PITTSBURGH. Dec. ll - (AP) --Thc United Steel Workers (C.I. 0.). rejecting President Truman's appeal to continue at work. today set Jan. i4 for the beginning of a general strike in United States s

teel mills.

Unless it is forestalied. the strike will be the largest in the history of American industry. affecting an estimated 700.000 workers at basic steel mills and in the allied alu- minum and iron ore industries.

At issue is the steel workers’ demands for a 32-min pay in- crease, reieoted by he steal companies on the ground that wages could not be raised without cvmmeusura‘ 1n- creases in the price of steel products.

The action. by the union's i16- man policy committee. follows a strike poll conducted by the Nat- ional Labor Relations Board un- der the terms of the Smith-Con- nolly War Disputes Act. The vote showed more than 400.000 favoring a strike and 83.000 against.

In the resolution calling the strike. the union declared:

“The membership of the United Steelworkers of America have bent every effort to avoid taking strike action. They have endeav- ored at all costs to accoanplish s. od this ail-

"The steel industry. because of its determined arrogance and ad- amant refusal to meet its public obll-ilation. must stand condemned as being solely responsible for the present inzpasse.

In another resolution. the policy committee sold it condemned Pre- sident ‘lirumsmk proposed labor legislation for ending strikes. as

v iously anti-labor and an at- tack upon our basic democratic liberties..."

Storm Disrupts Power Service

An abrupt change in the wea-

ther left. the countryside blanketed with two inches of snow yesterday when the first storm of the season swept the Province. Traffic in the Ciiv and towns was slowed down and many motorists drove with lights on at Lb.- height of the storm which was about noon when the wind reached a velocity of 43 miles per hour. Bus service with Borden was disrupted when buses failed to make the hill at Fredericton yes- terday forenoon. Planes were grounded until 4:15 in the after- noon. The car ferry was docked at Borden from 10:16 am until 12:13 um owing to the storm Last night telcgrarirl communica- tigrn with Borden had been broken 0

The Maritime Electric Company had considerable trouble during the day and a few customers were still without service last night. Most of the trouble was outside Charlottetown and was due to two causes .wet snow causing short- circuits and to wires being broken by the wind cc pulled down by uprooted trees.

Service to the airport. to Mount Stewart. Hunter River and North Wlltshire was out most of the dav but was restored early last night. The service to Monta- gue was disrupted only about ten minutes.

In Charlottetown the service was disrupted only to scattered dwellings except for a section in the northwest section of the City where street lights were out.

The telephone company has its

troubles too. principally in rural districts. but damage was not exH-nsive.

The power tie-up to the airport left the tenants at the emergency housing development there not only without lights but chilly as well. The buildings are heated by a central system with the coal handled by automatic stokers and the fires were low uatli power was restored about 7 p.m.
