raise such average straight-time pay to 1929
an hour, placing such pay among the highest
today in all of American industry.
Under our offer of Is cent increase, the
average weekly take-home pay of our steel
workers for a forty-hour week would amount
to $3.50, assuming that no overtime is in
volved. This figure is only $4.54 less than
the actual average weekly earnings of these
employees, including overtime, in the last
full war year of 1914, when the average
work week was 46.1 hours. The difference
is really less, because we will undoubtedly
continue to have overtime in the future, just
as we have at the present time. In Novem.
Der, 1915, overtime premiums to our steel
workers aggregated more than $1,300,O00.
Such reduction of $4.54 in weekly take-home
pay is the natural consequence of a shorter
work week of forty hours, and therefore one
of lower production.
Much as we desire to avoid a steel strike,
we cannot overlook the effect both on this
Corporation and on our customers and
American business in general of the 1917
cent an hour wage increase. which you have
proposed. Such a wage increase must result
in higher prices for steel than have pre-
viously been proposed to us by the Govern.
ment Great financial harm would soon fol-
low for all users of steel who would be obliged
to pay higher prices for their steel, higher
wages to their employees, and still have the
prices for their own products subject to OPA
control Such high and uniustifed wage
scale might well spell financial disaster for
many of the smaller steel companies and for
a large number of steel fabrcators and
professors. The nation needs the output of
these companies. Increased wages and in
creased prices which force companies out of
business can only result in irreparable dam
age to the American people.
In our judgment, it is distinctly in the
public interest to take into account the in
furious effect upon American industry of an
unjustiied wage increase in the steel industry.
After full and careful consideration of
your proposal, we have reached the conclu
sion above stated
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1946-01-31

AS you know, collective bargaining nego-
tiations with the Union broke down at the
White House yesterday afternoon, because
Mr.. Murray then refused to bulge from his
position that a countrywide steel strike
must take place, unless steel workers are
granted a general wage increase of 1912
cents an hour Our offer of wage increase
of Is cents an hour was again rejected by
the Union.
The Union threatened to go ahead with
it's program for a national steel strike at
midnight next Sunday, although such
strike will be a clear violation of the no
strike provision contained in our labor con-
tracts with the Union, which continue by
their terms until October l5 1916.
From the outset, we have recognized how
injurious steel strike will be to recOnver-
sion and to the economy of this whole coun-
try, Most industries are dependent upon a
supply of steel for their continued opera
tons. We have done everything reasonably
within our power to avert such strike. If
strike occurs. the responsibility rests with
the Union.
When the Government at the eleventh
hour informed us about week ago of its
willingness to sanction an increase in steel
ceiling prices. we at once resumed collective
bargaining negotiations with the Union. Such
price action by the Government was a rec
ogntion by it of the right of the steel in
dustry to receive price relief because of past
heavy increases in costs, something which
the steel industry for many months has I'M
successfully sought to establish with OPA
should like again to point out some per-
tfnent facts relative to the wages of our
steel workers.
Since January, 1941, the average straight
time hourly pay without overtime, of our
steel workers has increased more than the
1870 increase in the cost of living during
that period, recently computed by Govern
ment authorities Steel workers wages have
kept pace with increased living costs. Such
average straight-time pay in our steel-prO-
ducing subsidiaries was $1.14 an hour IN
each of the months of September, October
and November 1916, excluding any overtime
premium and any amount for correction of
possible wage inequities. An increase of IS
cents, in accordance with our offer, would

Dear Mr.. President:

Dear Mr.. President:
Your proposal to me in Washington last
evening that the wage demand of the United
Steelworkers of America-CIO be settled on
the basis of a wage increase of. 1872 cents
an hour, retroactive to January 1, 1916, can
not, regret to say, be accepted by the
United States Steel Corporation for the rea-
sons set forth below
AS you must be aware, your proposal is
almost equivalent to granting in full the
Unions revised demand of wage increase
of 1912 cents an hour, which was advanced
by Philip Murray, the President of the Union,
at our collective bargaining conference with
the Union in New York a week ago today
In our opinion, there is no just basis from
any point of view for wage increase to our
steel workers of the large size you have pro-
posed, which, if put into effect, is certain
to result in great financial harm not only to
this Corporation but also to users of steel in
general.
AS have tried to make clear to you and
other Government officials during our con-
ferences in Washington over the past few
udyS: there IS q limit IN the extent TO WHICH
the Union wage demands can be met by us.
We reached that limit when we raised our
offer to the Union last Friday from a wage
increase of 1912 cents an hour to one of Is
cents an hour. This would constitute the
highest single wage increase ever made by
our steel-making subsidiaries. Our offer OF
Is cents was equivalent to meeting 500 Of
the Unions original excessive demand of a
81 day general wage increase. Our offer
met 1870 of the Unions final proposal of
wage increase of 1919 cents an hour A wage
increase of Is cents an hour, such as we of
fered, would increase the direct labor costs
of our manufacturing subsidiaries by ap-
proximately $6O,OOOOOO a year. That is a
most substantial sum, and does not take into
account the higher costs we shall have to pay
for purchased goods and services, when large
wage increases generally become effective
throughout American industry, as is newt
able after a substantial increase in steel
wages.
