HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Sundav, .Julv 19. 1959 PAGE 3 A 5-Day Old Steel Strike Dents U.S. Defense Work PITTSBURGH (API - The five day . old. steel strike, currentl; pinching the nation's economy, is beginning to put a dent in nationa defense work. The strike has already snarlei. plans lor the completion of three Atlas missile launching sites near Cheyenne, Wyo.. according to con Itruction officials. The first site, scheduled for completion on Sept. 20. will be finished in time. But high pres sure tanks for the other sites are not expected to be delivered in time for the November comple tion date because of the strike, the officials said. As for the economic situation, the nation's steel production loss es continue to jnount. Production losses are estimated at 300 million dollars a week. Wage losses are running close to 70 million dollars ' week. The strike, which began at Tutsday midnight, has idled some 500,000 members of. the United Sleelworkers and some 35.000 workers in allied industries, such as railroads, coal mines and transportation. . Negotiations are stalemated. Federal mediation commissioners have slated separate talks with both sides for Monday in New "York. President Eisenhower and James P. Mitchell, secretary of labor, conferred on the situation In Washington Friday. Details of the conference were not released. In Indianapolis, Sen. Vance Hartke (D-Indi charged that President Eisenhower should have tried harder to avert the steel itrike. "He could have called these people together," Hartke told newsmen Friday at the Young Democrats state convention. "He should have shown some leader ship." In Detroit, Walter P. Reuther .lead of the I'nited Auto Workers pledged the L'AW's organizational moral and financial support to th L'SW President David J. Mc Donald. Reuther said the industry re jected the Steelworker's propnsa "for fact. finding because it is un prepared and unwilling to test it.' position before the bar of public opinion. I. W. Abel, the internatinna secretary-treasurer of the USW, Friday night charged that the steel industry "wants to gack to the days when we had to stand in line to get a job." Abel made the remarks to some 375 striking workers of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp.'s Hazelwood plant Pittsburgh. These same workers later voted to ask the J. & L. president, Avery C. Adams, to split off from the other steel firms and bargain separately with the local unions. The stumbling block in negotia tions proved to be the union's de mand for increased wages and improved fringe benefits. The in dustry refused any concessions. It said these concession would hike labor costs. Steelworker had been averaging $3.10 an hour be fore the trike. U. S. Steel announced Friday that five more of its coal mines will be closed next week because of the strike. Some 2,000 miners will be idled. Meanwhile, picket activity re mained quiet and orderly in fact, almost perfunctory. Some 5,000 building tradesmen in the Chicago-Gary-East Chicago area refused to cross picket lines, halting work on some 200 million dollars worth of construction work in five steel plants.

There is sure to be a free-wheel ing donnybrook to "re-rewrite" it when it reaches the House floor, probably next week. Republicans said the House bill is much weaker in its labor con trol codes than .the Senate-approved version. The committee Friday finished five weeks of work ing over the Senate bill. -More than 100 amendments took much of the severity out of the "hill of rights" for union members that was grafted onto the original Senate bill sponsored by Sens. which has been investigating la bor abuses. The House bill also rewrites pro visions for union election safe guards, revision of the Taft-Hartley Act and other key sections. As its final act the House com mittee eliminated the Senate pro posal for a voluntary code of ethics to be adopted by unions and management. Democrats were generally non committal about the revised bill Rep. Roy W. Wier (D-Minn) said "it has something in It for everybody."

Sheriff W. E. (Butch) Leypoldt gave the ax to Detective Chief William O'Reilly Thursday. O'Reil ly plans to marry 27-year-old Jack ie Winter, former New York model and television actress, Aug. 2. The sherilf's grounds: The mar riage would impair the depart ment's morale. "I don't want any captain of mine coming to work in a Cadil lac and living in a $50,000 house," Leypoldt said. He gave O'Reilly a choice; re sign or be fired. "You'll have to fire me," the on the force replied The sheriff said "it Is the policy of police departments everywhere to terminate officers who marry wealth Miss Winters said her Cadillac is three years old and she's still paying on it. "I'm really not what you'd call wealthy." she said. "I own several parcels of property, but I'm paying on all of it, just like a lot of people. Privately, many congressmen conceded the House bill was one that -nobody liked very much. Committee Chairman Graham A. Barden (D-NC) also issued a strong broadside against "outside influences" he said tried to dic tate to the committee while it was working on the bill. He did not name them, but it was evident he was paraphrasing charges by some committee mem bers that organized labor represen tatives had tried to put pressure on the committee to soften the bill. Harden said the committee bill just about destroyed the Senate version. Only the framework of the Senate bill remains in the House revision. The House bill: 1. Eliminates criminal penalties for violation of rights of union members as spelled out in the bill of rights section. It provides only that union memhers exhaust remedies within the union for six months. Then they can ask for a federal court injunction. 2.

On the other hand, the House bill tightens requirements on both unions and employers to report financial dealings in connection with labor-management relations. It exempts unions with less than 200 members from filing annual reports with the Secretary of La bor. But it requires all union of ficers to report their finances to the government. The Senate bill had exempted officers receiving less than $5,000 a year. One major change in the House version would amend the Taft- Hartley Act to require the Nation al Labor Relations Board to take jurisdiction in all labor cases. It would enlarge the board from five to seven members to handle this. At present, the NLRB refuses to handle some cases, and state authorities do not have jurisdic tion. This creates a "no man's land" in labor cases. The Senate bill had handled this by giving states authority to act In such sit uations, rather than the NLRB.

Suburban Drug 3950 So. 6th St. Young Wayfarers Arrive With Tales Of Adventure Warm weather seems to have liberated the pioneering spirit in youths across' the country. At least, several young way farers have come to Klamath Falls during the past two weeks, bearing tales of high adventure. The latest was a pair of 19 year-old students at Bradley Uni versity in Peoria. Illinois. Tom Jrmn. a journalism student, and Jon Beyer, engineering, are on a 10.000-mile hitchhiking trek of the West. In a little over a month, they have come 5,000 miles in 97 hops. 1 Thursday they entered Klamath Fails from Ashland, toured Crater Lake and returned, then left Fri day for Crescent City and a swing down the California coast to San Francisco, to Reno, back down the coast to Los Angeles, then through the Southwestern states and home. They plan to -eirive. in Peoria in time to en roll a sophomores. And when the trip is finished, they hope to have stories inter esting enough to sell to the Sat urday Evening Post or other mag azines. They will also have hun dieds of slide photographs taken on their journey. Except occasionally, the boys have had little trouble getting rides. They carry some unique paraphernalia to attract motor ists. The most- important is a se ries of signs five feet wide painted on oil cloth so that they may be rolled up and transported. The ' signs are painted with names of the boys destinations. On super- fast roads, they sometimes turn the signs upside down to arouse motorists, curiosity enough to slow them down. When someone stops they hand the driver a card of greetings and introduction backed up by credentials signed by the Illinois governor, the mayor of Peoria. the president of Bradley Univer sity, and clubs such as the Peoria Jaycees and Kiwanis. They also dispense information about Peoria and the university. Much of their tour has been through desert in South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Washington and tdaho. They confess that their favorite visit was to the Mt. Rush more area of South Dakota. Another favorite memory was that of the Calgary Stampede in Canada. A newspaper there man aged to get the boys photographer passes to the huge show. They got a close look at the first big rodeo they had ever seen and liked it. They also like Uie West in general. Grinn and Beyer brought about; $300 with them. They spend about 50 cents per meal, which they cook on a portable camp stove. They sleep, fitfully sometimes where weather is cool, m sleeping bags, usually in parks, or any where they are welcome. They launder their clothes in laundro mats en route. They also are carrying transistor radios, mess kits and personal articles. RACKET BILL ATTACKED MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPI) Sen. John McClellan (D-Ark.) chair man of the Senate Rackets Com mittee, charged Friday the House Labor Committee had taken the heart out of the Senate-approved labor "bill of rights." He said "elimination of criminal penalties for union officials violating the rights of rank-and-file workers has virtually emasculated the bill."
