PITTSBURGH "a - The CLIO
United Steelworkers plugged away
today at the steel industry's small
companies while top producers con-
tinued to ignore its demands for
settlement Of the 30-day steel
strike.
So far the union has come to
terms with 81 steel producing
firms allowing better than $1,000
men to resume work. The bulk of
the union membership-ab0ut 600,-
600 lis still waiting for q new con-
tract.
Latest to sign is Harrisburg
(Pa.) Steel Corp. which employs
1850 workers. The plant viii re-
sumo production Immediately.
The firm signed a pact Monday
night calling for a wage increase
Of approximately Is cents an hour,
modified union shop, six paid holi-
days and three weeks vacation an
nually for Is years service.
The modified union shop means
employees must join the union but
can withdraw between their 10th
and 30th day Of employment.
Meanwhile, leaders Of the union
are meeting with other small com.
panies across the nation bat the
sessions are closely guarded Sc
crets-none of the companies has
been identified.
One big reason fur the secrecy
Is that the Steelworkers' chief,
Philip Murray, fears the big pro-
ducers win bring pressure on the
smaller firms and block possible
agreements.
The big companies, like U. S.
Steel Corp, the nations top pro-
Queer, are bitterly opposed to the
union shop issue. It was one of
the recommendations the Wage
Stabilizaton Board made when 1t
attempted to avert the costly
strike.
Only Monday u. s. Steel sent
letters to all Of Its employees saying

Many of the smaller firms have

The paralyzing strike which be.

into the nations economy in gener.
al and the national defense pro-
gram in particular.
Idleness in industries dependent
on steel for raw material has al
ready passed the $50. 900 mark and
is mounting rapidly. Many of the
Steelworkers are seeking financial
assistance from welfare agencies.

Negro Playground
Receive Money In
Proposed Budget

Representing the Recreation
Park Committee, Charles Major,
GOT Petronia ST., last night re-
quested that the City Of Key West
provide as appropriation for addi-
tional equipment in the negro
Fairgrounds.
''This is the first time the City
has been approached for money
by the organization" explained
Major.
Both the Navy and the City
have, in the past, donated money
to the project but the amounts
we're insufficient to secure enough
equipment such as volley balls,
swings, see-saws, etc.
City Manager Dave King in
formed Major that he had already
anticipated the request and had
provided in the proposed budget
the sum of $1750.
From this amount, white and
colored Fairgrounds would each
receive $500. An additional amount
of $3.50. would also 60 to Douglass

Street Extension Appears
Likely For School Children
STREET EXTENSION
LAND MAY BE
EXCHANGED
BETWEEN CITY
AND XVII COMPANY

The exchange Of properties be-
tween the City and Key West I'm.
provement Company necessary
to accomplish an extension of 18th
st. to Roosevelt Blvd. - has been
delayed temporarily by the City
Commission pending further infor-
nation. There is every likelihood
that it will be accomplished soon,
however.
City Manager Dave King inau-
gurased the action last June 10th
when he wrote A. E. Golan, of the
Key West Improvement Company,
requesting that a "swap" of land
be accomplished so that the 18th.
st. extension would lead directly
into Sigsbee Road. Otherwise, the
new street would have to be put
across City-owned land several
hundred feet north of the Sigsbee
Park entrance. This would add to
the traffic hazards of the intersec-
lion.
II Is proposed that the City of
Key West give an equal portion of
its land whcih borders the Key
West Improvement Co. for a like
amount Of the Company's land.
On June 16, Golan requested adj
ditional information and was for
warded blueprints Of the area. Yes.
terday, Mr.. King received letter
from Vincent Conley, of the I'm
provement Co., stating in part:
sit is our earnest desire to CO.
operate with you, and the propos-
al you have outlined is entirely ac-
eptable to us. II you will have the
necessary papers drawn and for
ward them to us, we will submit
them to our counsel for approval.
You may rest assured that there
will be no delay on our part.
1--WE appreciate the many court
estes you have extended to us,
and it Is a pleasure to do what
ever we can TO make the dreams
for a better Key West come true"
This 18th. st. extension is a mat
Ger Of prime Importance to the
school children from Sigsbee Park
who win attend Poinciana School
next year. II will provide a short
or route by at least two miles to
the school as well as do much to
alleviate traffic jams which now
occur on Flagler Ave. during the
peak traffic flow hours Of the
morning and afternoon.

Water. Shut-Off
Saves $1,000
Gallons A Day

The 5000 gallons of water each
day being saved by the early
morning shut off of water are be-
ing consumed as fast as they are
saved, Ernest Ramsey, manager
of the Florida Keys Aqueduct COM
mission reported.
There are no water reserves In
Key West. Just as fast as the
water comes down the 100 mile
pipeline II is used by the ever
growing number OF consumers In
the Keys and Key West, Ramsey
said.
The shut-off merely saves these
gallons for consumption during the
daytime hours. Each morning at
lis the water Is turned off thru
out the Island until AIS q. m. After
that users turn on their faucets
hopefully and get . gallon more
