PITTSBURGH (AP) Labor Secretary W.J. Usery met with negotiators into the pre-dawn hours today in an effort to halt a nationwide electrical workers' strike against Westinghouse Electric Corp. He said both sides had assured him of a good-faith effort to reach a speedy agreement. The session began at 10 a.m. Sunday, 10 hours after 22,000 members of the International Union of Electrical Workers (IUE) and 6,500 members of the United Electrical Workers union (UE) left their jobs.

After meeting for 25 straight hours, negotiators recessed the talks at midmorning today with no progress reported. There was no indication when talks would resume and no word from either side on what happened behind the closed doors. Union negotiators were attempting to match a recently approved General Electric Co. contract, which provides pay raises totaling about $1.10 per hour over three years and virtually unlimited cost-of-living protection. Westinghouse said its latest offer matches and in some ways exceeds the GE settlement, while the unions said the company has been "chiseling" through subtle changes.

Westinghouse employes now average $5.15 per hour. Meanwhile, the company announced plant-level agreements with local bargaining units at four locations. Members of the IUE and UE walked out after having worked one week under a contract extension. They joined about 15,000 members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) who had been on strike since an old contract expired July 11. While the full effects of the strike weren't felt during the weekend, a Westingouse spokesman said it involved more than half of the company's 165 manufacturing plants and service facilities.

Westinghouse had asked nonstriking employes to report for work as scheduled today. IN A second incident, this one on Sunday, a 15-year-old Paris High School student was stabbed in the right chest area with what police said was a pocketknife-type instrument. The youth was listed in good condition at St. Joseph's Hospital Monday morning, according to hospital administrators. Police said the stabbing incident was the result of a quarrel between two youths.

PARIS POLICE are also investigating the theft of several CB radio units stolen from vehicles over the weekend. Thefts reported include units stolen from John Redus, 320 Stone Peggy Risinger, I31-30th NE; James Barnes, Rt. Glen Gambill, 1770 Belmont; Don Marks, Irving; and Glenn Wehrmann of Bonham. TWO TEEN-AGED girls were arrested by Paris officers and fined $27.50 each for fighting in a downtown woman's dress shop over the weekend. Police said the two girls were arguing and then began fighting each other.
