New York leaders of the United Steelworkers of America can call a nationwide steel strike if no new contract is reached by June 30. A 170 member wage policy committee authorized the strike, warning time is short for averting a walkout of 650,000 workers in plants supplying nine tenths of U.S. steel. The industry rejected a one year contract with wage increases and fringe benefits. Negotiations begin today with Inland and Youngstown, two of eight major firms. President David J. McDonald charged the Big Three rate their offer as 65 cents per hour in year five, while the union says it is 28.2 cents.
