ruled by the yovorninont.
The settlement was worked out
by Vice President Richard M. Nixon
and Secretary ol Labr Janus p
Mitchell as a peacemaking team
that may presage their nomination
as the Republican choices for presi
dent and vice president respectively.
The agreement rails for a re
ported 40 cents an hour boost in
pay and benefits over a .10-month
period running to July 1, 19ii0.
Specific details were not an
nounced pending ratification tomor
row by union and industry groups.
However, it was clear that the
terms exceeded the bounds of what
the industry had said would be
noninHationary.
That seemed to foretell an in
crease in .steel prices, although the
industry wasn't saying for the time
being The magazine Steel said price
hikes will inevitably result.
The industry failed, too, to get the
leeway it wanted to streamline its
work force. Instead, the steelwork
ers union merely agreed to engage
in a joint study of the controversial
work rules problem.
The end of the eight-month long
dispute wipes out the threat of a
new i.teel strike later this month
when a Taft-Hartley injunction is
due to expire. This clears the
economic skies for the start of i'JtiO

Steel labor peace means, also,

Albert Camus
Dies In Crash
SENS. France i.pv Albert Camus,
set-ond youngest man ever to win
the Nobel Prize for Literature,
was killed Monday in a highway
irash. cutting short the brilliant
career of one of France's most
active men of letters. He was 4.
A Nobel laureate in 1937 and
brooding spokesman for man's
moral values in an age of con
fusion, Camus was distinguished
as a novelist, journalist and man
of the theater.
The news hit the Paris theatri
cal and literary world with tragic
suddenness. Personnel of the
Freiuh National Kadio interrupted
u week-long strike to broadcast a
eulogy.
After receiving the Nobel Prize,
Camus said: "Perhaps this is the
iime to write the book of my ex
peiience while I still have the vi
tal force to do it."
Married In 1940, he lived in an
apartment on Paris Left Dank
with his wife and twin son and
daughter.

K. Conrad Cooper, executive vice

the chief industry negotiator,
( ai ed on the union l cooperate to
iinpnnr industry efficiency and
to eliminate waste in order to
iianit.n.e "the extent to which
this settlement may inflate steel
production cost."
David .J. McDonald, the union's
president, wa.s jubilant. He said the
settlement means "peace, prosper
ity and lasting happness" for the
more than TMQ.m) steehvorkers. And
he said the union emerged "sound,
safe and secure."
Workers and their families in the
Pittsburgh and other steel mill aieas
reacted with shouts of joy and re
lief. While the settlement still must be
ratitied by industry grcups and th?
union's wage-policy committee to
morrow. Secretary Mitchell sa!d
there was "no question whatsoever"
the required okavs would be forth
coming. In the wind up drive, Nixon and
Mitchell made their basic recom
mendation on New Year's Eve.
There followed another flurry of
meetings which ended in a mara
thon. 22-hour session that started
Sunday and continued all last night.
Although the terms of the settle
ment were not announced, they
quickly became generally known
from various sources. According to
these sources they call for substan
tial insurance and other benefits up
to next July 1 when a seven-cent
wage boost would go into effect,
followed by another seven-cent "hike
on July 1, l!t;2.
The spread between various wage
rates would be increased by two
(entlis of a cent with the first pay
raise and by one-tenth of a cent
vith the second pay raise.
The agreement also reportedly
provides for substantial boosts in
insurance and pensions for workers.
In addition, the industry would take
over the entire cost of insurance.
This cost was shared previously
worker and employer.
Pay changes for future living cos
increases are provided, although to
a limited extent. The union wa.s un
derstood to have waived a four-cent
Hourly living cost increase it h ac
claimed due under now-expired eon
rie's.
The settlement also calls for a
labor-management study to deter
mine whether a method can be ar
rangedbefore the July 1, l'.)';2 ex
piration of the new agreement to
distribute the fruits of the industry
in pioliis and worker benefits. The
idea is. if at all possible, to avoid
a new Mcel-lubor battle in 12.
Nixon's rote in the settlement had
-bvious political advantages which
may be tempered somewhat if there
is an intlationary round of price increases.
