Steel Offer Looms as Murray Seeks Pact Breakthrough
Philip Murray of the United Steelworkers plans another meeting with industry officials to end the 41 day steel strike. Top executives from U S Steel Jones & Laughlin Bethlehem Steel and others attended secret talks seeking a new offer while progress remained unclear. About 23,000 iron ore miners quit in sympathy after Murray's wage demand and union shop stance. The six week strike idled about 1.2 million workers including 600,000 steelworkers and 600,000 allied industry employees, with auto production most affected. Ford cited steel shortage delaying rocket production.
