Cussed Out, Walked Out
LABOR
Hardly had General Electric and the International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers started bargaining in Manhattan last week for a new contract, when the loman G.E. delegation simply rose and stomped out. The reason was--as a G.E. flack discreetly put it--that I.U.E. President James B. Carey shouted "a twice-repeated command of obscenity" at Philip D. Moore, chief G.E. negotiator.
G.E. ought to be used to terrible-tempered Jim Carey's language by now. During the 1958 contract reopener, Carey kept the air blue, and G.E. negotiators walked out. Before the talks began this time, Carey confided to reporters: "People say I have a Napoleonic complex, but Napoleon was a softy compared to Carey."
