Steel Walkout Set for New Year as Murray Demands 15-Cent Hike
Pittsburgh December 17 CIO United Steelworkers President Murray set January 1 strike as 650000 basic steel workers demand wage gains of 15 cents an hour. He said U S Steel had not made a single counter proposal beyond fringe issues and urged quick talks. An emergency international convention was called for January 3, 1952, to consider government action. Murray warned a strike at midnight December 31 seemed unavoidable unless a settlement is reached. Negotiations resume tomorrow with company representatives present.
