17 hours of continuous negotiation
between CIO-United Automobile
Workers and General Motors offi-
cials, UAW Pres. R. J. Thomas
muttered: "Considering everything,
I think we've got a pretty good
contract.”
Settled after a bitter 113-dny
strike, the pact did provide substan-
tial wage and other concessions to
tile union, though falling short of
UAW goals. Despite the long-drawn
bickering, the company granted
only 184 cents an hour Instead of
the 194 cents demanded, and the
average G. M. wage was set at from
$1 12 to (1.304 cents an hour, still
below the Ford and Chrysler pay
rates.
