 Shoe Hardware t0 Demand lSH Cents
 An Hour Increase

The negotiating committee rep- recenting employees of the Shoe Hardware Company Division of the United states Rubber Company was ready to demand a wage increase of isK cents on hour at Q man. agement-union conference arranged for this afternoon by .. g, Con- ciliator william Truax,
 "The wage question was not supposed to come up today" said Ovide Garceau, international rep- resentative for the O. I. O. Mine, Mill & Smelter Workers Union, "but in view of the leh cents raise granted by the parent company, we have no choice but to bring 1t up"
 0. I. O.-organized employees of Shoe Hardware will hear a report on the progress of contract nego- tiations at Q meeting tonight,
 The highest offer given by Shoe Hardware, said MT. Garceau, calls for an increase of 10 cents an hour In contrast, he said, the parent company had earlier offered Q boost of I2 cents on hour, and Saturday agreed to raise 1t to 1Sh cents. The raise will benefit more than 5000 workers in Naugatuck plants of the company, with l2 cents of the raise retroactive to Nov. 5, ls46.
 Harry Kniesche, general manager of Shoe Hardware, said the gen. eral rubber industry agreement would not affect the local plant, since 1t is metal working con- cern.
 MT. Garceau claims Shoe Hard- ware should get the same increase, since 1t is an important unit of the parent company and produces essential parts for rubber footwear and other articles sold by the conn pany,
 Tn contract negotiations ct the U. s. Time Corporation, the next conference will be held Wednesday morning. Commissioner Truax is also taking part in these meetings.
