Terryville, June IA A signed agreement between the Horace Whittier Cooper Oven Company and the United Electric Workers Union has been reached following a hear ing in New York under the super vision of the national labor rela- tions board.
 The agreement gives the union collective bargaining rights, a min- imum wage for men and women, an opportunity for adjustments on poorly timed jobs, overtime pay, the recognition of shop steward system in the settlement of grievances, with retention of such rights in the old department in case of transfer to another department.
 Michael Petanovitch signed for the union, while Horace R. Whittier, president of the concern, signed for the company.
 The agreement is the result of a long series of negotiations carried on by the union and the management ever since the Cooper Oven Con- pany voted to affiliate with the C1O. Formerly they had been members of an independent union.
 Game Tonight
 A record crowd is expected to be in attendance tonight when the Cooper Oven Company and Andrew Terry Company softball teams meet at the East Main street grounds in a replay in the Litchfield County Industrial Softball League.
