Copper Peace Talks Continue Despite Truman's TH Action
Washington August 31 AP Efforts to end the copper wage dispute pressed on despite President Truman issuing an executive order to activate Taft Hartley machinery for a first strike in 20 months. A three man board of inquiry was named to report by next Tuesday. Face to face talks between Kennecott Copper Co unions and workers in Salt Lake City were set as cost figures arrived. Settlements likely around 16 cents per hour plus fringe benefits, with Kennecott workers averaging $1.54 and a 10 cent raise last year. If Kennecott settles, other major copper firms and 50,000 Mine Mill and Smelter Workers Union members would push for quick returns. The AFWL fears union approvals and cross-picket dynamics. About 100,000 copper lead and zinc workers idle. tungsten production also down. The inquiry board includes Ralph Seward, Joseph L. Miller, and Allan Dash Jr.

The panel called for a new senate committee to probe Washington crime ties and noted a rise in teen drug addiction. It also urged wire tapping and criticized Warren for refusing to testify and for gambling networks allegedly run with high office links.
