Faet-Finding
Plan Scored By '
Steel Executive
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-UP) In
land Steel company president,
Clarence B. Randall, said Thurs
day that President Truman's crea
tion of the steel fact-finding board
was an "industrial revolution"
which would lead to permanent
EOvernment wage fixing.
The attack on the President's I
action was the first made by an ,
Industry spokesman as the com- j
panies began presentation of their
case before the board. Randall is
from Chicago. i
Last week the CIO Steelwork
ers union argued before the board
for a 30-oents-an-hour package In-1
eluding wage, pension and Insur
ance benefits.
Randall, who spoke for his own 1
company but also was the key
noter for the entire Industry, not '
only rejected all the union's de
mands, but also denounced the
very process of a fact-finding
board Itself.
"When the President announced
the formation of this board he
was in fact announcing an Indus
trial revolution In America," Ran
dall asserted.
"By doing so, he has declared
himself as favoring a new social
order, and one so different from
that under which our magnificent
production record has been
achieved that unless the process
Is stopped, and stopped at once,
there will be no possibility of
turning back.
'Through this means, whether
he knew It or not, he has pro
claimed that wages shall be fixed
by the government.
'The fixing of profits comes
next, and then when incentive is
killed and production falls, the
final step of nationalization fol
lows.
The three-man board, which Is
headed by Prof. Carroll R.
Daugherty of Northwestern uni
versity, will make findings of
fact and recommendations In Its
report to the President, which Is
due Aug. 30, but these are not
binding.
Randall hinted that Philip Mur
ray, president, of the Steelwork
ers union and of the CIO, who Is
present at the hearing, persuaded
Mr. Truman to establish the fact
finding procedure.
The union maintains that Indus
try profits have been so high, and
materials costs have dropped so
sharply in recent months that the
30-cents-an-hour demand could be
paid easily without any price In
creases, Also on the board with Daugh
erty are David L. Cole, Paterson,
N. J. attorney, and Samuel I.
Rosenman, former New York
state supreme court Justice and
one-time adviser to President
Roosevelt

nant marshes, dangerous snags, obliterated trails ond
roads contrary to nature's handiwork which provides
shelter and food for fish and game.
The weekend I ust ahead, we hope everyone enjoys
their picnic, their outing, their fishing trip. We know you
