(mind
SERVICS
I have today referred to the Nage Stabilization Board
the labor dispute between the United Steel Workers of America, CIO,
and various companies in the steel industry. This dispute has
now arrived at a stage where it gravely threatens the progress of
national defense.
Negotiations between the union and the steel companies
are at an impasse and there appears to be no hope of settlement
through mediation. Unless some means is found for breaking this
impasse, a shutdown of the steel industry at the end of this month
is in prospect.
It is of the utmost importance to prevent an interruption
in the production of steel. Steel is a key material in our entire
defense effort. Each day of steel production lost is a day lost
forever in the achievement of our production schedules.
Continuous production of this industry is essential in order to
meet urgent demands for steel -- steel for weapons, for factories,
for highvays and hospitals and schools.
It is for this reason that I have certified this matter
to the Wage Stabilization Board. This will provide the parties
