Steel strike slows defense material flow to plants
In Pittsburgh on June 24, the CIO United Steelworkers strike entered its 23rd day, delaying shipments of defense materials. Cement for jet testing cells moved from Buffington, Indiana to Studebaker in South Bend, while finished steel stayed locked in warehouses. Steel firms report no usual shipments as wage and contract disputes with the Wage Stabilization Board persist. About 650,000 steel workers and over 100,000 allied workers remain idle as the stoppage widens.

Foes of Controls Target Death of Price Act Extension
Washington reports Tuesday that Republicans and Southern Democrats plan to kill the Defense Production Act extension. With the act expiring next Monday, House action Wednesday could push a let-it-die movement. Rep. Spence says administration forces will fight. The Decontrol amendment and wage board abolition shift power away from price controls. The House agenda includes a Taft Hartley steel strike injunction vote, with administration uncertain of blocking it. Truman notes Congress cannot force him to invoke the law.
