1Q MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Or Mnd7, July 20, If 3 Federal Mediator Renews Effort To End Steel Strike Pittsburgh-DPD-Federal Me- tion that the union agree to diation Chief Joseph F. Finne- gan tried again today to "end the deadlocked five-day steel walkout in separate meetings with the United Steelworkers and representatives of the 12 major steel companies. The head of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service conducted fruitless talks with the two groups last Thursday, the day after 500, 000 steel workers walked off the job. While Finnegan met in the conference room with the two sides, the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corpi' went into two western Pennsylvania court rooms to seek an injunction against what it terms "illegal picketing" by steel workers at three of its plants. SmIci to Restrain Pickets J. & L. seeks to restrain pickets at two plants in Pitts burgh and one of Aliquippa, Pa., from denying free pas sage to some 1,000 supervisory personnel engaged in mainte nance work - at the three plants. The "union .locals have adopted a 'once you go put, you stay out" policy,' keeping the supervisors virtual prison ers' in the plant since the be ginning of the strike last Wednesday. A political note has also crept into the strike news. Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.) said Sunday in the nation's capital that a continuing strike would hurt GOP chances in the 1960 election. Javits and Rep. Chester Bowles (D-Conn.) called on the President to take a more active part in trying to ter minate the walkout. UrgM Fact Finding- Board Javits said "the sooner the President appoints a fact-find ing board" in the strike "the sooner we will get some con clusion." Bowles, asserting that the industry should hike wages and cut prices, said that steel prices had . risen faster than wages and that labor costs had actually decreased, due to increased per-man out put. Sen. Estes Kefauver (D Tenn.) also said Sunday that his Senate anti-monopoly sub committee would reopen hear ings soon on alleged price fixing by the steel industry. In the past, Kefauver charged, steel companies have boosted steel prices more than twice the amount needed to pay in creased wages. Outlook Bleak The outlook for an early settlement remained bleak, however. The industry nego tiating team, headed by R. Conrad Cooper of U. S. Steel, remains adamant in its posi- a one-year wage ireeze as a guarantee against an infla tionary wage spiral. Manage ment also wants to curb the union's voice in local working conditions. .The union, meanwhile, in sists that the steel industry's increased profits would enable it to grant a real wage in crease plus more fringe bene fits without contributing to inflation with a steel price hike.
