The Nation Today outlines remedies for a looming steel strike as CIO's Murray ties a raise to Jan 1. Truman could refer the issue to the wage stabilization board or invoke Taft-Hartley to seek an 80 day injunction, though neither option guarantees a settlement or prevents a strike if workers push hard.
