More Contract Items
Placed Before Farley
ByCI0 SteeIworkers
BY the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 28.-The
CIO-United Steelworkers, building
up their case for a sixth pay in
crease since World War II, placed
more contract demands on the ta-
BILE today in continuing negotia-
tions with the giant United States
Steel Corp.
Big negotiating teams of more
than 40 men each gathered for
the second day for bargaining,
which is likely to have important
effects on the Nations economy
At the end of the first FIVE
hour meeting. Vice President John
A. Stephens of big Steel issued
a joint statement for himself ano
President Philip Murray Of the
CIO and steelWorkers.
Considering Union Program.
I'VE devoted the day to con-
sideration of the program pre-
sented by the union." Mr.. Steph-
ems said. He predicted the pre-
sentation would require at least
three days.
Mr.. Stephens also told an i'm
promptu news conference that
both sides have agreed to drop a
curtain of comparative silence
around negotiations in the belief
that this would improve harmony
behind the closed doors.
Mr.. Murray hasn't said what
kind of wage increase he wants
for steelworkers now earning an
hourly average Of $197. He mere
ly asks for a substantial wage
increase and says its amount is
negotiable.
5 Cents Unsatisfactory.
Under present Federal wage
ceilings, the union cannot get a
raise of more than 4 or 5 cents
an hour under the Wage StabiliZa-
ton Boards present formula. Mr..
Murray and various aides have
declared emphatically that raise
of or 5 cents would not be salts
factry. That situation has led to
many predictions that the 1851
wage settltment will be made in
Washington.
The union has a 1851 wage
policy which lists % demands.
The wage increase goal is No. 1
on the list. Other demands
include a guaranteed annual wage,

JAMS heart sank halfway back

had not forgotten a thing. She
wondered now if Ray had been

must expect Ray to look different

be prepared for this change in
him.
And she must remember the
nurses warning, not to excite him

There was someone else in the
