New contracts, subject to union membership ratification, were reached with the Anaconda American Smelting Refining Co. and Phelps Dodge Corp.

A settlement was reached last week with the American Brass subsidiary of Anaconda. The four agreements cover approximately 25,000 workers. They are effective July Negotiations are continuing in Sale Lake City with Kennecott Copper the4 fourth major firm. Although there are variances in the individual agreements, they provide for a package increase estimated by. the union at 35 cents an hour.

Prior to new agreements, a typical miner's scale for an eight-hour shift was $15.91. It was (15.48 for laborers in smelters. The Anaconda agreement calls for a. general wage increase of 10 cents an hour and 6 cents plus quarter-cent increments in 1957 and 1958. Increased pension benefits include $2.25 per for -each year of service up to a maximum of 35 years.

Officials see no likelihood, that Eisenhower will invoke the T-H Act before the expiration of the present steel contract at midnight June 30. The United Steelworkers Union's contract expires at that time, and the union sent notices to its locals Thursday to prepare for a strike on that date if no agreement is reached. The reason for avoiding any pre-strike application of the law Is that experience of the past has showed bargaining stops once disputants realize a strike is to be postponed for 80 days.

For interstate highways, the federal government will bear 90 per cent of the cost. For primary, secondary and urban roads, the former 50-50 matching funds system is retained.

Wyoming's share for primary roads is: million, $4.6 million, $4.8 million and $4.9 million for the four years. For secondary roads: $2.7 million, $3.2 million, $3.2 milr lion and $3.4 For urban roads: $200,000 each year.

Right now the official view is to let the industry and union keep at it a while longer on their own. But if there is not some change, Mediation Scvice Director Joseph F. Finnegan probably will enter the case, perhaps switching the negotiations from New York to Washington for a final showdown.

There is considerable speculation in Washington that the present impasse in the negotiations is not so bad as it appears. Industry leaders have said for months that a sizable steel price boost can be expected following their labor settlement. It is felt in some quarters the steel firms would be in a better position to pass on a price increase, and the union to "sell" a settlement to its members, if the agreement comes just in time to avoid a strike but after both sides have put up a good scrap.

Sherard said his office is receiving queries daily from other state highway departments Into operation of the device. He said principal reason for development of the counter" is study whether central control of traffic can be accomplished. He said if the first unit shows this to be feasible, the program will be put into operation.

"We're still in the developmental stage, though," Sherard said. He said if a system of the radio transmitter counters was set up the department could study flow of traffic and distribute extra patrolmen, to heavy volume areas. Sherard pointed out another advantage of the new counter is that the recording mechanism is inside. He said the mechanical counters often become "gummed up" in Wyoming's cold winter days of on extremely hot days. Thought is being given to possibility of radio controlled traffic By JOE" MC GOWAN JR.

CHEYENNE UF Traffic control and highway safety in Wyoming have taken the firs step into an era of electronics and radio controlled mechanisms. Deputy State Engineer Thurman' Sherard announced Friday the Wyoming Highway Dept. now has in operation a traffic counter which is a small high frequency radio transmitter. A magnetic field Is set up at one point in a highway in this instance on S. 30 west of Cheyenne by means of equipment buried under the asphalt surface.

Vehicles passing over break the field, opening the transmitter and sending a signal to an automatic recorder in the department's Cheyenne office. Thus, at any given time, intensity of traffic can be studied from the office. The recorder registers automatically the total of traffic each hour but can be set-to record the total at any, interval of time. The transmitter device was de- radio counters so that when traffic is heavy on a certain road, multi-sided signs would be turned by radio impulse to show a reduced speed limit. Other possibilities for radio controlled signs would be those giving warnings- of "fog," "icy road," and other hazardous road conditions.

Roberts said in developing the radio controlled traffic devices he had kept in mind their possible value in civil defense emergencies. He is state civil defense communications director. "In an emergency, traffic dispersion could be studied with the counters, appropriate signals could be turned into use and patrolmen rushed to jammed areas," he said. The Highway Dept. has not announced whether future employes wili have to be radio engineers as well as civil engineers, but it's true the department had to obtain Federal Communications Commission license for the counter transmitter.
