Lewis Holding Out, But Steel Strike at End 1lr t'HIU.1 I'rMl The big 1!M9 steel strike was vlrtuully ended today but settle ment effort iHKh'ed In the coal dispute as novel ninetil officials Ituve John U U-wls back the nub lie handed them earlier In the week. With the Blanl U.S. Steel Corp. and Inland Steel sinned up for H-nslons nnd Insurance benefits, CIO President 1'hlllp Murray pre. dieted that "as far as tonnage a ml manpower lire concerned, 00 per wnt of the industry would be back In oeratlon Monday. Now the faiiuum "pence of liethlehem." the pension and wrl fare agreement with Hethlchcin Steel Corp. that1 first cracked the Industry's united front against the CIO steelwoi Uers' demand, had resulted In ur.niMwntM with firms producing tin per cent of the nation's steel. That figure In eluded U.S. Steel's 3a cr cent. Chliiir Anifi-y But It appeared that only gov ernmental action could prevent the United Mine workers from rnrryliiK out their threat to strike aualn on November 30. Lewis' offer to meet with "any body" who could "contribute" to a coal settlement was answered by Koderal mediation director Cyrus Chlng with an abrupt state ment that "I lon't plan to do any thing In the coal situation before Monday." And, he added, he waHn't sure he would take any action then. That was almost the same treatment I-ewls nave Chlng Thursday when he curtly declin ed to attend a mediation meellni! with mine owners assembled by the mediation director In Wash ington. . , , U'wis apH'ared to be sticking to his demands for higher pay, shorter hours and n boost In con tribution to the mine welfare fund which, he said, would cost the Industry 30 to 35 cents for every ton of coal mined. Although coal and steel were being produced as rapidly as pos sible, the effects of the twin strik es were still hurting Industry. More than 50,000 workers were Idled In the automobile Industry because of steel shortages and about 27.000 more were threat ened with lavoffs because their employers did not expect to re ceive steel shipments In time to restore stock piles to normal.
