SteelWorkers
Strike Nine
|Alcod Plunts

Pittsburgh (LPA)-As the steel
strike entered it's third week, the
/ United Steelworkers struck nine
plants of the Aluminium Company
of America on Oct. II.
The 10000 ALCOA employees
went out when the company refus-
ed to meet the exact terms of the
unions demand for a non-contri-
butory welfare and pension plan.
Last minute efforts by William
Margolis, assistant director of the
Federal Mediation & Cancellation
Service, to avert the strike were
unavailing.
President Philip Murray of the
Steelworkers and of the national
CIO said the union never broke off
negotiations with ALCOA and was
ready to resume talks at any time.
He charged that a company state
ment that negotiations were broken
off amounted to "a lockout of its
workers.
ALCOA manufacturers half of
the aluminium supply. However,
only so percent of its operations
were reported affected by the strike
since other unions than the Steel
workers represent employees of the
company's 16 remaining plants.
Cyrus S. Ching, chief of the
Federal Mediation & Cancellation
Service, continued his efforts to
bring about settlement in steel.
He was scheduled to meet in New
York on Oct. 10 with spokesmen
for the United States Steel Corp
oration. He already had talked with
officials of Bethlehem Steel and
Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.
There were rumors that Ching's
talk with Big Steel might be the
first step in a move by President
Truman to end the deadlock be-
tween the steel industry and the
union.
Bolstering this line of specula-
tion was the statement of DIR. Ed-1
win G. Nourse, chairman of Mr..
economic advisers, that
the economic problems posed by
the steel and coal strikes would
reach Crucial stage" if the
strikes are not settled soon. In ad
dition, Secretary of Commerce
Charles Sawyer estimated that five
million might be unemployed by
Dec. /, unless the disputes were
settled soon.
United Mine Workers negotia-l
,ors led by John l.. Lewis were
scheduled to resume talks with BIZ
luminous operators on Tuesday,
Oct. 18. Nobody knew what chances
here were of breaking down the

Over 700 Attend
Picnic Party Of
Local Union 218

! Terrence, Calf. - The first an
nual picnic of Local Union 218,
turned out to be a huge success,
enjoyed by more than 100 people,
including the management, second
vice president Frank Hull and or
ganizer George Pace.
The picnic party was held at the
beautiful Hollywood Riviera Beach
Club, with access to the beach,
swimming pool, dining lounges,
dance floor and bar.
AS is customary according to
the California Chamber of Com
merce), it was most extra ordin-
airy day as for weather, not a trace
of smog or fog.
For a thoughtful few who
brought swimming apparel, beach
fun, lunges and plunges were en-
joyed in the high waves and salty
sea breeze.
Most of the morning was spent
in visiting, greeting and getting
acquainted, especially by wives
and playful children. At noon fine
meal was served cafeteria style
and all had their fill.
The afternoon program included
games for children in the younger
bracket, with the older tots dis
playing their vocal talents over
the microphone. All children re-
ceived gifts.
The Athletic Swim Club gave
very exciting performance to the
enjoyment of all who could crowd
around the crystal clear water and
withstand the splashes of three of
the most graceful swimmers on the
coast.
Dancing was the main feature on
the evening program with music
being furnished by one of the fin
est colored swing bands in this
part of the country. A rumba con-
test was held with the prize going
to Eddie, our lazy greenware in
spector.
A special vote of thanks was ex-
tended the entertainment commit
tee consisting of Ray Cook, w.
Cottrell and w. Howell. Also we
wish to thank Dave Jurk, E. ].
Cunningham, T. Brink, j. Shaeffer,
L. weigand and all others for their
part in making the party huge
success.
In closing the writer wishes to
inform all that in the future, more
and more will be heard from this
new but well organized local.

Seeks Answer To
Query If Murray
Asked For HeIp

Washington (LPA) = President
William Green of the American
Federation Of Labor has replied
formally to the proposal of John L.
Lewis, head of the United Mine
Workers, that the UNIV and the
AFL set up a $2,5OO,0O0 a week
strike fund to aid the United Steel
workers.
Green reminded Lewis that the
AFL unions are autonomous, and
that each union "must determine
for itself as to whether it could or
would disburse one-quarter of
million dollars per week for an in
definite period as suggested in
your communication"
Green wrote that the officers Of
each AFL union "to whom your
proposal might be submitted would
Immediately inquire if President
Murray of the Steelworkers re-
quested you to solicit $250,000 per
week" from ten AFL unions, and
asked Lewis whether his proposal
was based "on request you re-
ceived from Mr.. Murray for finan-
cial assistance" Green's letter said
"this inquiry, would, in my judg-
ment, be made by international Of
ficers because Mr.. Murray has
never either directly or indirectly
requested any financial assistance"
from the AFL or the AFL unions.
Green asked Lewis to answer his
query so that Green could, ain the
event it seems necessary" trans
nit the reply to the Executive
Council and the unions "when your
suggestion and proposal may be
brought to their attention"
The AFL chieftain declared "the
crying need for the establishment
and maintenance of united labor
movement is being emphasized
over and over again. The question
is and should be answered-shall
we have a united labor movement
or shall we continue divided and
He continued: THE
pooling of labor's resources, while
divided, as it is today, is impossible
and impracticable."
Murray, in a statement issued in
the day after the Lewis
and before Green's reply
was made public, had said he had
consistently advocated unity of
action by all responsible and gen.
line American trade unions" He
said the Steelworkers and "other
minded affiliates" of the
CIO were ready to join the Mine
Workers and the AFL unions "to
pool their resources for the COM
non defense and general welfare of
he labor movement" Such fund,
ne said, ''must obviously be avail
able to the members of the United
Nine Workers. The Steelworkers,
lie declared, "will lend help and
assistance to the mine workers and

scientists who worked on the Dom
ora survey were present at the con-
ference.
However, Ewing admitted the
survey did not mean that Donora
and similar communities would
automatically be shielded from
future pollution disasters. Under
questioning by Frank Burke, Dir
ector of Safety & Health for the
Steelworkers, he pointed out that
the Division of Industrial Hygiene
had no power to enforce the cor
rective recommendations made in
the preliminary report.
Putting the recommendations
into effect is up to the American
Steel & Wire Co., a US Steel sub
sidiary owning most of the plants
around Donora, the city of Donora,
the Pennsylvania legislature or
the United Steelworkers them
selves.
Burke announced that the Steel
workers, armed with the report,
planned to go to American Steel
& Wire and demand action. He
also said he believed the Donora
city council would pass an ordin-
ance putting the recommendations
into effect. At one point the Amer
lean Steel & Wire Co. shrugged off
the entire disaster as an "act of
Cod"

released at a press conference in
the office of Oscar R. Ewing, Fed

"This report reveals for the first
