Token picketing was ordered by. union, whose contract with the company expired at midnight last night, and pickets began to stalk the dark approaches to company buildings -on a 24-hour basis. A company spokesman said the strike, called by the union after contract negotiations broke down Tuesday in connection with wage increases and pther adjustments in working conditions and benefits, would; delay shipments and manufacture of millions of dollars worth of U.S. defenses orders.

1 I I Picketing in force wa expected to be observed early Monday morning after the weekend. Actually, no money has been lost yet in wages, inasmuch as Saturday is traditionally a no-worx day. 1 The walkout does not involve 25 members of IAM local 1215 who work in the tool room. Their contract does not expire until July 8, and negotiations with Local 2045 did not cover the tool room workers agreement. Herman Nelson has been filling an estimated $10 million in orders placed for the most part by the Air Force for aircraft engine heaters.

1 Stage Set. Tuesday The stage for the strike was set- Tuesday when the company offered union negotiators a 2-year contract, with a 10-cent-an-hour wage boost the first year and 7 cents during the second year. That; offer represented a 2-cent advance from the firms earlier position at the outset of bargaining in May. But the union demanded 15 cents across the board plus other money adjustments for incentive: workers on daywork and higher pay for day worktrs on a 1-year pact. Neither side budged as the deadline approached, nor would the company or union comment today on possibility of patching differences before Monday.

I Each struck a cat and mouse pose, waiting for the other to make the first move at reconciliation. Union members in two meetings at the IAM headquarters; in Rock Island yesterday afternoon and last night voted more than 4 to 1 to strike, said Carroll Wright, IAM business ThJ vote was by secret ballot, he said.
