Martha said, "lie will still willing to continue on the course that had developed Sunday The next day. Tuesday.

Uilh sides realized the negotiations had reached a "now or nevr" stage. "Tuesday was the big concession day." Martha said "We started with the meaningful issues. It was an all -day process. At limes, the two sides were together, most of the lime they were apart. We got together jointly three or four times.

1 kept going back and forth. "It got to a point in mid-afternoon that it got lough there wasn't enough. Garvey needed more, but the owners were reluctant to give any more. It was money, the super seniority issue, the length of the season issue. The players wanted more "Finally.

Jack Donlan (chief negotiator for the owners) and Danny Rooney went back (to the owners). They came back to the St. Regis Hotel at 4 or 4:30 and went through the whole deal. The owners made further concessions. They weren't what Garvey wanted, but it was part of what they (the players) wanted.

"The owners did make concessions. They had already increased the wage scale, already increased the severance pay. The players wanted protection for the alternate representatives and their executive committee. That was the final compromise, when the owners gave them that. "Then, we had a deal." Surprisingly, Martha said, both sides then became very emotional and the distrust finally ended.

"At that point, a lot of things were talked about burying the hatchet. It became very emotional near the end there was a spirit of cooperation for the betterment of the sport," he said. Garvey and Gene Upshaw, president of the union, then went to the players to try to sell them on the proposal. This was just after 6 p.m., Martha said, and Garvey was getting ready to make, the announcement of the tentative agreement. "We knew he would have a tough time selling it.

because it didn't have a couple of things in it that he and Upshaw repeatedly said they would have to have in order to get a ratification." Martha said he was unable to find out what happened at the meeting MARTHA Contlnutd from First the I'lttsluirRh IViikuiiis N.ilion.il Ilix kt'V I.tMKut' tram. I If was brought into the negotiations last week after Uilh sides agreed the 1'JHl' season was quickly slipping awav "List Friday. I got call from C.irvev Danny (Kooney. the president of the I'utslmrgh Sleelers) and I had just talked things had kind of broken down. Things didn't look very good." Martha said "Things were so callous between the two sides.

There was hate actually building up. It was scary. "Saturday, I was on the phone lot It was me and Danny, me and (lurvey. back and forth. I was at the 1'enguins' hockey game, talking from my box.

and finally I had to come down to the office and talk. "All day Sunday 1 was on the phone, from about 7 or 8 in the morning until about 11 o'clock at night, except to eat. l-ale that night, 1 decided to go to New York, because we had made some progress. There was movement on both sides." This was the first sign that the impasse could be broken. Martha said.

Problems Arose Monday Hut he said that when negotiations renewed Monday, there were problems. The players wanted to play more games than the owners were offering. The players first wanted the entire season to be played, so they would receive full salaries even if it meant playing during cold weather months or playing two games a week. "They were even willing to play extra games another year during the contract." Martha said. "But the deal breaker for the owners was that NBC wouldn't move the Super Bowl (which will be played Jan.

30 in Pasadena)," Martha said. "The players wanted two games a week, but it was untenable it was a little dangerous." During the negotiations Monday. Martha said he was frustrated because "both sides were missing the big picture." "I tried to resolve that, and it didn't work, so we broke off. Garvey made another press statement that was degrogatory. I thought we were at another impasse." Martha said.

But while Garvey was talking a Garvey and I 'pshaw had with the players until early Wednesday morning liecause the Si Regis "was a zoo It was a circus Hut Martha knew there were problems because "I must have talked Garvey four times and 10 limes They couldn't sell it do the players' executive committee). They wanted more, but the owners wouldn't give them any extra games, or checks for one more game, which they wattled. "Then the antagonism slarted building up with the owners again. A tentative agreement was announced, and all of a sudden the players came back in for more. I had another problem on my hands.

"Garvey and Upshaw were relentless, trying to gel something more. 1 finally had to convince them to put it to a vote. "For a while, the thing was in chaos." Attorneys Were Balking Even the next Wednesday, when players started reporting back to their training camps, Martha was fearful because attorneys for both sides were having problems with the language of the agreement. "I thought things didn't look loo good," Martha said. After unsuccessfully trying to contact Garvey or Upshaw, Martha attended a 2 p.m.

owners' meeting in his role as the 49ers' general counsel. At that meeting, at the same time many NFL teams were practicing for the first time in weeks, Garvey called Martha and told him that "everything was on course." "And that was it." Martha said. Martha said "a lot of people" deserve credit for helping bring about an agreement, but he specifically mentioned Rooney and Garvey. "I couldn't have done what I have without Danny Rooney," Martha said. "Garvey has a militant image, but people don't realize he has to fight two sides." Why was Martha, whose major day-to-day role is running a pro hockey team, able to mediate a pro football settlement when a profess-sional mediator like Kagcl failed? "I knew Garvey.

I was trusted by Garvey. I knew Danny Rooney. I was trusted by Danny Rooney. It was trust. "First of all, a familiarity with the game helped a lot you had to understand the perspective, the points being made by the players.

I was a player. I understood."
