Truman Seeks Deadlock Break
(By United Press)
The worst wave of strikes in the nation's history crippled American industry today as the administration sought means of breaking the deadlock over wages.
Strikes from coast to coast made 1,786,000 workers idle and cost them $13,500,000 in lost wages every day.
Meanwhile, Washington officials were reported drafting legal procedure for seizure of the strike-bound packinghouses to prevent a meat famine and halt revival of black markets.
Sigure still had not been considered seriously for the steel industry, and many of Mr. Truman's advisers were hopeful that the U. S. Steel corp. would decide to accept his suggested wage increase of $18 \frac{1}{2} cents an hour.
18½ cents an hour.
Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach appointed William H. Davis, former chairman of the war labor board, and Arthur S. Meyer, chairman of the New York mediation board, as mediators in the strike of 200,000 CIO electrical workers. Schwellenbach and his newly-appointed mediators met with officials of General Electric and Westinghouse and CIO Electrical workers' union members, who struck a week ago for a $2 a day wage increase.
The steel strike, now in its second day, was beginning to be felt in allied industries. The strike already has forced the layoff of 100,000 non-striking office workers and about 50,000 railroad, river barge and coal mine workers.
As steel production dropped to the lowest level in 53 years, CIO Pres. Philip Murray charged that big business was demanding "unconditional surrender" from the government and public.
