Oil company plants were ready to walk out.
The new strike, set for tomorrow, came as the Oil Workers International union (CIO) and 11 major producers were deadlocked in a Washington conciliation conference. A night meeting was held in a desperate effort to get the two sides together.
Failure of the talks .sponsored by the Department of Labor conciliation service, would be the signal that would touch off walkouts in most of the refineries still in operation. Strikes in 24 of the nation’s oil refineries during the past two weeks have deprived the nation already of a third of its gasoline supply.
Strikes throughout the nation had made idle more than 400.000. A few disputes were settled, but other new ones were flaring.
More than 1000 oil workers in Oklahoma left their jobs in Sinclair pipeline, production, and gasoline departments in Seminole and Maud. The Sinclair refinery at Sand Springs, and Phillips Co. Refineries at Kiefer and Enid They were the first oil strikes to hit Oklahoma.
A spokesman for OWIU Local 128 in Long Beach, Calif., said that “Only unforseen, last minute developments” could prevent tomorrow’s walkout of 1000 to 1200 workers at the Union Oil company’s Long Beach plant. The strike also would start simultaneously at the company's oleum refinery at Rodeo, Calif., where another 1100 workers are employed.
The union ultimatum was presented today at the end of com-pany-union negotiations over the workers’ demand for a 30 per cent pay increase. The OWIU had been seeking a national increase of 30 per cent but reduced its demands somewhat in Washington.
In Washington, OWIU President O. A. Knight said no progress had been made at the conciliation conference.

Jonas also stated that the College of Engineering felt fortunate in being able to obtain Scott's topflight band for the dance. He added that Scott’s 12 musicians are among the best in popular dance orchestras in the southland.
