Though bleeding to the heart;
Not ours to know the reason why
Why this anguish, strife and pain,
But ours to know a crown of

Sweet graces for us gain,
A cross, a bleeding heart and

9 AIcoa Plants 10 Face
Wa|kout Monday as
NEGOTIATIONS Break Off
BY the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 15.-Nine
plants of the giant Aluminium
Co. Of America face strike at
1901 am. Monday.
Alcoa and the CIO United Steel
workers Union last night broke
off pension and insurance nego-
tiations.
The company said the breakup
came after the union refused to
accept the pension and social in
surance plan offered by Alcoa.
Alcoa said 1t offered 6 cents for
pensions and cents for insur-
ance-just what the union is
seeking.
String Attached to Offer.
But Alcoa attached a string to
its offer: It insisted the pension
plan be subject to adjustment in
line with any future changes in
the social security laws.
That was the snag. Alcoa said
the union turned down the offer
fiat.
There was no immediate COM
ment from steelworker officials.
Aluminium would become the
third major industry to join the
strike parade. The Nations coal
miners and the steel workers
already are out.
The issues in the steel and
aluminium disputes are the same:
The steel workers want a wholly
company paid pension and insur-
ance program.
Would Affect 10000.
An Alcoa strike would affect
10000 workers in plants at Alcoa,
Tenn; New Kensington. Pa:
Badin. N. c.: Bridgeport, Conn;
Edgewater. N. j.; Detroit. Bauxite,
Ark; Richmond, Ind, and Mobile,
Ala.
A company spokesman said only
so per cent of Alcoa production
would be affected since workers at
its other 16 plants are represented
by AFL and other unions.
s. The spokesman said shutting
down operations will begin today
at Alcoa and Badin. These are
the only two basic aluminium max
ing plants involved. The huge
aluminium smelling pots must be
drained and banked.
The other plants are fabricating
units. There mere flick Of a
switch will halt the assembly lines
that turn out things like pots and
pans and modern furniture.

On Radio-N Shares
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. l5.-Radio-
television issues gathered the
lions share of demand today in
an otherwise quiet stock market.
Volume of trading was at the
rate of 100000 shares for the en-
tire day.
These stocks were fractions to
more than a point higher. while
others in the list made modest
gains or dropped behind.

part after starting out steady.
That proved a disappointment to
those who are looking for strength
in the rails to match the forward
march of the industrial issues IN
the rising market of the past four
months.
Steels were a shade on the
downside, while motors and utili-
ties were narrowly mixed.
Gold shares were neglected with
the exception of Homestake Min

at one time and set a new high
for the year en- route.

yesterday one leading custom
smelter cut the price Of lead "a OF

sharpest reduction in the current

of the reduction is a slowing down
