statement of the month long negotiations 'LOOKS looks he said progress has been made Tomorrow or the day after have an agreement without government I The fight to approve contracts was given to the local presi dents in answer to demands for more democracy in the union It was approved at the same union convention where President I Abel pushed through a pro posal for a rank and file strike vote If the offer turns out to be worth 78 the figures are always subject to different in terpretations it will hit the 6 per cent the union was demand ing' Steelworkers averaged $384 an hour in May when checks were swollen by overtime but normal earnings are closer to $370 The contract would directly affect about 450000 men in ba sic steel and another 100000 in closely allied industries But the negotiations involve only the 388000 men who work for the 11 largest steel compa nies The package then becomes the pattern for other companies More Bombings Hit Batesville BATESVILLE (UPI) plosives

Both Houses are to give their final to it later this week Postmaster General Marvin Watson had put into motion orders to begin cur tailing some postal services last Saturday but deferred i i the reductions when the Senate acted word that the industry had of fered a 20 cent hourly wage in crease immediately with raises of 12 and 13 cents to follow in the second and third year of the a total of 45 cents All workers not covered by in centive pay the biggest issue in some plants would get a 5 per cent bonus Pensions would be raised from $5 to $650 a month per year of service for men with 30 years service meaning they could get $195 a month instead of $150 EXTRA HOLIDAY An extra paid holiday for a total of eight was thrown in along with pay for widows whose husbands are killed on the job An extra seven cents would be added to the job clas sifications spread meaning that top classifications would get seven cents additional per hour by the time the three year con tract ended Provisions on other union de mands such as unemployment insurance severance and job training could not be learned But these contract improve ments could push the total pack age up another 5 or 10 cents to possibly 88 cents an hour One source who described the offer said the top union nego tiators were pleased except for the provision on incentive pay They want 10 per cent instead of 5 he said Before the figures were ban Your signature is good enough' for us We require any cash down payment even if you borrow the maximum of $500000 and take a full five years to repay it i And to make those necessary home repairs even easier we delay the first payment for up to two months i So you delay jfnnrral 3 rranflrninils for MRS AMBERT WHITE DONOVAN Ill Mrs Ebba White a native of the Dono van area
