Annex Gets Final Requests of Maids

Final terms of a union contract for the Radcliffe maids went to the Annex administration yesterday for approval. Acceptance of the provisions will put an end to the seven-month-old struggle of the maids to organize.

Joe O'Donnell, who has replaced Joe McCarthy as union organizer for the Building Service Employees International (AFL), presented the contract to the college lawyer for consultation with President Jordan and business manager Richard W. Thorpe. Reply is expected within the week.

Next year Radcliffe will retire on pension all maids over 65 years of age, leaving approximately two full-time maids in each dormitory. The union contract would reduce their working week from 48 to 42 hours. Part time workers totalling over 20 hours per week would be allowed 30 days to come into the union shop.
