"It was news to me," Daniel G. Mulvihill, president of the University employees' union, said last night when he heard of the reported move among the union members to oust him. the movement was allegedly begun by a group of Business School maids who were dissatisfied with the union chief.
Mulvihill was confident about the union election next month. He said that out of the 87 votes in the Business School he expects to get most of them.
When told of the possibility of Daniel Gannon, now assistant superintendent of Winthrop House, opposing him for the office, Mulvihill declared, "he's running for vice-presidents that's all I know."
The maids claimed that their union leader wasn't "doing a good job."
"The only time we need him," said one, "is when we're in trouble with the boys--to stick up for us."
In the twelve years I've been here," replied Mulvihill, "the maids salaries have risen from 41 to 97 cents per hour. Since last year they've gotten a 12 cent wage boost. Why, when I first came here they were working every day but Christmas." The maids now work a five day week.
