I tcm of the United Press nnd Associated I’rcss) Strikes and strike threats involving roughly 1 million work ers Sunday gave the nation one of it biggest labor headaches since the record outbreak of 1946. Officials made no secret of the fact that the situation repre sents a grave threat to the defense drive.

Lewis and his 475,(XX) I’nited Mine workers.

Steel industry and CIO officials . . . ... intensified their efforts Sunday nignt in New York to forestall a crippling nationwide steel strike Wednesday, and Wage Stabilization Board Chairman Nathan P. Feinsinger said "gradual progress" has been made. Feinsinger met throughout the day and evening with the officials of the CIO United Steelworkers myon and the "Big Six" steel com panies. He brought them togdher for their first talks since Thursday, and pleaded with them to avert a strike that would idle -6,r>0,000 work ers, halt W> per cent of the nation's steel production, and cut deeply into the defense effort.
