Began Early Today

elrrseunu-n. Oct. 1 may“. dfiY)-—-tAP)-A steel strike shutting down steel plants from coast in the United States began at 12:01 A.M. EST today.

Philip Murray. president of the United Steelworkers (C.I.O.), can. ed 52.000 of his unionists of! their lobe. crippling the vital industry.

PITTSBURGH. Sept. so —(AP) - President Philip Murray of the United Steelworkers (C.I.O.) to- night ordered his 528,000 workers to strike at one minute hfter mid- night.

The strike orders were sent in 53 basic steel companies, the Am- erican Oan Company and several iron ore mining companies. Murray announced the telegrams had bile“ Bent a few minutes after he and his fellow union negotia- tors had finished a fruitless ses- sion with Federal mediators.

The strike orders covered work- ers in these fields:

United States Steel Corporation subsidiaries. 150.590; other basic steel companies, 223,564; nearly 50 iron ore mining companies em- ploying 12,117 in Minnesota. Mich- loan. Wisconsin and Missouri; and 23 plants of the American Can Company. which employ 14,835 workers, 38mm‘ Murray said that after midnight “there. will he no contract between the company and the union by reason of the» failure of the com- [zany to reach agreement with the union. Our cause is just and right- eous. We will continue this strike until a mutualiy-satisfactory ag- reement is arrived at."

A statement issued by President Benjamin F. Fairless of United States Steel said: "Our collective lbergalning..necotlatlona with UB. steciworkers of America» have come to a complete impasse because of the unreasonable attitude of the union."

President Truman said he would take no further steps in the coun- try-wide dispute.

A Government mediator said that "for all practical purposes the strike is now on."

New Freight Rates Effeclivegci. l1

C/ITAWA, Sept. 30 - (C?) - General increases in rhilwsy freight rates authorized by the ‘Board of Transport Commissioners last week will become effective Oct. l1. .

The Board ordered that the rall- ways mush give 10 days’ notice be- fore putting in the permitted eight-per-cent general increase. The new rates now are being filed with the board, and officials said today it was expected all would be on file tomorrow, to go into ef- fect Oct. 11. _

Hundreds of new tariffs are in the schedules being filed with the commissioners and. while officials said it was difficult to determine immediately if the full increase was being called for in all cases, it was expected that the railways would take full advantage of the award.

The carriers had sought. a gen- eral increase of 30 per cent. The Board gave them eight per cent on most commodities. with a flat increase of eight cents a ton on coal and ccks.

Teamwork between Business. Government and Education was the theme of an inspiring address by Principal Frank MacKinnon, of Prince of Wales College, at the annual meeting of the Charlotte- town Board of Trade and regional meeting of the Canadian Chamber here yesterday.

“The lack of such team work has been a major weakness in many countries in recent years, and there are many illustrations to guide Canada in the adoption of an effective policy in this re- gard." Principal MacKinnon said. “There is no denying that each of these separately contriblites enor- mously to the development of Ca- nada‘as a nation; the three work- ing together can provide remedies for many problems which any one separately could not handle."

Business A Government

“One of the major factors in the development of Canada's economic life," he continued. "has been the link between Business and Gov- ernment. In the early days when small community enterprises could not develop in a large and barren country Government assisted by contributing grants of land or money, by backing bond issues, or by giving special political conces- sions. 1n this way the railways were pushed into the West, and banks and other business houses were encouraged. This liason is still important in a different form and there is every indication that it will be o. vital factor in the fu- ture.

The importance of this is em- phasized by a major contempor- ary‘ issue: Just how close is the
