Procedures Discussed
McDonald spoke to report
ers after discussing procedures
for this afternoon's public
hearing to be conducted by
President .Eisenhower's fact
finding board.
The . board stepped back
into the marathon dispute to
day by meeting separately
with union and management
officials in advance of the
hearing.
Asked how separate nego
tiations on ' a company by
company basis were progress
ing, McDonald replied:
"They are getting no
where." He said there seemed to be
"a lot of acrimony" in the
bargaining discussions.
Both sides will present their
position to the board of in
quiry. This will include for
mal presentation of manage
ment's "last offer" which al
ready ' has been rejected by
the Steelworkers as inade
quate. Another Futile Round
The new sessions followed
another futile round of bar
gaining here Sunday, both on
a company-by-company level
and on an industry-wide basis.
..The fact-finders, after their
new hearings, must report
back to the President by Jan.
6 'on where management and
union stand in the dispute.
This will set in motion ma
chinery under the Taft-Hartley
law for the 500.0Q0 Steel
workers to vote Jan. 11-13 on
whether they want to accept
the final -management offer.
The steel companies claim
their "lasj offer" would pro
vide 30 cents an hour in extra
benefits over three years. The
union contends the package
would be worth only 22 cents
an hour.
Could Resume Strike
If union members reject the
offer, they will be free to re
sume their strike on Jan. 26
