_Threc Big Finns ICrant Wage Boosts

(By The Associated Press)

CHICAGO, April 2'7 - General Electric, the Chrysler Corporation and the Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation Saturday granted their employees wage boosts ap- proximating 15 cents an hour, bringing to more than 800.000 the number of workers in three ma- jor United States industries who have reached agreements at that ﬁgure. p

The General Electric agreement for a lo-cent boost covered I25,- 0O0 employees in ~14 States. The Chrysler contract, similar to one signed by General Motors Tues- day. provided a lite-cent. increase plus six paid holidays and other changes and affects 70.000 pro- duction employees in-ﬂve States.

The agreement with Jones and Laugiilin, the country's fourth largest steel producer, covered 25,000 employees in the Pittsburgh area and provided for a 12'/.--cent boost. plus other benefits which made the total "more than 15 cents."

‘The wage pattern set by pre- vious increases in the electrical. automotive and steel industries.

~and followed in Saturday's set-

tlements, compared with a pre- dominant pattern of 18 and 181i- cent boosts granted last spring at the peak of the post-war strike wave.
