 the CIO threatened to extend the present walkout to 23,000 other workers in the area unless agree ment is reached. The closed pits supply coal for important steel and iron plants working on defense.

 Bendix Industry
 In the Bendix dispute, the Of- flee of Production Management struggled with 6 company-unior inpaSse over the rehiring of 51 strikers in an effort to avert the last resort of referring the case tc Mir. Roosevelt for presidential &C., ton.
 Drastic Action in View
 Possibility of drastic government action was foreseen because the na- tional defense mediation board working on the strike almost since il started 9 days ago, had charged the company with not cooperating and rejecting a final board proposal that 1t rehire strikers immediately.
 The company offered to reinstate the 51 men within 30 days, saying their jobs had been filled and their immediate re-hiring would obstruct production. The mediation board refused to accept this offer.
 fingered by the company position, the aircraft division of the CIO United Automobile Workers threat ened to introduce mass picketing.
 The mediation boards procedure in turning the dispute over to the OPM was followed in the two previ- ous instances in which the govern ment seized private plants = North American Aviation Corp, and the Federal Shipbuilding and DrydocE Go. The former was turned back to its owners, but the shipbuildlng concern Is being operated by the navy.
 The mediation board has listed both the Bendix and Detroit dis putes among the seven most criti- cally affecting defense production.
 The Detroit controversy has made Idle 8,lo0 men producing high ten- sile steel for defense orders at the Great Lakes Steel Products Corp. in suburban Ecorse, A shut down resulted from a walkout by 400 insurgent CIO steel workers in protest against wage schedules agreed upon by the company and the union.
 l9 Leaders Fired
 The company discharged 19 alleged strike leaders last ngiht and the union called for a Federal Bureau of Investigation inquiry into the background of the strike instigators Two federal conciliators are work ing on the case.
 Refusal by the big five operating brotherhoods, representing 3S0,O0C railroad employees, to accept an of- fer by a presidential fact-findtne commission to arbitrate, left the railroad wage dispute up to the President. Fourteen incorporating hrotherhoods, with 0,000 members have not replied to the commis- sion's offer, but the commission stipulated that all parties would have to accept before 1t would act
 The carriers conference commit tee, representing all major railroads agreed to arbitration.
 The next step in the case which involves wage increase and paid va- cation demands estimated by the carriers at $90O,000 annually, will be the fact-finding boards report to the President.

The headings are: automo- bile equipment, building supplies and hardware, burial equipment, dress accessories, household furni- ture and equipment, home appli- anceS, jewelry and novelties, and miscellaneous items.
 The use of the metals in construc- tion is prohibited after November l. Their use for items not on the lists is ordered cut by 30 per cent
 Small Plants Watching
 Some smaller plants are watching with interest the outcome of experi- mentS now underway to find possi- ble uses for plastics as substitutes for copper and brass, but the city's main plants are committed to brass and copper production. Much of the production of the city's Big Three, the Chass Brass and Copper O., the Scovill Mfg. Go. and the American Brass O., is being devoted to de- fense.
 OMP spokesmen said at Washing ton that at the current rate of pro- duction the restrictions will mean a saving of 00.OO0 tons of copper in the next year. However, they added the rate of consumption for civilian use has been growing so rapidly that another 600.000 tons or more would be needed next year.
 Even with the high priority rat ings enjoyed by defense materials, some local factories have had to lay of employees for varying periods be- cause Of Q lack of materials.
