Deadlocked; U. S.
Faces Steel Strike
PITTSBURGH, (TP)—'The nation
faces the threat of its first major
steel strike since 19*6.
U. S. Steel Corp., bellwether of
the industry, Wednesday said “no”
to demands of the CIO-United
Steelworkers and a fourth round
wage increase and for company
financed pension and insurance
programs.
The union immediately called a
July 13 meeting of its wage policy
committee to consider a possible
strike July 16.
Contract negotiations between
the steel union and the nation’s
No. 1 steel producer were recessed
indefinitely. The talks had just
resumed after a two-week recess.
Philip Murray, president of the
CTO and the steelworkers, told a
press conference:
“The <the steel corp.,* merely
say no to the union and they say
so with an air of complete final
ity. . . . The conferences are dead
locked. There is no hope as I see
it at present of a mutually satis
factory agreement being arrived
■
at on any of the issues.”
The steel corporation turned
down the wage increase. It told
the union its refusal to discuss
pensions could be arbitrated and
that any insurance program would
have to be paid for equally by
union and company.

The present contract has almost;
i a year to run. It was reopened I

Carrying Christmas to Kotzeaue
R aying Santa in the summer is one of
our most satisfying tasks.
This job is to transport the things that
will mean a Merry Christmas next December
to the people of the Bering Sea and Arctic
m
areas.
Of course that is only a small part of the
program. The ships we send North during
the summer carry all the basic supplies these
people require during the long winter ahead.
This includes not only the necessities of
life, but also the equipment and material
essential to the operation of their industries.
This is a big responsibility. We take it
seriously because we know our friends in
the North depend on us.
At the same time, we’re sentimental
enough to get a kick out of knowing that
we’re making possible a Happy Christmas
for the families of Kotzebue and other sec
tions of the far North.
