The comlmittee:yesxerd!ay considered t% steel strike question .without be ing able to. report out the resolution. The majority of the emipflqyers group oppose ft, and there are a number in the public group wMch wlQl vote a gain sit it. The steel strike, s?ome con tend is virtually over, and many of the delegates deplore its introduction into the conference. Whatever action may be taken by the committee, it is ceritadn that the issue will eventually come to the floor to be fought out in open session. The employers group in outKnlrtsr its posfitioai declared emphatically for the open sihop, the iss\ie on which the steel strike binges. There should be no interference of the open sh'op and the riig'ht of the employer and his men to continue their relations on that principle should not be interferred with, it was argued. The sitand of Judge Gary was afain upheld when the resofuticn of the em ployers' croup declared that no em ployer should be required to deal with men or groups of men who arc n'ot Wis employees or chosen by and among them. At the same time the report emphasizers the fact that the right to strike should not be denied when all other means have failed.

HUE sura This Corporation Has Pur chased AH Ships It 1 Has Built DISPELS UNCERTAINTY Ships Built In Alexandria Rank Among Best Afloat Says Shipping Board Officials. j The average Alexandrian may not j have appreciated the significance of j t'he recent ptptch'ase by the Virginia j Shipbuilding Corporation of aJl the I shrips which this corporation has I built, is building and which it con ! tracted to buFld for the United Sta'tes Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation. All other shipyards with Emerg ency Fleet Corporation contracts :ure ncaring the completion of their con tracts and are, therefore, forced to depend upon contracts wi'th outside firms in order to keep their yard's busy. In. the great majority of cases I such contracts have not been avail ! able. The position of the Virginia Shi/pbuiMng Corporation, however, is* different. The new contract with the United Staites Shipping Board Emer gency Fleet Corporation provides the Virginia Shipbuilding Corporation with the shipfe themselves after they Wave been built.
