Steel Negotiators Set Session
After Sharp Rebuke by Mitchell
NEW YORK (AP) - In the
wake of a sharp public rebuke by
Secretary of Labor James P. Mit-
chell, industry and union negotia-

session since the nationwide steel
strike began July 15.
Today’s meeting had been ar-
ranged by federal mediators be-
fore Mitchell accused both sides
of failing to make serious efforts
to settle their contract dispute.
Mitchell noted in Washington
Saturday that the negotiators had
met just once — and for only two
hours — last Monday.
“This is no way to bargain.”
