WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 - Deadlocked steel wage negotiations were brought to a showdown at the White House today amid indications that neither union nor industry indus-try representatives would yield before hearing President neimula. Mr. Truman promised to submit sub-mit his own proposal for settling the critical wage dispute unless President Philip Murray of the United Steel Workers (CIO) and President Benjamin F. Fairless of the U. S Steel Corp. reached an agreement today. Neither One Budged Fairless and Murray agreed to return to the white house at 2 p. m. today for another effort. They had failed to reach a settlement- at a white- house conference confer-ence last Saturday and, again in more than six hours of fruitless discussion yesterday. Mr. Truman also called his three-man steel fact-finding board to the white house for 2 p. m. White house secretary Charles G. Ross said the members would discuss "the whole situation" with the president. The board has deferred de-ferred hearings pending efforts ef-forts to settle the dispute by collective bargaining. The white house said Mr. Tru man would hold off until Murray and Fairless again discuss the union's wage demands this afternoon after-noon at their third white house conference In five days.
