Shippers Offer Raise,
BaIk al Welfare Plan
By the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The
New York Shipping Association
has offered the international
Longshoremen's Association Gin
dependent) an Scent hourly
wage increase retroactive to Oc-
tober /, 1853. but the employers
balk at a union demand to ex-
tend welfare fund retroactivity
back to the same period.
The association soutlined its
wage and welfare proposals yes
terday in a telegram to the lila.
Under the previous contract,
which expired September 80.
1858. the companies contributed
5 cents an hour for welfare
and increased their new contract
offer from that figure to cents.
However, the association said,
it voluntarily has been paying
the 7 cents since April /, when
the fund became depleted as a
result of the 29-day r-front
strike in March. Therefore, it
wants the welfare retroactivity
to start as of last April l, with
the new wage and welfare pack
age to become effective this Oc-
tober l.
The union had no comment
yesterday, but was scheduled to
meet today to discuss the offer.
