ORDERS DISPATCHED

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 12-B -
Formal orders for one-week
postponement of the steel strike
were dispatched from here tonight
by the CIO-United Steel workers
as some steel officials expressed
doubt that full production could
be resumed Monday.
Several companies, however,
said they expected normal opera
tons. But a spokesman for U. S.
Steel corporations, the world
largest producer, pointed out that
the slow down Of operations in an
ticipation of the walkout which
had been scheduled tomorrow
midnight could not be overcome
by that time.
News of the postponement, an
nounced in Washington by Presi-
dent Philip Murray of the union
at the request of President Tru-
man, brought mixed expressions
in the industry.
U. S. steel said here that curtail-
ment operations had gone so far in
subsidiary plants in the Pittsburgh
area, anticipating a strike at mid
night tomorrow, that it was uncer'
tain just how long it would take
to restore production.
Representative of some other
companies expressed confidence
operations would be resumed
quickly.
Jones & Laughin Steel Corp.
at Pittsburgh, one of the country:
largest producers, which had no
curtailed despite the threat strike
was ready for full operations.
Spokesman for union and man
agement in the Alabama stee
field said they saw no reason why
plants in that state could not op
crate normally Monday.
Republic Steel Corp, In Ohio
instructed all its plants to con
tinue normal opevations" bur
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co.
in the same area, said three OF
four days would be required t.
return to normal.
Four mills in scattered sections
idle in advance of the scheduled
nationwide strike because of loca
grievances, had kept several thou
sand workers from their jobs to
day.

An operators walkout, as well as
federal seizure of telephone exchan'
ges, both apparently hinged on the
outcome of Cancellation efforts in
the Western Electric Equipment

Secretary of Labor Schwellen-
bach personally took hand in the
Cancellation negotiations this morn
ing. After a short time, however,
he withdrew leaving the mediation
lob to federal conciliators Howard

Directly concerned were officials

At the luncheon recess, both con

that little progress had been made

Murray and Fairless, as well as
Ross, declined to say what was
offered today.
The President said Fairless had
asked for more time to present
the proposition to the steel COM

Mr.. Truman in his statement said
the president of the U. S. Steel
Corporation "could not speak def
nitely for his own company or the
other companies on the counter
proposal of Mr.. Murray and had
asked for more time.
Optimistic
Mr.. Truman concluded his state
ment with the optimistic declara-
ton that:
''It is my belief that an agree
ment will be reached"
The conference break came at
about six O. clock, Ross explained,
after with the President called in
Fairless and Murray separately.
Ross said the President had told
each that he wanted this strike
settled"
After the Presidents statement
was drawn up he asked Murray
and Fairless into his office again
and read the statement to them,
Ross said, and they agreed to it.
Ross added that the union and
management chiefs then arranged
between themselves for another
meeting in the cabinet room at 2
p. M, Wednesday,, with the same
conferees participating for the
union, industry, and government.
AS the meeting began a highly
placed official told a reported that

President Truman uncommitted

Associates said Secretary OF
Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach did
not want to link prices to a wage
increase at all, on account of the
possible effect in future pay cases:
The anonymous official SAID
heavy pressure was being put on
Bowles and Collet, but he en-
