Most of the main issues appeared to have been resolved as the deadline passed. Sources had said the bargainers were hoping to resolve the last remaining issue wages by midnight.

But the two sides continued to meet face-to-face with federal mediators early today. "We got the main thing we wanted, and now wages are left," a union source said. Agreement had been reached earlier yesterday on the two issues over which union sources said their rank-and-file would be willing to call an illegal strike keeping a no-layoff guarantee and cost-of-living allowances. In return, said union sources, who declined to be identified, postal workers had said they would take a three-year agreement, as management had wanted, rather than the two-year pact sought by the three unions negotiating jointly. The unions also agreed to accept continued mandatory overtime and other work-rule prerogatives of management.

In New York City and Chicago considered centers for union militants postal authorities said midnight shift employees reported for work. "Do not lose your cool," the American Postal Workers Union told its 299,000 members. Union vice president Dave Johnson, in a telephone hotline message, warned workers not to take "any precipitous actions until and unless specific instructions are received under my signature." The pattern of the talks resembled that of 1975, when little progress was made on main issues until the final evening. After management withdrew its attempt to cancel the layoff protection, an agreement was reached on wages as well.

The current talks had gone on for three months with little progress on major issues until the break-through at midday Thursday when the Postal Service said it would no longer push to remove the 25-word no-layoff clause from a new contract. The service had said the provision was prventing it from cutting its work force and holding down future postage rate increases. Negotiators for the postal workers, the Mail Handlers' Division of Laborers International and the letter carriers union said the phrase was crucial for the future job security of their workers. A fourth union was expected by sources close to the negotiations to agree to a settlement patterned after whatever contract the other unions accept. The Postal Service had prepared contingency plans that called for possible use of federal troops to substitute.

The unions had asked for a 26 percent pay increases over two years. Average wages now are $15,887. The service reportedly had been offering under the 5.5 percent annual raise President Carter has set as a limit for federal workers. 9 Flagpole Sitter eft Hanging because of logistic reasons and wanted to wait," said Norman Adie, owner of World Atlantic and Adie's Fantastic Facts and Feats, the exhibition hall.

After making some phone calls and sending a mailgram, Gerrald finally said they were having problems and postponed the event until July 4.
