Steel Industry
Banking Furnaces
In Face of Shutdown
Pittsburgh-flJPD-The nation's
iteel industry became a crip
pled giant today.
Across the country, mills
which a month ago had
reached post-recession pro
duction peaks1 were engaged
in the tedious and costly
proeess of shutting down.
Only a break in deadlocked
contract negotiations in New
York could give steel makers
a last-minute reprieve from
a nation-wide strike sched
uled for midnight.
From Gary, Ind., East Chi
cago, Morrisville, Pa., Birm
ingham, Ala., as well as this
steel capital, came reports of
banking of blast furnaces,
sealing of coke ovens and
cooling of open hearths. '
The skip cars which norm
ally dump ore, limestone and
coke into the top of blast fur
naces were dumping only
coke today. The coke will
smoulder under reduced heat
until a contract settlement is
reached. ; , ,
Shutdown Damage Possible
A too-rapid shutdown could
cost millions of dollars in
damage. Too fast banking of
blast furnaces-some of which
cost as much as $45 million
each-could cause the brick

cal 367 was still on strike
today following Saturday's
walkout in a dispute with the
Master Plumbers Association.
The strike, affecting some
340 plumbers, tied up work
on all jobs south of the juris
dictional boundary except on
the emergency contract at the
Army's Fort Richardson.

linings to crack and crumble.
Thousands of miners who
work in the captive pits for
steel companies or in inde
pendent mines to supply the
coal for coke were told to
take "an extra week's vaca-tion"-without
pay-or were
furloughed.
Trainmen- who man the
small connecting railroads
also came under the shutdown
orders, as did seamen on
Great Lakes ore boats.
And with steel-the nation's
economic lifeline-not flowing,
practically all other business
and industry sooner of later
would be affected.
The effects of the impend
ing strike became evident on
the faces of merchants and
city officials in the steel-making
districts and,' probably
more than any others, the
steel workers, themselves.
Business Slack Noted
Store owners and bartend
ers throughout Gary, East
Chicago and South Chicago
reported that their business
volume had begun to feel the
impact.

go, anger and depression were
reflected in workers' faces.
"What are we striking for?"
one young worker asked. "We
don't know what we're ask
ing for and what, we'll get."
He asked not to be identified.
"Whatever the union asks
for is all Tight with me," an
older worker said.
Frustration and disgust
were voiced by another
worker.
"We just got back from a
layoff and now we have to
go out again," he said. "I'm
finished with steel work. It's
too unstable."
"I got money in the bank,"
a worker said, "but we're go
ing to eat hot dogs instead of
steak and we're going to the
beach for recreation."

Labor Council
Protests Passes
For Mickey Cohen
Portland flJPD The Central
Labor Council Monday night
passed a resolution protesting
the issuing of free Centennial
passes to Mickey Cohen, Los
Angeles gambler.
Cohenw as in Portland last
week end and attended the
Don Jordan-Denny Moyer wel
terweight title fight.
Anthony McBride, a repre
sentative of the Electrical
Workers Union, asked that the
resolution be sent to Chair
man Anthony Brandenthaler,
Gov. Mark Hatifeld and the
Oregon Journal.
Carried Picture
The newspaper carried a
picture of Brandenthaler and
Cohen Sunday and said the
chairman had given Cohen
four free passes.
Brandenthaler said today
that "the passes I gave him
will never be used.' He said
Cohen bought five tickets to
get in the gate the first time
and I figured that as long as
we had him on the grounds it
would be easier for the four
detectives to keep an eye on
him."
"He's not in jail. He's a citi
zen," Brandenthaler said.
British Columbia

Vancouver, B.C. -UPD- The

To Enable House Cleaning
He said the document also
would be valuable to "televi

"facts enabling it to clean its
own house."
Hogan's argument was
made in a 20-page brief pre
sented to General Sessions
Judge Mitchell D. Schweitzer,
who impounded the present
ment last month after the at
torneys for producers of sev
eral quiz shows no longer on
the air objected to it.
Schweitzer had asked the
district attorney " to present
arguments, and said he would
make a ruling in' August. .
Hogan -said it' could be as
sumed the presentment ex
poses "a national fraud where
by television quiz shows have
been- constantly misrepresent
ed to millions of citizens as
honest tests of the contestants'
knowledge and skill."
He said the "gigantic fraud
and hoax" involved "a regu
lar practice of informing 'con
testants' whose, lengthy pres

profitable, of the questions to
be asked and, frequently, of
providing the correct answers
