CIO Steelworkers Unon To Press for Pay Raise ATLANTIC CITY --(P)- The wage-policy committee of the CIO's steelworkers union decided yesterday to press the steel in- dustry for a substantialpayraise, a guaranteed annual wage and 20 other concessions. And it appeared that the mil- lion-man union was ready to buck the Wage Stabilization Board in an effort to ease wage controls and get more money. Operetta Tickets Still BeingSold The bad Barronets of Ruddigore will appear again at 8 p.m. today and tomorrow when "Ruddigore" is presented at the Lydia Mendels- sohn Theatre. Thecomicmelodrama is being presented for the first time in Ann Arbor by the Gilbert and Sullivan Society. Complete with an ances- tral line of ghosts, a pretty hero- ine, two heroes and a choreis of professional bridesmaids, "Ruddi- gore" is a parody of late eighteenth century melodrama. Tickets for the show can still be obtained at the theatre box of- fice. They cost $1 and 75 cents. PHILIP MURRAY, chief of both the CIO and the Steelworkers, said he hoped negotiations could start within a few weeks. While the committee agreed on a request for a substantial wage increase, Murray declined to put a figure on it. He said this was a "negotiable factor." However, he did say that five cents an hour would not be enough to meet the demand. Under the wagestabilization formula, this amount is all union members are entitled to, because they got a raise last fall. MEANWHILE, IN Cincinnati, President Benjamin F. Fairless of the U.S. Steel Corporation said in a prepared address last night that the size of a pay raise "will appar- ently have to be decided finally in Washington." He said he thought any fur- ther steel wage increases now "will only result in an increase in the cost of living." l - A A -jE Starts To day!1 We're OFF to an early start!
