Hopes For Early End To Steel Strike Revived
Washington reports a breakthrough in the steel wage deadlock as Pittsburgh Steel Co. agrees with CIO United Steelworkers on a contract for 10,500 workers in four cities. The accord follows Wage Stabilization Board recommendations and could set a pattern for others. Ford assembly lines nationwide will pause next Monday due to the shortage, affecting 27,000 workers with potential broader shutdowns. Ward's Automotive Journal warns nearly 700,000 auto workers face 3 to 5 week layoffs. President Truman resists invoking the Taft Hartley act now, with no 80 day injunction planned at this time.
