Ching handed the dispute to the
President yesterday after twodays
of. fruitless meetings with steel
executives and officials of the c.
IO-United Steelworkers.
The mediation chief said big
steel stood firm on it's position
that any wage increase granted
the workers would have to come
from a government-approved price
boost.
Sterilization Director Putnam
has declared the government will
not permit an increase in steel
prices to pay for a wage boost,
although steel producers may be
entitled to increases under the
Capehart amendment to reflect
cost hikes prior to last July 26.
If the matter is turned over to
the wage board, the union will
probably be asked to postpone it's
Jan. 1 strike deadline while the
board conducts hearings in the
dispute.
The "no contract, no work" policy
announced by PhilipMurray, Presi-
dent of both the Steelworker and
the CLIO, would call 65O,O0Owork-
ers off their jobs when major
steel wac contracts expire Dec.

Refusal by the union to post

Even Keel in Week
OF Economic Storm
By Raider Winset


NEW YORK, Mar. 81. - The
stock market remained quiet
through a swirling economic storm
this week with prices ending on
average just about where they
started.
There were a number of major
economic Developments. indica-
tions Of changing trends. and
shifting political winds, but the
stock market maintained an even
keel.
The Associated Press average
Of so stocks was up on three days
and down on three days. 1t lost
20 cents today and stood at $92. go.
A week ago it was only 10 cents
higher.
Trading was so cautious that
only 7,179,0o0 shares changed
hands. That is the smallest total
for Six-day week since the week
ended October %, 1949.
,Deflationary Factors.
OF the forces showing the mar
ket up and down, the balance
sheet looked like this:
Deflationary factors:
l. Farm prices turned down
slightly for the first time since
the start Of the Korean war.
2. Two of the biggest mail order
house catalogs listed price cuts.
8. Price cuts at wholesale and
retail appeared in the television
industry.
4. Warnings abounded against
the effects of high inventories.
S. Temporary une m p oyment
appeared in automobile and elec-
tronic industries as production
was reduced by material shortages
for civilian goods and lack of
demand.
6. Economic s Stabilizer Eric
Johnston promised a tough policy
on corporate profits. statement
that was almost ignored in Wall
Street.
z. A fall in department store
sales Easter week to the lowest
point of the year.
Living Costs Mount.
On the other hand there were
tnlationary factors epitomized by
the increase in the cost of living
to the highest point ever recorded
1888 per cent of the 1858
average.
Any one who thought imitation
was lessening was asked to take
a look at these two factors
armament spending and capital
equipment expenditures.
Mobilization Director Charles E.
Wilson said defense spending is
running now at around $25, ,00O,-
100000 to $50, o,000, ,000, 900 a year,
and in the fiscal year starting
next July l it will step up to
$50. 900, ,o00. 900 a year. He hopes
to hold it at $50, 900 ,000, 900 for
two or three more years.
