Union President Peter Bommarito, who has dubbed the walkout "Carter's strike," was unavailable for comment yesterday at his headquarters in Akron, Ohio. But he said earlier that the ad- ministration was responsible for more than 40 per cent over three years. Such a settlement would have devastated the wage guidelines, said one source.

Many of Uniroyal's plants are non- union and will keep operating, in- cluding its largest tire plant in Ar- dmore, Okla., which produces 50 per cent of the firm's domestic radial tires.
