S.)-Th' itional steel strike in
Pittsbu and western PennsyIva-
MIA, " : leart of the country, has
reachf a state of stagnation or
| snail = progress in which neither
| side see a quick decision.
IT, crucial days OF the strike,
, which 10th sides had confidently pre-
dicted would see the making or
breaking of the strike, have passed
without doing either. Only a STAN
pede of the strikers back I. the mills
| or a stampede of the workers from
the mills can now give either side
the clear-cut decision 1t Graves.
The DOGGY" man of the steel oper-
ators is government intervention
looking to a compromise. II Wash
ington does not "butt in," as one
steel man put 1t, all the steel inter-
eSts have 10 do Is to lay back and
watch this strike win itself Finan-
ctal resources, the heavy siege artil-
lery oe the companies, will provide
victory in the long run. Steel off,
cials can continue indefinitely on
their resources; strikers can't though
they are admittedly fairly well
"heeled" for this strike.
