amount ja nours after the Supreme
MEETING ;
WASHINGTON UP) An In.
doilry-unlon meeting to seek a
steel strike settlement may be
held within 48 hour, an in
dustry source reported today.
Plana for the meeting do not in
clude the government.
The reporting source aald de
tail may be announced In a
Joint statement by management
and Ihe CIO United Steelworkers.
Pittsbnrgh waa mentioned a the
probable scene of preliminary .
talk. , '
Court ruled the government had
no right to seize the Industry April
President Phllln Murray of the
CIO United Steelworkers ordered
his 650,000 workers In basic steel
to drop their tools as soon aa he
heard the decision. His men won't
work without a contract, Murray
vowed. .-, .. ,
ORDERLY
The walkout Is orderly across
Ihe nation. The giant U. 8. Steel
Corp. said some of it plants were
not even being picketed. With the
Industry closed down tight, there
was little for pickets to do' any
place but idly pace In front of plant
gates.
Tne trickle of production left Is
accounted for by firm like Weir-
ton Steel Co., in Wirton, W. Va.,
and Steubenvllle. O., which deal
with independent unions and by
companies like Kaiser steel, which
have signed agreements with the
union. ., . ,, ,
INDUSTRY
Steel Industry experts exnect
steel - consuming industries to con
tinue operations -unhampered by'
me steel sir uie lor at least two
weeks. And then the pinch will
come.
Steel for factories making all
kinds of steel products has been '
more abundant recently and the
long-standing steel shortage was
just . about --oveewhea. the steel
workers struck.
The trade journal Iron. Age es
timates general consumer steel
inventories at from 30 to 60 davs
supply.
Automobile makers are believed
to have 30 to 45 days supply.
nut piant snutaowns probably
will come before the Inventory runs
out if tne steel strike lasts that
long. . - .
SHORTAGE 1
A shortage in any vital steel Item
would make it Impossible for any
given manufacturer to keep up op
erations.
The steel strike halted iron ore
mining in Minnesota with about
10,000 diggers Joining the walkout
near Hibbing, Minn.
Tne miners went out in obedi
ence to a direcUve from George
Teller, international union repre
sentative. In previous steel strikes,
the ore miners bad stayed on the
Job. , ;
NEGOTIATIONS
Both union end industry ex
pressed willingness to get together
for new negotiations.
Neither made any specific plans
to meet at the bargaining table
immediately. In the absence of
any concrete move for new contract
talks, industry and union sources
see little hope for an early settle
ment based on any possible nego
tiations. Skeleton crews designated by the .
(steelworkers remained inside the
mills to prevent damage to costly
equipment. Damage would mean
a slow work return If and when
a new contract Is signed.
