2 The Newi-Rcyiew, Roscburg, Judges Decision Due Later Today In Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (AP) - A fed eral judge said tudny his derision is iniinincnt in a Taft-Hartley In junction case whereby the govern ment is Keeking to halt the i9-day steel strike. Judge Herbert P. Sorg said he will announce his de cision before the day is out. Judge Sorg made the statement to newsmen during a recess in court proceedings. His decision had been delayed by a three-hour conference among company and union officials over retroactive pay. Union attorneys told the judge that, if the men return to work under an injunction, any econom ic settlement made in the mean time should be retrouctivo fur the length of the back-to-work order. During the delay, steel compa ny counsel filed a legal brief with the court staling opposition to the union s retroactive pay request. The brief said: "If retroactivity should be or dered, the court would be settling in favor of the union one of the most important terms of collec tive bargaining. Appeal Could Otlay Work Even if an injunction is gran'ed an end of the strike could be de layed by an appeal. The rou.-t could but would not have to slay the injunction while an ap peal was acted upon. The government argued Tues day that lost steel production was threatening the nation's health and safety. The striking United Stcelworkcrs Union said the strike was creating hardships but was not endangering the national econ omy. Judge Sorg took the case under advisement after listening to ar guments by both sides for nearly three hours. President Eisenhow er ordered the Justice Depart ment to seek the injunction The Stcelworkcrs Union and 06 steel companies were named de fendants in the ease. The steel firms represent almost 90 per cent of the nation's steel production capacity. An injunction, if issued by Judge Sorg. would send the half million striking stcelworkcrs hack to the mills for an 80-day cooling oft pe riod. Meanwhile, the Industry and the union would bo under court order to try to negotiate a pcrmi'.nent settlement In the long and costly dispute.
