Burger, international organizer of the teamsters' union, said. The strikers will return to work this morning.

Burger reported the settlement came after the company agreed to recognize local 743 as bargaining agent for 3,500 employes of its 14 Chicago warehouses and granted $1 a week wage increases, retroactive to last Monday. Negotiations for additional increases for workers in higher classifications will be held next week between the company and union, Burger said. In the pact the company also stipulated it would withdraw a 1 million dollar damage suit filed against local 743 and other unions Monday in Superior court. Among those who brought about the settlement were Frank Brown, president of the Chicago teamsters' joint council; John O'Connor, coun-l cil organizer; Don Peters and Steve Jarolin, officials of local 743, and William E. Cowan, operating manager of Spiegel's, and his assistant, I Matthew Witzak.

Truman Warns of Veto The house and senate bills have Indicated a desire to strip OPA of its power to eliminate advocates of planned economy from the Washington picture. President Truman urged the senate banking committee April 16 to remove the "crippling" provisions of the house bill and warned he would be forced to veto the measure If it came to him with the restrictions imposed by the house. If the President vetoes the OPA legislation an attempt will be made to pass a resolution in congress extending price control in its present form, but senate leaders see little hope of success for such a move.
