U. S. Steel Truce
PITTSBURGH, Nov, 10.— (AP) —Rumors of a quick
end of the most costly steel strike in American history
spread like wild fire through the steel capital today.
They came as negotiators for big U. S. Steel Corpora
tion prepared to talk peace with Philip Murray, president
of the CIO Unite_d Steelworkers.
Neither big steel nor Murray
would comment.
But Murray called his powerful
Wage-policy Committee to meet
here (3 p. m.,, EST) tomorrow,
Some people think that means
big steel will make an offer today
—and that the Wage Policy Com
mittee will accept it tomorrow.
Today’s peace talk came on the
heels of a strike-ending contract
with” Youngstown Sheet & Tube
Company, employing 19,000.
Shortly before last midnight
‘Great Lakes Steel at Detroit
reached a similar agreement for
ifs 10,000 employes.
Those rapid-fire developments
brought to five the number of ma
jor steel producers who have
agreed to Murray’s demands for
non-contributory pensions,
Youngstown Sheet & Tube's
contract calls for SIOO monthly
pensions to workers aged 65 with
25 years’ service., If a worker is
entitled to a S7O monthly pension
from his social security payments
the company will pay S3O to make
his pension total SIOO.
The contract calls for a five
cent-an hour social insurance pro
gram, Workers will pay two and
one-half cents. The company will
do the same. .
The Great Lakes’ was virtually
the same. Both practically dupli
cate the Bethlehem pattern.
Bethlehem Steel Corporation
broke the back of the strike by
signing with Murray last week.
Republic Steel Company and
Jones & Laughlin Steel Corpora=
tion soon fell in line.
All told, settlements have been
reached with 48 large and small
companies who employ 200,000,
That leaves 309,000-many em
ployed by big steel—still on strike.
Four-Year-Old
Loses To Cancer
PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov, 10 —
(AP) — An eight-mcnths battle |
against cancer has come to an end
for Bobby Byers. }
The four-year-old youngster, |
who touched a nation 5 heart with
a plea for mail, died in the Good
Samaritan Hospital lasi night. He
slipped into a coma early in the
afternoon and never regained
consciousness.
Blond, and once chubby, Bob
by’s condition first became known
last June after an operation.
Prior to that he had cnly com
plained of being tired, but finally
told his mother:
“Mommy I hurt.”
He was placed in bed and one
of his greatest joys in life was
to wait for the postman,
“Mommy, did the mailman
leave anything for me tcday?” he
would ask his mother.
News stories of Bobby’s wish
soon brought response from all
parts of a sympathetic nation and
some foreign countrizs. Mail came
by the truckload. More than 200,-
000 pieces had been received when
‘the grateful parents, Ir. and Mrs.
H. J. Byers of Phoenix, stopped
’counting. i

Lewis Fails To Attend
Coal Peace Conference
. g i
Wires Gov't
Re-Schedule
Talks Monday
- WASHINGTON, Nov. 10,
— (AP) — John L. Lewis
failed to show up today for
a coal peace conference
called by the government.
Instead, he sent a terse wire
saying he would see the
federal mediators on Mon
day.
It amounted to a sharp slap in
the face to Cyrus Ching, Federal
mediation chief. It left him, too,
pretty much in the positioh of the
‘parson when the bride-to-be
| doesn’t show up for the wedding,
- Ching was there, fuming. The
soft coal operators were there,
- But no Lewis.
In fact, it was something of a
mystery where Lewis was., Aides
of the bushy-browned union lead
~er with the fiair for the dramatic
said they did not know.
~ Ching was plainly burned up.
First, he fired a telegram to
United Mine Workers headquart
ers asking Lewis for “clarifica
tion.” But he didn't even know
whether Lewis vvould see it.
Then Ching delivered a report
to the White House that Lewis had
cooly turned down a bid to a peace
conference,
Ching called for his car and
sped to the White House himself
to make the report.
Ching talked with John R.
Steelman, a presidential assistant.
While Ching was at the White
House, the UMW made public a
telegram it said Lewis had sent in
response to Ching’s request tor
“clarification.”
This said that Lewis’ earlier
wire “was based on the fact that
the mine workers representatives
would be fully eccupied until
Monday in securing maximum re
sumption of coal production.” |
It added: ; S A
“Monday afternoon first avail=
able moment mineworkers’ dele~
gation can attend meeting your of
fice.
“Representation will be present
at that time unless you notify oth
erwise.” |
Where's Lewis |
Even after they made the tele-‘
gram public, aides to Lewis claim=
ed they did not know where Lewis
was, ‘
President Truman was holding
his regular Thursday news con
ference about the time Ching was
knocking on Steelman’s acor.
The Lewis-Ching situation had
not come to light and the ques
tions to Mr. Truman did not deal
with it.
The President was asked what
might be the administration’s next
move in the coal situation.
He wouldn’t say about that.
No Comment
Nor would the President com
rent on Lewis’ order of yesterday
sending the coal miners back to
work for three weeks.
Instead of a comment, the Pres
ident said of Lewis:
- His picture iz there on the front
page of the Washington Post.
Take a look at it,
The Post picture was an AP
wirephoto of a glowering Lewis
in Chicago.
Mr. Truman was asked if he
thought the steel settlements would
have been reached and the coal
strike called off—at least tem
porarily—if the Taft-Hartley Act
' had not been hanging over the
\ unions.
The President, who wants the
Taft-Hartley law repealed, said he
couldn’t say. He suggested that the
question be put up to management
and labor negotiators.
When Ching headed for the
White House, he indicated to re
porters that he was ready to wash
}his hands of Lewis, leaving the
' coal situation on the White House
| doorstep.
Ching had outlined to the news
men the whole series of events
since he asked Lewis and the op
| erators to the peace meeting.

Diplomatic sources said they had

Germany an international voice

Broad policy revisions were be
