The negotiations, held in New York until now, were broken off last Friday by the United Steelworkers, which claimed the talks were getting nowhere. The decision to resume the talks was made in Washington Wednesday after the President talked with union and industry leaders in separate meetings. He reportedly told both sides in firm language that he wanted collective bargaining to continue. The President, who has referred to the strike as an intolerable situation, reportedly did not discuss issues during the meetings.
