350,000 Get Raises
In Steel Industry;
More Increases Due

PITTSBURGH, July 17.—The line
formed to the right today as basic
steel companies fell hi behind U. S.
Steel Corp. in raising wages with
the promise of higher prices to
come.
^Bethlehem Steel Corp. today
granted a 13-cent hourly Increase to
its 80,000 workers throughout the
Nation. The new agreement, joint
ly announced by the company and
the CIO-United Steelworkers, raised
hourly rates from 9ti cents to 25
cents an hour. The Increase was
retroactive to Friday.
More than 350,000 workers in the
steel industry have received wage
Increases in the last two days. Some
000,000 employes are expected to be
covered when negotiations are com
pleted with the basic steel and fab
ricating industry.
U. S. Steel Grants Increases.
U. S. Steel yesterday gave up its
avowed fight to curb inflationary
tendencies and granted 13-cent
hourly increases to 170,000 CIO
United Steelworker members in its
six subsidiaries. The company said
its 100,000 salaried workers would
receive similar increases.
Plrst to join the swing to fatter
paychecks was Weirton 8teel Corp.
at Weirton, W. Va., which granted
Increases of 10 cents to 25 cents or
an average 14 cents hourly to 10,
000 members of its independent
union. The company gave compar
iable increases to its salaried work
ers.

Jones St Laughltn Steel Corp., the
Nation’s fourth largest producer,
will meet with the CIO United
Steelworkers in Pittsburgh Tuesday.
At the same time discussions will
: get under way with the Youngs
'town Sheet St Tube Co. in the
Ohio city.
Youngstown President Prank Pur
nell said, ”we have always met com
petitive wages and prices.”
The Armco Steel Cotp. at Middle
town, Ohio, reported it was ‘‘giving
the question of a wage increase very
careful consideration."
United States Steel’s raise brought
the average hourly pay of Its pro
duction workers to $1.68.
Benjamin P. Pairless, United
States Steel president, said in a
statement the wage increase meant:
the corporation was forced to aban
don plans to stabilize living costs by
pegging wages. Last April "Big
Steel” refused the steelworkers an
increase and instead lowered prices
of its products some $25,000,000 an
nually.
The United States Steel contract,
which is identical with the Beth
lehem agreement, extends the pres

Knight said, "mats my noooy—
watching them eat me out ol house
and home. They’re a great bunch
of kids and really like It here.. Many
of them don’t see three square meals
a day very often, and we give them
all they want. I prepare 450 meals
a day, but the garbage pail never
gets more than a quarter full."
Mr. Knight was approached 17
years ago to work for the camp
during the summer. He wasn't sure
at first, but when he heard what it
was all about he agreed. And he's
answered the call every year since.
Prior to 1937 the camp was at Blue
Plains.
“I can’t explain it but I feel a
part of this place and these chil
dren,’’ he said. "I look forward to
coming every year. Others give
money to send the youngsters here,
and I figured I could do my part
by coming down here and cooking.
“Every so often a kid will come
up to me after dinner, and hell
stick out his stomach and pat it.
He won’t say anything; he’ll Just
look up at me and smile.”
Chef Knight has had a lot of ex
perience in the culinary arts. He
started in shortly after World War
I in the Naval Hospital, and he has
also worked at Georgetown Uni
versity, for railroads, summer re
sorts, private families and Wash
ington restaurants. Last year he
was chef at Club Bengasi here. He

Britain to Relay 'Voice'
Broadcasts to Europe
A new arrangement with the
British Broadcasting Corp. to make
the Voice of America heard more
clearly in Europe was announced
yesterday by the State Department.
Beginning today, BBC will use
additional radjo transmitters to re
lay the American official broadcast
to most countries on the continent.
Assistant Secretary of State George
V. Allen said the purpose was to
“insure a larger listening audience
in this vital target area.”
“Voice” programs to Europe al
ready are relayed by BBC for three
hours a day. Under the new ar
rangement, five additional trans

. increase this period to nine hours
