One of these is a move by Sen. Byrd (D.-Va.) for the Senate to request that Mr. Truman act un- der the Taft-Hartley Law and seek | a court order against the strike. In apparent reference to that Mr. Truman said: “I want to make | it very plain to the Congress that | the result of using a Taft-Hartléy type injunction in this dispute would be to take sides with the | companies and against the work- ers.” He said too that he thought it might be “futile” in restoring pro- duction, “Our national security depends upon our total economic strength, and steel is # basic element in that strength,” Mr. Truman said. “Consequently, we are faced with the imperative need for get-| ting most, if not all, of the na- tion’s steel mills back into pro- duction ver promptly. “There are several possible courses of action that might be followed.

I could only use the Taft- Hartley approach.

Monday, before the deadlock de- | veloped, the authors of three dif- |ferent plant seizure proposals— Sens. Maybank (D.-S. C.), Mon- j}roney (D.-Okla.) and Morse (R.- | Ore.)—were saying frankly that they had little hone of winning | support from a Senate majority. Senate action on such measures was postponed until today at Pres- ietter to the Senate before the talks col lapsed, Mr. Truman said it would be tragic if a Senate move were to wreck the promising steel ne- gotiations. Monday night Morse told a re- porter the stalemate emphasizes the immediate necessity for con- gressional action. He said the Taft -Hartley Law should be amended so that President Truman could obtain continued full operation of the steel mills until the dispute is setiled. Monroney told a reporter the collapse in negotiations probably increased the chances of “some legislation with teeth” - being passed to meet such emergencies. Both Maybank and Monroney said that regardless of whether the steel strike is settled Congress should put some law on the books giving the President power to keep defense industries operating.
