Union Goodyear Agree On Raise
In Cleveland last night the United Rubber Workers and Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co reached a settlement two hours before a midnight strike deadline. Immediate across the board raises of 14 4 cents per hour for 24 000 Goodyear workers in 11 cities lift the average hourly wage to 2.54 4 dollars. The deal ends three weeks of wage bargaining in a reopener of a contract expiring April 15 1957 and could set a pattern for the rubber industry as URW continues talks with other companies while strike authority remains. Paul E Bowers led the URW team calling the agreement the best since 1946.
