they had been sparring at long
distance "by telegraph message"
for almost . week on how to treat
the findings Of President Truman's
steel fact finding board.
The argument, Mr.. Ching said,
seems to spring mot from irrecon-
cilable fundamental differences in
views, but from the meaning Of
words"
Wants to Reach Formula.
Declaring that a work stoppage
in steel would be disastrous, Mr..
Ching said:
II want to afford the parties
every reasonable opportunity to
come to a meeting Of minds and
to eliminate their misunderstand-
ings"
His aim, the Federal conciliator
added, is to arrive at general
formula" which can serve as q
base for practical decisions by
the industry and the steel workers
union.
President Truman had persuad-
ed the union and the steel COM
panies to agree to an 11-day truce
to study the recommendations Of
his fact-finding board issued last
Saturday.
Welfare 'Packag &c" Proposed.
The Presidents board recon-
against the wage increase
demanded by the union, but
counseled adoption Of q pension
package" paid for by
the companies which would raise
the operating costs Of most steel
makers by 10 cents an hour for
each employe.
The union. headed by Philip
who also is president Of
C1O itself, expressed its willing
ness to accept the 10-cent package
Of fringe benefits. The steel in
dustry, however, has baked at
agreeing to paying the full cost
Of the pension insurance program
and wishes to negotiate further
on this point.
Fundamentally the split is over
whether renewal Of contract talks
shall be based on actual accept
ance Of the boards findings, or
on mere adoption Of the findings
as the takeoff point for unre-
stricted negotiations.
Argue for Acceptance.
The steelworkers argue for full
acceptance Of the boards theories.
No steel company has said it will
accept the pension insurance pro-
gram to be financed entirely by
the industry.
Mr.. Ching said in his statement
that 1t is his duty Ito determine
what is obstructing the collective
bargaining which should avert a
disastrous stoppage Of work and
Operations in this important in
dustry."
His invitation went out to all
firms locked in the dispute with
the CIO Steel Workers Union.
Mr.. Ching was asked If this
indicated he intended working
out a single agreement with the
industry and union.
II don't intend to meet with
every indiVdual company because

vised them that operators had
"dishonored" an agreement on
welfare royalties. He contended
that was not q strike call, but the
courts disagreed.
Van Horn Resigns.
The trustees meeting yesterday
was followed by the sudden resig-
nation Of the operators trustee.
Ezra Van Horn. He wrote coal
owners he wanted to step out
right away. In fact. he warned
that II they don't name q sue
cessor promptly he will 60 to court
to force them to do so.
Trustees for the separate
anthracite, or hard coal, welfare
fund also suspended payments in
definitely, thereby insuring that
all UNIV miners and their families
would do without them for the
time being.
This may lead to walkout next
week of the 10000 hard coal
miners too.
A UNIV district president in
Hazleton, Pa. reported a grow
ing sentiment" that hard coal
miners will mot work until the
fund question is settled"
Independent Union Paying.
About the only union miners
reasonably certain to stay on the
Job were the $4,000 members of
the independent progressive Mine
Workers Union. John w. Marchi-
ando, head Of that union, said the
unions welfare fund has plenty
of money and Is continuing its
payments.
As for the UNIV. the latest
figures Mr.. Lewis aides have re-
leased show that in the year ended
last July l, q total Of about $780,
900 miners, members Of their
families. and widows Of miners,
obtained benefits from the soft
coal welfare fund.
The sum expended for the year
was $104,es0,785. About $4,000
miners aged so or more have beenl
drawing 500 monthly pensions.
The fund had been running out
Of money even before some coal
owners, particularly those In the
South, began refusing to continue
rolayties. The cost of the funds
benefits was simply outdistancing
its revenues.
Suspension Urged by Bridges.
Senator Bridges. Republican, Of
New Hampshire q trustee along
with Mr.. Van Horn and Mr.. Lewis,
told newsmen the soft coal well
fare fund had dwindled from
$50, ,000. 900 on July / to $14,000,-
900 on September /. It's probably
even lower now.
Senator Bridges also said that
he sponsored the move to suspend
benefit payments Immediately. He
was reported to have argued that
It was only a matter of time before
It would have to be done anyway
and action had best be taken while
the fund was solvent.
Mr.. Lewis reportedly wanted the
trustees to vote the suspension as
Of some future date. He finally
went along with Senator Bridges
motion. Mr.. Van Horn was re-
ported as the only one voting
against discontinuing the benefits.
The trustees also voted to segre-
gate and not spend the royalty
money scme operators are continu-
ing to pay without obligation in
anticipation of new contracts.
Senator Bridges and Mr. Van
Horn agreed to and the $35, 900
annual allowances they had been
drawing as trustees. Mr.. Lewis
had never drawn an allowance.

The most crucial fact to which adjust minds and

From now on trans-oceanic, inter-hemispheric air

1t is fact which orpedoes many established ideas on

eve don't wear clothes for pro
lection from the police or the

what they do for u.s."
She emphasized that in plan
ming ones wardrobe one should
know her needs, make a plan TO
be followed in purchasing, buy
by the season or the year and
make the basic purchases the best
one can afford.
However, she warned against
seasonal fads.
