The agreement was personally negotiated Friday by Philip Mur- ray, president of the Steelworkers. It provides a modified union shop and otherwise substantially follows 2commendations made weeks ago y the Wage Stabilization Boara in an effort to avoid a strike which now is in the 26th day.

Stephens, vice president of U. S. Steel who has been a chief industry negotiator during the past few months, said he had no com- ment on the agreement. Although no negotiations ar2 planned with U. S. Steel or other companies making up the indus- tr “Big Six,” one of Murray’s associates said he expected “‘mor+ companies to fall in line soon.” He d approximately 48,000 of the 50,000 men who struck June 2 ave now been covered in interim @greements which have signed since the strike began. Most of these are in smaller companies. The WSB recommended a union shop whereby all steelworkers must belong to Murray’s union. | [rr Steel's contract calls for a modified shop. A new em- | ploye must join the union but can withdraw between his 20th and 30th day of work. The WSB recommended settle- ment called for a 12%-cent hourly | | | pay increase, retroactive to last Jan. 1 when the contract expired, another 2% cents an hour July 1 and the same amount next Jan. 1. The recommendation, including fringe benefits, would amount to a 26-cent an hour package. The big steel companies have maintained the major stumbling block toward ending the strike is Murray's insistence on a union shop. Murray not only says this isn't so but declares other issues are involved. Meanwhile, the total of unem- ployment resulting from the strike continued to mount. In addition to he estimated 602,000 steelworkers remaining idle, another 208,048 workers in allied industries either are laid off or will be furloughed in the next few days. The costly strike struck its first big blow at auto production as Ford Motor Co. announced a series of mass shutdowns and layoffs within the next few days. It will close all its Ford assembly plants jand three of its four Lincoln- Mercury assembly plants at the close of work Monday.
