In Steel's Stand' Washington— (FP). A planned “campaign on the part of the greatest and wealthiest corporations in Amer ica to hold up the American people for exorbitant price increases or to destroy American labor” was seen by Sen. Joseph F. Guffey (D, Pa.) in a speech Feb. 6 sharply criticizing the U. S. Steel Corp, for its stubborn re fusal to compromise with its striking workers. Guffey got the Senate floor during the FEPC filibuster of southern poll tabers to take up the steel strike sit uation. The Pennsylvanian, who has been a good friend of organized labor throughout his long period of service, charged that “the blame for the pres ent strike rests squarely on the com pany. This does not seem to be mere ly of U. S.
