THURSDAY. AUGUST 18. 1960 U.S. Steel Rail Subsidiary Crews Go Out on Strike Pittsburgh, Pa. -IUPII- About 1,500 nonoperating employees of the Union Railroad went on strike today, cutting off rail shipping at 17 industrial plants, including five big U.S. Steel Corp. facilities. The walkout, called bv the United Steelworkers, official ly went into effect at 7 a.m., after a last minute mediation effort by a representative of Gov. David L. Lawrence fail ed to bring settlement of a wage and benefit dispute. Line Connects Plants The railroad, a subsidiary of U.S. Steel, connects the plants with main line opera tions. U.S. Steel had virtually halted steelmaking operations hours before the scheduled walkout and the railroad strike was expected to idle 50,000 workers in the affected plants. Charles Dowd, chief of the Pennsylvania Mediation and Conciliation Service, huddled with representatives of both sides until early this morning in a desperate effort to avert the walkout. The USW authorized the strike against the railroad in a dispute over wages and benefits in the new contract. Serves Other Industries The railroad also serves 12 other industries in the dis trict, but those companies were not expected to be af fected because other transpor tation arrangements were made available. Tne union is seeking a settlement similar to the basic steel contract reached last January. However, URR Pres ident F. W. Okie contended that the demands would be too costly. Oakie claimed the demands would Increase employment costs by $1.20 per working hour. The basic steel settle ment price was estimated at 33 to 41 cents per hour.
