The United States Steel Corp.
offered no resistance in War

proposed general wage increase
OF 5l2 cents an hour, but fought
another demand of the CIO steel
workers that any increase be
made retroactive to February.
John A. Stephens. director OF in

The case affects nearly 300, 900
employees of Big Steel's five operat-

CIO President Philip Murray and
Lee Pressman, counsel for the union,
argued not only for the wage boost,
but insisted that equality, as here
tofore practiced within the indus
try, dictated that the wage increase
should Be made effective on the same
date as twas in Little Steel and
further that the same provisions
OF union security should be applied.
The fact that Mr.. Stephens brief
did not argue for less than 51a
cents an hour apparently was a
surprise to the union. It's prepared
statement represented the company
as opposed to more than 80 cents

refute that contention.
Mr.. Stephens argued that the
