The stoppase originated as a

against what the union called
"stalling" in the Chicago negotia-
tions. The company replied by
laying off lit package handlers
and drivers. It also announced
5000 others would be furloughed

At the same time, the company
clamped an embargo on express
shipments of less than carload
lots moving into and out of the
New York area.
Brotherhood Aid Sought.
The unions threat to picket the
city's passenger terminals was
seen as a move to induce the af-;
fected railroads to press for set
tlement of the dispute.
The unions district board has
voted to ask 20 other railroad
brotherhoods to honor the picket
lines. These brotherhoods include
flremen. enginemen. conductors,
switchmen, dispatchers and engi-

on the job.

Plants Using Steel
Face Suspension in
; Weeks 10 Month
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

PITTSBURGH, Oct. IA steel
strike Of any length chokes off the
supply Of goods you want and
need. It also spreads unemploy-
ment far and wide.
If the present strike Of $4,000
CIO United Steelworkers lasts
three weeks or a month, shortages
of steel products will begin to
pinch. Strike-idle jobless in addi-
ton to the steelmakers may reach
100000.
Thousands Of companies In
every state would have to suspend
manufacturing operations for lack
of the raw steel they use to turn
out everything from hairpins to
autos
Drain on JobleSs Funds.
The general overall estimate is
that the country has steel back
log Of from three weeks to a
month. After that, production of
cars, refrigerators, gas ranges and
other products would have to stop.
The furloughed workers would
put costly drains on state unem-
ployment systems.
The automobile industry's Big
Three-General Motors, Chrysler
and Ford-Said they have enough
steel on hand to continue opera
tions for three or four weeks. Auto
makers buy 18 per cent OF all the
steel made.
1916 Strike Recalled.
A glance back at the last big
steel strike in 1946 shows what a
stoppage can do to the nations
economy.
About 100000 unionists went on
strike for about a month in Jan
uary and February in support of
demands for a 81 a day wage in
crease.
The American Iron and Steel
Institute figured the strikers lost
S120,000,00O on wages. Companies
lost $330,000,000 in sales. The
strike cost 100000 tons of steel
production which was badly need
ed for postwar conversion. War
time shortages of steel goods and
high prices were extended by the
strike.
The union ended that strike by
accepting a compromise offer pro-
posal made by President Truman
for an 1872 cent hourly pay boost.
That lifted their average hourly
earnings to $1.65.
