| Description: | Steel Strike! As talks between union and steel industry leaders in New York come to a hopeless deadlock, the mills bank their fires and half a million across the nation go out on strike. Federal mediation efforts fail to break the deadlock, and in related industries, the effects of the strike begin to be felt, with thousands of other workers in forced idleness. Aerials of factories. Interior factory or steel mill, men in hard hats apparently extinguishing the fire that normally burns. Interiors empty industrial site. Press photographers. Men in suits shake hands. Men (striking workers) lean on signs that say things like "U.S.W. No Contract No Work. AF of L-CIO." (AFL-CIO) Idle rail yards. | |
