Westinghouse, Union
Seek Settlement of
Nationwide Walkout
Pittsburgh (U.R) Negotia
tors for Westinghouse Electric
Corp. and the CIO International
Union of Electrical Workers at
tempted today to settle a strike
by 44,000 workers which has
idled 30 company plants across
the nation since last Sunday mid
night. V-
Company and union represen
tatives agreed to take up wage,
time-study and length of con
tract disputes which have stale-
rmated the month-old negotia
tions. Federal Mediators John R.
Murray of Philadelphia and J. A.
Moran of Pittsburgh, who par
ticipated in sessions down to the
strike deadline, said they would
sit out today's meeting but would
study results.
"We'll let them work it out
themselves and then review the
progress, if any, later," Murray
said.
Prospects Dim
Prospects for an immediate
settlement appeared dim. The
chief negotiator, R. D. Blasier,
Westinghouse vice- president,
and James B. Carey, IUE inter
national president, indicated
their respective positions were
unchanged.
"Settlement can be reached if
the company offers proper wages
and ground rules for time-study
of day rate jobs . . . leading to
arbitration," Carey said.
However, Elasier announced
that Westinghouse had made its
"final proposal." He said the ma
jor obstacle was the union's re
fusal to accept a long-term con
tract. The union already has reject
ed the company offer of a five
year pact with annual pay in
creases totaling 2a Vfc . cents an
hour. The IUE 'hai demanded a
flat 15-cent hourlytbopst and a
short-ierm contract.' -"
Carey said he would stand by
the. demand for a flat increase
for the final year' of the present
contract, -which expires in 1956,
but would agree to a two-year
extension with immediate bar
gaining to determine terms of
the extension.

Railroads Given
Right To Retain
Freight Rate Hike
Washington (U.R) The Inter
state Commerce Commission to
day authorized the nation's rail
roads to continue indefinitely a
31,000,000,000 a year freight
rate increase which it granted
on a temporary basis in 1952.
The increase, ranging from 12
to 15 per cent on various types of
freight, were originally sched
uled to expire next Dec. 31.
The commission cancelled the
expiration date and set no new
time limit.
Extension Fought
The coal industry and other
shippers had fought extension of
the rate increases. And the Agri
culture Department asked the
ICC to let the higher rates ex
pire on schedule. It said the in
creases were one of the reasons
farmers are having a hard time.
The ICC held hearings earlier
this month on the railroads' plea
to continue the increases indef
initely. The 1952 increase boosted
rates on coal, grains, grain prod
ucts, sand, gravel, stone and
iron ore by 12 per cent and
