Washington studies new seizure plan for steel industry
Washington officials, aiming to end the crippling steel strike, studied a new seizure plan but hoped not to use it. A Pittsburgh wage policy meeting of the United Steelworkers could push a compromise on the union shop and a new contract before Monday. Philip Murray and his top aides remained firm against more concessions on the union shop. A White House conference discussed possible seizure under the selective service act with Dr. John R. Steelman and other officials. For every mile of telephone pole line in Canada there are more than 38 miles of wire.
