At you know. ooBective bargaining aego- tiationa with the Union broke down at the White Hooae yesterday afternoon, beeauee Mr. Murray then refuaed to budge from Ma position that a country-wide steel strike must take place, unless steel workers are granted a gmeral wage increase of 19Vk cents an hour. Our offer of a wage increase of 16 oenti an hour was again rejected by the Union. raise sudi average straight-time pay tollJB an hour, placing such pay ampQf the highest today in an of Ameri^ indastry. As you must be aware, your proposal la almost equivalent to granting in full the Union’s revised demand of a wage increase of 19Vi cents an hour, which waa advanced* by Philip Murray, the President of the Union, at our collective bargaining oonfereoce with the Union in New York a week ago today In bur opinion, there is no just bRsia from any point of view for a wage increase to our steel workers <ff the large sife you have pro* poaed, which, if put into effect, is certain to leauit in great ftnandal harm not only tv this CorpwatioQ but also to nsera of ateel in general. The Union threatened to go ahead with its program for a national steel strike at midnight next Sunday, although such a strike will be a clear violation of the no- strOce provision contained in our labor con tracts with the Union, which continue by their terms until October 16, 1946. , From tbe outset, we have recognised how injurious a steel strike will be to reconver sion aind to the economy of this whole coun try. Most industries are dependent upon a supply of steel for their continued opera- tiona. We have done everything reasonably within ouriKHver to avert such a strike. If a strike occura, the responsibility rests with the Union. Under our offer of a 16 cent inacaaa, tha average weekly take-home pay of our steel workers for a forty-hour we^ would amount to f61.M, assuming that no overtfane to in volved. This figure is only $4.64 lees than the actual average weekly earnings of these employees, including overtime, in tbe laet .full war year of 1944, when the average work week was 46.1 hours. The difference' is really leas, because we will undoubtedly continue to have overtime in the futu^ Just as we have at the present time. In Novem- ' ber, 1946, overtime premiums to our steel woi^ers aggregated more than $1,M>0J)09. Such reduction of $4A4 in weekly take-home pay to the natural consequence of a shorter work week of forty hours, and therefore one , of lower production. ^ notbce ml, luC S.

CARL OGBURN NOTICE to opornlo a fMafl at Mahl liTSSSS' of IMM' ‘ Aa 1 have tried to make clear to yon and other Government officiala during our oon- fbnnoes to Washington over tbe past few dm tiMit to a limit in the extenito whkh torn Unioit vrage demands can be met by aa» We i«edM0 that limit when we raised our tiktito Union last Friday from a wage . towvEt c®nta en hour to one of IS MEp EMi kliML- . Thto would constitute tbe increase ever made t(y atof stoahNM^g subsidiaries. Our offer ef p^QlpE was equivalent to iqpeting 60% of fjp-ld^nion’a original exceasive demand of a "M n Say general wage toeveese. Our oto met 75% of the Union’s final propoaal of h wage increase of 19H cents an boon A VMife increase of 16 cents m hour, such as we of- fared, would Ineteeae the direct labor coato of our manufteturing subeidiartos by ap proximately 960J)00,000 a year. HuA to a noat subEtantial sum, and aceount tbe higher costs we Mudl have to pay tor puivliaead goods antowHm whdn totoN ftneraSy When the Government at the eleventh hour intormed us about a week ago of its wiUingness to aanctiM an ihcreaae in steel eeifing prices, we at oi)pe returned collective bergaining nm^Uona with the Union. Such frier action by'the Government was a rec ognition by It of the right of the steel in dustry to recMve f^rice relief because of past beayy inereasea In oofta, something which the steel industry for many months has un- aucoesafully sou^ to eatabliab with OPA I ahoubUilto again to point out some per tinent facts relative to the wages of our steel workers. mmHiM Ayrtmn «■ Mt aim • mMuiMiI Iiwimi h ||Mi Since January, 1941, the average etraight- time hourly gay, wit^t overtime, of our steel wdffkera |iae increased more than the 88% inereast-in. the post of living during that period, recently compiited by Govem- ment autiiorittoe. Steel workers’ wages have hept pace with inereaaed ttving costs. Such sverage stndpit-tiine pay' In eur steel-pro- duclag eubshbriee was $1.14 an hour tn each of the iMntlis of Septeisliir# October. «nd NoviBrtier IM6, eEghaffarny overtime Igemioig aod'jMy aMewto pr eowuetton el j8|i§lltoi|EHIei. An increase of li its, to asgigiiMi with our oUm toeoU Much as we desire to avoid a steel strike, we cannot overlook the effect both on this Corporation and on our customers aiKl American business to general, of the liV^ cent an hour wage increase, which you have proposed. Such a wage increase must reanli in higher prices for steel than have pro viously been proposed to ue by the Govern ment. Great financtol harm would aoon fol low for all uaers of steel who would be obhged to pay higher prfeea for their steel higber wagee to their employees, and stfll havefbe prices for their own products aubjaet to OPA control Such a high and unjustified wage scale miidii weD epdl dtoastor tor many of the smaUtf steel companies and for a large number of steel fabrkatore and procesaort. The nation needs Mie output of these companies. Increased wagee and to-, creased prices which tovec eorapentoe out ef basinets'^ only result in irreperable dem- age to the American people. h) our judgment, it to dtottoctly In the public interest to take into account jttr in- jurioua effect upon American induetry of an unjustified wage tocreaea to the eteMinitaatry. After a toll and caretol eonaUtorathm of your proposal, we have readied the eonehe skm above statod. Reapecttodly ypon, BenjamR P. . i. ''At ■ .kli,-. 'll.-■.
