Transit Union
Ends Wa|kout

MILWAUKEE,. April 81 R.-
An eight-day strike of transit
workers who wanted more pay
ended at 4 am. today as opera
tors returned to work under the
terms of a contract they once
rejected by a three-vote margin.
The walkout began at 4 am.
Friday. April 10, and tied up
the countrywide operations Of
the Transport Co. that carried
100000 passengers daily.
The 1870 operators and $50
maintenance men members of
Division 998 of the Amalgamated
Street, Electric Railway and Mo-
tor Coach Operators won nothing
by the strike that cost them an
estimated $3.50, 900 in wages. The
figure was furnished by a COM
pany spokesman who said the
firm lost 100000 in gross reve-
nueS.
Contract Approved
Issues in the dispute were set
tied yesterday when the union
membership voted 1898 to 1858
to approve a two-year contract
providing for 16-cent-per-hour
pay increases, spread over the
period, and improved vacation,
pension and sick benefits. The
fringe benefits were valued at
6 cents per hour.
1t was the same contract re-
Jected by a 969 to 966 vote on
April IL after it had been ap-
proved by the company and
union bargaining teams.
Wages to Rise
Under terms of the pact op-
orators pay will advance to
$2.16 per hour. The scale for
maintenance men will range be-
tween $l.97 and $2.45 per hour.
The Decent settlement for
mula was advanced in negotia-
ions and accepted by the COM
pany. In rejecting it on the first
vote, Charles L. Brehm-local
union president-said 1--WE want
more money"
After announcing the results
OF yesterdays vote he stated,
