Truman weighs Taft-Hartley use over steel strike
President Truman said Congress cannot force him to act under the Taft-Hartley law though it considers it. He warned a new 80 day period would prolong the crisis as 650000 steelworkers under seizure stay on the job while the Supreme Court previously overturned seizure. He said Congress could pass laws but it is his duty to apply them and urged defense production through reopening mills. He also argued taxes must rise to cover the deficit, and dismissed prospects for a 15 percent tax cut by any Democratic president.
