Half million CLIO Stee|workers
Strike Over Pension Program;
Truman Refuses to Intervene
Nations Economy
Dealt Another
Gripping Blow
By the Associoted Press

PITTSBURGH, Oct. IA strike
by half million CIO-United steel
workers today shut down iron and
steel mills from coast to coast.
The walkout to enforce de-
mands for a pension and welfare
program paid entirely by the
operators dealt a crippling blow
to American industry. Coupled
with the two-week- old coal mine
strike, it threatens to disrupt
American economy.
There appeared little chance of
further Government intervention,
at least any time soon.
In Washington, White House
officials repeated today what they
said last night-that President
Truman has no plans to step into
the dispute again.
Picket lines at mill gates in 27
States generally were small and
quiet in the first Nation wide steel
strike since 1916. Plant gates in
Pittsburgh, Detroit and Cleveland
were circled by picket lines which
dwindled to mere handfuls several
hours after the strike began at
1901 am.
Philip Murray, president of the
steel workers and the CIO, gave
the signal which started the mid
night walkout.
Supervisory workers and fore
men passed through picket lines
without incident. They are al
lowed free entrance to keep mill
equipment in good shape to re-
sumo work whenever the strike
ends. No violence was reported
anywhere.
The strike does not apply to

They are Portsmouth Steel Co.,

luna Steel Corp, Pittsburgh;

vania. and Harrisburg PaD Steel
Co.
Portsmouth Steel. with 1000
workers, gave in to union de-
mands for a 10-cent hourly pack
age covering company-paid pen
sions and insurance for employees.
The rest of industry held out for
social security programs in which
workers would pay part of the
costs. Harrisburg Steels 1.500
workers are on the job because
negotiations are continuing under
a later strike deadline.
Allegheny Ludlum, which has
10000 employees, and Kaiser. with
about 1000, are still operating be-
cause their contracts run until
October Is. Those firms have not
yet received the unions demands.

Soviet Put Spies
In Army to0ust
Him, Tito Says
Intimidation Charged
In Note Replying to
Treaty Remuneration
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, Oct. Premier
Marshal Tito accused Russia to-
day of trying to infiltrate spies
into the Yugoslav Army and gov
ernment in an effort to overthrow
him.
The Yugoslav leader. replying
to Thursdays Soviet note scrap
ping the Russian -Yugoslav friend
ship treaty. charged that the So
Wet government. with diplo-
matte notes full of insults and
threats followed by troop move
ments in countries bordering
Yugoslavia. sought to intimidate
the Yugoslav people.
Hungary and Poland yesterday
followed Russia's lead in de-
nouncing their mutual aid treaties
with Yugoslavia. Other Soviet
satellites in the Cominform are
expected to take the same step
soon.
Note Shows Pain, Anger.
Tito's new note-its wording
mixed with pain and anger toward
Moscow-was reported here by
Tanjug, the official Yugoslav news
agency.
1T is we'll known that Soviet
representatives tried to organize
their agents within the Yugoslav
government and Yugoslav Army
with a view of overthrowing the
legal Yugoslav government" the
note said.
Russia's aim. it went on. was
to exert pressure on the Yugo-
slav people ''in order to realize
it's undemocratic and anti-social
ambitions"
War Psychosis Seen Aided.
In addition. the note charged:
l.. That Russia's remuneration OF
the treaty was "a contribution to
war psychosis" and betrays the
Soviet Unions "now-peace-loving
inteptions."
2. That Russia's policy and ac-
tions violated the principles of the
United Nations Charter.
3. That Russia organized the
trial in Budapest of Laszlo Rajk,
former Hungarian foreign minis
ter with the sole aim of getting a
pretext for denouncing the treaty.
Rajk was condemned to death a
week ago after confessing that he
plotted, with American help, to
overthrow Hungary's government
and substitute for it a regime
subservient to Tito.
Russia and the Tito regime nave
been quarreling since the Soviet
backed Cominform tossed Yugo-
slavia out Of its membership in
June. 1948.
Blackmail Charged.
Their pickering reached a eli
max with Russian denunciatiofl
of the 20-year assistance pact
which was signed during the war
in 1945. Russia backed its action
with an accusation that Tito's

Conferees 10 Act
On Pay Raises
For 1,385,00O
Final Measure May
Treat 49,, 900 Better
Than Anticipated

House-Senate conferees will
meet next week on bills that would
boost pay of 1885 900 Government
employees, with indications that
the final measure affecting $4,000
of these will be more generous
than had been anticipated.
The Senate late yesterday unex-
pectedly increased some amounts
in the pay reclassiflcation leg
isIation and paved the way for
more liberal adjustment for
about 175,oOO Federal and District
Government employees in this area.
The bills passed by the Senate
authorize pay raises totaling Sl71,-
100000 a year for the 885 900 civil
service employees and for 100000
postal workers. They differ from
earlier House-approved measures
in that the Senate version allows
an average raise Of about $125 q
year for the classified employees,
While the House average would be
about $113.
Langer Offers Amendment.
A last-minute amendment Of
fered by Senator LANCER, Repub-
lican, of North Dakota added an.
other $10o on top of the increases
that the Senate Civil Services
Committee had recommended for
Federal employees in the first four
CAT grades. This would mean
that classified employees earning
between $4,000 and $3,175 would
get between 5000 and $500 instead
of the $125 general increase.
In voting the additional $110..
100000 for pay increases for civil
service employees. the Senate also
adopted a provision for a $12,50o
ceiling on salaries for bureau heads
and top-ranking classified officials.
They now get up to $10,330. The
House bill would fix a new ceiling
of $4,000.
The Senate's pay boost bill for
! 500. 900 postal employees would cost
an additional SCI 100000 annually
and give an average annual in
crease of about 500 for almost all
regular postal employees. The bill
passed some time ago by the
House would give s150 average
| increase at an additional cost of
approximately $l80,0oo.00o.

I Senator Long said he under.
stood that the LANCER amendment
would provide that few Of the
lower-grade employees, who under
the committee bill would receive
less than a $100 increase, would
be assured of receiving at least
500. Instead. he declared. the
LANCER amendment would give all
employees in the first four grades
