Steelworkers Study Proposal From Industry Contract Proposals Os Steel Companies Studied By Union NEW YORK (UP)—The United Steelworker* today studied contract proposals from the steel industry's “Big Three" that could determine whether the nation is hit with a costly steel strike this year. Top trade sources said the feeling here was that a peaceful seti lenient would be reached on a new contract for 656,600 steelworker* before the June SO strike deadline. : ’ The companies prJßmtted their counter offer to the union’s contract demands at an abbreviated negotiating seaaiun Wednesday. Reliable sources said‘the oompanies’ counter offer called, for a package increase approaching 15 cents an hour, including a wage hike and a form of guaranteed annual wage. ’ David J. McDonald. president of the USW. said the union will study the companies’ proposals and then meet with its 170-man wage aud policy committee on Friday morning, presumably to r.ct on the offer. Formal negotiations between U. $. Steel. Bethlehem Steel and Republic Steel aqd the Steelworkers union will resume Friday afternoon after a one-day recess. AU McDonald would say Wednesday was that the cointer offer Included “a wage increase," 'Veteran industry officials said the companies had asked the union for a long-term contract, possibly three to five yehrt. to replace the two-year contracts of recent years. The union has asked the eolfci panies for 22 proposals that add . tp*to tents an hour, the ex- ; pert* calculated This is the biggest package demand since the uhion sighed Its first contract i with the steel industry 19 years ago. ' I Key points in the union’s pack-i , age are a "substantial” wage hike,. 52 weeks of supplemental unem- ’ ploymeht benefits, a full union snob and premium pay for week/ ends. - " ‘. ‘ The companies’ offer’ was leered 4o have scaled down Sharif ly the troibft’s ’ demands. -* ’ ’-wff 'itnaWtaf boUßltug* steel ’ Ttathistiry ■ headed for a record output/ this ■ year, a- factor ■ which mitigated lUjaimii a Btrtkm- it The Meel industry is operating t at close io 97 percent of capacity.

The unanimous action of a threejudge panel affirmed in all details a decision of federal district Judge Edward M.- flwrran on Jiine 8«. 1955. , Service, one of the first state department targets of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy was fifed * few hours after the “doubtful ieyalty” finding was retimed igaihst him by a loyalty review beard of the civH service commission iu 1951. < .’ ;; Service previoosiy had. been cleared by state dep/iAment loyalty board*? 4 & Curran had found loyalty findings against Service had beep voided by a 1955 supreme court decision in the John P. Peters loyalty case. In that case. ■ the high court held that the jurisdiction of the civil service com mission board to review loyalty findings was limited to workers who had been recommended' foe dismissal and did not include those who hhd been cleared. Curran found further, however that the secretary of state had authority 4o order Service’s dis missal under another law—a ridei to an appropriations bill — which provided that the secretary could fire any employe without notice, hearing or appeal. Service had sued to obtain rein statement, back pay: and to have his name cleared. He had served thp slate department for 18 years. Service, who served as a U.S foreign service officer In China for many years, was .accused by McCarthy and others of pro-Comtnu-nist bias. He vigorously denied the charges and launched a lou# fight to clear his uaipe. J', Trade in a Good Town -j~- Decatur. |
