BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 19. - Ira
Mosher. an official Of the Ma
tional Association Of Manufacture
ers. went before a steel industry
fact finding board yesterday and
assailed the proceedings.
Leaders of the CIO United
Steelworkers walked out Of the
hearing being conducted by a
board appointed by President
Truman.
The union leaders did not re-
turn to the hearing until after
Mr.. Mosher. finance chairman of
the NAM, was through talking.
Mr.. Mosher. denouncing the
idea Of compulsory arbitration of
labor disputes, said the steel COM
panies should not have agreed to
the fact finding hearings which
were called in an effort to avert
a Nation wide steel strike.
Sees Insult to Board.
Arthur Goldberg, general coun-
sci for the union. declared:
I'VE have to take insults from
the parties to this dispute, but we
don't have to take them from the
outside"
Mr.. Goldberg said Mr.. Mosher
had insulted the three-man board
as well as the union,
When the employer representa-
tive appeared displeased, news
men asked John A. Stephens. vice
president Of United States Steel.
if he planned to answer Mr.. Mo-
sher's criticism.
1--WE have enough problems Of
our own," Mr.. Stephens said, add
ing:
After all, you know, the COM
panies didn't go running to Wash
ington when they were first noti-
fed Of this fact-flnding board"
Asks Genuine Bargaining"
Mr.. Mosher, former NAM presi-
dent who appeared before the
board during time allowed to COM
pany spokesmen, said he was not
speaking for the steel industry.
He urged that the wage increase
dispute which threatens a strike
should be sent back to the COM
panies and union for genuine
collective bargaining"
The union is demanding a
package" increase, including a
wage incraese of 1919 cents an
hour, pensions and insurance,
The union says the package
would cost the employers 80 cents
an hour per worker. Company
estimates of the cost range up to
more than twice that amount.
