four-doliar-a-ton price increase and that the con- try couldn't afford to let tho strike start
 valrless pleaded thaa hs had no authorization from the industry Co 60 any further than ie cents an hour. Tns incidentally s what Murray had warned Fairless would say.
 Shaken by Trumans tough attitude, Falzless asked for time to talk the sltuation over further with his colleagues in New York. He said he needed untl "wednesday to get this done. The three s" men then entered and escorted Fairies back to enc cabinet room.
 steelman and schwelenbach both talked to Murray separately, trying to convince him that they were supporting his case.
 Then the three Truman aides escorted Murray in to the President Truman asked Murray if there was Q chance of settlement. Murray told him that the only chance rested in the steel companys making decent offer which would restore some of the lost take-home pay to the 100000 members of the union.
 Murray had informed the White House before the meeting that the steel strike was settled, then all CTO unions would delay their planned walk-outs until there could be further negotiations. Murray told the President that the steel corporation was the piper that played the tune for all big busness that if Big Steel" made 8 reasonable agreement the electrical appliance producers, the meat packers, glass makers the auto manufacturers would follow suit.
 Truman repeated his plea that the national in- terest was ct stake, and said he couldn't let the strike start Murray replied that he too was anxious to avoid strike but that after five months of fruit less negotiations, the patience of his members was worn thin.
 EEeShubuG little more time to work out deal
 T believe we can settle in @ week." Truman declared. Tt would be national calamity the steel mills closed down now"
 Murray was silent for while. Finally he said, T only say Yes to the President of the United States"
 The last scene in the long-drawn negotiations was between Truman, Fairess and Murray, together. The President reiterated the need for settlement and told the two men he wanted negotiations re- sumed at the White House on Wednesday. Fairless ~a- ing with his associates in New York, and to be back in Washington on Wednesday Murray said he, too, would be on tap for the meeting.
 NOTE I-Many people consider the man most responsible for the current nlpasse to be the ex- Missouri bank vice president John Snyder, now up to his in the affairs of the world After Snyder had lit bonfire under two-fisted Chester Bowles to get four-dollar-a-ton price increase for steel he rushed to the phone and tipped off the steel companies before he used the price increase as bargaining weapon to settle the strike
 NOTE 2-Bob Hannegan says John Snyder is not from Missouri He only migrated there from Arkansas.
 1t was President Truman personally who asked that the House and the Senate attend joint ses- sion to hear General Eisenhower and Admiral Nin- z. He is very much worried over the Senate tnvest- gation of demoblization. Gen. Lucius Clay, who has done as good 6 job as possible of running occupied Germany is fed up and wants to be relieved
