DSgruntfled Steel Mis Under Truce First Trickle Of Steel Pours From Furnaces Pittsburgh '- (UPD - Produc tion workers returned to the nation's steel mills in increas ing numbers today as the first trickle of steel poured from reheated furnaces following an injunction-forced truce in . a four-month strike. Workers, grumbling about the Taft-Hartley injunction which ended their 116-day walkout,, tapped a" few furn aces while maintenance crews toiled to repair damage to other facilities caused by long idleness. Although smoke belched from furnaces from coast to coast, less than half of the 300,000 strikers were called back to work and full produc tion appeared as much as six weeks away, half of the 80 day duration of the Supreme Court directed injunction period. In addition to millhands, recall orders went to rail workers, Great Lakes ore ship crews, and coal and iron min ers. But as steel men returned gradually to their jobs, the steel-short automobile- indus try prepared to lay off even more workers as supplies dwindled and no appreciable supply quantity from re-opened mills was in sight soon. Some 250,000 auto workers, mostly General i Motors em ployees, are idle and manage ment warned it would be some time before they could be ordered back, U. S. Steel and Jones and Laughlin, the major produc ers in this steel center, said the bulk of their workers would be called back within More than 50 per . cent of the mill workers in the Chicago-Gary area already were back. Some 46,000 workers will be recalled by Tuesday at Bethlehem Steel Corp.'s sprawling . Sparrow's Point, - Md., works. Other major pro ducer across the nation also Ttported rapid recaps. But a strike of 200 railroad workers against the U. S. Steel's Tennessee Coal and -iron Division in Alabama threatened to keep 25,000 steel workers from resuming work. United Steelworkers of ficials said their members :would nqt'fcroes picket lines 'of toe. Brotherhood of Loco motive Tiremen and Engine-men. .- r. But as workers donned mill "togs and their wives packed Hunch buckets for the first time since the strike started 'July 15, union members na tionally expressed disgust and Presentment at being ordered ".back to work under the in junction against their will. "They vowed to resume the "strike in 80 days if agreement was not reached. But workers : admitted they were looking iforward to their first pay C checks : Workers echoed the "slave Ilabor" charge by USW. Presi dent David J. McDonald.
