The meeting between Philip Murray, president of the CIO, and Benjamin Fail-less, head of Ihe S. Sleel went on for an hour and 40 minutes.

Murray and Fairless left, the While House together and told newsmen they'd be back at 12:30 p.m. (CST). Fairless told newsmen "we are lo discuss the situation with own people." Slalcincnl Confirmed Murray confirmed the There was no words of hope of a quick settlement, but some optimism surrounded the meetings. The fact Ihat Pali-Jess and Murray- planned lo talk to their associates seemed to indicate that some kind of new formula for ending the strike was in the works. In a brief statement, Fairies said: "We have had a meeting with the President and Dr.

Steelman and we have talked at length about our mutual problem. We are each going to discuss the situation with i our own people." Murraj' would add nothing to Ihe Falrless statement but said he subscribed to it wholeheatradly.

There was speculation, too. that he might suggest a new plan to deal with the union's demand for a union arrangement which compels all workers to join the union.
