Continued from Page D cents an hour--one cent less than demanded by the union and 3 l-2 cents more than offered by the company. The proposal would mean a $250, 900 900 increase in the steel industry's annual payroll.
 Union May Accept
 Labor observers thought chances of union acceptance were favorable but could give no clue to the inc dustry position.
 Reflection of Mir. Truman's pro- posal by either party probably would wreck the governments ef- forts to ward of the nationwide steel strike scheduled to being at midnight Sunday. Its acceptance would set a pattern for settling for other disputes.
 The president submitted his pro- posal at p. m. yesterday follow ing three unfruitful conferences at the White House between Philip Murray, president of the steel union and the entire CIO, and U S. Steel President Benjamin Fair less.
 Murray Talks to Leaders
 Murray immediately went into session with union leaders at the CIO headquarters and Hairless left for New York to consult other steel industry spokesmen. The pending negotiations affected only U. s Steel directly, but any settlement would be applied to other compan- ieS as well.
 It was believed that Fairless might also consult with industry leaders outside of steel since steel settlement would serve as a general guidepost for all disputes.
 Murray likewise was aware that more than the steel dispute wal involved - that his acceptance oi wage increases of slightly more than 1T per cent would serve a' . general pattern for settlements by other CIO unions.
 Thomas Joins Command He therefore announced that be- fore reaching 6 decision on thC presidential proposal, he would dis cuss 1t with the CIO high com mand, made up of officials of othel large CIO unions involved in cur rent wage disputes.
 President R. J. Thomas, of thu CTO Auto Workers Union, which fl striking against General Motors left Detroit by plane for the i'm portant discussions here. Official of the United Electrical Workers another of the CIO Big Three already were in Washington.
 In assessing the prospects fol acceptance of the Presidents for mula, observers noted that MT Truman had proposed a wage in crease less than the one has en dorsed for the ITS, 600 striking GIG automobile workers.
 Differences 1n Dispute However, there were conspicuou differences between the GM ans steel cases. The presidents fact finding board in the GM case helG that the company could pay q wag increase of 10 l-2 cents without { price adjustment. The Administra ton has conceded that the stee prices must be raised and have dis cussed increases of $4 and more ton.
 A wage increase of IS Ia cent for the steel workers would b equivalent to about I'll per cen whereas i9 l-2 cents for the GA employees would be equal to n. per cent. Most CIO Unions entere current wage negotiations by de manding 90 per cent raises.
