Steelmen In Triple Squeeze By Truman Seizure Fight
James Marlow reports that President Truman has put the steel industry under a triple squeeze restricting its ability to oppose government seizure. The three pressures are public opinion, ongoing legal battles likely to reach the Supreme Court, and the authority given to Secretary Sawyer to set employment terms and potentially raise wages to force a settlement with the unions.

Steel seizure foes seek restraining order in federal court
In federal court three of the nation’s largest steel firms Republic Steel Youngstown Sheet and Tube and Bethlehem Steel challenged President Truman’s seizure of the industry arguing the government lacks constitutional power to take possession. John J. Wilson sought a temporary restraining order to bar plant operation while a permanent injunction is decided. Secretary Sawyer said no current plans to alter pay or profits but asserted authority under Truman’s orders. Steelman, acting defense mobilizer, held bargaining talks with industry and CIO president Murray who warned the talks would be unproductive. Truman called the efforts earnest.
