The agreement, signed Satur-day by six of ten local unions whose contracts are now open, already has been ratified 'by the membership of the signing un-ions. Wages will be increased 10 cents per hour the first year and 6 cents each in the second and third years. The increment be-tween job grades also will be in-creased Vi cents per hour in each year. Numerous improvements were made in the company's medical-surgical-hospit- al plan, already one of the best in the country. Improvements included raising surgical 'benefits from a maxi-mum of $300 to $600, nearly doubling maternity benefits, rais ing hospital ward rates and in-creasing miscellaneous hospital charges from $220 to $300. The insurance program Was ' liberalized to give further pro-tection to employees. For off-th- e job accidents or illness the pres-ent maximum payment of $40 a week for 13 weeks was raised to $50 for 26 weeks. The company's group life insurance program was modified to provide cash payments to a totally and per-manently disabled employee of m per month lor each $l,ixiu oi insurance with the last $1,000 re-served for payment to the bene-ficiary. Although the present pension plan would not have expired un-til 1958, it was to in-clude an increase in the monthly payment from $1.75 per year of service with a maximum oi 30 years to $2.25 for each year of service up to a maximum of 35 years. The higher pension payment will be effective July 1, 1957, and also will cover former produc-tion employees already receiving pensions. The increase would provide a married man with maximum service a monthly pen-sion of $241.50 and a single em-ployee with maximum service $187.25 per month, including so-cial security in both cases. The agreement also includes hospitalization expenses for a re-tired employee and his wife with a lifetime maximum of $1,000 each.

Statement by L. F. Pelt, General Manager, Utah Copper Division, Kennecott Copper Corp. "Both union and management representatives have worked earnestly for long hours to reach an agreement without a work stoppage. I am particularly hap-py that it is a three-yea- r contract which will provide three years of industrial peace for operations at the mills and the mine. Contracts between the com-pany and two unions the Steel-work- ers and the Electrical Work-ers representing refinery em-ployees, will expire August 31. Negotiations with these two un-ions will get underway soon."

Sports Here and There by Al Ablctt Another All-St- ar game gone into the records and the National League won, making it six out of the last seven. Casey Stengel just can't seem to win one of these classics despite his success in world series play. In my book the power has definitely switch-ed to the National League. Out-side of the Yankees the Amer-ican League just doesn't have a power hitting team. Several have good hitters but I mean where four or five men in the line-u- p that can go for the long one. This game may not go down in history as one of the great all-st- ar games but the players that was supposed to do the things did them. Mays, Musial, Wil-liams and Mantle are supposed to hit the long ball and they did just that. McMillan is a great fielder and he showed it as did Boyer and Temple. Billy Pierce and Johnny Antonelli pitched great ball. All in all it was a good ball game and some 29,000 fans enjoyed it. A great many things happen-ing in the P.C.C., a probe going on that shows every school they have looked into has violated their purity code one way or an-other. The thing I can't under-stand is that they penalize the school and the boy that took the help but they say nothing about the people that are responsible for the violation. It has bben shown that some of the coaches paid out the money and I am sure that someone in authority knew about these booster clubs. But these people go untouched. Why not put the blame where it belongs and leave the kids alone. These same coaches are the first to holler if a baseball or football scout approaches one of their,, good prospects and at the same time they will be pay-ing the boy under the table which as far as ethics are con-cerned is much worse. Well I was right in assuming that the .Utah U Board of Re-gents would turn the West Jor-dan promoters down for the use of the stadium for a champion-ship fight. They give no reason because they have none. Our state set' up a fund and appoint-ed a board to get publicity for state. I think the sum was some $25,000 yet these men will turn down a chance for the state to reap a million dollars worth of publicity that they could get for free, to say nothing of the thous-ands that would be left in Utah from outsiders for an event of this kind. You figure it out, its beyond me. Talked to Sanky Dixon wtfio is in charge of tennis for the county recreation and he tells me he is going to have a good program for Bingham district. He along with some of Utah's better players will start giving lessons at Copperton and he will have some tournaments for all classes of players. So watch for the dates and this is all free. See you later. Al (RAflHIGIflD , Holy Rosary Church Rev. John J. Sullivan, pastor; Rev. David Goddard, assistant.
