Steel strike likely settled within a week says official
A 24 day old steel strike may end within seven days according to an unnamed source cited by Halleck. High government officials say President Truman has not decided on invoking the Taft Hartley Act and would not act immediately, possibly delaying until next week. If an injunction to stop an 80 day strike were sought, there is no sign the steelworkers would heed it. Philip Murray, CIO head and United Steelworkers president, has said the Taft Hartley Act will not guarantee steel production.
