Finley and his Kansas City Athletics' players have buried the hatchet and restored, at least temporarily, the serenity of baseball's player-owner relationship. The feud ended Tuesday after 20 hours of unprecedented meetings with Commissioner William D. Eckert when the Major League Player's Association dropped its unfair labor practices charges filed against the controversial Finley.

In return, Finley, owner of the A's, agreed not to interfere with the right of his players to air grievances in an orderly manner.

Fear of retaliation had led the A's to request the meeting with Eckert, who adjourned the gathering Monday with the avowed purpose of bringing peace before the situation reached the National Labor Relations Board.

The Players Association, represented by its director, attorney Marvin Miller, had accused Finley of threatening and coercing players In trying to get them to withdraw their complaints. The commissioners' statement, however, said Finley denied contemplating "future action against the players or any of them as a consequence of this dispute.
