Washington June 3 AP a bitter all out steel strike shuts industry down and the White House weighs its next peace move in the six month old union management fight. Both sides urged renewed talks but no date set. Truman faces options including invoking Taft Hartley 80 day injunction or asking Congress for special legislation. Steel workers began leaving mills as the Supreme Court ruled the April order seizing the industry unconstitutional. Leaders say talks may resume but union maintains wage stabilization board 26 cent rise while industry contends 121/2 cent plus fringe benefits and price approvals. If no deal, the strike could last at least a week.
