The latest dispute apparently was the reason Commissioner Bowie Kuhn has called a joint meeting of both leagues in Chi cago on Thursday. The new hassle arose after each side spent Tuesday rejecting proposals by the other, even though they agreed on pension finances. John Gaherin, negotiator for the owners, said agreement was reached on allocating $600,000 a year from the pension plan's huge surplus for retirement benefits in addition to the owner’s original offer of $490,000 for health care. Thus, the money issue became moot after that compromise, which saw the owners go up from $400,000 to $500,000 and the play ers come down from $600,000. The players had been seeking a 17 per cent increase in retire ment benefits, which would have come to more than $900,000. The owners currently contribute $5.4 million annually to the pension plan. Gaherin said the players turned down an offer to pay them if a game lost to the strike were made up on an open date or as part of a split admission doubleheader, but not if it were made part of a twin bill. The players’ rejection came as the owners turned down two more proposals by the players but went into still further con ferences to consider a slight modification of the second pro posal. The owners first turned down the players’ $600,000 proposal and next an offer to play “into September” while negotiations on salary for make-up games con tinued. The roadblock on the latter issue was the proviso that the matter go to arbitration if not settled by September. “Any time we’re faced with arbitration it influences our de cision,” Gaherin said. The players then modified their second plan and offered to give the owners full power to resched ule lost games any way they wanted, “insane as it may be,” according to Marvin Miller, ex ecutive director of the Major League Baseball Players Associ ation. Miller said the offer to play into September was made because 1 ^BETTER THAN aIskaggsNa DOLLAR ALBERTSONS DRUGS & FOODS GUARANTEES AT OUR MEAT CASES YOU'LL FIND SIGNS TELLING YOU HOWTO READ OUR FRESHNESS CODE FOR EXAMPLE THE DATE ON THE IAIEI 0E OUR PACKAGED MEATS INDI CATES THE DAY THIS PACKAGE iy WAS PROCESSED... 7 * Skaggs Albertson’s USIMCNDU QUHIIT MEATS IBONELESSI SHOULDER ROAST Mflm HOCKS 23 jmoKEP HICKORY SMOKED — FULLY COOKED BONELESS LIMIT RIGHTS RESERVED TENDA MADE — JUST HEAT & SERVE HAM BONELESS STEW LEAN BEEF CUBES CHICKEN FRIED STEAKS ..88' FISH STICKS 488' RED RIND L0NGH0RNk£.88' LINK SAUSAGE „88' cunoe OTTAU usdachoiceBIEF HOI SWIoo ol tAI\ R0UNDB0NtAR "' is oo DELICATESSEN-SNACK BAR ECKRICH LUNCHEON LOAFS — YOUR CHOICE HONEY LOAF .88' SAUSAGE SS * 88‘ AMERICAN CHEESE88* VIENNA SAUSAGE ^ 4.88' PEANUT BUTTER 88' COOKIES 2 , " , 88‘ VINE RIPE CANTALOPES DELICIOUS!! ft p ■(■Vb COLA GRAPEFRUIT =™“ 4s 88* CORN 8s 88' ORANGES 2s:88'i RUSSET POTATOES ix?88' SNOW PEA PODS 88' BANQUET FRUIT PIES 5 4:788* APPLESAUCE CAKE DONUTS 16-88' ALBERTOHS SHOESTRING CHERRY CREAM POTATOES PIES 20 1 4'i88* ONLY - 88* ONLY WELCH GRAPE SKAGGS ALBERTSONS JUICE WHITE BREAD 4ci88'' ONLY 4 t 88' m loaves | LET US BAKE YOUR NEXT PARTY OR DECORATED CAKE!

AT COLLEGE AVENUE “We’re hopeful there’ll be more logic and less emotion by then and tempers might be cooled.” But after the owners’ latest rejections, he said that chances of a quick settlement were “zero.” Meanwhile, the owners can celed a scheduled meeting here Wednesday morning and decided to meet Thursday in Chicago. Their rejections Tuesday night came following a conference call with John Gaherin, their nego tiator.
