Negotiations between AFL Teamsters and the California Trucking Association resumed in Los Angeles as six auto truckaway firms reached new wage terms. The pact boosts hourly pay by 10 cents now with eight cents hiking each of the next two years, enabling Chrysler and Studebaker to reopen plants. The move follows a broader union vote against a 24 cent three year CTA offer and may influence federal talks led by Conciliation Commissioner John Fenton. The strike has disrupted about 30,000 Teamsters and related industry workers in the Western states.
