Secretary of Defense Wilson

that military officers on duty in

For junior officers, particularly
reservists serving two or three
years of active duty, the order
poses something of a financial
crisis. AS one said: I've put
$500 into uniforms it appears

'Stee|workers
Upset by Threat

NEW YORK, June % (P).-
Stalemated steel contract nego-
tiations are tobogganing toward
IA strike deadline of midnight
next Saturday.
The crux Of the dispute be-
tween management and the
United Steelworkers of America
lies in the industry's insistence
on a five-year contract and the
unions rundown of the stand
pat" proposal.
Union refusal of a long-term
contract focuses the spotlight on
what labor considers its buga-
boo of the characterization
The industry says it wants a
Ifive-year contract to avoid an
lnual strike threats and freedom
to proceed with plant expansion
for the good Of the companies,
workers and the Nations busi-
ness.
Mortgage on Future" Seen
Past contracts have run for
two years with a wage reopener.
Should the unions $50, 900
workers in basic steel walk out
the effects will reverberate
throughout the entire economy.
David j. Mcdonald, union
president, says acceptance of a
f1ve-year pact would require
steelworkers and their families
to mortgage an unpredictable
future"
Union sources have expressed
fear that automation and new
industrial techniques would lead
to a drastic shakeup in the
present work force.
Referring to the industry's
wage raise offer-a management
estimated 7.3 cents an hour each
year for five years--a union man
said:
What good is a wage in
crease if new techniques put
you out Of a job?"
Pay Increase Discontinued
Mr.. Mcdonald has contended
the direct wage offer amounts to
only a nickel" in actual take
home pay.
Management has agreed to a
52-week layoff pay program asked
by the union and has offered
compromises in premium pay,
vacation. holiday and other
benefits.
Union sources said they be-
lieve agreement could be worked
out on most issues, although Mr..
Mcdonald has labeled the entire
industry proposal as inadequate.
Yesterday. John A. Stephens,
United States Steel vice presi-
dent. stated in behalf of IL steel
firms that the industry will be
forced to start cooling it's fur
naces Wednesday or Thursday
IF the union persists in its an
nounced intention to strike"
Denies Showdown Plan
Mr.. Stephens. appearing yes
terday before newsmen and tele-
vision cameras prior to a nego-
tiation session. denied a charge
by Mr., Mcdonald that the IL
firms had conspired to force a
shutdown. ~
Said Mr.. Stephens:
Nothing could be farther
from the truth -. it is the
union that wants annual crises
in steel, not the companies"
Conceding that companies are
presenting a united front. Mr..
Stephens added. IF they didn't
