Union Charges City With 'Confusing' Negotiations The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers today charged that city officials are attempting to break union negotiations "by telling half the story and by attempting to create confusion." Dallas Lore, business representative for Local 47, said that officers have done their best to ignore the situation and apparently is more interested in his own ideas than in the proven grievances of the city's electrical division." The "straw that broke the camel's back," Lore said, "was reading in the papers that the city reading in he papers that the city manager Keith Murdoch had scheduled our next negotiation meeting for Sept. 28. "We last met on Aug. 24. At the end of the meeting, Murdoch said we'd meet again in four weeks — Sept. 21 — and said to call and set it up." Lore said, "I've been trying to call and set it up but haven't been able to get a reply. Lore said that the city manager also told the City Council and the press that the "electrical workers have no real gripes over wages and working conditions." Ask Election Lore explained that the IBEW, an affiliate of the Orange County Central-Labor Council, has been seeking authorization for an election within the department. Union claims it represents more than 75 per cent of the electrical division employees. Anaheim's power system is publicly owned. "The other two factors we have sought to rectify are upgrading and standby." Murdoch said that upgrading is a part of on-the-job training. This is true. However," Lore explained, "upgrading also means more responsibility and more skill — and there have been cases where employees have been upgraded to foremen for as long as six months without an increase in pay." "We last met on Aug. 24. At the end of the meeting, Murdoch said we'd meet again in four weeks — Sept. 21 — and said to call and set it up," Lore said, "I've been trying to call and set it up but plained, "upgrading also means more responsibility and more skill — and there have been cases where employees have been upgraded to foremen for as long as six months without an increase in pay."

Unruly Crowd Protests At Tues. Annexation Hearing An unruly crowd of more than 200 area residents descended upon the Anaheim City Council last night, protesting the proposed annexation of the Southwest tract. Annexation would include a strip of land extending from the south city limits, between Brookhurst and Gilbert St., which nearly bisects the city. Council held over the hearing to the afternoon session on October 2 to allow time for additional protests after it was determined that property owners protesting represented less than 20 percent of the assessed valuation of the area. If protests representing more than 50 percent of the assessed valuation of the annexation parcel are filed before Oct. 2, the measure will be automatically killed, otherwise the council will set a date for the annexation election. Assessed valuation of property within the contested area is estimated at $1,392,600. Property owned by protestants is carried on county tax rolls as $230,770 as-sessed valuation. Petitions bearing 572 signatures of property owners within the district requesting the annexation have been filed with the city. In a second annexation the council moved for a public hearing on Nov. 7 to hear protests on the proposed Yorba annexation. Covering an area of 722.1 acres, the parcel extends easterly from the city limits to Peralta Hills, north and west past Imperial Highway, north of Orange thorpe and east of Orchard Drive. Seven of the property owners in the area, who own more than two thirds of the assessed valuation of land, have signed the petition.
