Resume Talk 5 Days
Before Pact Expires
Rx The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, June 90
Contract talks between the
United States Steel Corp. and
cIO United Steelworkers re-
sumed today-five days before
the current pact expires at
which time the union would be
free to call a strike.
Negotiators for the corpora
ton and the Steelworkers re-
sumed efforts to reach agree
ment on a 1854 pact after the
unions powerful 170-member
wage policy committee rejected
q company offer last Tuesday.
David j. Mcdonald, president
of the Steelworkers, and vice
president John A. Stephens, OF
United States Steel, headed the
Respective committees.
Resumption of the contract
talks raised speculation that the
company was ready to present
an improved offer to the union.
Mr.. Mcdonald said last Tuesday
that offers made until that time
were completely unsatisfac-
tory"
It was reliably reported that
the rejected offer included a
rs cent hourly increase and i'm
provements in pensions and in
surance.
Mr.. Mcdonald repeatedly told
his policymakers that the offer
amounted to less than f1ve-cent
package. The union has not said
publicly what it would consider
q satisfactory agreement.
Today's resumption is taken
as an indication that the corpo-
ration has hit upon proposals
which are an improvement over
those rejected by the wage pol
icy committee.
The union, which negotiates
contracts for 100000 basic steel
workers, has also opened con-
tract negotiations with other
basic producers. However, the
talks with United States Steel
are In the spotlight because other
Arms usually wait for United
States Steel to sign and then
follow that pattern.
Basic steelworkerS now are
earning an hourly average OF
between $2.14 and 1924.
