PITTSBURGH The steel industry moved toward a near midnight strike as negotiators kept final peace talks secret. CIO president David J. McDonald and U S Steel principal bargainer John A. Stephens discussed a new offer. McDonald rejected a 1 cent per hour wage rise for about 600000 workers. Major mills began shutting down well before the strike deadline as furnaces cooled and metal drained. Abel, union secretary treasurer, offered cautious remarks and expected a late settlement, though no concrete plan was in place.
