Industry Rumored To Have Offered Raise Of 20 Cents
White House steel strike talks resumed with no comment from management or the CIO union after five hours of negotions.

President Truman keeps a distance as the government studies new steps amid the six day walkout. The strike began after a Supreme Court ruling on seizure deemed unconstitutional. The industry average wage runs just under two dollars an hour with a 174 cent package once proposed by employers.
