Despite loud bargaining noises, the two sides have come comfortably close to agreement on wages (the company's last offer was a 30? package increase over three years-to an average $3.40 an hour -which the union says is really 22?).

Last month the industry eased this demand to a proposal to submit the 2-B issue to a two-man panel (one member chosen by the industry, one by the union) with compulsory arbitration if the panel failed to reach agreement by mid-1960.
