Union Leader To Return To Steel Talks NEW YORK (UPD — Union chief David J. McDonald planned to return to the steel strike negotiations today, even though he contends that up to now they have been “a sham.” McDonald has been absent from the bargaining table since Aug. 7, leaving his assistants to dicker with the representatives of the 12 strikebound steel companies on “non-economic” clauses of a contract, that is, issues other than wages. Robert H. Moore, deputy director of mediation, reported that the negotiators have completed their first review of the contract terms and that at today’s meeting the conferees will be “approaching the decision-making level.” Mediator Not “Hopeful” The mediator declared, however, that he was “not particularly hopeful of reaching an agreement on the contract” because neither side has indicated any change in its position. McDonald told newsmen Tuesday that at no time since negotiations began on May 5 has industry made a specific offer to the union. As he put it, “there are no offers on the table.” The "key” to Settling the strike, he said, is “true collective bargaining on the part of the steel industry leaders.” But the union chief said he did not believe the industry’s chief negotiator, U.S. Steel executive Vice President R. Conrad Cooper, had the authority to make real decisions. He said Cooper was only carrying out orders. Rules Out Taft-Hartley He said that invoking the TaftHartley law would not be the way to settle the dispute. Under this act President Eisenhower could —in the event he believed a national emergency had arisen—seek an injunction halting the strike for an 80-day "coolingoff” period. When that time elapsed the union could resume the strike if no agrement had ben reached. "Driving the steel workers back into the mills with Taft - Hartley injunctions would settle nothing, said McDonald. “It would leave a festering sore that would scar and irritate labor-management relations in this vital industry for years to come.” Two Youths Injured In Accident In Ohio Two youths, one from Craigville and one from Willshire, 0., were injured Sunday evening in a onecar crash south of Willshire. The car driven by Melvin Crozer, 21, Craigville, was headed north when he missed the second curve of an S curve two and one half miles south of Willshire. The car went off on the left side of the highway, and flipped over endwise. Croxer and his passenger, William Huffman, 20 Willshire, were taken to Gibbons hospital, Lima, 0., where Huffman was treated for cuts and bruises and Crozier underwent X-ray treatment to determine the extent of his injuries. Only Minor Damage When Cars Collide A two-car collision was report* ed to the city police this afternoon with only minor damage being noted. The mishap occurred at the corner of First and Monroe streets. A car driven by Roy M. Balyeat, 77, of 228 Limberlost Trail, was struck by a machine being driven by A. R. Ashbaucher, of 626 N. Third street, as the Balyeat vehicle was stopped in traffic attempting a right turn onto Monroe from the north. The Ashbaucher car pulled up next to the Balyeat car on the inside and struck the right front door. Steadfastness is a noble quality, but unguided by knowledge of humility it becomes rashness or obstinacy. — Swartz.
