customers. The union declined this offer.

“The Company announced it had offered a substantial increase in wages and various improvements in employee benefits.

“The strike does not affect employees at other plants of the company not represented by the URW.”

This morning, downtown Naugatuck has assumed a holiday cloak. A small number of pickets are stationed at each gate with no incidents reported.

UniRoyal workers not knowing what to do with their leisure time and anxious for news of the strike are driving around the downtown areas or simply standing near the gates watching the pickets.

Police Chief Frank Mariano reported this morning that Captain Joseph Summa is in charge of the men on special strike assignments. Summa reported he has posted one policeman at each gate of the striking plants with a total of 10 men pressed into extra duty.

Summa also has a motor patrol checking on strike activity. The policemen are equipped with radios to keep headquarters posted on conditions, although no trouble is anticipated.

Local 45 union headquarters said this morning it has pickets at every gate. About six pickets are assigned to each gate. Picketers are allowing white collar workers to cross the lines as well as doctors and nurses and anyone in need of emergency treatment.

The Local also reported everything was orderly this

morning, no production workers attempted to cross the lines and the company made no attempt to bring trucks in or out of the plants.

Both the union and company are eager to keep the strike quiet and each is being cautious so not to step on the others’ toes.

Reliable sources report that the tire division of UniRoyal is most dissatisfied with the conditions of the contract being offered by the company.

Goodyear has received an agreement from the union to continue working on a day-to-day basis. Negotiations were to begin at 10 this morning.

The fifth of the big five rubber firms, General Tire, began negotiations Tuesday under a May 15 deadline. Contracts signed with the big firms are generally used as a basis for negotiations with smaller firms.

“A strike will be bad for Naugatuck. People won’t buy.” A wife and mother whose husband works for UniRoyal, “Of course I don’t want a strike. It’s okay for a week, but no longer.”

It is obvious that the strike was anticipated by most local residents. One can only hope that it will be settled quickly to every one’s satisfaction.

UniRoyal this morning issued the following statement on the strike:

“Approximately 22,000 employees of UniRoyal, Inc. at 19

G. Bucciaglia, Native of Italy, Dies at Age 101

Giuseppe Bucciaglia, 101, of 27 Shamrock St., died yesterday in Doctors Hospital after an illness of a few weeks.

His wife, Vincenza (Capuno) Bucciaglia, died in 1956.

He arrived in Worcester in 1898, coming from his native Sparanese in the Province of Caserta in Italy. He worked for the Worcester Parks Department for many years, and was last employed as a laborer for the former Hatch & Barnes Co., retiring 36 years ago.

Spright until just before his death, Mr. Bucciaglia danced and sang with 50 relatives at a 100th birthday.

He had lived through the assassinations of two presidents, William McKinley and John F. Kennedy. McKinley was shot in Buffalo, N. Y., in 1901, and Kennedy was killed on Mr. Bucciaglia’s birthday 11 years ago.

He leaves two sons, Anthony A. and Albert J. Bucciaglia, both of Worcester; two daughters, Anna, wife of Emile Dumas, with whom he lived, and Josephine, wife of Frank Sisti, both of Worcester; 10 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.

He was born in Sparanese, son of Salvatore and Concetta (Ranucci) Bucciaglia, and lived in New York three years before moving to Worcester.

The funeral will be held Tuesday from Arthur S. Manzi & Son Funeral Home, 179 Shrewsbury St., with a Mass at 9 a.m. in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, 24 Mulberry St. Burial will be in St. John’s Cemetery.

Calling hours at the funeral home are 7 to 9 tonight and 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. tomorrow. The family requests that flowers be omitted.

Strike Benefit Checks Given Tuesday, Weds

United Rubber Workers local unions, Local No. 45, Naugatuck Footwear, Local No. 218, Naugatuck Chemical, and Local No. 308, Naugatuck Synthetic, will disperse strike benefit checks commencing Tuesday and Wednesday between the hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Members of each respective local should report to their own local union headquarters for strike benefit checks.

Those members who have performed or made themselves available for strike duty will be eligible for strike benefit checks.

Local No. 45, Naugatuck Footwear, will disperse benefit checks according to employee’s clock numbers as follows: Tuesday, 9 o’clock numbers 1 to 3,000; Tuesday, 12 noon, No. 3001 to No. 7000; Wednesday, 9a.m., No. 7,001 to No. 11,000; and Wednesday, 12 noon, No. 11,001 to No. 15,999.

John Smith, was hustled into
the Central Office Building by
local police who pushed their
way through a group of about
20 women pickets.

Once safely inside, the women
resumed their circling in front
of the door.

At one point, they chanted,
“Talk it over, Blue-Coats, talk
it over” at a group of about 15
policemen standing a few feet
away.

Also at times they broke into song, singing “America,” “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” and others. At one point they chanted, “You ran out of gas.”

Also at times they broke into
song, singing “America,” “I’ve
Been Working on the Railroad”
and others. At one point they
chanted, “You ran out of gas.”
Perhaps this was in reference
to the situation in the borough
about a year ago when local
police vehicles were grounded
for about 24 hours when it was
determined there was no funds
to purchase more gasoline for
them.

Whenever a person attempted
to enter the Central Office
Building, picketed soley by wo-
men, groups of men would come
to their assistance. There were
few instances where anyone
made the attempt and few in-
stances where anyone was suc-
cessful.

One man said, “Let’s make this our ‘Custer’s Last Stand.'”

One man said, “Let’s make

A few others jeered the idea of
letting male workers inside.

Mengacci asked, “Do you all
want to go to jail?” The ques-
tion was answered by a number
of persons with a resounding
“Yes.”

When male management
workers started filing through
the gate, however, there were
no incidents except for scat-
tered booing. The long line
reached from the Maple St.
gate almost to Church St. inter-
section. Traffic had been
blocked off on the street.

He added that management had asked Local 45 for four men to help get the shipments out; the local turned down the request, he said, and some of the supervisory personnel was then sent in to get the shipments out.

A statement concerning the negotiations in Cincinnati, circu-

lated among Uniroyal management, was neither confirmed nor denied by top level Local officials in Cincinnati.

The statement claimed that although Uniroyal had offered to continue negotiations on a day-to-day basis after the strike was called, the URW had turned down the offer, “with the result that 22,000 of our people are losing more than $500,000 per day in wages and benefits.”

The circular also stated that “although major economic proposals were submitted on April 12, the union did not present proposals on the labor contract until April 19, one day before the contract expiration deadline.”

It was further claimed that the union’s proposals were “unrealistic and prohibitive, and to date, (April 28) the union has made no changes in these demands.”

In Bristol, pickets appeared in front of the Uniroyal warehouse on Center St. Wednesday just after midnight when it was learned that management was going to try to ship from the local warehouse.

Three pickets took up their posts in front of the warehouse about midnight Tuesday and by the time mid-morning rolled around, there were 11. Early in the afternoon there were six.

Four members of management were in the office this morning.

At 7:45 a.m., when workers for the 8 o’clock shift began to arrive, a second outbreak flared up, but was quickly squelched by police.

At 7:45 a.m., when workers
for the 8 o’clock shift began to
arrive, a second outbreak flared
up, but was quickly squelched
by police.

Those arrested during the sec-
ond outbreak did not resist
being taken to the police station,
as the first group had.

Two union vice presidents
were among the 43 arrested.
Raymond Mengacci, 47, 37 Fair-
child St., of Local 45, and Cyrus
J. Blanchard, 46 Hill Rd., of Lo-
cal 218 at the Chemical Plant
were arrested along with Clif-
ford Owens, 57, Wooster St., a
former Local 45 president, and
Fire Comsr. Jose Pinho, 37, 129
Aetna St.

Mengacci would not comment
on the arrests, but did say that
the union members “would com-
ply with the law. . .if an injunc-
tion is served on us.”

Rumored Injunction

As to what would happen Fri-
day, when office workers and
supervisory personnel are to re-
turn to work again, Mengacci
said, “We haven’t got the slight-
est idea. We have been con-
ferring with our attorneys, and
we expect to play it by ear as
we go along. We have heard
that we will be served with an
injunction, but have not re-
ceived any word to date.”

A public relations agent from
the New York office, Frederick
Chapman, said today that no
word had been received on the
possibility of an injunction.

Chapman said that if the pick-
ets continued to prevent super-
visory personnel from entering
the offices, a restraining order
would definitely be sought.

The public relations agent cit-
ed an agreement between union
and management groups prior
to the strike, which stated that
supervisory personnel would be
admitted to the plant during the
course of a strike.

To get a restraint order, said
Chapman,, it would have to be
proved that pickets were pre-
venting supervisory personnel
from entering the offices.

50 Members of Bucciaglia Family Honor 100-Year-Old Patriarch

By BRIAN R. CARTER
Of the Telegram Staff

The Bucciaglia family paid a very special type of homage to their patriarch yesterday.

Fifty members of the clan turned out in true festival regalia to celebrate the 100th birthday of the family’s oldest member, Joseph Bucciaglia.

A native of Sparinze, Italy, new centenarian Bucciaglia presided over the afternoon affair, danced his favorite Italian folk dances, smoked his special Italian cigars and imbibed in his favorite spirits, good Italian wine.

Surrounded by relatives at the Olympia Club in Shrewsbury, Bucciaglia, accompanied by the Bill Storey

Long-Lived Family

Longevity seems to run in the Bucciaglia family. Joseph’s brother, who died several years ago, lived to celebrate his 95th birthday. Bucciaglia’s wife, Virginia (Capuano) Bucciaglia, died in 1956.

A keen man still, Bucciaglia came to Worcester in 1898 and vividly remembers the assassinations of President McKinley in 1899 and President Kennedy. President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed on Bucciaglia’s birthday nine years ago.

In addition to his work with the city’s Parks Department, Bucciaglia worked as a laborer for the former Hatch and Barnes Lumber Co. on Union Street many years ago.

trio, even sang one of his favorite Italian songs, “O Marie.”

The spright, mustachioed Bucciaglia, who worked for the Worcester Parks Department for many years, still delights in planting and cultivating flowers. He putters in a small garden at his home at 12 Shamrock St. where he lives with his daughter, Mrs. Emil Dumas.

The birthday party yesterday came a few days late. His birthday was Nov. 22 and he received special citations on that day from the state House of Representatives and the Office of Social Security.

Always active, according to family members, Bucciaglia still delights in a daily constitutional around the family yard followed by a few glasses of wine.

“I’m sure he can walk further than I could,” says son Anthony, “and he’s never been sick a day. He doesn’t know what the inside of a hospital looks like.”

A slight five feet tall, Bucciaglia mowed his own lawn until about 15 years ago. Fifteen years seems like a long time, but he was 85 then.

Al-Anon Helps the Families of Alcoholics

If you are concerned about someone in your family with a drinking problem, the Al-Anon program can help you.

Al-Anon is an established resource for the families of alcoholics. It provides important information and help for the family whether or not the alcoholic member seeks help or even recognizes his or her drinking problem.

Al-Anon is an outgrowth of Alcoholics Anonymous, with the same basic 12 step structure of AA and is a completely separate organization. The only requirement for Al-Anon membership is that the person either has been or is being affected by someone else’s drinking problem.

Alcoholism directly affects the individual who is its victim, but it is in every sense a family and social disease. The magnitude of the problem may be seen . . . in family tragedies, industrial costs, highway and other accidents, crime and delinquency, and countless other human problems.

Al-Anon offers a constructive approach to this family and social illness. It assists in the recovery of those persons already damaged, and helps prevent some of the tragedies that occur as a result of the destructive impact of alcoholism on the lives of those involved with someone else’s drinking problem.

Al-Anon publishes over 60 pamphlets on alcoholism and how families should treat this problem, a monthly publication, and a cartoon booklet.

Further information on Al-Anon may be obtained by contacting: Connecticut Al-Anon, Public Information, P.O. Box 888, New Haven, Conn. 06504. Tel: 787-0115.
