The decision was greeted as a victory by the United. Steelwork- ers union, whose president, David J. McDonald, told reporters: “What the union has been want- ing right along has been agreed to.” McDonald has argued that the industry’s top bargaining team, headed by R. Conrad Cooper, has lacked the power to make any, concessions and that talks with Cooper's group accordingly were hopeless. NOT OPTIMISTIC ee Reporters buttonholed Cooper midway in Monday's negotiating session—the first in 10 days— and asked him whether there was any hope of early settlement.
