The' first moves were aimed at the price of bacon then 80 cents a pound and higher. The ultimate goal is 45-cent-a-pound bacon. It is nearing that price in many shops and some meat dealers are meeting it. To establish what seemed a fair price, committee members studied Department of Agriculture, O.P.A. and farm figures.

What happens in steel is a kind of weathervane for what happens in the rest of industry.) Back Pay Granted The next day, Saturday, came more good news about relations between the C.I.O. and U. S. Steel. The company announced: An agreement, after two years of talks, to give C.I.O.
