It was appar ent that last week's air of opti mism had returned to tne talks. There was no comment from the publishers. A prepared statement, issued by State Mediator Walter Quil-lico and Federal Mediator Harry Caton after the 2V2- bour session, said: "Tentative agreement has been reached on all proposals and a wage offer has been given to the union.

Last night's meeting was the first since negotiations suddenly were suspended Saturday evening after snagging on what the union called a minor issue, involving working hours. The union issued an angry statement at that time and hopes for an early settlement fell.
