Union Leaders Head for Copper Strike Parley in Washington
Denver Aug. 28. Union leaders travel to Washington for a showdown with government officials to halt a nationwide copper strike. The International Union of Mine Mill and Smelter Workers rejects the Wage Stabilization Board back to work request and seeks a government formula for settlement. Kennecott Copper opposes the plan though unions favor a 20 percent hourly pay rise. John Clark leads the union while J P Caulfield says Kennecott Utah division can resume once talks begin. Copper shortages threaten the mineral's supply and sulfuric acid production. President Truman urges a return to work as national defense hangs on negotiations involving Kennecott Anaconda Phelps Dodge and Am smelting in Idaho panhandle subsidiaries.

The measure equips President Truman to sanction selective exchanges while blocking arms shipments, with House already backing the bill and a conference panel to reconcile Senate amendments. Truman had previously suspended the Kem amendment fearing harm to Western trade and slower access to essential goods.
