House and Senate Seek To Use Taft-Hartley On Steel Strike
Washington reports Congress joined in urging President Truman to invoke the Taft Hartley Act to curb the three week old steel strike. A 190 to 133 House vote backed a wage price bill amendment urging use of the law rather than an injunction. Support spanned Republicans and Southern Democrats, with administration Democrats and some industrial-area Republicans opposing. The move follows the Senate vote to request action two weeks earlier. Truman had said Congress cannot tell him what to do but noted the law remained under consideration. Critics warned of fueling tensions amid 650,000 CIO steelworkers on strike and over 100,000 idle in allied industries lacking steel.
