Steps Under Way To
End Copper Strike
San Francisco (U.R) The
International Union of Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers today
worked on details of a tenta
tive agreement to end a 40-day-old
strike against 12 American
Smelting and Refining Co. plants
but no back to work move was
in sight.
Maurice Travis, the union's
committee chairman, said a
"substantial agreement" was
reached last night.
Asked when work could be
expected to resume, Travis said,
"It will be a few days yet. We're
in no hurry."
Douglas H. Soutar, company
representative at the talks, said
the tentative settlement was
"some kind of agreement."
No details were released. Fi
nal agreement will be subject to
union ratification.
The union struck the com

others across the nation to back
demands for a 20-cent hourly
pay raise and fringe benefits.

Down Payments on
New Cars Unchanged
Detroit (U.R) Despite all
the talk about "crazy credit" in
the booming automobile market,
Americans buying cars on cred
it as a whole are making just
as big down payments as they
have done in the past 10 years,
a study of new car financing in
dicated today. O
The survey was made by Uni
versal C.I.T. Credit Corp. New
York, whose business is financ
ing automobiles. It claims to be
the largest independent automo
bile finance agency.
It reported it found that in the
10 years since the end of World
War II, the American public has
bought. $107,000,000,000 worth
of new cars on time. Of this
amount, 22 per cent was handled
through down payments and the
other 78 per cent financed.
