Senate Labor Panel Backs Seizure Bills on Steel Strike
The Senate labor committee approved Humphrey’s bill to empower President Truman to seize the steel industry and a broader Morse proposal to seize any defense vital industry with congressional veto. Both had been rejected earlier this month as amendments to wage price control legislation and now proceed to the Senate calendar amid doubt on final passage. The steel seizure plan would let the president take plants and set wages and conditions but not enforce a union shop.
