Pilots Strike Accord Near End Of Pay Disputes
In Washington the OPA mediator Frank P. Douglass announced a near settlement of a wage dispute with TransWorld pilots. He said both sides have accepted terms to end the walkout as talks focus on price changes for soap and paint. Douglass expects an end to the strike once company and pilots’ union reach clarity on several points. The mediator noted soap price rises would reflect higher costs for fats and oils used in production and that paint price increases stem from prior removals of certain commodities from price control.
