Steel Industry Sweetens Offer Eight Days Before Strike
Pittsburgh AP reports the steel industry raised its wage offer to United Steelworkers to above nine cents but well below the 13 cents sought by the union. With an August 31 interim pact near, the 33-member executive board faces a potential rejection at Wednesday meeting. Major figures include I W Abel and L W Abel. Simpkin of the Mediation Service called progress unproductive as wage talks continue ahead of a possible nationwide steel strike eight days from the deadline. The union demands 17.9 cents in wage and benefit increases for 450000 workers earning about 4.40 per hour. The Wage Policy Committee could be convened, or a mill shutdown may loom.
