tonight, four hours after settle
ment of the 24-day strike of 700
operating employees.
The strike was settled on the
recommendation of a Presidential

members of two railroad brother
hoods receive an 49, cents an hour
wage increase, 16 cents of it retro

retroactive to May %.
Fifty maintenance workers, who

the settlement.
The question of rehiring these
