small firms to new contracts.
Weirton Steel Co., a subsidiary
of National Steel Corp., asked
governmental permission to raise
its price a ton to help cover
increased labor costs. There was
no Immediate reaction from price

The company, an important pro

last week signed a contract with
the Independent steelworkers for

The modified union shop means
new employes must Join the union

SMALL COMPANIES
Meanwhile, leaders of the union
are meeting with other small com
panies across the nation but the
sessions are closely guarded sec
retsnone of the companies has
been Identified. - ,
One big reason for the secrecy
Is that the stselworkers' chief,
Philip Murray, fears the big pro

on the smaller firms and block
possible agreements.
The big companies. like U. S.
Steel Corp., the nation's top pro
ducer, are bitterly opposed to the
union shop issue. It was one of the
recommendations the Wage Stabil

tempted to avert the costly strike.
