Truman bids steel talks to avert wage clash Monday
President Truman told steel industry leaders the government will act to raise worker wages on Monday unless a wage and price settlement is reached with the union. He spoke in a nine minute White House session urging a solution to the long labor dispute that has involved seizures and court fights. He warned the industry to avoid jeopardizing world peace and Korea by delaying agreement, and pressed that price increases be justified to government officials. The session ended with plans to reconvene after 1:30 p.m. A new Supreme Court plea from steel companies followed the meeting.
