TEN CENTS FROM ERNIE

Weir, of course, knew about the wage demand on U. S. Steel; and realized he would have to dupli- cate any increase it granted. Fur ther, it was no secret to him that U. s. Steel was talking five cents. If he acted first and voluntarily granted a pay boost that topped the offer of his competitor, which had union contract, the union would be at a disadvantage in try ing to organize Weir's workers.
 Weir acted. He announced To- cent an hour increase.

WASHINGTON-T CIO stee workers owe their spectacular wage increase victory to a man who is one of their bitterest foes.
 He is Ernest T. Weir, former Treasurer of the Republican Ma tional Committee and head of the Weirton Steel Company, which is under charges before the National Labor Relations Board in the long, est case on record. The story of how this militant anti-CIO bat tier broke the resistance to its wage demands is one of the most extraordinary in steel's turbulent history.
 The Steel Workers Organizing Committee (CIOs steel union) aimed it's first shaft at U. s. Steel mighty giant of the industry, which has had contract with the SWOC for several years. Theory behind the strategy was that once Big Steel came to terms, the others would have to fall into line.
 In his first talk with U. s. Steel officials, Phil Murray mentioned nc specific figure. The company of- ficers indicated willingness to con- slider a pay readjustment and pro- posed a five-cent an hour in- crease.
 Meanwhile the C1O offensive had become hot on another front the vast Ford plant in Detroit. In the midst of this battle, marchers suddenly appeared before Weir's unorganized plant bearing signs reading, Ernie, You're Nextp

 The statement indicated Myers will build a deceptive offense with end-around plays, spinners and a passing attack, featuring short, speedy heaves.
 T will be looking for a smart lineman to call defensive signals" !" he told about 50 candidates. My plan is to use shifting defenses. and the man who calls the signals for these defenses will be important as the quarterback is on offense."
 Myers diagrammed his defense system on blackboard and showed how he employed shifting five, six and seven-man lines. He said he had about 60 plays ready and expected every player to memorize the entire list.
 Assistant coaches will be appoint ed by next week, he said, and spring practice will start March 3l and end April 90.
