Secretary Os Labor Lashes Steel Union NEW YORK <UPI) — Steel industry and union representatives meet here today for the second time since the beginning of a nation-wide strike 20 days ago. Hanging over their conference table are a sharp rebuke for both Sides from Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell and a slap at the steel industry from Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) At San Juan, Puerto Rico, Massachusetts' Gov. Foster Furcolo proposed that the governors' conference take up the strike which he said calls for "positive action on the part of the governors of the states. aU of which are very much affected by this strike.” New Jersey's Gov. Robert B. Meyner called for the Eisenhower administration to use more “influence,” through Mitchell, to bring the industry and union together. Little Hope Seen But Federal Mediation Director Joseph F. Finnegan, who scheduled today's meeting, held out little hope the session would result in substantial, or any, progress toward agreement. It was set for 2 p.m. .after a lunch scheduled by the industry to release to the press “thou-

sands of letters” supporting its position—that a wage increase is not possible without a price increase and that both must be resisted as inflationary. The United Steelworkers of America (USW) which called half a million members on strike at midnight July 14 when a con- , tract extension expired without sign of agreement maintains that the industry’s profits are high 1 enough to provide a 15-cent-an-hour wage package without an increase in price. Kefauver said Sunday he believes steel profits are highr enough for the industry to both pay a small wage increase, pref-<_ erably in pension contributions, and reduce its prices. Criticises Steel Profits Kefauver, a long-time critic of the pricing policies of steel and other big industries, said profits after, taxes for 14 steel companies are 145 per cent above those of last year. Mitchell, who is conducting a fact-finding survey of this and previous steel strikes which he has hinted may lead to federal legislation, in a sharp statement Saturday said: “Both parties have done very little to measure up to their own responsibilities to the American people and to the thousands of workers who are affected by the strike.” In addition to the 500,000 steelworkers, who have shut down 85 per cent of the nation’s production, an estimated 85.000 workers in supporting mining and transport industries have been laid off because of the strike.
