 It vas at the Presidents sugges- ton that Town Lines leaders called a public meeting last October. At that time, the Ordinance of 1881, which sent the town into the Con- federacy when it remained as the last citadel, was repealed. Somebody suggested that voting on such e vital question as rejoining the Union should be postponed until such time as the towns World War IT citizens were around to have a say in the matter. The citizenTy then appealed to Gov. Thomas F. Dewey for special protection during their period of suspended animation"
 By early this month most of the veterans were home and consider ably irked to find their community had become . town without a coun- try. At their request, the voting was set for today.

(Continued from Page D 100000 tons a day. With 750.0oO steel workers on strike resulting cutbacks and shutdowns in allied industries swelled the idle ranks to more than 9O0.O00 today.
 The United Steelwofkers wage policy committee met with Murray yesterday to hear report on the strike. They adopted Q resolution calling upon President Truman to turn over government-owned face tories now operated by basic steel companies to men like Harry !. Kaiser for operation.
 Ask For Conspiracy Probe
 Kaiser signed a contract with the union for his Fontana, Calf, plant granting the IS Ia cent increase to 4,O00 workers.
 The union wage policy committee also called upon the Department oi Justice to investigate. an alleged secret meeting of induStrialists in New York the first week of January in a conspiracy to provoke strikes and destroy unions"
 FairIess termed the charge ridi- culous. You don't destroy unions by offering them the highest wage increase in history" he declared
 He said the difference between the comRanys offer and the unions demand amounted to only eI.5O a week 6 worker and that flor each week of work lost on strike the steel worker would have to work about nine months ct the higher figure in order to come out even"
 Steel soId At Loss
 The l5-cent increase offered by the company would increase costs of the steel industry by approxima- tely ei35. 900 900 a year and would boost the average pay of the wor- ker to s62.A0 for 70 hours, ne claimed.
 Fairless said that under present ceiling prices for steel. most of the corporations ordinary steel tonnage was sold at q loss. He said the eon- pany's first offer of a i2 Ia cent increase followed Q conversation with a responsible officer of thu government" in which . e4-a-tou price increase was promised. Latel a "high government official" told him, he said. that the Government would sanction an increase "0vel the promised ef-a-ton" and the corporations offer was increased tf lS cents.
 On the same day the Presldent'l fact-finding board in the Genera I Motors dispute recommended a II Ia cent an hour increase. The skee union adopted the figure with thl consequence that the negotiation broke down completely" Fairies said.
