Senator Morse
lilamcs Stool For
Strike Conti nuance
WASHINGTON. (/P) — .Senator
Morse <R.-Ore.> today blamed the
big steel companies for failure to
settle the industry-strangling steel
strike.
With negotiations deadlocked in
both the steel walkout and the
equally important coal strike—and
the nation’s industry showing the
effects—Morse called on steel pro
ducers to grant the 10-cent welfare
package proposed by President
Truimtn’s fact-finding board.
Alaska Railroad's
Car Repair Shop
Dedicated Friday
FAIRBANKS — Dignitaries
and throngs of Fairbanks resi
dents attended the dedication of
the new Alaskan railroad car re
pair shop Friday.
It's part of the $7,000,000 ter
minal yard project.
The railroad’s new 1.000-horse
power diesel engine clanged j
through the cheering crowd to
part the blue and white ribbon.
Th major steel companies have
expressed willingness to put a
pension-insurance plan into effect,
but only if the workers contribute
to it.
Federal mediation chief Cyrus
Ching. calling three more steel
firms into peace talks starting in
Washington, reported no “tangi
ble evidence” of progress toward
ending the strike.
Similar reports came from coal
talks, as negotiators put off fur
there discussions unti ltomorrow.
Met n while, government reports
showed output shrinking and lay
offs rising in the industries which
feed on coal and steel.
Morse, a member of the Senate
labor committee, told a reporter:
“United States Steel corporation
must be blamed with major re
sponsibility for the economic dam
age being done to the country.
“The American people should
tell Mr. Fairless .Benjamin F.
Fairless, president of U. S. SteeR
and other steel ipdustry leaders to
start placing the public interest
before their own blind stubborn
ness.”
The Republican Senator declar
ed it “most regrettable that the
steel companies do not put the
fact-finding board’s recommenda
tion into effect.”

however, that the glaciers will
continue to recede. Geologists
