IDes Moines Register Page Aug. 28, 1051 Copper Union Rejects Bid To End Strike DENVER, COLO. (P)-Striking mine and smelter workers who stopped production of defensevital copper refused Monday night to call off their strike "unless and until" the government presses the companies to accept government- -proposed settlement.

John Clark, president of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter workers, made the statement pending receipt of request from the wage tion board (WSB) that the men return work. The was asked by President Truman to attempt to settle the dispute. About 58,000 workers in the copper, lead, zine and silver dustries walked off their jobs Monday in a wage dispute. Charles E. Wilson, defense mobilization director, told President Truman the strike would "drastically curtall the production of tanks, guns, planes and other military Items for the defense program as well Items required from the civilian economy." The strike paralyzed virtually 95 per cent of the nation's copper mining and refining industry in 15 states.

It halted operations of the four major producers-Kennecott, Anaconda, Phelps-Dodge and American Smelting Refining Co. Affected in addition to copper is the production of sulphuric acid, vitally needed in making high-octane aviation gasoline, and zine and lead. Copper production had been described as a defense bottleneck even before the strike. In addition to the mine and smelter workers, some 40,000 members of A. F.

L. craft unions and two railroad brotherhoods were idled by the strike when they refused to cross the smelter workers' picket lines. Hearing Wednesday. Clark said his union would send representatives to Washington, D. for a hearing scheduled for 1 p.

m. Wednesday at the wage board's headquarters, But Clark's statement added: cannot, of course, agree to call off our strike unless and until we receive assurances from the government that it will press for acceptance by the companies of its own proposal for settlement of the dispute." 16-Cent Offer. The union said federal media. tors had proposed to the strikebound companies a wage settlement proposing wage increases averaging 16 cents an hour and a pension plan to cost an additional cents. The union said this proposal was acceptable.

But A. S. Cherouny, Kennecott negotiator in Washington, said acceptance would set a pattern that would impose economic burdens on entire non-ferrous industry. The non-ferrous industry produces metals other than iron. Clark said that when his union representatives appear before the W8B in Washington they will "urge acceptance of the proposal al made Sunday by Cyrus Ching, director of the U.

S. conciliation service for settlement of the dispute between this union and the metals operators." Expelled by 0. I. 0. Giark added "we will remind the board that this union has already called upon President Trutan to 'use his good offices' to obtain acceptance by the metal companies the Ching proposal, which we accepted almost immediately after it was made." The mine-mill union was pelled from the C.

I. O. last year when the executive board sustained findings that the union had Communist leanings. The union once was a part of the International Workers of the World (IWW). Originally the smelter union asked for a "package" of 32 cents an hour, then reduced it to 25 cents and then to 19 cents (excluding pensions, insurance and health benefits).

Pensions would have added 4.5 cents an hour and on this there was virtual agreement. 15-Cent Offer. The Kennecott company is said to have offered 15 cents an hour exclusive of pensions, while the government proposal suggested by Assistant Mediation Chief Clyde Mills and a panel was reported to be- 16 cents an hour exclusive of pensions, etc. Kennecut rejected the mediations proposal. The current wage is said to range between $1.31 and $1.85 an hour with an average of approximately $1.54 an hour.

Here's That Man 'Again Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, complete with scowl, hurries from gangplank of the Queen Elizabeth upon arriving at New York, N.

(A). GLUM GROMYKO ARRIVES IN U.S, By A. M. Rosenthal. Leased Wire from The N.

Y. Times. NEW YORK, N. Y. Andrei A.

Gromyko, in a glum mood, arrived here Monday and paused just long enough to make it plain that the Soviet delegation to the San Francisco, conference on a peace treaty had come armed with its own proposals and ready to fight the noamendment stand of the United States. The Soviet deputy foreign minister led a party of 31 delegates and advisers who crossed the Atlantic on the Queen Elizabeth en route to the treaty conference opening on Sept. 4. Appears Pale, Worn. Gromyko, who looked worn and pale and brushed aside all questions-from the state world to the state of his health what he intended to say and no more, and then into a limousine waiting to take him to the Russian estate at Glen Cove on Long Island.

Gromyko and his aides stayed behind his locked cabin door while the ship was coming up the harbor, to get away from a crowd of photographers and newspapermen who had boarded the ship at Quarantine. Two newspapermen were let in to greet the Soviet diplomatboth Russians. Finally Emerges. An attache of the Soviet embassy in Washington, finally came out and announced that Gromyko- once the voice of the Soviet bloc at the United Natons and now one of the top men in the Kremlin's foreign ministry -would have a few words to say. Gromyko said them into a microphone on the sun-deck, reading from a handwritten statement in English: Soviet delegation is coming to the San Francisco conference to take part in the consideration of a very important question the peace treaty with Japan.

"Own Proposals." "As the Soviet government has already stated, the delegation of the U. S. S. R. will submit its own proposals on the peace treaty with Japan.

Naturally these proposale will be disclosed at the conference itself. "We hope that they will be supported by all those who are really interested in such a peace treaty with Japan which would lay a foundation for the establishment of normal relations between Japan and other countries, especially those who suffered most from Japanese aggression, and consequently lay a foundation for a durable peace in the Far East." Cuts Off Questions. At that point Gromyko waved his hands, cutting off a few halfsprung questions, said "no other comments" and strode off the ship, with a phalanx of bodyguards and assistants marching fore and aft. Gromyko's statement about the Soviet union's "own proposals" was in effect an answer to ADVERTISEMENT. Worry of FALSE TEETH Slipping or Irritating?
