Truman seeks injunction to halt Oak Ridge strike
President Truman directs Attorney General Tom Clark to obtain a federal court injunction to stop a strike set to begin at midnight at Oak Ridge Tennessee. The move, tied to Taft-Hartley emergency powers, aims to prevent a 90 day work stoppage amid a dispute over wages insurance vacation and training programs with Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corp and the AFL Atomic Trades and Labor Council representing about 800 workers. The case centers on a new contract after Carbide assumed operation of the labs last March 1.

Truman faces pressure over universal military training plan
Officials privately concede Truman took a big risk advocating universal military training and a temporary drain as a response to the Russian challenge. Admin leaders argue passage or failure will signal strong or weak home support abroad. Diplomats fear Soviet reactions include propaganda denial and claims of US war aims, while Stalin may slow Communist parties outside the Soviet bloc.

Labor dispute escalates as UMWC and operators trade charges
Lewis told United Mine Workers last Friday the operators dishonored the contract by refusing pension demands. Van Horn countered that Lewis provoked the walkout to force the pension issue. He alleged the UMW chief sought to push pension funds beyond Taft Hartley limits and unite all members, including those at small firms not under the contract. Potential steps involve a national emergency board, possible court action, or a neutral trustee, with both sides unable to reach a swift resolution.
