New 2-Year Contract
Granting Higher Pay
.Averts Dairy Strike

Accepted only three hours before
the old contract expired, a new
two-year contract giving wage in
cresses of 81 and s5 a week to
approximately 1,5O0 employees of
nine major dairies in the Wash
ington area went into effect today.
Members of Milk Drivers and
Dairy Employees Local 246, AFL,
had served notice of possible
strike if a settlement were not
reached. BY a vote Of 606 to 404 at
Turner's Arena last night, three
hours before the midnight dead
line, they accepted an industry
offer.
Federal Conciliator Thomas F.
Martin said the new contract gives
a 81 weekly raise to about 1000
plant hourly workers, similar
increase in the guaranteed income
of wholesale and retail routemen
and a IS weekly boost in retail
and wholesale route foremen.
Details Being Worked Out.
The negotiators were meeting
again today to wind up "a few de-
tails" of the settlement.
Herman Schulteis, manager Of
Chestnut Farms Chevy Chase
Dairy, said last week that a wage
increase might cause price in
crease to the consumer. He was not
available for comment today but
another dairy spokesman said he
doubted that the price would go up
as result of the new contract.
The new contract can be opened
for wage discussions after year.
The union had asked a 30 cents an
hour raise for hourly workers and
an additional two per cent COM
mission for wholesale and retail
drivers on collections over So, 500 and
50, 700 respectively.
Terms Agreed On.
The 81 increase accepted for l 900
plant hourly workers amounts to a
raised of about 81s cents an hour
Wholesale drivers have been getting
a base pay of S3l week and 2
per cent commission, and retail
drivers have received base pay of
s41 and per cent on collections.
The base pay now is increased 81
week. The minimum guarantee
for wholesale drivers was $60.25,
with $3.50 for retail route drivers.
Other provisions Of the new con-
tract include a $5-a-week increase
for about SO vacation relief drivers
and union shop instead Of the
previous closed shop.
Negotiations between the dairies
and the union began May 10. They
were held almost daily last week at
the Wardman Park Hotel and con-
tinued until shortly before the in
dustry offer was submitted to the
union membership last night.
