mills in Ohio, Michigan and Ken
lucky were ordered today by the
War ManpoWer Commission Re
gional Director Robert C. Goodwin
to arrange to go on the 48-houl
week Immediately.
Exact arrangements, Mr.. Good
win said, will be worked out between
company representatives. spokesmen
for the CIO United Steel Workers
and VINO area directors. In making
the announcement, he said some
misunderstanding had been caused
by reports that steel mills would
have until August l to go on the
48-hour week. whereas June still
remains the effective date.
In Washington tho VINO ex-
planned any plant able to go to 48
hours without releasing workers was
required to do so immediately
Where workers would be released,
however, the mechanics will be slow
er, officials said.
Steel plants working less than a
46-hour week are required to re-
ceive WINGS approval before hiring
any new workers, and plants which
have not gone on the 48-hour week
bv July l must have filed by then
an employe release schedule for
u1needed workers. The VINO on
June l extended from July l to Au-
gust l the deadline for actual re-
lease of such workers.
Mr.. GoodWin's announcement was
mace at the conclusion of a two
day conference here with represen-
tatlves Of steel mills in the three
States, where some 100000 steel
workers are employed.
