slabs of white-hot steel to ballots on
Thursday to decide their economic
future in the Nation’s largest col-

cart their votes in a holiday mood
at the Jones A Laughlin Steel Corp.
plants.
But their numbers lined up before
the polls indicated the significance
of the election results for the 27,000
employes,
By their ballots they will decide
whether they are for or against the
union—the steel workers’ organizing
committee, affiliated with the John
L. Lewis Committee for Industrial
Organization. The majority will
rule.
While peace and good-natured ri-
valry ruled inside the mill properties

side the gates.
Warrants were issued against sev-
