Steel Men
Demanding
Pay Boost
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Nov. 16—
(.fi—Philip Murray packaged up a
' batch of demands on the steel in
dustry today, including a "substan
tial wage increase."
Murray got endorsement from the
CIO Steelworkers Union’s 170-man
wage-policy committee yesterday for
a 22-point set of demands on the
industry.
The union expects negotiations to
start Nov. 27.
Murray's demands were so encom
passing that it amounted to giving
him a free ticket to negotiate what
he wants with the steel industry.
As head of both the CIO and its
million-member steel union, Murray
started out on a course supposed
to get benefits in steel and at the
same time set new standards for
other CIO unions.
Besides asking for a "substantial
wage increase," Murray specific
ally demanded an industry-wide
union shop, productivity bonus,
severance pay, improved vacations,
premium pay for week-end work
ing hours, and a guaranteed an
nual wage.
Murray told newsmen it has been
four years since a complete new
steel contract was negotiated. Since
then the contract, expiring next
Jan. 1, was simply amended from
time to time.
The average hourly pay in the
steel industry is estimated at $1.92.
President Benjamin F. Fairless
of the United States Steel Corp.
said that collective bargaining
probably will fail to bring agree
ment on the union's wage de
mands. t
Fairless told a realtors’ meeting
in Cincinnati that the question of
a pay increase for the steelworkers
and its size ‘will apparently have
to be decided finally in Washing
ton.”
“I believe,” he said, “that any
further increases in steel wages at
this time will only result in an in
1 crease in the cost of living . . . and
that it will contribute definitely to
the inflationary spiral . . .
Fairless indicated that a steel
price boost would follow any wage
increase.
