NEW YORK, Feb. 7 GN.S0.
Leaders of the Committee for In

opened negotiations with big
steel" today for renewal of their
contract which expires at the end
of this month.
The closed conclave between
CIO officials and key men in
United States Steel Corporation
followed an earlier meeting OF
more than 20 union leaders.
Philip Murray, chairman Of the
steel workers organizing COM
mittee, headed the labor group.
PRESSMAN PRESENT
Lee Pressman, general counsel
of the Committee for Industrial
Organization and "right-hand
man" of John L. Lewis, head OF
the CIO, was among those present.
Others were David J. Mcdonald,
treasurer of the SWOC; Clinton
S. Golden, regional director of
VOC with headquarters in Pitts
burgh; Van A. Bittner, Chicago,
the western director, and William
Mitch, Birmingham, Ala, South
ern director.
MILLS REPRESENTED
Also present at the meeting
were close to 20 steel union rep
resentatives and delegates from
the various mills that will be
affected by any new contract that
Is signed.
The first contract to come up
for discussion when the union rep
resentatives get together with
the U. S. Steel officials will in,
volve the Carnegie-Illinois Steel
plant, where 10000 men are en-
p1oyed. This contract, it is ex-
pected, will be the model for con-
tracts affecting other steel mills.
U. s. Steel, when operating
normally, employs approximately
$50, 900 men.
The main issue in the contract
Is the wage provision, which was
fixed in the expiring contract at
IS . day for eight hours work for
common labor. That is the base
rate. with wages rising from that
figure for more skilled workers.

leaders today spurred members to
speed legislation and stimulate
business recovery.
Despite sentiment among some
Administration leaders that action
on monoplies should be limited to
q long-term study this year, with
legislation next year, the President
was said by close advisers to be
insistent that something be done
to crush monopolies before this
Congress adjourns.

assured, probably delaying ad.
