Wage Pact 10 Avert
Jap Strike Threat

Government conciliators today
were making last-minute effort
to settle wage dispute between
the American Newspaper Guild
and the Associated Press which
has developed the threat of a
Nationwide strike.
Cyrus S. Ching, Federal medi-
alton chief, assigned three con-
ciliators to the case. Negotiations
were continuing in New York be-
tween the guild and AP manage
ment. The union represents about
$500 reporters, copy editors
photographers and others employed
in bureaus all over the country.
The editorial employees are now
balloting on whether to authorize
the guilds negotiating commit
tee, made up entirely Of AP stat
fers, to call a strike if the COM
mittee feels such action necessary
Voting is to be completed Thurs
day. and the guild would be free
to strike after midnight that day
when the present contract with
the wire service management ex-
pires.
Contract Talks Stalled.
The strike-threat arose as a
result Of stalled contract negoti-
ations between the union and
management. The guild served
notice of its contract demands
last June. Full-scale negotiations
were begun in September. Early
last month the contract was ex-
tended by mutual consent.
In the last few days the guild
committee rejected a wage Offer
which the AP said would cost
100000 year. 1t provided pay
increases of So a week for en-
ployes making less than $75, and
81 week for those making from
$75 to $110. There was no in
crease offered for those making
over $110 a week.
The AP offered a two-year con-
tract with a provision for reopen
ing on wages provided the cost OF
living in two consecutive months
rises about nine points on the
Governments price thermometer
There was no provision for tying
wages automatically to living
costs.
General Increase Sought.
A. P. management had proposed
earlier two-year extension o1
the old contract with pay elimi-
mated for the first days of sick
leave.
The guild is demanding a gen.
eral wage increase, a raise in pay
minimums, elimination of geo.
graphical differences in pay, i'm
proved pensions, disqualification
and sick leave benefits.
Union sources said there has
been no general wage increase or
the A. P. for three years. The
guild first negotiated with the wire
service on a Nationwide basis
last year after winning a Govern
ment-sponsored collective bar.
gaining election. The resultant
contract was for one-year dura.
ton and did not provide a genera,
raise in pay.
