Cards Urge Sponsors To Drop WBT Support (Continued from Page 1) ing companies without indicating any specific officials, contained a form text signed by various persons at different addresses. There was no reference to any union or labor official on the cards. The text follows: "It is my understanding the management of radio station WBT has unjustly discharged ten engineers for union activity. Such action is inexcusable. The Union states they are agreeable to letting an impartial arbitrator decide whether the company's action was justified, but WBT refuses to arbitrate. I am sure that you agree with me that no respectable company would take such an attitude towards its employees. As one who uses your product I request that you discontinue your support of the Jefferson Standard Broadcasting Company by refusing to advertise over its facilities. Thank you" One advertiser over the station, Griffin Manufacturing Co. of Brooklyn, N. Y., disclosed that it received between 60 and 75 of the cards throughout last week.
