Stocks Edge Higher,
But Many Leaders
Meet Opposition
By Victor Eubonk
A.seeie,.d Pres. FiooneioI Writer

NEW YORK, May 13.-Stocks
continued to reach for new Is
month highs today. although many
market leaders encountered con-
siderable opposition.
Demand again was based mainly
on business optimism in the light
of heavy governmental spending
The Washington Moscow confusion
Chrysler strike and other labor
clouds provided a bearish influence
Offerings also were based on the
thought that a sizable technical
correction could eventuate.
Low-quoted utilities. and motors
accounted for much of the volume,
appearing in large blocks. Dealings
tapered at intervals. While declines
were plentiful, gains of fractions to
a point or so predominated near
the fourth hour.
At tops for the past year were
Central Railroad of New Jersey,
Santa Fe, Canadian Pacific, Colum-
bia Gas, Electric Power & Light,
international Telephone, Stude-
baker, Willys-Overland and Gen.
eral Electric.
Attracting bids were American
Power e. Light, Continental Mo-
tors, Goodrich, North American,
Kennecott, Anaconda, American
Smelling, Ovens Illinois, American
Woolen, Paramount Pictures
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific.
Most steel and automotive pivotals
did nothing.

|ConciIiators Resume
Phone Dispute Talks
with. Each Side Today

Federal conciliators were to re-
sumo separate talks here today with
Inegotiators for the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Co.'S long
lines division and the American
Telephone Workers Union, CIO, on
a wage dispute affecting long dis
tance operators.
Representatives Of District tele-
phone operators also were to meet
with Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. officials at 2 pm. in the
Washington Hotel to discuss negoti-
alton Of a contract to replace one
that expires soon.
A company spokesman said the
union has not presented concrete
demands for wage rate revisions.
Union spokesmen said the talks
thus far are exploratory.
A contract covering District tele-
phone crafts workers in the Utility
Division 36 of the Communications
Workers of America expired several
days ago. Company and union
officials said no date has been set
for the start of negotiations but
bargaining talks probably will begin
in the near future. These talks
would affect employees in the plant,
accounting and commercial depart
ments of the company.
The Nation wide negotiations
affecting long distance telephone
operators are being held at the
Labor Department. Government
conciliators explained that they
hope to obtain an agreement
whereby the union members will
stay on the job as long as negotia-
tions are in progress.
The union seeks q 80 per cent
wage increase and a shorter work
week. The earlier contract has ex-
pired. Negotiations had been under
way for some time in New York
before representatives OF, both sides
were requested to come here.
