STRIFE IN INDUSTRY IN U.S.A.
EFFORT TO AVOID STEEL STRIKE MEAT AND ELECTRICAL WORKERS STILL OUT Recd. 10.45 p.m. Washington, Jan. 17 Following the collapse of negotiations between the pi-esident of the United States Steel Corporation, Mr. Benjamin Fairless, and the C. 1.0. president, Mr. Murray, President Truman submitted an undisclosed proposal for settlement in the threatened steel strike. Messrs. Fairless and Murray promised to give Mr. Truman an answer by noon to-day, after conferring with their- respective organistions.
Meanwhile 886,000 workers have remained idle throughout the nation in the automotive, meat packing, and Western Union electrical strikes. The Westinghouse Electrical Company issued a statement that the strike is halting work on several ot the nation’s most vital military projects, including the atomic bomb components. Congress, spurred by the mounting wave of industrial strife, took the first steps toward the enactment of strike control laws. The House Labour Committee decided to complete action within four days on such legislation. The Senate received a motion to begin immediate consideration of Mr. Truman's proposal to establish factfinding boards to settle major industrial disputes.
