Joint Talks Scheduled
In Nine-Day Old Strike
NKW'YORK AP) Federal
mediator! have arranf!d the first
joint peace talks in the nine-day-old
steel strike for next Monday.
But Joseph F. Finnegan, head
of the Federal Mediation Servile,
repeated that he noes no early
solution to the strike which has
Idled more than halt a million
Heelworkers.
Meanwhile, the three lop alum
inum companies Alcoa, Rey
nolds and Kaiser rejected the
United Steelworkers wajie de
mands and lined up with the steel
industry stand. The Steelworkers'
contract with the aluminum com
panies expires July 31.
The aluminum companies fol
lowed .the pattern of the ordinal
proposal by the slecl producers to
the union by urging the union to
accept a one-year wage freeze and
give up the cost-of-living escalator
provision in the old agreements.
A total of 30.500 aluminum work
ers are represented by the union.
About 28,000 other aluminum work
ers are covered by other unions.
After meeting Wednesday with
Union representatives and twice
with steel industry negotiators.
Finnegan said: "We feel we now
have a better orientation on the
differences" between the two
aides.
He plans to meet today with
Secretary of Labor James P. Mit
chell ,in Washington. ,
Mitchell is acting as a fact-find
er for President Kisenhowor, who
could halt the strike at least tern
porarily at any time through
emergency provisions of the Tall
Hartley law.
Union negotiator had hoped
that making some gains with the
aluminum companies might set a
wage pattern for steel. The union
had asked a 15-ccnts-an-hour pack
age in each year of the new con
tract. Aluminum wages now aver
ages $2.91 an hour.
The steel strike started July 14
iftor weeks of unsuccessful ne
gotiations during which the indus
try turned down demands for a
IS-cents-an-hnur annual package.
Prestrike wages averaged $310 an
hour. The companies, said in
creases would force a rise in steel
prices and spur inflation. The un
ion said slecl profits are big
enough to cover a wage increase.
The strike has idled about 45,500
workers in related fields such as
coal, railroads, trucking, shipping
and construction. The slrike has
cost an estimated 400 million dol
lars to the industry in business and
to strikers In wages.
Final Wish To Come True;
Woman's Body Sent Home
The Missouri River is 2,700
miles, long. .,
By GEORGE ESPER
PHILADELPHIA AP) Some
time today or Friday a truck will
leave here for New York, carrying
a coffin.
For Joseph Casagranrje and his
two children, Peter and Clara, and
funeral director Vincent Gangemi
it will mean the start of fulfilling
a special wish.
That wish was made by Casa
giande's wife Maria before she
died June 16 at the age of 53.
She wanted to be buried in her
native Italy.
Casagrande had arranged
through Gangemi and the Italian
consulate here for his wife's body
to be sealed in a special coffin
and shipped to Italy.
The coffin was delivered to an
American Export Lines pier July
2. The next day this city's port
was shut down by a labor dispute
Casagrande felt that the tieup
would be short, so he and Peter
flew to Venice on July 7 to await
the arrival of the coffin. They
would then make it to Mrs. Casa
grande's family home in Ogliano-
Conegliano, 30 miles away. Clara
remained in Philadelphia.
But the tieup dragged on.
"I tried to have the casket re
moved to another port two weeks
ago, but I received no coopera
tion," Gangemi explained.
Then Wednesday a settlement

Short Portrait Of McKay
Given By Oregon Newsman
Editors Note: Larry Smyth,
political editor of the Oregon
Journal, went to Washington in
1953 with Douglas McKay as his
assistant and director of infor
mation. He had known him close
ly earlier through coverage of
Legislative sessions.
By LARRY SMYTH
Oregon Journal Political Editor
PORTLAND (API Life around
Douglas McKay was never dull.
. He was news wherever he
was and whatever he did.
When he went to Washington,
some of his friends showed con
cern that the famous McKay
wisecracks might sound different
ly in .front of people in the East
who had not been around him be
fore. But they had no luck in
changing him. He was the same
in Washington as he was in Ore
gon.
His first speech in Washington
was before the National rress
Club. There he coined the phrase
describing the cabinet as "nine
old men with one Hobby." Oveta
Cujp Hobby then was secretary
of Health, Education and Wei
fare. ;
He was a devoted follower of
Eisenhower and there is hardly
a thing in the world he would
not have done for the President,
. , , When Sherman Adams, then
aide to Eisenhower, told McKay
the administration wanted him to
run for the United States Senate,
he agreed. He was not too en
thusiastic about it. But he be
lieved in party loyalty and party
discipline. . . .
In 'World War II he was over
age and had to waive a physical
disability from World War I. He
was stationed at Camp Adair.
Asked what he did, he said, "I
released a WAC for overseas
service.
He had a merry lime when he
first was governor and Oregon
had daylight saving time. ... One
citizen who did not like the new
time called McKay's home at 5
a.m. every day for days and days
to remind the governor. "It is 5
a.m. and time to get up." McKay
did not change his number.

born Republican Charles H. Silva.
55, a dentist who served in the
Territorial Legislature, and who is
trying for elective office again aft
er an absence of seven years. He
is at present Hawaii director of

Compromise
Bill Okayed
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
House Labor Committee, by a
narrow 16-14 vote, today formal
ly approved a compromise labor
control bill.
Committee Democrats split
down the middle 10-10. Six of the
to Republicans voted for the bill
which was a watered-down ver
sion of the measure passed by the
Senate earlier this session.
Republicans immediately served
notice they will fight to strength
en the committee bill drastically
when it reaches the House floor.
Rep. Joseph Holt ( R.Calif told
reporters that, "All Republicans
who voted for the bill did so only
lo get a bill on the floor."
Rep. William H. Ayres (R-Ohio)
said "not one Republican who
voted for this bill will vote for
it on the floor unless it is amend
ed by the House."
The bill as approved is the prod
uct of five weeks of acrimonious
bill-drafting sessions. Actually, it
seems to please nobody.
In advance of today's session
called lo vote formal approval.
there was doubt the compromise
would turn out to be the legisla
tion finally sent Ao the House.
