(AP)—-Kaiser Steel Cor-
poration has withdrawn
from industry-wide nego-
tiation* in the 104-day-old
ateel strike and in seeking
a asperate agreement with the
United Steelworkers at a meet-
ing n o w an in Washington.
Both aides deny an industry
report that an agreement al-
ready has been reached. How-
ever, it appears Kaiser aad the
steelworkers have agreed in
principle and that the nagola-
tions will take up wording and
details. A Kaiser spokesman
say* he is optimistic about
chances for a settlement.
Steelworkers President Da-
vid McDonald bead* the union
negotiating team in Washing-
ton, and Joseph Zeno, presi-
dent of the steelworkers’ Kais-
er division, also is taking part
in the talks.
Meanwhile the Los Angelas
Examinar quotes an authorita-
tive source as saying that Kais-
er's offer to the union totals
10 cents an hour for this year.
The package reportedly in-
cludes 6.8 cents for medical
and hospital innurance hereto-
fore paid by the workers, 2
cents for an unemployment
fund and one cent more for
improved pensions.
While Kaiser decided to bar-
gain separately with the union
in Washington, talks between
steelworkers committees and
other individual steel firms be-
gan in Pittsburgh and else-
where. These meetings are
apart for a scheduled confer-
ence in Pittsburgh of top union
officiate and representatives of
the largest companies led by
U.S. Steel.
