THE REGISTER-NEWS MT. VERNON, ILLINOIS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2,1953 BIG TIN CAN FACTORIES ARE HITBY5TRIKE Citrus Canning Industries and Sttel Makers Hurt By Walkout By 1 Press PITTSBURGH A strike by the CIO United Steelworkers shut down the nation's two largest can manufacturers today. The big union ordered the walkout last midnight against the American Can Co. and the Continental Can Co. after a deadlock In negotiations for new contracts.

American Can and Continental employ 33,000 USW members in 68 plants in 30 states and five plants in Canada. Of these, American operates 36 in 16 states and 1 in Canada employing about 20,000 workers. Some 13,000 other union members work in 32 plants of Continental in 14 states and 4 in Canada. The two companies employ more than 60,000 persons in all. About half of these are not affected since they are represented by other unions.

Closing of the plants will hit the citrus industry hard because It depends on tin cans to market its products. The strike also will affect the steel industry, which supplies most of the metal for cans. Representatives of both companies met separately with union bargaining teams Tuesday and Tuesday night in a last-ditch effort to avert the walkout. Federal mediators stood by un. til the final minutes waiting for a none came.

Talks got under way in New York about five weeks ago and switched to Pittsburgh last week. Ask 12-Cent Hour Raise The union seeks a 12 -cent hourly wage increase and several fringe Improvements for members who now average $1.80 an hour in the United States and $1.50 in Canada.

The remaining 2 cents was offered for Improved pension and vacation benefits and adjustment of area pay differentials. Meanwhile, Federal Mediators William Rose and George Woomer said they will continue efforts to bring the union and companies together. No new negotiations are scheduled. Some of the American Can Co. plants with USW contracts are located at Milwaukee; Terre Haute, Austfn and Indianapolis, Cincinnati: St.

Paul, St. Louis; Englewood, Maywood and Joliet, 111. Some of the Continental Can Co. plants struck are at Gary and Elwood, Milwaukee; St. Louis.
