WORK CONTINES
AS REMODELING
BEGINS IN PLANT
United Steel Workers Union of-
ficials announced withdrawal of
the strike notice at Rockdale's
Alcoa plant Tuesday night.
A 72 - hour strike notice, posted
Friday and entended Sunday, was
withdrawn by union officials and
members of the union grievance
committee.
Joey Hughes, president of the
USW Local 4895, said the decision
to continue work was made by Un-
ion officials though 58.6 per cent
of the union members had voted
earlier this week to strike.
The decision to continue work
was made in the interest of the
Rockdale economy and the plant
itself," Hughes said.
R. R Sugg, manager of the Rock-
dale Works, said that management
was pleased with the decision
RENEW EFFORTS
"It is expected that we will all
turn in to get this plant back into
lop operating condition and again
make the Rockdale Works one oP
the best of Alcoa smelting plants
One potline was shut down Tues-
day to make some corrections in
production and smelting equipment
Sugg said.
“This action is the beginning of
an accelerated program of remod-
eling our equipment, and although
we have reduced our capacity by
