table
From AP and UPI
HIGILAND PARK, Mich.-The
United Auto Workers union and
Chrysler' Corp. returned to the
bargaining table yesterday to
negotiate a reduced contract for the
third time in 16 months.
The No. 3 automaker wants the
union to accept a wage freeze lasting
until September 1982. It would save
the company some $600 million as
part of a cost-cutting plan to win ap-
proval of another $400 million in
government guaranteed loans.
UAW President Douglas Fraser
described the first day's session of
the reopened negotiations as a
preliminary outline of union concer-
ns that did not delve into specific
contract items.
CHRYSLER ALSO WANTS its
suppliers to freeze prices and wants
banks to convert $572 million in out-
standing loans into preferred stock.
"Equality of sacrifice," is the key
to any acceptance of further con-
cessions by the union, Fraser said as
he arrived at Chrysler's headquar-
ters. Fraser is also a member of the
Chrysler board of directors.
For that reason, Fraser praised
Chrysler's decision Tuesday to hold
the line on car prices for as long as it
could even though General Motors
Corp. and .Ford Motor Co. are
raising their prices.
"THAT'S HELPFUL-:any in-
dication of some sharing of the
sacrifice is beneficial when we go to
our members," Fraser said.
Nearly 55,000 U.S. UAW workers
Snd 8,500 in Canada will have to con-
ider any contract revisions.
. Fraser made it clear the union is
willing to mqke additional
sacrifices, but indicated several
toughdays of bargaining lay ahead.
"Our union will not stand in the
way of a final resolution of this
problem," Fraser said. "We are not
going to drag our feet."'
Both sides planned to return to the
bargaining table early today to
begin earnest discussions of con-
tract terms, including several con-
cerns that Fraser said are par-
ticularly important to workers.

New Polish labor co

WARSAW, Poland (AP)-A new labor conflict
in Poland sharpened yesterday as militant
workers and farmers in a town near the Soviet
border refused to negotiate with a government
commission dispatched to hear their grievances.
In another development, the government and
the nationwide independent union Solidarity ap-
peared headed for a showdown over the issue of
free Saturdays, agreed to by both sides during
widespread labor unrest last summer.
A SPOKESMAN FOR the workers and far-
mers in the town of Ustrzyki Dolne, about 10
miles from the Soviet border, said they rejected

the commission as not being authorized to sign
an agreement.
The commission arrived in Ustrzyki Dolne on
Tuesday after workers in 17 nearby factories
stopped work for an hour to support some 70
farmers and workers occupying an ad-
ministrative building in the town since Dec. 29.
The spokesman, Jan Wolinski, said the talks
would be "nonexistent" until the government
provided "a competent commission equipped
with powers" to negotiate response to a list of 14
demands. He said these included government in-
vestigation of local corruption, and an end to

iflict grows
alleged local "repression" of members of
Solidarity, Poland's biggest independent trade
union.
SOLIDARITY leader Lech Walesa warned the
union's ruling presidium in Gdansk yesterday
not to get too involved in local disputes. It was
not clear if he was referring specifically to the
Ustryzki Dolne protest.
In Gdansk, Walesa told union delegates from
38 regions they were concentrating too much on
"unimportant details" instead of on reforming
the censorship law or drafting, legislation on
trade unions.

eper
eWalesahas called for a moratorium on all.
strikes until Jan. 15 to give the government time
to implement all concessions agreed in the Aug.
31 pact that ended months of widespread strikes
last summer. The agreement authorized
creation of independent trade unions, the first in
communist Poland and the Soviet bloc.
In Warsaw, the Deputy Premier Henryk Kiesel
announced the government had halted or drop-
ped from its plans 49 major investment projects
worth $1.5 billion in an effort to save money. Part
of the money saved will be used for improving
health services, education, and culture, he said.
