ent union. The agreement elimf-
mated shift premium differentials
and provided basic minimum wage
of 81 an hour, retroactive to jan
uary /.
Mr.. Latferty emphasized the in
crease was obtained without a strike
and said it was the first time in the
history of the steel industry that
wage rates have reached the level of
81 an hour" and 80 far as available
records indicate, it also is the first

A spokesman for the USW said
the Weirton contract provides a dol
lar-an-hour wage for all employees
regardless Of the shift they work,
whereas the shift differential re-
tanned is USW contracts with other
steel firms provides 9611 cents an
hour for daytime work, 81 .0O5 for the

New Farley Set Today
After Week End Talks
Fail 10 End GIN Strike
BY the Assseioted Press

DETROIT, Feb. ia dispute
over union security as well as
wages extended the General
Motors strike into another week
today despite an intense week.
end attempt at settlement.
Again summoning corporation and
Clio United Auto Workers officials
into conference at 2 o'clock this aft
ernoon, James F. Dewey, special
Federal mediator, placed the Sc
curity issue first on the agenda.
Once this issue is settled Mr..
Dewey believes, the wage problem
will be less troublesome. The 49,
cent GIGS per cent? increase offered
by GIN last Tuesday Is only one
cent less than the figure recon-
mended by President Humans
fact-f1nding panel and regarded as
acceptable to the UAW-CIO.
Stymied on One Argument.
I'VE are stymied on one argu-
ment," the mediator admitted after
an unprecedented Sunday meeting
with c. E. Wilson, GIN president,
and R. j. Thomas, JAW president.
The subject of that argument be-
came apparent a short time later
when Walter P. Reuther, union vice
president, disclosed that only the
security clause in a proposed new
contract had been discussed.
Union leaders have insisted on a
provision similar to one in the old
contract stipulating that promotions
and transfers be made on a basis of
seniority when merit, ability and Ca
pacity are equal. The old contract
was Cancelled by General Motors on
December 10, less than three weeks
after its 175,000 production workers
walked out.
The corporation has opposed such
provision and made no comment
after the Sunday session ended in
deadlock. Mr.. Dewey said wages
were not discussed at the three-hour
conference. which followed a s1a-
hour meeting Saturday.
Little Was Accomplished.
In kilograms to GIN locals
Throughout the Nation Mr.. Reuther
said no progress was made on the
security question. Mr.. Dewey told
reporters little was accomplished,
dampening hopes that had been
built up by the calling of Saturday
and Sunday sessions.
Today's meeting will mark the
35th time company and union nego-
tiators have bargained since last
October 8, first in an effort to avert
the strike and then to end it. A
GIN spokesman estimated the dis
putants had spent a total of 100
hours at the conference table.
AS the GIN strike entered it's
90th day, the National Labor Re-
lations Board set tomorrow morning
for a resumption of its hearing into
union charges that the corporation
had failed to bargain in good faith.
An NLRB spokesman said Stephen
Du Brul, General Motors economist,
would be the first witness called
to the stand. Mr.. Wilson testified
for several days last week, vigor-
ously denying the charges.

He also asserted that President
Truman's wage-price policy would

bevin Denies Poles
with British Army in
Italy Threaten Peace
BY the A.soeiosed rrsss

{. LONDON, Feb. 18.-Foreign Sec
rotary Ernest Bevin denied nofi-
cially today that Polish troops
serving under British commandsain
Northern Italy were moving toward
the Yugoslav border and were a
threat to peace.
A Yugoslav memorandum, pre-
sented by Russia Saturday to the
United Nations Security Council,
made the charges. Mr.. Bevin re-
piled in 5000 word letter to Sec
rotary General Trygve Lie of the
United Nations, declaring:
IF the Yugoslav government be-
lieved the charges in their memo
randum to be well founded, their
proper course was to bring them to
my notice through the diplomatic
channel.
Declared Based on Rumor
Instead the question has been
brought to the Security Council by
the Soviet government with a sur
prising reference to the matter as
constituting possible future
threat to peace.
THE Yugoslav governments
statement that the Polish forces
are in close touch with Yugoslav
disSident elements in Italy, and
that they are giving these elements
material support. appears to be
based on rumor.
II have no information to confirm
these rumors and I cannot take any
cognizance of such reports until an
indication is given that they are
supported by conf1rmatory evil
dence."
Not Official Complaint.
The Yugoslav memorandum was
distributed to Security Council
members on the last day of their
session by the Soviet delegate,
Andrea Vishinsky. 1t was not lodged
as an official complaint calling for
action by the council.
The note charged that the Polish
troops Of Gen. Wladislaw Anders'
ID Corps were attempting to recruit
troops from exiled Yugoslay "Fasc-
list" elements. 1t charged that the
Poles were drawn up on a front of
approximately $50 miles near the
dispute province Of Julian Marche
and that TOO Poles actually were
stationed in Trieste inside the prov
ince.
Mr.. Bevin said the Poles are used
only in guarding enemy equipment,
dumps, prisoners of war and the
like.

II. 5. Seeks 10 Soften
Effect Of Steel Boost
lon Consumer Goods

In carrying out the Governments
promise to give the steel industry a
lprice increase averaging IS a ton
on its products, ofi1cials said today
they would try to apply the boost
$50 that 1t will be fair to smaller
lfabricating companies and in a way
that will have the least possible ef-
feet on prices of consumer goods.
They pointed out that the price
relief which resulted in settlement
Of the four week strike does not
mean that the price of all types of
steel will be raised IS automatically.
The size of the increase will vary
with the different types of steel. On
some shapes 1t might be only a dol
lar, while on another it might be $40.
Seek to Avoid Squeeze.
OPA said that generally it will
apply the increase with the follow
ing detectives in mind:
/. To avoid squeezing" the small
fabricating companies, Shose who
purchase basis steel from producers
and make it into useful products or
parts of products.
2. Try to place the increase where
1t will be felt the least by con-
sumers. This could be done by
holding down prices of steel that
goes into refrigerators, automobiles,
and giving producers most of their
increase in such items as structural
steel and heavy rails. 1t was point
ed out that building owners and
railroads could write off increased
costs over period of years, easing
the immediate effect.
3. Take into consideration the
differences in production costs be-
tween companies and allow higher
margins to those manufacturers who
need it. Production of some of the
heavier types of steel is admittedly
not profitable at this time.
Boost Priority Items.
4. Consider the needs of steel
users and the relative Importance of
products, giving higher price boosts
to items of high priority to encour-
age production.
Because steel Is produced in so
many different forms and types,
OPA explained that present aver
age prices are hard to compute.
Steel is divided into two general
classiflcations, carbon and alloy.
There are score of different sizes
and shapes of carbon steel and even
more of alloy types.
OPA gave $54 ton as a fairly
accurate average price of carbon
steel, before the new boost Alloy
steels range in price up to $1,000
ton and even above for highly
turned types.
Held Down In War.
Federal officials estimate that
about $4,000 900 tons of carbon and
1000 900 tons OF alloy steel will be
produced this year.
Iron and steel prices were held
down during the war much more
effectively than general prices. The
industry received a boost ranging
from 81 to 81 a ton on most of the
basic steel products year ago, the
first general increase OF the war.
Government calculations Of steel
and iron prices use the 1926 price
as a base index of 100. On that
basis, the index in 1910 was ISL
