Washington AP The head of the Steelworkers Union says the key issue in the 91 day steel strike is whether companies will break the union but the union will not be beaten. Union leader David J. McDonald told the fact finding board under Taft-Hartley law that the basic issue remains despite a possible court injunction. He warned the strike would likely resume around New Year’s as companies demand unconditional surrender, while board chairman Georg W. Taylor mediates a settlement to avoid injunctions.
