The chief Issue In the Ford dis pute Is the union's demand for a guaranteed annual wage. But Reu ther said many other matters Jn sions, pension Improvements and" duration of the contract still were" unresolved. He said the contract was extend ed in keeping with the union policy "to do everything humanly possi ble to avoid a strike If we can arrive at a just and honorable set tlement tluit will give full equity to Ford workers."
