Conviction of
Cahill Affirmed
By Stale Court
Salem U.R The Oregon
Supreme Court today affirmed
the conviction of Otto W. Cahill
of Delake following arguments
on rehearing.
Cahill was charged with con
version of public funds while
acting as secretary of the Taft-Nelscott-Delake
water district.
Trial was held in Polk county
on a change of venue with Cir
cuit Judge William W. Wells of
Pendleton presiding. Cahill was
sentenced to not more than one
year in the penitentiary and
fined $1,500.
The high court's original opin
ion in the case was handed down
Jan. 25, 1956 and held that the
trial court's judgment of con
viction should be affirmed. It
said Cahill was guilty of mak
ing personal use of the $750 en
trusted to him and concluded
that he was guilty of conversion.
In an opinion by Justice-William
C. Perry, the court reversed
a judgment for $9,394 recovered
by Tony Senger against the Vancouver-Portland
Bus company
for injuries sustained in an auto
mobile collision on June 26,
1952.
Senger contended that a city
ordinance providing for one-way
traffic does not prohibit other
than one-way traffic and that
since there was no stop sign fac
ing him he was not negligent in
failing to stop.
The court held, however, that
he was proceeding in the wrong
direction down N. W. Couch
st. a one-way street and failed
to stop at the intersection of 10th
ave. where the accident occurred.

'Big Three1 Steel Companies
Expected To Offer Own Proposals
New York U.R The "Big
Three" steel companies are ex
pected to present their counter
proposals to the United Steel
workers contract demands today
in a move that could mean "war
or peace" in the basic steel in
dustry. ,
The companies offer the de
tails of which probably will not
be revealed will determine just
how far apart the two sides are
on basic contract issues.
The union has presented the
industry with 22 demands that
the experts said from the biggest
package since the Steelworkers
signed their first contract with
the steel industry in 1937.
The union is asking for a big
wage hike, a form of guaranteed
annual wage, premium pay for
weekends and a full union shop.
The union's total package would
cost 60 cents an hour if met in
full, the experts calculated.
Steelworkers now average
about $2.47 an hour. The belief
here is that a new agreement
will be reached calling for a
package increase approaching 20
cents an hour.
The "Big Three" steel com
panies U.S. Bethlehem and Re
public will submit their coun
ter proposals to the union when
negotiations resume late today.
The bargaining sessions,
which began in Pittsburgh May
28, were recessed Tuesday to
give management time to put
the finishing touches on its of
fer, which is expected to in
clude a wage increase and a lay
off pay plan better than the 26
weeks of supplemental unem
ployment benefits which the
auto workers got last year.
Industry sources said hopes
for an early settlement of the
contract talks hinge ' on how
close the companies' offer comes
to the union's demands.
"If the companies and the
union are miles apart on key
contract issues," a top industry
spokesman said, "there could be
real trouble this, year. If they
are close, then an early settle
ment is a distinct possibility."
. The union's powerful 170-man
wage and policy committee will
meet here Friday to act on the
counter offer from the "Big
Three."
A new contract between the
union and the three biggest pro
ducers is expected to set the pat
tern for the rest of the steel in
dustry and possibly the 11th
round of postwar wage hikes
throughout the economy.
The present contracts between
650,000 USW members and 172
steel companies expire at mid
night on June 30. The nation is
faced with a costly strike if a
new agreement is not signed by
that time.
Top officials of 11 major steel
companies, including the "Big
Three," are in New York to act
in an advisory capacity on the
contract talks.
