But the A.F.L.-C.I.O. made it clear that it expects the steel walkout to last at least another month; it scheduled a rally to back the steelworkers at its annual convention on Sept. 18, considered a drive to collect i^ a day from each of its 13,300,000 members to help support the 500,000 steel strikers.
