Fact-Finder Labor Secretary To Make Steel Strike Report

WASHINGTON. (AP) - President Eisenhower and Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell decided yesterday to make public basic facts behind the steel strike in hopes of speeding negotiations and a settlement.

The information gathered by Mitchell as Eisenhower's personal fact-finder, will be made public for Thursday newspapers.

Mitchell said they will cover wages, prices, productivity, profits and a few related matters.

The Secretary told a news conference the information covers a major part but not all of the facts he has been assembling from industrial and government sources.

Mitchell said the report will be a factual one with no recommendations for action.

He told questioners the projected release of facts "is not intended as intervention. We hope as a result of these background statistics that the parties will bargain a little harder and reach a settlement."
