Kaiser Accepts Truman Proposal
Reported acceptance by Kaiser Steel President Benjamin F. Fairless of Truman’s wage proposal follows an hour after a noon deadline. He warned a 18 1/2 cent an hour wage rise could cause financial hardship for smaller steel firms and many fabricators. Truman said a steel strike would ripple through the economy, stalling reconversion and hurting major industries. No immediate White House plan to seize the industry was discussed, with a fact finding panel expected to begin hearings next week.
