CabinetiTo Study Steel Sitggtion

Government Faced With Toughest Labor

Problem Since Sta

By JACK WILLIAMS Canadian Pram Staff Writer OTTAWA. July 11 — Strike of ateelworkers in three basic steel plants faced the government to- night with the toughest labor problem since the start of the war. but there was no hint of

“that action it proposed talclng.

In several respects the steel ivork stop e was more than s strike. It s the first open de-

fiance by a union of the govern- ment's policy of se plants to keep production rol g and it appeared to be s. showdown in current demands for higher wages and shorter hours.

The government appeared to have the choice of three courses:

l. It could sit tight and with- hold any action for a limited time.

2. It could attemipt to negotiate a settlement with the United Steelworkers of America (C10,).

3. It could adopt a tough role and use the broad penalty clauses of the order-in-council under which the plants were seized July 10.

For the weekend at least. the "sit tight" policy had been chosen. Saturday Labor Minister Mitchell held a series of conferences with his senior aides and he was also

A full cabinet session is expected to study the situation tomorrow and it appeared likely a decision might then be reached on whether the government was to make new efforts for a settlement with the union or start invoking penalties.

Outlook for negotiations was not bright. The union last week turn- ed down flatly a government pro- posal for an increase of l0 cents an hour for workers in three

The weekend brought reports from the union of a further ofler of another two cents cflective Nov. i. but a government spokesman
