Steel Talks in Recess
Till Monday as Union
Shows Impatience
By jones Y. Newton

Steel industry peace talks today
were in recess until Monday after
the CIO United Steelworkers
showed increasing impatience over
failure to reach contract agree
ment with producers.
The unions Executive Board
warned that its patience was mot
inexhaustible" This was regard
ed as hint that, in the absence
of agreement with producers, the
Government should deal directly
with the union if further trouble
is to be avoided.
"The time is overdue for a
settlement based on the (Wage
StabiliZation) Boards recon-
mendations." the union board said
in a resolution.
Would Adopt Pay Raise.
The Government repeatedly was
willing to put into effect the Wage
Boards money contract proposals,
including an immediate wage in
crease of 1879 cents an hour.
However, an official said the
Government hardly could agree to
give the union shop, another Of
the recommendations of the WSB.
Under the union shop all employees
of a company are compelled to
join the union within a stated
period of time, usually 80 days.
The union shop issue is one Of
the main barriers to agreement
with the steel companies.
Compromise Offered.
There have been discussions
about a modified form of union
shop. This compromise would
exempt present employees of the
industry who do not wish to join
the union. But all new workers
would be compelled to take out
union cards.
Some of the steel companies re-
portedly are willing to accept this
compromise. Others are rot.
Philip Murray. head of both the
CIO and steel union, was said to
have agreed to it at one stage Of
negotiations if the companies
would accept the WSB wage and
other money proposals.
The steel union already has
union shop agreements with a
number of companies, mostly in
the fabricating end of the steel
business.
Few. if any, developments were
expected in the dispute over the
week end.
Eight Plants Released.
Peace talks were recessed until
Monday afternoon by Acting De-
Ifense Mobilizer John r. Steelman
and Federal Wage Chief Nathan
P. Feinsinger.
The two officials have been con-
Iducting company-union meetings
here since President Truman seized
the steel industry Tuesday night
to head off a Nation wide strike.
Little progress toward a settle
ment had been made in the talks.
Meanwhile. the Commerce De-
partment, operator of the mills
for the Government. released
from seizure eight small steel ia
cilities because they were not in
volved in the dispute.
And the United States Steel
Corp. filed suit in District Court
attacking legality of seizure and
Government operation of it's
plants. Four other big companies
earlier had combined for a court
test of the constitutionality of the
Presidents action.

parents of teen-age drug addicts
to send them to the United States

Only year ago the hospital

trend of drug addiction in many
sections of the country has caused
the vacancies.
The Bureau of Narcotics hopes
to fill the $50 vacant beds with
teen7agers so that "the marked
downward progress in teen-agt
drug addiction will continue"
However, the fact that there i.
