But Christmas in the Ondala home this year won't count at all, for there's not even a roof the family can call it's own this year.

Steel Workers Will Get Pension Or They Will Strike

WASHINGTON, (P) - Philip Murray declared today that the only hope of averting a strike of 1,000,000 CIO-steel workers is through settlement of their pen sions dispute at government-ar- ranged conciliatiOn sessions.
 Murray said the only chance of sidestepping a strike scheduled for next Sunday lis to conclude a set clement here and now on the basis of the boards recommendations"
 He referred to the recommnda- tions of a Prsidential fact-finding board. The board recommended no fourth round wage increase but proposed package" of company financed pensions and social in- surance to cost up to 10 cents per hour per worker.
 Murray said:
 We are ready and we will pro-
