There were some steel workers outside the local civic center this after noon . One of them said that they  had a meeting about a vote  as they had  not had a contract with the Mill for 3 months.. A poster on the wall showed a letter from the union president  saying a strike vote is put off as the employer had applied to the board for a ruling if the action would be legal.
