Steel Workers Hit Steel Mills With Monday Strike
United States steel workers threaten a 12:01 a.m. Monday walkout after failed mediation.

Philip Murray accepts the proposal, but Benjamin Fairless argues the rise is excessive. White House and CIO officials coordinate while discussions resume on price ceilings and industry stability.
