Inland Steel Settlement Ends Strike Moot Question Who Won
Inland Steel and 12,500 workers in East Chicago saw the steel strike end to a degree as Governor M Clifford Townsend announced a settlement and demobilized the militia. The question of who won remained moot, with no signed agreement from the United States Steelworkers union or from the three other major producers. Gus Hall, Warren-Niles district CIO organizer, surrendered to police in Warren on a charge of illegal possession of explosives tied to disorders in the steel strike. Sheet & Tube refused to sign with the CIO and indicated no settlement yet.
