Helpful Services For All! et lines went up this morning around KennecoU Copper' Corp operations In Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada as the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers Undi and United Steel Workers struck the nation's biggest doiTiestic copper producer Company officials here said the strike amounted to a complete shutdown.

Picket lines were orderly and no incidents were reported. Three year contracts expired June 30 except for the USW whose agreements went out on July 31. Work had continued on a day-to-day extension of contracts. KennecoU employes abouLll.500 personsiri Its western operations in Utah 6.429 Nevada Arizona 1,000 1 and New Mexico Last year the division produced 318,732 tons of copper. Pay rates ranged from $15.53 a day for laborers to $24.78 Jor skilled workers.

KennecoU offered an 18-cent package which included a five-cent general hourly wage increase each year to the steelworkers plus some provisions to meet union demands for supplementary unem ployment compensation and elimi nation of geographical pay dif ferentials. Mine-Mill asked for a general wage increase of 15 cents an hour plus other demands in a package whose total cost was estimated at 45 cents. The USW, which represents abouf 2,300 employes, sought much the same as Mine-Mill' about 5 fjoo. Railroad brotherhoods represent about 950 men and about 1.880 are in craft unions, mainly the International Assn. of Machinists.

A conservative estimate of the daily payroll for the 11,500 workers is $200,000. At an average production of 1,000 tons of copper a day, KennecoU would be falling behind some $600,000 a day on gross sales. The last strike against KennecoU 's western division was in 1955 and it lasted 47 days.
