fort TO arrange o conciliation con-
ference. He had been unable to
reach them by telephone yesterday,
he said.
Each Blames Other
Each side blamed the other Tor
the breakdown In the Chase nego-
Ciations. Rodney Chase, director OF
industrial and public relations for
the company, criticized the union
for q take It or leave 1t" attitude.
James McGrath, president of the
Chase Local, charged the company
with attempting to gain "cut-rate
settlement"
Mr.. Chase said the company had
taken steps to arrange O conference
once 1t received word that brass
prices would be increased by o cent
and O half per pound, telling Com
missioner TruaX Of Its willingness
to negotiate. He said the company
had offered an increase Of 10 la
cents an hour on o pattern similar
to that used In the settlements at
the Scovill Manufacturing Com
pany and the Bridgeport Brass Com
pany,
THE union" said Mr.. Chase, lin
sisted we do more than these other
concerns have done and further
complicated the situation by other
issues"
Mr.. McGrath claimed the COM
pany proposal would make the in
crease far below a true 10 li2 cents
for incentive workers. Also, he said,
the company made the increase con-
tingent on approval by the Wage
Sterilization Board, with employees
to get only that portion Of the raises
approved by the WSB.
Supporting the unions demand
that the increase be made retroac-
tive, said Mr.. McGrath, Is the fact
other companies made settlements
without any necessity for strikes,
and more did not prolong strikes
to the unnecessary extent that the
Chase Company has prolonged this
strike"
Union Not Soft
IF the Chase management had
any feeling 1t would meet a union
committee that would be soft and
yielding, the company must know
by now that very different situa-
ton exists said the union pres
ident.
At yesterdays negotiation ses-
sions, representatives Of both sides
first met together, then later went
into separate conferences with Com
missioner Truax. When the meet
ings ended, each side said the next
move was up to the other.
Chase and American Brass EN-.
ployes went on strike February 1.
Strikes began this week at the
American Brass plant in Detroit and
the Chase plant in Cleveland, where
employees also seek an increase Of 10
~ cents an hour.
The Scovill Manufacturing Com
pany, which yesterday signed an
agreement with the union, contin-
ued today with preparations for re-
Stunning production on Monday. The
schedule under which employees will
return to work is announced in adj
vertisements in today's newspapers.
Numerous maintenance workers are
already back on the job, and pro-
duction workers will begin going to
work Monday.

posed to substitute voluntary

union maintenance provision was

other minor Qualification Of Ian

The union seeks to have the wage
increase rlade retroactive to June

the previous contract.

Hope He's Right"
Congressional comment on the
Presidents optimism was meager
and guarded. It took this line: I'VE
hope he's right"
Rep. Edith Nourse Rodgers, r.,
Mass, thought, however, that I'VE
should be told the facts so We
could know whether or not we need
TO be alarmed"
Sen. Warren Austin, r., VT, one
Of the most prominent minority
members Of the Senate Foreign Re-
latiorN Committee, expressed in a
Senate speech view held by many
high administration officials. He
charged that pell-mell demobiliza-
ton of our armed forces, plus fail
ure to extend the Selective Ser
vice Act, was Justification for any
country to suspect that the U. S.
may not carry out its international
commitments.
How can a great country like
Russia" Austin said, "have faith in
the United States If Russia sus-
pectS-and has reason TO suspect
that America is wilfully failing to
carry out her commitments with re-
spect to occupation of enemy ter
ritory until the enemy is entirely
peaceful"
Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes is disturbed on the same
score as Austin. He talked pri-
vately to the House military affairs
committee earlier this week and
told it in effect that he was being
urged to enforce talk big" foreign
policy with cap pistol.
Some confusion still persisted
here over Byrnes' statement Tues
day night about reports of Soviet
troop movements in Iran-a state
ment that Immediately brought big
headlines and a flood of rumors
from other mid-eastern states about
Soviet movements.
There was more than little evil
dence that the State Department
underestimate the explosiveness
OF the statement. Officials con-
tend now that the headlines eX-
aggerated the statement and that
the departments information was
just a report" about which the
Soviets were being asked.

The city income tax idea met with

II was revived last December by

rain.
