Workers On Strike as Steel Men Quit Jobs in Move for Higher Pay Big Plants in East Dark as 514,000 Support Lewis in Seeking New Increases; Negotiations In Coal Dispute Recessed; Violence iapr$ Off (By United Press) Almost 1,000,000 American workers were on Htrike today as steel workers joined John L. Lewis' miners in labor's fiKht for fourth-round benefits. . , The number of idle was expected to rise swiftly possibly to as much as 2,000,000 if the work stoppages in the two basic industries lasted long enouKh to cause shortages of fuel and materials in factories. - The total of 980,000 strikers included 514,000 steelworkers who quit their mills and fur-- naces at 12:01 a.m. today and 380,000 United Mine Work ers. About 87,000 other work ers were on strike or idled by strikes in disputes stretching from the Atlantic to the Pa cific. Well over a million workers would have been Idled had not Lewis decided yesterday to send 100,000 Pennsylvania hard coal diggers and western soft coal i miners back to work on MonSay. The steel workers who manned the picket lines today carried signs vowing that they were with their leader, CIO President Philip Murray, to the bitter end In their tight for pensions and in surance benefits financed entirely by the employers. Big Plants Dark The big plants of Indiana and Pennsylvania stood dark and si lent and the customary red glow reflected from the furnaces was missing from the cloud banks over Gary and Pittsburgh. The union struck against 38 steel firms. At the last minute, the big American Can company, employing 14.835 workers In 23 cities, gave in to the union de mands and its employes were or dered to stay on the Job. Seven other firms also were not strucK either because they acceded to the union or because their con tracts had not terminated. Violence in the coal fields taper ed off following the UAW order that sent some miners back to work. The order came after mine owners warned that the industry was suffering loss of markets due to frequent shutdowns. Negotiations Recessed Negotiations in the coal dispute were recessed until the middle of next week. Union and company officials apparently were watch ing developments in the steel strike before reaching a settle ment of their own squabble. Meanwhile, there were indica tions that some of the 87,000 workers idled in miscellaneous disputes across the nation soon would be going back to work. At San Francisco, a spokesman for the CIO Warehousemen's union said settlement was near in a strike of 6,000 workers that be gan June 16. The strike had idled 6,000 other employes. Guy A. Thompson, trustee for the Missouri-Pacific railroad, ask ed 5,000 engineers, firemen, train men and conductors to return to work while three referees judge the 282 grievances which caused them to strike two weeks ago. Thompson said that the rail road, idled throughout its 11-state system, would be bound by the referees decisions, but said the unions would not be bound by them. He said the railroad had lost $12,000,000 worth of business during the strike and that the 5.000 strikers, plus 20,000 other employes idled by the walkout. had lost a total of $6,000,000 in wages.

At the same time, the agricul ture department said the general level of farm prices rose nearly two per cent from mid-August to mid-September, giving the farmer his first price boost in six months. However, the price In dex was still about 14 per cent below a vear ago.

This compared with 59. 947.000 in August, but was still considered a large labor force for September. The labor force usual ly expands during the summer and then drops off in the fall.
