Thousands Now Helped

People who hear ordinary

six ounces, including batteries,
yet is amazingly efficient. 1t
can be worn all the time or

his disapproval.
Il don't want the Senator from
North Dakota to lose the floor"
said the Democratic leader, but
I hope he loses his chair. In all
my experience here, I doubt if
any Senator ever got such re-
quest. and I regret that it was
granted"
Senator Lucas added that if
such practice should come into
vogue, it would mean "the Senate
is deteriorating as a legislative
body, insofar as the dignity of the
Senate is concerned"
The incident was given a hu-
morous touch when Senator Morse,
Republican, of Oregon, interrupted
to explain that, not only was the
North Dakota Senator sitting
down to make a speech, but he
happened to be sitting in Sena-
tor Morse's chair.
There were other vacant seats
in the chamber at the time, but
Senator Morse explained his was
special chair, which he had
built for his own use several years
ago. Senator Morse said he feels
1t is his duty to remain in the
Senate chamber as much of the
time as he can, and he wanted a
comfortable chair.
At this point Senator LANCER
arose and completed his speech

basic steel industry. They will
escape the walkouts.
The recommendations called for
a company contribution of six
cents per hour for pensions and
four cents per hour for social in
surance with no contribution from
the employees.
Bone of Contention.
The non-contributory factor has
been the bone of contention in
the long battle between
basic steel and Mr.. Murray. The
steelworkers struck that industry
after three truce extensions en-
gineered by President Truman.
There were scattered reports Of
walkouts in advance of the strike
deadline set for many of the fab
ricating firms at midnight tonight.
All 80 workers employed at the
J. & L. Steel Darrell Co.. North
Kansas City. Mo. walked out last
night.
A strike began during the week

Eight small firms in the Pitts

An iron mine in Benson Mine,

There was good news for steel
consumers in some quarters, how
ever. John S. Johns, field repre-
sentative for the union in the
Canton Ohio district, said no
plants there are scheduled for a
walkout.
He revealed that series of

Embassy officials in Santiago
said he was busy yesterday on
details of party he planned to
give soon. An embassy statement
praised Mr.. Dawson for his foreign
service career.
He had served the State De-
partment since 1925 and held

American countries, in Korea and
at Hamburg, Germany.
He recently accompanied Alder

economy and commerce, to Wash
ington for talks which resulted
in the granting of an Export I'm
port Bank loan to Chile.
Born in Washington, he was
graduate of Central High School
and of the United States Military
Academy in 1924.
Mr.. Dawson had served as first
secretary of the embassies in Bra

MIR. Lewis rested after another
week of fruitless negotiations with
coal operators in West Virginia.
Talks will resume Tuesday be-
tween Lewis and Southern opera
tors at Buefield. and Northern,
Western and steel company oper-
ators at White Sulphur Springs.
The coal strike began Septem-
Der 10 over suspension of the
unions welfare fund.
On the darkening aluminium
front, there appeared no hopes
for averting a walkout which
would paralyze half OF Alcoa's
spraWling operations.
The dispute is the same as in
the others in which the steelwork-
ers are neutrality-suspicious. and So
cial insurance.
Nine Plants Involved.
Alcoa claims it agreed to the
-and-four plan as demanded
by the union. But the firm sought
to tack on provision that the
arrangement be subject to any fu-
ture adjustment in Federal Social
Security laws.
The nine plants facing walk
out are located at Alcoa, Tenn.
New Kensington, Pa. Badin, N. c.,
Bridgeport. Conn, Edgewater, N.
j., Detroit, Bauxite. Ark. Rich
mond, Ind. and Mobile. Ala.
Sixteen other ALCOA plants
will not be affected since their
workers are represented by other
unions. Only the Tennessee and
North Carolina plants produce
basic aluminium.
The stage was set for a new
effort by Government mediators
to end the basic steel strike. Cyrus

IF you visit the coal regions the
economic conditions would be self
evident that charity begins at

Coal Executive Hits Plan.
In Washington, John D. Battle.
executive vice president of the
National Coal Association, said
Mr.. Lewis proposal is proof that
the UNIV leader cannot justify
demands that will add to the labor
cost of coal.
This is the way Mr.. Battle
put it:
The inconsistency of holding
men out on strike, causing them
to lose badly needed wages, de-
priving them of the necessities OF
life, and at the same time offering
to give their money to another
union, should be apparent to all.
1T is an anomalous situation
when a man one day pleads pow
erty, and the next day becomes
a philanthropist.
Says Demand Is Unjustified.
Lewis is demanding more and
more money from the coal oper-
ators. This grand gesture of his
to give the miners money away
is proof that he cannot justify any
demand that will add further to
the already high labor cost Of
producing coal"
The steel strike has 100000
basic steelworkers idle. About
1856, 900 soft coal miners are out
of the pits and at least $4,000
workers in allied industries are
jobless because of the two walk
outs.
Another $4,000 may be added toI
the strike rolls if the steelworkers
strike the nine plants of ALUMNI
mum Co. of America in nine
States. Mr.. Murray set Sunday
midnight deadline but said today
he is prepared to resume negotia-
tons on his demand for free
pensions. There was no word
from ALCOA.
Charges False Statement.
Mr.. Murray said Alcoa issued
a false statement" charging the
steelworkers broke off negotiations.
He added "the company state
ment is in effect a lockout of its
workers"
Mr.. Murray said Alcoa's prop
osition on pensions would have
led to reduction in the COM
pany's pitifully inadequate re-
tirement payments to its old en-
ployes." He added:
Under the guise of so-called

security structure, the company
