Steelwarkers ~ Chart Wage Hike Plans

"By United Press ATLANTIC CITY, N.. J. Nov 18 The United Steelworkers CIO) mapped plans yesterday to demand substantial wage hikes and broad fringe benefits for its 500,000 members in the basic steel

industry. Union sources disclosed that contract demands will hit the steelmakers “both” ways.” The union will insist on .a big al-

though unspecified — across the board wage boost as well as improvement in premium pay and other fringe .issues. The union's demands probably will set a 1952 pattern for other ndustries . and may wreck the whole stabilization program.

Chart Pay Goals

The steelworkers 170-man wage policy committee, which met yesterday to chart the union pay goals, hoped to finish its work by today. The meeting had been expected to last at least two days. The stepped-up timetable underlined the union’s eagerness to start negotiations. It was empha sized further by the disclosure that Philip Murray, president of hoth the CIO and the steel union has scheduled a preliminary meeting next Monday with John H. Btephens, chief negotiator for the ‘giant United States Steel Corp. They will set a date for full-dress talks. The union hopes that “big steel” and other industry leaders will be ready to sit down at the bargaining table later this month Earlier indications were that tals would. open in December.

Contract "Ends Dec. 31

The standard union contract with basic steel producers expires Dec. 31 and the union will be free to strike after that date. Mr. Murray warned at the .CIO convention last week that his union is ready to quit the mills if necessary to win large benefits, But the industry also has delivered a warning—that it will need price increases to pay for any wage hike it gives Mr. Murray. Steel men estimate that each cent an hour increase willl add $25 million annually to their operating costs. However, they already have failed in one recent bid to win a price boost from the Office of Price Stabilization. OPS Chief Michael DiSalle is reported determined to hold the line. If steel prices go up, so does almost everything else. A steel strike would cut directlv into the heart of the defense production program, and government officials have served notice that a walkout must be avoided. Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson said last month that a contract deadlock would be referred promptly to the wage stabilibation board. {

The agency said it would recommend that the industry be permitted to recover the cost differ-| ence by raising prices of vehicles. NPA and industry officials agreed the shortage will not affect passenger cars to any significant degree, since they use steel plate only in bumpers, wheels, axles, starters and generators. Car bodies are made of steel sheet, NPA said cars use only 8 per cent of the plate consumed by the entire motor vehicle industry. The remainder is used by trucks. The agency said the industry as a whole will be allotted threefifths of the plate it needs for the number of vehicles it is permitted to make in the first quarter of next year. The plate shortage, NPA said has been created by “sudden changes in military requirements.
