MAIL TRIBUNE, M4frJ, Or. 1Ws4y, July 23, 19S9 ; Steel Union, Industry Will Meet on Monday New York - (DPS - Federal Mediation Director Joseph F. Finnegan announced Wednes day night that the' striking steel union and industry ne gotiators had agreed to meet jointly with him on Monday, but he said that didn't mean they were any closer to con tract agreement to end the nation-wide strike, now in its eighth day. A few hours later the Big Three aluminum producers turned down wage demands of the United Steelworkers of America (USW), posing the possibility of a shutdown of the bulk of the nation's pro duction ot that basic metal at the expiration of contracts July 31. To Report To Mitchell Finnegan left for Washing ton Wednesday night to report today to Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell on the steel situation, in which Mitchell has placed himself as a one-man fact-finder. Fin negan told newsmen that his statement of last week that there can be no quick or easy solution to the strike "still stands." Monday's meeting will be the first meeting of industry ' ,and union negotiators since ; 500,000 basic steel workers went on strike at midnight July 14. An estimated 35,000 more persons in supporting industries have been laid off as a result of the shutdown of 85 per cent of the nation's steel production. The industry, whose 12 biggest firms are represented by the four-man negotiating team, has refused to consider an increase in overall labor costs, ' demanding instead , a bat inflation. The union claims the industry can raise wages without raising prices. . The aluminum industry ap parently lined itself up be hind the steel industry in re jecting the USW'i 15-cent wage package demand. About 30,500 steel workers are em' ployed by the Big Three firms -Aluminum Co. of Ameriea, Reynolds Metals and Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corp. They also employ about : 28,000 workers represented by other unions. The aluminum contracts normally follow the pattern set by steel contracts, and the USW has not indicated wheth- . er it will call a strike against them at contract expiration or extend contracts pending a steel settlement. House Committee Approves Labor Reform Measure Washington-UPD-The House Labor Committee, by a 16-14 vote, today approved its own toned-down version of the Senate's labor reform bill. Both parties split on the fi nal vote, with 10 Democrats and six Republicans voting for the bill. Ten Democrats and four Republicans opposed it. But the six Republicans who voted yes said they did so only to get a bill before the House and keep it from being stymied in the committee. Oa Priority List A labor reform bill is on the LlXUWt'J USh VI UUUl A ICOlUCUb Eisenhower and House Demo cratic leaders for action this year. House Republican lead ers, however, have denounced the committee version as too weak. The bill is expected to reach the House floor in about two weeks and face a real donny- brook there. It first must be cleared by the House Rules Committee, but supporters expected little trouble there. 4-H Club Hews Eagle Point Ranehers The Eagle Point Ranchers met July 13 at the home of Danny Burrill.
