Supreme Court nullifies Truman steel seizure in 6 to 3 ruling
The Supreme Court held President Truman's April 8 seizure of the steel industry cannot be sustained as an exercise of military power. Justice Black led the majority with concurring opinions from Frankfurter Douglas Clark Jackson and Burton, while Chief Justice Vinson wrote a dissent joined by Justices Reed and Minton. The ruling requires surrender of the mills to their owners and blocks the wage boost promised to CIO workers, signaling Congress has sole authority to legislate in this area. The decision marks a victory for constitutional limits on executive power.
