Convair,Uniion
Settle Strike
Slowing Atlas

SAN DIEGO, Calf, June II
(AP).-A dispute between Con-
Vair and the International As
eociation of MachinistS which
has crippled activities at United
States Atlas missile installa-
tionS was settled today, a joint
announcement said.
An agreement was hammered
out in negotiations lasting till
3 am. PDT (6 o'clock Wash
tngton time) to cover more than
$4,000 hourly employees in Cali
fornia and at sites where the
powerful Atlas interconti-
mental ballistic missile is
tested.
The terms were not disclosed,
pending action by union mem
bers in meetings to be set up
In the next 10 days.
The expired contract was re-
instated for that period.
Asked 14-Cent Raise
The Machinists struck IL
days ago, hitting first at Air
Force missile facilities for the
Atlas, the Nations only opera
tional long-range missile. The
union demanded a 14-cent
hourly raise plus fringe bene-
fits and retention of q cost-of-
living bonus. Present scales
average $2.72 an hour, plus
$1.25 an hour for off-site per-
sonnel.
The Convair strike was one
of several which have hit the
Nations missile and space in
dustry in the last few days.
The lam, an independent
union, has called most of the
walkouts. Another, by the
United Auto Workers against
Douglas Aircraft at Long
Beach, Calf, was shortlived.
A Convair spokesman said
he presumed picket lines would
be withdrawn promptly and
back -to-work movements would
begin today,
Name Plants Affected
Convair said the settlement
covers employees at the follow
ing locations:
San Diego, Palmdale and
Pomona, Calf; Holloman Air
Force Base, N. Mex; Vanden-
berg AFB, Calf. (the only base
ready to fire the Atlas ICBM
in combat, and all other Atlas
1CBM bases and test sites.
Three hundred lam members
ended a walkout yesterday at
Cape Canaveral, Fla, but as
late as last night pickets were
marching at Palmdale, Van
denberg AFB, the missile static
test site at Edwards AFB, Calf;
Warren AFB. Wyo., and Offutt
AFB, Nebr.
The lam also has a strike in
progress against Lockheed, an
other of the industry's giants.
The union is to present new
proposal today to Lockheed off,
cials. A strike marked by vio-
lence on picket lines is under
way at Lockheed's Sunnyvale
(Calif) plant, which produces
the Polaris missile designed for
firing from submarines.
