Contract talks between AT&T; and its striking workers went past a midnight deadline as both sides haggled over several remaining issues, spokeswomen for both sides said early today in Washington. Both sides appeared optimistic that the three-week nationwide walkout by 155,000 members of the Communications Workers of America would end this weekend.
