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.
Salem Shooting
Suspect Surrenders
Salem tUPD Fire of un
determined origin gutted five
classrooms and the library of
the Hoover elementary school
just outside the east city
limits here about 1:30 a.m. to
day. Damage was estimated at
about $50,000.
The school was scheduled
to open Sept. 12.
The flames were believed
to have started in the area of
the laboratory. The fire
spread through the central
section of the L-shaped, one
story brick and frame build
ing before firemen from Sa
lem and the Four Corners
rural fire department could
control it.
Twelve fire trucks and
crews worked on the blaze
and contained the fire after
it had destroyed about one
third of the building.
Several firemen suffered
various minor injuries. Five
men suffered from smoke in
halation, but none were seri
ously hurt.
The school building was
eight years old.
