If there is delay, he has full power to head off, a mid- year strike and disruptive steel inventory buildup as well. The reason is that the 80-day cooling - off injunction proced- ures of the Taft-Hartley labor law can be invoked to prevent a strike from oecurring as well as to stop one that has already started.

Gold- berg saying repeatedly that a steel strike in this stage of half- developed economic recovery is unthinkable, it's logical to as- sume the administration wouldn't lei_a 'steel walkout oc- cur if threatened. But besides not wanting a strike the administration wants to avoid the usual overstocking of steel in advance of a strike threat.

Tf all this came about, the threat of any stecl strike w: be put off from July-1 to past mid-Septembcr when the 80-day no-strike period ran out. Even then, the odds probably would be against a walkout--because Congress, too, could step in to prevent one. Such discussion is perhaps premature. It's siill early in the game. The Steelworkers Union is to come up with its demands for contract changes today in Pittsburgh. Such demands are traditionally a statement of goals rather than realistically expected attainments.

Italians also made up the big- gest group of arrivals in 1958, 1959 and 1966. ; Chief reason for the slump in immigration last year was the federal government's policy of discouraging entry of unskilled workers, the class which makes up the buik of Canada's un- employed.
