BY the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 25.-Un-
interrupted production in the
Nations largest steel mills will
continue at least through April
80 by agreement between United
States Steel Corp. and the CIO
United Steelworkers' Union to
extend their present contract to
permit more leislurely, careful
discussion of a 1947 pact.
Philip Murray, president Of both
the CfO and the Steelworkers, an
nounced the agreement last right.
Contract talks opened yesterday at
a two-hour meeting in which the
union presented 15-point program
of general demands, the company
made its contract extension pro-
posal, and both sides decided to
adjourn until Monday.
Mr.. Murray said he assumed
other companies under contract
with the union would follow the
same program" in extending con-
tracts. most of which expire on
the same date-February is.
Steelman Halls Move.
Just year ago, the unions $685.
600 membership was embarked on
a month-long strike. In that con-
troversy the union originally de-
manded a fiat $2-a-day increase, but
settled for 1914 cents an hour, a
figure that became the national
wage increase pattern.
This years agreement to extend
the contract during negotiations
brought from John r. Steelman,
presidential assistant, the comment
that it was "a very fine move on
the part of all concerned" He
added "they did it themselves" with
out direct White House prodding
Edgar L. Warren, conciliation
service director, saw "a further in
dication that the United Steelwork-
ers of America and the United
States Steel Corp. are making real
effort to adjust their differences
peacefully"
Announcing the extension. Mr..
Murray declared:
1.-THE union agreed to this course
of action because we believe that
real collective bargaining requires
complete discussion of all points.
During such discussions the public
should not be kept in state of ap-
prehension. We likewise understand
some of the problems confronting

Portal Pay Actions as
'LegaIized Hijaeking'
Coils Suits 'CIO Club
At Senate Judiciary
Groups Hearing
BY the Associated Press

Senator O'Daniel, Democrat, OF
Texas today termed portal pay
suits "legalized hijacking' and
a CIO "club over industry"
He told a Senate Judiciary SUBJ
committee in a prepared statement
1T is imperative that Congress do
something" about the situation.
The subcommittee is considering
legislation, including a bill intro
duced by Senator O'Daniel. which
would knock out or restrict portal
claims.
Suits for more than 400, 600, ,00C
have been filed since the Supreme
Court held last June that workers
are entitled to pay for "make-ready'
activities-sharpening tools, chang
ing clothes and so forth.
O'Daniel Sees No Cancellation.
CIO unions have brought most OF
the suits. In agreeing yesterday to
a two-and-a-half month extension
of the steel workers contracts with
the industry, CIO President Philip
Murray cited as one of the reasons
the uncertainty" of management
over portal pay liability. Most OF
the contracts were due to expire
February Is.
Commenting on this action, Sen
ator O'Daniel told reporter he does
not regard it "as any move TOWARD
Cancellation" He added:
Murray and the CIO are Just ia
miliar enough with the whole situa.
ton to realize that's the only thing
they can do.
"They recognize that the porta
pay death sentence is such a threat
to industry that they cant possibly
negotiate new contracts while 1t Is ir
the picture"
Called Biggest Issue in Congress.

an invitation by both the union anc
the steel industry for Congress tt
settle this issue and to do it quickly
Until it is out of the way there
can be no harmony between labor
and industry"
In his statement for the Ju.
dietary Subcommittee. Senator
O'Daniel declared:
"Of course, these portal-to-por-
tai pay suits are just plain legal
lied hijacking. The CIO is simply
using them as a club to hold over

Writ Of Prohibition
Goes To State Court

In a move to reverse Judge
Beauchamps decision in favor of
the plaintiff unions the proponents
of the Right-to-Work Bill are
seeking the aid of the Supreme
Court of the State.
Last week, in the name of w.
H. Renck, the intervenors in the
suit by Arizona organized labor
to set aside the petitions which
i n i t e d the Right-to-Work
Amendment sought Writ of Pro
hibition in the Supreme Court.
The Writ, if granted would forbid
the Superior Court presided over
by Judge Edwin Beauchamp from
further hearing the case.
H. S. McClusky, general counsel
for the State Federation, and
Laurence H. WhitloW, associated
with him in the case, were at this
writing prepared to resist with full
vigor the issuance of this Writ
which would throw out the case.
Organized Labor has already spent
many thousands of dollars on the
prosecution of this particular phase
of their efforts to oust the per-
nicious right -to-work Amendment
from the States Constitution.
AS the proponets of this Amend
ment make this last ditch effort
to prevent a judgement of the
case on it's merits the hearings
before the Special Master are con-
tinuing at as rapid a pace as
possible. To date Maricopa, Pima
and Yuma Counties have been
checked and Cochise County soon

Hello there, here and every

Sometimes, 81 WONDER" what for
