Drew Pearson outlines a split in the Eisenhower administration and steel industry over the protracted steel strike. Vice President Richard Nixon and Labor Secretary James Mitchell move to influence talks, meeting at the White House after Kaiser executives brief Nixon on industry positions. A tense session follows with Eisenhower, leading to a first offer of seven cents more fringe benefits and seven cents wage rise, which the union rejects due to a first year wage cut.
