Session On Strike Recessed After 109 Day Walkout
United Steelworkers President David J. McDonald called the recess another exercise of futility as 500,000 workers remain idle in the nation wide steel strike. Negotiators from both sides plan to return to Washington to pursue an inflationary wage increase while the Kaiser pact and company control over working rules remain key dispute points. The Taft Hartley injunction has been in play since October 21 with the strike spanning 109 days and the White House saying it has no plan to seize plants if the strike continues.
