PAGE 16, THE TlMES-REPOltTER, SATURDAY, JUNE 1,1088 Poor Drive Plan Has New'Chiefs' By MALCOLM BARR Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The emergence of new leaders in the Poor People's Campaign has been accompanied by statements that the demonstrators will accelerate their protests in the halls of Congress and government buildings. "We are shifting gears' and making changes," said the Rev. Andrew Young, executive vice president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which organized Resurrection Ciiy, the shantytown encampment near the Lincoln Memorial. "It Is lime the main focus of action should shift from Resurrection City to Washington, D.C. to Congress and the govern mcnt agencies," Friday.

Young said In the absence of SCLC Presi- deirt Ralph David Abernathy, ou! of town for the day, Young said Hosea Williams would now spearhead demonstrations. Two new figures who led a demonstration Friday at the Department of Health, Education and Welfare were J. T. Johnson and Leon Hall. Like Williams, they are laymen.

Previously the prominent fipres in the campaign were clergymen. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who led some demonstrations in the last two weeks, was relieved as "city manager" of Resurrection City. No replacement was 1 announced. Young said Jackson will recruit new demonstrators in large Northern and Southern cities who would move into the encampment if Congress tried to oust the 2,000 or so now living there.

The eventual goal is to have 3,000 persons encamped in the A-frame huts. "In case those crazy folk in 'ongress try to run us out, we want to make sure we have other, 3,000 people ready to come in," Young said. About 500 demonstrators marched on the Department of Health, Education and Welfare Friday. They threatened a sit-in unless Secretary Wilbur Cohen lersonaily answered their demands. Cohen's eventual appearance drew cheers, and the demon- Orators listened while he spoke and handed a 35-page document to Williams which he said was a government answer to an "economic bill of rights" recently demanded by the Rev.

Mr. Abernathy. Cohen said Abernathy lad made some good points in demands for improved government programs for the needy. Friday clear weather helped dry up the ankle-deep mud in Resurrection City. The campers resumed build- Ing the plywood shanties for the first time since heavy rain turned the campsite into a quagmire a week ago.

Aluminum, Steel Unions Agree; May Set Pattern By TOM CRANE Associated Press Writer NEW YORK (AP) The giant Aluminum Co. of America and the United Steelworkers of America have reached ment and signed contract which could set a pattern for the aluminum industry. Other unions and major producers holding separate talks were unable to reach similar settlements before the midnight Friday deadline, however, and there were scattered walkouts today although some talks continued. The other unions, the United Auto Workers and the Aluminum Workers international Union, set up picket lines at some Alcoa and Reynolds Metals Co. plants in several states.

A Steelworkers spokesman said the new three-year Alcoa pact provided an average wage increase of 55.9 cents an hour plus improved pensions, hospital insurance and unemployment benefits and a new $30-3' week vacation bonus. Shortly after the agreement was announced, Alcoa said it was increasing its prices effective today to meet higher labor, service and material costs. Alcoa said unalloyed primary aluminum ingot would go up one cent per pound to 26 cents and the price of most fabricated products would be increased by four per cent. M. C.

Weston chairman of the Steelworker's Aluminum Industry Council, described the pact as a "pattern-setter." He said he considered the settlement "one of the top benefit agreements in the country. This Is the first time this has been done this year without a strike." The Steelworkers represent half of the 60,000 employes of the five major aluminum producers and their contract has traditionally set the industry pattern. The Alcoa contract covers 11,000 workers at eight locations. The other major producers are Reynolds Metals the of center and struck the side 01 Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical the Ofmet Corp, and Olln Aluminum, a division of Olln Mathieson Corp, All held separate talks with the unions. Kaiser and the Steelworkers agreed just before the midnight deadline to an eight-hour contract extension that meant a continuation of work by 0,000 employes at 11 plants in seven states.

The Alcoa settlement had already been agreed to in general terms by the Steelworkers membership and needed only ratification by the union officers which they voted unanimously. The membership of the other Unions, however, will have to ratify any agreements. Current wages in the aluminum industry average from $3.09 to $3.28 an hour, with the total costs to the companies of wages and fringe benefits about $4.60 an hour per em- ploye. Alcoa said major provisions of the new contract include! -A general wage increase of 20 cents per hour the first year, 12-cents the second and 13 cents the third. first-year wages and added wage Increments be tween job classifications.

rise in pension benefits from $5 to $6.50 a month for each year of service as of the second contract year. The agreement also calls for an eighth annual paid holiday, provides a new $30 bonus for each week of vacation, a third year boost in supplementary un employment benefits equal to 70 per cent of base earnings for up to a year and "substantial" improvements in medical and insurance benefits, The aluminum talks are a prelude to the steel negotiations which open here Monday, Patrol Checks 6 Area State patrolmen investigatec 6 accidents within the past 48 hours, 2 of which occurred Me morial Day in Carroll County.

The toll early in the second half of the four-day weekend stood at A total of 488 traf- fie fatalities were counted during a recent nonholiday weekend of the same length. The National Safety Council estimated the highway toll between 6 p.m.

Wednesday and midnight Sunday could range between 626 and 725. A final count even at the low end of the range would surpass the record of 608 for a Memorial Day last year when the holiday also ran four days.

Hain dampened highway surfaces in a large part of the midcontinent from the southern Plains to the Great Lakes region.

Although Memorial Day generally is considered the first of the warm weather holidays, temperatures for the most part have remained so cool as to discourage outdoor activities in many Northern states.
