Administration eases 7 percent wage guideline amid union protests

The change aims to appease the large Teamsters union, but Frank Fitzsimmons says the revisions may not be enough. J Curtis Counts adds uncertainty about reaching a contract within the guideline.

Wage offers rise after rejections in coal miners and postal workers, while talks remain ceremonial awaiting March 31 expiry. Chicago rescinds 60 percent alderman pay hike amid administration pressure. Meany criticizes the wage guidelines as insufficient.

Space heaters blamed for two fires in Cedar Rapids
Space heaters were blamed for two Cedar Rapids fires this morning. At 9:42 a.m. a semitrailer owned by Jensen Construction Co. caught fire on 12th Street and G Avenue NE due to oil ignited near a space heater. Damage stayed in the trailer and its contents. Shortly after 10 a.m. a garage belonging to Walter Arnold at 1219 Third St. SW burned, with damage confined to the interior and contents and only a minor dent to a pickup in the garage. The cause was a space heater igniting gasoline. Also noted is the 1896 birth date of James Jimmy Doolittle.
