One suit, filed in the district court at Pittsbuigh by the CIO united steelworkers sought an esti- ] mated 890,000,000 tMt on behalf of 90.000 employes of the CarnegieIllinois Steel Corp. Another Hied at the same time by the same union sought an estimated 130.000,000 t.M> for 30.000 workers of Ihe Na-■ tlonal Tube Co. Both companies are sulMldiarles of gigantic U. S. Steel Corp. Seven days later the steelworkers union filed a series of actions In federal court at Hammond. Ind., seeking a total of more than 8118.000,000 (M) against three companies -Inland Steel Co. Youngstown Sheet & Tube, and General American Transportation Corp. The suit* charged that the companies had fdiled to pay portal time for the I vet six years Officials of thb steel workers union said the suits were “only the beginning.” CIO president Philip Murray, who a |so heads the steel workers, eaid that ivortal pay "now is the law of th- land, and there can lie no bargaining over It.” Industrialists frankly were worried. They said that small concerns would t>e forced into bankruptcy by the huge sums Involved in such suits.

The chamlH-r recommended to the membership that four amendments be made to the wage-hours act. The chamber said the amendments would: 1. Remove "present uncertainties" as to hours worked in computing overtime pay. Local prac ! tices or agreements governing hours in particular industries would lie recognized 2. Halt ihe "progressive extension” of provisions of the law toindustries not engaged in interstate commerce. (The chamber said that should a window cleaner, wash windows of a company engaged in interstate commerce, the window washer also is considered to be engaged tn interstate commerce. I 3. Eliminate double liabilities against employers when they are found guilty of unwitting violation of the act. 4. Authorize employers and employes to reach compromise settlements where disputes arise over interpretation of the law.
