Steelworkers propose fact finding board to settle strikes
The Steelworkers Union urged the industry to form a neutral fact finding board headed by a Warren-appointed chief justice to hear all dispute issues. David J. McDonald named a three member panel to sift facts and issue non binding recommendations for a fair settlement. The move, aiming to avert harm to industry and the public, follows Eisenhower's refusal to appoint such a board.
