Goodrich Co. but continued contract negotiations with the firm. The walkout — ordered by the union Sunday evening — was first felt in Akron where 13,000 of the 30,000 involved are employed. Three other plants were struck quickly. Affected by the strike order were nine of the company’s 30 plants— those engaged in processing rub- ber. Goodrich also has chemical and aircraft plants covered by oth- er unions. Negotiations have been going on 10 weeks. Goodrich has offered 10 - cent hourly pay increases, the same as were granted earlier by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., U. S. Rubber Co., General Tire & Rubber Co. and Sieberling Rubber Co. ‘The union says the average Good- rich pay now is about $1.80 an hour. In dispute are fringe issues fn the Goodrich pact. The union said the fringe issues involve holiday pay, grievance procedure, report- ing for work, vacations and other matters, A union publication here claimed the compeny had offered the 10-cent hike only “if we agree to the impossible contract terms dictated by the company.” L. S. Buckmaster, URW presi- dent, declared the wage increase offer “was tied into contract pro- posals which are not comparable to other agreements in existence with most other rubber com- panies.” A spokesman for the firm said it was not true that it had pro- posed “contract provisions which are less liberal than those in our eid contract.” Besides the plants here, the | strike was ordered for factories at Cadillac, Mich.; Tuscaloosa, Ala.; Miami, Okla.;: Clarksville, Tenn.; Marion, O.; Riverside, N.
