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.

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

pledged the L'AW's organizational
moral and financial support to th

Donald.
Reuther said the industry re

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.

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.

fer evidence of wrongdoing to any
other government agency.
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.

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

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."
