WASHINGTON, April 14.-CIO
workmen at United States Steel
plants probably will continue to
work tomorrow, although strike
deadline is set for tonight.
Union leaders, who are de-
manding a 10 cent hourly wage
increase, said today they will
postpone the strike beyond to-
night even if no agreement is
reached today. Mediators are
convinced the union and company
representatives are near a COM
promise.
MediatorS also feel they are
near success in their efforts to
effect compromise which will
return 100000 soft coal miners to
their tools. Southern operators
are said to have halted efforts to
settle the strike until now.
Another strike at Standard
Tool works in Cleveland has
been settled and men will return
to work tomorrow.
